So a couple of months ago, I appeared on a D&D 5e oneshot called The Goblin’s Feet – hosted by the lovely Laura Dale, with Joe Parlock – also of Let’s Play Videogames, and George Johnson of jaffameister.com.
It was a brilliant evening and I had loads of plans for what I could do with that character in future. However, D&D campaigns do require a fair bit of writing an prep and Laura is a busy girl. This didn’t stop me plotting and scheming about what I could get up to given more time. This all leads neatly to finding out that Amazon had all the important D&D manuals on sale recently. A few messages later and I’ve managed to rope George and Laura into a whole campaign of role playing goodness.
That’s right, I’m swapping my usual dungeon for something less whip-y and more goblin-y. What have they let themselves in for? *prolonged evil laughter* This is my first attempt at DMing and only my second time playing D&D at all, but I’m pretty sure, whatever else happens, we’ll have some fun.
Dates to be announced but keep an eye here and on the official twitter account for more on this.

But with so many various products and brands included in the promotion, it’s often hard to know which items are included or not.
Well now one savvy shopper has revealed that there’s a SECRET SYMBOL on all products which offer a free Ooshie. That’s right, if you look closely when shopping online you can see a mini paw print on the photograph each of the items which offer a bonus Ooshie when purchased.
The secret symbol can be seen on products and brands included in the bonus Ooshie offer.
Don't forget to keep your eye out for the blue paw!
It’s great news for collectors who say they’re keen to give ‘the secret symbol hack a go.’
‘I’m so trying this,’ said one Facebook user. Added another: ‘I bought all the items I saw with the secret symbol and winded up getting bonus Ooshies on all of them - it really works!’

How many different things I've tried over how many years. How many medical doctors, naturopaths, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, oils, and diets I have tried. How many drugs, topical and systemic, I have been prescribed and dutifully taken.
How often I've written about living with a chronic but not life-threatening disease that quietly chips away at your quality of life, and about graciously handling well-intended unsolicited advice, allergies, and magic bullets. How much sleep I've lost to itching and how driven to the brink of sanity I have been by all of it.
How I couldn't nurse my babies for as long as I wanted, because I was bleeding from my nipples, and how the lactation consultant made me feel guilty about quitting anyway and tried to tell me some unscientific bullshit about how my kids would have eczema too if I stopped nursing. (I was nursed as a baby, so, um, no).
How I can't exercise or swim in a pool because my skin can't tolerate sweat or pool chemicals. How there are tiny blood stains on all my clothes and sheets. How the only thing that ever really helped me was a psychologist in San Francisco specializing in skin disorders, and a dilute bath with one cup of Clorox bleach to kill bacteria.
I knew this drug was different, because it was an entirely different category of drugs.That didn't mean it would work, of course, but I had to try. My immune system doesn't work right, but fortunately my mind does, and I have extensive research skills. I knew this was the biggest medical breakthrough for eczema in my lifetime. So I followed the clinical trials closely and I was determined to try Dupixent.
I battled my insurance company for six weeks, enrolled with the drug company, and sent countless emails to my providers to have shipped to Alaska four syringes at $40,000 a year of mysterious, scary-looking yellow liquid.
It wasn't a steroid and it wasn't an immunosuppressant. It was a "biologic" that works differently than any other type of medicine I'd ever tried. The National Eczema Society has a good description of how Dupixent works:
Dupixent is the first biologic medication approved by the FDA for adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). It is taken subcutaneously (by injection) at 300 mg once every other week.Ten days ago, I got my first injections of Dupixent. At first It didn't do anything, and in fact it was making things worse. I was disappointed but not at all surprised. I was flaring up on my eyelids and my neck. I had to take another bleach bath. I was worse off than I was before. Of course this was one more failed experiment, but at least now I knew.
Biologic drugs or “biologics” are genetically engineered from proteins derived from living cells or tissues. Biologics are designed to target specific parts of the immune system that contribute to chronic inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis.
Biologics take an “inside out” approach to treating inflammatory conditions by addressing the issue at the immune system level, the root cause of many diseases.
Dupixent works by blocking a type of protein called an interleukin, or IL, from binding to their cell receptors. Interleukins contribute to a functioning immune system by helping to fight off viruses or bacteria in our bodies. When the immune system goes haywire, it can trigger certain ILs to mistakenly attack the body, resulting in chronic inflammatory conditions such as atopic dermatitis.
Dupixent works on two interleukins thought to contribute to atopic diseases: IL-4 and IL-13. By blocking IL-4 and IL-13 from binding to the receptors, Dupixent curbs the immune system over-reaction that results in atopic dermatitis. A calmed immune system leads to fewer and/or less severe symptoms of AD.
Then about three days ago, my skin started turning a corner, and I knew it wasn't just another tenuous remission. My eczema was clearing up in places--like the seam where my earlobes meet my neck--that hadn't been free of eczema at any point in my adult life.
The voice in my head said not to be too excited, that the next injection might cause a setback or another flareup. But I felt different enough this time to think maybe, just maybe, this was the "miracle" I had been waiting for.
It's hard to justify such drastic, remedial medical measures for a common condition like eczema. A condition most people have in one or two little spots that they can fix with lotion.
People ask me if I've tried lotion. They wonder why I would go to such extremes. I know they mean well. I don't get angry. I know they don't understand what I've been through, and they don't know all the things I've tried to get to this place. They don't understand that living in chronic discomfort in your own skin isn't a cosmetic problem, but a medical one that's worth whatever unknown sci-fi type risks that come with tinkering with your genome.
I'm past the point of caring though. I'm more than willing to accept all of those risks if it means I can stop thinking about eczema forever.
This is me doing wet wraps during a flareup, October 2014. If you're curious, Google it, I'm too lazy to explain!
This is me after 10 days of Dupixent.

When did the original Globe Theatre open?
In 1599 the theatre opened and was a huge success. This engraving of Bankside, made in 1644, shows the tiled roof and large tiring house and stage roof (like an upside-down W) of the second Globe.
When and where was the original Globe Theater opened?
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare’s playing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, on land owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613.
What was the first play performed at the Globe Theatre?
Julius Caesar was the first known William Shakespeare play to be performed at the Globe Theatre.
When was the Globe Theatre rebuilt?
The original theatre was built in 1599, destroyed by the fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern Globe Theatre is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings.
How much did it cost to watch a play at the Globe Theatre?
Admission to the indoor theatres started at 6 pence. One penny was only the price of a loaf of bread. Compare that to today’s prices. The low cost was one reason the theatre was so popular.
How was the Globe Theatre destroyed?
On 29th June 1613, a theatrical cannon misfired during a performance of Henry VIII and set fire to the thatch of the Globe Theatre, engulfing the roof in flames. Within minutes, the wooden structure was also alight, and in under an hour the Globe was destroyed. Incredibly, only one casualty was recorded.
Who owned the Globe Theatre?
By May 1599, the new theatre was ready to be opened. Burbage named it the Globe after the figure of Hercules carrying the globe on his back – for in like manner the actors carried the Globe’s framework on their backs across the Thames.
Why did the Globe shut down?
On June 29, 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry the Eighth. A theatrical cannon, set off during the performance, misfired, igniting the wooden beams and thatching. Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642.
Is the Globe Theatre still standing?
There are many replicas and pop-up venues all across the world that seek to recreate Shakespeare’s original performance space. After being closed for the majority of 2020 due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the Globe Theatre reopened in 2021 for tours and performances.
Why is the Globe Theatre famous?
The Globe is known because of William Shakespeare’s (1564–1616) involvement in it. Plays at the Globe, then outside of London proper, drew good crowds, and the Lord Chamberlain’s Men also gave numerous command performances at court for King James.
Why is the Globe Theater Important?
The Globe was significant in the past because it was part of the English Renaissance, a time when theater and the arts flourished. It was also the place where many of Shakespeare’s plays saw their premieres. While the Globe Theatre was not the first playhouse in London, it was one of the early theaters built there.
How much did it cost to rebuild the Globe Theater?
Money for the project was slow in coming. Altogether, $12 million was raised from private donors and 8 of the 20 sections that make up the polygonal structure Shakespeare called the “Wooden O” are in place. But the trust still has to raise the additional $3 million to complete the theater itself.
How long did it take to rebuild the Globe?
In 1971 Wanamaker set up the Shakespeare’s Globe Trust to actively pursue his long-term dream of building a reconstruction of the original Globe theatre. It took 23 years to find land, get planning permission and raise the money for the work.
What happens at the Globe when it rains?
If it rains, people on the floor (standing) get wet, and people in the benches won’t cuz they are under roof. over a year ago. over a year ago. There’s covered seating and there’s the open standing only area in front of the stage.

Travel beyond COVID-19. What travel will look like during & after COVID-19. A series of interviews with our top Hospitality and Tourism partners from around the world. Updates, Awareness, Wisdom & Education.
Privilege Italia The Staiano Team in Capri
Privilege Italia is a DMC that specializes in Concierge Services that deliver the most exclusive Italian experiences to visitors seeking a unique tailor-made journey in the “Bel Paese”. It’s founders Mario and Francesco Staiano, are cousins who were born and bred in the travel industry; one can certainly say that tourism is in their blood. Privilege Italia was born from the idea of making tourism in Italy not only a way to visit this amazing country but above all to provide our guests an unforgettable experience, one they would fully identify with.
The Staiano family founded their Capri tour business in the 1950s, just a few years before Capri was to become one of the most fashionable holiday destinations in the world. The family has been welcoming visitors to this magical Italian island ever since!
More than half a century and three generations later, their passion for tourism and curating authentic experiences is as strong as ever. As the family has grown, so has their business flourished and expanded throughout the generations. They have consolidated themselves as the premier concierge services company in the Amalfi Coast region, an official limousine services partner to the most exclusive hotels of the region.
Q&A / Travel beyond COVID-19
Q&A Travel beyond COVID-19. Insight shared from out travel partners around the globe. For follow up questions, kindly contact us directly.
When are you foreseeing your destination opening back for tourists ?
The Borders for the country included in the Schengen area (so European + Montecarlo) are opened with no risk of quarantine. For the rest of the world should be by June 15th, but there are no official news at the moment so we should wait for that, we’ll keep you posted
What measures have you taken to reopen post COVID-19 ?
Please address sterilization measures, security, mandates on staff and guests testing, transportation etc.

Our cars will provide sanitizing gel, gloves and masks if the clients would need/request. Our drivers will wear gloves and masks. Our tour guide or leader, will wear mask and gloves. 10 of our 27 vehicles will have a fixed booth, it’s important to pre-book that kind of vehicles in advance.
Privilege Italia with her sister company ( limousine service ) provided always a staff dedicated in the main airports of Italy ( outside of the custom areas) and some ports as Naples, Capri, Ischia or Palermo (outside of the ferry) assisting and escorting clients to their driver . Now we’ll improve with a little extra a staff dedicated even in the main train stations and smaller airports . As usual on request Privilege Italia will be happy to provide a complete VIP Meet & Greet service with porterage from the door of the aircraft to the vehicle to assist clients and make all the process easier and more comfortable.
For our Boat tours and/or Helicopter the captain/pilot will be provided of mask and gloves. Before boarding, temperature will be scanned with electronic thermometers. On board Sanitizing gel and gloves will be provided for our clients .
How do you plan to enforce these measures and how will you ensure compliance?
As mentioned above, by educating and training our staff, and assisting clients needs were needed, more than ever.
How will these measures affect the overall regular experience ?
According with rules that are currently valid in our country the experiences or tours will be affected with mandatory use of masks while in outdoor and indoor common areas and limited number of people allowed to be in the same indoor space. More than ever the reservation of any museums tickets will be recommended, avoiding any type of last minute planning or walk-ins. Some tasting experiences – such as wine, cheese or olive oil tastings – will be much affected for the limited number of people allowed.
Privilege Italia will suggest the use of headsets to make the tour more comfortable for the clients and to listen on the best way the tour guide having the mask.

How will you plan to maintain a level social distancing ?

At the moment the quarantine is obliged for all the people coming from outside the EU borders, there is a chance to fly through Paris and avoid that but no authorities has confirmed that officially. From June 15th the borders should be reopened for some more countries. ( TO BE CONFIRMED )
Please add any additional information you believe would be helpful to raise travelers trust levels in order to visit ?
The situation in our country – since the COVID started – has been different between the northern and southern regions. The goal achieved is that the Northern region is finally coming out of the tunnel and in July should be COVID Free, while the Southern Region, has kept control of the spread and the numbers were really low. Most of the region are already COVID free (updated on June 3rd).
Now on a lighter and positive note,
Have you taken advantage of this quiet months, to curate new experiences or discover new locations/destinations? If YES Which ?
Absolutely YES, we improved our selection of tours, especially following the trend, showing that clients are looking for more and more real experiences in contact with nature, enjoying the outdoors.

As anyone who’s spent more than a minute on a fan forum could tell you, comic book readers can be real sticklers for accuracy when it comes to translating their favorite characters to the big screen. But while the recent Deadpool 2 takes a few liberties in interpreting the mutant Domino, actress Zazie Beetz has reported minimal backlash from Marvel Comics purists.
Speaking at ACE Comic Con, the star of the upcoming Joker movie said that she understands the protectiveness felt by some fans when it comes to adapting characters, while adding that she actually hasn’t seen a lot online rage directed towards her version of Domino.
“I also understood that. I think about my own kind of associations I have with my own characters that I loved in my childhood, and you definitely…particularly visually have an image that you’re attached to,” Beetz said. “So I understood that part. So I get if you feel, or if people have felt detached from my version. I more balk at if people become rude online or something like that, but I have to say it hasn’t been too much of an issue. I’ve been blessed in that department.”
When asked if she felt embraced by the fan community, Beetz went on to recall the warm response she received once her movie came out.
“I’ll lead with overwhelmingly positive, which has been wonderful,” Beetz said. “I’ve felt really so welcomed into this community and in the beginning, I was nervous because I know I don’t look like the traditional character and I wanted to also respect that people…I didn’t need to be their Domino, but I think particularly after the movie came out people were so excited and so supportive and I’m thinking even this turnout here and people showing up, so it’s really been so positive, so I’m really really grateful about that.”
While Domino’s next big screen outing will technically be the festive PG-13 cut for Deadpool 2– reportedly titled The Deadpool Before Christmas – the character’s next proper film is scheduled to be X-Force, though director Drew Goddard has recently expressed uncertainty on whether the project could be affected by the impending Disney-Fox deal. When asked about the pic at ACE Comic Con, Beetz herself was similarly unsure of what was happening with the planned Deadpool spinoff, but both she and her co-stars seem pretty excited about how their characters could progress from here.
Though it’s been a while since we’ve heard any news of substantial progress on X-Force, the success of Deadpool 2 suggests that neither Fox nor Disney would be likely to drop this property in a hurry. Either way, if a more family-friendly take on Wade Wilson’s latest adventure sounds like it could be your thing, then you can at least look out for The Deadpool Before Christmas when it hits theaters on December 21st, 2019.

Sheffield Wednesday’s next manager? - Former Manchester City man Joey Barton leaps into list of bookies’ favourites for Hillsborough job
Dejphon Chansiri is still on the hunt for Sheffield Wednesday's next permanent manager.
There was a tumultuous end to the year for the Owls, with Chansiri firing Tony Pulis just after Christmas, and Neil Thompson – the new caretaker manager – going on to win back-to-back games at Hillsborough to climb out of the relegation zone.
With the January transfer window now open, the Wednesday chairman will no doubt be eager to try and get a new manager in as soon as possible so that he has chance to try and bring in a couple of players for what he wants to do at the club, but Thompson’s start has certainly given Chansiri a bit of breathing space.
The likes of Thorsten Fink, Paul Cook, Danny Cowley, Paco Jemez, Gus Poyet and Jose Morais have all been mentioned with regards to being in the running for the job, however The Star understands that Poyet and Morais are not being considered at this point in time – the others, however, may be potential options.
Now, on the back of his departure from Fleetwood Town, Joey Barton has become the latest name linked with the vacant position at S6, links given credence due to the fact that he’s newly available.
Some may have thought his exit was due to having something else lined up elsewhere, but comments from Fleetwood’s Andy Pilley suggest that it was more their decision than his.
Pilley said on the club’s official website, “I'd like to put on record my thanks to Joey Barton for job he's done during his time at Fleetwood Town… Joey has been a pleasure to have at the club and I'm sure he will go onto have a hugely successful career. Today's decision was a tough one for me to make, but I felt now was the right time for the club to go in a different direction.”
At the time of writing the 10 bookies favourites were:
Paul Cook – 6/5
Joey Barton – 7/4
Danny Cowley – 10/1
Gus Poyet – 8/1
Danny Cowley – 10/1
Thorsten Fink – 10/1
Neil Thompson – 12/1
Paco Jemez – 12/1
Jose Morais – 16/1
Nigel Pearson – 20/1
Chansiri is desperate not to make the wrong appointment, so may well take some time before making his final decision.

On September 10th/11th, the project kick-off meeting of Climate-KIC Demonstrator-project “SAFERPLACES” (Improved assessment of pluvial, fluvial and coastal flood hazards and risks in European cities as a mean to build safer and resilient communities) under the lead of our partner GECOSISTEMA S.r.l. took place in Rimini, Italy.
Climate-KIC is currently the biggest pan-european public-private network for innovations in the fields of climate change, renewable energy and low emission industry. The focus-area “Climate Risk Information” deals, inter alia, with developing risk analytics tools which stakeholders (city planners, commodity traders, infrastructure investors and engineers, and businesses) can use to manage physical risk, reduce uncertainty and enable resilience-building decisions.
That´s exactly where “SAFERPLACES” comes into action, in which duration (2018-2021) und scope enhanced and highly-automated tools for calculating the pluviatile, fluviatile und maritime inundation risk are being developed, validated and calibrated in three European pilot studies, most probably bigger cities.
IB HUMER therefore will be active in the work packages of “Flood hazard characterisation and modelling” and “Resilient strategies and flood risk reduction” via the 2d-hydraulic calculation of heavy rain events (pluvial inundation) in consideration of the community infrastructure (storm water drainage) and taking care of the benchmarking of the automated tools.

Rookies, quarterbacks and injured players took the field on Wednesday morning in St. Joseph Misouri.
The biggest headline is that Travis Kelce was there and he is 100 percent healthy and glad to be back on the field with his teammates.
Kelce spoke for the first time since mandatory mini-camp about his ankle, how long it had been bothering him, the upcoming season and what Mahomes has improved upon.

Everyday is an opportunity to lift others along their soulshape journey
Our Soulshape journey
Our journey began when our founder, Leslie Bennett, lost her husband in a tragic accident resulting into a life support decision on his 49th birthday. In her grief she reached beyond talk therapy to reconstruct her heartbreak. She embarked on a spiritual journey that included mediums, psychics, akashic readers, spiritual coaches, and metaphysical teachers. What surprised her is how difficult it was to find alternative healing professionals and the degree of societal biases influencing her decision making.
Leslie wants to make finding alternative healing professional easy. Not only that, she wants Soulshape to be a reliable educational platform for anyone to learn about the different modalities. One thing is for sure, having a Soulshape platform would have saved Leslie hours of research, frustration and fear. Soulshape is designed to save time and remove the fear of hiring a charlatan. We invite you to help lift alternative healing professionals into a new era of accessibility. We also want to shift the "alternative" language, into something more mainstream...we will get there soon.
Our Soulshape mission
Our mission is to be a lighthouse along the journey. We want to shine the light on the opportunities to heal, grow, and thrive. Our intention is to create a wellness community marketplace that is built from the heart in service to others and are guided by our core values.

Our Soulshape team
The Soulshape team is lead by two sisters, Leslie and Laura. Together they have a shared vision: to be that reached-out hand on someone's journey by making the healing practitioners on Soulshape accessible and easy to find. They view each day as an opportunity to brighten someone else's day by connecting people to heal, grow, and be more of themselves.
Working together on Soulshape has been a dream come true for both women who have come together having had successful careers in other industries. They are adventuring into the wellness tech arena together. Their complimentary skills are ideal to create and build Soulshape.
Leslie is the founder, creator, and developer of Soulshape. She is a 20-year pharmaceutical executive specializing in global regulatory affairs and has a legal background. She jumps into every project with passion and direction. She is proud to call herself a full-time spiritual entrepreneur dedicated to successfully launching Souljym and Soulshape.
Laura is the creative director of Soulshape. She has a nationally recognized background as a passionate theatre professional with over 16 years' experience producing and directing high quality children's theater productions. Laura brings her motivating theatrical background to building Soulshape and wanting to share stories of everyone's Soulshape experience.

Allow wisdom and growth
We stimulate wisdom through conscious listening. By leaning into the discomfort of the unknown, we prioritize our perpetual curiosity. Our passion is fueled through the consistent expansion of our existing knowledge. Every situation offers a new opportunity to grow.
Communicate with integrity
Our actions are guided by integrity and free from judgment. We communicate and build relationships from a place of honesty, transparency, and compassion while always honoring our truth. Our priority is to treat everyone with respect and compassion.

We strive for positive momentum over scattered action. We ensure that our goals are both aligned and well communicated before we act. When new opportunities arise, we check in with our heart before our head to guarantee alignment with our purpose.

Led by Sergeant Rensin (Bookeem Woodbine; Spider-Man: Homecoming), the paratroopers' official mission is to destroy a radio tower in an old church located in Nazi-occupied Germany. After their plane is shot down before they reach their target, the survivors reassemble. They include Corporal Ford (Wyatt Russell; 22 Jump Street), Boyce (Jovan Adepo; Fences), Tibbet (John Magaro; The Big Short), Chase (Iain De Caestecker; Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), and Dawson (Jacob Anderson; Game of Thrones). As the team sets out on their mission, they quickly lose Dawson and now the quartet needs to carry this highly dangerous task on their own. Once they reach the village where the radio is located, they soon discover that this is no run-of-the-mill task as something quite nefarious in the form of various Nazi experimentations, is taking place, which adds a whole other layer to this already complicated situation.
The village is "ground zero" for the team - for not only their original mission but now the mission to save this village and destroy the evil laboratory with its horrific goings-on. During all of this, they also find Rosenfeld (Dominic Applewhite; The King's Speech), another paratrooper who had been captured by the Nazis. Working together, along with the help of a village girl named Chloe (Mathilde Ollivier; The Misfortunes of Francois Jane) they complete both of their missions, but not after losing more of their team members and covering up the truth about what they encountered in that church.
When J.J. Abrams is producing, you know you are always in for a quality production and Overlord delivers. From a highly improbable plot that somehow seems to work to a solid cast and excellent special effects, this film is a high energy ride from start to finish. The 4K Dolby Vision video quality is the perfect vehicle for this venture because the gore and special effects are so well done that they seem incredibly realistic in this format (despite lots of green screen used to create the background). The Dolby Atmos audio is also exceptional with depth, range, and sounds aurally assaulting the viewer from all sides.
Extras included in this bundle (on the Blu-ray) are the following: Creation: An overall discussion of all the parts that went into the making of the film including casting, crew, the script, training, set design and more. Death Above: A closer look into the film's opening scenes. Death on the Ground: A look at what went into creating and setting the tone for the beginning of the film, Death Below: This feature focuses on key locations of the film, such as the "underworld", production design and bringing the War and Fantasy/Horror film genres together for the story. Death No More: A look at the special effects for the film, including practical effects and props and Brothers in Arms: This feature takes focuses on the talents of Julius Avery direction and J.J. Abrams and the contributions of both to the film.
With a "video game" feel, Overload takes a World War II theme and mixes it with a science fiction element to create something unique and unexpected. For this reason alone it is worth a watch but add to it the production values and you have something really special. While I will admit it wasn't my cup of tea (horror and gore aren't my kind of "thing") and the plot does have some lulls not to mention the unresolved love story at the end, the film has its merits and I can easily see it becoming a cult classic. Buy it and decide if you agree!

The ‘Fancy’ hitmaker is revealed as one of the female contestants for the new ABC reality show which will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton.
AceShowbiz –Iggy Azalea has signed up for “The Celebrity Dating Game“.
The rapper will appear alongside former “The Bachelorette” star Hannah Brown and Broadway’s Taye Diggs as the first contestants for the new ABC reality show, which will be hosted by Zooey Deschanel and Michael Bolton.
Describing the programme, network officials said, “The Celebrity Dating Game offers a wry wink at modern dating with a star-studded roster of celebrity singles from television, music, comedy, reality TV and feature film in their pursuit to find love.”
ABC teased that the series offers “the same iconic feel as the original classic dating show.”
Each episode will see two celebrities each picking a suitor – based on their responses to various questions – from a hidden panel of three potential partners.
However, the hopeful romantics don’t know the identity of the celebrity and they’ll have to guess through clues given as “parody song performances” by Michael.
The casting was revealed two weeks after Iggy Azalea shared screenshots of her own Instagram DMs. She unveiled many sexual messages, a marriage proposal, and a cash offer to talk to one mystery celebrity.
“I’ll pay you for your time,” one of her admirers wrote. “I’ll give you 15k just to speak to me and have a conversation. Over the phone or on here. I’ll Cash App the money.”
Iggy blurred out the names of the senders to keep their identities under wraps, but left the verified ticks next to their names and their follower counts visible – showing that they were all from profiles of big stars.

Just by singling out a competitive domain, you can tell the difference between campaign filler and the keyword/copy combinations that will bring you conversions.
How is it different from SpyFu Main?
The immediate results show you the current landscape for this domain.
- What are they doing now?
- How much are they spending this month?
- How many clicks do they get currently?
Knowing their latest stats and habits allows you to strategically bid against them and advertise on competitive keywords.
How do you improve on that?
Instead of expanding to broad information on the domain’s SEO keywords, content, etc., we’re diving deeper into their most profitable ads and keywords. SpyFu’s Ad History takes everything you have come to rely on for competitive intelligence — and packs it with more informative layers of proof and testimonials. From the results page that opened when you typed your domain into the search bar, just scroll down to the domain’s “Most Profitable Ads and Keywords.”
End the confusion of determining the most actionable keywords…
Now instead of seeing the keywords a domain advertises on today, you get the keywords they have had in their lineup during the last 6 years. This history opens the door to understanding the keywords and ad copy combinations that the domain relies upon most in its campaign.
You also spot keywords that lasted just a short while so that you can learn what fell flat and avoid wasting your money on those terms. This makes it clear which direction to follow.
Just one clicks gives you the exact ads that each keyword triggered so that the keyword-to-copy connections are instantaneous. This is important because the right ad copy for a keyword delivers conversions that make all of this worth your while. And if you’re not going to do it right, you might as well not do it at all.

How much would you expect to pay to join a club that gives you year-round discounts of 10% to 20% on some of Victoria’s best hotel rooms, spa and hair-salon services, restaurant meals, purchases of fresh flowers, rounds of golf, whale-watching tours, and more? How about . . . no fee at all?

New partners are being added regularly, and you’ll be e-mailed a monthly newsletter with specials available only to Friends of the Empress. The part that amazes me is that all discounts are offered to locals year-round, not just in the off-season when tourist visitation declines.
(The Fine Print: “All benefits are based on availability and may not be combined with other promotions or specials. Restrictions may apply to special events; please ask for details at time of reservation. Reservations recommended for all services.”)
Here is the list of bargains I now have access to as a member of Friends of the Empress:

- 15% off spa treatments at the hotel’s Willow Stream Spa, Sundays thru Thursdays, and 10% off any retail product at the spa.

- 15% off souvenirs and other merchandise in The Fairmont Store.
AT PARTNER BUSINESSES
- 20% off at Five Star Whale Watching (www.5starwhales.com).

- 20% off services and 10% off retail product at Fiorio Hair Salon (www.fiorio.com).
- 20% off guided tours of the Empress Hotel by Walkabout Historical Tours (250-592-9255; www.walkabouts.ca). I’ve done this tour and it’s very affordable and entertaining.

Trusting a Nazi with Anger Issues
I enjoyed this movie on many levels, particularly the acting, cinematography and directing. The story was suspenseful, but there are some problems. Spoilers (maybe). I couldn't understand how the police could believe a Nazi (supposedly former) with severe megalomania issues, which he proudly publishes in a book over a well-adjusted and respected career woman. He even praises the virtues of violence as a means to humankind's evolution. She points this out, but the police waive her off with pseudo psychology about it all being a bad dream. Then again, this was the 50's and maybe they did value even this guy's warped mind over a career woman's (or any woman's) opinions. So much, in fact, they readily classify her as the crazy one. Maybe that was the subversive theme here, although, sadly, I think it was just a reflection of the times.
response to giorgio
Giorgio, you would do well to watch Rear Window again.
WITNESS TO MURDER
JUST WATCHED THIS FLICK, THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF CAR SHE WAS DRIVING IN THIS MOVIE.
Better Than Rear Window
Great film,loved Barbara and George combo.
- David Herdendorf
I have watched a lot of old black and white crime movies. When Watching them, I like to see who is in the movies that I have seen before. I wish they could bring back some of these old movies as a regular series. The movies deserve a lot more viewing than they get. Please keep showing more of these movies.
film noir gem
Great cinamatography by John Alton. George Sanders and Barbara Stanwick are perfect. Very suspenseful.
- Jarrod McDonald
Great use of Los Angeles exteriors, especially the apartment buildings and high rise development. Also, the interactions between Stanwyck and her costars are excellent. The roles are pretty much would you would expect for these actors: Stanwyck is tough; Sanders is cagey; and Merrill is dependable and likable. It's particularly fun to see Sanders and Stanwyck go toe to toe. There's one major plot hole: Sanders' character keeps the first letter he claims that she has sent him and turns it into the police along with the second letter he has composed on her typewriter. The second letter would definitely incriminate her, but the police would know that the first letter was typed on a different machine, unless Sanders re-typed it on Stanwyck's typewriter. We don't see that on-screen and so we are to assume that it's still the original letter he typed on his own typewriter at home.
Witness To Murder (1954)
- James Higgins
Fast paced little murder thriller enhanced very much by Barbara Stanwyck's presence and a solid supporting cast. Fast pacing helps, the score is a little much at times. Good photography and screenplay.
Right up there with Rear Window.
This movie is about Barbra Stanwyck witnessing a murder from her apartment, no one will believe her. Barbra is great as usual and George Sanders plays a creep.I would like this movie to be better known and maybe(please oh please)a DVD release.It's on TCM on January 12 check it out, you won't be disappointed.

My 1500lb Escape Artist
Someone was not where he was supposed to be at feeding time this morning...
|LoveStory10 ||09-05-2010 10:31 AM |
Lol! He decided he was bored, and went for a morning walk! Ah you gotta love them...
|mbender ||09-05-2010 10:39 AM |
You were just not fast enough, he almost had to wait to be fed. :lol: **** maid! When this happens to me,,, I laugh and talk to my escapee. For some reason they stay quite close anyway. Its cute how you just take his picture. Your like me... just take your time and as long as you know he is safe you know you'll eventually get him back in. love it!
|ShutUpJoe ||09-05-2010 10:43 AM |
Ha ha! He's like I'm free I'm free
|omgpink ||09-05-2010 10:48 AM |
ahaha that is great! Just made my day :D
|Jake and Dai ||09-05-2010 10:59 AM |
He has gotten out two other times in the 4 years I've had him, but we have such a big back yard with a lot of grass so he never wanders. I do have to secure the fencing better though as I've been lucky so far that he keeps to the back. He will wander in to the neighbors back yard and leave some free fertilizer. Thank goodness my neighbors love him...they don't mind and he doesn't destroy anything.
|My2Geldings ||09-05-2010 12:54 PM |
Absolutely hilarious! what a brat! how does he get out? does he open the gate, or jump over?
|Jake and Dai ||09-05-2010 03:57 PM |
I'm not sure my mammoth beast can jump LOL. We have split rail by the barn door, most of the 7 acre pasture is hotwire but right around the barn there is split rail the previous owner put in to make it look nice. Which it does.
Jake just pushes down the top rail and steps over the bottom 2.
I have to say...when I first saw him this morning he was grazing by the tall tree to the right of the pond. He literally glowed in the morning light. Hence I grabbed my phone to take a pic. But he saw me, knew he was busted and went running for the barn.
He is a character!
Fly me pretty, be freeeeee!!! LOL
|Solon ||09-05-2010 07:15 PM |
That's so cute! Well, not that he got away..... But that he knew he'd gotten caught. Little stinker! Beautiful horse!

Here are the team's first round selections:
2. Portland - Darlington Nagbe, F, Akron. Timbers cannot believe their good fortune to get the player they wanted all along. And they did it without making a trade. This draft is already a winner for the team.
3. D.C. United - Perry Kitchen, D/M, Akron. After the disastrous 2010 season, D.C. United needs help everywhere. Kitchen's versatility will give D.C. United some options on the field.
4. Chivas USA - Zarek Valentin, D, Akron. The Zips' invitational continues. Valentin fits into new coach Robin Fraser's defensive mentality.
5. Philadelphia - Zack MacMath, GK, Maryland. Union ready to give MacMath a chance after dumping Chris Seitz.
6. New England - A.J. Soares, D, California. Soares produced a solid performance at the MLS combine and he is going to get playing time on a team that allowed a league-high 50 goals.
7. Houston - Kofi Sarkodie, D, Akron. Gives Dynamo speed and quickness at right fullback. Sarkodie scored eight goals and had six assists, an amazing number for a defender.
8. Vancouver (from Toronto) - Michael Nanchoff, M, Akron. Nanchoff was injured and didn't participate in the combine, but his body of work impressed scouts. But some people wonder if he can make an impact without playing on a star-studded team.
9. Chicago - Jalil Anibaba, D, North Carolina. Voted as most valuable player at combine.
10. Sporting Kansas City - C.J. Sapong, F, James Madison. Scored a career-high 12 goals and had nine assists in 2010. Big (6-foot-1, 185-pound) and fast forward.
11. Houston (from Portland in draft-day trade). Will Bruin, F, Indiana. Big forward who scored 18 goals in 2010. He'll be a nice addition to veteran Brian Ching.
12. Columbus - Rich Balchan, M, Indiana. Rebuilding Crew lost quite a bit in all areas, especially at midfielder.
13. New York - Corey Hertzog, F, Penn State. With the departure of Juan Pablo Angel and youthfulness of Juan Agudelo, Red Bulls needed a forward. Plus, he'll learn a lot form Thierry Henry.
14. Chivas USA (from Real Salt Lake). Victor Estupinan, F, Ecuador. This guy impressed a lot of people after the first day of games at the combine. He's the first international to be selected.
15. Columbus (from San Jose) - Justin Meram, F, Michigan. Crew scouts had plenty of chances to watch forward who scored 17 goals and had eight assists in 2010. Led Wolverines to College Cup.
16. L.A. Galaxy - Paolo Cardozo, M, Uruguay. Another international who opened a few eyes at the combine, but few people had heard of him. Galaxy take a chance on a relative unknown.
17. FC Dallas - Bobby Warshaw, D, Stanford. Three-time All-Pac-10 first team selection.
18. Colorado - Eddie Ababio, D, North Carolina. Right back at North Carolina looked very strong at the combine. Some scouts thought he was a little erratic, but there's no denying his speed and ability to move forward.
19. Vancouver - Jeb Brovsky, M, Notre Dame. Tough and gritty player showed his ability at combine.
20. Seattle (from Portland) - Michael Tetteh, M, UC- Santa Barbara. Last of the Generation Adidas players to be selected.
21. Seattle - Juan Leone Cruz, D, Southern Methodist.
22. Portland - Chris Taylor, D, Tulsa. - Timbers continue to stock up on defenders, though I'm not sure this kid can break through.
23. Philadelphia - Michael Farfan, M, North Carolina. Many expected Farfan to go much higher.
24. New England - Stephen McCarthy, M, North Carolina. Not sure what's the deal with the Tar Heel midfielders dropping so far down the list.
25. New York (from Houston) - John Rooney, M, unattached. This Rooney is anxious to break away from his famous brother and make a name for himself. He'll get his chance playing in New York.
26. Toronto - Demitrius Omphroy, D, California.
27. Seattle - Servando Carrasco, M, California. A defensive midfielder.
28. Columbus - Cole Grossman, M, Duke.
29. Seattle - Bryan Meredith, GK, Monmouth. sounders will need a goalkeeper with Kasey Keller set to retire after 2011 season. Meredith attended Sounders' combine in Las Vegas.
30. New York - Tyler Lassiter, D, North Carolina.
31. D.C. United - Chris Korb, D, Akron.
32. Sporting Kansas City - J.T. Murray, D, Louisville.
33. San Jose - Anthony Ampaipitakwong, M, Akron. One of the orchestrators of the Akron attack, but had a poor showing at the combine and his size 5-8 source of concern.
34. L.A. Galaxy - Hector Jimenez, M/F, California. Will likely play at midfielder for Galaxy, maybe as heir apparent to David Beckham.
35. FC Dallas - Charlie Campbell, M, Louisville.
36. Colorado - Colin Givens, D, Michigan State.
37. Vancouver - Bilal Duckett, D, Notre Dame. Big and rangy fullback displayed good one-on-one defensive qualities at combine.
38. New York - Billy Cortes, M, Maryland.
39. New England - Steven Perry, F, Notre Dame.
40. Chivas USA - Jon Okafor, M, Brown University. Played midfield in college, but expected to move to defense in MLS.
41. Philadelphia - Levi Houapeu, F, Univ. of Maryland-Baltimore County.
42. New England - Ryan Kinne, M/F, Monmouth. Scouts questioned his numbers because of playing at small school and suspect conference.
43. Toronto - Matt Gold, D, Ohio State.
44. Toronto - Junior Burgos, M, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.
45. Chicago - Jason Herrick, F, Maryland.
46. Sporting Kansas City - Konrad Warzycha, M, Ohio State. Son of Columbus coach Robert Warzycha.
47. Seattle - Alex Caskey, M, Davidson.
48. Columbus - Bernardo Anor, F, South Florida.
49. Toronto - Joao Plata, M, Ecuador. Many thought he would go much higher after his eye-opening performance at combine. But his height (5-4) may have worked against him.
50. D.C. United - Joe Willis, GK, University of Denver. Apparently D.C. hedging bets with veteran Steve Cronin and youngster Bill Hamid.
51. Chicago - Davis Paul, F, California.
52. Real Salt Lake - Jarad Van Schaik, M, University of Portland. He'll have a buddy (former UP midfielder Collen Warner) already on the roster.
53. FC Dallas - Scott Gordon, D, Lynn University.
54. New England - Alan Kroger, F, Willliam & Mary.

STUART - What happens when a child is dropped off at summer camp without a lunch? What if they're coming to an after-school program without a snack?
Before this summer, the more than 2,000 members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County had to make do with a small snack. Now, thanks to a new grant from the WalMart Foundation, their bellies will be full.
Since July of this year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County has been providing meals and healthy snacks to Club members at our Indiantown, Port Salerno and East Stuart branches. The Clubs received an $18,000 grant from the WalMart Foundation through the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
So far, the Summer Food Program provided over 1,800 breakfasts, 11,800 lunches and 18,000 healthy snacks to youth in Martin County during our summer camp. In all, the Clubs served over 13,000 meals – and they're only halfway through the grant.
"We are grateful for the support of WalMart, which provided the funds necessary to provide the healthy meals and snacks our community's children need every day," said Anne McCormick, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County. "With proper nutrition, positive role models and a safe place with a proven curriculum, these children will be able to reach their full potential."
The Clubs also partner with House of Hope and the Treasure Coast Food Bank to provide supplemental nutrition for families. Known fondly as the "backpack program," these collaborating agencies offer free bags of food for the weekends.
However, many children were still hungry throughout the day. That's where the WalMart grant was so helpful.
"Without these funds, our Club staff had to be creative to get children the meals they needed," McCormick said. "Now these children are guaranteed healthy, filling meals for free."
Membership for children ages 6 to 18 are still available for the Club's after-school program, which costs just $25 for the entire school year. To learn more or schedule a tour, log on to www.bgcmartin.org or call (772) 545-1255.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County strives to enable and inspire all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as responsible, caring and productive citizens.

Halstead is pulling out all the stops to defend its top position as overall winner of the Anglia in Bloom competition.
Halstead in Bloom – which has been responsible for florally decorating the town for the last 14 years – is putting the finishing touches to its displays.
Last year, the town was awarded the gold standard, best town, best overall entry and named as the winner of the Anglia in Bloom trophy.
Anglia in Bloom judges return on Thursday, July 24 – and the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Britain in Bloom judges will be out judging on Monday, July 28.
Halstead in Bloom secretary Julia Smith said around 200 volunteers help to keep the town looking good.
“We started in 2000 by holding a public meeting and 40 people came along from which we were able to create a core committee of 12 people,” she said.
“Over the years, it has just grown and grown because people can see the benefits to the town and they want it to look good.”
Five years ago, the group – which has its own website at www.halsteadinbloom.org.uk and its own Faceboook page – set up an irrigation system at the bottom of the town in order to water the hanging baskets and tubs around the bridge, down The Causeway and along by the Solar Superstone in Weavers Court using water from the river.
To mark Britain in Bloom’s 50th anniversary this year, Halstead will stage a River of Gold floral display, using all gold and yellow flowers across the bridge.

Studies continue to suggest that in utero exposure to pollution can raise the risk of autism
Inflammation and unhealthy clotting factors decreased in Beijing as pollution levels dropped during the 2008 Olympic Games. In order to maintain that trend, a researcher has some advice: drive less.
Last month, a Swedish study made a splash when it found that couples in which one partner commutes a long way to work (more than 45 mins.) are 40% more likely to divorce than couples who don’t have to travel so far for their jobs.

It’s not really much like a beauty pageant. It’s certainly not a talent competition. There is no scholarship offered, so it can’t fake it like so many Barbie parades are relabeling themselves recently.
Three young women got on stage at the Lion’s Lair (2022 E. Colfax, Denver) Sunday and put on a show for the audience as well as a panel of three unqualified judges. They came in character, representing contestants who were sexy, funny, or really quite disturbing.
The idea began with just enough whiskey only six days prior to the event. Burlesque performer Dixie DeeCupz got drunk at the Lion’s Lair with artist and contestant Misery Vongorenkunt. They wanted to add a performance piece to the Lion’s Lair’s June 6 art show and concert.
Misery really wanted something to get the audience involved.
“It’s basically a pageant for hecklers to enjoy,” she said.
Dixie just wanted to see hot girls strutting on stage. And boobs. She felt the bar could use more boobs on display.
They worked quickly with Mikey Hardluck, who tends bar at the Lair when he is not booking and promoting shows. He got to work recruiting contestants and judges.
Soon Chuck Beefer was involved as an MC. Beefer is best known for his work on the upcoming less than low budget grindhouse feature Hot Lead, Hard Fury.
A couple contestants committed, then a few judges. Dixie and Misery soon realized too many people were involved for them to back out, so they pushed ahead with the plans.
While the judges didn’t have a lot of experience in their roles (Sid Pink got his position because his doomed marriage began on 6/6/06, which made him feel entitled to a seat on the panel), they took their positions seriously.
Mr. Pink was specifically looking at contestants for: “Evil. And height. 72 inches minimum!”
Mr. Pink stands 5’7” in good heals.
But the women had their own objectives. Satan’s Little Monkey was clear on her objectives. “I’m hoping to win. And transmit disease.”
Both were achievable goals. She took the stage and immediately began spitting blood on nearby judges. She would later plant bloody kisses on each judge and Chuck Beefer.
The Little Monkey was not the only one to add generous portions of red corn syrup to her wardrobe. Misery soaked her upper body with the horror effects staple. To avoid a mess within the bar, she had Dixie douse her with a full cup of the stuff in a Colfax alley. Passersby did not seem to react to the young woman walking back to the bar in a corset dripping with blood.
Jiji Deluge was the lone contestant not to make use of Red Dye #5 in a syrup base.
The structure was loose. Competitions began with a psychic challenge. There were some questions from judges. Misery Vongorenkunt launched into a monologue in what we can only guess was a mix of Eastern European accents. Jiji took off her clothes.
Despite the ample skin shown, the blood displayed, and the evil skills employed; the judges would not grant any contestant more than six out of ten points.
All three judges gave all three contestants a score of six.
Due their inability to elevate one over the other, the organizers will turn to the audience for a vote at the June 6 event. Be at the Lion’s Lair that night to cast your vote. Each contestant will be there, appealing directly to the audience for support.
Your vote does matter! The winner will attend various events throughout the year as the crowned Mistress Six Six Six. She’ll also serve on the judges’ panel next year. Perhaps she can make a decision when the men predictably fail.
While you’re waiting for the final tally, check out original art from over 17 local artists and bounce to some punkish hillbilly music.
Cover charge is, of course, six dollars.
Author’s note: all names used in this article are obviously stage names to protect the good reputations of all involved.

How High Can They Climb?
At this point in the NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers are fighting for home-court advantage in the 2014 playoffs. The team hasn’t been to the postseason since 2011, and the question is: Do they need home-court advantage to make the second round for the first time since 2000?
As of April 10 at 12:00 a.m. PT, here’s how the standings look in the brutally tough Western Conference:
- San Antonio Spurs (60-18)
- Oklahoma City Thunder (57-21)
- Los Angeles Clippers (55-24)
- Houston Rockets (52-26)
- Portland Trail Blazers (51-28)
- Golden State Warriors (48-29)
- Dallas Mavericks (48-31)
- Phoenix Suns (47-31)
At this point, home-court advantage looks like a pipe dream. The Houston Rockets have a one-and-a-half-game lead over Portland for fourth, but more importantly, the schedule favors Clutch City more than it does Rip City with one week to go.
To clarify: Since Houston lost tonight, Portland has to win tonight & their next 3. HOU would have to drop 3 of their last 4 for POR to jump
— Erik Gundersen (@blazerbanter) April 10, 2014
With three games remaining in Portland’s schedule, the team’s biggest competition when it comes to seeding is the Golden State Warriors. The team from Oakland started the year with injuries and letdowns, but a strong finish has helped it move up the rankings, opposite the path Portland has taken throughout the season (for the most part).
Golden State also has a friendlier schedule than Portland down the stretch.
As it turns out, the Blazers and Warriors face off on Sunday, April 13, in what should be the most important contest of the year for both organizations. The winner of that matchup has a very real chance of earning fifth place in the conference, earning a matchup against the Rockets in Round 1 of the postseason.
Neither the Blazers nor the Warriors have a great chance at taking over fourth, but matchups are everything this time of year. Although Houston is flooded with talent such as Dwight Howard, James Harden and Chandler Parsons, the team looks a bit more vulnerable than it did just a few weeks back following the injury to Patrick Beverly.
Despite being a bad match for Portland all year, Houston has become a bit less dangerous sans its best perimeter defender. Combine that with the fact that neither Harden nor Jeremy Lin can defend the perimeter, and scoring guards such as Damian Lillard and Stephen Curry have a big-time advantage.
If Portland is able to take down the Warriors on April 13, give it the fifth seed (most likely). Unfortunately, a loss pushes them out of fifth and into sixth, which is a very real possibility.
Luckily for the Blazers, the sixth seed earns them a series with the Los Angeles Clippers, and while L.A. has gotten deeper since the trade deadline, their three faceoffs thus far have been extremely competitive. These two teams play in the very last game of the regular season, and chances are, they will see each other just a few days later in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

So Halcro, cabby and others. Seriously now what are you going to say if the bcsc approves say 5-6m oz at a good grade say(3.5 gp/t) plus over a wide area? Lets say they have gone very conservatively in a number of areas with cut offs etc. I am sure they will have a large potential included in their est. as well. My point is what can you say then if its passed?
Out of work? Or your phase 2 of talking about how it's going to cost so much to put into production and bgm needs to drill more cost more? Frank not the right guy etc?
i am just curious as you must have plan b just waiting in the wings for your next round of tactics.

Yet the ministry still lacks the authority to force big state-owned enterprises and local governments to toe the line.
Excessive pollution levels have already prompted the Beijing government to roll out a series of temporary emergency measures such as shutting down 103 heavily polluting factories and taking 30 percent of government vehicles off roads, but the capital’s air has remained hazardous.
It remains unclear whether Xi will restrain the influence of the oil firms, but with public anger rising, and with a normally compliant media joining in the calls for action, political pressure is growing.
The problem for oil firms such as PetroChina and Sinopec is that central planners set prices at the pump, even when global energy costs remain high.
Tang said both CNPC and Sinopec have told the ministry that they would have supplied the fuels “if they had gotten a reasonable price.”
With no supply of cleaner diesel fuel, Beijing had to delay the implementation of the China IV emission standard for diesel trucks and buses twice — first in 2011 and then last year, when it was extended to July this year.
The new standard aims to cut emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides — two key components of urban smog — from trucks and buses by 80 percent and 30 percent respectively, said Vance Wagner, a senior researcher at the International Council on Clean Transportation.
In response, China’s Ministry of Finance has stepped in to negotiate preferential tax policies with the oil firms to help offset the higher costs of producing cleaner diesel fuel, people close to the environment ministry said.
Chinese media reported last week that new cleaner diesel fuel standards, similar to Euro IV standards that restrict sulfur content, could be issued soon in addition to the existing emissions standards.
However, even the new requirements,, could give oil companies a two-year window for full compliance.
Without intervention at a higher level, the delays are likely to go on.

Painting Pre Spring
“I remember a certain rawness to the vast Arizona landscape, yet it has an almost dreamlike quality because of the soft and neutral colours. There is a real sense of adventure and freedom about the place.”
The trip may have been years ago, but the memory of Arizona’s epic desert terrain remained etched in Matthew’s mind, ready to convey to the studio as the starting point for spring. The arid setting’s cacti and burnished sunset shades permeate each look, and the studio strove for a hyper-real likeness of the desert flowers. The scientific intricacy of photographer Karl Blossfeldt (1865–1932) inspired the team – his work captured an unprecedented magnified detail in flowers, with his groundbreaking camera that could magnify his subject by up to 30 times. Blossfeldt commented, “My botanical documents should reawaken a sense of nature, point to its teeming richness of form.” Reverting to paintbrush, pencil and palette, the studio took a similar aim, and spent hours perfecting the spike of a cacti or the colour of a petal in their hand-painted prints. Florals for spring may be an age-old fashion adage, but the seductively sinister cacti make a modern change from the blossoming bouquets of an English Country Garden. In another modern move, palm leaves are stripped back to their silhouettes in the botanical print, then played up in colour that would stand out even against the clay-red rugged mountains outside Phoenix. After winter’s cool climes of the Northern Lights, the wanderlust continues. Where next?

Airport security guard makes last-second catch of falling baby
POLAND — An airport security guard with some impressive reflexes saved a toddler from falling off a table while at a security checkpoint.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the guard caught the child with his fingertips just before the boy crashed onto the floor.
The boy had been placed on a table just behind an x-ray machine by his father who was collecting his belongings. The toddler leaned forward and fell off.
“I noticed the child was sitting on the table and he looked a bit off balance, and then he began to fall forward,” said Grzegorz Paczek, the guard who saved the boy. “I was standing four to five meters away and I realized I had no chance of stopping him fall so I just threw myself along the ground with my arms outstretched. It was an instinctive reaction.”
For his quick moves, Paczek was rewarded with a special Christmas bonus.

The color experts at Pantone have selected the color of the year for 2014: Radiant Orchid (Pantone 18-3224). With a blend of purple, pink and fuchsia, it was chosen to create intrigue, spark imagination and emanate warmth.
Last year, I shared ideas about how to incorporate the color of the year into your home décor with accents, because Emerald was a vibrant color choice. This year’s color, Radiant Orchid, is easier to incorporate, and you can use it for more than just an accent or two; Radiant Orchid can be a focal point in any room.
Here are some ways you can bring some of that intrigue and charm into your home with Pantone’s Radiant Orchid.
An accent wall can spruce up a living room, dining room or common area. Radiant Orchid can create warmth if you have dark furniture and bold lighting fixtures or it can create a cool environment if you have oak, white or wicker furniture and simplified lighting.
With the color of the year showing up in clothing, makeup and textiles, it’ll be easier than ever to find a couch, armchair or ottoman in varying shades of purple. You can make orchid-colored furniture a focal point in your room using coordinating pillows, lamps and other décor to tie the room together.
Area rugs and smaller accent rugs in shades of orchid can liven up a room that has seen the same furniture and layout for years. Find ones with geometric patterns, paisley, floral or damask designs and you’ll be able to add a splash of color and personality to neutral walls and traditional furniture.
You might prefer bedding where all of the pieces are a solid match, but a combination of purple, orchid and gray, whether in a solid or print, can create a calming environment for the bedroom. If you prefer a simpler duvet cover, you can incorporate decorative pillows in varying shades of purple to add a luxurious touch and make a bedding ensemble fit for royalty.
Whether your dining room table is oblong or round, a tablecloth, placemats or napkins in an amethyst or orchid shade can be the perfect backdrop for a Valentine’s dinner and take you all the way through Easter and springtime. Add a vase of lisianthus stems and crystal candlestick holders for a sophisticated touch.
Bath towels and hand towels in orchid and deeper shades of purple are appropriate for both men and women and can be coordinated with shower curtains, rugs and window treatments. When I was growing up, my aunt’s upstairs bathroom was entirely purple – paint and all – and it was magical. You don’t have to go all in; you can simply add a potted faux dendrobium or cymbidium orchid to the vanity countertop and a lilac-scented candle, and you’ve got yourself a makeshift spa right at home.
Radiant Orchid looks great with neutral colors, pastels and, naturally, variations of purple. Here are a few colors that coordinate well to help you design a warm or cool environment:
Do you plan on incorporating this year’s color of the year into your home décor? Let us know how you use Radiant Orchid to transform your living space!

Vatican City-Pope Benedict XVI made his first public appearance today, acknowledging the throngs of faithful from the balcony of the papal apartment. Amidst all the mutually heartfelt joy, though, came a bombshell-the Vatican is moving.
"For thousands of years, through countless times of war, famine, plague, and pestilence," said the official press release from Vatican.com, "the center of the Catholic Church, and the home of the holy father, has been the Vatican in Rome. Pope Benedictine wants to meet the challenges of the new millennium by making the Vatican more accessible to the faithful.
"Although the majority of the faithful now live in the southern hemisphere, the Pope is studying many locations throughout the world, and absolutely nothing has been eliminated, as of yet, from the list of possible cities."
"That may be true," said Peter Pellicules, "but there are only so many that will be able to meet our terms." Pellicules is the newly hired Senior Vice President of International Development for the Vatican. He most recently worked with the International Olympic Committee and was instrumental in selecting Salt Lake City for the 2002 winter games. "The recent death of Pope John Paul II illustrates the power of the Vatican itself to draw people to a city such as Rome. The value to the city, not only in terms of nearness and dearness of the Church itself, but to its economy simply cannot be overstated. In fact, it can hardly be put in to words."
"For example," Pellicules went on, "There were literally hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who came to Rome to view the body of our poor beloved ex-Pope. If every one of those pilgrims spent, say, only 100 Euros, then you have a "spike" in spending of tens of millions of Euros. And that's just when the Pope dies. Countless tourists visit the Vatican every year, spending millions upon millions of Euros.
"The Vatican itself is, inter alia, one of the World's most important museums. It is a feast for the eyes, and the soul, and is at the top of the list for nearly every traveler to Italy, and Europe in general."
"Having the Vatican embedded in your market is like having the World Cup one week, the World Series the next week, the Super Bowl the next week, and on and on and on. Whatever city eventually gains the favor of the Pope will have committed itself financially on a scale rarely, if ever, seen before," said Pellicules.
Cities such as Los Angeles and New York are clear favorites due to large populations of Catholics and tourists, and ease of international travel; however, smaller cities, such as Orlando, Florida are most definitely in the running. In fact, many "in-the-know" consider Las Vegas to be the dark-horse favorite, since Steve Winn, Sheldon Adelson and Kirk Kirkorian have recently, and hurriedly, converted to Catholicism.
The question naturally arises: what will become of the city state that we now know as the Vatican? This reporter put that question to Pellicules.
"There are several other nation-states that have the financial wherewithal to essentially ‘move' themselves to the land that has heretofore been known as 'The Vatican'," he said. "Some of the names that come to mind are Kuwait, Bahrain, Lichtenstein and Monaco. We plan to sublet it with a 99 year term."

"It's such a pity that the fans here can't see football at its best," he said after a first half filled with punts, penalties and repeated TV timeouts. ''It's obvious that the coaches can't be bothered about winning."
Alred knows the difference. A former British rugby star from Bristol, he said he had a brief tryout as a placekicker with the Minnesota Vikings 11 years ago. "I got hurt, and that was it for me," he said. Today, at 41, he's a secondary school teacher, and weekend placekicker for the Bristol Packers football team, which plays in Britain's semi-pro Budweiser League.
At a time when Britain's own national sports of soccer and cricket are in disrepute, Britain is potential prime territory for American football (London is to get a franchise in the NFL's proposed World American Football League).
Excerpts from American football games - fast, flashy and violent - have been aired for years on Britain's Channel 4, building an enthusiastic audience. This season, for the first time, the station will show full-length games the same day they're played. Really rabid fans of the American game can dial a 24-hour hotline to find out the latest game scores or listen to interviews with players.
Meanwhile, families stay away from soccer matches because they fear getting caught in battles between rival bands of hooligans. Cricket has gotten political - its top stars, in return for large cash payments, recently defected from the national team to play on an outlaw tour in South Africa.
But Alred and other football aficionados at the game worried that such inept performances as yesterday's American Bowl would drive new fans away.
"This is my first live game and I'm disappointed," said Alred's friend, fellow teacher Terry French, peering at the field some 70 rows below, partly obscured by pillars in between. "It's so static. I watch it all the time on Channel 4, but they cut out the boring bits."
During the boring bits last night, the crowd did the wave.
"We deserve better than this," said Alred. "Why play the first game of the exhibition season here? Why not the last exhibition game, when they've cut the roster down to 50 or so? Why do we get to see Randall Cunningham and Bernie Kosar for only one quarter?"
While the majority of fans at the game were British, there were thousands of Americans, such as Goldman Sachs stockbroker Jim Kelly, whose firm bought 200 seats and viewed the game as a sort of European version of the Super Bowl - a chance to score points with clients. "It's just a practice game; I didn't have high expectations," he said.
"The game was a bit slow in the first half, but picked up in the second half," said Paul Simmons, who works for Britain's social security agency and had seats on the 30-yard line. "I'd rate the overall experience as fabulous."
When Eagles wide receiver Henry "Gizmo" Williams made a lunging catch for a second-half touchdown and then did a flip, the crowd went wild, cheering louder than when a streaker ran onto the field.
"We know the Eagles in England; they've been on the telly three or four times," said Simmons. "I was really excited about seeing them because they're tipped (favored) for the Super Bowl. I'm just sorry Mike Quick or Reggie White didn't play."
London football fans even recall the Philadelphia Stars, the two-time champions of the defunct United States Football League. They played the Tampa Bay Bandits in Wembley in 1984. Philadelphia won that game, too.
Simmons said he could hardly wait until the NFL's new league starts play in Europe. "I'm definitely going to attend."
In the meantime, though, he said he was planning a fall trip to America. ''I'm going to L.A., and I plan to see both the Raiders and the Rams."

or medicine stone, says the Atlanta
Constitution. At the appointed hour
the beautiful gem was placed on the
table, inspected, and admired bj' all
present. Prof. Holmes then gave a
short description of tiie bez.oara found
in eastern countries, comparing" them
with those of Amoriop, or, more prop
erly, of South Carolina. TUc name
bezoar was, he said, derived from the
Persian yords "pa zahar," which sig
nifies, against poion. In the east
they are called medicine stones; in
Africa hag stones or charm stones.
The specimon exhibited on this occa
sion was about the size of. a large egg
of the domestic fowl, of a mottled yel
low color, with a tint of brown, having
its entire surface highly polished. The
olish is natural, caused by the action
the muscles of the stomach of the
animal upon each layer of mineral
matter deposited. :
With a veiy fine and highly tempered
saw it was then carefully cut lonjritudi
nally through the middle, which took
but a few minutes. During the cutting
some little excitement was evinced as
to what the nucleus or contents of the
stone would prove to be, which excite
ment was somewhat heightened when
it was announced that the cutting was
successfully accomplished. All pres
ent were invited to guess, but none
ventured. The two sides were kept in
contact for a minute or two' before ex
posing tlie interior. . ..
Prof. Holmes had intimated that the
nucleus would probably be of woody
fiber or vegetable character, as, on
shaking the stone, a rattling t noise
could be distinctly heard. He' Sup
posed this was caused bv shrinkage of
the nucleus, which oonli not have oc
curred if it had been a mineral substance.
. Unon oneninc the bezoar the nucleus
proved to be a Targe and perfect acorn,
which several gentlemen present im
mediately recognized as that of the
white oak Quercus Alba L. It was
covered by four layers of lamina: of a
mineral substance composed generally
cf phosphates and carbonate of lime
and iron and some silex. The mold of
the aeorn is very perfect, having all
the , external -markings of the fruit
There are to' impressions, apparently
made .by the teeth of the animal be-
lorc.swallovnng the nut. Acorns are
favorite lood or Carolina -deer. Dur
ing tho. autumnal months their tracks
are almost always to be found under
the oaks of tho forest winch have
This is the third specimen of a bezoar
that has been cut and examined by
Prof. Holmes, and, we believe, the only
ones ever dissected in America. The
nucleus found in the first bezoar was a
flattened ball or bifekshot, with a frag
ment of skin and a few Lairs. Tne
animal had undoubtedly been wounded
about six years before it was killed.
There were six layers of lamina; of
mineral matter surrounding the buck
shot. The second bezoar cut con
tained a pebble of quartz.
Dr. A. K. Alley saj-s: "These' .stones,
called mad-stones, are nothing .more or
less than a coner6tion found in the
stomachs of deers, which has been
carefully analyzed by scientific men of
the highest attainments. The said
stones or concretion are composed of
phosphate and carbonate cf lime and
iron and silex or silica, having no di
rect power or. affinity for extracting
loiscn. I wt!:d, iurther state a few
years ago that Prof. Holmes, of South
Carolfna, a noted scientist, in the pres
ence .of interested partio?, c-artsftflly
anil absolutely demonstrated tho truth
and virtue of this so-called mad-stone
lo be mythical, better known as bezoar,
being a Persian name diris-e4 from the
word pa-zauar, which signifies against
poisons, and no work ancient or mod
ern ott the subject differs. They all
agree that the, mad-stone is nothing
but the concretion found in the deer,
having no medicinal virtues."

cerning tho nature aud action, of qui
nineT lie found that by means of a series
of chemical transformations a substance
can bo obtained, in the form of a white
crystalline powder, from coal tar.which
greatly resembles quinine in its action
on the human organism. Fischer has
given it the name, of "kairin." Tho
chief effect produced by it, as yet ob
served, is the rapid dimunition of fever"
heat, and its efficiency in this respect is
described as" remarkable. It is believed
that it will render tho use of ice in fe
ver cases unnecessary, and that its
skillful employment "will enable tho
physician to moderate the temperature
of the patient. Kairin is also reported
to have less inconvenience for the stomach-
than quinine. But observatioii
does not,show as yet, at least that it
possefiseS that tonic anil restorative -influence
for which quinine is sc froqisent

. i; AEorgh Eat Story.
W. M. P.cad, of Bolivar, Tcnn., con
tributes the follow injr erini story to the
A few days ago quite a singular oc
currence happened on a farm owned by.
Mr. Wood, a medical practitioner here!
fa this vicinity. The occurrence wa3
not so very singular cither; no more'
than you see or hear of most every day
of our- lives, but the peculiar way in.
which it happened is .something novel.
We very often hear.of a person dying,
when lying down, .or prostrated in
some way, but we scarce, if ever heard
of one brVaihing his last when standing
erect, without a single support except
one b'nnd resting slightly upon a frail
object-, bv his sideT ITevcrthelcss, ho
passed ofYwith similar grace and ease
to join the silent hand, as ona who is
reclining upon the downiest couch. Cut
such is the case that happened on
the place above mentioned. A colored
man by the name of Andrew. Jackson
came to town, and on returning home
again, when parsing Mr. Wood s farm
he demanded of the' driver to let him
get, out -of the wagon. After,, getting
out he walked on toward the -dwelling.
On arriving there he inquired for the
doctor. He was told that he was away
but would be back in a short time. He
tlienaid that he would go on to the
barn whore lie Could lie down,, for., he
felt a little sick, and would come back
when the doctor returned. Nothing
more was thought about it until that
night, when the lad who was employed '
in ieeaing the stock went into the .sta
ble as usual, to go through with the
routine of his duties, but upon entering
he became aware that he was not the
only occupant. A man Btood directly
in front of him. The boy spoke to hint
but receiving no roply, lie turned and
fled to Ihc'hou&c to acquaint his master
of the. facts. They .both returned
with a light, so they could easily dis
cover the motives of the intruder. Lit
tle did they think that tho man was a
corpse, standing there like a statue,
until they had approached quite close
to him with the glaring light falling
full upon his distorted" features, one
hand resting on the fodder racks ahd.
hat poised on one side of his head. He
never stood more erect in his life. Of
course ,it was not a pleasant picture to
look tipon, so thr .doctor and youth
backed unmolested out of the doer,
quietly retraced their steps to the house
and dispatched. -for the coroner, who
did not arrive till about midnight. A
post mortem examination took place in
which the jurymen were piuTed to
know whether the deceased had met
his death by rats, or otherwise, for dur
ing the interim the rats had clambered
up tho dead man's legs and thence to
his shoulders, where the rapacious ver
min began to mitigate their carnal de
sires b3r iirst taking oft" his ears, then
his nose and lastly his lips. Of course
this lelt thu face destitute of three of
the most prominent features. You can
imagine that he did not look.much like
a human being. No wonder the jury
men felt a little nmsasy when they en
tered the stable' door and saw a jnan
before them without either ear., nose
or lips, aud'tocth showing like that of
a grinning cur. The decision Of the
jury vas soon rendered, and read as
tollowj?; "Uncertain wither the man

What is the Garm-Theory of Disaas?.
Scourges of the human raco and dis
eases are attributed by savages to the
influence of evil spirits. - Extremes of
ten meet 'What human intelligence
suspected in its first d'Mvn has been veri
fied by human intelligence in its highest
development Again, we haye come to
the belief of evil spirits in disease, but
these destroyers have now; assumed a
tangible shape. Instead of tho mere
passive, unwitting efforts with which
we have hitherto resisted them, wo now
begin to fight.them in their own domain
with all tho .r-sources of our intellect
For they are ho longer invisible creaturos
of our own imagination, but- with thtit
omnipotent instrument, the microscope,
we can see and identify them as living
beings,, of dimensions on the present
verge of visibility. The study pi these
minute foes- constitute the germ-theory.
This.germ-thcory of disease is rising

How do magnets work?
- Marsha Borski (age 9)
That’s an excellent question.
Try the following experiment with a magnet, some needles (the plain kind used to hold stuff together as you sew it), and a screwdriver. It will help you understand the explanation.
Touch a needle with a screwdriver and nothing unusual should happen (unless the screwdriver is already magnetized). Now, take some of the needles and hold them against the end of a magnet for a while (the stronger the better). After doing this, you will have turned each needle into a little magnet, and when you touch them with a screwdriver they will stick to it.
Some kinds of metals (like steel that the needles are made of) are made up of billions and billions of individual atoms that each have the properties of a microscopic magnet. The atoms in steel naturally tend to get together in tiny little groups called domains, and within each domain the atoms tend to point in the same direction, which makes the domains behave like a tiny little bar magnets just like the kind you have probably played with at school. The needle of a compass is also a bar magnet, and we know what this does: it points north because it likes to line itself up with the magnetic field of the earth.
When you make a piece of steel (like a needle), all of the tiny domain-magnets inside tend to get stuck pointing in different directions, which means that they more or less cancel each-other out, so to begin with the needle does not behave much like a magnet at all.
However, if you bring the needle close to another magnet of some kind, (like the ones on your fridge, or better yet some stronger ones you can find in your classroom) something interesting can happen: Because of the other magnet you are holding it near, the little domain magnets in your needle will tend to line up so that they are pointing along the same direction. (You can visualize this by holding two bar magnets near each other and noticing how they like to line up a certain way). The domains in the needle will do the same thing, and after you take the needle away from the other magnet, the domains in the needle will tend to stay pointing this way (they sort of get stuck pointing in the same direction). Now, since you have lots of these little domain magnets in the needle all pointing in the same direction, the needle will itself have become a small magnet. (This is exactly how bar magnets are made).
Magnets attract other magnets (as you can see), and also attract some kinds of metal like many kinds of steel. If you touch your magnetic needle with a steel screwdriver it will stick. However, stainless steel is not a very good magnetic material, so if you touch your magnetic needle with something made of stainless steel it will probably not stick (try it).

Follow-Up #1: why not more magnets?
I need a more in-depth answer to Marsha’s question. I know that natural magnets have magnetic fields becuase of the electrons moving aroung inside thier atoms(while electric fields are present so are magnetic fields), but why then doenst matter like water and tree bark have natural magnetism if they also have electrons inside thier atons?
In most materials almost all the electrons form pairs, with the magnetism from the two paired electrons exactly canceling. The result ultimately is due to something called the Pauli exclusion principle, which says that no more than one electron can exist in any particular quantum state. So if there's some nice low-energy state waveform for an electron to sit in in some molecule, it tends to get two electrons for the two possible quantum states with that form: one spin up, the other spin down.
This very fact is the origin of most of the properties of chemical bonding. Remember how a typical covalent bond consists of two shared electrons? The reason is the exclusion principle plus spin. In ionic bonds, typically one electron will mostly move from one atom with an odd number of electrons over to another atom with an odd number, leaving each with an even number.
So the tendency of most materials not to be magnetic is closely tied to the same quantum mechanical facts which account for the prevalence of pair-bonds and ionic bonds in chemistry.
(published on 10/22/2007)
Follow-Up #2: sad truth
why are most materials non-magnetic? (no quantum physics please!)
- ivan brown (age 13)
Newport, Wales, Britain
Ivan- I sympathize with your question, but the sad fact is that there’s absolutely nothing honest one can say about the origin of magnetism in materials without using a quantum mechanical basis. Sorry.
(published on 10/22/2007)
Follow-Up #3: pauli exclusion principle
what is pauli exclusion principle?
- starlai (age 18)
It states that for particles called ’fermions’, including electrons, protons, neutrons, etc., no two particles can be in exactly the same quantum state. There must be something different about them, either that they’re in different places or have different spins or something. There’s another class of particles, called ’bosons’, including photons, for which this principle does not apply.
(published on 10/22/2007)
Follow-Up #4: non-magnetic trees
i cant exactly get the answer of why magnets has no effect in trees example where infact it has also an electron inside thier atoms... please expain it in a simle way for me thanks!
- lai (age 18)
The basic reason is that almost every electron is paired up with one other one that is in the same state except that it is spinning the opposite way. (see the Pauli exclusion answer above) That means that the magnetism of the two just cancels.
In leaves, however, as photosynthesis occurs some electrons get shuttled around individually as part of the light-driven chemical process. So their magnetism isn't automatically canceled, and magnetic resonance signals from them can be measured.
(published on 10/22/2007)
Follow-Up #5: domain interactions
Do domains work agnaist each other
I think what you're asking is whether the forces between magnetic domains push them toward pointing opposite ways. That actually depends on whether the domains are side-by-side or end-to-end. If you picture the domains as little arrows pointing up or down, side-by-side ones tend to point opposite directions but end-to-end ones tend to line up the same way.
Think of it this way. If you have two bar magnets, each has a North pole and a South pole.
If the two magnets have their two N poles pointing up then when they are side by side they will repel each other but when they are head-to-tail they will attract. In the other case when one has a N pole pointing up and the other has a S pole pointing up then they will attract each other when they are side by side but repel when they are head-to-tail.
(published on 12/17/2007)
Follow-Up #6: permanent magnets
So what makes a magnet magnetic? You told me how iron was magnetic and i understand that but what is the difference between a magnet and something that is magnetic?
- Anonymous (age 13)
Most strongly magnetic materials, like iron, have magnetic domains which act like small magnets themselves. However, the directions of those magnets are all scrambled up, so the total magnetism cancels out. If you put them in a magnetic field, the domains tend to line up with the field, so you get something which really has net magnetism and can feel a force from the field.
To make a permanent magnet, you need some way to keep those domains lined up even after the applied field is removed. In certain special materials, it's hard for the domains to change which way they point. Usually those materials have some mixture of non-magnetic atoms, which tend to catch and trap the domain walls, the regions where the magnetism changes from one direction to another. Trapping the walls keeps them from moving, and keeps the magnetic direction from changing.
If you heat up a permanent magnet, the walls tend to come loose and the net magnetism will go away.
(published on 02/19/2008)
Follow-Up #7: magnetic vs. electric fields
So it sounds like you're saying that what makes something magnetic is the presence of these "single" particles or particles that are not in a pair (if so they would cancel each others magnetism)and there are regions of these single particles that are called domains?
I have two question.
How can one particle be magnetic?
Is the source of magnetism the attraction/repulsion relation between positive and negative charges? And if so, what makes magnetic fields different from electric fields? (detailed please)
Actually, for something to be very strongly magnetic it takes more than just some unpaired particles. There has to also be a tendency for the magnetism of different particles to line up together, and that tendency is present in only some materials.
One of the sources of magnetism is electrical current. That's why a current through a copper coil, for example, creates a magnetic field. Now (and this isn't quite being honest) imagine a charged particle as a little ball of charged stuff. If it's spinning, then that's like having currents go around in a loop, and you should get fields like those when current goes around in a coil. Elementary particles like electrons do indeed have "spin", measurable angular momentum. However, if you took this story too literally you'd calculate a magnetic moment of an electron which is only half the actual value. On a small scale, that spin is really something quantum mechanical, not something you can picture as charges running around in circles.
Magnetism is related to the electrical fields which pull on charged particles. However, it's connected not just with the positions of the particles but also their velocities. If you look at a charged particle (without spin) from a frame where you say it's standing still, it will only have electrical fields. If you look from another point of view and say it's moving, it will also have magnetic fields. Of course the net physical effects on its neighbors will be the same in either case. We obviously cannot fully introduce this area here, but if you want to see a beautiful book on the topic, I recommend E. Purcell's "Electricity and Magnetism"..
To add one more twist to the tale, Maxwell's equations are consistent with terms involving magnetic monopoles. None have ever been seen. For more information check out:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole
And for another twist, if those magnetic monopoles exist, then an observer who sees one moving will say it produces electric as well as magnetic fields. mike w
(published on 02/24/2008)
Follow-Up #8: making magnets and demagnetizing them
So magnets are made by putting a magnetic object under a magnetic field, this makes all the domains spin in the same direction, which is what defines a magnet. Also electricity running through a wire creates a magnetic field because it has a flow of electrons in one direction. so does that mean that if you try creating a magnet off of an electrical current, then the domains of the magnet will spin in the direction of the current, and if so, does that mean that making a magnet using AC current would be very ineffective?
The direction the domains will point is set by the current in the electromagnet, although it is not the same as the current direction. If the magnet is in a coil, running the current one way around the coil will make the magnetism point one way; reversing the current makes it point the other.
So you're absolutely right that an ac current is no way to magnetize something. In fact, when you want to demagnetize something (e.g. erase a magnetic recording) the standard way is by applying a big ac field and gradually decreasing the magnitude. That pretty much scrambles up the domains. It's often called "de-Gaussing" since one standard unit of magnetic strength is a Gauss.

Follow-Up #9: Magnets do not bend light, however...
I was wondering if Magnets have any effect on light. I know that light is really electromagnetic waves, but I was wondering if these waves could be attracted/repelled against a magnet. Thanks!
- Joe Shock-Ra
In a vacuum there is no effect of a magnet on light. It doesn't bend it or anything.
There is a subtle effect, however, when light passes through a dielectric medium like glass or sugar water solution. It turns out that in the presence of a magnetic field the light beam is not bent but the plane of polarization can be rotated a bit. This is called Faraday rotation. You can find out more about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_rotation

Follow-Up #10: first magnets
First, thank you for answering for our questions. My question is, you say that to obtain a magnet we need to have a magnet. Then how was the first magnet made, when there were no any other magnets? How to make a magnet if i have only a piece of iron and nothing else??? Thank you again.
Really nice questions!
Some stones are magnetic as found. They are magnetized because they cooled in the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth is magnetic for complicated reasons which I don't really understand, but have something to do with currents stirred up as heat flows from the hot core to the cooler surface, creating convection patterns.
You don't need a permanent magnet to magnetize a piece of iron. It's usually done using an electromagnet, so what you really need is a current source to drive the electromagnet. Although many current sources are ultimately based on generators which themselves use magnets, there are other current sources which do not need magnets. For example batteries can be made using chemicals and no magnets.

Follow-Up #11: magnetic water?
can a magnet work when there is ice between the two magnets and if there is water between them ( the icce and water will be between them at different times ) if so will the magnetic force be different
Water (whether liquid or frozen) has so little magnetic susceptibility that you will not notice its effects unless you\'re deliberately making a sensitive experiment.

Follow-Up #12: magnetic forces
What causes magnetics to attract to each other?
And why do they stick for so long?
- Tiffany (age 13)
Richmond hill, GA, US
Those are great questions but I can't think of any way to answer the first one without giving a little course. As for the second one, it's normal for the forces which hold things together to last forever.
Think of the gravity that holds you and the Earth stuck together. As long as you and the Earth are around, that gravity will be there. The same rule applies to magnets. As long as they stay magnets, the force between them will be there. There is one difference, however. You can think of a magnet as made up of little magnets, called domains. Each one has a North and a South pole. Over a very long time, those can jiggle around so the little magnets don't line up with each other. Then they won't add up to make a big magnet. Gravity doesn't have poles, the gravity from every part just adds together. So even as parts of the Earth shift around, the gravity won't go away.
(published on 03/30/2009)
Follow-Up #13: compass physics
The South Pole is magnetized, correct? How come a compass never points south. If we switched the charge in our compasses would they point south?
Also, how come compasses become more inaccurate as you near the north pole? That seems counter-intuitive. I'd think they'd become more accurate since the force is stronger.
- John (age 33)
It's just a convention to label the north-pointing end of the magnet in a compass by sharpening it or painting it with an arrow head. You could do that to the other end if you wished.
The inaccuracy near the north pole arises because the magnetic north pole isn't actually at the same place as the rotational north pole. The difference becomes important in that vicinity. If you stood in between them, your compass would point south.

Follow-Up #14: Do two bar magnets attract or repel each other?
If two magnets are put end to end with the current patterns lined up in the same direction, the two poles next to each other would do what?
- Drew (age 17)
| | | | Currents aligned
| N A S | | N B S | Attraction
| | | | Currents anti-aligned
| N C S | | S D N | Repulsion
Just to be clear, in the picture above A and B attract, C and D repel. You might also wonder about what happens between A and C and between B and D, in the positions shown. A and C repel. B and D attract. If you imagine each magnet as a tube of current going around the axis, the ones that attract are the ones where the nearby parts
of the current go the same way in each tube. Mike W.

Follow-Up #15: magnets attract or repel
How do magnets stick together only sometimes ?
- Isabel (age 10)
Bar magnets only sometimes stick together and sometimes repel because each has a north pole and a south pole. Opposite poles attract, and like poles repel. If you were to put two north poles together, they would repel, but a north and a south would stick together. The picture above shows an example.

Follow-Up #16: are magnets permanent?
In permanent magnets what sort of energy do they use to push or pull other magnets if any at all? I was also wondering does a permanent magnet ever lose its magnetism?
A permanent magnet will lose its magnetism fairly quickly when it's heated enough. A good permanent magnet stays that way for a very long time at room temperature. In the extremely long run, its little domains should lose their alignment, but that's not in our lifetime.
You also ask, if I understand right, what sort of energy is involved in the magnetic forces between magnets. There is energy stored in the magnetic field itself. The density of that energy is proportional to the square of the field strength. When magnets move near each other, that field energy generally changes.

Follow-Up #17: shielding a magnet with steel
I know a magnet can attract steel paper clips through paper, cardboard, plastics, cloth, etc. But can a magnet attract steel paper clips through a sheet of sheet?
I have beeen confused as some sources say it will not.
I know you can make a iron nail a temporary magnet by attracting it to a magnet at one end and have paper clips attracted to the nail. Shouldn't it be the case for the sheet of steel?
- SARAH (age 26)
I assume that was a typo, and you're asking about a sheet of steel. it's an interesting question.
Here's a nice physical way to picture what happens. Picture the magnetic field in the usual way, as a set of field lines coming out of one pole of the magnet and returning to the other. There's a tendency for those field lines to get sucked into pieces of iron or steel or other easily magnetized material. That's exactly the reason that the paperclips stick to the magnet. Some of the field lines get stuck in them.
Now what happens if you put a big sheet of steel in between the magnet and the paper clips? The field lines mostly get drawn into the sheet, spread out in the sheet, and return without going past the sheet to the paperclip. So the clip doesn't stick much if it's just behind the sheet.
This effect depends a lot on the shape of the sheet. A small piece of steel can pull field lines into it leaving more field just behind it than were there before. That's just what happens when you chain paperclips together hanging from a magnet. Each clip tends to steer field lines on to the next one. So the steel redirects the field, with a sheet redistributing it away from the clip just on the other side. It would tend to grab clips right near the edge of the sheet, where some of the field lines exit.

Follow-Up #18: magnetized nail
We made electromagnets in class with wire, a large nail and a 6 volt battery. The nails were not magnetic, but after we disconnected the batteries from the nails, the nails would pick up staples. How did the battery or the electricity magnetize the nail?
- Karen (age 10)
The nail started off already magnetized in small regions, called domains. At room temperature the little magnets of the electrons in the iron tend to line up with other, making those magnetic domains. However, the magnetism of the different domains points all different directions, so overall it cancels out.
When you put the nail in the electromagnet made with the coiled wire powered by the battery, it lines up a lot of those domains to point the same way. After you take the nail away, some of the domains stay stuck, so you're still left with more of the magnetism pointing one way than any other. That means the nail is a bit magnetized.
This is temporarily posted without the usual check, until Lee gets back from Paris.

Follow-Up #19: magnets and their fields
1!: Can you make a 'doughnut' magnet so as to have, say, all N charge on the outside and S on the inside, in the hole of the doughnut??
2!: what exactly is the field itself? the magnetic field, i mean. The magnetic fields' COMPOSITION.
The answer I usually get is something like:
" well, the magnet makes the field"
"...I am aware of that. But what exactly is the field MADE-OUT-OF?"
"It is the magnetic force in the magnet interacting with things around it"
But you seem thorough. so please answer in that manner,I'll understand everything right up to the point where there needs to be calculus to understand. I'm still in Algebra 2.
- Atticus (age 14)
Salt Lake City, Utah,
Your first question is easy.
Sure, you can make a donut-shaped magnet with the N poles on the outer part and the S poles near the donut hole. It's not a standard form, but it's certainly possible. (Those poles aren't really "charges" though.)
Your second question is extremely hard to answer. I think for now perhaps the best non-answer is this. Whatever the universe consists of, at some point our description has to get down to the most basic ingredients, or, if every level of ingredient should be thought of as made of something deeper, at some point we'll just get to the deepest level we know about. At that point, all you can do is describe the properties, not say what things are made of. Electromagnetic fields are pretty close to that point. We could give maybe a step or so deeper description, but it would be in terms of quantum fields. Those are even more abstract mathematical entities than magnetic fields.

Follow-Up #20: magnetism from moving charges
Well, i know that moving or spinning charged particles can cause a magnetic field. But how does it do that? And why don't stationary charged particles create magnetic fields, even though they create electrostatic forces? And what causes those forces in the first place? For example, gravity is caused by mass curving or warping space time or something of the sort, what causes magnetic and electrostatic forces? I know very basic quantum mechanics. Thank you!
- Rahul (age 15)
Rahul- You're asking just the right questions to start in on Purcell's Electricity and Magnetism book, from the Berkeley series. The outline of Purcell's presentation looks something like this.
1. Start with the existence of simple electrostatic forces following Coulomb's law.
2. Assume that special relativity gives the right rules for how things look in different reference frames.
3. Look at a moving charge near a neutral, current-carrying wire. There's no electrical force.
4. But if you now look in the rest frame of the charge, the wire is no longer neutral, thanks to the different Lorentz contractions of the differently-moving plus and minus charges.
5. So there's an electrical force in this frame.
6. So there must have been a velocity-dependent force back in the frame where the wire was neutral.
7. We call that velocity-dependent force magnetism.
Ok, that handles the part about why magnetism, given electricity. The part about why electricity in the first place is unfortunately over my head. Here's a few words to get you started. Purcell derives the magnetism from electricity from assuming a symmetry, special relativity, a rule about how the world obeys the same laws of physics even as you represent its contents in different ways. There are some other subtle symmetries (gauge symmetries) in relativistic quantum field theory, and I've heard that they require the electrostatic force.

Follow-Up #21: how do magnets act at a distance
What a neat site. These kids are so smart!
As a follow up to Atticus' question, please explain how magnets achieve action at a distance.
Also, to Atticus and the other brilliant kids who ask the right questions, give them more questions that they can access and imagine!
One that I have often pondered (please answer): What do you see when looking through an infinitely powerful microscope? Or Telescope?
What is a particle made of (the smallest one)?
It's all just organised energy right?
Then the question is (of course) what is energy?
Is there an answer to this question? Or is it unanswerable?
- Steve (age 28)
We were just discussing doing more to encourage our readers to do experiments. Your suggestion about raising follow-up questions for them is along the same lines. We'll do our best.
On "action-at-a-distance", we don't really think of it that way. We think of the magnetic field as a real thing, all spread out in space, acting where it is. But how did that field get all spread-out? Not by sudden action-at-a-distance. It had to work its way over from the source, by an electromagnetic wave traveling at the speed of light. That's not much of a coincidence, since light itself is an electromagnetic wave.
We don't really know what anything is made of at the deepest level. I guess the two basic approaches are that everything is some sort of differential equation (a little bit like Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism) or that everything is some sort of cellular automaton, kind of like a bunch of little digital bits. Right now, the deepest things we know are all differential equations, but some people suspect that may change.
Saying "It's all just organized energy" doesn't really convey a definite enough idea for us to say it's true or false.

Follow-Up #22: Adding bar magnets together
If you place two equally strong magnets together so they attract do the act as a single magnet with one magnetic field? Will the resulting magnet be twice as strong as one of the original magnets?
- Mark Basham (age 50)
If you have two thin bar magnets and put them together in parallel the resulting strength is about double. If you keep adding more and more of them eventually the resulting sum is not the sum of the number of magnets due to the over all geometry of the combination. It involves some integrals.
If you add them lengthwise you don't get a factor of two in the end-on direction but you would get a factor of two if you placed them face down on an iron surface.
Far away, you do get a factor of two in the fields, even though close by it's more complicated. /mw

Follow-Up #23: Does positive attract positive?
I read all your post to look for my answer, but still couldn't find an answer. People say Positive energy attracts Positive. But how is this possible if they repel each other? Or is that a bunch of bull? My mom bought 2 expensive bar magnets to stand on while exercising. She said it will help her heal w/positive energy?? Is she nuts or is this true? Thanks, Moe
- Moe (age 16)
Positive energy does attract positive energy by ordinary gravity. However positive electric charge repels positive electric charge. This old physics has nothing to do with various new-age ideas.
Magnets are still another matter. No magnetic charges ("monopoles") have ever been found. However, like poles of magnets (e.g. North and North) repel.
Your mom may not be nuts because many medical conditions are known to be helped by something called the placebo effect. People who believe that something (e.g. an alleged medicine) will help them tend to do better, sometimes in real objective measured traits, not always just in how they feel. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo) Magnets are truly harmless. Maybe having to pay a lot for them made her feel like they're doing more good, and maybe that feeling makes them do more good. I have a lot of trouble motivating myself to exercise enough. Maybe it's time to invest in some magnets.

Follow-Up #24: Storing energy in magnets
Is there a way to create energy from magnets? For example, when putting the same end of a magnet together, the magnets push away from each other. Where does this energy come from? Would it be possible to create giant magnets or contained magnetic fields in order to create energy and power mechanisms? Understanding that all energy is simply transferred but not newly created, where is this energy coming from?
- Anonymous (age 15)
As you point out, you can't create energy with magnets, but you can store energy. When you push two same-sign poles together it requires energy. This energy can then be released and do useful work when you let go of the magnets.

ESOMAR Gets It Right At Digital Dimensions Conference
It is so refreshing to be at a conference put on by a trade organization where the debate is not focused on “if or when” market research should (maybe, possibly, if there is no other choice in the matter) consider joining the 21st Century. Here at the ESOMAR Digital Dimensions 3D conference the discussion is about the practical business of leveraging these technologies and how research business models need to change to support that. It is the conversation that has to happen, and ESOMAR is showing true leadership by crafting an event that is addressing the need. Plus they know how to put on a first class conference; the combination of great content and a well done event experience deserves kudos.
Being a conference that encompasses social media, it’s no surprise that there are many folks blogging here and the Twittersphere has been filled with activity as people have shared the great information and insights out of every presentation. I’m not going to recap each of the sessions or analyze the tweetstream; industry luminaries JeffreyHenning, Annie Pettit, Tom Ewing, and the ESOMAR team have done a far better job than I could providing in depth coverage and you can see the Twitter activity by following the #eso3D hashtag. Jeffrey has made it especially easy for us all (he’s just that kind of guy!) by posting links to each of the posts:

Wrapups from others:
From this cornucopia of cutting edge goodness what were the key takeaways? Here is my list:
- The day started by setting the context: the digital life has altered our global culture in a permanent way that has far reaching implications for our species, let alone market researchers. It is here to stay and we simply must adapt to it. And, the pace of change is so fast now that we are only beginning to get a glimpse of the shape of things to come.
- Whether we’re discussing the seemingly diverse topics of “gamification”, social media research, facial scanning, MROCs, or netnography the name of the game now is understanding the emotional drivers of behavior. Surveys and focus groups are still useful techniques (and at least for today still major money makers), but market research now has the tools and the access to consumers to truly find out the why of decision making, often without asking a single question.
- The transition from current survey-based trackers to new techniques will be slow and painful for all stakeholders. It’s entirely possible that the data we have been collecting is incomplete at best, flat out wrong at worst, but clients often have built these metrics into organizational performance and compensation plans and variances, even to improve quality, will be problematic. Couple that with the impact on pricing, efficiency, revenue, and even company valuation for suppliers and we have a veritable “don’t ask, don’t tell” scenario.
- Suppliers will find more success selling newer techniques for new projects. This model will be much more successful for boutique specialists than existing large enterprise suppliers due to the risk of revenue cannibalization and lack of both human capital and infrastructure to support many of the new modes. The path forward for larger companies will be to acquire the boutique specialists and augment existing business with the new data sources.
- Gamification is here to stay; the concept is simply too ubiquitous in the digital domain (and arguably intrinsic to the human condition) for market research not to incorporate various aspects of game theory into the research process. The challenge will be scalability for those companies that depend on the production aspects of data collection as key profit drivers; many aspects of the game process, particularly the user interface, requires as much art as it does science and creativity is pretty tough to operationalize.
- European suppliers (and presumably clients) are ahead of the curve on not just adopting, but in creating all new research techniques to capitalize on the new digital paradigm.
- Market research still has a looong way to go to figure out how our hallowed precepts and ethical positions fit (if at all) in social media research. We’re trying to straddle the line today, but the line keeps shifting based on client needs and technocultural evolution. The conversation is vital to have to prompt debate, but resolution of the big questions and perhaps even definition of what market research is will be a long time coming.
- No technology can replace the human brain (yet); technology provides efficiencies to collect information and look for linkages and correlations but insights still come from people.
Those are the things that stood out to me on this excellent first full day of the ESOMAR 3D conference. Tomorrow promises to underline those points while generating whole new ones. I’m looking forward to taking it all in and distilling it for everyone who wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to attend this truly stellar event. Look for my post on Day 2 over the weekend.

The international regulations named INCOTERMS are summoned by the authorities, governments, facilities and business-men all over the world to clarify and regulate terms that are accepted in the International Trade. The Jurisdiction of INCOTERMS are extended on rights and obligations of the contract participants of the Sales-and-Purchase Contract pertaining delivery paragraphs. Each term is represented by the abbreviation of three letters. Hereby the list of INCOTERMS is represented as well as the comments and clarification to them.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF INCOTERMS
The purpose of Incoterms is to provide a set of international rules for the interpretation of the most commonly used trade terms in foreign trade. Thus, the uncertainties of different interpretations of such terms in different countries can be avoided or at least reduced to a considerable degree.
Frequently, parties to a contract are unaware of the different trading practices in their respective countries. This can give rise to misunderstandings, disputes and litigation with all the waste of time and money that this entails. In order to remedy these problems the International Chamber of Commerce first published in 1936 a set of international rules for the interpretation of trade terms. These rules were known as "Incoterms 1936". Amendments and additions were later made in 1953, 1967, 1976, 1980, 1990 and presently in 2000 in order to bring the rules in line with current international trade practices.
It should be stressed that the scope of Incoterms is limited to matters relating to the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract of sale with respect to the delivery of goods sold (in the sense of "tangibles", not including "intangibles" such as computer software).
It appears that two particular misconceptions about Incoterms are very common. First, Incoterms are frequently misunderstood as applying to the contract of carriage rather than to the contract of sale. Second, they are sometimes wrongly assumed to provide for all the duties which parties may wish to include in a contract of sale.
As has always been underlined by ICC, Incoterms deal only with the relation between sellers and buyers under the contract of sale, and, moreover, only do so in some very distinct respects.
While it is essential for exporters and importers to consider the very practical relationship between the various contracts needed to perform an international sales transaction - where not only the contract of sale is required, but also contracts of carriage, insurance and financing - Incoterms relate to only one of these contracts, namely the contract of sale.
Nevertheless, the parties' agreement to use a particular Incoterm would necessarily have implications for the other contracts. To mention a few examples, a seller having agreed to a CFR - or CIF -contract cannot perform such a contract by any other mode of transport than carriage by sea, since under these terms he must present a bill of lading or other maritime document to the buyer which is simply not possible if other modes of transport are used. Furthermore, the document required under a documentary credit would necessarily depend upon the means of transport intended to be used.
Further, they deal with the obligations to clear the goods for export and import, the packing of the goods, the buyer's obligation to take delivery as well as the obligation to provide proof that the respective obligations have been duly fulfilled. Although Incoterms are extremely important for the implementation of the contract of sale, a great number of problems which may occur in such a contract are not dealt with at all, like transfer of ownership and other property rights, breaches of contract and the consequences following from such breaches as well as exemptions from liability in certain situations. It should be stressed that Incoterms are not intended to replace such contract terms that are needed for a complete contract of sale either by the incorporation of standard terms or by individually negotiated terms.
Generally, Incoterms do not deal with the consequences of breach of contract and any exemptions from liability owing to various impediments. These questions must be resolved by other stipulations in the contract of sale and the applicable law.
Incoterms have always been primarily intended for use where goods are sold for delivery across national boundaries: hence, international commercial terms. However, Incoterms are in practice at times also incorporated into contracts for the sale of goods within purely domestic markets. Where Incoterms are so used, the A2 and B2 clauses and any other stipulation of other articles dealing with export and import do, of course, become redundant.
INCORPORATION OF INCOTERMS INTO THE CONTRACT OF SALE
In view of the changes made to Incoterms from time to time, it is important to ensure that where the parties intend to incorporate Incoterms into their contract of sale, an express reference is always made to the current version of Incoterms. This may easily be overlooked when, for example, a reference has been made to an earlier version in standard contract forms or in order forms used by merchants. A failure to refer to the current version may then result in disputes as to whether the parties intended to incorporate that version or an earlier version as a part of their contract. Merchants wishing to use Incoterms 2000 should therefore clearly specify that their contract is governed by "Incoterms 2000"
THE STRUCTURE OF INCOTERMS
In 1990, for ease of understanding, the terms were grouped in four basically different categories; namely starting with the term whereby the seller only makes the goods available to the buyer at the seller's own premises (the "E" term Ex works); followed by the second group whereby the seller is called upon to deliver the goods to a carrier appointed by the buyer (the "F" terms FCA, FAS and FOB); continuing with the "C" terms where the seller has to contract for carriage, but without assuming that risk of loss of or damage to the goods or additional costs due to events occurring after shipment and dispatch (CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP) and, finally the "D" terms whereby the seller has to bear all costs and risks needed to bring the goods to the place of destination (DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU and DDP). The following chart sets out this classification of the trade terms.
Group E Departure
EXW Ex Works
Group F Main carriage unpaid
FCA Free Carrier (... named place)
FAS Free Alongside Ship (...named port of shipment)
FOB Free On Board (... named port of shipment)
Group C Main carriage paid
CFR Cost and Freight (... named port of destination)
CIF Cost, Insurance and Freight (... named port of destination)
CPT Carriage Paid To (... named place of destination)
CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid To (... named place of destination)
Группа D Поставка товара
DAF Поставка до границы (... название места доставки)
DES Поставка с судна (... название порта назначения)
DEQ Поставка с пристани (... название порта назначения)
DDU Поставка без оплаты пошлины (... название места назначения)
DDP Поставка с оплатой пошлины (... название места назначения)
THE SELLER'S DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS
Incoterms focus on the seller's delivery obligation. The precise distribution of functions and costs in connection with the seller's delivery of the goods would normally not cause problems where the parties have a continuing commercial relationship. They would then establish a practice between themselves («course of dealing») which they would follow in subsequent dealings in the same manner as they have done earlier. However, if a new commercial relationship is established or if a contract is made through the medium of brokers - as is common in the sale of commodities -, one would have to apply the stipulations of the contract of sale and. whenever Incoterms 2000 have been incorporated into that contract, apply the division of functions, costs and risks following therefrom
It would, of course, have been desirable if Incoterms could specify in as detailed a manner as possible the duties of the parties in connection with the delivery of the goods. Compared with Incoterms 1990, further efforts have been made in this respect in some specified instances (see for example FCA A4). But it has not been possible to avoid reference to customs of the trade in FAS and FOB A4 («in the manner customary at the port»), the reason being that particularly in commodity trade the exact manner in which the goods are delivered for carriage in FAS and FOB contracts vary in the different sea ports.
PASSING OF RISKS AND COSTS RELATING TO THE GOODS
The risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as the obligation to bear the costs relating to the goods, passes from the seller to the buyer when the seller has fulfilled his obligation to deliver the goods. Since the buyer should not be given the possibility to delay the passing of the risk and costs, all terms stipulate that the passing of risk and costs may occur even before delivery, if the buyer does not take delivery as agreed or fails to give such instructions (with respect to time for shipment and/or place for delivery) as the seller may require in order to fulfill his obligation to deliver the goods. It is a requirement for such premature passing of risk and costs that the goods have been identified as intended for the buyer or, as is stipulated in the terms, set aside for him (appropriation).
This requirement is particularly important under EXW, since under all other terms the goods would normally have been identified as intended for the buyer when measures have been taken for their shipment or dispatch («F» - and «C»-terms) or their delivery at destination («D»-terms). In exceptional cases, however, the goods may have been sent from the seller in bulk without identification of the quantity for each buyer and, if so, passing of risk and cost does not occur before the goods have been appropriated as aforesaid (cf. also article 69.3 of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods).
9.1 "E" - term is the term in which the seller's obligation is at its minimum: the seller has to do no more than place the goods at the disposal of the buyer at the agreed place - usually at the seller's own premises. On the other hand, as a matter of practical reality, the seller would frequently assist the buyer in loading the goods on the latter's collecting vehicle. Although EXW would better reflect this if the seller's obligations were to be extended so as to include loading, it was thought desirable to retain the traditional principle of the seller's minimum obligation under EXW so that it could be used for cases where the seller does not wish to assume any obligation whatsoever with respect to the loading of the goods. If the buyer wants the seller to do more, this should be made clear in the contract of sale.
9.2 "F" - terms require the seller to deliver the goods for carriage as instructed by the buyer. The point at which the parties intend delivery to occur in the FCA term has caused difficulty because of the wide variety of circumstances which may surround contracts covered by this term. Thus, the goods may be loaded on a collecting vehicle sent by the buyer to pick them up at the seller's premises; alternatively, the goods may need to be unloaded from a vehicle sent by the seller to deliver the goods at a terminal named by the buyer. Incoterms 2000 take account of these alternatives by stipulating that, when the place named in the contract as the place of delivery is the seller's premises, delivery is complete when the goods are loaded on the buyer's collecting vehicle and, in other cases, delivery is complete when the goods are placed at the disposal of the buyer not unloaded from the seller's vehicle. The variations mentioned for different modes of transport in FCA A4 of Incoterms 1990 are not repeated in Incoterms 2000.
The delivery point under FOB, which is the same under CFR and CIF, has been left unchanged in Incoterms 2000 in spite of a considerable debate. Although the notion under FOB to deliver the goods «across the ship's rail» nowadays may seem inappropriate in many cases, it is nevertheless understood by merchants and applied in a manner which takes account of the goods and the available loading facilities. It was felt that a change of the FOB-point would create unnecessary confusion, particularly with respect to sale of commodities carried by sea typically under charter parties.
Unfortunately, the word «FOB» is used by some merchants merely to indicate any point of delivery-such as «FOB factory», «FOB plant», «FOB Ex seller's works» or other inland points -thereby neglecting what the abbreviation means: Free On Board. It remains the case that such use of «FOB» tends to create confusion and should be avoided.
There is an important change of FAS relating to the obligation to clear the goods for export, since it appears to be the most common practice to put this duty on the seller rather than on the buyer. In order to ensure that this change is duly noted it has been marked with capital letters in the preamble of FAS.
9.3 "C" - The «C»-terms require the seller to contract for carriage on usual terms at his own expense. Therefore, a point up to which he would have to pay transport costs must necessarily be indicated after the respective «C»-term. Under the CIF and CIP terms the seller also has to take out insurance and bear the insurance cost. Since the point for the division of costs is fixed at a point in the country of destination, the «C»-terms are frequently mistakenly believed to be arrival contracts, in which the seller would bear all risks and costs until the goods have actually arrived at the agreed point. However, it must be stressed that the «C»-terms are of the same nature as the «F»-terms in that the seller fulfils the contract in the country of shipment or dispatch. Thus, the contracts of sale under the «C»-terms, like the contracts under the «F»-terms, fall within the category of shipment contracts.
It is in the nature of shipment contracts that, while the seller is bound to pay the normal transport cost for the carriage of the goods by a usual route and in a customary manner to the agreed place, the risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as additional costs resulting from events occurring after the goods having been appropriately delivered for carriage, fall upon the buyer. Hence, the «C»-terms are distinguishable from all other terms in that they contain two «critical» points, one indicating the point to which the seller is bound to arrange and bear the costs of a contract of carriage and another one for the allocation of risk. For this reason, the greatest caution must be observed when adding obligations of the seller to the «C»-terms which seek to extend the seller's responsibility beyond the aforementioned «critical» point for the allocation of risk. It is of the very essence of the «C»-terms that the seller is relieved of any further risk and cost after he has duly fulfilled his contract by contracting for carriage and handing over the goods to the carrier and by providing for insurance under the CIF- and CIP-terms.
The essential nature of the "C"-terms as shipment contracts is also illustrated by the common use of documentary credits as the preferred mode of payment used in such terms. Where it is agreed by the parties to the sale contract that the seller will be paid by presenting the agreed shipping documents to a bank under a documentary credit, it would be quite contrary to the central purpose of the documentary credit for the seller to bear further risks and costs after the moment when payment had been made under documentary credits or otherwise upon shipment and dispatch of the goods. Of course, the seller would have to bear the cost of the contract of carriage irrespective of whether freight is pre-paid upon shipment or is payable at destination (freight collect); however, additional costs which may result from events occurring subsequent to shipment and dispatch are necessarily for the account of the buyer.
If the seller has to provide a contract of carriage which involves payment of duties, taxes and other charges, such costs will, of course, fall upon the seller to the extent that they are for his account under that contract. This is now explicitly set forth in the A6 clause of all "C"-terms.
If it is customary to procure several contracts of carriage involving transshipment of the goods at intermediate places in order to reach the agreed destination, the seller would have to pay all these costs, including any costs incurred when the goods are transshipped from one means of conveyance to the other. If, however, the carrier exercised his rights under a transshipment -or similar clause - in order to avoid unexpected hindrances (such as ice, congestion, labour disturbances, government orders, war or warlike operations) then any additional cost resulting therefrom would be for the account of the buyer, since the seller's obligation is limited to procuring the usual contract of carriage.
It happens quite often that the parties to the contract of sale wish to clarify the extent to which the seller should procure a contract of carriage including the costs of discharge. Since such costs are normally covered by the freight when the goods are carried by regular shipping lines, the contract of sale will frequently stipulate that the goods are to be so carried or at least that they are to be carried under «liner terms». In other cases, the word «landed» is added after CFR or CIF. However, it is advisable not to use abbreviations added to the «C»-terms unless, in the relevant trade, the meaning of the abbreviations is clearly understood and accepted by the contracting parties or under any applicable law or custom of the trade.
In particular, the seller should not - and indeed could not, without changing the very nature of the «C»-terms - undertake any obligation with respect to the arrival of the goods at destination, since the risk of any delay during the carriage is borne by the buyer. Thus, any obligation with respect to time must necessarily refer to the place of shipment or dispatch, for example, «shipment (dispatch) not later than...». An agreement for example, «CFR Hamburg not later than...» is really a misnomer and thus open to different possible interpretations. The parties could be taken to have meant either that the goods must actually arrive at Hamburg at the specified date, in which case the contract is not a shipment contract but an arrival contract or, alternatively, that the seller must ship the goods at such a time that they would normally arrive at Hamburg before the specified date unless the carriage would have been delayed because of unforeseen events.
It happens in commodity trades that goods are bought while they are at sea and that, in such cases, the word «afloat» is added after the trade term. Since the risk of loss of or damage to the goods would then, under the CFR- and CIF-terms, have passed from the seller to the buyer, difficulties of interpretation might arise. One possibility would be to maintain the ordinary meaning of the CFR- and CIF-terms with respect to the allocation of risk between seller and buyer, namely that risk passes on shipment: this would mean that the buyer might have to assume the consequences of events having already occurred at the time when the contract of sale enters into force. The other possibility would be to let the passing of the risk coincide with the time when the contract of sale is concluded. The former possibility might well be practical, since it is usually impossible to ascertain the condition of the goods while they are being carried. For this reason the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods article 68 stipulates that «if the circumstances so indicate, the risk is assumed by the buyer from the time the goods were handed over to the carrier who issued the documents embodying the contract of carriage». There is, however, an exception to this rule when «the seller knew or ought to have known that the goods had been lost or damaged and did not disclose this to the buyer». Thus, the interpretation of a CFR- or CIF-term with the addition of the word «afloat» will depend upon the law applicable to the contract of sale. The parties are advised to ascertain the applicable law and any solution which might follow therefrom. In case of doubt, the parties are advised to clarify the matter in their contract.
In practice, the parties frequently continue to use the traditional expression C&F (or N and F, C+F). Nevertheless, in most cases it would appear that they regard these expressions as equivalent to CFR. In order to avoid difficulties of interpreting their contract the parties should use the correct Incoterm which is CFR, the only world-wide-accepted standard abbreviation for the term «Cost and Freight (... named port of destination)».
CFR and CIF in A8 of Incoterms 1990 obliged the seller to provide a copy of the charter-party whenever his transport document (usually the bill of lading) contained a reference to the charter-party, for example, by the frequent notation «all other terms and conditions as per charter-party». Although, of course, a contracting party should always be able to ascertain all terms of his contract - preferably at the time of the conclusion of the contract - it appears that the practice to provide the charter-party as aforesaid has created problems particularly in connection with documentary credit transactions. The obligation of the seller under CFR and CIF to provide a copy of the charter-party together with other transport documents has been deleted in Incoterms 2000.
Although the A8 clauses of Incoterms seek to ensure that the seller provides the buyer with «proof of delivery», it should be stressed that the seller fulfils that requirement when he provides the «usual» proof. Under CPT and CIP it would be the «usual transport document» and under CFR and CIF a bill of lading or a sea waybill. The transport documents must be «clean», meaning that they must not contain clauses or notations expressly declaring a defective condition of the goods and/or the packaging. If such clauses or notations appear in the document, it is regarded as «unclean» and would then not be accepted by banks in documentary credit transactions. However, it should be noted that a transport document even without such clauses or notations would usually not provide the buyer with incontrovertible proof as against the carrier that the goods were shipped in conformity with the stipulations of the contract of sale. Usually, the carrier would, in standardized text on the front page of the transport document, refuse to accept responsibility for information with respect to the goods by indicating that the particulars inserted in the transport document constitute the shipper's declarations and therefore that the information is only «said to be» as inserted in the document. Under most applicable laws and principles, the carrier must at least use reasonable means of checking the correctness of the information and his failure to do so may make him liable to the consignee. However, in container trade, the carrier's means of checking the contents in the container would not exist unless he himself was responsible for stowing the container.
There are only two terms which deal with insurance, namely CIF and CIP. Under these terms the seller is obliged to procure insurance for the benefit of the buyer. In other cases it is for the parties themselves to decide whether and to what extent they want to cover themselves by insurance. Since the seller takes out insurance for the benefit of the buyer, he would not know the buyer's precise requirements. Under the Institute Cargo Clauses drafted by the Institute of London Underwriters, insurance is available in «minimum cover» under Clause C, «medium cover» under Clause A and «most extended cover» under Clause A. Since in the sale of commodities under the CIF term the buyer may wish to sell the goods in transit to a subsequent buyer who in turn may wish to resell the goods again, it is impossible to know the insurance cover suitable to such subsequent buyers and, therefore, the minimum cover under CIF has traditionally been chosen with the possibility for the buyer to require the seller to take out additional insurance. Minimum cover is however unsuitable for sale of manufactured goods where the risk of theft, pilferage or improper handling or custody of the goods would require more than the cover available under Clause C. Since CIP, as distinguished from CIF, would normally not be used for the sale of commodities, it would have been feasible to adopt the most extended cover under CIP rather than the minimum cover under CIF. But to vary the seller's insurance obligation under CIF and CIP would lead to confusion and both terms therefore limit the seller's insurance obligation to the minimum cover. It is particularly important for the CIP-buyer to observe this: should additional cover be required, he should agree with the seller that the latter could take out additional insurance or, alternatively, arrange for extended insurance cover himself. There are also particular instances where the buyer may wish to obtain even more protection than is available under Institute Clause A, for example insurance against war, riots, civil commotion, strikes or other labour disturbances. If he wishes the seller to arrange such insurance he must instruct him accordingly in which case the seller would have to provide such insurance if procurable.
9.4 The «D»-terms are different in nature from the «C»-terms, since the seller according to the «D»-terms is responsible for the arrival of the goods at the agreed place or point of destination at the border or within the country of import. The seller must bear all risks and costs in bringing the goods thereto. Hence, the «D»-terms signify arrival contracts, while the «C»-terms evidence departure (shipment) contracts. Under the «D»-terms except DDP the seller does not have to deliver the goods cleared for import in the country of destination.
Traditionally, the seller had the obligation to clear the goods for import under DEQ, since the goods had to be landed on the quay and thus were brought into the country of import. But owing to changes in customs clearance procedures in most countries, it is now more appropriate that the party domiciled in the country concerned undertakes the clearance and pays the duties and other charges. Thus, a change in DEQ has been made for the same reason as the change in FAS previously mentioned. As in FAS, in DEQ the change has been marked with capital letters in the preamble. It appears that in many countries trade terms not included in Incoterms are used particularly in railway traffic («franco border», «franco-frontiere», «Frei Grenze»). However, under such terms it is normally not intended that the seller should assume the risk of loss of or damage to goods during the transport up to the border. It would be preferable in these circumstances to use CPT indicating the border. If, on the other hand, the parties intend that the seller should bear the risk during the transport DAF indicating the border would be appropriate.
The DDU term was added in the 1990 version of Incoterms. The term fulfils an important function whenever the seller is prepared to deliver the goods in the country of destination without clearing the goods for import and paying the duty. In countries where import clearance may be difficult and time consuming, it may be risky for the seller to undertake an obligation to deliver the goods beyond the customs clearance point. Although, according to DDU B5 and B6, the buyer would have to bear the additional risks and costs which might follow from his failure to fulfill his obligations to clear the goods for import, the seller is advised not to use the DDU term in countries where difficulties might be expected in clearing the goods for import.
THE EXPRESSION «NO OBLIGATION»
As appears from the expressions «the seller must» and «the buyer must» Incoterms are only concerned with the obligations which the parties owe to each other. The words «no obligation» have therefore been inserted whenever one party does not owe an obligation to the other party. Thus, if for instance according to A3 of the respective term the seller has to arrange and pay for the contract of carriage we find the words «no obligation» under the heading «contract of carriage» in B3 a) setting forth the buyer's position. Again, where neither party owes the other an obligation, the words «no obligation» will appear with respect to both parties, for example, with respect to insurance.
In either case, it is important to point out that even though one party may be under "no obligation" towards the other to perform a certain task, this does not mean that it is not in his interest to perform that task. Thus, for example, just because a CFR buyer owes his seller no duty to make a contract of insurance under B4, it is clearly in his interest to make such a contract, the seller being under no such obligation to procure insurance cover under A4.
VARIANTS OF INCOTERMS
In practice, it frequently happens that the parties themselves by adding words to an Incoterm seek further precision than the term could offer. It should be underlined that Incoterms give no guidance whatsoever for such additions. Thus, if the parties cannot rely on a well-established custom of the trade for the interpretation of such additions they may encounter serious problems when no consistent understanding of the additions could be proven.
If for instance the common expressions «FOB stowed» or «EXW loaded» are used, it is impossible to establish a world-wide understanding to the effect that the seller's obligations are extended not only with respect to the cost of actually loading the goods in the ship or on the vehicle respectively but also include the risk of fortuitous loss of or damage to the goods in the process of stowage and loading. For these reasons, the parties are strongly advised to clarify whether they only mean that the function or the cost of the stowage and loading operations should fall upon the seller or whether he should also bear the risk until the stowage and loading has actually been completed. These are questions to which Incoterms do not provide an answer: consequently, if the contract too fails expressly to describe the parties' intentions, the parties may be put to much unnecessary trouble and cost.
EXW - Добавляется обязанность продавца погрузить товар на транспортное средство покупателя
CIF/CIP - Покупатель нуждается в дополнительном страховании
DEQ - Добавляется обязанность продавца оплатить расходы после разгрузки
In some cases sellers and buyers refer to commercial practice in liner and charter party trade. In these circumstances, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between the obligations of the parties under the contract of carriage and their obligations to each other under the contract of sale. Unfortunately, there are no authoritative definitions of expressions such as «liner terms» and «terminal handling charges» (THC). Distribution of costs under such terms may differ in different places and change from time to time. The parties are recommended to clarify in the contract of sale how such costs should be distributed between themselves.
Expressions frequently used in charter-parties, such as «FOB stowed», «FOB stowed and trimmed», are sometimes used in contracts of sale in order to clarify to what extent the seller under FOB has to perform stowage and trimming of the goods onboard the ship. Where such words are added, it is necessary to clarify in the contract of sale whether the added obligations only relate to costs or to both costs and risks.
As has been said, every effort has been made to ensure that Incoterms reflect the most common commercial practice. However in some cases - particularly where Incoterms 2000 differ from Incoterms 1990 - the parties may wish the trade terms to operate differently. They are reminded of such options in the preamble of the terms signaled by the word «However».

THE RECOMMENDED USE
In some cases the preamble recommends the use or non-use of a particular term. This is particularly important with respect to the choice between FCA and FOB. Regrettably, merchants continue to use FOB when it is totally out of place thereby causing the seller to incur risks subsequent to the handing over of the goods to the carrier named by the buyer. FOB is only appropriate to use where the goods are intended to be delivered «across the ship's rail» or, in any event, to the ship and not where the goods are handed over to the carrier for subsequent entry into the ship, for example stowed in containers or loaded on lorries or wagons in so-called roll on - roll off traffic. Thus, a strong warning has been made in the preamble of FOB that the term should not be used when the parties do not intend delivery across the ship's rail. It happens that the parties by mistake use terms intended for carriage of goods by sea also when another mode of transport is contemplated. This may put the seller in the unfortunate position that he cannot fulfill his obligation to tender the proper document to the buyer (for example a bill of lading, sea waybill or the electronic equivalent). The chart printed at paragraph 17 above makes clear which trade term in Incoterms 2000 it is appropriate to use for which mode of transport. Also, it is indicated in the preamble of each term whether it can be used for all modes of transport or only for carriage of goods by sea.
Contracting parties who wish to have the possibility of resorting to ICC Arbitration in the event of a dispute with their contracting partner should specifically and clearly agree upon ICC Arbitration in their contract or, in the event that no single contractual document exists, in the exchange of correspondence which constitutes the agreement between them. The fact of incorporating one or more Incoterms in a contract or the related correspondence does NOT by itself constitute an agreement to have resort to ICC Arbitration.
The following standard arbitration clause is recommended by ICC: «All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules.»

Turkey: Liberal role in children ignored
By Um Khalid
While secularists exploit the tragic death of a young bride in Turkey to undermine Islamic social laws, they ignore the central role played by liberal values in the abuse of children
On the 13th January 2014, the tragic death of a young teenage bride Kader Erten, who was found dead, shot by a gun in her house after her second baby died, made the issue of marriage of girls at a young age in Turkey an issue of media and political discussion once again.
Although the circumstances around the girl’s death as well as her marriage are not yet clear, various secular politicians, NGO’s, and other opinion-makers have used the story to turn attention on young marriage which Islam encourages but that they define as a problem. In addition, in the undertones of their discussions, they have associated it with forced marriage and attributed some blame to it for the incident. Unsurprisingly therefore, the solution to ‘forced marriage’ of young girls presented by various politicians, sociologists, and organisations has been to introduce and enforce policies which ensure that Turkey’s legal age for marriage of 17 years is adhered to by its citizens.
The truth is that the forcing of women into marriage, whether at an adult or minor age, is not separate from other problems which women in Turkey also have to face; rather it is a part of those. In 2013 alone, 153 thousand women were subjected to violence, 174 of them lost their lives, and more than 3 thousand children under the age of 18 were victims of sexual abuse across the country. Despite such figures which should raise questions about the dominant capitalist and liberal values that dominate Turkish society which result in such problems, this condemnation of marriage at a young age is an insidious style of attack against the Islamic social rule which encourages young marriage, by attributing to it the origin of forced marriage. In fact, forced marriages which Islam condemns as well as all other kinds of atrocities against women have spread after the destruction of the Khilafah, together with depriving women of all kinds of Islamic political, economic, educational, and social rights. This is a result in part of the erosion of the Islamic mentality, values and behaviour of Muslims that ensures they treat women according to the Commands of their Creator, causing them instead to embrace non-Islamic traditions and practices. Additionally, the implementation of the secular capitalist system in Turkey infused many through the education system and media with a secular capitalist selfish and self-centered lifestyle praising the fulfilment of the lustful desires. As a result, women and even children have been exploited, abused or mistreated by those who are stronger or wield more authority or power than them.
According to Islam, marriage is a contract. Therefore marriage, as any contract in Islam, is contracted by legitimate offer and acceptance.
The woman has the right to accept the marriage or to reject it.
Neither her guardian (Wali Amr) nor anybody else has a right to marry the girl or woman off against her consent OR prevent her from marrying. It has been reported from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission is sought”. The people asked, “O Messenger of Allah, How can we know her permission”? He (saw) said: “To remain silent”.
Indeed, there are numerous hadith showing that the Prophet (saw) himself annulled the marriages of women that were made without their consent. If a girl or woman rejects the marriage or she was forcibly married the contract becomes void, except if she returns and consents to it. On the other hand, the prohibition of barring a woman or a girl who is above puberty from marrying is established in the Qur'an.
Indeed, Allah (swt) has said:
“Do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on a reasonable basis.” [Al-Baqarah: 232].
Therefore according to Islam, a sane and mature girl is free to marry if she wishes so, even though not considered an adult by the secular civil law which is fickle, contradictory and confused in its view of maturity. In addition, Islam has encouraged the youth to marry when young. Ibn Masud narrates that Rasulallah (saw) said:
“O you youngsters. Whoever amongst you who can afford to marry should marry, because it will help him more to lower his gaze, and guard his modesty (i.e. private parts from unlawful sex). And whoever is not able to marry he should fast, because it will be protection for him."
Islam is a comprehensive way of life. In order to be effective, it is necessary to implement it with all its orders, prohibitions, and laws; its education, economic and social system. Furthermore, the Khilafah is a vital issue! It is only Islam that will apply what Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) have ordered, and it is Islam that will ensure the best results for the people.
“If you disagree in anything, refer it to Allah and His Messenger (to the Hukm Shari), if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is beneficial (Khayr) and better in terms of result.” [An-Nisa: 59]

Let women be in charge of their own sexuality? Hell, no! Dirty D is a man well-known for keeping horny chicks in their place. So it's not surprising that on Real Orgasm Videos, he gets them on a Sybian and controls the motor himself rather than allowing them to take their pussies into their own hands.
You land on the network's homepage when you first sign in and it's pretty unattractive. However, once you find the flashing GIF image for this site you will be presented with the main collection and a cleaner-looking design.
You'll never see Dirty D's face on RealOrgasmVideos, but you'll hear his voice and clearly see him manipulating the Sybian's controls while the motor gets faster and the babe in question moans louder. She's getting a wet and messy hole if her O face is any indication!
Currently, there are 215 flicks of babes who battle the man-made Sybian. Best of all, none of the gals leave your computer screen without being brought to heights of ecstasy. You'll get horny watching them shudder in delight. The vids can be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded as average-quality MP4s and good-quality Windows Media files. The content is a little fuzzy around the edges, but it is still hot.
The 209 photo sets come with high-res photos that you can download in Zip files. The pictures take you through each Sybian ride, starting with the babe dressed and then with her getting naked and getting on the machine.
You'll see some "featured episodes" at the top of the page that appear to be forthcoming. As it turns out, though, they're just a random selection of existing scenes. There's no update schedule to be had and it isn't truly clear when, or even if, new material is being added. That said, 17 movies have been posted since September 2012.
You will also have access to all the other sites in The Stall network, such as Ghetto Confessions, Tampa Bukkake, Electricity Play, The Oral Slut, Phoenixxx Blaque and Christy Wild.

Five Jewish teens arrested over attack of Palestinian in Jerusalem
Three of those arrested admitted taking part in the attack, in which 28-year-old Ibrahim Abu Ta'a's leg was broken with a steel rod, say they thought 'the Arab was exploiting a Jewish girl.'
Jerusalem Police arrested on Saturday five Jewish teenagers suspected of attacking Ibrahim Abu-Ta'a, a young Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem on Thursday morning, in the city's Katamon neighborhood.
Three of the suspects who were arrested earlier on Saturday admitted taking part in the attack, saying they did because they thought "the Arab was exploiting a Jewish girl." Currently, one of the two suspects is being taken to a remand hearing. The other two will be brought before a judge later on Saturday night or on Sunday. According to Jerusalem Police, more arrests are expected.
Abu-Ta'a, a 28-year-old resident of Wadi Joz, who has been working in Jerusalem's Mamilla Hotel for some years, was wounded in the attack, and his leg was broken. On Wednesday he went out with some colleagues to a club in Talpiot. At the end of the evening he accompanied one of the workers to her home along with another colleague, as, according to him, she was inebriated.
"She asked me for help, so we said we would help her," he said. Abu-Ta'a said that when they arrived at her home the woman was unable to stand, and they got out of the car to help her. On the other side of the road he said that there would three or four youths who looked between the ages of 18 and 22.
Abu-Ta'a said that after the girl stumbled, the alleged attackers approached them and asked, "What is going on here?"
"We told them everything was ok, and then she said 'Ibrahim leave them.' That's it. As soon as they heard my name they started to hit. The dirver tried to separate (us), but he did not manage to," he added.
According to him, he fell to the ground, and at this point one of the attackers hit him in the leg with a steel rod. Abu Ta'a was later taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. Jerusalem Police say that after that the attackers fled.
Three weeks ago dozens of youths attacked three Arab youths in Zion Square in Jerusalem, as they shouted racist slogans. One of the three was seriously injured. Indictments were served against 9 of those involved in the incident.

I have two gently used LED video lights for sale. If you’re not familiar with LED video lights, they give you the benefits of being very small and portable, they run cool, they can run off of batteries, they can be dimmed and they put out a lot of light. Here are the details on the lights I have for sale.
These lights are from CoolLights. The model number is CL-LED256. Click here to see all of the specs, etc. directly from the CoolLights web site.
Each light contains 256 LEDS in the daylight (5600k) color range. They can be dimmed either by turning on/off separate banks and/or through a dimming knob. They contain a set of filters for diffusing the light or changing the light temperature to tungsten (incandescent). The lights can run off of standard AC power or batteries. The lights contain mounts for Sony batteries and a battery (with charger) is included with each light (not Sony brand batteries…knock-offs). The lights come with the original soft cases, cables, filters, etc…everything originally purchased.
Portable…run off batteries if you want
Dimmable…if a light is too bright, just dim it, no need to move it
Runs cool…you won’t end up sweating while shooting videos
Uses little power…you don’t need to worry about blowing fuses when you plug them in
Puts off a lot of light…these lights are bright.
Cannot be attached to a camera…they are too big, they need to be mounted on a light stand
LED light is between hard and soft light…you don’t get the near-shadowless, soft light like from a softbox
Not for some applications…these lights are bright but they only have 256 LEDS each, that’s not enough for properly lighting a green screen as an example
These lights were originally purchased in April 2010 and they are used, albeit gently used. They look in mint condition. I recently had the boards replaced (by CoolLights) to make sure the color of light they produce is accurate. Why? Over time, all lights lose a bit of their color/brightness. I wanted to make sure whoever buys them is getting fresh lights.
Here are some pictures of the lights:
How much? I am selling these lights for $450. Shipping is free. I am only selling them together (not individually). I will only ship these inside the United States (sorry international folks).
Again you can see the full technical specs on CoolLights web site here. If you have questions just email me. And if you want to purchase these lights, just click the link below (all major credit cards and PayPal accepted).
*** SOLD – SORRY, THESE LIGHTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SOLD ***

Four Portage County school districts are targeted to receive an increase in funding from Gov. John Kasich's plan for school funding reform.
The numbers behind Ohio's school funding reform were announced Wednesday.
The Ravenna School District is set to receive the greatest increase of Portage County districts -- more than $1.5 million extra for 2014 compared to fiscal year 2013. Of the other school districts receiving increased funds, about $858,000 will go to the Field Local School District, about $457,000 will go to the Aurora City School District and about $31,000 will go to the Streetsboro City School District.
The remainder of Portage County's school districts will see no change in funding from the previous state budget. No school districts across the state will see a reduction of funds from the previous budget.
Ravenna Superintendent Dennis Honkala pointed out that it's early in the process and it will be a long time before the bill becomes law, and it is too early to say if Ravenna actually will receive the $1.5 million increase.
But he said the state funding will not delay a levy request expected to go on the November ballot. He noted that the district will have to begin the process of starting a levy campaign before the proposal goes into effect.
"This would be a short-term fix. It doesn't solve our financial problems," Honkala said.
If the proposal goes into effect, he expects funding to come as early as July.
Honkala's not sure why Ravenna seems to be targeted for such a large increase, but a recent conference call with the governor's office indicated that more funding would be given to lower-wealth districts. Regardless, Ravenna isn't spending the money just yet.
"I would caution anyone against making this into a long-term fix," he said. "I would encourage everyone to be really cautious and really patient."
Kasich said last week that the state will provide increased funding for poorer school districts statewide.
Barbara Mattei-Smith, assistant policy director in the Kasich's education office, said Wednesday that distribution of funds to school districts is tied to changes in property valuation and enrollment, and in the past five years since a funding formula was in place, the state has seen significant shifts in those areas.
"We have had some fundamental shifts in what our districts look like over the course of the last five years, and the numbers reflect how people have moved, how property values have changed and, to a great extent, what is the capacity of these districts," Mattei-Smith said, noting that urban and suburban areas have generally seen decline in property values along with increased enrollment, while rural property values have increased.
The formula is based on what a 20-mill levy would generate in a district with property valuations of $250,000 per students.
"(Students in poorer districts) are getting the same opportunity as students in a district that has that $250,000 valuation per pupil," said Dick Ross, lead education adviser to Kasich. "It's about comparability and making sure that students in poor communities and with special needs are able to have the same opportunity."
The school funding reform plan also entails funding for pre-school youth in poverty, programs for the disabled, gifted students and creates a "Straight A" fund of $300 million in one-time grants for districts to improve their operations and reduce costs. Certain students also will have greater access to vouchers to attend private schools.
Kasich said the plan is fully funded, with about $7.4 billion and $7.7 billion in state general revenue and lottery money each year of the biennium, up from $6.9 billion this fiscal year.

On the last track we discussed If-Only's. Our discussion focused on the overcoming regret technique, and included the following three coping tools. The three coping tools are making a wish I’d done it list, solving the problem before it starts, and developing the mental muscle to move on.
On this track, we will discuss Assertiveness Training through Role Playing.
5-Step Assertiveness Training
I use five steps in my Cognitive Behavior Therapy Assertiveness Training. The five steps are:
1. Select an incident
2. Role-play with another group member
3. Have the client visualize the situation once more
4. Have the client role-play the situation twice with the other group member, and
5. Encourage the client.
In the example given on this track, assertiveness training took place in a group setting. As I describe the steps involved in Assertiveness Training, you might consider applying them to your last role play or an upcoming one. How might you change the technique presented on this track to work in a single session with your client? Also, could playing this track for a client of yours be productive?
Samuel, age 36, had a very demanding boss. Samuel stated, “My boss makes me so nervous. I’m afraid to ask for help on a project, because he’ll think I’m incapable. And he never lets me finish a project. He’ll approach me while I’m in the middle of something and tell me to do something else. Then I’ll be working on the second thing and he’ll yell at me for not finishing the initial project. But I just get so nervous when I think about talking to him about it.” Samuel’s anxiety led him to constant worry regarding confrontation with his boss and coworkers and, more recently, people he didn’t even know. Would you agree that Samuel was an ideal candidate for assertiveness training?
Step 1 - Select an Incident
In the first step, I asked Samuel to select an incident or situation involving anger. Samuel selected a time when his boss, Mr. Davidson, berated him for not finishing a project after assigning him another task. Once the incident was selected, I asked Samuel to close his eyes and visualize the way the incident actually happened. Right away this increased Samuel’s anxiety levels.
Next, I had Samuel describe how the situation would normally play out. First, Samuel described the incident and the personality traits of Mr. Davidson. Samuel stated, "I was assigned to a marketing campaign for which I needed to write a financial proposal. Shortly after beginning, Mr. Davidson requested me to begin an audit of company spending over the last six months!" As Samuel described it, the incident consisted of Samuel being reprimanded by a pushy and overbearing Mr. Davidson.
Step 2 - Role-Play with other Group Members
The second step involves role-playing with another group member. In this step, Samuel observed two group members role-playing the incident in a non-hurtful, non-anger-provoking, assertive manner. One group member from the anxiety group played Samuel asserting himself to Mr. Davidson. To help Samuel share his reaction I asked him a few questions. “Did the group member portray Mr. Davidson well?” “Did he model an assertive confrontation with which you could feel comfortable?” Samuel’s answers were positive, however if he had said no, I would have requested details.
Step 3 - Visualize the Situation Again
The third step I use in anxiety group CBT Assertiveness Training is to have the client visualize the situation once more. The purpose here is to give the client the opportunity to incorporate the assertive techniques modeled by the other group members. Samuel visualized the situation between himself and Mr. Davidson differently this time. It was interesting to observe how Samuel exhibited progress in implementing assertiveness. Samuel stated, “I see that I should be calmly reminding Mr. Davidson that I have not completed the previously assigned task.”
Step 4 - Role-Play the Situation Twice
The fourth step in my group assertiveness training is to have the client role play the situation twice with other group members. The first time, Samuel played Mr. Davidson to gain insight regarding his boss’s motivation. Samuel began to feel that Mr. Davidson actually held him in high regard. As you probably know, this insight helped Samuel to gain a broader, more objective perspective and decrease his fear of Mr. Davidson.
The second time through, Samuel and the other group member switched roles. During this role play, I directed Samuel by giving him cues and suggestions. These cues included words or actions that Samuel used to be more assertive. For example, Samuel stated, “I am overworked.” I asked Samuel to use specify his generalization of overworked by listing the specifics of the first task assigned that were not completed. After this role play was over, I asked both Samuel and the other group member to share what they experienced in both roles. Also, Samuel was given feedback from the group.
Step 5 - Encourage the Client
In addition to selecting an incident, role-playing with another therapist, having the client visualize the situation once more, and having the client role play the situation twice with the other therapist, the fifth step is encouraging the client. I encouraged Samuel to move forward at his own pace when he felt comfortable with the assertive techniques he had learned regarding his supervisor Mr. Davidson. If Samuel had expressed a need for more time to practice assertive confrontation skills with Mr. Davidson, another role-playing session would have taken place during this group meeting or a future one. The main benefit I felt that Samuel derived from role-playing was an increased empathy for Mr. Davidson and improved assertive confrontation and anxiety management skills.
On this track, we discussed CBT Assertiveness Training through Role Playing. There are five steps in Assertiveness Training. They are: select an incident, role-play with another group member, have the client visualize the situation once more, have the client role play the situation twice with the other group member, and encourage the client.
On the next track we will discuss watching worries come and go. Regarding watching worries come and go, three techniques we will examine are tracking anxiety levels, journaling, and focusing on positive aspects of life.

Not quite. Despite the outward sedateness of its locale, an inviting but sparse Midtown hotel room (the convincing work of set designer Lauren Helpern), Kindness still contains the same furious frenzy of emotional activity beneath the skin and jittery distrust of emotional connection above it that are Rapp’s well-established trademarks. That makes this a “gateway” play, a more widely accessible work that will hopefully get you jazzed enough about Rapp to experiment with his more convention-crushing works, bearing titles like Finer Noble Gases, American Sligo, and Essential Self-Defense.
But unlike the best-known entry of this Rapp subgenre, Red Light Winter (about two young men and the needy prostitute they meet in Amsterdam), Kindness is almost ordinary and actionless to a fault. The sole moment of genuine onstage tension is literally its first: A young man named Dennis (Christopher Denham) is sitting, watching porn and masturbating, when his mother Maryanne (Annette O’Toole) comes in. Did he, ahem, finish in time? Did she see anything? And where’s that pesky jacket of hers she’s sure she left in that chair over by the window? (By the way, all you newcomers: This is also the play at its most overtly Rappian.)
From then on, everything is internalized. The metastasized cancer that’s left Maryanne with a month, perhaps less, to live, inspiring her to take Dennis on their final vacation together. Dennis’s conflicted feelings: part severe pity, part frustration at the burden his mother’s condition is inflicting on him. After his mother leaves to attend a Rent-like Bohemian love-rock musical with the friendly taxi driver Herman (Ray Anthony Thomas) she just met, Dennis meets a beautiful young woman named Frances (Katherine Waterston) who steals into his hotel room and challenges his ideas of himself and of the acts of generosity on which all of human existence is generally based.
While Frances is adept at drawing dark truths out of Dennis (he admits to fantasizing about killing his mother, for example), she’s equally talented at holding back a few of her own. These become the threads of what little plot the play reveals late in its first act and early on in its second, and they form the basis for the show’s most inherently interesting scenes, the innocent and the violated colliding in neutral territory. Too much of the other dialogue, especially between Dennis and Maryanne, require absolutely naked honesty, hard admissions submerged in murky subtext; layering of feelings in that way is not Rapp’s greatest strength.
Exploring and exploding external representations of private turmoil is more his style, but this scenario allows little elbow room for such pensively symbolic game-playing. When it occurs here, ostensibly defining Maryanne’s heartlessly Heartland outlook (she and Dennis hail from a particularly Iowan part of Illinois), outlining Dennis and Frances’s tiptoe-around-the-subject pre-pillow talk, or delimiting a discussion about ordering Chinese food, it stands out as an intrusion, a non-sequitur that most directors would minimize to keep an unstable evening on track.
Because Rapp himself is the director, this doesn’t happen. He emphasizes these moments to invoke the quirky rhythms and halting vocal interplay he loves for showing his characters’ bemusement at living unamusing lives. But this only adds to the flotsam and jetsam in which the characters, and some actors, are floating. Waterston is least adept in navigating these waters, punctuating many of her lines with a forced detachment too heavy for Frances’s battle-scarred listlessness. Thomas has so few lines as the openly sympathetic Herman he barely needs to worry about it, but looks somewhat uncomfortable in his few minutes onstage.
Denham (who starred in Red Light Winter) and O’Toole, however, are spot-on, their scenes together painful but affecting depictions of the canyons that can form between parent and child over matters both miniscule (her buying him a sweatsuit) and vast (her reaching the end of her days as he’s coming to the beginning of his). Denham’s grouping Dennis’s many contradictory thoughts into a sleepwalking inertia and O’Toole’s relentless attempts to pierce it with her limited arsenal of maternal goodwill give their central pairing a grounding in humanity it doesn’t get from Rapp.
What their roles need is what the play needs: the vivid individuality of Rapp’s underworld-scraping works translated into real-world terms. Rapp spends so much time documenting eccentrics struggling with each other for the title of Most Unusual that his flesh-and-blood creations must become the walking dead to compensate. When Dennis says to his mother before her night out, “You look like a corpse,” he’s not joking. But so does he, and so do Frances and Herman, however hard they try to hide it. All four characters learn that kindness is a part of life, but Rapp hasn’t yet learned that life is the most important element missing from Kindness.

[Haskell-cafe] library for drawing charts
peteg42 at gmail.com
Sat May 24 05:33:08 EDT 2008
Has anyone got some code for drawing charts?
I don't mean graphs of functions, ala
and I don't mean calls to the Google Charts API ala
I would like something that can generate PNGs in memory, i.e. not
directly to a file.
This is close to what I have in mind:
I'd like 2D pie charts, bar charts and something like a google-o-meter.

Dynamite Entertainment Comics Now Available Through Dark Horse Digital
As of today, 38 single issues and eighteen collections from Dynamite Entertainment are available through Dark Horse Digital, with more to come each week, according to a news release from Dark Horse. Dynamite’s upcoming comics will be available through the Dark Horse Digital store the same day as print.
Dynamite Entertainment President Nick Barrucci told CBR that Dynamite’s comics will continue to be available through ComiXology and iVerse, but adding the publisher’s books to Dark Horse Digital “adds a new audience that we never would have otherwise.”
Dark Horse and Dynamite have natural similarities, both in genre and audiences. Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica share the same kind of sci-fi fun and adventure. Dark Horse has Conan the Barbarian, while Dynamite has Red Sonja. They have been home to the Whedonverse properties Buffy and Angel, while we have similar horror and fantasy properties like Vampirella and Grimm. Their Creepy and Eerie archives perfectly complement our Vampirella archives. It’s such a natural fit for both of us.
Dark Horse Digital will also be offering 50 free #1 issues through Friday morning at 9 a.m. PT, the release states. After that, the publisher will offer 10 percent off comic bundles in its web store all weekend, with Newsletter subscribers getting an even bigger discount.

Instead of celebrating the Chinese New Year like you usually do (by forgetting that it's the Chinese New Year), head to Red Lantern, because A) it kicks the crap out of Red Lobster, and B) they've got a special dim sum menu you're going to want to stuff in your face.
Because For Flava Dumplings are just things you give that Public Enemy rapper on his birthday, opt instead for these Four Flavor Dumplings filled with steamed char siu pork, rice, mushroom, carrot, & pea.
Take revenge on those complicated animals you could never take down on Nintendo unless you put the gun up to the screen with these warm, steamed buns filled with hoisin duck & mirin pickles.
Taro is the common name for the corms and tubers of several plants in the family Araceae. Taro chip nachos is the common name for these things covered in spicy salmon tartare, tobiko, and togarashi.
These pork ribs on-the-bone come with sweet onion, lemon soy, and crispy garlic, though take down too much, and you'll find yourself celebrating said meal the way you usually do: alone.

Infraction: Instant Perma-Ban

Message to User:
Original Post:So you may not have caught it (in fact, if you only watch Faux News, you definitely haven't caught it), but it seems the Republicans are involved in wide-scale voter fraud.
Should have known, any time the Republicans are loudly and adamantly accusing everyone else of something, they're likely guilty of it themselves and simply projecting their own insecurities and fears.
In a trend that's becoming ever more prevalent as it comes to light, even more cases of GOP voter fraud are now cropping up in Florida, as criminal charges are potentially being pursued. This all in light of the fact that their candidate himself is likely guilty of voter fraud. And all these ID laws that the right is pushing for? Of course, they wouldn't stop this type of abuse.
Long story short, the Republicans are brazenly trying to steal the election. And why shouldn't they? The only people who still support them at this point are fanatics (as anyone reasonable has realized that the party has utterly failed to budge an inch from the Bush administration's policies, and is pushing a joke of a candidate who is as extreme as he is incompetent), so why wouldn't we expect them to go the whole nine yards? We desperately, as a country, need to shine a spotlight on this.
Though, I'm sure we're not going to hear a PEEP on the topic out of our favorite Republican apologists who were so vocal about instituting voter ID laws (which wouldn't prevent the type of abuse the GOP is getting up to RIGHT NOW) to disenfranchise millions of voters for a non-existent problem, since this time it's their own party doing it
Romney down 28 points in the state where he was governor.
Ohio: Obama 53%, Romney 43%; Florida: Obama 53%, Romney 44%; Pennsylvania: Obama 54%, Romney 42%
And most recently, Ryan pretends that the policy is too complicated for the country to understand, when in fact itís too flawed for him to explain.
This on top of the fact that Romney is quite literally the only presidential contender who, upon making public appearances, actually drops in favorability. In fact, Mitt Romney has the lowest favorability rating of any presidential nominee in modern history, including all of the eventual losers. It's why the Republican pac's are desperately abandoning ship and putting their money on trying to win the house and senate instead.
Obama really doesn't have anything to worry about. Consequently, it's why the right is resorting to desperation tactics in the form of voter fraud posted above.

Variety is something most of us take for granted. Open your eyes; it is everywhere. God never seemed to run out of ways to show His love for variety in creation. Plants, animals, geography all show His handiwork using different sizes, colors and even textures. Man is living proof that God decided the more we differ, the more He liked us. Our homes may be alike on the outside. Step through the doors and see the variety of styles and colors chosen by the owners.
I like variety on my plate, too. My husband drives a truck and he like many other drivers eats a lot of ramen noodles. With a 12 volt appliance water is heated in the trucks and poured over the noodles. Quick and hot meals are better than a sandwich or costly truck stop buffets. I traveled with him for about six years and got very tired of ramen. I can understand the grumbling of God's children in the wilderness. Their daily manna met nutritional needs, but they desired a meat and potatoes diet. They dreamed of meat and maybe mashed potatoes and gravy on the side.
The people begged for meat and got more than they asked for. (Numbers 12:31-34) Quail came from the sea, blown in by powerful winds. They stacked it in piles measuring three feet high for miles. It took two days to gather the birds. "But before the meat could be eaten, the Lord became angry and sent a disease through the camp. After they had buried the people who had been so greedy for meat, they called the place Graves for the Greedy (Numbers 12:33-34 CEV)."

Winsted-Lester Prairie Journal, Aug. 21, 2000
A growing SJF gets attention in Winsted
By Jane Otto
It was Dick Youngblood's column in the May 21 issue of the Star Tribune that prompted Rep. David Minge's visit to SJF Material Handling, Inc. Thursday.
"What impressed me," said Minge, "was all the kinds of opportunities available to you guys through what your family was already doing, and then, you took this company and did this."
What Frank, Jim, and Stafford Sterner have done is take SJF, a company their father, Gerald Sterner, started to help finance his sons' education, and launched it into what Youngblood calls "a one-stop shopping center for clients opening new warehouses and distribution centers."
"Every year, people say that we'll never make it, but we're still here," Said Stafford Sterner.
"We're still a growth company," Frank Sterner told Minge. "What we did years ago wasn't accepted. Now, it is."
And what growth. SJF, for the past five years, has averaged 22 percent in growth, and projected $17 million in sales for the past fiscal year.
Conversation between the congressman and Frank, Stafford and Gerald Sterner ranged from small business beginnings to employment situations to inventory management systems.
The Sterners said the most difficult thing with starting a business is learning where you can go to ask questions. Compliance to rules and regulations is tough when a business doesn't know what it is supposed to be doing.
They credit Floyd Sneer, who at the time was the city's economic development director., for often pointing them in the right direction.
"It's very helpful, when you have someone who is proactive and comes out to businesses and says, 'Hey, do you know you can do this?'" said Stafford Sterner.
With Winsted at just 2 percent unemployment, Minge asked how they find employees.
"It's difficult," Frank Sterner answered.
Sterner said that you need to offer incentives and benefits. Sometimes, he said, it's hard to be competitive.
"Our health care premium increased over 25 percent from last year," said Frank Sterner.
He added that they wanted to maintain the same level of benefits, so the company just had to swallow the additional expense.
SJF has many Latino employees. Gerald Sterner could not speak highly enough of their strong work ethic.
The problem, said Frank Sterner, is that even if the company has all its paperwork in order, it is never absolutely certain if they have a green card.
Sterner told Minge of an incident last year when it was rumored that Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) was going to pay SJF a visit. Just the rumor alone caused 15 employees to walk.
"That hurt us tremendously. We lost excellent employees that we had trained for three to four years," said Frank Sterner.
The Latinos fear the INS even if they have the proper credentials said Gerald Sterner.
Stafford Sterner said they presently have about 80 employees, of which about 60 are full-time.
They also have the largest inventory in the nation of used material-handling equipment that sprawls over 11 acres in the southeast end of town.
Touring the massive yard of racks upon racks of equipment, Minge could only comment, "This is some inventory."
Frank Sterner said that nothing is refurbished until they have an order.
Now, however, they can help small distribution businesses get their feet on solid ground.
"If they can take something second-hand, we can get them started," said Frank Sterner.
But "new" is also in the game. Frank Sterner told Minge they recently built and installed seven miles of conveyors for Mervyn's in Salt Lake City, Neb.
A Web site, designed by Stafford Sterner, has contributed to almost 70 percent of company sales.
SJF sells and buys across the nation. They hear from companies in Mexico, India and Russia.
Forever an entrepreneur, Gerald Sterner asked Minge how he could help SJF find contacts in China to buy material to enable them to remain competitive in their field
"We gotta stay with the big guys," Gerald Sterner said.

In a number of places lately in education and educational technology circles we've noticed that the notion of "app life" keeps cropping up. "App life" refers to the length of time that a child gets use out of an app and the general conclusion of teachers and parents appears to be that longer use is better. This especially seems to be the case with paid apps.
We don't agree that it's this simple. Here's why:
When we're talking about a game or even a creativity/productivity app, we do agree that app life is a consideration. With these kinds of apps you'd like to know that your child will use them for a while. Particularly in the case of creativity/productivity apps you would like to know that the capabilities of the app will allow your child to use it for at least a school year, perhaps more than one.
Instructional apps, however, are a different story and we need to look at the purpose of each app individually. The purpose of an instructional app is to teach a learner a skill or set of skills. The best instructional apps are mastery-based, only allowing a learner to complete an app once the skills being taught are mastered. Some apps are focused on teaching a single skill (e.g., telling time); other apps are focused on teaching a range of concepts (e.g., number sense).
Now think about an app that focuses on a single skill in the context of "app life." Think of an app that focuses on teaching a child to tell time. Once "telling time" is mastered, the child shouldn't be using that app anymore. And if the app effectively and efficiently teaches the child to tell time, so much the better! The only reason a child would be using a single-skill app for an extended period of time is if the app is failing to teach.
Here's a story from an app developer we know: He sells an early childhood math app that has adaptive instruction and is mastery-based. This means that the the program adjusts its level of difficulty based on student performance and that the learner must master the current level of difficulty before moving on to the next. We aligned this app to nine Common Core State Standards for math and it scored very well according to our criteria. But here's the point: this developer heard from a parent who used the app with her child. She was upset because her child "only" got 15 hours of use from the app before everything had been mastered. The child enjoyed using the app, even asking to use it to do more math, and had mastered all of the skills within three weeks. And yet the parent was unhappy because she didn't think the child got enough use out of the app.
The parent paid $9.99 for the app. Admittedly, it's on the higher end of the price spectrum for many instructional apps. But is this a net loss because the child didn't use the app for several months? Imagine the scenario: the child is asking to do math, spends about five hours per week for three weeks doing that math, and then, after a total of 15 hours, has mastered multiple skills. Now that child can move on to another app that targets higher level skills. Isn't that what we want? Isn't that money well spent if our child has mastered a number of math skills? And if the answer to either of these questions is "no," then aren't we valuing the wrong things? Shouldn't we be valuing "progress made" over "time spent?"

Browband Headstall, 5/8", Coffee Colored
For Sale on eBay
Model: Browband Headstall, 5/8", Coffee Colored
Category: Western Bridles
Purchase: Purchased from Jeffers Equine for $29.90
Likes: Like the fact that it has stainless steel hardware and ties at the bit ends.
Dislikes: This headstall is advertised as horse size but it is cob or Arabian size instead (I measured it against an Arabian Western headstall I have, and the Arabian one was actually longer). This headstall is way smaller than Reinsman used to make even just a few years ago. I compared it to a friend's older headstall, and his was a good 4 inches longer than mine.
Quality: The leather is good quality, and the headstall is well made.
Summary: I was very disappointed that the headstall was so short as to be unusable on many of my horses. In contacting both Jeffers and Reinsman, they sounded very concerned and helpful, but it turned out to be "customer no service" after all. Reinsman at first offered to do a "special order" to make me a normal horse size headstall, but then later said they were too far behind to be able to do that. If they are going to cut corners and make Arabian size headstalls, they need to be marketed that way. Stay away unless you have a very short headed horse.
Usefulness Rating: 0 out of 5.

Few of them took advantage of the opportunity to stay completely away from the game.
With less than three weeks remaining in the regular season and the Beavers fighting to land a NCAA regional tournament berth for the fifth time in six seasons, Norris was among those who went to the batting cages in the McAlexander Field House on Tuesday.
Norris, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound, left-handed hitter from Urbandale, Iowa, was with sophomore shortstop Carter Bell, and they videotaped some of their swings while Kenny Chesney music twanged in the background.
"Everyone knows how important these last few weeks are, so there's no time off," Norris said. "People need to be on top of the game, and I think everyone knows that."
This season has been a struggle for Norris, whose inconsistencies at the plate cost him his job as the Beavers' starting first baseman against right-handed pitchers and relegated him to mostly spot duty in right field over the past month.
Heading into Friday's Pacific-10 Conference series opener against Washington at Goss Stadium, Norris is batting .183, well below his average last season when he batted .331 with 36 RBIs and earned all-conference honorable mention.
Norris, a junior, broke out of his seasonlong funk in Sunday's 6-5 victory over Oregon, going 2 for 4 with an RBI-single that broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth and a solo home run off Ducks' reliever Scott McGouch that gave the Beavers a 4-1 lead in the eighth.
He added another hit in Monday's 4-1 loss to San Diego and drove another ball about 398 feet to the warning track in center field that got caught.
"It was nice just to see some balls go into the outfield a little bit and run the bases," Norris said.
The Beavers (24-18, 7-11 Pac-10) would like to see Norris catch fire the way he did a year ago when he started 15 of the final 18 regular-season games at first base and batted .413 (19 for 46) with 12 RBIs and seven multiple-hit games.
"It was nice to see Jared do the things that he did Sunday, but that's something I think we can expect from him," senior left fielder Rob Folsom said. "There's no doubt we'll take anybody and everybody. You know, a bleeder here, a bunt there, a hit by pitch ... we'll take it all right now."
When the season started, Beavers coach Pat Casey counted Norris among the five or six players he hoped to pencil into the lineup on a regular basis. But when Norris got off to a rocky start, batting .182 (4 for 22) through his first 11 appearances, Casey explored other options at first base.
"I didn't get off to the start I wanted, but ... it's all on me," Norris said. "I just really wasn't doing what I was supposed to do.
"I wasn't pulling the trigger. I was getting into good hitter's counts, 1-0 and 2-0, and I just wasn't swinging. I'd see a fastball and just take it, and then I'd get two strikes and the pitchers would just start flipping change-ups or curveballs and I'd have to battle. I just wasn't attacking my pitches at the start of the at-bat."
When his name stopped showing up in the starting lineup on a regular basis, Norrris said "it was kind of hard to swallow," but he tried to not let the demotion get him down.
"We have so many good players on our team, if you're not going to produce, the next guy will," Norris said. "It's either you or the next guy. I mean, I got my chances. I just wasn't really producing."
When he didn't make consistent contact, the time between at-bats started growing longer and he started to press.
"Once you get your chance, you really want to show the coaches and your teammates that, 'I'm going to be in the lineup,'" Norris said. "But then you want to hit it harder and throw it harder, when what you really need to do is relax and have the confidence that you can do it. And then it just happens."
The Huskies (25-22, 8-10 Pac-10) are expected to start left-hander Geoff Brown in tonight's series opener, which means Norris isn't likely to start until Saturday or Sunday, when the Beavers expect to see two right-handed starters.
"Even when I was struggling, I was still coming to the field every day and thinking, 'I'm going to play. I'm going play,'" Norris said. "And then if I didn't, I didn't. But I think I'm going to be ready for my next start, and when I get the opportunity, I'm going to take advantage of it again.
"As a team, we just need to try to win every single inning and then let everything else take care of itself. Whatever has happened, happened. Now, we've just got to go play each game as if it's our last."
-- Jim Beseda

“Just Beneath the Surface,” the opening song on Dawes’ new album, “Stories Don’t End,” has melody, poignancy and cadence of the kind heard in the songs of one of this young Los Angeles band’s southern California predecessors, Jackson Browne.
Dawes, featuring singer-guitarist Taylor Goldsmith, his drummer brother, Griffin, keyboardist Tay Strathairn and bassist Wylie Gelber, toured with Browne in Europe, serving as his opening act and backup band.
“Yeah, we love Jackson and we’re all big fans,” Gelber said last week during a few days between Dawes’ 21-show run as Bob Dylan’s opening act and the band’s latest headlining tour.
“Playing with Jackson and learning his songs, inside and out,” the bassist said, “rubbed off on us, in terms of the arc of a song and the lift the songs have. Those are some of the greatest parts of Jackson’s music.”
Besides Browne and Dylan, Dawes’ connections to classic artists include TV appearances with Robbie Robertson and joining John Fogerty in the recording studio and on the stage last week for his appearance on “Late Show with David Letterman.”
Fogerty’s latest album, “Wrote a Song For Everyone,” features classics from the former Creedence Clearwater Revival front man, re-recorded with a gang of great guest stars, including Dawes, Foo Fighters, Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock, Zac Brown Band and New Orleans’ Allen Toussaint and Rebirth Brass Band.
Dawes collaborated with Fogerty for “Someday Never Comes,” a song from Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1972 album, “Mardi Gras.”
Dawes’ and Fogerty’s cross-generational recording session, their first in-person meeting, was serious but cordial.
“He’s the most outgoing, super-sweet person,” Gelber said. “But he was also very en pointe, super aware of all the parts and every musician in the band. He’s a joy to work with.”
Dawes found Dylan more distant.
“He sticks to himself,” Gelber said. “You kind of see him as he walks to and from the stage for the show or, if he goes to soundcheck, to and from that. Otherwise no real interaction.”
Even so it was cool for Dawes to be working with yet another great American songwriter.
“You gotta give it to the guy,” Gelber said. “Every show, even if he’s playing the same set, is different. His band is not locked into parts. He’s not locked into parts. He’ll start playing some motif on the piano. Then the band will pick up on it and, sooner or later, every song is changed from where it started.”
While the members of Dawes, whose members range from 22 to 31, don’t receive direct instruction from their famous elders, they learn through example.
“I learn less from them telling us specific things than by watching them as I play bass in their band,” Gelber said. “You learn from the experience of it all.”
Working with Dylan, Browne, Fogerty and Robertson has been a great pleasure for Dawes, but the band also has a growing legacy of its own.
“As much as I love to open up for Dylan and do all this stuff, I’m always the most excited when we get to out headlining. Tomorrow is the start of that. A bunch of the shows have been selling out.”
Dawes’ spring-into-summer tour includes the group’s New Orleans debut Tuesday at Tipitina’s. Despite never having performed in the city, Gelber visited when his father, Barry Gelber, worked as art director for HBO’s “Treme.” The bassist is a big fan of New Orleans and its music.
“George Porter Jr., he’s on my Top 5 list always,” Gelber said. “And I love Allen Toussaint and, obviously, the Meters, and Dr. John, Lee Dorsey, all that kind of stuff.”

Snow line is beginning to crash into parts of central Kentucky. The rate of snow will pick-up this evening and into the overnight. Some of these snow bands could produce 1"-2" per hour at times.
A Kentucky legend in Bluegrass music is gone.
Monday night, 27 NEWSFIRST learned of the passing of Homer Ledford.
Born in Tennessee, he moved to Kentucky, and lived in Winchester for 51-years.
Ledford made thousands of dulcimers, Kentucky's official instrument.
One of his dulcimers is on a rotating display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, along with a banjo he made.
His widow, Colista, told 27 NEWSFIRST they were married 53-years. She says her husband had been ill for about six months.
Homer Ledford was 79.
