{"text": "The transition from magnetic stripe debit and credit cards to the new EMV (Euro MasterCard/Visa) standard has barely begun, but fraudsters already are probing for security weaknesses that will allow them to thrive even after the technology is widespread.\nKaren Postma, client service director and fraud expert at The Members Group, sounded the alarm last week during a webinar, “The Fight Against Card Fraud—ROI Knockout.”\nShe says fraudulent card applications and account takeovers are on the rise in the U.S. and around the world. “Fraudsters are trying different mechanisms to understand in a post-EMV world where they can commit fraud and how easy it is.”\nAs fraud continues to expand, traditional means of deception such as phony transactions by mail and telephone and counterfeit cards continue to lead the way, Postma says. Keyed-in transactions at big-box merchants have been particularly successful of late; crooks ask clerks to manually input the account number and CVV2 code, explaining away the useless magnetic strip on the phony card.\nEMV, which relies on a computer chip embedded into a card as well as dynamic password authentication, promises to make fraud more difficult to commit. The technology is easing its way into the U.S. in some markets ahead of the Oct. 1, 2015 deadline that shifts liability for fraudulent transactions to merchants. It’s forecasted to be the dominant means of point-of-sale and online sales by the end of the decade.\nIn the long run, EMV will make fraud less prevalent, Postma says.\nHowever, only 40% to 45% of merchants and issuers will be EMV-capable by the 2015 deadline, Postma says, and a complete migration will take many more years.\nAlthough the transition to EMV is costly, Postma advises adoption as quickly as possible because “fraudsters are going to target those merchants and those issuers that are not EMV-enabled.”\nFighting two emerging threats\nStill, no system is failsafe. Crooks have been exploring two pathways to beat EMV that focus on obtaining what at face value is an active, legitimate card.\nOne method is to establish multiple fraudulent accounts at financial institutions through which the fraudsters make fictional deposits into a checking account and attempt to use a debit card to pay off their credit card balance—a circle in which no real funds exist.\nAnother method is account takeover. Fraudsters equipped with standard account information and customary validation responses—Social Security number, mother’s maiden name—contact a call center to report a lost or stolen card. They’ll ask for a replacement card to be sent to the address where the cardholder purportedly is on vacation, when in reality it will be delivered to their base of operations.\nOne way to combat this technique is by alerting your front-line staff to the threat, and training them to go beyond the norm in validating a caller’s identity by asking questions that only the cardholder would know: What’s a restaurant they like to frequent? What was their last valid transaction?\n“This is your best line of defense,” Postma says. “That will trip them up.”\nMonitoring accounts for suspicious activity also can limit fraud. Postma presented the example of a longtime cardholder who typically uses just 30% of the credit line suddenly extending that use to 90% of capacity while reducing monthly payments.\nDigital wallets a concern\nAnother area of concern is digital wallets, which allow a consumer to conduct electronic commerce via credit card info and other data embedded into a smartphone or another device.\nThe level of fraud exposure isn’t yet certain, Postma says. However, the sector is ripe for exploitation because 50% of smartphones and tablets have some sort of malware on them, potentially exposing cardholders using those devices for mobile payments. It’s uncertain whether encryption and other embedded security measures will be a barrier to fraudsters.\nJust because a credit union isn’t directly involved with digital wallets doesn’t mean they’re a nonissue. Some members, for example, use the service with credit cards issued by the credit union.\nIf staff isn’t familiar with digital wallets, they will be hard-pressed to answer specific questions, recognize fraud, or aid in recovering funds.\nMitigating fraud fallout\nWhen a situation emerges, credit unions turn to their vendors for assistance. But it’s advisable to develop an in-house expert on these topics and train employees to rely on a response plan, which you should craft in advance of a crisis.\n“Empower your people with knowledge,” Postma advises.\nYour credit union’s safeguarding efforts should include compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) standards. Approximately 40% of financial institutions don’t follow basic FFIEC compliance regarding online banking, according to Postma, and hackers are targeting them as a result.\nLast year, 17 financial institutions were hacked, representing less than 4% of all data compromises. Already this year, seven financial institutions have been compromised, boosting that figure to more than 5%.\nTwo credit unions suffered distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which don’t affect cardholder data but create the perception of vulnerability because they paralyze online banking systems.\nCredit unions should involve members in safeguarding measures. Inform them of your big-picture security initiatives and offer services such as fraud and transaction alerts.\n“The more you engage your cardholders in a near-real time environment, the more you’re going to stop fraud, and the more they’re going to understand about the steps that you’re taking to prevent fraud from happening,” Postma says.\nIf a member falls victim to fraud, respond aggressively. Assure them you are fast-tracking their concern. Apply account credit quickly when it is due. Follow up with the cardholder.\n“I know this sounds weird but … try to make it a positive experience,” Postma says. “It has been proven statistically that you can enhance your relationship with a cardholder or member if you react in a positive, quick manner to fraudulent activity.\n“This is your time to shine as a financial institution, to take these steps to put a cardholder at ease.”\nBig-box retailers a common target\nNearly one-quarter (23.6%) of all fraudulent transactions in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2013 emanated from California, followed by Texas (9.3%), New York (8.65%), Florida (7.51%), and Illinois (3.81%), The Members Group reports.\nThe most common fraud targets are big-box retailers, such as Super Wal-Mart and Super Target, followed by electronics warehouses and bookstores, including Amazon.com.\n“Those are hotbeds for fraudsters,” Postma says. Gift cards for Visa and assorted merchants are the most popular items purchased, essentially laundering the fraudulent purchase.\nThe end goal for card issuers isn’t limiting the number of fraud cases—Postma says that rate will continue to rise—but rather limiting losses.\n“You have no control over the merchants that get comprised,” she says. “What we do have control over is the amount per case that the fraudsters get.”\nOTHER RESOURCES\n- NCUA Fraud Information Center\n- The Members Group Podcast: The Changing Card Fraud Landscape\n- The Members Group Webinar: The Fight Against Card Fraud—ROI Knockout"}

{"text": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference Tuesday and announced a series of measures meant to alleviate the affordable housing plight.\nThe affordable housing crisis, which mainly plagues central Israel, has prompted protesters to erect \"tent cities\" across Israel, including one right across from the Knesset in Jerusalem. The movement has called for a \"rent revolution\" and demanded both Netanyahu's resignation and that of Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz.\n- Receive Ynetnews updates directly to your desktop\nNetanyahu's plan includes significant incentives for contractors who build smaller apartments, rent-earmarked housing and student housing, and aims to add 50,000 apartments to Israel's housing market over the next two years.\nThe plan will allow contractors and land developers to purchase land form the Israel Land Administration (ILA) at attractive prices – up to 50% cheaper – if they agree to build small apartments.\nContractors bidding on rent-earmarked housing projects would be obligated to rent out 50% of the apartments built for a period of no less than 10 years, at 30% of their current value; and will be allowed to sell the other 50% of apartments at a price they will set.\nContractors will be allowed to raise rent rates annually, in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.\nThe system aims to promote \"housing integration\" and prevent the formation of \"rent-only zones,\" a source familiar with the details of the plan explained.\nContractors and land developers who will build student housing would be allotted the land for free, and will have to agree to government-supervised rent rates for 20 years.\n'Israeli construction bureaucracy too complex'\nGovernment sources said the plan does not require special legislation and can be implemented within a short period of time.\n\"I recognized this problem before I took office... and we have to deal with it. The best way to do that is to make sure there are more available, affordable housing,\" Netanyahu said.\n\"Housing prices in Israel are too expensive, and they're too expensive because there aren’t enough apartments. Building and marketing apartments in Israel in extremely complex – that's one of our major problems. It's a problem unique to us… Israeli construction bureaucracy isn’t just at the bottom of all other industrial states, it's on the bottom, period,\" he explained.\nNetanyahu stressed that starting next week, the state will implement new measures – which he said were two years in the making – for marketing housing-earmarked land.\nInstant solution? Netanyahu (Photo: Ofer Miron)\nThe plan calls for six newly-appointed national housing boards to authorize housing projects using a \"bureaucracy-slim\" process. The boards' mandate will be given for 18 months, after which it will be reviewed.\nThe prime minister also said the government will promote the construction of 10,000 housing units earmarked as student housing, nationwide. To further alleviate the students' specific housing problem, the government will also subsidize students' public transportation, allowing them to seek housing further away from universities. Netanyahu did not give a timeline for this part of the plan.\nNetanyahu said the government will finish setting the plan in motion before the Knesset breaks for recess.\nThe prime minister hopes that the plan would put an end to the growing protest, which has thoroughly rattled his political position in general, and especially within the Likud.\nLikud sources told Ynet that the growing social unrest has Netanyahu's party opponents \"smelling the blood,\" adding that for all intents and purposes the Likud's primaries race is underway.\nThe leaders of the affordable housing protest seemed unfazed by Netanyahu's plan, saying the outline offers only a partial solution: \"We have to study the outline further, but from what we heard it's not a solution – it's an attempt to divide our camp. We won't back down.\"\n'PM panicking'\nMeanwhile, MKs Arieh Eldad National Union)and Zeev Elkin (Likud), who head the Knesset's Land of Israel Lobby, issued a statement urging Netanyahu \"to add to his housing plan and life the political impediments preventing construction in Judea and Samaria, this enabling a solution for thousands of people, within the national consensus that includes Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem.\"\nOpposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni slammed Netanyahu's affordable housing plan, saying that he was \"taking down tents, not building homes.\n\"He doesn't understand that the problem isn't technical, but fundamental. The middle class needs to be unburdened, and for that the national policy must be changed. Marginal solutions are not enough.\"\nMK Yoel Hasson, chairman of the Kadima faction, added that \"This is just another ad-hoc plan which will have little effect on the housing market. It only demonstrates that the prime minister is panicking over the growing protest. Once again, Netanyahu's financial polices have failed.\"\nKadima MK Yohanan Plesner panned the plan as \"a hollow reform,\" while MK Nachman Shai said Netanyahu was \"trying to pull rabbits out of his hat, but the public knows he has none.\"\nThe Labor Party also dismissed the plan as ineffective: The proposed plan \"falls short of offering any real sustainable solutions to a core problem which has been festering for years,\" the party said in a statement.\nAttila Somfalvi contributed to this report"}

{"text": "Two Long Beach firefighters were injured in a house fire on West Hudson Street Thursday when they fought through heavy flames and smoke.\nFirefighters responded to the scene at 4:10 p.m. on the 200 block of West Hudson, where smoke was pushing from the top floor of the home.\n“Firefighters made entry and were met with heavy fire on the second floor with a significant portion of the fire located inside the attic,” the Fire Department said on Facebook. “A second alarm fire was transmitted shortly thereafter, which brought additional firefighting assistance from neighboring departments across the South Shore.”\nThe two firefighters were taken nearby hospitals in stable condition, one with a back injury while the other was treated for smoke inhalation.\nAbout 75 firefighters responded to the scene, and fire officials said that the blaze was under control within an hour. No residents were injured, though the home sustained significant fire, smoke and water damage.\nLong Beach Fire Commissioner Scott Kemins and Fire Chief Rich DiGiacomo could not immediately be reached for comment. Kemins told Newsday that two adults were at home when the fire broke out, but escaped safely. Seven adults and two children were displaced, and Kemins said that the Red Cross was providing assistance.\nThe fire appeared to have started in the attic, and the Nassau County Fire Marshal is currently investigating the cause.\n“You had a large volume of fire in the attic, which is kind of a confined space, hard to get to, so it was a labor intensive fire,\" Kemins told Newsday. “Firefighters, who wear about 80 pounds of gear and equipment, took turns putting out the flames and resting to avoid heat exhaustion and other injuries.”"}

At 12 months, just 16.8% of patients who received valganciclovir for 200 days developed CMV disease compared with 36.8% who had active treatment for only 100 days (P<0.0001). At 24 months, those percentage were 21.3% versus 38.7% (P=0.0008).\nDifferences in adverse events between the two courses of treatment were not significant.

{"text": "Leona Build Guide by ChillSucks\nLeona is one of the strongest tanks in the game and can take so many hits both early game and late game. She has an amazing amount of CC and can control a lane. She defiantly has an intimidating presence. At times she can rip through some of the squishes and her passive can help boost you're carries damage. She is personally my favorite tank in League of Legends\nEarly Game\nEarly game you should have started with a standard Regrowth and a pot. This will help you sustain yourself in lane and help you soak up a bit of damage. If you and your lane partner play it right you WILL be able to outlane your opponents. Play aggressively if the players you are playing against are squishy. If they are a bit beefier you might want to be a bit cautious. Make sure you let your partner farm and zone as much as you can. Harassing a bit with your E>Q will just increase your chances. When you and your partner are comfortable try to go in for a kill. You have some mobility and CC and should be able to knock a kill off. Continue to do this and buy wards to maintain your lane.\n-ROAMING-\nLeona is a pretty decent roamer with her mobility and with her decent amount of CC. You should try to roam and help other people on your team once you know for sure that your partner will be okay.\nMid Game\nNow you should be a bit tankier and starting to get into a few team fights. This part of the game is usually a bit slow. Go wherever you are needed and continue a steady ward flow for your team. This is also the part of the game where players begin to receive some decent damage. So you should try to avoid soaking up TO much damage because you might not have so much resist yet. But your good amount of CC should help you be able to pick up a lot of roaming kills or kills in small team fights at this time. Just continue to play it out and help your team in any way necessary.\nLate Game\nLate game, this is where Leona begins to become a BIG problem to teams. If everything has gone right you should have a lot of resist now. This is where you can pretty much take any damage thrown at you. You SHOULD start to play a bit more aggressive but it depends on how well your team is doing. Do NOT initiate team fights that will kill off your team. Try to set up team fights to where you know you have an advantage.\nEx: Team with a lot of AoE, Set-up a fight in a small packed area in the jungle. With your ult you can keep the enemy team down long enough for your AoE to completely destroy the opposing team.\nTry to always CC off anybody on your carries and keep who need to be kept protected, protected. Play it out for a bit and before you know it you should have gotten an easy Victory :3\nItem Builds\nSTART\nYou're starting items should just be\nREGROWTH+POT\nI don't really see anything else you can start with that will be decent with Leona.\nFIRST BUYS\nGenerally you should always go PHILO STONE and HEART OF GOLD.\nWith MERCURY TREADS or NINJA TABI depending on the enemy team.\nBUILDS\nCore Build: Randuins, Banshees, Shurleya's\nAgainst AD Heavy Teams: Sunfire or Thornmail\nAgainst AP Heavy Teams: Force of Nature or Quick Silver Sash\nOther decent items: Warmogs, Guardians, Aeiges\nSummoner Spells\nThe summoners you generally use are Exhaust and Flash but i'll evaluate all of the summoner spells and explain why some are good and the majority of them are bad for Leona.\nHeal: Bad summoner and is pretty useless. Should only be used if you are leveling a new account and don't have much to go off of.\nTeleport: Isn't a bad spell but it is useless for Leona to a certain extent. Tele should be on someone else on your team not you.\nClarity: You don't really run THAT low on mana and either way this spell is completely useless.\nIgnite: You are a tank.

I was undecided on what property to choose, so I called to discuss options instead of booking online. The woman I spoke to on the phone walked me through several properties over the course of an hour until we finally landed on the Moonlight Inn Gatlinburg. She was helpful, patient, and extremely kind. When we arrived, the property exceeded our expectations in size, cleanliness, and amenities. Moreover, it was an absolutely beautiful cabin in an excellent location. We debated traveling for a long time due to the pandemic, but are now so glad we did. Getting away was one of the best decisions we could havemade and this cabin made it all worth while. Many thanks to the American Patriot Getaways staff for making everything so seamless. When we return to the Smokies, we will definitely book through this company again.\nNichole that helped us book our cabin was phenomenal!!!\nIt is always a pleasure renting a vacation home from you guys. Each person I have spoke with when scheduling a vacation you all have been nothing but a fantastic help. Even getting a cabin to benefit my stepdads handicap needs . You guys are always amazingand I highly recommend you guys to anyone when planning a vacation to the mountains!!!!!!\nVERY well equipped cabin! This is the fifth cabin we stayed at in TN and by far the best! Everything worked perfectly and was in tip top quality!\nI would just like to say thank you for making our first cabin rental experience a great one.We will definitely be back soon.\nvery pleased with our stay. Thank you.\nEverything was perfect! The only thing that needs attention was the doorknob going into the bedroom from the kitchen. The bedroom door would not stay closed. Beautiful view and cabin. We will definitely come back!\nBest hot tub ever and wood burning fireplace added a special atmosphere that gas burning fireplace cannot. We could definitely tell it was a newly built cabin. One of the very few ridge top cabins around that has enough outdoor flat area to enjoy Cornhole, grilling and outdoor firepit at the same time. 5-star\nStayed here over the Christmas holidays with family, the cabin was just as described, very clean, which is the most important thing to me, but we all enjoyed the cabin and all it had to offer, hope to stay here in the future!!!

{"text": "The first cut is the deepestIggo's insight 05 October 2018\nUS Treasury bond yields rose sharply this week. That should make us more bullish on bonds. After all, you get paid more for owning fixed income now than at any other time in recent years. More than that, higher yields protect a portfolio from price volatility much more so than they did when yields were depressed by global central bank buying. Of course, they are higher in the US because the economy is booming and the Federal Reserve (Fed) is raising rates. The risk is, for those reasons, yields go higher. But the total return hit gets less as yields do move up and at some point, when the risk cycle turns, investors will be glad of the fact that they own fixed income. Especially in US dollar denominated portfolios. The dynamic may be the same in Europe, but ultimately bond yields have further to rise and they are starting from a lower base. For that reason it is not as easy to be as bullish on European fixed income.\nReflation happened\nI remember the day after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, I wrote a quick email to my colleagues and to clients suggesting that we should see markets react to what would clearly be a reflationary set of economic policies under the new Administration. US Treasury bond yields rose in anticipation of a more aggressive fiscal policy and a commensurate response from the Fed. The policy rate was just 0.5% at the time. Bond yields rose above 2.5% but then spent a year going sideways as there were doubts over how much of a fiscal boost would be forthcoming given the Administration’s problems in trying to get health care reform through Congress in the first part of the Trump era. This year taxes were cut and the economy has roared in response. Already this month we have had more strong reports on both manufacturing and services from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), the ADP survey on employment showed very strong jobs growth, continuing unemployment insurance claims are running at cyclical lows and durable goods orders were up 4.4% on the month in August. Growth might be slowing in emerging market economies that are facing a period of fiscal and monetary restraint and increased financing costs, but in the US current growth numbers are stronger than most people anticipated.\nStrong growth and tightening policy\nIt’s relatively easy then to justify the sharp move higher in bond yields this week. The 10-year benchmark hit 3.2% on Thursday, the highest for seven years. The strong data and comments from Fed Chairman Powell that short-term rates are probably not at neutral yet were behind the move. But let’s not forget, yields have been moving higher since July 2016 and have got higher with each piece of data suggesting the economy is at full capacity and that the Fed may have to raise rates by more than the market is currently pricing in. Real yields have risen more than inflationary expectations and there are some potential explanations for that – the decline in the Fed’s balance sheet, revisions to estimates of where the long-term neutral rate is, and perhaps even to potential growth. So far, inflationary expectations have failed to rise with the break-even inflation rate on 10-year TIPS at 2.17% at the time of writing and within the range it has traded in all-year. Yet I would not be surprised to see either higher oil prices or an upside surprise on wage or price data push those inflationary expectations higher. No-one knows when the reflation will fade and when growth will slow but even if the consensus for lower growth next year is correct, there is little evidence of it happening just now.\nIs 4% on the horizon?\nMost people in the bond market are reluctant to forecast significantly higher yields because yields haven’t been high for a long time. Yet a yield of 4% at some point in the next few months would not surprise me. Ultimately they may rise even more than that, who knows (but at the moment I find it hard to see it). The technical picture for treasuries is not great, given the slow rolling off of bonds held by the Fed, the increased borrowing requirement of the Treasury to fund the budget deficit and the unattractiveness of US bonds on a FX-hedged basis for foreign investors (the 10-Year US Treasury yield would need to be some 50 basis points (bps) higher to make it attractive to European investors whose default risk-free asset would be the 0.5% yielding German bund). Admittedly, there is strong demand for the long end of the US market from US pension funds, helping to explain why, on balance, the curve remains flat. The risk is though, that the upside to yields has been opened up by the market breaking through ranges that have been in place for some time. I am not forecasting 4% but I am saying it is a possible scenario in an economy that is experiencing nominal GDP growth of more than 5% in 2018.\nCheap is good\nOf course, the higher US yield goes, the more bullish I become on US fixed income. Higher yields tend to reduce the duration of bonds so the risk to capital of each incremental increase in yield gets smaller. Two years ago, taking the ICE-Bank of America US Treasury Index, a 50bps increase in yields would have resulted in a 3.3% capital loss and, annualised with the prevailing yield at the time would have meant a total return of -2%. A similar 50bps move today would leave the total return on the index flat. There is more cushion from current yields and less sensitivity (the index duration is around half-a-year shorter) than there was in 2016. For the US investment grade credit index the difference in total return from a 50bps increase in yields would have been +1.4%. In Europe, where yields remain very low, a 50bps increase in the yield on the European government bond index would still result in a total return loss of 2.8%. When yields are super low and start to rise is when returns are the most negative. Indeed, between the middle of 2016 to the end of that year, the total return of the US Treasury index was -4.9%. This year it has been -2.3% with income contributing a positive 1.7% and the price effect being less because of the lower duration of the index now compared to 2016. We are through the worst of the US bond bear market.\nStill concerns, but shorter dated US bonds are attractive\nSo at 3.2% yield it is more comfortable to be bullish on treasuries than it was when the yield was below 1.5%. For the pure 10-year exposure, an increase in yield to 4% from current levels would still result if a sizeable negative total return of just under 4%. But that compares with a loss of 4.4% (for a comparable yield move) six months ago and over 6% from the low in yields in July 2016. Remember that the US curve is very flat, there is only a 30bps difference in 2-year yields compared to 10-year yields, so being more bullish on US fixed income is probably better played out in the curve below the 10-year maturity mark for now. But should yields get to 4% the longer end would look much better. Not only because of the yield but because of what it would imply next.\nRates up then credit spreads wider\nA potential playbook or roadmap for the end of the fixed income cycle is the one where real yields and rates rise because of strong growth and an appropriate monetary policy response to the increase in inflationary pressures. In turn, higher real yields start to have a negative impact on risk assets. First, the risk-free rate becomes a competitive asset so riskier alternatives need to re-price accordingly. Second, higher real yields will have some impact on the real economy through increasing the cost of capital and making some investment projects unprofitable, not to mention increasing debt servicing costs for the indebted parts of the economy. As economic growth slows it becomes harder for equities to keep delivering growth and reduces the ability of companies, at the margin, to service their debt. Thus risk premiums need to rise and risk assets will underperform risk-free rates. When the economic slowdown becomes evident, the market will price in and eventually get lower interest rates, boosting the return to fixed income.\nDon’t be too bearish, it’s rates\nThis line of thinking means that as Treasury yields rise investors should become more bearish on credit and more bullish on rates. Seems coincidentally contrarian but it makes sense on a forward looking basis. Global credit spreads are wider this year, but apart from in emerging markets, not by that much. Nor should they be given the positive macro backdrop and the strength of corporate balance sheets. Credit has actually outperformed in the last 3 months (globally and individually in the major investment grade markets of the US, Euro and sterling). The move of credit spreads significantly wider and rates lower is probably some way ahead of us and would need equities to start underperforming before it happened in earnest. However, it is on the horizon and in the short term it could be mimicked by the sensitivity of markets to ‘risk’ events. The Italian story gave a sense of this last week. The ratcheting up of US-China trade tensions might do it. Investors might already be looking at US yields above 3% and thinking “not bad for a safe-haven asset”, when equities are subject to abrupt changes in the fundamental outlook at the stroke of a presidential pen. The recently re-emphasised ‘national security’ complexion to the US-China issue should be a worry for investors.\nOctober ?\nCredit-default swap spreads for emerging markets, US high yield and European crossover credit have moved higher in recent sessions, suggesting that risk-off is revving up a little. October is one of those months when strange things happen in markets. Although I am not a believer in those kinds of weird market ‘memes’, enough investors may be such that volatility increases into year-end. It’s been far from a vintage year in fixed income and it seems very unlikely that adding further to high yield or credit exposure at this stage would make a huge positive difference. It’s clearly not the same picture in Europe compared to the US but the dynamics could still be the same if there is a risk-off episode. All else being equal, the sell-off in global bonds since the middle of August and the recent lurch higher in US Treasury yields in particular should make investors think about having a little bit more safe haven fixed income in their portfolios.\nWhere’s the glory?\nRationalising movements in the bond market is pretty tough but I feel far more comfortable trying to do that than trying to understand what is going on with Manchester United. I can’t believe that the players don’t care (although comparisons with previous generations would lead one to that view – Keano, Bruce, Gary Neville) or that they are generally of lower quality than that of the teams they have played recently (Wolves, West Ham, Valencia). Yet something is going badly wrong. Is it tactics? Is it player-management? Is it that this group just doesn’t have the natural chemistry to gel on the pitch? The fans are more frustrated now than at any other time since Sir Alex retired, and that is saying something, given the dire state of play during the Moyes and Van Gaal years. As an investor I would look right to the top and question the business model, because it is not delivering in its core function – winning games and trophies. I just hope something is done to prevent United replacing Liverpool as the big fallen great of English football.."}

{"text": "I recently finished my first professional screenwriting assignment, so let me answer the big question…\nHow Was the Assignment?\nTruthfully it was all the things I had hoped: challenging, fun, lots of typing, exciting, hard work, tough decisions, and at the end–a paycheck! It’s surprising how motivations change when other people are asking you to write and paying you to do it. Writing speculatively for so many years, I am simply used to setting my own deadlines and expectations. While under a contract, those personal goals drop away. The number one thing about being on assignment–somebody else is in charge.\nThat’s a good but also somewhat difficult situation. As I said, the motivation to complete the work is heightened. The motivation to write at your best is also heightened. I gave them my best, and hopefully they liked the product. The difficulties arrive in another form: writing under a contract means you are no longer writing solely for yourself.\nWriting for others is an interesting experience. On this particular assignment, I was writing in someone else’s creation. It was their characters and their voice–I was asked to play in their sandbox, which meant their rules. This was such a strange shift from years spent trying to uncover and develop my own writing. I had to set myself, my way of writing, aside and attempt to tell a story in a different way. Sometimes this felt freeing, other times extremely constrictive.\nWhile I was playing in their sandbox, I was still able to offer up my ideas. So while it felt like I wrote something that wasn’t mine, my way of writing still exists in that script. It took writing for someone else to see how much I have been able to develop my own style. As the script moves on, it will be changed, altered, interpreted and edited, but something in the final product will, hopefully, be the ideas I set forth.\nThat’s pretty amazing.\nThe other big lesson was more practical: in television, page count is everything. To clarify, in screenwriting the page count directly correlates to the length of the final product, usually it averages out to one script page playing about one minute long on-screen.\nSince I spend most of my time writing feature-length movies I hope to one day sell, writing a half-hour of television was a big shift in form. The page count for a half-hour of television is very limited because the final episode can only be a limited length of time. I had to tell the episode’s story in less than a third of the amount of space I’m used to working in.\nFortunately, this assignment’s story was smaller. Unfortunately, my first draft was ten pages too long. It was a huge challenge to cut out ten pages of such a short story. I did not turn in that long first draft, that would have been a disaster. I did cut it down–a lot, all the way to the bones. It hurt, but it was a great reminder to keep my stories lean. There’s no room for fluff in screenwriting.\nOverall, this assignment was fantastic. I gave it my best, and I would love to do it again.\nAnd if I’m lucky, maybe I’ll have that chance.\n-Zac"}

{"text": "I have prepared for and selected for varroaresistance for quite some years. Last year I learned how to test a colony for VSH, a simplified method described by John Harbo, easy for everyone to use.\nDWV-bees on the hardboard\nBefore that I just allowed a mite pressure in the colonies until they showed virus problems. That meant in practice appearance of wingless bees, DWV-bees, either on the comb, but still easier, on a hardboard in front of the entrance. (Bees with very little resistance are though not quick in throwing out of the hive DWV-bees, or other virus-troubled bees.) You have to visit the apiary every 10 days or so, but a quick look will tell you, plus a look in the hive after opening the inner cover to check how the colony develops. No need to check down in broodnest unless you register something seems to be wrong.\nBreeder candidates\nThose colonies that keep going and develop normally without any symptoms, during which time no treatment has been done, they are of course then candidates for being breeders, especially coming spring.\nFirst breeder\nIn autumn 2011 I had three colonies that had been big colonies (not newly started splits during that year) without treatment for the whole season with no signs of varroa or virus. The winter and coming spring would tell which one, if any, or all, would be able to be used as breeder in 2012. That happened to be only one, H157.\nGood to remember is that varroa first began to be a problem in 2008 with first bad winter in 2008-09 and 50% losses. Next winters no such losses.\nNext years 5 breeders with VSH as most important\nIn autumn 2012 I had 11 breeder candidates. In spring 2013 I had at least 5 I judged I could breed from, but that year focused most on VSH. I had just learned to know I could.\nI learned about VSH testing that spring in 2013 and did VSH-testing on three colonies.\nS120\nOne was a swarm that looked promising and nice. The mother colony was a feral colony in the wall of the dogtraining center, well within the area of my type of bees. The swarm showed 50 % VSH, half of the pupae with mites had mites without offspring. So even if this colony hadn’t been going for a whole season plus another winter without treatment I used it as a breeder in 2013. I named it S120.\nK25\nThe second I VSH-tested colony had been a very small the year before and not really a production colony then. But it was in an environment with big colonies which needed thymol so I decided to test it and it showed 40 % VSH (4 pupae with mites had no mite offspring of the 10 pupae with mites found). K25 it was named. But it was quite aggressive. I decided though that varroa resistance in this stage was more valuable.\nR137\nThe third VSH-tested colony was a walk away-split from a colony that hadn’t been treated for two years. It wintered with such a tiny cluster and still developed so promising and had such a good pedigree background I choose to VSH test it. Well, it wasn’t possible to get any VSH value as it hadn’t any mites in the brood. I was so amazed I decided to breed from it. And I named it R137, as I decided it was resistant, instead of H137. It must have had a good resistance behavior, but resistance is complicated…\nH109\nThe mother of R137, H109, of course also was used as a breeder due to its history, but she was old and layed 50 % drones in worker cells. Couldn’t really make any VSH test I decided. I grafted one time and killed her.\nM176\nThe fifth I used showed itself to be very old as well and fell off the comb and died just after taking her home in a small split. No VSH-test. That colony I had thought had a new queen that had past the test. But this colony with this the old queen, though good, had been treated every second year with 10 grams of thymol (very little actually relatively) during four years. M176.\nSome observations\nWhy do I tell you all these details? To come to the point for my situation, soon, be patient.\nLate in season 2013, S120 showed a couple of wingless bees and got 10 grams of thymol. K25 which really hadn’t had a real production season before it was choosen swarmed thee times in July in 2013! I have never experienced that before, ever. R137 has some peculiar traits. It supercedes its queen every year it seems. And some daughters do too. This year a few wingless bees were seen and it got 10 grams of thymol.\nI never do regular swarm controls in my colonies. Usually about 5 % of my colonies swarm. This year many daughters from two breeders from last year 2013 swarmed, from S120 and K25. And almost all daughters from these breeders needed thymol. Some of the daughters of K25 were very aggressive. Remember all queens are mated naturally in the apiaries. The apiaries together form an area with only my type of bees.\nBreeder candidates for 2015\nBUT maybe it was worth it using the breeders that disappointed me. I must have genetic diversity in my stock. I can’t make queens from just one line (H157).\nI have one daughter of S120 and one of K25 that are really outstanding in resistance, honeycrop (more than 150 kg (300 pounds)), very good temper and no swarming tendency. H109 has more than one good daughter. M176 as well. And then there are walk away splits with heritage from the first breeder chosen for resistance H157, which are breeder candidates for 2015. Maybe I will use as well the three breeder used this year, or two of them.\nBreeders used 2014\nThe autumn of 2013 I had 36 breeder candidates. I could have bred from more, but I choose to breed from three this year 2014, of which two are sisters, daughters of H157. These are H112 and H105. H157 had quite some daughters worthy of breeding from. The third breeder this year was L242. After using these three, in the middle of July I made the VSH test on them. In all three the infestation rate in the brood was about 5 %. H112 had a VSH value of 80 %. H105 – 67 % and L242 had 33 %. No treatment was needed for this year either for H112 and H105. L242 got 10 gram thymol late in season. L242 came from a quite isolated apiary with small reinvasion and was moved to my home apiary and probably got more reinvasion here. But all three are wintered very strong.\nMaybe I will use H112 and H105 in 2015 as well, we’ll see.\nSelection parameters\nNow to my point. It seems under my conditions it’s better to focus in first hand on one whole season as big colonies during which no treatment should have been needed (including winter and coming spring), to select breeders. BUT then use VSH testing to tell you which one probably are the best among them, and get confirmation of their status. Of course the breeders must be good in other respects, good honeycrop, good temper and low swarming tendency.\nVSH is a good tool for selecting for Varroa resistance, especially when there are difficulties using anything else, but also as a complement when other methods are used. I’m glad I can make VSH tests, in addition to the DWV-test I use.\n8 thoughts on “My selection parameters”\nMy first statement to your recent blog is, that both – your early activities to anchor varroa resistance as a breeding criteria and moreover your openess to share your experiences in that field with the community – derserves respect and recognition.I still think that too less professional bee breeders taking care of varroa or disease resistance in their breeding programm.\nI learned that your look at both – overall stock performance in the first year and then looking at VSH factor – to choose your breeders.\nNow coming to my points: You certainly have tackled this topic already in former years but I’m not aware of this, so my question is: why hit varroa your hardly in 2008 first and not earlier? You was active with your Elgon bee many years before. Why starts the story in 2008? Is the virus load becoming more serious and a new era starts in 2008?\nMy second question focuses on selection stringency. You described that you have a limit, at which you start anti varroa treatment, which not consider very strong selection pressure. And you pointed out the motivation of this was a loss of 50% of your hives in 2008 which was dramatic, from a business point of view, which is understandable.\nOn the other hand, if you put a strong selection pressure on hives you get rid of non survivors and focus on suitable candidates. I think Juhani Lunden is doing that consequently….\nAs bees and insects are very elastic creatures, losses could be compensated quickly and 50% or in good years even 25% survivors could make up to 100% in the end of the year easily. Of course, you need enough surviving candidates to allow for gross selection. My question is, in order to balance the previous point with business aspects, have you ever considered and tried to work with survivor apiaries? That means to leave a part of your colonies without treatment at all? The idea behind is, that a big selection pressure will not alter the genetic, but maybe the epigenetic? Is this a wrong thinking and what are your pros and cons on this topic?\nThanks for your comment Rüdiger\nWhy varroa hit 2008 and not earlier? It was discovered in 2007 in my home apiary probably arrived some years earlier. Quite normal scenario. Though my activities for resistant bees started already in 1989 with going to Kenya for breeding material and cooperating with beekeepers that had the mite. Varroa arrived to Sweden (the island Gotland in the Baltic in 1987).\nYou say wingless bees do not indicate severe varroa problems. On the contrary. Aprofessor said recently in an interview to media that when a bee colony show wingless bees it doesn’t take long before it is dead. That’s of course wrong. But it’s occurring enough often to get even a professor to make such a conclusion. But it’s more to this question. It’s not varroa that kills the colony, it’s viruses. But that’s another article.\nWhy I didn’t let more bees die like Juhani? I don’t have the money. I estimate I have lost income in the range of 50.000 USD anyway due to my selection criteria. And with 90 % losses my stock would have gone and the dominance of my bees in the area, small cell drones and the selection I hade done (or the resistance the bees had anyway). There was an Elgon apiary established in a varroa area in 1995 on large cells without any treatment. It’s still going. How come? In first place no reinvasion. Another reason, due to epigentics that takes place during about the first 5 years, the true genetic (DNA-code resource) capacity is not going to show up in the first years, but it takes another article to clearify that.\nYes. I have considered working with survivor apiaries. Now after the first 5 years with varroa causing problems and thus epigenetic and genetic adaption during difficult circumstances (high density of hives though Elgons causing much reinvasion) maybe is the time come. It seems after 5 years with varroa the bees have adapted more or less into their genetic capacity, dependant also to managment, treatement chemicals, food, agricultural chemicals, etc. After 5 years average varroa population decreases. But now almost no virgin areas for varroa are left to experience this. It took 5 years about for resistance to take place in South America, and also in South Africa, for Apis mellifera (not the original host of the mite).\nAfter reading your comment and my comment from yesterday evening, I think I was a bit unprecise and hasty yesterday evening with the selection stringency topic. Hence to clarify that, I not intended to give the impression that strong selection in terms of varroa resistance is always good, nor that I prefer the way nature or Juhani go and that colonies that can’t survive without varroa treatment have to die.\nAs you pointed out as well you have to control the number of suriving stocks in order to have a sufficient number of stocks, that maintain genetic variety needed. Hence, therefore I like the term – gross selection – as it describes the above statements with one (2) word(s).\nSecondly, I use the criteria of 3-5 wingless bees to start anti varroa actions, as well. This seems to be a good working compromise and has to be practical proven. If one goes beyond that, the trigger for bees to act against varroa will becomes bigger, but the risk of loosing the stock as well.\nReporting from my own evidence, the bee hives that I have, start to express VSH, which is visible by the opened cells with larvae inside, after the mite load becomes obvious. Furthermore, it seems to me that with proceeding time and constant mite load the VSH becomes more frequent. But maybe not that frequent to get rid of all mites easily. Consequently my conclusion was, that these bees still oversee enough infected cells, that allow the mites to keep their number or even to increase their population. Of course I have reinvasion and it’s difficult to differentiate in between.\nOn the other hand I noticed on my LC bees, that one colony that had >7 wingless bees (I have to apologize I don’t visited that apiary often enough) displayed a high frequency of VSH. Of course still not enough to fight against varroa efficiently and probably they oversee enough infected cells as well. But at least I considered that high mite pressure can result in higher expressed anti mite activities as VSH for instance.\nMoreover, others report that they established a kind of isolated “hospital” apiary, which are covered with the affected hives and very often with combined hives to allow for a high number bees/hive. Interestingly, here some stocks survive and these show good anti mite behaviour, by apparently putting this behaviour, which was genetically present before, on a higher importance level. Or with other words epigenetic regulation takes places.\nHence the question is, how helpful is this approach and if so how to manage efficiently. One approach in this direction is to use feral bees, which underwent natural selection totally, what you already do.\nBut this is probably another article as you have stated already.\nBTW, I like your comparison with the 5 years and South Africa and South America. I will think about this and this topic is probably another good article…:-)\nInteresting comments. A question and a few comments.\nYou see VSH. Have you actually in these cases you mention dragged out pupae and put pupae with mites that have offspring in one heap and pupae with mites without offspring in another heap. When he latter heap is bigger that’s showing good VSH. I get the impression you just see cleaning out pupae, most probably with mites. You see the bees cleaning out pupae. That’s not necessarily showing good VSH, but identification of capped brood with mites followed by cleaning out. Of course also mostly a good reaction by the bees. WIth VSH the bees ignore the pupae with mites where the mites don’t have offspring. With enough high mite load for the bees to react on the mite load, can be different with different bees, all bees sooner or later start cleaning out infested brood cells, with good or less good success and result. Varroa susceptible bees start too late reacting on the mite load…\nI have combined varroa and virus affected colonies, but it has always resulted finally that the combined colony has died anyway.\nFeral bees certainly are good bees to use. But maybe are not resistant enough in a tougher situation with high density of colonies, no break of the brood production the yearly swarming gives and eventual other negative effects in the hands of a beekeeper. But can be a very good source of bees for further breeding.\nHello Erik,\nthanks for your fast response.\nYou are correct to point on a low OVR (ovipositioning ratio – quotient of number of infected cells with ovipositioning mites and number of infected cells with non ovipositioning mites) as a VSH feature as well, to distinguish between other hygienic behaviour. To give you the honest answer, I haven’t measured.\nI simply anticipated, when the mothers have considerable amount of VSH and some of the drones as well, there must be some VSH in the daughter queens, but still not expressed enough???….\nBut I could measure the OVR at least. The number should be below 3 if I remember correctly.\nHello Rüdiger\nThat’s what John Harbo called VSH (nothing else), and that’s why I call it VSH.\nIf there is a threshold concerning the number of mites in the colony when it starts to show this trait I don’t know. It seems it’s not investigated. But there are indications the strength of VSH, or what I call VSH index may differ during the season. But that can have a number of reasons. I tend to lean to the explanation which can be described through a scenario where a colony have got a lot of mites through reinfestation, for example robbed a crashing colony. Immediately bees start to clean out mites with offspring, the VSH index is low. Mites survive the cleaning out of pupae and enter new larvae, get cleaned out again, enter new larvae. But now the mites have layed eggs so many times they have lost the ability to lay eggs and arre ignored by the bees. Those pupa are not cleaned out (but may still induce virus problem as the mite may be well filled with virus and the virus may well have multiplied in the mite. Now the VSH index will be higher.\nConcerning the number of wingless bees on the hardboard as a criteria for deciding when to treat with for example thymol. 3-5 may be a good number when you have somewhat resistance in your stock and is prepared to loose some colonies and get some colonies that will not give any honey next season.\nIf you have bees with very little resistance for varroa maybe already just one wingless be is better if you are not prepared to loose quite a number of colonies. If the colony has very little of resistance – when a wingless bee appears on the hardboard there are higher number of them inside the colony walking around spreading virus, than in a colony with better resistance. In the latter case the bees have a higher tendency treating virus affected bees as trash and throw them out of the colony.\nAlso when your stock is getting quite good in resistance it may be a good economic reason to accept just one wingless bee before treating as you have more good breeder candidates anyway, more colonies not needing treatment. And you will lower the mite pressure still more and you will lower the losses and increase the crop still more – and soon enough anyway you will be able to stop treating altogether.\nHello Erik,\nit’s better to stick to Harbo’s definition, otherwise confusion becomes to high….\nYour explanation why the OVR is becoming higher for resistant colonies is a good and plausible one. My thinking was that there is someting (chemical?) within the stock what makes the mites unfertile. Although this scenario has been described by Rinderer et al who noticed that combs used by Primorski bees display a higher infertility of mites compared to combas of Italian bees, your explanation sounds more plasubile.\nIn principle Harris described 3 ways for resistance selection – see. But I prefer the first one to measure the infertility as well. In principle you can combine the first with the third, if you found 0-3 old capped cells and 7-10 days old capped cells in sufficient numbers on the same comb. This is not entirely scientific, because it considers that mite load was constant of the past 10 days or so, but gives you a feeling about the hygienic behaviour in general. But a good pragmmatic approach.\nI will do that assay tomorrow and let you know what I found….\nAnd thanks again for your patience to answer my questions….-:)\nWell, I find it a good discussion that could be of interest for more than just the two of us.\nIt wouldn’t surprise me if there are more than one parameter working here. Chemicals are forming the life of insects, so it’s well possible different beestocks put different chemicals in their wax, that have impact on different things, for example resistance to pests. Another reason why to avoid residues in the wax from different sources, and renew the combs regularly. I remember when we were in Kenya 1989 and I had brought small pieces of Swedish wax foundation for starters in the small Apidea combs for the apideas in which we held the queens we got hold of. The native bees just didn’t touch it. (Of course large cell imprints that could also have influenced.) I had to cut pieces of combs from the native colony and fit with rubberband. Then the bees worked them.\nThe extension.org article is almost old by now and I find the VSH selection harder by their method than by Harbo’s. That’s why I use this two-step method I described in the post. it’s least work for me with still acceptable economic outcome and quite fast progress in resistance keeping the genetic diversity."}

{"text": "Fat has a bad reputation in our modern culture. And that is putting it mildly. Its consumption is blamed for everything from heart disease and strokes to earthquakes. Alright, I made the last part up, but fat certainly gets a very bad rap.\nIs the bad rap deserved? Absolutely not.\nHere is a quick (and I emphasize quick) summary of the basics of fat. All fats and oils consist of a mixture of three categories of fat. First, there are saturated fats, which predominate in animals and in some tropical plants like coconuts and which are solid at room temperature. Second, there are monounsaturated fats, which are common in both plants and animals and which are liquid at room temperature but turn solid in the refrigerator. Olive oil consists primarily of monounsaturated fat. Finally, there are polyunsaturated fats, which predominate in all vegetables and which are liquid even in the refrigerator.\nAll fats provide health benefits. They provide a concentrated source of energy. They slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. They supply valuable vitamins. They allow for the absorption through the intestinal wall of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Without fats, such vitamins would not be absorbed and would be wasted. Finally, they provide cholesterol, an extremely valuable chemical that is necessary for the proper functioning of the brain and for the repair of damaged tissue.\nConventional health wisdom states that saturated fat clogs arteries. As a result, it claims, saturated fat is always unhealthy, and one should instead stick to mono- and polyunsaturated fats.\nYou can thank the soy and corn industries for such wisdom, which they promote in an effort to increase the consumption of the vegetable oils that flow from their overly abundant, government-subsidized products. These industries are powerful enough to influence scientific studies on the subject of fat. And as one would expect when the underlying science is governed by profits, such wisdom is wrong.\nThe food traditions provided by past cultures throughout history are a much more reliable guide to the comparative health benefits of saturated v. polyunsaturated fats. Such traditions tell us, and independent science confirms, that saturated fats are extremely healthy.\nThere is one primary reason for the health difference between saturated and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats, and to a lesser extent mono-unsaturated fats, are chemically stable. Their chemical structure does not easily change, even with cooking and the passage of time. Such stability allows them to resist the process of “oxidation” which turns fats rancid.\nPolyunsaturated fat, by contrast, is unstable. Its chemical structure easily changes with cooking and the passage of time. Such instability causes it to be easily “oxidized”, which turns it rancid. Such oxidation is common during the industrial process of extracting oils from vegetables, which process involves extremely high amounts of heat and pressure. Upon being consumed, the droplets of such rancid oils act like little grenades inside the body, often causing physical damage to the interior walls of blood vessels. This damage causes the body to attempt to repair the damage with cholesterol, however, when the cholesterol is rancid as in polyunsaturated oil, such repair process within a badly damaged vessel can cause the blockage of the artery. When such blockage occurs near the heart or in the brain, the blockage can cause a heart-attack or stroke.\nIn other words, it is polyunsaturated oils like vegetable oil, not saturated fat, that causes heart disease. Let me say that again. VEGETABLE OIL, NOT SATURATED FAT, CAUSES HEART DISEASE.\nOnly saturated fat provides all the health benefits of fat without increasing the danger of heart disease. One should strive to eat ample amounts of whole foods that contain all of its naturally occurring fats. So eat with relish, in ample amounts, and with a clear conscience the fats that are on steak and bacon, the skin on chicken and fish, and the yolks in eggs.\nSaturated fats formed an essential part of the whole foods on which traditional peoples thrived, and on which you can too.\n© 2019, City Connect News.

{"text": "On February 17, 2014, our 29-year-old daughter died; in this blog, we hope to pay tribute to her. We weren’t sure exactly how we were going to provide business advice to you and, at the same time, honor Jae, but then it dawned on us.\nJust like you, there were things in Jae’s life that she knew were out of her control. Despite those limitations, she managed to rise above her circumstances and, through her loving care, she positively impacted hundreds of children and parents all over the world. We continue to receive notes from so many people, telling us how much Jae meant to their families. One mother made the comment that her teenage children don’t know life without Jae. A sobbing young man told us he didn’t know Jae, but he had come to the funeral representing his deceased father, who had worked with Jae in the church nursery and always spoke fondly of her.\nIn many ways, Jae was like you (a business owner or an executive running a business). Owning and/or running a business is a lot more difficult than most people think. (See our June 4, 2012, post) If you own a business, your family’s wealth is at risk every day. Many of you operate in a world filled with giants, where your customers are large multinationals who often treat you unfairly and/or continually ask for price concessions. Your suppliers, too, are giants, and they dictate pricing. It seems like the federal, state and local governments continuously pass laws or regulations that increase your costs.\nTo stay in business, you — like our daughter — need to rise above your circumstances. For Jae, the experience of caring for hundreds of children over the years was worth it — and your perseverance in your endeavors is worth it, too. Think about it this way: How many families does your company support? You provide great training and opportunities for advancement. Your team members are mostly good citizens in their communities who pay local, state, and federal taxes. Many of them serve on their local PTA or volunteer their time on their church’s boards and committees.\nYes, like Jae, you make a huge impact on this world. And, like Jae, you may never get any special recognition for the efforts you put forth. But what you do is important, so keep it up. We’re cheering for you."}

{"text": "Social DigiMeld launches Internet video streaming technology September 12, 2008! DigiMeld has launched a new technology aimed at making high-definition videos play more smoothly over the web. The New York-based company has also raised $2 million in a first round of funding from angel investors. The company tested its “grid streaming” technology with NASA’s TV network. DigiMeld has already completed a series of live tests with NASA that include the simultaneous broadcast of a space shuttle launch. The company reports there was no down time and it had more than 100,000 HD concurrent video streams. That is, more than 100,000 people watched the launch at the same time on the web. The patent-pending technology was developed by Alex Mashinsky, founder of the Arbinet-theexchange. It uses intelligent distribution of content among a network of Internet video viewers. This so-called “peer-to-peer” technology is being pursued by companies such as Andolis. DigiMeld competes with start-ups such as Andolis and BitGravity. It plans to market its solution to established content-delivery networks such as Akamai, which sets up a series of servers around the Internet to deliver video to users. There is a contrast between DigiMeld’s technology and others. While some companies use a group of peers to distribute video in the fashion of a tree — with each user a separate branch — DigiMeld uses a structure that resembles a grid. If you lose branches, your video quality can suffer as a result. But in a grid, there is more redundancy and a single user isn’t as important. Unlike traditional CDNs or multicast network solutions, DigiMeld allows each viewer in the DigiMeld grid streaming network to simultaneously retrieve, view, and share streaming video data with other viewers, inside an encrypted network. While file-sharing firms such as BitTorrent store an entire video file on a viewer’s hard drive, DigiMeld stores only a portion of the streamed content on the client. This small portion is continuously overwritten by newly-arriving video data. That makes the network more efficient in terms of use of bandwidth and it improves the ability to protect the content from piracy. This kind of technology is going to become more important as people share more video online — and network operators such as Comcast struggle with the amount of video being shared. Comcast recently decided to put limits on the people who download the most video on its cable-modem network. The company is also developing a portal for narrowcast video publishers to test its network. It is creating a personalized video player that can generate a user-controlled playlist for self-publishing video channels, gather stats, or create geographically targeted broadcasts. DigiMeld sends its traffic via the best-performing Internet service provider at any given time. Mashinsky founded the company 2.5 years ago. VentureBeat’s VB Insight team is studying email marketing tools. Chime in here, and we’ll share the results."}

After that, increase the heat to gas mark 7, 425ºF (220ºC) and bake for a further 15-20 minutes until the buns are crisp, light and a rich golden colour. Pierce the side of each one to let out the steam, then return them to the oven for a couple of minutes to crisp up, then cool them on a wire rack.\nTo make the chocolate sauce, melt the chocolate, together with 4 fl oz (120 ml) water, in a heatproof basin fitted over a saucepan of simmering water (being careful that the base of the bowl does not touch the water), stirring until you have a smooth sauce. Just before serving, split the choux buns in half, fill each one with a generous teaspoonful of whipped cream, then join the halves together again. Spoon or pour the melted chocolate over them and serve immediately.\nNote: Don't be tempted to put the cream in the profiteroles too far in advance because this tends to make them soggy."}

He's in the midst of filming episodes of his series \"Underemployed,\" which debuts on MTV in the fall, and readying his Broadway debut, the play \"Grace,\" to star Paul Rudd, Ed Asner and Mr. Wright's cohort at Chicago's A Red Orchid Theatre, Michael Shannon.\nHere in Pittsburgh, No Name Players has launched a production of Mr. Wright's \"Orange Flower Water,\" a play about infidelity and its effects on two families, running through July 14. The Chicago Sun-Times named the Steppenwolf company's production its top play of 2003 and it was well-received off-Broadway in 2005.\nWhen Mr. Wright heard that another Red Orchid colleague, Pittsburgher Steven Wilson, was directing for No Name, he volunteered as a consultant. Of particular concern, the ending of the play has been troublesome in some productions, he said.\n\"Something I failed to make clear in the writing or maybe it's clear to me and I didn't understand how many people could get it wrong ... several times when I've seen it reviewed, the play is accused of devolving in the end into something syrupy, as if the awfulness of what has come before has been somehow covered over, and that was never my intention. It's the one piece of work I've done where I've found I always have to explain myself to people who produce it.\"\nMr. Wright's Broadway debut, \"Grace,\" is a seriocomic play about a religious couple hoping to open a biblical-themed motel chain in Florida. The play earned Mr. Wright the 2009 Horton Foote Excellence in American Playwriting Award from Baylor University.\nThe Broadway debut for the writer, who has an Emmy nomination for an episode of \"Six Feet Under\" and is the creator of the ABC series \"Dirty Sexy Money,\" is \"immensely exciting, also immensely daunting.\"\n\"There is this iceberg out there in the water called The New York Times, and it's always scary to launch a ship out into the ocean knowing that iceberg is out there,\" Mr. Wright said. \"So I do want to make sure I do my homework. If I'm going to get accused of having fallen short in any respect, I'd like to have it be a surprise, not something about which I can say, 'I should have done this or that.' Despite the occasional tonal missteps in the critical discourse of the paper, they are quite often right, and it makes me want to do a good job.\"\nMr. Wright's \"The Pavilion\" was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and the American Theatre Critics' Association Best New Play Award, and he also has had success creating and writing for television.\nAs creator of \"Underemployed,\" he is in Chicago to oversee the 12-episode shoot for the upcoming MTV series about recent college graduates. Other TV credits as executive producer and writer include episodes of \"Lost,\" \"Brothers & Sisters\" and \"United States of Tara.\"\nJuggling different projects has been a way of life, he said. He sketched out a schedule that starts at 4:30 a.m. and allots time for \"fresh creative work,\" business, producing, editing and rewriting.\n\"Then at night, I can let things settle inside me and I know that in the morning I'll have ideas about how to approach it. I can compartmentalize that way.\"\nAnd sleep?\n\"I sleep from about 11:30 to 4:30 or 12 to 5. But you know, I'm going to be dead one day.

{"text": "At 6 feet 4 inches and 240 pounds, Juneau-Douglas senior power forward De’Andre “Jazz” King provides a big body down low for the Crimson Bears.\nKing, a Thunder Mountain High School transfer, is averaging double figures in points per game to go with nearly eight rebounds per contest and is coming off an MVP performance in last week’s Capital City Classic. He said he’s had valuable experiences at both TMHS and JDHS but is now focused on bringing home a title for the Bears.\nWhen King isn’t powering his way in the paint for JDHS he enjoys having a clipboard in hand on the sideline.\nDo you play any other sports besides basketball?\n“No. I played soccer and baseball when I was younger, but I thought I did better in basketball so I decided to stick with that.”\nTalk about some of the differences between playing at Thunder Mountain compared to JDHS?\n“Playing at Thunder Mountain was a good experience. Coach (John) Blasco knew what he was doing, and we had a bond where he was a coach and a buddy at the same time. He knew when to have fun and when to be serious. And then coming back here, it’s more of “team basketball,” which I like more.”\nWhat caused you to transfer to TMHS after your freshman year?\n“Going to Thunder Mountain, I just wanted to get more playing time because last year (JDHS) had all the big guys. They had (Eric) Sele, (Paul) Tupou, Lawrence (Fenumiai) and Evan (Gross).”\nAnd why back to JDHS this year?\n“(TMHS) said I didn’t have the right classes because I was in the wrong cycle. They do two years of World Literature and World History and two years of American Literature and American History. It was completely academic.”\nWhat do you like to do in your free time when you’re not playing basketball?\n“I coach. I coach basketball at Floyd Dryden. I went to Floyd Dryden and that’s where I started playing basketball. Last year I was the C-team coach, and then they let me come back this year and I was the B-team coach. It was fun. Then we had the Fast Break Tournament, and we won that. That was pretty cool because my seventh-grade year we didn’t win it, and now I’m coaching seventh graders and they won it.\n“It gives me a coaching perspective. I know what it’s like to be a player, but as a coach, I see where little mistakes are and I try to correct them. I also like to hang out with my friends and play video games.”\nWhat are your plans for next year?\n“I’d like to play basketball at the next level. My dad and I are looking at the Northwestern Conference for collegiate athletics. (I will) Start off at the community college level and then hopefully work my way up to Division I or Division II. My dad’s been helping me out a lot. He found a website to help me get recruited, and we’ve talked to recruiters and found out what steps I need to take in order to play at the next level. I’ve been looking at Southwestern Oregon Community College but there’s a lot of schools on the website that I’ve been looking at.”\nAny idea what you might want to study in college?\n“Hopefully to be like a P.E. teacher, because athletics are just fun. I’d like to help kids be better at sports that I wasn’t ever really good at.”\nWhat are your expectations for this year’s team?\n“This year’s team is probably the best team I’ve played with since maybe my Hooptime team in eighth grade. My expectations are to improve every game, get past the first round of the state tournament and win the championship.”\nJuneau Empire © 2015. All Rights Reserved.

This software allows users of DNLA connected Samsung devices share their media with out the require of the internet or any other connecting gadget. Because it can link to the internet, this TV can stream live movies and lookup for videos through the various on-line video services companies. It is totally 2d suitable and can even make Skype phone calls. It has a CMR score of 240 meaning that even fast shifting pictures are sent extremely obviously and very sharp. This TV can also do multi tasking features which lets customers search the internet, chat or deliver messages on-line while watching their favorite TV exhibits.\nThe bundle packages that we’re going to discuss about are cable internet and digital telephone. When it arrives to cable internet, it refers to an internet link with a optimum speed of 15 mbps. It means we can obtain and browse the internet in a high-speed. On the other hand, a digital telephone is utilized to call someone with no limitations even if he or she is from an additional state or country. As you combine cable tv, internet and telephone, it will be an appealing package for all customers and subscribers. This is where you experience the genuine beauty of having an chance with cable television companies. It is not only for quality, but it gives you a lot of fun and entertainment like no other.\nThe awesome thing about this industry is that no one has determined “the very best way” to evaluate activity on-line. The debate more than what to measure and how to measure it is ongoing. The emergence of Google TV and competitors will maintain great web analysts on their toes and include a new voice to the discussion.\nFinally, believe about how convenient it will be for you to stream directly to your TV. For instance, if you’re planning to stream from your laptop to your TV, this will mean that any time you want to view some thing on Internet TV, you can’t use your laptop computer. A person who usually does several issues at once and desires to chat with friends online whilst they view TV would not get the most advantage from this.\nIt’s not truly that fantastic, is it? But with Internet TV, right here’s the offer. Initial, you don’t have to pay any month-to-month subscription charge. No recurring costs, ever! With just a 1-time and small set up fee, you can appreciate stations for months and months and years, and you would by no means have to spend any membership expenses again. Just imagine how a lot that can save you in the lengthy operate?\nOne of the most appealing goods that we have noticed in the globe these days is no other than the internet electronic TV. I am going to talk about about the chance of hidden or additional charges in utilizing their service. Internet TV services can be advertised in the public to offer some real attraction. In general, most of the ads telling everybody. But a great factor for consumers is the competitors. The competitors would lead to competitors in between service providers and try to gain market share. So the prices are the initial to fall. But what about the hidden costs of this service? Reputable businesses have no concealed service costs.\nA number of established top boxes are becoming popular for video clip viewing on the television. Two of the more inexpensive boxes are some thing many ought to appear into. These are the Western Electronic WD TV Reside Plus and the very popular Apple TV.\nThe Internet is fantastic for that. So why not harness the power of the Internet TV to make TV free for everybody. If you are concerned about your programming being stolen then create a website with high quality streams monetized by marketing. Its easy and can certainly be done. So what is the problem? Nicely, conservatism for 1 thing.\nThere are quite a couple of softwares on the Internet that permit you access to use Satellite Nba중계 technologies. If you want to verify out the 1 I recommend to my friends click on on the link in the writer box beneath.\nPaying cable subscription charge every month robs a considerable quantity from your family members budget (add and see how much you invest in a year). If you have any pay-for each-see channels, the sum will develop even quicker. When you watch reside TV on the Internet TV, all the channels come completely free, so you can relax and stop thinking about that bill in your e-mail box.\nPrice comparison of the very best satellite TV softwares display that the price ranges from $50-$70. This is usually a 1 time payment that will entitle you to a lifetime membership and free yearly updates.\nFirst, TVs are only 1 of the numerous methods that people will use to accessibility the Internet. And they will most likely not be the main means of accessibility. It is safe to assume that a go to from a TV will probably be accompanied by an additional go to by the same individual using some other device. It’s close to enough impossible to evaluate issues like “unique guests”, “new guests”, “time because final go to”, and so on., if the average customer uses several devices to accessibility the Internet on a normal foundation. So all of our measurements will need to concentrate much more and more on visits, as opposed to guests."}

{"text": "(Reference)\nJohn F WILSON\nKey Words: microelectronics, Ferranti, technology transfer, government policy\nThe Leading European player: Ferranti\nAs one of Britain's most innovative electronics firms, its engineers' attendance at the first Bell Lab's semiconductor symposium in 1952 was funded by CVD, the Ministry of Supply's agency responsible for stimulating research into electronic components. Ferranti were also at that time involved in the development of what would eventually become Britain' s most successful guided missile of that era, Bloodhound, a project initiated by the Ministry of Supply. This prompted CVD to fund the acquisition of a licence from Bell Lab's, at a cost of £9,000, as well as the formation in 1953 of a semiconductor development team, providing Ferranti with a significant fillip. Although the team overspent on the budget allocated, by 1955 the Ferranti team had developed Europe's first silicon diode, establishing a prominent position in the industry at an early stage.The development of this silicon diode provides a fascinating insight into the technology transfer process in action, because apart from securing a licence from Bell Lab's Ferranti also sent several of its semiconductor development team to work at the US pioneer's facilities. It is also important to note that at an early stage the Ferranti had chosen to use silicon, rather than the material that almost all the early semiconductors used, germanium. The reasons behind this move were linked to the perceived need to establish a competitive niche in a market that US firms already dominated. At the same time, as silicon was more reliable and worked at temperatures of up to 150oC, twice that of germanium, the resulting devices would be more suitable to the exacting requirements of a guided weapon. On the other hand, as semiconductor engineers were more accustomed at that time to working with germanium, the Ferranti team was faced with a considerable learning curve. It was consequently necessary to work closely with Bell Lab's engineers in perfecting the crystal-drawing process. Bell Lab's even sent its leading authority on silicon to the Ferranti laboratory, indicating how the first-mover and imitator worked intimately in producing a solution. Returning to an earlier point, though, one should also stress how this support focused on fundamental research, rather than product development, indicating how Britain's leading semiconductor firm was committed to a strategy of technological leadership that would become increasingly difficult to sustain.\nThe difficulties associated with this strategy can be amply illustrated by looking at how in the 1960s Ferranti was obliged to commit ever-larger resources to a division that was commercially unsuccessful. By 1961, Ferranti had produced its own IC, marketed as Micronor I. This programme had been funded by the Royal Navy, given its need to miniaturise on-board computing. It also provided the firm's automation systems department with the opportunity to build on this success by developing Micronor II, a DTL IC that was much faster and more reliable than anything being produced in Europe at that time. While as we shall see later Micronor II was later superseded by Texas Instruments' much cheaper and faster 54/74 TTL IC, it again demonstrated the firm's ability to innovate in a technology that was advancing rapidly. As Golding notes: 'Measured by its ability to develop new products based on external innovations, Ferranti must surely rank as the foremost British semiconductor company. On a number of occasions . Ferranti has demonstrated a rapid and flexible response to new technology resulting in a short lead time to commercial production'.[7]\nLeaping forward to the late-1960s, one must also consider the Advanced Computer Techniques Project (ACTP) launched by the Ministry of Technology (MinTech) in 1966. Although this was principally aimed at boosting the technical proficiency of ICT,[8] IC firms were able to apply for funds. However, these funds were only provided in the form of loans, rather than grants. Furthermore, as these loans had to be repaid from a levy on sales, rather than on profits, it was apparent that the government was hardly acting as a partner in this venture. At the same time, Dr. Shepherd was grateful for this support, because up to 1970 Ferranti received almost £ 1.4 million, or 37% of Gem Mill's negative cash-flow. It is also important to stress that these funds were used in the successful development of a production process, collector diffusion isolation (CDI), that not even the US giants like Fairchild had been able to master. Even though Fairchild had patented the CDI process, Ferranti were the world's first microelectronics producer to apply this highly sophisticated technology to the efficient manufacture of VLSI IC's. This reflected yet again the firm's ability to compete technologically with the best microelectronics talent. It was also a peculiar form of technology transfer, because while Ferranti paid Fairchild £ 150,000 for the use of its CDI patents, the licensee utilised the technology much more effectively than the licensor.\nJust as work on the CDI process was nearing completion, however, there was a change of government, from interventionist Labour to free-market Conservative. This new government was so keen to reduce the role of the state in business matters that initiatives and schemes like MinTech and ACTP were closed down almost immediately. Of course, this ignored what was happening in virtually every other developed and developing economy, where the state performed vital roles in stimulating the development of new technologies. One need only read what we have said earlier about the support for microelectronics provided by NASA and the USAF, not to mention how the Japanese government funded and nurtured indigenous efforts in this sector. At Ferranti, deprived of ACTP funding, yet with losses mounting on IC sales and the chairman continuing to insist that his firm would always remain in this vital sector, it was clear that a radical solution was required. Dr. Shepherd was especially aware that Ferranti would never be able to compete in price with his US rivals in the market for standard IC's, even if his team was capable of applying highly advanced technologies like CDI. At the same time, by utilising CDI for the manufacture of non-standard IC's, there was a possible niche to be exploited in serving equipment manufacturers that required custom-designed components. It was this realisation that spawned the birth of the ULA (uncommitted logic array), a customised bipolar IC capable of being adapted to each individual customer's requirements. Out of the adversity created by a sudden change in governmental attitudes, Ferranti had produced a remarkable innovation that over the following decade was to become a great commercial success.\nWhile Sciberras has argued that in leaving the mass IC market Ferranti had adopted a highly defensive strategy,[9] in the circumstances it is difficult to see how the firm could have competed head-on against the likes of Texas Instruments. As we saw earlier, even Britain's largest electrical-electronics firm, GEC, was withdrawing from microelectronics, given the chief executive's rational aversion to risking money on technologies that were already dominated by rival suppliers. While Ferranti could compete technologically with the US firms, acquiring their licences and introducing a constant stream of innovative products, in commercial terms it was incapable of producing at the same price or marketing goods as aggressively. With Ferranti and GEC consigned to relatively minor roles in microelectronics, it is consequently no surprise to read that by 1977 85% of all UK semiconductor sales emanated from multinational subsidiaries.[10] In the Ferranti case, it was a rational response to the hiatus on government support that prompted the highly realistic strategy of searching for a niche market that could be exploited by the successful application of US technology. With losses mounting throughout the late-1960s and early-1970s, other than dispose of the factory there was very little else that management could have done.\nHaving stressed the role played by government policy in fashioning the Ferranti ULA strategy, it is also important to report that in 1973, as part of a much broader U-turn prompted by rising unemployment, the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) was provided with funds to reintroduce interventionist policies. With specific reference to the industry covered in this paper, in 1973 the DTI launched the Micro-Electronics Support Scheme (MESS). Apart from bolstering the late-1960s ACTP scheme, another crucial dimension of MESS was the repayment schedule: all loan repayments were based on the profits generated by supported firms, making the state a partner in the relationship, rather than a banker. MESS was also more generous than previous schemes, in that firms were able to claim 50% of all R&D costs, boosting significantly the range and depth of work that firms like Ferranti could undertake. This proved decisive, because Ferranti were able to secure sufficient support from MESS to perfect the CDI process even further and radically improve the reliability of production. While one can only hazard a guess at whether Ferranti would have clung to the standardised IC market had MESS been introduced in 1973, it is clear that after 1973 the DTI scheme ensured that the ULA strategy would eventually become a great commercial success."}

After viewing this \"iPod Touch\" forum, for countless amount of times, im pretty close to buying the iPT. I tried it yesterday at my local Apple store but couldn't spend too much time on it because of the amount of people just waiting to try one (or to check our their facebook accounts...). So anyway, i'm an avid Google user and i'd like to know how well some of their products run on iPT version of Safari. Has anyone tried Docs and Spreadsheets? Some say it works, some say it doesn't (by reading on the internet). How does the calender work? Or the notebook feature? I know some of you at this point are saying, well, Jailbreak is out, so most of your questions are answered. Yeah, you're right but i'd like to look at both angles. The hacked version and the legit version. Just to get a clear mind. Their is one thing that i have trouble finding out. How's the TV out quality? I know it's nothing close to HD but for what it is, is it fine? Is it like cable TV quality that we've had for a decade now? What i mean is, is it passable? So, thats it, hopefully some of you can help me out, so that i can finally pull the trigger. Thanks for your patience guys!"}
{"text": "Starring: Michael Palin, Harry H. Corbett, John Le Mesurier, Max Wall, Bernard Bresslaw\nDirected By: Terry Gilliam\nRunning Time: 105 mins\nBBFC Certificate: PG\nUK.\nThe kingdom has a big problem though as a monster, the Jabberwock, is stalking the woods. The King (Max Wall) decides a champion is needed. While Dennis has no experience of combat, Dennis gets caught up in all this. But will it help him win the heart of Griselda?\nLike much of Python, there’s a madcap quality to Jabberwocky. Although there is a plot, it’s a rather circuitous one that isn’t afraid of going off on zany, often downright silly, tangents. Unlike Python though, there are few moments of comic genius. That’s not to say it’s not fun though, as it’s zaniness and dark humour ensure it’s entertaining to watch, even 40 years on.\nDespite being made when the Pythons were still in their first active phase, Gilliam still had enormous difficulty raising the funds for Jabberwocky. It was a very low budget film, but as has almost become Terry’s trademark, he makes a little go a long way. Although there are some obvious rough edges, it still manages to create a convincing, dirty, medieval world, helped by a cast of British comedy veterans. And while it’s mainly interested in being silly, it does have a few serious points to make, such as the ‘businessmen’ who think the Jabberwocky is good for business and don’t want it killed, despite the misery its causing.\nThere’s also a nice addition for gay audiences in that despite this being a 1977 fantasy film, the King and his Chamberlain (Max Wall and John Le Mesurier) are a couple. They don’t make a big deal of it – indeed, it’s something you could easily miss – but when you notice it adds an unexpected sweetness to the movie. There’s no laughing at them and no one comments on it – it’s just something that is – and has a naturalness to how it’s included that even many modern movies can’t manage.\nAs this is a Criterion Edition, the Blu-ray comes with some good special features, including a really interesting, brand new documentary. Gilliam, Palin and actress Annette Badland all talk about the making of the movie, giving some fascinating insights into its creation. With a commentary and a few other worthwhile inclusions, it’s a good selection of features. The film has also recently been restored, ensuring that while not a crystal clear as modern released, it looks better in HD than you might expect.\nOverall Verdict: Crazy, silly and rough around the edges, Terry Gilliam’s zany solo directorial debut is still a lot of fun – and looks good in this new release.\nReviewer: Tim Isaac\nSpecial Features:\nNew 4K digital transfer from a restoration by the BFI National Archive and The Film Foundation, approved by director Terry Gilliam\n5.1 surround mix, supervised by Gilliam and presented in DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray\nEssay by critic Scott Tobias"}

{"text": "Intrigue\nBingham Hill Cheese Company (the cheesemakers who, in a very roundabout way, first inspired me with this whole cheesemaking thing) are suing Morning Fresh Dairy for theft of trade secrets, claiming the other cheesemakers stole their recipes. The funny thing is, Bingham Hill has been defunct since February (apparently because they put most of their eggs in one basket, Trader Joes).\nI really don't understand how a traditionally made artisanal cheese recipe could even be considered a \"trade secret.\" While there is certainly an art to the production of cheese, there's really no great secret to how it's made. The techniques and ingredients have been the same for centuries and any self-respecting \"artisan\" should be aware of his or her place in that tradition.link to this entry \| comments (1)\nBobolink blog\nI just found out that Jonathan White at Bobolink Dairy is keeping a blog.\nIf anyone else knows of any cheesemaker blogs, please post to the comments.

According to Williams Sonoma, Williams Sonoma was responsible for introducing the concept of farmhouse cheeses to the U.S. back in the 70s. First time I've heard that theory.link to this entry\nMy first cheese-related media coverage\nOk, this article in the NJ Herald News is really about Bobolink Dairy, but Kari and I were there the day the reporter came and we warranted a mention. The lede makes Jonathan out to be a bit of a misanthrope, but I think that’s more than a little off-base. Anyone who’s met him would have to agree that he’s really quite personable. Other than that, this is quite a nice piece.link to this entry \| comments (1)\nGrass alone\nOne of the many things that makes Bobolink different from other dairy farms — not to mention other cheesemakers — is that the cows here only eat grass. In a typical dairy operation, the cows will eat mostly grain or silage, often confined to a feedlot when they’re not in the milking barn. On some farms, cows are out on pasture eating grass sometimes supplemented with grain the rest of the time. The cows here, though, are different. From spring through fall they eat nothing but grass — outside. In the winter, they eat hay — outside. And that’s it.\nThere are a few reasons for this approach to dairying. The most basic is that grazing is part of the natural cycle of the cow’s life. Cows evolved to eat grass. Grain feeding is a relatively recent phenomenon — and one that can actually be harmful to the cows. According to EatWild, a website devoted to pasture-based.\nAnother good reason for pasture-raising animals — though not quite as high-minded — is cost. Once you have the land, grass is practically free. As long as it’s raining regularly and the sun is shining, the grass keeps growing back. Move the cows from pasture to pasture as they eat the grass down, and by the time you’re ready to move the cows back to the first pasture, the grass is back. Feed grain, on the other hand, and you’re looking at a costly feed bill.\nGiven the health and financial reasons, then, why would anyone bother with grain? As usual, the answer comes down to money. While it may be cheaper to feed grass than grain, grain-fed cows produce quite a lot more milk — something in the order of three times as much. Add in a confinement lot — something most large dairies use — and your labor costs can go down as well. The current system of large-scale corporate agriculture demands a large number of cows producing a huge volume of milk to make even a modest profit.\nSmall-scale operations, such as Bobolink, have an alternative in pasture-based farming that allows them to be profitable at a comfortable size. It also allows the operation to be seasonal (as in, the cows don’t milk in the winter — another rarity) and keeps the cows healthier. The average dairy cow milks for three seasons before it dies. We are currently milking cows that are 14 years old. This is almost as unheard of as the fact that we are able to get away with milking only once a day. We may be getting a third of the volume, but we’re more than making up for it in cheese.\n(Now would be a good time to admit that my stats and figures here are a bit shaky. I’m relying on hearsay quite a bit. I trust this hearsay, but I know I need to do some more research on all of this. To that end, if anyone sees anything good — or knows of any good resources — please send them my way.)\nA few pasturing resources:\nGrassfarmer.com\nEatWild - The Clearinghouse for information about pasture-based farming\nAmerican Grassfed Association\nGrass-Based Farming: A Demo Dairy Project\nDAIRY FARMER GIVES COWS A WINTER BREAK\nGreat Lakes Radio Consortium\nA few more interesting links\nFresh Ideas\nAnother NPR piece, this time on The Leonard Lopate Show.

{"text": "If your utility bill is high, there are way to tighten the belt on your energy consumption. More money in your wallet and less pollution in the environment are benefits of energy-saving changes around the house. The existing home structure and your current energy usage will help determine the best options for you to save money on your bill.\nLandscape\nIf you're wondering what shrubs have to do with energy savings, consider the function of these decorative landscape elements. When planted strategically, a shrub provides a barrier for wind. A large shrub barrier around the home can help block some of winter's cold wind, making your home feel more comfortable. Your heating system doesn't need to work as much so your energy bills are lower.\nTrees planted strategically block wind and direct sunlight also help reduce energy. In the summer, the tree blocks sunlight from directly hitting the windows so your air conditioning unit works less. In the winter, the leaves are gone so at least some of the sunlight can filter into your windows, offering free warmth from the sun's rays.\nUpgrade\nHome improvement projects mean signing checks now, but you will get a return on part of your investment with lower utility bills. Depending on the age of your home, you might have several areas you can update to lower your utility bill. The heating and cooling system is a major upgrade that can make a difference on energy usage. Other upgrades include a new water heater, EnergyStar appliances, additional insulation, double pane windows, and insulated entry doors. Retailers offer rebates on some larger appliances. Your utility company might also offer rebates to encourage customers to become more energy-efficient.\nClose Your Flue\nIf your home has a fireplace, the flue could let heated or cooled air escape. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the normal heating and cooling of the flue causes the metal to warp, allowing air out. Try a chimney balloon, which blocks air from escaping the flue. The balloon inflates and deflates as needed and is reusable. The balloon deflates automatically as soon as the heat reaches it if you forget to remove it before using the fireplace.\nUse Layers\nA lower setting on the thermostat means savings on your energy bill. No need to walk around with icicles hanging from your nose; only a few degrees will make a difference in your savings. Layers of clothing can keep you warm with a slightly cooler air temperature in the house. Throw blankets work well for additional warmth.\nPhoto Credits\n- house image by Byron Moore from Fotolia.com\nMORE MUST-CLICKS:\n- Top 10 Things to Lower Your Electric Bill in the Winter\n- Energy-Efficient Home Heating Systems\n- Frugal Kitchen Backsplash Ideas\n- When Does a Heat Pump Replacement Save Money?\n- The Disadvantages of a Solar House\n- Optimal Settings for Programmable Thermostats\n- What Can We Spend Money on Now to Save Money Later?\n- Annual Expense of Home Maintenance"}

{"text": "Hey Cats,\nSadly the summer is drawing to a close, the nights are growing darker earlier and the autumn months will soon be upon us. I do love the summer and all that goes with it, but I enjoy the autumn and winter months.\nThe two seasons definitely go hand in hand in terms of fashion and trends too. Below I’m going to look into four main autumn/winter eyewear trends for 2016 that have been noted by the pros.\nAnd guess where they’re all from? Tesco Opticians, the home of great prescription glasses, high-street or designer, and cheap contact lenses!\nColour – Red\nAccording to latest style advice, red is a colour that is going to be a prominent feature this autumn/winter season. I can see why! I always think of red and crimson as symbolic of warm autumn hues and festive shades of winter.\nThe pair below, DVF 5055 from Tesco Opticians is designed by Diane Von Furstenberg and are the perfect shade for the transition into the colder, crisper months.\nColour – Brown\nBrown is the second colour set to take autumn/winter 2016 by storm. Warm autumnal hues of rich, leafy reds and browns complement the changing seasons perfectly. This pair by Brink Couture is a subtle and warm tortoiseshell on a slightly thinner frame. The delicate detailing on the arm adds a sense of vintage couture that I love!\nCasual – Geeky\nGeek-chic is also predicted to be a strong trend over the coming months. The lighter rims and semi-rimless frames add an effortless and unobtrusive feel, whilst the larger lenses create the look. I have chosen two examples below from Tesco Opticians, the first gold pair is by Givenchy, and the second semi-rimless pair are by Nord-Lite. I adore both, and think they offer something different, whilst maintaining the on-trend, geeky look.\nStatement – Thick rim\nThe final trend makes a bold statement and can be the perfect accompaniment to a chunky winter coat or girlie autumn dress and boots. This pair of thick black rims named Retro by ’3535 by ‘54 are really versatile and totally on trend. They are the perfect choice for a daintier face because of the contrast they create, think Zoe Deschanel!\nEmbrace the transition from summer to autumn and on to winter and enjoy these styles that will keep you looking fabulous in any season. For hundreds of styles of prescription glasses and cheap contact lenses, have a browse on the Tesco Opticians website and even virtually try on a pair with their Frames on Me tool or book a free eye test.\nThis has been a collaboration\nGreat to see you blogging again, I've missed your voice.

How much steady, firm pressure must a peer pursue?” The dragon reflects. “The premise is, we’re peers? Equals? Possible. In ticks, no. In talks? That I doubt, too. I’ve been gabbing ages longer than you’ve been alive.” “And that’s just one conversation,” the girl interjects. “Yes,” the dragon allows, nodding toward the kneeling angel, “we’ve ages yet. Mind if I steal a date? You’ve a few wrapped in wax paper\nFriday, April 20, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Twenty-Four\nhave to have a tick talk?” “No, really. I keep them in my ears. Dried ones.” The dragon digs a curving claw into a fold in its green ear. Flakes trickle out on its palm. The girl squints at the wrinkled little black dots when the dragon holds the palm out. “I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before in my life. But I think I’m not going to be eating a tick. Somehow, if perhaps just this once, I will succeed in resisting the peer pressure.” The dragon closes its eyes and considers the girl’s response. It could be\nWednesday, April 18, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Twenty-Two\nextinct. Here, for instance. He’s the last one.” The angel is now sitting on its feet, head bowed over clasped hands, eyes closed. “Is he praying it back to life?” the girl whispers. Making no concession to the apparent solemnity of the occasion the dragon scratches at its chest, finds a tick, and yanks it out. “When did you,” the dragon says, then guesses, “Ah! I bet I picked you up between. I’ve heard of the ticks between times. Thought they’d be larger. No, thinking of the hydras, aren’t I.” The dragon glances at the girl, holding up the tick,\nTuesday, April 17, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Twenty-One\nsteps into the hall. “A two-for-one deal?” “I suppose,” the dragon says, “in that what you get for nothing is one for all, if by one we mean none at all.” “Is that what we mean?” The angel is hovering over the inanimate leprechaun, touching it very precisely at points either therapeutic or diagnostic. “Is it dead?” asks the girl. “It might be,” the dragon replies, both of them watching the angel’s investigations, neither wishing to offer to help. “It’s hard to tell with leprechauns. In some places they get to be a regular infestation. In other places they’re practically\nMonday, April 16, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Twenty\nmakes no sound. Hm, thinks the girl, a little disappointed that looking up at the ceiling reveals no gold rope, no keyhole. She raises one hand and snaps her fingers twice. “Calling something?” says a nasal voice. At her feet, sitting like an attentive dog, its scaly tail stretched out behind it, a dragon yawns. The girl stares into its maw of sharp teeth. Finishing the yawn, the dragon says, somewhat inarticulately, “Came with the angel,” and shrugs in the direction of the door where the angel is rolling the last of the invisible membrane in its hands as it\nSunday, April 15, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Nineteen\nthough she follows their passage as the angel drops them, follows them to the floor where she thinks she maybe sees them. Surely the balls are piling up by the angel’s feet. Should she help? As the angel removes this barrier the air in the hall begins to change, becoming cooler. Or is it warmer? The girl tightens the sash on her robe and shivers, sweat beading on her forehead, drops falling from her armpits. Now what? She looks up at the ceiling. A ripple passes along it. The ripple doesn’t seem to disturb the lights or ceiling tiles. It\nSaturday, April 14, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Eighteen\nat the leprechaun and she wonders if it’s smiling. She narrows her eyes. The hand is still stuck up in the air. She looks back at the rectangle of white. An angel again. But is it her angel? The angel picks at the air with long fingernails, seems to grasp something the girl can’t see, pulls at it, a look of concentration on its luminous face. Gradually, the angel peels away a membrane. Large pieces strip away, and the angel rolls them into balls in those long hands and drops these balls, which the girl doesn’t think she can see,\nFriday, April 13, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Seventeen\nI could drink wine, the girl thinks. But as she gazes into the light, not blinded at all, the angel smiles and raises the chalice as though in a toast. And fades away. To be replaced by the officious visage of the keykeeper overseer who the girl last saw peeking into an empty box. Or a box full of fog. The overseer opens her mouth and it is blank. No teeth, no tongue, no shadow even. Then she is blanked out and the door might as well be open on a white-washed wall. With an effort the girl glances over\nThursday, April 12, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Sixteen\nlooks into the light, she will be blinded. What has the leprechaun done to her? Did it hurt her? It hurt her feelings. A little. Sort of. It was weird and ugly. Which is still true. Maybe it was responsible for this whole thing. The disappearance of the overseer. The blank room. The doors that weren’t there. The angel. Probably not the angel. That was different. That was nice. And the coffee. The coffee was good. The girl looks into the light. And there’s the angel, holding a cup of coffee. Wow! No, it’s a chalice. Wine would be okay.\nWednesday, April 11, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Fifteen\ngood kick. She considers the gut, the knee, lets herself picture her foot slamming under the chin, the flips the little creature would make. She’s not going to do that. That would be mean. Besides, who knows what a leprechaun is capable of. It hasn’t moved. Frozen? Did time stop here? Can that even happen? Who knows what can happen. Is it dead? Kicking the leprechaun would require going up to it. Even in the act of knocking it away you’d have to touch it. She has avoided looking toward the open door. Her eyes need to adjust. If she\nTuesday, April 10, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Fourteen\nbriskly, the girl doesn’t catch. For when everything has been yanked away but her robes, she is standing in an institutional hallway lit by flickering fluorescents, scuffs worn into the brown squares of the linoleum by countless shambling inmates, one nearby door standing open letting a pure white light pour forth. “Not to mention the leprechaun,” the girl says aloud. It stands in the pose she left it, one claw-like hand raised, an expression on its twisted face that could be rage or could be indifference. Hell, it could be joy. She’s tempted to go over and give it a\nMonday, April 09, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Thirteen\nback to the Official Rotunda of the Others, she would need a uniform to turn in. ORO. ORO was stitched in gold on all the labels. She’d never really thought about what the name meant. The guardian is pointing at something behind the girl. The girl turns to look. A thick gold rope hangs down along the wall beside the gate. The girl glances back at the guardian who nods firmly. “OK,” the girl says and grasps the rope with both hands and pulls. The gate rises up smoothly. The walls also slip upwards. Whether the guardian rises just as\nSunday, April 08, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Twelve\ninto a nap, the girl clears her throat. When the throat clearing goes to dry coughing and the girl realizes she’s going to have to move on to gagging or speaking, she says, “Are we supposed to go through this gate?” The woman yawns and shrugs. Yawns and shrugs? The girl did not come all this way for yawns and shrugs. What she did come all this way for is still a mystery, of course. She could go back out to the tent and get her clothes. Not that they are her clothes. The keykeeper uniform. If she could get\nSaturday, April 07, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Eleven\nsharp bend in the corridor finds the fat guardian waiting for her before another gate. The guardian fans herself with a collapsible fan painted with a scene from the line at a supermarket check-out stand. She arches her back slightly, grimacing, rubbing her back with the other hand, and seems to awaken only vaguely when the girl presents herself, apologizing for getting distracted along the way. This new gate bars the way to a sunny garden, glimpses of which giant ferns crowded around the gate allow when a grudging breeze stirs their fronds. When a silence threatens to extend into\nFriday, April 06, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Ten\nto get away from it. “I wonder if it wanted into my heart, too,” she mutters, and the fountain says, “The leprechaun is here, don’t you know, don’t you know, kill the buddha on the road and steal the nails from the crucified god.” The girl isn’t sure she wants to catch up to the guardian but it’s somewhere to hurry to and the girl has the feeling she is better off hurrying. Her slippers make a brisk and steady whisper on the paving stones. “Just don’t start trying to tell me shit,” the girl says, and, coming to a\nThursday, April 05, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Nine\ncity out of the Arabian Nights only be hit on by a Jesus freak. “Uh,” she says, “my guide’s gotten ahead of me, I think. Uh. Better catch up with her. Nice uh nice meeting you, I guess.” The girl is backing up while she says this, the fountain backing her up, “Unburdened by the life quotient, a new respectful entity of distrust randomly pursues the sinking passenger.” In other words, “Get this guy in your review mirror!” As she spins on her heel and makes off after the fat guardian, she flashes on the leprechaun and how she hurried\nWednesday, April 04, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Eight\nfamiliar,” they both say, then laugh at this meeting of the minds. Still laughing, the man pats his chest. “Jesus,” he says. “You know ol’ Jesus.” He reaches out and taps the girl above her heart. “Because you’ve let ol’ Jesus into your heart.” She looks up into his sparkling eyes. “What?” she says. “In your heart,” he explains. “You’ve opened your heart to the man who died for you, who loves you, who always wants what’s best for you. Love! You’ve filled your heart with it.” The girl’s smile fades.

The creases in his brow look more good-humored than fierce. “Is there a tree around here to be up?” she asks. The fountain says, “If you must listen to the whisperings of the well of loneliness, bring along bongos.” The man says, “There are trees and there are trees. Some trees are bigger than others. Some trees’ seeds are bigger than other trees’ seeds.” “What about mustard seeds?” the girl says, and, “Should I have brought bongos?” “If you’ve been carrying a beat,” the man says, and the fountain finishes, “you can\nSunday, April 01, 2012\nThousand: Seven Hundred Five\nat her from the passage to the right. His beard is white but his moustache is still black and it extends as two black stripes down a beard that touches his chest. The man’s hair is dark, mostly, and clips hold it back from his face.

Of course, it would. When she feels the mist from the fountain on her cheek the hall comes to a T with another.

{"text": "Middle School\nThe Middle School at Green Hedges, which comprises Grade 6 through Grade 8, builds on the rich and challenging educational program in the Lower School while offering new experiences and learning opportunities. Unlike the Lower School, which is homeroom based, the Middle School is discipline based, with students moving from class to class across the day. Rather than having homeroom teachers, Middle School students work closely with their faculty advisors, who monitor and support student progress across all realms of school life. The Middle School years offer students exciting and rewarding opportunities to explore an expanding world of knowledge and perspective in all subject areas.\nSignificance is placed on all components of language arts with additional emphasis on writing, which becomes the pivotal point for language expansion and comprehension. Students are tutored in oral presentations, debate, and public speaking so that they are poised and accomplished in front of an audience and so that they can most effectively present their emerging personal views. They are encouraged to expand their understanding of the world and their place in it by reading all genres of traditional and contemporary international literature. To more fully immerse students into their academic study, this literature curriculum links to the social studies program, which spans the centuries world wide from the Dark Ages to the twenty-first century.\nStudents are encouraged to approach their mathematics and science classes with an inquisitive mind, keen observation, and a desire to experiment. During this mathematical and scientific exploration, students engage in study that moves from the concrete to the abstract and requires sophisticated thinking and insightful deduction. The Middle School math program follows a three-year sequence of general math in Grade 6, pre-Algebra in Grade 7, and Algebra 1 in Grade 8. In addition to providing students with a conceptual understanding of the specific material, the math instruction in the Middle School is designed to enhance students math logic and intuition. In science, students develop critical thinking skills and acquire a basic understanding of scientific principles, theories, methods and concepts related to chemistry and properties of matter, ecology, and energy. In addition to the factual content, students are asked to explore the ethical and social issues connected to the scientific content.\nThe foreign language program continues to build on the foundation established in the earlier grades. In addition to specific vocabulary and grammatical concepts, students are exposed to cultural aspects of the respective countries. Students work on developing writing skills while continuing to improve their reading and oral communication skills. As our language instruction begins at such an early age, many students go into accelerated foreign language programs in high school. Green Hedges students also fare very well in national foreign language examinations as well as local oral competitions.\nThese core subject studies are enriched by an in-depth art history course and extensions into the realm of fine art, music, and drama. Green Hedges is committed to exposing students to the arts and the Middle School curriculum fosters intellectual growth and an aesthetic appreciation in all art-related fields of study. In addition to a yearlong art class, students in the Middle School participate in either the band or hand bell ensemble, sing in the chorus, and perform in a class drama presentation.\nGreen Hedges believes that a healthy body complements a healthy mind and our Physical Education program supports this commitment. Designed to inspire in our students a lifetime of fitness, our program develops skills, introduces strategy, and promotes sportsmanship and team spirit. In addition to thrice-weekly PE classes, Green Hedges offers an interscholastic sports program in the Middle School to provide our students with an opportunity to compete as a team.\nGreen Hedges promotes numerous opportunities for our Middle School students to engage in a variety of additional activities that define the Middle School experience. This includes a three-day retreat at the beginning of the year to Caroline Furnace,which allows the Middle School students and the faculty to begin to develop the essential student-teacher relationships that promote a memorable, enjoyable, and productive school experience. The Middle School also participates in a number of social and academic day trips across the year which, in conjunction with the strong academic program, prepare the students for high school. At commencement, the young graduates are poised, articulate and prepared for the world beyond Green Hedges."}

{"text": "The Look for (Much) Less: DIY Open Shelving\nHaving taken woodshop in college, I love to examine how things are put together and the design of this piece is very straightforward. I don’t have access to a woodshop so the only tool I used was an electric drill. While it is feasible to do this alone, I recommend working with another person who can hold the boards in place while you work.\nAfter measuring the space where the shelves were to go I blocked the area out with tape to get an idea of the footprint of the piece and to see if I could easily work around it in the kitchen. Next I determined the height I wanted the space between the shelves to be and marked it out in tape on the wall as well. I determined I wanted the width of the shelves to be 41” so it would sit flush with the wall and the height or the individual shelves to be 12” to accommodate my tallest vase.\nNext was a trip to my beloved Home Depot. I chose to work with pine because of its cost effectiveness but you do need to watch out for bowing with any of the softer woods. They precut the boards to your dimensions for you so I had them cut five 41” pieces and eight 12” pieces of an 11” wide board. I also purchased a small can of primer and a can of high gloss white paint. The total cost for materials was around $80.\nOnce I got the materials home I began the measuring, this is the easiest part to mess up so double check your work before you put any holes in the wood. I staggered the pieces 4 inches apart, with the innermost supports sitting exactly one quarter of the way in on either side. Once I had drawn my measurements out in pencil on the boards I lined the boards up and drilled pilot holes through the horizontal piece and into the vertical support. I spaced out 3 holes, one in the center of the wood and the others inset about an inch from the edge.\nOnce the pilot holes were drilled I worked level-by-level assembling the piece using wood screws, this was fairly easy to do because of the staggered design. With the completed piece assembled I prepared it for painting, covering the tops of the screws with wood putty and sanding any rough patches. Next I applied a coat of primer with a brush, then a coat of the glossy paint.\nThe project took a total of about 4 hours to complete and cost around $80, saving me close to $400 once you factored in the shipping costs on the CB2 piece. It fits perfectly in my kitchen and I love both the way it looks and the extra storage space it provides.\n-Kim"}

{"text": "The Island of Vis in Croatia: From Isolation to Tourist Destination\nText by Natasa Radic for Southeast European Times*\nAs the outmost inhabited island of the Dalmatian archipelago, 45 kilometres from the middle-Dalmatian city Split, Vis is an ideal vacation spot for those who try to avoid crowded, touristy places. The island has preserved its authenticity with its crystal blue sea and beautiful caves.\n\"Vis is unlike any other Croatian island. It is out of easy reach, but unique. You can still relax during a vacation without having to mingle with a crowd full of tourist expectations,\" Zagreb resident Ivana Devic, who is planning a Vis vacation, told Southeast European Times.\nDuring World War II, the island was the main hideout of Josip Broz Tito, who would become a leader of the former Yugoslavia.\nBefore Yugoslavia dissolved, Vis was a forbidden island with a military naval base -- foreign tourists were not allowed. However, the last military submarine left the island in 1989, and Vis became home to private yachts.\nAccess remains the biggest problem, especially for its 3,500 inhabitants. For those without a boat, the only way to reach Vis is by ferry or hydrofoil. Once on the island, however, the roads are easy to travel.\nOne of the best-known spots in Vis is Bisevo, an islet near the city of Komiza. The inlet is home to the Blue Cave, dubbed the \"gem of the Adriatic\", famous for its iridescent reflection of blue and silver shades, a natural phenomenon evoking a fairytale-like atmosphere.
