Location API to integrate MyWakes into your software
Cut down on costs
Integrates MyWakes tracking, GPS location API quickly and easily, minimizing Time-To-Market and its costs
Browse the documentation and download the demos to start developing right away, using our dedicated website for real-time testing of the calls.
Implement the maps at no additional cost with the https protocol to ensure maximum security and privacy for your users.
Open to all languages
The MyWakes interfaces utilise standard ReST so they can be implemented using any programming language.
Designed for developers
MyWakes is open to all those wishing to integrate tracking services into their web or desktop applications. We’ve created an entire website specifically for this tracking and location API project, containing all the documentation and demo apps to help you develop your own tracking and geo-location app.
The website also provides an interface enabling you to test the calls and see the responses immediately, without writing code.
Extend MyWakes with GPS tracking and location APIs and more…
For every MyWakes event you can associate a call to a service available on any third party server using the GET, POST, PUT, DELETE methods and personalising HEAD and BODY.
Create your own fully featured tracking solution or integrate your existing app with the tracking functions and data collected from the MyWakes devices and platform, thanks to the hundreds of REST APIs available on the developer website.
Extend MyWakes by connecting it to your preferred services, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Fitbit, Slack, Skype and others, and to your IoT connected devices: Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Netatmo and many more.
Interface MyWakes with your preferred smart devices using Stringify.
Connect the MyWakes events in Microsoft Flow to simplify repetitive tasks through workflow automation.
Link MyWakes to those services allowing you to build additional automated workflows by connecting the others apps and services you use.
Integration with ERP management systems
MyWakes has developed a series of REST location API interfaces making two-way interaction with our cloud possible from any desktop or web-based ERP management system, so that you can obtain the current position, a track summary, detailed information on each route (including distances, idle times and drive times), view trips and all the stats, modify settings, obtain reports and much more.
Create your own tracking app
Use the MyWakes APIs to quickly and easily build a tracking app.
Use the calls to MyWakes to retrieve the mileage data from the vehicles within a fleet and generate trip reports.
Start right away
Go to developer.mywakes.com and download fully functional demo apps with source code.
MyWakes is Open
For years now we have been working together to develop Swagger, the world’s most popular framework for Open API 2.0 compliant REST APIs.
The MyWakes Developer project is designed to minimize Time-To-Market and infrastructure costs.
Now you can forget about infrastructure, databases and backups because we’ve got it covered: the MyWakes server farm uses cutting-edge technologies and a secure HTTPS communication channel.
Even developing code is simplified: not only can you test calls in real time on our dedicated developer website but you can also find client SDKs for more than 30 programming languages.
By accessing the developers section within your reserved area on the MyWakes website, you can check all your location API calls made, view the data actually received by the server and the response actually sent to your client in order to verify that the apps are functioning properly and to facilitate debugging.
You can also query the stats and check which calls are most frequently used and at what time of the day they are made.
Scalable, modular and secure
MyWakes can interact with any GPS-equipped device. PickWay, KeepWay and KittWay are already configured to work with the MyWakes infrastructure, then through implementation of the MyWakes REST APIs, literally any hardware device can be used.
The position acquired by the GPS signal is sent to the MyWakes infrastructure over a TCP/IP network (through the GPRS signal).
The MyWakes IT system then processes the information and stores it, making it available to users and with any type of device.
Based on standards
The MyWakes REST APIs are based on the OpenAPI standard specification, the model-driven approach for ReST services.
The MyWakes website dedicated to developers – developer.mywakes.com – was created with Swagger, the most popular open-source framework for REST APIs. It fully adheres to the OpenAPI specifications and contains all the documentation regarding the MyWakes APIs, enabling you also to test each command in a matter of seconds, before inserting it into your code.

Email Campaign Today: “If you want to succeed with email marketing, here are some of the top faux-pas you should be sure to avoid when it comes to things you shouldn’t include in your campaign.”
“I know what you did in your last Marketing campaign, do you?”
Email Campaign Today is one of the original and often most successful forms of digital marketing. But email is kind of like your favorite restaurant—just because it’s popular doesn’t mean you can let quality slide. One bad meal (or email) can have damaging effects on a brand.
We’ve all received a marketing email with a blatant spelling error or broken link. It happens, but it doesn’t do much for the credibility of the sender, and it might just go straight to the trash.
Avoid to many words ….Why?
The average adult’s attention span is 8 seconds…
To put that into context; a goldfish has an attention span of 9 seconds.
And if you’re on the other side of a marketing email, you want to avoid errors at any cost!
Today’s infographic by direct mail management company Citipost Mail will help you do just that. It lists 10 things to avoid in an email. And if something does go wrong (perish the thought), the graphic advises four steps to manage the damage.
For a checklist of what not to do in your next email campaign, see the Infographic “Email Campaign Today And 10 Ways To Ruin It”

Tumour stage has been demonstrated to have prognostic significance in canine oral malignant melanoma (OMM). Various evaluation techniques of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) have been reported for staging of head-and-neck tumours in people, but canine-specific data are limited, and reports for CT accuracy have been variable. In this prospective study, the head/neck of client-owned dogs with cytologically or histologically diagnosed OMM were imaged with 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/ CT. Bilateral mandibular lymphadenectomy was performed for histopathologic assessment. Two evaluation techniques for CT and PET were applied by four independent observers. CT evaluation utilized both a standardized grading scheme and a subjective clinical interpretation. PET evaluation was first performed solely on 18F-FDG-uptake in lymph nodes compared to background on a truncated scan excluding the oral cavity. Subsequently, the entire head/neck scan and standardized uptake value (SUV) measurements were available. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed with histopathology as gold standard. Twelve dogs completed the study and metastatic OMM was identified in six mandibular lymph nodes from five dogs. Of the CT-interpretation techniques, use of clinical grading performed best (sensitivity = 83% and specificity = 94%). Both PET techniques resulted in 100% sensitivity, but primary tumour site evaluation and use of SUV increased specificity from 78% to 94%. The SUVmax cut-point, 3.3, led to 100% sensitivity and 83% specificity. In this population of dogs, PET appeared to be highly sensitive but at risk of being less specific without use of appropriate parameters and thresholds.

This message from Aspen Ridge Dental in Casper is about proper nutrition and dental health.
Your diet can affect your risk of cavities, enamel health, and gum condition. Healthy foods provide an environment that can prohibit inflammation and infection. Vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts are the ideal choices for oral health. Calcium-fortified beverages, milk, and other dairy products provide vitamins, minerals, and calcium that assists in keeping teeth, bones, and gums healthy. Eating crispy fruits and vegetables, such as apples and celery, will help clean your teeth and gums.
A healthy diet contains all the critical vitamins and minerals, and the most important mineral for teeth is fluoride – especially for little ones. Between the ages of 6 months and 16 years old, both the primary and the permanent teeth come in, therefore adequate fluoride is critical.
Be sure to brush after each meal and before bed. In addition, remember to floss or use a water irrigating method to dislodge food particles trapped in spaces. By eating well, brushing properly, flossing regularly, and avoiding foods that stick to your teeth, you can have a beautiful smile for life. (And, hopefully, the physical vitality to complement that nice smile and the energy to enjoy both.)
At Aspen Ridge Dental in Casper we offer complete family dentistry services. People from Riverton and Douglas also come to our practice for dental implants, and much more. Call to schedule an appointment today!

Aside from payroll expenses, office space is one of the biggest cost items for businesses. In the last three decades, there has been an increase of 2 billion square feet of office space in the US. A superficial look at this data suggests that organizational need for office space is increasing, whether it's to cater to more employees or to set up conference rooms and the like.
Given the current lock-down circumstances, many companies are now losing money due to under-used office space. This is because the definition of the workplace is evolving. Previously, the workplace was where the company set up its base. However, in a highly digitized world, the workplace is where employees work from, which could be at home.
A Workspace Utilization and Allocation Benchmark study revealed that US companies could save millions of dollars annually by taking up more efficient methods of managing workspace. This is why businesses have been taking measures to trim excess office space over the last decade. As a result, hot-desking has emerged as a popular option for companies across different sectors.
With the threat of COVID-19, the need for efficient use of office space and building and room-level occupancy location monitoring has been further expanding. Read on to learn how COVID-19 will influence office needs from now on and the benefits of hot desking.
Over the last decade, organizations have been slowly integrating work from home strategies. However, COVID-19 has forced companies to expedite such processes. Due to the pandemic, measures such as lockdowns, curfews, and social distancing were put in various cities to control the spread.
As a result, business operations were greatly affected as not all employees could be allowed entry into the business premise at the same time. For companies in hard-hit areas, employees were not able to report to work due to the stay-at-home measures. With reduced productivity, there was an immediate and unprecedented threat to organizations.
A report by the University of South Carolina suggests that COVID-19 related business closures and partial reopenings will cost the US economy between 3 and 4 trillion dollars in a two-year period. To resume operations and mitigate such losses, companies were forced to enable their teams to work remotely.
As organizations make the shift from traditional, on-premise operations, the benefits of having remote teams have become more apparent. One of the primary benefits is increased productivity. A Global Workplace Analytics study suggests that if the US workforce works from home for half the time, the economy will benefit from an additional 5 million working hours. As a result, there will be an additional $270 billion injected into the economy. This is why, even post-COVID, it is expected that the adoption of teleworking will continue increasing.
As such, there will be an increased need for companies to reduce their office space and adopt measures to optimize office space use. Along with hot-desking, investing in building and room-level occupancy location and monitoring will also be essential.
In the traditional office setup, employees were given assigned workstations, each with their own desk. The assumption with this approach is that all employees work at the same time and spend most of the time at their work station. However, that's not necessarily the case, meaning that there's often a lot of unused office space at any given time.
This is why hot desking is fast gaining popularity. Hot desking is a system that grants teams flexibility and optimizes office space use by using a first-come, first-served approach. Instead of using an assigned desk each day, hot desking allows employees to select an open desk.
One key feature of hot desking is that it makes it easier for employees to alternate between working from home and in the office. This allows you to optimize office space use whilst capitalizing on the benefits of having a remote team.
In a study on employees' performance, there was a notable 13% increase in performance among employees working from home. There are a number of factors that contribute to this increase in performance. First, by eliminating commuting times, staff will be able to start the day earlier and even dedicate more time to projects later in the day.
Another key yet underestimated benefit of teleworking is that the added flexibility will give employees more determination to finish assignments. Going by a survey by The Happiness Index, personal determination is a significant contributor to employee performance.
Also, the hot desk approach increases on-premise productivity. The environment gives employees an increased sense of autonomy, thus boosting their motivation. For some of your staff, there may be a lot of distractions at home. In this case, each employee can choose to either work from home or at the office, ensuring they are where they're most productive.
It's not enough for your company to have excellent products and services for it to succeed. A crucial ingredient for organizational success is effective communication and collaboration between various departments and employees.
According to 86% of executives and employees, workplace failures can be attributed to ineffective communication and a lack of collaboration. Poor communication is also known as a big contributor to employee churn, meaning your company will consistently lose its best employees.
Hot desking removes staff from assigned desks where they can isolate themselves. It encourages movement around the office, increasing face to face interactions between employees. As a result, it becomes easier for staff to communicate and collaborate on projects, translating to greater efficiency and productivity.
Today, job hunting is not just about the salary you take home. Among millennials, flexibility is a top priority for 92%, and 79% believe it boosts productivity. Hot desking increases flexibility in the office and makes collaboration convenient.
If employees need to work on the same project, they can select desks on the same side of the office. Such flexibility and increased collaboration will increase employee satisfaction, thus reducing churn. Besides retaining your best staff, your company will also be attractive to top talent looking for flexible work environments. For hot desking to attract top talent, you must be clear with your policies and approach, for them to know it is taken seriously.
Over the last few decades, the entrepreneurial landscape has been continuously evolving. Many of the changes have been instigated by technological advancements that are, at times, disruptive. Therefore, companies must be agile to survive such changes. More importantly, organizations must be innovative to be the masters of change in their industries.
One of the biggest challenges of traditional office setups is that they stifle creativity. Employees do not interact a lot, thus reducing communication and collaboration, limiting the exchange of ideas, which is a key factor for creativity. Hot desking has the opposite effect on your office environment. It encourages movement and interactions in the office, thus boosting communication and collaboration. With such an environment, it is easier for staff to exchange ideas and innovate.
Innovation allows your brand to stay relevant and increase revenue despite the high level of competition and disruptions.
Commercial real estate is very expensive and usually makes up one of the major costs of running a company. Depending on your location and the nature of your business, it can even be the highest cost you incur. Considering that 40% of office space in the traditional workplace setup is unused at any given time, there is a great cost-saving opportunity in optimizing office space use.
In this regard, hot desking is an invaluable solution. Instead of paying for a lot of space that is not used most of the time. Hot-desking, combined with teleworking, allows you to reduce your office space needs.
Hot desking comes with a lot of benefits. However, you can maximize the value you get from it and ensure your staff's safety by tracking movement and building and room occupancy. Contact us today to find out how our solutions can help you reduce costs and help improve resource utilization and safety.

So We’re Homeschooling...Now What??
Just the thought of homeschooling to a newcomer can be so daunting and frightening! There are so many options out there - video classes, co-ops, full curriculums, mix and match curriculums, school planners, year-round vs. summers off, the list goes on and on. It can be so overwhelming and the knowledge that your children’s education and future depends on your choices only adds to the mental stress.
But you know what? I’m going to tell you a secret that I wish I had been told when we first started homeschooling. Five little letters that will make all the difference -
That’s it! Just relax and take your time - your kids will turn out fine! In my opinion, the best option when you first start homeschooling is to take a few months off (or longer) to just “unschool” and learn about your family, your kids, and yourself.
What are you going to use this time to do? Have fun with your kids, reconnect with them, read books with them, go on nature walks, go geocaching, paint rocks, cook, draw, and just learn what your kids are interested in.
When we first started homeschooling after I started my SAHM (stay-at-home mom) job, I had in my mind a very structured, timely schedule that I put pressure on myself to get the kids to follow. Big noob mistake!
The very first day that I was home with the kids I tried to follow my schedule, only to feel like a complete failure by the end of the day. The pushback I received from the kids made me wonder if I had made a grave mistake. But looking back now I realize that I had tried to completely change their routine in a day. No wonder there was pushback!
What I should have done is to just RELAX, and take a few months to reconnect with them, learn about them and what they liked to do. It would have made for a much smoother transition to homeschooling! Kids learn so much from just living life, watching us, and playing. So just relax during these first few months, and read, cook, and play with your kiddos. You won’t regret it and your planner definitely won’t miss it. You’ll gain irreplaceable time with them and make memories that will last a lifetime!
I’ll have another post soon going over what style of homeschooling style you may identify with. No one style fits every family so it’s nice to have a list to see what may work best for you!
Until then, relax, you’ve got this! <3

If you are thinking about living in Kentucky, or signing up for health insurance Kentucky in the state, there are some statistics that will appeal to you. These statistics show where Kentucky excels, and where there are problems, in terms of health and life related incidents and statistics. As with each state, Kentucky will be looking to improve on these stats as a whole, but this is where it is for now.
Health Insurance Kentucky Premiums and Contracts are Impacted by Some of These Stats:
– In terms of binge drinking, Kentucky is ranked 10th out of 50. This means that more people are less likely to get extremely drunk in this state as compared to others. This is good because it reduces hospitalizations with alcohol poisoning and liver diseases later in life.
– Violent crimes are another category where Kentucky is ranked 10th. This is a non-violent state, when you look at these stats. There are 40 other states where more crime takes place, which means that the low amount of injuries/deaths in violent crimes will also impact health insurance Kentucky.
– In terms of preventable hospitalizations, cancer deaths, smoking, poor mental health days and poor physical health days Kentucky is ranked 50th, 50th, 49th, 49th, and 49th, respectively. This is very poor, which means that long-term health is an issue. Health insurance comes into the play here, because people are more likely to use health insurance as they get older. Kentucky needs to do more to improve health awareness about smoking and about mental health.
Over the course of the year, Kentucky has gone from 44th to 43th overall in terms of healthy states. While it still means it is an unhealthy state, it is still an improvement. Kentucky will be hoping to move into the thirties at the end of 2013.

One of the early casualties of the First World War was, in many respects, the community pub or, more accurately the liberal consumption of alcohol on licensed premises. Before the outbreak of war, and partly because of the rising support of the temperance movement, urging the moderate consumption of alcohol, licensing laws began to restrict the opening hours of premises. But, immediately after the outbreak of war in August 1914, Parliament passed the Defence of the Realm Act which covered a range of measures to support the Allied effort of the war. A section of the Act looked specifically at the hours in which publicans could sell alcohol, as it was strongly believed that high levels of alcohol consumption would have a negative impact on the war effort. It therefore restricted opening hours for licensed premises to lunch (12:00 to 14:00) and later to supper (18:30 to 21:30).
But, even with these changes in force, the British Government became increasingly concerned about how the high levels of alcohol consumption still threatened the productivity of the war effort and high work ethics. If anything, consumption was increasing because in many cases wages were rising, particularly for those in industries vital to war, such as shipbuilding, as overtime became the norm. A campaign to persuade people to consume less alcohol led by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George, had little effect, so in October 1915 the British government announced a further series of measures they believed would reduce alcohol consumption further. A ‘No Treating Order’ laid down that any drink ordered was to be paid for by the person supplied, so to dissuade rounds of drinks or drinks on credit. The maximum penalty for defying the Government order was six months’ imprisonment.
However, the government also became increasingly concerned about the increase in alcohol consumption in specific areas of the country vital to the war effort. An enormous cordite munitions factory built to supply ammunition to British forces had been established in the town of Gretna, just over the Scottish border, 12 miles north of the English city of Carlisle, employing over 15,000 workers. Although most of the workers were well-behaved, the cases of drunkenness, anti-social behaviour, and resulting convictions quadrupled. There was also a heightened risk of hampering the war effort through increased sick absences and the threat of serious accidents as workers had to manually handle nitro-glycerine and guncotton into cordite paste, and load the matter into shell cases.
In June 1916, in a decision involving both central Government and the local authorities, the newly formed Central Control Board took control of five local breweries and 363 licensed premises covering 300 square miles including parts of north and west Cumberland, south west Scotland, and the city of Carlisle, ‘for the duration of the war and 12 months thereafter’. The Scheme became known as the Carlisle Experiment and its records are housed in two series of records at The National Archives: HO 185 and HO 190. Both series record how the Board achieved this and how they further controlled the drinking habits of individuals, without resorting to restricting personal liberty. The Board acted quickly, closing nearly 40% of public houses by 1917 and revoking all off-sales licenses. All advertising referring to alcohol was illegal and a ban was placed on the display of liquor bottles in windows. Within the state-owned public houses (many of which remained state-owned until 1971), strict opening hours were enforced, the managers became government employees on a fixed salary and offered no inducement to increase alcohol sales (in fact, commissions were given to the sales of non-alcoholic drinks and food only). The sale of food was actively encouraged and ‘snug’ bars were re-purposed as eating areas. Pubs were made to be attractive to women and families and table service was introduced. Drinks prices were fixed by the state, to avoid competition between the different pubs. The sale of ‘chasers’ – spirits accompanying beer – was banned. The only beer to be served was that brewed by the local, government-owned brewery. This was brewed at a reduced level of alcohol or was, effectively, watered down. Furthermore, it was also prohibited to serve alcohol to people under the age of 18, as was the selling of spirits on Saturdays.
By the end of the war, the government’s national measures were proving successful. In addition to measures introduced under the Defence of the Realm Act, the government also significantly increased the level of tax on alcohol. In 1918 a bottle of whisky cost £1, five times what it had cost before the outbreak of war. This helped to more than halve the consumption of whisky during this period. Similarly, on a national level, convictions for drunkenness also fell dramatically during the war. In London in 1914, 67,103 people were found guilty of being drunk. In 1917 this had fallen to 16,567.
But what about at the local level, in particularly in Cumberland where more severe measures were introduced? Were these more or less successful? Both series include papers relating to individual pubs and are essentially case studies. One such pub was the George Inn, in Warwick Bridge, four miles east of Carlisle. The case study of this, if typical of others, would suggest that there was mixed success. Whatever the outcome, these records form a fascinating picture of what life was like in rural England during and after the First World War.
Originally called the Co-operative Inn, the pub at Warwick Bridge was renamed the George Inn in 1918 to endeavour to improve its bad reputation for drunkenness. The pub was acquired by the CCB (Liquor Traffic) under powers conferred upon the Board by the Defence of the Realm Act (No 3), 1915. The Licensee (a Mrs Daly) was informed of this on 16 March 1917; initially, the Board was content to allow the resident licensee to continue the business providing she was willing to abide by the new terms and demonstrate that she could run the business effectively. This information proved hard to get as the document HO 190/1079 shows.
Eventually, contact was made on 18 October, 1917. This resulted in an inspector’s visit, the removal of all stock, the temporary closure of the pub, the appointment of a new manager, a Mrs Mary Ann Heslop, and a new name: The George Inn!
The George Inn opened in the spring of 1918 in the hope that the new licensee would bring some order to proceedings with the support of the Board and the local constabulary. According to one ‘onlooker’ who writes to the Board on 29 November 1919, this was far from the case (HO 190/231), though this was not fully corroborated by an inspector’s visit on 5 December 1919.
The record goes on to show that following a number of approved alterations to the premises, Mrs Heslop remained licensee until her resignation in October 1928, when she was replaced by a Mr Edward James Little.
Not all of the alterations were viewed as improvements as a notice board petition shows in 1933, and which was favourably received by the Board.
Following Mr Little’s unexpected death in 1934, his widow, Jane, became licensee. The file ends in 1937 but the Board continued to manage the pub alongside many other Cumberland pubs until the late 1960s. There was national debate in the 1920s to consider whether the British government should extend nationalisation to all pubs in England and Wales, debated at a time when the sale of alcohol in the US was prohibited. The records HO 185/17 and HO 185/22 examine this in great detail. What became known as the Carlisle Experiment had supporters as well as critics. The Temperance Movement argued that the pubs should be returned to private hands claiming the scheme had proved to be a disaster, actively encouraging women and children into premises serving alcohol.
But many felt the scheme had breathed new life into pubs, with much needed modernising and investment. Indeed, they were operating at a profit which went back to the taxpayer. In the end, the government decided against full nationalisation but to continue the operation of the Board in the Carlisle area, whilst nationally retaining many of the restrictions imposed by the Defence of the Realm Act. For example, the restrictions of opening hours remained largely in force until the 1970s, with further relaxation in the late 1980s and later in the 2000s.
Originally from Brampton, four miles east of Warwick Bridge, I began to use the George in the early 1980s. Not renowned for its real ale, it definitely had a strong community feel about it and had its own darts team, domino team and, popular in Cumbria, annual leek show entrants. It struggled with the smoking ban and downturn in the economy and had its fair share of anti-social behaviour in the new millennium, before it finally closed its doors in 2007; in its place now stands residential flats, across the road from the Co-operative food store, a link to the pub’s original name 100 years before.

Saudi Oger in talks to sell its 21 percent stake in Arab Bank
Experts raise doubts to what extent the upcoming share sale Jordan-based bank will help solve debt crisis
Dubai - Saudi Oger has begun talks to sell its 21 percent stake in Arab Bank, which could raise an estimated $1 billion.
The sale comes following the difficult financial circumstances faced by the company, which had to restructure billions of dollars’ worth of debt, according to Al Arabiya.Net. Economic experts raise doubts to what extent the upcoming sale of the company’s shares in the Arab Bank will help solve the debt crisis.
Jordan-based Arab Bank operates across the Middle East and has a total of 600 branches on five continents.
Saudi Oger was founded in 1978 and operates in construction, engineering, facility management, real estate development and communication through the mother company and its subsidiaries.
Among the subsidiaries and affiliate companies where Saudi Oger has invested are Sheraton Riyadh Hotel and Towers, where it owns the entire stake, 40 percent of Tihama Power Generation Company Limited, and 8.6 percent in Saudi Investment Bank.
The Company has also invested in the Arab Bank via a subsidiary, owning 21 percent of the bank.
Saudi Oger bought 55 percent of Turk Telekom in 2005 through Oger Emirates Telecom for $6.6 billion.
Oger Telecom Emirates is owned by three different parties - 47.3 percent by Saudi Oger, 35 percent by Saudi Telecom, while the remaining shares are held by a Turkish investor.
Saudi Oger controls many entities like the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and a number of hotels such as the Ritz Carlton Riyadh, Le Meridien Towers in Makkah, as well as the airports of King Khaled International airport in Riyadh, and Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah.
Oger has an important status in the Middle East, Asia and Europe, since it has subsidiary companies all over Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon, Morocco , Jordan, Turkey, Britain, France, China, India, Italy, and the Philippines.
The falling of oil prices had a major adverse impact on Saudi Oger, which relies heavily on governmental projects. The company is worth $4 billion (15 billion rials), while the money the company owns to the contractors and workers is around $666 million (2.5 billion rials).
*This report was first published in AlArabiya.net on October 18, 2016.

- Green graphic features hundreds of different hops to try and throw you off scent
- Current record stands at an impressive 15 seconds - but can you do any better?
A new alcohol-themed brainteaser has left even the most eagle-eyed of puzzlers stumped - so you better not have your beer goggles on!
The tricky graphic, created by Simply Hops and the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), challenges the nation to spot the beer glass hidden among the hops.
But with a black background featuring hundreds of intricately detailed green hops, it may be more difficult to solve than you think, so try not to get too distracted!
The designers have revealed the current record stands at an impressive 15 seconds - but have you got what it takes to do any better?
A tricky graphic, created by Simply Hops and the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), challenges the nation to spot the beer glass hidden among the hops (pictured)
Following the closure of all pubs, bars and restaurants, the brainteaser has been created to celebrate the launch of new website BeerisHere - which aims to help save thousands of small independent breweries, taprooms, bottle shops and retailers across the UK and Europe affected by the pandemic.
It comes after the Prime Minister announced on Friday all cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants must close as part of measures to curb the spread of coronavirus.
Meanwhile, with more people now working from home and social distancing, SimplyHops is also encouraging people to join a virtual social hangout organised by their local breweries at 5pm every Friday.
So, have you managed to find the sought-after object in the graphic? If you're struggling, you can find the answer below, circled in red.
For those who give up, the answer can be found towards the left-hand side of the image, circled in red
Another baffling new brainteaser, created by illustrator Gergely Dudás from Hungary, challenges the public to spot a hidden bumblebee among a field of flowers and cartoon animals.
Since being shared on Facebook, the viral puzzle has seen many claim they've spent more than 30 seconds trying to find the well-hidden insect.
But while hundreds struggle to solve the brainteaser, could you be the one to set a new record?

While some of us are wary of getting too close to bees in fear of being stung, trying to find the insect in this busy puzzle requires you to look very closely.
If you're still struggling to spot the bumblebee, try looking at the flowers closest to the raccoon eating an apple.
Gergely, who is perhaps best known as Dudolf, boasts over 152,000 likes on Facebook for his illustrations and quirky brainteasers.
His latest hiding bee puzzle has already been shared almost 1,000 times on the social media platform.
The insect can be spotted lurking on a flower towards the top left of the busy graphic (pictured)
Another puzzle is challenging beady-eyed users to find the only holidaymaker reading a book in this vibrant beach scene.
Bikini-clad women and men sporting swimming shorts are shown relaxing on their beach towels as they catch some rays.
But in the puzzle, created by a US-based travel company Official-esta.com, just one figure is enjoying a holiday read.
You have just 30 seconds to try and beat the puzzle so scroll down to give it a try before checking your answers at the bottom - but don't cheat!

A tricky new puzzle by international firm Official-esta.com has challenged beady-eyed users to find the only holiday maker reading a book - but can you find it in thirty seconds?
If you're still struggling to spot the person, we can give you a clue - it is a woman and she is sitting near and umbrella.
Still can't find her? Look towards the bottom centre of the image and you'll find the person you're looking for.
The puzzle follows the style of quiz made popular by Hungarian cartoonist Gergely Dudas, better known as Dudolf.
Among the puzzle, created by an online visa assistance processing firm Official-esta.com, is a figure enjoying a holiday read - seen circled
He recently shared a side-by-side pictures show animals enjoying ice cream in a park, but with seven subtle differences between the drawings.
The original picture seen on the left shows two bears giving out ice cream from a stand, as a deer plays football with a bunny and a hedgehog enjoys a snack.
Meanwhile two baby penguins play on a mat while a turtle sports sunglasses on his shell as the animals enjoy a sunny day out.
Hungarian cartoonist Gergely Dudas previously shared a riddle to mark the end of the summer - but can you spot the seven differences between the right and left hand picture?
The hand-drawn image even shows a few of the animals teasing the followers, holding up a sign which reads: 'Can you find seven differences?'.
However in the right-hand picture seven subtle adjustments have been made, visible only to the eagle-eyed and revealed in the picture below.
Dudas first became an online sensation after his deceptively difficult seek-and-find puzzle featuring a panda hidden among a group of snowmen swept the internet in December 2015.
He now produces puzzles for most major holidays - and delights followers by posting random editions throughout the year.

Every website that you visit consists of a domain name and a web host. The easiest way to picture it is to think of the domain name as the address and the hosting as the physical building.
When you’re browsing the web and you type in a URL (i.e. http://www.hostina.co), your web browser basically queries that domain name (i.e. hostina.co) and asks it where the website is hosted. The browser then loads up the contents that are stored there.
Hosting is effectively the process of using a server to host a website, and there are all sorts of different types of hosting available out there on the market. Hostina, just like most web hosts offers different packages so that their customers can pay for just the resources that they need. The more popular the website is, the more resources it’s likely to need to function effectively.
The good news is that with Hostina, you can scale your hosting package as and when you need it, so you can start off with Single hosting plan and gradually upgrade to Business or even VPS plan later.
Your website is basically a collection of files and (in most cases) database that are served up to your visitors as they browse around it. Hostina will allocate space for you to store your website and database.
When you sign up Hostina, you’ll receive login details to access your hosting account’s admin panel.
At Hostina, we offer custom built hosting control panel. Using our control panel you can carry out basic hosting management, monitor resource usage, create email addresses and install content management systems (CMSs) like WordPress. Note that this is different to the admin panel for your website, which will be created when you install a CMS. This is the admin panel for your server as a whole.
Yes! Hosting comes in all different shapes and sizes, with different setups suitable for different types of a webmaster. In general, hosting can be broken up into the following categories:
Shared Hosting: This is usually the cheapest form of hosting because it’s the most economical when it comes to the use of hardware. Shared hosting means that multiple different websites are all hosted on the same server, with each user being allocated a certain amount of storage space and a certain amount of resources. This is often the best option for hobbyists and bloggers.
VPS Hosting: A virtual private server (VPS) setup is like a shared hosting setup on steroids. It generally uses more powerful hardware and takes its name from the fact that while multiple websites are being stored on the same physical hardware, each uses virtualisation software to allow them to operate independently as though they were dedicated mini-servers.
Dedicated Hosting: Dedicated hosting is a good choice for the pros, and like its name suggests, it involves the use of a server that’s dedicated to a single website. In other words, unlike shared and VPS hosting, the user doesn’t have to share storage space and resources with other people and they have a physical piece of hardware all to themselves.
Cloud Hosting: Cloud hosting allows webmasters to tap into a large bank of servers that are all interlinked and designed to take over from each other if needed. In other words, if you need more resources, the cloud will provide more resources to rise to the demand. Cloud hosting is usually the best option if you want to aim for 100% uptime and don’t care how much you need to pay for it.
Hostina provides a mix of shared and cloud hosting. This setup allows us to provide fast hosting with nearly 100% uptime at an unbeatable price.
That depends – what kind of website do you have? And what’s your budget?
As a general rule, shared hosting is the best place to start, and Hostinger’s hosting is suitable for almost any kind of website. Our hosting helps you to keep the costs down during the early days of your website while allowing you to pay only for the resources that you need. If your website starts to take off, you can easily upgrade to higher tier plan and pick up some extra resources.
Ultimately, every website is different. If you’re not sure, why not get in touch with our team so we can chat it through with you and make a personalized suggestion based on your needs?
Yes! In fact, this is usually what we recommend, and it’s one of the benefits of choosing Hostinger as your hosting provider. We make the upgrade procedure as simple as possible so that you can start on our budget plans and upgrade as your website starts to take off. We’re there alongside you at all times and we’re ready to grow with you!
Many other hosting providers will try to talk you into taking out plans that you neither need nor want. We disagree with that. We believe you should pay only for the resources that you need.
A VPS stands for “Virtual Private Server.” Let’s break it down: as the name suggests, it is a private server, which means, that it will be exclusively yours. Having a VPS service gives you a set amount of resources that you don’t need to share with anyone. It’s kind of like having your very own dedicated or private server, but virtual.
In this case, “virtual” means that it is a partition on a physical server, that is dedicated to you. This virtual server gives you the chance to gain root access, install your preferred OS and work on your project with unparalleled freedom.
We take care of the back-end business, manage the physical servers, guarantee speed, uptime, and stability, while you can focus entirely on your project
The two services are similar, but there are some fundamental differences. A VPS server will let you create multiple instances on a single dedicated server. While a VDS or Virtual Dedicated Server will do the same, but take up the entirety of the dedicated server.
Virtual Private Server hosting is the perfect price-power option for large projects as it grants large amounts of dedicated resources and the most control while being infinitely cheaper than having your own physical dedicated server.
VPS and Shared hosting have some similarities, but they’re fundamentally different kinds of services.
Shared hosting packages are aimed for small projects, such as personal blogs and similar sites. Resource intensive or high-traffic projects might encounter issues while using a shared hosting service. Shared hosting is incredibly beginner friendly and fully managed, which means that our customer support team will be able to help out with most issues that might occur with your project.
VPS hosting, on the other hand, provides you with dedicated resources that you don’t need to share. Every virtual private server hosting plan makes sure that you get the highest control of your resources. Control your CPUs, Burst RAM, manage root access and use your preferred OS. The downside of VPS hosting is that, while we cover the back-end and server monitoring, maintaining it 24/7, we can provide limited help to your project concerning customer support. While all VPS hosting and control panel questions we will help with, programming, coding and other queries of similar nature won’t be covered.
The best time to turn to VPS hosting is when you have gathered up the technical knowledge that you may need for this endeavor or when your shared hosting account no longer provides enough resources for your project, and you need to go bigger!
Of course! We have prepared 6 different plans that can fit any project. With every growth period, you can nearly seamlessly pick a more powerful plan and upgrade with no downtime at all.

We live with only her salary which is like 300euros..There been many times that we didn't have nothing to eat especially when we pay bills and my school. My mother also get from bank credit money for my school and the half of her salary goes to bills and half for my tuition. I see how she is struggling ,and i now how to help her. I really wish here are people with good hearts that can understand position that me and her are now.Also this year was hard for us two because my father left us.Many times i couldn't fall asleep at night ,stayed in the room and thinking how she brave and strong woman she is.And can't stand to see her crying...I really want to help us and get my salon and start working even if i am on Faculty of law.She done so much for me,and i feel the need to get repay to her for everything that she done ,do and will be doing in the future for me .She will be proud of me.

January 24, 2013
If you’re a UCLA football fan, you should remember Kai Forbath, arguably the best kicker in UCLA history, up there with the likes of John Lee.
According to Wikipedia, take a look at his career in the NFL to date:
After being projected as the second-best kicker in the 2011 NFL Draft, Forbath was not selected. However, on August 2, 2011, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie free agent, and was subsequently placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. He was waived on April 16, 2012.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed Forbath off waivers on April 17, 2012. During preseason, Forbath made five out of five field goal attempts, including a successful 55-yard kick.
The Washington Redskins signed Forbath on October 9, 2012, replacing Billy Cundiff. Forbath made his NFL and Redskins debut in an impressive fashion, knocking through a 50-yarder as his first career NFL field goal in the home game against the Minnesota Vikings on October 14, 2012. He was also a perfect five of five on extra points, as the Redskins defeated the Vikings 38–26. His performance was essential in the Redskins’ victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14, where he recorded 48 and 49-yard field goals and then a game-winning 34-yard field goal in overtime.
On December 23, 2012, Forbath set the NFL record for consecutive field goals to begin a career with 17 in a row, beating Garrett Hartley, who previously held the record at 16. The ball was sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Question: How stupid do you think Dallas must feel?
January 24, 2013
As a relatively frequent traveler with a computer bag, I laughed at this until I realized how often I put my PC down. Bitlocker-encrypted or not, if I were to lose my laptop… whoaaaanelly. My only saving grace would be that I use the cloud for the frequent backup of my data but damn is this easy.
January 7, 2013
If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent a good part of the holiday catching up on the movies & TV that… well… you wish you had the time & energy for during the rest of the year. This season, I got the chance to hunker down on my DVD collection, Netflix, and Xbox Live Video and start viewing away. Yay!
Here’s what I’ve hit up so far:
- Indie Game: The Movie
‘Indie Game: The Movie’ is the Sundance Award Winning Feature documentary about Video Game Designers. Indie Game: The Movie is the first feature documentary film about making video games. It looks specifically at the underdogs of the video game industry, indie game developers, who sacrifice money, health and sanity to realize their lifelong dreams of sharing their visions with the world. After two years of painstaking work, designer Edmund McMillen and programmer Tommy Refenes await the release of their first major game for Xbox, Super Meat Boy-the adventures of a skinless boy in search of his girlfriend, who is made of bandages. At PAX, a major video-game expo, developer Phil Fish unveils his highly anticipated, four-years-in-the-making FEZ. Jonathan Blow considers beginning a new game after creating Braid, one of the highest-rated games of all time. Four developers, three games, and one ultimate goal- to express oneself through a video game. Indie Game: The Movie is about the creative process and putting yourself out there through your work. It’s a journey many filmmakers, creators, artists, entrepreneurs – many people, can relate to in the digital era.
- Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Jiro Dreams of Sushi is the story of 85-year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious three-star Michelin Guide rating, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar. Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection, chronicling Jiro’s life as both an unparalleled success in the culinary world and as a loving yet complicated father.
- Trek Nation
The documentary “Trek Nation” explores “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry’s vision and its impact on viewers’ lives through the eyes of his son Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, Jr., who is on a quest to know his father whom he lost at age 17.
- The Captains
Since first soaring onto television screens in the 1960s, Star Trek has become one of the most beloved franchises of all time. Now, the original Captain Kirk, William Shatner, travels around the globe to interview the elite group of actors (Chris Pine, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew and Scott Bakula) who have portrayed the role of Starship Captain, giving fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the pop culture phenomenon as well as the men and women who made it so.
- Holy Rollers: The True Story Of Card Counting Christians
Holy Rollers follows the rise of arguably the largest and most well-funded blackjack team in America-made up entirely of churchgoing Christians. While they succeed in taking millions from casinos, how will they manage to find a place for faith and God in the arena of high stakes gambling?
- Breaking Vegas
Do you dream about beating the odds? Then check out this fascinating documentary focusing on a group of six M.I.T. students who used their impressive math skills to win millions from Las Vegas’ gambling palaces. Through interviews with the card-counting collegians, security experts, and casino executives, you’ll learn how the young men pulled off the daring feat–and how they were eventually caught. Based on the best-selling book “Bringing Down the House.” 75 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; bonus programs.
- Dogs Decoded
Dogs have been domesticated for longer than any other animal on the planet and humans have developed a unique relationship with these furry friends. We treat our pets like a part of the family and feel that they can understand us in a way other animals can’t. Now new research is revealing what dog lovers have suspected all along: Dogs have an uncanny ability to read and respond to human emotions. Humans in turn respond to dogs with the same hormone responsible for bonding mothers to their babies. How did this incredible relationship between humans and dogs come to be? And how can dogs so closely related to fearsome wild wolves behave so differently? It’s all in the genes. DOGS DECODED investigates new discoveries in genetics that are illuminating the origin of dogs-with big implications for the evolution of human culture as well. In Siberia the mystery of dogs’ domestication is being repeated-in foxes. A fifty-year-old breeding program is creating an entirely new kind of creature a tame fox with some surprising similarities to Man’s Best Friend. THE DOGS DECODED reveals the science behind the remarkable bond between humans and their dogs.
- 2016: Obama’s America
Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires, into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future.
- We Are Legion: The Story of the Hackitivists
We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists takes us inside the world of Anonymous, the radical “hacktivist” collective that has redefined civil disobedience for the digital age. The film explores the historical roots of early hacktivist groups like Cult of the Dead Cow and Electronic Disturbance Theater, then moves to Anonymous’ raucous and unruly beginnings in the online forum 4Chan. Through interviews with current members, members recently returned from prison, others currently facing trial, writers, activists and major players in various “raids,” WE ARE LEGION: The Story of the Hacktivists traces the collective’s evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown movement with a global reach, the most transformative civil disobedience of our time.
- Beyond the Myth
”Unfairly known as violent killers, Pit Bulls have suffered from the stigma of negative media coverage that has lead to city-wide bans across the country. This breed-specific legislation has torn pets away from families, and killed thousands of innocent dogs across the country. Stripping away the preconceptions to show the loving companions they can be, Beyond the Myth is an important, must see film for all dog lovers.”
- Shelter Dogs
Each year, almost 5 million dogs end up in animal shelters – but not every dog is safe to place with a family. What if a shelter dog shows aggression, or is a known biter – should he be adopted out? For two years filmmaker Cynthia Wade was given unprecedented access to Rondout Valley Kennels and its controversial owner Sue Sternberg, and the result is an award-winning film about ethics in a morally ambiguous world.
- Get A Life!
Based on William Shatner’s hugely popular book (in response to his infamous “Saturday Night Live” skit), this hourlong documentary looks at the mystery, longevity and cultural phenomena of “Star Trek” and its obsessed fans known as “Trekkers.”
- Dealing Dogs
Each year, 42,000 dogs are sold to veterinary schools and research labs by Class B dealers, who are required by federal law to buy the animals from pounds, shelters and small breeders and to treat them humanely. However, many Class B dealers violate the law. DEALING DOGS exposes the abuses that took place at one of America’s most notorious Class B dealers – Martin Creek Kennel in Arkansas.
Patriocracy, a voice of reason in the age of polarization. Patriocracy is a non-partisan examination of Washington dysfunction. Alan Simpson, Bob Schieffer, Eleanor Clift, Pat Buchanan, Senator Mark Warner and Senator Kent Conrad are just a few of the notable Washington personalities who offer their valuable perspectives. Patriocracy drills down and illustrates the forces that drive a wedge into the middle ground of America and the solutions required to move forward.
The word orphan is troubling to most of us. It’s one of those words that instantly evokes visions of dastardly headmasters and wicked headmistresses. We imagine scenes of defenseless children grappling indelible scars of loneliness and abandonment, molding them into unfortunate victims of fate and neglect. These are fair preconceptions that are not without basis in the American experience. But there is another side to the story… Homecoming unfolds as a conversation between 15 men and women who grew up in four American orphanages. Their stories echo the experience of thousands of men and women, throughout the country, and around the world. In these intimate, moving and sometimes hilarious stories, the incredible resilience of humankind shines through in vivid relief. Ultimately what remains is a picture of the remarkable strength of those who found a family in the most unlikely of places.

Here’s a checklist of things to do upon arriving into McCarron International:
Don’t get longhauled. Clearly utter the words, “SHORTEST DISTANCE – TAKE PARADISE” to your cabbie. Unless you’re going downtown, there’s no scenario in which you should be “taking the freeway”. If you find yourself going through a tunnel – you are being what is called “longhauled” or intentionally taken for a longer ride that you should. This will make the ride cost $10 more than it should. This is ILLEGAL. If this happens, get the cab number, the driver name, the cabbie’s permit #, the cab company, license plate if possible, and the general look of the cab… then report it here:
- HOTEL: REGISTRATION
Before you get to the registration desk, be sure to have your driver’s license, your credit card, and a $20 bill to tip the front desk clerk. Fold the $20 into 4ths and place it in between your driver’s license & credit card and hand it to the clerk and ask to check in. If you don’t know why you’re doing this, visit http://frontdesktip.com.
- HOTEL: ROOM SETUP
If you have a Purell wipe, take one & wipe down the TV remote – this is the #1 most germ/bacteria ridden item in the room. Next, wipe down the phone handset, the clock radio, the thermostat, & RJ-45 cabling for the wired Internet connection if you’ve got one. You don’t want to know what’s been discovered on these items in hotel rooms & remember: Across the thousands of guests that pass through your room, these items are NEVER cleaned or wiped down. It’s up to you to stay healthy for the next 5 days.
- HOTEL: REQUEST HUMIDIFIER
I hope you arrived early. If you did, you may have a shot of requesting a humidifier for your room. Do it immediately: Vegas during CES is DRY AS A BONE. This will not only make your stay much more comfortable, it will keep your skin from getting itchy & will keep the static electricity in your room to a minimum.
- HOTEL: BEDSPREAD & CHAIRS
This is going to sound paranoid but if you think about it for just a moment, it’ll start to sink in: Ask the front desk for a new bedspread. Spill some water on it or some soda if you have to. Then lay a towel over the desk seat. Why? The bedspread is RARELY CLEANED. You are using the same bedspread that was used by over 2 months worth of occupants. And you can bet most weren’t wearing clothing. Now think about all those same guys sitting in the desk chair… with no pants on. Yes. Let that sink in. Now go get a damned towel & cover the seat with it.
- HOTEL: LEAVE HOUSEKEEPING A TIP
Leave a tip with a note stating that the money’s for the housekeeping staff. They appreciate this & if you ever need something – extra towels, sheets, pillows – that tip will go along way to making sure it gets delivered within this lifetime. If you have the same housekeeper coming through every morning, it can’t hurt.
- FIND THE HOTEL CES SHUTTLE PICKUP/DROPOFF
Determine the location of the CES shuttle for you to use in the morning. Find out when they start & end – because they don’t run all day. Also find out if they’re running on Monday so you can pick up your badge if necessary. Badge pickup is WAY in the back of South Hall I’m afraid and is more than a quarter mile walk so.

Interesting. Asking Quora about Google’s evilness produces are number of good points.
This is a great summary of how much of a ridiculous pass Google gets in the public & the media. Remember that all of these quotes were said publicly:
“The Top Ten Things We Can’t Believe Eric Schmidt Ever Said”
Sam Biddle, Gizmodo – Jan. 21, 2011, 8:38 AM
Eric—it’s been great. We’re going to miss you as CEO of one of history’s most important and influential companies. But we’ll also miss you for the strange, creepy, absurd, and downright dumb things you’ve uttered. Below, our favorites:
- “One person’s definition of evil is another person’s different definition.”
- “One day we had a conversation where we figured we could just try and predict the stock market… and then we decided it was illegal. So we stopped doing that.”
- “More and more searches are done on your behalf without you needing to type. I actually think most people don’t want Google to answer their questions…They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.”
(Read the other 7 quotes at: http://read.bi/hlVkCA)
… and the crazy part is that my favorite jawdropper didn’t even make the list:
(This one did in fact catch fire requiring Google to effectively issue a retraction.)
For your reference, apparently, I’m not the only one that thinks so:
- GIZMODO: Google’s Broken Promise: The End of “Don’t Be Evil
- WIRED: Google is Evil
- MAIN STREET: Is Google Evil? 12 Incriminating Facts
- GAWKER: Google Under Investigation for Being Evil
- HUFFINGTON POST: Google Goes “Evil”
- BUSINESS INSIDER: Google Is Now Officially Evil

I have a Kindle 3G. Y’know – the one with the keyboard? Been using it for a few years now & it’s treated me well, despite reading it in the hot blazing sun of Las Vegas… bringing it with me into the pool (in a waterproof Kindle holder, mind you)… and travelling all around the globe with it. But recently, I haven’t had time for it. I’ve spent most of my reading time on my Microsoft Surface or my HTC Windows Phone 8X, both of which have the Kindle app on them so using the Kindle 3G really isn’t necessary for 90% of what I need to do.
So of course I lost track of it. I really didn’t know where it was… it’d been THAT long since I used it. Just yesterday, I started looking for it and lo-and-behold, it was behind my nightstand here it’d fallen after having been used for bedtime reading for quite a while. Completely drained of battery, I plugged it into my MicroUSB charging clock radio (it has a slot at the top with cables for charging USB peripherals) and of course it came up. 10 minutes later it’d downloaded all the books that I’d had queued up for delivery and away we go.
Then it suddenly froze. The GREEN/YELLOW charging light wouldn’t turn off. I have a suspicion this had something to do with the pending remote Software Update that Amazon pushed (which after this ordeal occurred without me knowing) but I can’t be certain. The Software Update that I’m referring to provided New Reading Font, Parental Controls, Kindle Format 8, Comic Book/Children’s Picture Book Support, Enhanced Table/Image Viewing, Whispersync for Voice support,
Anyway, to get it out of this frozen state, I had to do the following:
- Hold the power switch to the right for 20 seconds. Release.
- Press the Home button for 60 seconds. A “Reset” screen will appear.
- Hit the DEL key on the keyboard. This brought my unit back to a stable state, as if I’d done a reboot or a soft reset of the device.
- I’m told that if this doesn’t work, you have to do a hard reset of the device, which is the equivalent of wiping & resetting your Kindle. This procedure will wipe out all your books and require you to re-download them to your Kindle which, while not disastrous, will take time. It will also lose your bookmarks & settings.
To do a hard reset, type the word “reset” in the above screen after following step 1. Warning: There’s no turning back from this once you type the entire word in and there’s no “Are you sure?”
I’d point to the place where I found this information but I can’t for the life of me find it again. Kudos to whomever it was that documented this originally & I apologize for not cross-posting to you. Your article was indeed helpful.

Mongolia possesses a liberalised and competitive telecoms market served by multiple competing players, reports Research & Markets.
South Korea's KT Corp completed the sale of its 40% stake in Telecom Mongolia back to the Mongolian government, although the incumbent operator no longer holds a dominant share of the country’s market. Meanwhile, the Mongol Sat-1 platform was launched in partnership with Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS).
The growing popularity of mobile broadband has underpinned overall broadband and telecoms growth. This trend is consolidating Mongolia's position as a mobile first telecoms market and shaping the future direction of Mongolia's developing digital economy.
The penetration of fixed lines in Mongolia has increased strongly over the past five years as a higher proportion of residences decide to take a fixed line access option. Penetration is however predicted to only increase slightly over the next five years to 2023.
Fixed broadband penetration in Mongolia remains low mainly due to a limited number of fixed lines and the dominance of the mobile platform. Fixed broadband remains an attractive proposition where it is available due to the inherent bandwidth advantages of fixed platforms compared with wireless.
Mongolia's mobile market has experienced fairly slow growth over the past five years in a relatively mature market. Slow to moderate growth is predicted over the next five years to 2023, with the market constrained from higher growth due to strong local competition and a further maturing market.
Mobile broadband penetration has grown very strongly over the past five years. With the launch of 4G LTE services by all the major operators, mobile broadband customers will continue to grow strongly over the next five years to 2023.

Stephen Tayo's year in photos
Street style in Accra, twins in Lagos and the women sapeurs of Congo. This is Stephen Tayo's 2019 in photos.
We asked a handful of our favourite photographers to look back at 2019 and remember it through the photographs they took. From i-D contributions to personal pictures of friends, family and strangers on the street, this is Stephen Tayo: My Year in Photos.
Nigerian photographer Stephen Tayo studied philosophy at university. “I loved telling my classmates what to do during group photos,” he told us earlier this year. “I loved the idea of bringing people together in composition for photos since then.” Now one of the most recognisable visual artists of the moment, he’s captured street style in Lagos, Accra and beyond with remarkable style. His series Ibeji, which was displayed at Palais de Tokyo in Paris earlier this year, examined twins in Nigeria, and how their style reflects their identity. Catch him shooting for Vogue, The New York Times and i-D too.
I started the year with an incredible experience, showing as part of a group show here in Lagos at the Rele Gallery’s 2019 young contemporaries. It focused on spotlighting the talents within Nigeria. The Ibeji Series examines the psychological perspectives of identical twins.
Gothic scene in Nigeria show in the Netherlands
I went to Amsterdam for the first time for a solo exhibition of images I photographed for The New York Times about the Gothic scene in Nigeria in collaboration with Jan Hoek. The exhibition took place at Corosia Theatre and Expo, in Almere Netherlands.
I also took some time to photograph the SS19 collection of my favourite streetwear brand, Patta. It felt great to be able to photograph for them in the city of Amsterdam!
i-D Arise Fashion Week
I also love and cherish all the photos I took on my first ever i-D commission during the Arise Fashion Week in Lagos, Nigeria.
Farfetch Lagos Campaign with Trippin
I was commissioned to direct and photograph Lagos Farfetch edits, featuring an all talented cast from Lagos -- Adebayo Oke-Lawal, Alani, Ashley, Solis and Jess Finesse. In collaboration with Trippin. With love to the co-founders Sam and Kessang in London.
N'GOLÁ Biennial in São Tomé
I was commissioned to shoot the campaign Image for the N'GOLÁ Biennial that took place in São Tomé, the most beautiful island I have ever seen. The biennial featured work from legendary Samuel Fosso.
The new guard of Nigerian music
Music is key to the Nigerian creative scene and it has won the country a lot of recognition. I was glad to be commissioned by The New York Times to tell a story through my lens about music and I’m happy all the artists are doing so well, and spotlighting the country in a good light. Artists include Fireboy DML, Wavythecreator, Odunsitheengine, Tenitheentertainer, and Blaqbonez.
Chale Wote festival, Accra
Chale Wote Festival is one of the most talked about festivals in Accra, that celebrates traditional fashion, street art, fused with so many traditional celebrations in Jamestown.
Oasis Festival in Marrakech
It was my first time in Marrakech. I loved every moment listening and partying to all kinds of music and so happy to connect with Dave of Chromeo and the legendary Mos Def. Looking forward to next year.
Lagos Fashion Week by Native Magazine
Creative Director Morinsola Hassan-Odukale championed the debut of this Fashion Week exclusive zine that celebrates designers from the shows. I was happy to shoot the cover of it.
The Sapeurs in Brazzaville
This is the highlight of my year actually: to be able to meet the most fabulous women sapeurs in Congo. It has always been a dream and I’m happy it came to be this year. Grateful and thankful to Airbnb for the opportunity.

Recovering the active file is unfortunately hard. I'm not sure of a good
way to do that. You can recover the other databases with makehistory, and
then use ctlinnd renumber to fix the *numbers* in the active file, but the
list of groups that you carry may need to be reconstructed first by hand.

A gluten-free, vegetarian, and healthy pizza crust alternative using spaghetti squash! A creative and unique way to cook with spaghetti squash!
“Another spaghetti squash recipe?!”
Yea, yea, I know. Some of you might be sick of the whole spaghetti squash marathon that’s been going on lately. Someone in the photography group I co-lead at church told me that she was indeed ready for us to move on past the whole spaghetti squash canon of recipes.
She did, however, also say that making a pizza crust out of spaghetti squash sounded pretty darn intriguing, and that she would entertain the idea of at least seeing this one last spaghetti squash post before I agreed to fast forward to something a bit… less squashy.
And since I’m still going strong on my “operation stop being a fatty” mission, I want to be able to eat pizza and not hate myself after. A healthy vegetarian faux-pizza crust that actually tastes good is a huge win in my book.
Oh, and some good news. I’m back in one-derland. That’s right. I’ve broke back through the 200 pound barrier and have lost 19 pounds so far. And I ate this pizza several times. Boom.
Now listen, I know this isn’t “authentic” and it definitely won’t taste that way. You’d be crazy to think it would. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. But what it accomplishes is providing a sturdy, gluten-free, flavorful, healthy vehicle to top with all sorts of goodness.
The possibilities are quite endless. Sure you could play it safe with some sauce and cheese.
But you are way better than that. I know you are all creative culinary geniuses. Embrace it. Empower it. And get crazy with your toppings.
Don’t worry… if you need some inspiration I’ll give you my go-to option in the next post 🙂
You’ll want to get as much moisture out of the squash as possible. I know it doesn’t look like it, but those little strands are holding a whole lot of water. Watery squash makes for flimsy pizza.
And flimsy pizza is just plain sad.
So tell me, what are you going to top your pizza with?Print
- 1 medium/large spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon shredded parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Carefully cut your spaghetti squash in half with a large, sharp knife. Remove seeds and stringy guts, and brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place spaghetti squash, cut side down, on an aluminum-lined baking sheet and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes.
- To test if your squash is done, scrap the flesh with a fork. If the strands come off easily, it’s done. Let the cooked spaghetti squash cool for about 5 minutes, then scrape all the flesh into a beautiful pile of spaghetti strands. Taste and season with some more Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.
- Measure out approximately 3 and 1/2 cups of spaghetti squash. Reserve rest for another use.
- Wrap measured-out squash in a cheesecloth, clean kitchen towel, or several layers of paper towels. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. The drier the squash, the more crispy the crust can get.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the squash, egg, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Press squash in a thin, even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and form into an approximate 10-inch circle.
- Bake at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully flip, and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Add desired toppings and bake until done.
- Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Think about the last time at work you thought, or, better yet, said the words, “I’m good.”
Maybe you wrote some code that you were proud of, and you thought, “Wow, I’m good at my job.”
Or maybe someone suggested you do a little more work that you wanted to, and you declined by saying, “No thanks, I’m good with what I’m doing right now.”
Or maybe you lent a co-worker some cash and thought, “I’m a good person.”
Sadly, we probably don’t acknowledge our good as often as we should. According to a Gallup's World Poll, only 15% of the world’s 1 billion full-time workers are engaged at work. In fact, Gallup even goes so far to say we’re in an “employee engagement crisis.” I bet that statistic likely applies to the readers of this piece too: 85% of you are likely unengaged at your jobs, and you may not even know why.
Project Aristotle #
In 2013, a team in Google’s People Operations—that’s what they call their “human resources department”—set out to determine what makes for effective teams at Google. Lead researcher Julia Rozovsky reports her findings, dubbed “Project Aristotle.” She says, “We were pretty confident that we'd find the perfect mix of individual traits and skills necessary for a stellar team.”
Instead, they found that “who is on a team matters less than how the team members interact, structure their work, and view their contributions.” And of all the factors involved, what was the one that emerged as the most important?
They found that individuals on teams with higher psychological safety are less likely to leave Google, they’re more likely to harness the power of diverse ideas from their teammates, they bring in more revenue, and they’re rated as effective twice as often by executives.
So, what can you do right away to start creating more safety within your teams? Perhaps you could encourage your team to kick off meetings by sharing a risk taken in the previous week. Make that part of the culture of how you get work done. If you’re not a manager, talk to your manager about implementing something like this, and be willing to lead by example by being the first to share.
Some of you might be thinking, “Yeah, that could work pretty well at my job.” But I bet others of you are thinking, “There’s no way that would work for my teams. It’s just so opposite of how we work right now.” And that’s totally fair. For some, taking risks just isn’t part of the culture of work; it’s not part of your team’s norms. Your boss tells you what to do you, and you do it, because there’s likely some consequence waiting for you if you don’t do it.
How do you turn that kind of situation around into a healthy one? You can start by establishing good boundaries.
If you own a house, everything inside the walls counts as part of your property. Your property also likely extends outside your house to your front yard and back yard. The boundary is clear. You get to decide who enters your property—your boundaries—and who doesn’t. Your friends and family can likely come in, at your invitation. Strangers that threaten you cannot come in, and you may even call help like the police or a really strong friend to get them outside of your boundaries completely.
The same is true physically, mentally, and emotionally. You have boundaries that no one should cross unless you allow them to. Sometimes it’s easy to identify when someone crosses a boundary. If someone touches you without your permission, they’re crossing your physical boundaries.
Others are more difficult to identify. When your parent guilt trips you into visiting to be a good son or daughter, they’re crossing your emotional boundaries. Luckily, like building stronger or taller fences, we can practice strengthening our boundaries and there are great resources to help us do this.
One of the my favorites is the aptly-titled Boundaries by psychologists Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. In it are great nuggets like, “Boundaries let the good in and keep the bad out.” This book defines boundaries and gives examples—allegory-style—of how to put them into practice 1 .
Another great resource is counselor Nina Brown’s Coping with Infuriating, Mean, Critical People. She describes four types of boundaries:
- Soft boundaries: when your boundaries merge with other people's. People with soft boundaries are easily victims of psychological manipulation.
- Spongy boundaries: when you’re unsure of what to let in and what to keep out.
- Rigid boundaries: when you’re closed or walled off so nobody can get close either physically or emotionally. Rigid boundaries are often the result of physical or emotional trauma.
- Flexible boundaries: when you decide what to let in and what to keep out. People with flexible boundaries are often resistant to emotional contagion and psychological manipulation and are difficult to exploit.
Having flexible boundaries are what all of us can likely do better. Let’s have a look at flexible boundaries in action.
Quinta has excellent flexible boundaries. She decides what to let in and what to keep out. She was resistant to psychological manipulation. She was difficult to exploit.
For those that learn and practice boundaries for the first time, there’s often a big initial reaction: but isn’t that rude? Let’s be clear: it’s not rude. It’s not rude to say no to someone. It’s not rude to want something different than everyone else and stand up for it. Quinta wasn’t obnoxious or off-putting; she was pleasant and accommodating, but she still made she sure that she was in control of what she wanted.
There’s a complex concept in the Boundaries book: “We are responsible to others and for ourselves.” The corollary is that we are not responsible for others. The other two guys in this video were probably worried about hurting Justin’s feelings. And that’s where the complexity sneaks in: by making themselves responsible for Justin’s feelings, by taking that on themselves, they’re actually encroaching on Justin’s boundaries in making assumptions on behalf of his emotions. They’re probably well-intentioned, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a boundary violation.
One of the most common scenarios of unintentional boundary violations is in taking care of someone, for example, an aging parent or perhaps a relative or friend with a mental illness. The National Alliance on Mental Illness has some great tips on maintaining a relationship with someone with a mental illness that, not surprisingly, include setting clear boundaries.
Tell your relative the standards you need him to meet so you can live well together. Make sure your loved one knows that you see him as a whole person, and that you expect him to follow those standards.
We often think that mental illness means mental disorders, like schizophrenia or depression or dementia. And while these disorders are forms of mental illness, they’re not always as evident. NAMI defines mental illness as “a condition that affects a person's thinking, feeling, or mood.” That condition could be stress. Or anger. Really, any one of us can experience conditions that affect our thinking and feelings at any time.
Essentially, setting clear boundaries is excellent way to maintain a healthy relationship with anyone. Strong boundaries are a prerequisite to creating accountability.
When now-Senator Corey Booker was mayor of Newark, NJ, he helped realize unprecedented violent crime reduction and increased affordable housing in the city all while reducing the city budget deficit.
I was fortunate to hear him speak at Brooklyn Beta in 2012. During the Q&A session, someone asked how he and his team are able to achieve such incredible results. He responded by saying that they all hold each other accountable and proceeded to share his formula for accountability. There are 3 parts:
- Stated standards. Having stated standards is the foundation of accountability. One can only be held accountable if both parties agree to the same standard.
- A system of measurements. Both parties need to agree on a way to measure if they’ve met said standards.
- Effects: either positive, negative, or both. Both parties need to agree on what will happen after those standards are met and/or those standards are not met.
Imagine you’re talking to your manager. You might say something like:
This functionality will be done by end of day today.
Your manager may try to be more specific in order to make sure you have a defined standard. Maybe you could be more specific about what functionality. And what time is the end of the day? Midnight? Close of business?
This functionalitywill be done by end of daytoday.
This can easily be measured. Your manager may check the staging server at 5:01pm to test this functionality to see if it’s working.
The last piece of creating accountability is that there must be effects, either positive or negative once those standards are measured. If that upload functionality works by 5:01pm, you get a promotion! But if it doesn’t work—or worse: isn’t there—by 5:01pm you get fired.
Ok, so that’s a pretty extreme and unlikely example. Maybe this is more realistic. If that upload functionality works by 5:01pm, our client will probably sign more work with us. But if it doesn’t work—or worse: isn’t there—by 5:01pm, they probably won't renew the account.
If your teams aren’t being productive, there’s a chance it’s because people aren’t being held accountable. You can use this framework to help correct that; it’s at least worth a shot.
Where I’ve seen a lot of teams fall down is in the first piece: teams struggle to define standards well. Next time you’re in a meeting and you hear someone punt on defining standards by trying to finish the conversation with something like, “Well, let’s see how it turns out,” speak up. You can say something like, “Wait, can we try to define that a little more specifically so we know what we’re accountable for?” Little conversational cues like that can go a long way.
Commit to commit #
Once everyone’s on board with that idea, the next step is to create some commitments. Here’s where boundaries come back into play. You want to create accountability without violating anyone’s boundaries. A great way to d o that is to ask a closed-ended question, a question that you can only answer with “yes” or “no” 2 .
Can you finish the document upload functionality by 5pm today?”
The phrase “can you” allows the other person to make their own decisions. It respects their boundaries.
What if you’re on the other end of this? What if your boss comes up to you and asks you this? That’s not always a comfortable spot to be in.
There are two obvious ways to answer this: yes or no. But most people forget about a third and very powerful answer to this question.
It’s not maybe. It’s not I don’t know.
It’s to commit to commit 3.
I can tell you by 3pm today.
This is really powerful. What’s your boss looking for? They just want to know what to expect. And you’re letting them know that, very soon, they’ll know what to expect.
Once you get good at each of these three types of answers, you can start mixing and matching.
No, but I can get to it by 6pm. Will that work for you?
This is no longer just an interrogation about accountability; it’s a conversation about it.
Let’s take what we’ve learned so far and see if we can debunk one of the most used but most toxic strategies.
Underpromise, overdeliver #
Do you use this technique? If you do, please stop. Please. It’s awful and manipulative.
Why do I hate it so much? Well, it has another name that you might be familiar with.
Let’s take a look at how this works.
Me, at 3pm: Sorry, I won’t have that upload functionality done by 5pm today.
Client: Ok, thanks for letting me know.
Me, at 5pm: Here’s that upload functionality!
Client: Um ok. I thought we weren’t gonna get this today. Cool… I guess?
What happened here? Above all, I think people just want to know what to expect. They want to know that your word means something, that when you say you’ll do it, you’ll do it.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with being wrong. If at 3pm, you don’t think you can get something done but at 5pm you realize it was easier than you initially thought, that’s great! But own it. Don’t celebrate finishing early before you apologize for setting the wrong expectations. That way, your client will know that you value your word as much as they want to 4.
One of my philosophies about doing client work—and this applies equally if your client is instead a manager or another internal stakeholder—is to show clients the future. Let them know what’s coming up.
For every client, I set up a Project Hub on a new subdomain. It’s a simple list of all of the upcoming milestones. As we go, it’s ok if things shift, but we’re always trying to reset expectations so the client always has an accurate view that’s far out as we can confidently say.
One of the tough things about accountability is that you may run into someone that’s honestly difficult to make accountable. Despite trying to establish standards, conceiving a great way to measure those, and having appropriate effects, nothing seems to be working. In that scenario, chances are pretty high that you’re dealing with an unmotivated colleague or direct report.
Maybe that person is you, despite trying your best to drum up the interest to no avail.
I recently worked with a startup that asked me to coach their teams to level up their collaborative processes. In particular, they thought the designers’ work wasn’t exactly up to snuff with what they could be producing, so they asked me to see what I could unearth. They don’t have a head of design, so the head of engineering has been standing in as head of design to get the designers moving.
When I asked the head of engineering what the root of the problem might be, he said, “Listen, we have to ship this product so we don’t have a lot of time to explore. We have to execute.”
When I asked the designers what the root of the problem might be, they said, “We’re just taking orders designing what everyone tells us to do.”
How do you fix this scenario?
In Daniel Pink’s Drive, he describes a framework for what drives people, what motivates them:
- Autonomy: the desire to direct our own lives.
- Mastery: the urge to make progress and get better and something that matters to us.
- Purpose: the yearning to do what we do in service of something larger than ourselves.
The designers had none of these three, so it wasn’t surprising that they didn’t feel driven or motivated. People were telling them what to design, so they had no autonomy; they couldn’t direct their own lives. They were being managed by someone who didn’t know their skills, so they had little idea for how to make progress. The startup is in financial services, a category the designers didn’t have too much interest in, so there wasn’t a lot of purpose in it for them either.
So, we tried to carve out some space for each designer to practice at least one of these. We did about 2 weeks worth of design work, so the engineers had their hands full for a while. Now that the designers had some free time, we looked for autonomous spaces for them to practice some mastery.
One of the designers wanted to explore how illustration could make the app warmer, so he spent the next 2 weeks compiling reference material, sketching, and having a ton of fun. The other designer wanted to tighten up their not-so-used component library with updated code samples and guidelines, so she went to town on that. Seeing how well it was going, the head of engineering committed to letting them keep some space where they got to rule their own domains. A few weeks later, the team is a well-oiled machine that’s seeing much more involvement and fire from everyone.
From selfish to selfless #
The things discussed above are techniques to cover your own butt. Creating accountability, making commitments, and finding motivation are all foundational to creating a culture of work where everyone’s boundaries are respected. But that stuff just makes teams functional; it’s not what makes things great. I’ve heard VP of Design Education for InVision Aarron Walter likes to say, “No one settles for a meal that’s edible. They want it to be delicious!”
Teams where everyone is selfish are the making for dysfunction. That’s probably not news to you. Most teams, though, end up with self-centered team members. People aren’t selfish in a malicious way; it’s just that everyone’s looking out for themselves, because who else would?
We have to try to push our teams further. In order to create psychological safety, team members need to be looking out for each other more.
Simon Sinek is probably best known for his TED talks and his book Start with Why, but his book Leaders Eat Last is my favorite. It gives so many great tips and examples for how teams can be better supporting each other.
In the book, Sinek tells the story of an employee at manufacturing company whose diabetic wife needed surgery. The employee couldn’t afford to lose pay, so his fellow employees transferred their own paid vacation days so he could have more paid days off. The company had never done something like this before, and it was actually in clear violation of official company policy. But they made it happen anyway. It’s a touching tale of how people band together to reduce each other’s risk.
Sinek also tells the story of a tech company Next Jump’s Lifetime Employment Policy: once you get hired, you can never be fired (unless you actively worked to undermine your colleagues or do something illegal). If you perform poorly, you don’t get fired; you get coached. CEO Charlie Kim thinks of taking care of his employees like raising kids. He says, “Most people would never get rid of their kids in hard times, so how can we lay off our people under the same conditions?”
Here’s a simple illustration of how are organizations currently work, but how they could be so much more.
What can I do for you today? #
My last tip: go around to each member of your team and ask them what you can do for them today. Don’t take no for an answer (while still respecting their boundaries!). It could be work-related, like converting a database or naming all the layers in a Sketch file. Or it could be as small as making sure everyone has a fresh glass of water once an hour.
This is the kind of stuff that makes not only our workplaces good, but our neighborhoods, and cities, and countries too. This is the stuff you won’t pick up in a coding bootcamp or in a Github repo, but it can make all the difference for how to be good at work.

32 Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me, 33 and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.
1 Samuel 25:32-33 NASB
It’s a true blessing when we receive discernment in certain situations. It is just as special when God uses others to help us understand situations and get discernment through their counsel.
When it comes, are you open and able to hear what is said? If David wouldn’t have been able to receive and listen to Abigail, he would have made a decision that bothered him the rest of his life or even put him in bad standing in the eyes of all Israel.
You don’t have to trust and obey every word that is given to you. Many times, people say things and they are impulsive and highly emotional when they say those things. But we should always stay open and ask ourselves if what was said, is something that we should pay attention to.
Lord, thank You for times when You speak to us. Help us to discern Your desires when You move directly in our lives and when You speak through the wisdom of others.

We are very sorry to announce that the Snow Patrol Show at our festival will be cancelled due to health reasons of Gary Lightbody. The following is the statement from Gary, “We are so sorry to announce that we have to cancel our shows in Jakarta and Singapore this weekend. I have been told by the doctor that I cannot sing at this time due to a throat and chest infection. We were so excited to play Jakarta for the first time and get back to Singapore. Unfortunately we will have to wait until the next time now. I hate cancelling shows and wouldn’t do it unless there was no other option. I need to rest for a few weeks. We will come back to both places when we have a new album I promise. Love to you all. So sorry for not being able to play.
We wish Gary Lightbody a speedy recovery and hope to see Snow Patrol perform in Jakarta soon.
Hodgepodge Superfest will still continue with its strong line up on the 31st Aug – 1 Sept 2019.
Hope to see you at the festival.

Watch A Professional Puppet-Maker In Action
Professional milliner and puppeteer Lillie Solomon has been building her own puppets from everyday objects for the last four decades. Using sawdust, clay, glue, and even Slinkies and roll-on deodorant, she designs fantastical puppet characters that come to life in her performances.
Though Solomon has been commissioned to build and restore puppets, she sees puppetry most of all as a creative outlet—her own personal mode of self-expression. In the short documentary “The Puppet Lady,” filmmaker Kate Gondwe goes behind the scenes with Solomon as she discusses the art of puppetry and shows off some of her most marvelous creations. Check it out above.

John 11:25-27 (CSB) 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she told him, “I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”
John 11:45-48 (CSB) Therefore, many of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he did believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and were saying, “What are we going to do since this man is doing many signs? 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
From the very beginning, it became clear that if mankind would recover from the curse of sin it was going to require death in some way. We see this because God graciously kills some innocent creatures and clothes Adam and Eve with the skins of the animals to make up for the shame, condemnation, and guilt they now experience because of sin. But those animal’s deaths only cover up the problem. They don’t solve the problem.
God promised Adam and Eve in the first gospel, preached by God in Genesis 3:15, that one who is a descendant of the woman would crush the head of the serpent even though it would wound him, and he would win back what has been lost.
That Serpent Crusher is none other than Jesus. He gives a glorious glimpse of his being on mission, intent, and power to save as the Serpent Crusher in John 11 and his raising of Lazarus.
When Jesus learns of Lazarus’ sickness he flat out says that this sickness is for God’s glory, so he delays going to Lazarus, Mary, and Martha for two whole days. Now that’s not what we would do. When our best friends are sick, we go and care for their needs. Jesus delays for two days.
Is that because he doesn’t love Lazarus? No!
Jesus’ purpose for Lazarus is that he would let him die and raise him back to life so others could see, believe, and be saved. Jesus loves Lazarus, and that love does not translate into keeping him from death but redeeming that death for his good, God’s glory, and the faith of those who see. Chew on that truth applied to each one of us. Maybe God has good for me that is costly at the moment but will produce eternal good for me and others. Just something to chew on.
He also works this miracle to show the sin of those who refuse to believe when they are fearful too many would trust Jesus and jeopardize their status with Rome. Temporal political stability over eternal life. That’s what Adam and Eve chose in the garden, and that curse of sin has effectively and naturally been passed on to each of their descendants since that moment. Trade the moment for eternity.
I love Martha’s response to Jesus. Martha affirms that if Jesus had been there Lazarus would not have died, and she is right. But part of Jesus’ intent is to call forth Martha’s faith for her good and our good. “Do you believe this?”, he asked. “Yes Lord, I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world. “
Glory to God in the highest! Jesus has not even accomplished the big hairy audacious mission of dying in the place of sinners and rising from the grave, and he’s out there letting his friends die in order to raise them up and save people who will believe in him. That’s awesome. But how will Jesus secure this momentary victory?
I don’t know if you have thought of this before, but Lazarus was going to have to die again, and Jesus is not going to be physically present to raise him up.
How will Jesus secure Martha’s faith that she, Mary, Lazarus, and all those the Father has given the Son will live in spite of death?
He was going to have to die, be buried, rise and ascend to the Father, and send the Holy Spirit to accomplish more than some temporary skins to cover some shame and guilt.
When Jesus goes to the cross, he will secure for Lazarus the security that the next time he rises, it will be forever. But Jesus still has to pay that price for him, and there is still some stiff resistance to the mission in front of him. So, Jesus has to walk that walk and prepare his disciples for that moment so their faith won’t fail.
Hang on, the ride is about to get real bumpy, but Jesus will prepare us for the bumps ahead of time.

Spilled your drink on your laptop? Follow our steps to minimise the damage
Whether it's a cup of tea, a bottle of water or a glass of wine, if you've got a drink next to your laptop, you run the risk of possible liquid damage. It's easy to panic if the worst happens, but act quickly and you can save your laptop from the worst of a spill.
This guide is here to help, so read through these tips and if you are unlucky enough to spill something put down the straw and follow these tips.
What to do if you spill liquid on a laptop
Remember, speed is of the essence. The quicker you follow this guide the more likely you are able to save your drowning laptop.
Step 1 – Turn it off
Power down the laptop as soon as possible. If you’re working on a crucial document, save it immediately, then hold down the power key for around five seconds and the computer will shut all power off.
If the laptop is running off a cable from the power outlet make sure you turn it off at the wall before you remove the power lead.
Step 2 – Turn it upside down
As quickly as possible turn the laptop upside down to stop the water going further into the machine.
By opening the laptop out and sitting it on a flat surface as an upside-down V, you can prevent the computer or the screen from further water damage
Step 3 – Remove the battery
Take the battery out of the laptop. This will prevent liquid from reaching the battery unit and potentially causing an electrical hazard.
Remember, don’t attempt to do this until after you have unplugged the laptop from a power outlet.
Want some more help with rescuing your laptop? Our friendly tech team can help you with one-to-one support on a range of tech issues. Find out more here.
Step 4 – Remove any peripheral devices
Take out any devices that may be attached to the laptop such as USB dongles and SD cards. Also if you are able to remove the keyboard from the laptop, remove this and clean off any water.
Advanced steps for saving your laptop from water damage
If you’re dealing with a serious spillage rather than an unfortunate splash, you may need to go to extra lengths to protect the internal components of your laptop.
Step 5 – Soak up moisture
Open up your laptop and using a lint-free towel start to mop up as much of the liquid as you can.
Step 6 – Remove components
If you're confident in what you're doing, take out your hard drive and RAM before water damage can cause permanent harm to these component.
Step 7 – Dry your laptop
Leave the laptop for 48 hours in a cool, dry place allowing air to get to as much of the laptop as possible.
When two days have passed, return the components to the laptop and test it out. Hopefully these steps have been enough to save your equipment, but if your laptop is non-responsive, all hope isn’t lost – a reputable PC technician may still be able to save your computer.

Joni Pajarinen, Jaakko Peltonen
Applications such as robot control and wireless communication require planning under uncertainty. Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) plan policies for single agents under uncertainty and their decentralized versions (DEC-POMDPs) find a policy for multiple agents. The policy in infinite-horizon POMDP and DEC-POMDP problems has been represented as finite state controllers (FSCs). We introduce a novel class of periodic FSCs, composed of layers connected only to the previous and next layer. Our periodic FSC method finds a deterministic finite-horizon policy and converts it to an initial periodic infinite-horizon policy. This policy is optimized by a new infinite-horizon algorithm to yield deterministic periodic policies, and by a new expectation maximization algorithm to yield stochastic periodic policies. Our method yields better results than earlier planning methods and can compute larger solutions than with regular FSCs.

Essien appeared to have been tasked with the job of being Ghana’s main playmaker. He completed some decent passes and even managed to get a good shot on goal but with Montenegro’s strategy being to sit very deep and break on the counter, he spent too long on the ball trying to find ambitious passes or carry the ball, which really slowed down the Black Stars tempo and made it easy for Montenegro to stay in shape, since the ball wasn’t being moved quickly.
To be fair, the same could be said for his midfield partner Agyemang-Badu, whose use of the ball wasn’t good enough. Badu’s passing has never been one of his strengths so it’s surprising he’s never been asked to just keep it simple. Essien, on the other hand, seems to have the pressure of being asked to do too much when he’s never really played this role in his career.
Ghana’s midfield pair were also poor defensively. When Montenegro had the occasional counter-attack, Badu would be a long way ahead of the ball and easily dragged to the flank and Essien having lost his mobility after being ravaged with injuries would frequently overcommit and then after being dribbled past concede fouls. Ghana’s team shape on the whole wasn’t compact enough and it’s hard to pinpoint what their approach off the ball was supposed to be. They weren’t closing down from the pitch or even the halfway line but they weren’t dropping into compact banks of four either. Some players would go chasing the ball e.g. Agyemang Badu, while others were sitting off, making it easy to find gaps to play through. Although there are a lot of issues with the Black Stars at the moment this is one of the more pressing ones.
In terms of the attack, it wasn’t all negative. Daniel Opare and Christian Atsu formed a nice partnership at right back and right wing, respectively. Opare got forward consistently and, although he wasn’t particularly productive on the ball himself, he made space for Atsu by overlapping and underlapping and Atsu probably should have had more of an end product when getting into the box where he notably shanked a shot wide. On the other flank, Wakaso seemed to come inside more looking for the ball, not in between the lines but in deeper positions on the flank. This is another reason why Montenegro were able to stay so compact, since Addy was rarely on the overlap and Wakaso was very central nobody stretched play on that side.
Jordan Ayew and Majeed Waris weren’t particularly effective together but it helps if we put this into a wider context. Jordan Ayew of late has been playing in the front two for Sochaux, as a second striker just off the front of the main one or on the flank where he cut inside and has a view of the majority of the pitch. On Wednesday, he dropped into very deep areas and although his link up play was actually pretty decent considering he was in areas he never usually operates in, he didn’t create much at all. Majeed Waris performed to a good standard considering the team’s dysfunctionality and made some good runs in behind Montenegrin defence, though they weren’t found with the through balls they deserved.
Overall, Ghana were poor all over the pitch except for the right side, contributing to a poor first half.
In the second half, Albert Adomah and Samuel Inkoom came on for Mubarak Wakaso and David Addy. Opare and Atsu both switched over to the left flank while Adomah and Inkoom took their positions on the opposite side. Muntari also came on for Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu.
Muntari’s use of the ball was good – he misplaced some passes he played some clever balls but the sides problems still persisted, especially the speed of play that was still slowed down by both central midfielders. Atsu and Opare’s work down the right was still looking threatening. Kevin-Prince Boateng came on for Jordan Ayew about ten minutes after half time and improved Ghana’s play in between the lines with some good movement away from the Montenegrin holding midfielders, and he managed to get a few shots on goal. Kwadwo Asamoah replaced Essien in the 66th minute, he moved the ball at a faster tempo than his fellow midfielders and looked to join the attack sporadically.
The team were still not creating any clear cut chances, though Boateng was still getting closer with some ambitious shots and after the final change, Asamoah Gyan coming on for Atsu with Boateng moving to the left flank Ghana looked dangerous, mostly set pieces. Montenegro countering occasionally and without Kwarasey’s good decision making to sprint out of his box and intercept a through ball Ghana could have been two behind. Gyan and Boateng both had half chances at the end but couldn’t capitalise.
Despite the shock early concession, it was clear from early on that Ghana were the superior technical side, as expected. But they looked poor for the majority of the match, with several structural problems to address. The 6-1 win against Egypt has inflated peoples’ opinions of how good this side really are and was very much an anomaly in the context of the whole qualifying campaign. Ghana, a side used to mostly setting up on the counter in previous World Cups, won’t come up against a side as defensive in the group stage, so may not have as much difficulty finding goals. Fans of the Black Stars will be hoping Ghana don’t go a goal behind early as they’ll struggle to break down deep, compact defences and can be exposed on the counter attack.

We’re off once again for another excellent day at Camp Timberlake! The boys rushed to the Tuck for a hearty breakfast of french toast, bacon, and fresh fruit. Soon after, we headed to chapel, and a whopping three trips went out on adventures! Starting with our second annual Catawba Falls pottery trip, the boys had the chance to hike to the beautiful waterfall and create clay pottery in a peaceful environment. The trip included Aubrey S, Oliver M, Daniel A, Caleb D, Ford B, Eiji T, Evan H, and Andres D. Additionally, we had one of our white water rafting trips go out which included Benjamin A, Hudson S, Peyton S, Grant S, Freddy V, William S, Grady R, Patrick B, and Spencer V. Our last trip was a backpacking trip to Babel Tower, an excellent spot for beautiful views of the Linville River and swimming! The boys on that trip were Charlie W, Rees R, Ryland K, Lance K, Christian S, Lowry S, Jackson G, and Cole S.
While our trips got out, our campers back at Timberlake began their morning activities! In backpacking this morning, the boys learned the fundamentals of craftsmanship in the backwoods. Graham W. learned how to tie a marlinspike to create a rope ladder! Down at the lake, our swimming class excelled in their strokes, and they enjoyed a free swim at the end of class. Richard B. earned his Silver in Swimming this morning! As activities came to a close, we headed to lunch for a yummy dish of pizza casserole. At lunch, Winston H. announced the winner of last night’s evening activity of Pirate Ball. THE BLACK BEARS!
As our afternoon began, Campers enjoyed a relaxing rest time. Then, free time where they had the opportunity to get a snack and a drink at the trading post. Campers got to participate in certain activities to work on bars. Soon after, campers started their second batch of activities where Eiji T. shot standing in riflery en route for his gold bar in the class! Additionally, Henry O, Byers N, and Declan Q earned their Bronze bar in Basketball. On the waterfront, the canoeing class took out the voyager canoe, and they worked on their strokes as well as the art of communication. In Kayaking, Walker C and Spencer V worked hard at achieving their roll in the kayak.
For dinner, we enjoyed barbecue chicken with potatoes, corn, and rolls! Most importantly, for dessert, we had chocolate cake. For evening activities tonight, Junior camp will be playing El Presidente, and Senior Camp will have Cabin Night, a special night for each cabin to spend quality time with each other. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s recap of another amazing day at camp!

Malaysia remains Bosch’s third-largest revenue contributor within Southeast Asia
Connected technologies to increase automotive safety
Bosch expects worldwide sales growth of between 3 to 5 percent in 2014
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, 11 June, 2014 – Malaysia continues to be the third-largest revenue contributor within Southeast Asia for Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services. Total net sales in the country increased by 20 percent to RM 2.9 billion (698 million euros) in 2013. This figure includes sales of non-consolidated companies and internal deliveries to other Bosch companies. Consolidated sales to third parties in the local market registered a slight dip compared to 2012, and came to RM 485 million (116 million euros). This was mainly due to extraordinary effects such as increased austerity that cools spending by consumers and businesses.
Bosch’s manpower in Malaysia increased by around 3 percent to almost 2,100 employees over the course of 2013, constituting the largest associate number in Southeast Asia with over 45 percent.
“Bosch remains on the course of growth in Malaysia. Our business divisions developed positively, we expect demand for our products and services to increase as purchasing power across the Southeast Asia region grows. Our figures for the first quarter of 2014 in Malaysia are very encouraging and our sales in the local market are expected to rise accordingly this year,” said Martin Hayes, president of Bosch Southeast Asia and managing director of Bosch Malaysia.
In 2013, the Thermotechnology division more than doubled its sales in Malaysia due to project developments within the food and beverage, oleochemical, and latex industries. The Power Tools, Automotive Aftermarket, and Drive and Control Technology divisions progressed at a steady pace. The Car Multimedia division saw a year-on-year increase of over 40 percent in sales, largely attributed to increasing global demand for in-car infotainment technologies.
Technologies developed and manufactured in Malaysia for global market
“Our business divisions are delivering a wide portfolio of innovative products and solutions invented for life for the Malaysian market. Additionally, Malaysia is one of our key locations in Asia to develop world-class technologies for both the local and global markets,” said Martin Hayes.
The Connectivity Control Unit (CCU), for example, is an integral module for the eCall system developed by the Car Multimedia manufacturing plant in Penang which is already available on the European market. Based on pan-European standards, eCall is an innovative emergency system that transmits data such as location and time to centralised monitoring centres when an accident occurs. These centres then relay critical information that are triggered by sensors within the vehicle to emergency rescue services, thus reducing their response times to the scene of accident, especially in rural areas.
“Bosch is at the forefront of automotive safety with the Internet of Things (IoT), such as connecting vehicles onto the internet, which eCall is an example for,” said Hayes. “Malaysia’s landscape is well-suited to deploy these connected technologies. Coupled with accident preventive equipment in the vehicle such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Program® (ESP), the technologies will save lives by increasing driving safety and reducing the number of accident fatalities.”
In its Power Tools manufacturing plant in Penang, Bosch develops and produces its Rangefinder series for the global market which consists of precision measurement tools equipped with laser technology. Production reached close to one million units in 2013 and is expected to double in 2014.
Asia remains important growth market for Bosch
In Asia Pacific, Bosch achieved sales growth of 5.8 percent (13.8 percent after adjusting for exchange-rate effects) to roughly RM 46.4 billion (11.1 billion euros). Especially in the Chinese growth market, demand for automotive and industrial technologies picked up significantly over the course of the year.
In Southeast Asia, Bosch closed its 2013 fiscal year at RM 2.6 billion (629 million euros) in consolidated sales on the domestic market, remaining at a similar level from the year before. The total net sales of RM 5.8 billion (1.4 billion euros), which includes deliveries to other Bosch companies, amounted to a year-on-year increase of almost 10 percent. Southeast Asia is currently one of the most important growth regions for Bosch. Over the past several years, the company entered the emerging countries of Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, and expanded its presence in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.
Bosch Group business outlook for 2014
Bosch expects sales to grow by between 3 and 5 percent in 2014 worldwide. Internet-enabled products and internet-based services are one of the focal points of the company's future business. With its hardware know-how and broad technological expertise, the supplier of technology and services is well prepared to move into this direction. “Bosch’s traditional strengths – our innovative strength, high standard of quality, global presence, and the integrative force of our corporate culture – are also valuable in the connected world,” said Dr. Volkmar Denner, the Bosch CEO. Moreover, Bosch is global market leader in the area of micromechanical sensors (MEMS), a key technology when it comes to networking things on the internet. Sensors enable a new form of technical assistance in day-to-day life – in automated driving, for example, or the smart home. Bosch’s strategic objective is to create solutions for connected mobility, connected manufacturing, connected energy systems, and connected buildings.

ADDRESS OF JOHN PAUL II
TO THE DELEGATES OF THE NATIONAL
Friday, 23 November 1979
IT IS A PARTICULAR joy for me to welcome so many bishops and priests who are directly promoting the great work of Christian unity in many different parts of the world. You have come to Rome at the invitation of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, and your coming gives vivid expression to the close collaboration that must exist between the local Churches and the Holy See in this, as in so many other matters.
Some years ago the Secretariat, in its document on ecumenical collaboration emphasized, on the one hand, the proper initiative of the local Church in ecumenical work at the local level, and, on the other hand, the need to take care that such initiatives are undertaken within the limits of the doctrine and discipline of the whole Catholic Church. These principles are clearly reflected in the character and composition of your present meeting.
You who have come from so many lands, and also the staff of the Secretariat, will, I am sure, have gained immense benefit from the days of discussion and prayer. Yours is a difficult and sometimes a lonely task, and so it is good to be among brethren. I am grateful also for the presence of three guests from the Orthodox Church, the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran World Federation. I gladly welcome them as brothers in Christ.
As you know, in a few days time I shall be paying a visit to His Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I. "The restoration of unity among all Christians was indeed one of the principal aims of the Second Vatican Council and since the moment of my election I have formally committed myself to promote the carrying out of its norms and guidelines, seeing this as one of my first duties". My first ecumenical journey will give solid expression to this commitment, and it will be paid to the First See of the Orthodox Church. I hope that I shall continue to have opportunities of meeting other pastors and Christian leaders with a view to cooperation with them and to intensifying our common efforts for unity.
The positive and hopeful aspect of ecumenical activity seems implicit in every word of the theme chosen for your meeting, "Ecumenism as a Pastoral Priority in the Church’s Work". For a few minutes I would like to share with you some of the thoughts which this theme suggests to me in this week in which we keep the fifteenth anniversary of three great documents of the Second Vatican Council: Lumen Gentium, Orientalium Ecclesiarum and Unitatis Redintegratio.
You are here to discuss ecumenism. This word should not evoke that false fear of the adjustments necessary to any genuine renewal of the Church. But still less is ecumenism a passport to indifferentism or to neglect of all that is essential to our sacred tradition. Rather it is a challenge, a vocation to work under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the visible and perfect oneness in faith and love, in life and work, of all who profess faith in our one Lord Jesus Christ. Despite the rapid progress of recent years, much remains to be done.
In this regard the task of furthering theological dialogue and cooperation with other Churches and Communities must go on. Moreover, there is hardly a country in which the Catholic Church is not cooperating with other Christians in work for social justice, human rights, development and the relief of need: such work already bears a common witness to Christ, for "cooperation among Christians vividly expresses the bond that already unites them, and it sets in clearer relief the features of Christ the Servant".
Your work has another, and equally vital, aspect. "Concern for restoring unity involves the whole Church, faithful and clergy alike". One of the principal tasks of ecumenical commissions at every level is to promote unity by placing before the Catholic people the aims of ecumenism, aiding them to respond to this urgent vocation which they should see as integral to their baptismal calling. This vocation is a call to renewal, to conversion, to that prayer which can alone bring us nearer to Christ and to each other, which the Council so rightly calls "spiritual ecumenism" and "the soul of the ecumenical movement".
Every Christian is called to serve the unity of the Church. Two tasks are particularly urgent today. One is that of aiding priests and students for the priesthood to appreciate this ecumenical dimension of their mission and to convey it to the people entrusted to their care.
The other, as I said last month in my Exhortation Catechesi Tradendae, concerns the ecumenical dimension of catechesis: "Catechesis will have an ecumenical dimension... if it creates and fosters a true desire for unity. This will be true all the more if it inspires serious efforts – including the effort of self-purification in the humility and the fervour of the Spirit in order to clear the ways – with a view not to facile irenics... but to perfect unity when and by what means the Lord will wish".
For these very reason the task of promoting unity must be seen as an essentially pastoral task. It is pastoral in that the bishops are the principal ministers of unity within the local Churches and therefore "have a special responsibility for promoting the ecumenical movement". It is pastoral also in that all who are entrusted with this work must see it as primarily ordered to the building up of the Body of Christ and the salvation of the world. As long as Christians are divided, so long will the work of preaching the Gospel be hampered: divisions among Christians impair the credibility of the Gospel, the credibility of Christ himself. This service of unity is a service of Christ, of the Gospel, and of all humanity. It is, then, a truly pastoral service.
A high priority attaches to this truly pastoral work. The Vatican Council clearly stated the urgency of the ecumenical task. Disunity is a scandal, a hindrance to the spread of the Gospel; it is our duty to strive by God’ grace to overcome it as soon as we can. The inner renewal of the Catholic Church is an indispensable contribution to the work of Christian unity.
We must therefore present this call to holiness and renewal as central to the Church’s life. Let no one delude himself that work for perfect unity in faith is somehow secondary, optional, peripheral, something that can be indefinitely postponed. Our fidelity to Jesus Christ urges us to do more, to pray more, to love more. The way may be long and demands patience, and we have to pray that this "genuine need for patience to await God’s hour will never occasion complacency in the status quo of division in faith". You, then, who are charged with particular responsibility for the Catholic Church’s ecumenical work in your own lands must always look upon this as one of the main priorities in the Church’s mission today.
For it is the work of the Church. The Vatican Council’s commitment of the Catholic Church to work for ecumenism has been frequently reaffirmed by both Paul VI and myself. To work for unity is not simply to follow one’s own fancy, one’s personal preference; it means being faithful to and truly representative of the position of the Catholic Church. The Council reminded us that "this ecumenical activity cannot be other than truly Catholic, that is, loyal to the truth we have received from the Apostles and the Fathers, and at the same time tending towards that fullness in which our Lord wants his Body to grow in the course of time". This places on you a heavy responsibility: but always remember that it also assures you of a great grace.
You know well that your vocation calls for work, and I hope that during this week you have been encouraged to learn how much work is being done in so many parts to the world, and how much is being done each day by the Secretariat here in Rome. But in the end this work is God’s work. He looks for our cooperation, and we must put our whole trust in him, for he alone can bring us to the unity he wills, a unity that is the created reflection of the oneness between the Divine Persons. For is not the Church of Christ "a people made one with the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit"?
It is in the light of this deep and prayerful confidence in the power of God that I urge you to face with courage, faith and perseverance the difficulties and obstacles inevitable in your work. No difficulty should ever deter us from the work of God. The way of truth and fidelity will always bear the mark of the Cross: as the Apostle said, "Through many tribulations we must enter the Kingdom of God".
Finally, I thank you all again for coming to this meeting at the Secretariat and for having contributed to it. As you return to your different lands to resume your work with renewed vision and zeal, I entrust you all, and all who collaborate with you, to the intercession of Mary Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ and Mother of his Church. I ask her to sustain you in the great cause of Christian unity for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity: the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic’s fortunes keep shining at the 2011 US Open. Not only did the Serb get his match in on a rain-hampered day in Flushing Meadows on Thursday, but he got an early rest when his opponent, countryman Janko Tipsarevic, retired in the fourth set with a hamstring injury.
“I think I sensed early in the third set, when I got a break, he lost a lot of pace on his first serve,” said Djokovic who led 7-6(2), 6-7(3), 6-0, 3-0, and cruised after two sets when Tipsarevic retired. “He wasn’t able to move as well. It’s really unfortunate in a quarterfinal of a Grand Slam.”
Djokovic also needed a visit from the trainer for a toe problem.
The world No. 1 will next in the semifinals meet Roger Federer, who late Thursday night defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.
When Andy Roddick’s match resumed Thursday it was quickly halted due to a wet spot on the court. An hour later the players were brought back out, with the spot still wet, and US Open officials quickly felt Roddick’s wrath.
“Can you tell us why you brought us out here?…How hard is it to not see water?…What are we doing here?” Roddick said. Roddick went on, “I’m baffled right now. Absolutely baffled.”
The match was then moved to Court 13 at Roddick’s request, where the American defeated Spaniard David Ferrer, avenging a recent Davis Cup loss 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, high-fiving spectators afterwards.
“I thought the atmosphere was great. People packed in,” Roddick said of the smaller venue. “I’d rather play a smaller court and have it packed, than playing a bigger court and have it a quarter full.”
Roddick will next in the quarterfinals meet world No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who defeated Gilles Muller of Luxembourg 7-6(1), 6-1, 6-2.
Nadal, already on the ATP Player Council, is frustrated with the playing schedule amidst the rain at the US Open and is looking to make some changes.
“The problem is we don’t have enough power in these kind of tournaments,” Nadal said of the players. “That’s what have to change very soon.”
American Donald Young quickly exited the US Open at the hands of No. 4 seed Andy Murray, losing 6-2, 6-3, 6-3.
Murray will next face big American John Isner, who served his way past Frenchman Gilles Simon 7-6(2), 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(4). It is the first Grand Slam quarterfinal for Isner.
“A lot of times when I’m tired I am able to conserve energy at the right times and expend my energy at the right times,” said Isner on his ability to look tired in every match. “I think today it was huge for me getting that first set because I was down a break twice, and he served for it at 6-5.”
Winners in the women’s quarterfinals were former No. 1 Serena Williams, current No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, Sam Stosur and German surprise Angelique Kerber.
Williams defeated Russian No. 17 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 7-5, 6-1, overcoming serving difficulties in the opening set.
“I just kept losing serve in the beginning. Very weird,” Williams said.
Williams will next meet Wozniacki, who was a 6-1, 7-6(5) winner against No. 10 Andrea Petkovic of Germany.
“I don’t care what people think and say or do,” said Wozniacki, under the microscope as the world No. 1 who hasn’t won a Slam, and will be facing Serena Williams for the first time since becoming No. 1. “I care about what I know best. I go out there, and what I care about is that I give 100 percent every time.”
Stosur will player Kerber after Kerber upset No. 26 Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, and Stosur beat No. 2 Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-3.
TENNIS-X NEWS, NOTES, QUOTES AND BARBS
The USTA had to love watching their US Open broadcast partner and ESPN commentator John McEnroe on Wednesday advocating for the players to protest and refuse to play so many backed-up matches in a row at the US Open…Serena Williams on her buddy, movie director Spike Lee: “I know Spike really, really well. We’re really good friends. We always hang out in Florida. We always try to do lunch or dinner sometimes. His parents actually live in Palm Beach, literally down the street. I’ve been there a few times. He and his wife are great…He’s crazy. He wants to win more than I do. He’s like, ‘Hit to me really hard.’ I’m like, ‘I can’t hit to you really hard. I’m going to break your racquet if I do.’ He’s like, ‘No, go your hardest.’ I’m like, ‘Really?’ He’s actually really good. He’s like really, really intense. I’m a little intimidated…He loves debates. Whenever we’re at dinner, he’s looking for a debate. You have to join in and pick a side. I always try to pick an opposite side so it can just be a debate. It’s fun though. I love it…I’m a Miami Heat fan and Dolphins fan. I support the Heat. He supports the Knicks. We always argue about that one.”…Serena on her new house in LA and storing her trophies: “I created a karaoke room, so I can’t put trophies in there. The other area, the gentleman’s lounge, is kinda packed with vintage things I got at a flea market, which is really cool. In Florida, forget it. Venus and I, there’s just no more space. I would love to keep winning them. But we’re like, ‘Oh, what are we going to do with this one?’”…Bored yet?…Hannah Storm and the women at the ESPN sports desk and Chris Fowler — can you make more of Rafael Nadal coming out of the locker room a little late for his match (which turned out to be not his fault)? Geez, talk about a mountain out of a molehill, you guys bored much with all the rain?…Later turned into a PR nightmare for the USTA when Andy Roddick, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray go straight to the referee’s office after coming off the wet courts to vent at officials…Boy, when Justin Gimelstob doesn’t want to talk about something he can be kind of a dick with the other Tennis Channel announcers…Martina Navratilova says pro tennis should play “lets” rather than replay them — let’s not. Does tennis really need an element of luck introduced into it?…How painful was that Thursday night during the rain delay on ESPN2 putting up with Cliffy and Hannah Storm? Rough…From Tennis.com’s Jonathan Scott on Caroline Wozniacki’s brief light-hearted take on Rafael Nadal’s cramping in a post-match conference: “Reactions around the blogosphere and Twitterverse both largely decried the move, sensing an unforced error from the just-turned-21 Dane. It seems apparent now that her still-faceless new coach doesn’t delve into public relations. She likely meant no offense, but intent is not the same as cause. When snagging one’s first Slam title becomes an odyssey, it’s advisable to lie low. Otherwise she finds herself in this spot: Slammed.” — The blogosphere! The Twitterverse! It’s all over the place! Ooooh, slammed! #1 Jonathan — get over yourself; #2 — get a sense of humor…ESPN’s Darren Cahill: “There’s no strong or visible leadership from the ATP.”…The top players want to form a union after being put out on court at the US Open while it is misting out? Good luck with that, do that. The fact you are ‘pushed around’ to appease the tournament network television partners is the reason you can ask for those paltry $500K-$1 million appearance fees at tournaments like Dubai. We feel for you.”…The last time Andy Roddick and Rafael Nadal played in a Grand Slam, Roddick won 6-0, 6-3, 6-4…How about Pam Shriver interviewing Will Ferrell when Ferrell when into Ron Burgundy mode? Ferrell is the 007 of comedy, licence to kill from anywhere in the stadium…Americans Melanie Oudin and Jack Sock are somehow in the US Open mixed doubles final: “Any Grand Slam final you get to is a great achievement, especially because mixed doubles is probably the last thing I thought I’d get to the final in, personally,” Oudin said. They will meet Gisela Dulko and Eduardo Schwank of Argentina in the final…Unrelated, but if you like Google News, on Thursday you couldn’t get a better headline than “Drunk Moose Gets Stuck in Swedish Apple Tree”…Sania Mirza suffered a knee injury during her US Open doubles match this week and may be out for the remainder of the year…Svetlana Kuznetsova on playing Caroline Wozniacki: “She was a wall. To break a wall, you cannot hit hard. You have to mix it up.”…SI.com on how Donald Young “laughingly told how he’d played a game to 21 with Pete Sampras not even a year ago. ‘He beat me,’ Young said. ‘He let me know that wasn’t good. Called me a little princess …’”…Tennis Channel pulled its signal from both Verizon FIOS and Cablevision services in an ongoing dispute over fees and tiered placement of the channel.” — no more endless reruns of Davis Cup and “Best of 5″ for you!…The New York Times reports that many of the “gold badge” top chair umpires have skipped the US Open since it is not worth their time as the USTA makes it the lowest-paying of the top tournaments, resulting in lower-quality umpires in the chairs for big matches.

What this nation needs the -least.- Guns are a way to keep ourselves protected from assholes who are out to kill us for no damn reason. And then, liberals are trying to apply gun control on this great country. We've got enough weapons being illegal to own, and then they're trying to even make it illegal for a law enforcement official to carry one.
Let's show those liberals some "gun control" by controlling a gun their way.

Mike Denslow (54 years old) (1st Degree Black Belt)
Mike Denslow joined Karate for Christ in 1999. I feel we have the best club anywhere. We have the best instructors, who love karate. But more important, they love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our club is not just about the art of karate, it also teaches us to live our lives for Jesus. I feel that we are a family who love one another. If we learn to put Jesus first in our lives, everything else will fall into place. If you love Jesus, and want to learn karate, there is no better place than Karate for Christ and no better instructor than Sensei Hoxie.

Also known as: "There's One in Every Family . . ."
(Yes, I know Black Rock Shooter is not actually a Miku/Hatsune/related to her in any way, but that is not the point of this picture. And yes, I used the blue-haired model for obvious reasons.)
A simple project I'm working on. Family photos of some of the Vocaloid families.
I saw models of some of some of the Vocaloids' parents, and thought of this.
What's happening here: Yes, Black Rock Shooter has her eyes crossed and is sticking her tongue out at the camera. (She didn't want to take the picture in the first place.) Yes, that younger Miku model and Mr. Hatsune are both staring at her. Miku just sneezed, and the "oldest" of the two Mikuos is patting her head. The younger Mikuo is totally ignoring her, more focused on posing for the camera, while their mother wonders how on earth a sneeze could make someone make that face. The six-year-old Miku is behaving like a good little girl in hopes she'll get ice cream later, the toddler-like Baby Miku is asleep and holding one of her big sister's dolls by the hair (It's a Miku doll.).
Clearly, Family Photo Day is a stressful time for the Hatsune Family.
Just for the record, in my head, these guys and gals all have different names, besides just Miku and Mikuo, but I'll let you guys name them what you want. (I'd love to see what you come up with, by the way!)
Okay, just because I want to put this here:
Hatsune children listed from oldest to youngest (You can decide the ages.):
Mikuo (taller model in back)
Miku and Black Rock Shooter (I imagine them to be twins here.)
Mikuo (younger look model)
Miku (the chibi/younger model staring at BRS)
Miku (six year old or there about model in front)
Miku (Baby Miku model who is asleep)
Miku (Baby Miku in mother's arms)
(And then there is the unborn baby, but let's not go there . . . (The Mrs. Hatsune model is supposed to be pregnant. No, I didn't decide that. The model was actually created to be pregnant . . .))
I think Mr. and Mrs. Hatsune need a hobby . . . Or a nanny.

- This article is about the generic game mechanic. For the combo finisher mechanic, see Projectile Finisher.
Most projectiles can be avoided by dodging, blocking or reflecting. Projectiles can also be obstructed by environment, or by other enemies in their way, though this can be negated by piercing. A few projectiles auto-track the target as it moves. Projectiles will travel further if they are fired from a height.

i am trying to use color gels to use as filters.
it probably doesn't make much sense ..
but i am looking for a 25 red, 58 green and 47 blue but in light gels instead
does anyone know if light gels (rosco ? ) comes the same way as lens filters do
or will i have to experiment a little to see if the filters i am trying to make on the cheep
will be the same ... or will the light shop i go to know exactly what i need ...?
why am i doing this ?
i have some lenses that have a huge front element that i want to make color separation negatives with
but unfortunately it is expensive or nearly impossible for me to get a set of color filters that are 3 or 4 inches across .. so
i am trying a work around.
any other suggestions would be appreciated too ..

Thousands of young ball players and their families will come to Steamboat Springs this summer driven by a love for the game.
The first 140 will arrive at the Howelsen Hill ball fields Tuesday when Triple Crown Sports hosts a three-day girls fastpitch camp. The first tournament, the Mountain Magic, will run June 12-15.
"This is our big kickoff for the summer," said Bill Piltcher, director of girls fastpitch softball for Triple Crown. "We have 75 teams coming for the first tournament and 140 players and 30 coaches coming for the school."
Sean Hardy, the director of team sports for Triple Crown, said the rest of the summer will be filled with plenty of baseball and softball events for adults and youth.
The first weekend of baseball will step to the plate June 19-22 when Division II players come to town.
Hardy said 80 teams would come to compete in the 10-, 13- and 14-year-old division.
"This is the weekend most of the local teams will compete," Hardy said.
From June 26-29, the action will pick up a notch as Division I players arrive in Steamboat. Hardy expects 60 teams to be in town for the event.
Triple Crown's annual Fourth of July tournament will be the first of two slowpitch events this summer and is expected to be full with 140 adult teams.
Youth baseball will take center stage in July. The Triple Crown World Series will open with the first of three weekends of baseball from July 23-27. Ninety teams will play in the 9-, 12-, 15- and 16-year-old divisions. The next weekend, July 30-Aug. 3, 60 teams will play in the 10-, 14- and 18-year-old brackets.
Hardy expects 90 teams for the final weekend of baseball Aug. 6-10. The action will include 11- and 13-year-old baseball teams from across the country.
In the past, Triple Crown held its baseball World Series over two weekends and held a girls fastpitch weekend on the other. This year, however, the girls tournament was moved out of Steamboat.
"The girls softball championships moved to Park City, Utah, which allowed us to expand to three weekends of baseball this year," Hardy said. "There will be fewer teams in Steamboat on some weekends, which will allow us to grow in the future."
Moving girls fastpitch to Park City was something the company needed to do so that both events could expand in the future, he said.
"Before we did it, we were maxed out on baseball," Hardy said. "We couldn't allow for more teams or (make concessions for) weather."
Steamboat is expected to see 45 fewer teams than last year on the first Triple Crown weekend and up to 50 fewer teams the second and third weekends. But Hardy was quick to point out that over the three-week stretch, more baseball teams will come to Steamboat, but there will be fewer girls softball teams.
Triple Crown expects the numbers to increase over the next several years.
This year's Triple Crown run will come to an end Aug 13-17 when the Triple Crown softball championships come to town. That event will include about 100 adult softball teams.

It’s 4:30 am in Kibera, and a train had fallen off the tracks.
While trains have fallen in Kibera many times before, this was strange – like something out of a comic book. Along with 15 downed train carts was neon orange goo dripping out of a cylindrical black tank. As a construction team in yellow vests attempted to clean up the mess, a man, not in uniform or working gear, called out to me and demanded to know what I was doing there. After showing my document declaring that I was an official researcher for the Kenyan government, this man demanded that I delete from my camera all the pictures that I had taken of the wreckage.
Much quarreling ensued before I ultimately said to him, “You don’t own this land – I can take pictures here if I want,” as I pointed to all the onlookers, many of whom had just lost their homes. He replied by informing me that Kenya Railways and the Kenyan government owns this land, and that I and the surrounding crowd were “encroachers,” adding that all were “supposed to be 50 meters back.”
I asked the man who he was, and he claimed he was in charge of this particular section of the railway for Kenyan railways. Figuring that my standing with this man could not get any worse, I asked about the orange goo. Upon hearing this question, the man explained that he could not answer any more questions and instructed me to delete my photos and leave the premises immediately. As I left, I took a different route along the highway. Through a hill was big drain pipe, pouring the same orange muck into Kibera.
The next day, I showed these pictures to a professor at Nairobi University, who wished to remain anonymous. The professor said this orange viscous liquid was definitely a type of toxic waste and added, “This wasn’t on the news at all because the train station knows how dangerous this kind of stuff is. Had the wreck been anywhere in Nairobi except Kibera, Kenyan railway would be under fire for this.”
As an outsider, this seems like a really interesting time in Kenya’s history. In the past years, there was the controversial implementation of a new constitution, a trial at the Hague of well-known politicians for violence after the 2007 election, and the deterioration of the Kenyan shilling along with extreme inflation as a result – to only name a few.
With all of these issues, the government is very swift at keeping everything locked under a lid – whether by dissuading strikers, producing evidence suggesting enough innocence to quell suspicions, or restricting journalists from a train wreck. However, the consequences of that night are far-reaching – not only are many homes and stores destroyed, but there is also a good chance that the leaked chemicals polluted Nairobi’s drains and water supplies. Despite the devastating consequences this train wreck and toxic spill had on people’s lives, it was not even a blip on the Kenyan media radar. In this comic book mischief of vibrant orange toxins in the night, it seems that the bad guys have escaped unscathed.

Billy Graham, the vastly overpraised evangelist and world-class bigot (listen to him call Jews the “synagogue of Satan” during secretly recorded conversations with Richard Nixon), is now old and probably senile. But he thinks the end times, and not just his, are soon upon us:
Just as Noah did in ancient times, world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham is sounding the alarm that the Second Coming is “near” and signs of the end of the age are “converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.”
For the first time? Seriously? Volumes could be written and have been written about the interpretation and reinterpretation of the Bible’s end times prophecies. Virtually every single generation since the death of Jesus, including those alive at the time, have believed that Jesus was coming back any moment. Jesus himself even says that there are people alive then that would not taste death before he returns.
Christians have repeatedly reinterpreted Daniel and the book of Revelation, which is full of figurative language that one can make mean virtually anything they want. The Antichrist has been identified and reidentified over and over again. And this generation is no different. Vague signs like “wars and rumors of wars” and natural disasters are always present in the world, so the entire premise is one that can be applied to all circumstances at all times. But Billy Graham knows it’s coming soon. It isn’t.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been chosen as the Spanish top flight’s ‘Most Valuable Player’ for the 2012-13 season, but Lionel Messi has won the more prestigious awards for La Liga’s best player and best attacker after having guided Barcelona to the title despite recurring injury issues.
Diego Simeone, Sergio Ramos, Andres Iniesta, Iker Casillas, Thibaut Courtois, Asier Illarramendi and Gerard Deulofeu were among those also honoured at a ceremony in Madrid on Monday night, which took place almost six months after the 2012-13 campaign ended.
Messi won the official ‘Player of the Season’ award, and also beat off competition from former Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo and Ronaldo to take the prize for Best Liga BBVA Forward.
The Real Madrid attacker suggested in his speech while accepting the MVP prize that he would have preferred to have taken the overall best player award.
“It is an honour and privilege to receive this great award for the Most Valuable Player -- it motivates me to keep working harder,” Ronaldo said. “I am proud to be in the Liga BBVA. For me, this is the best league in the world and I am at the best club in the world. How could I not be happy? Hopefully next year I can win the award for the best player. I will be working towards it.”
Messi, currently back in Argentina recovering from his troublesome run of muscle injuries, stuck to the script during his speech via video link to the ceremony.
"I would like to thank the LFP and the Liga BBVA for this prize,” Messi said. “It is a recognition of the [Barca players’] work all year and without them I would not have scored these goals.”
Iniesta, who saw off Madrid’s Isco and former Sevilla winger Jesus Navas to take the best attacking midfielder prize, remembered the role played by former coach Tito Vilanova and defender Eric Abidal in Barca’s emotional last campaign.
"I would like to thank all the people who valued my work last season,” he said. “This award is worth more because last season was a difficult one for people like Tito and Abidal.”
Atletico Madrid were also recognised, with Simeone winning the award for La Liga's best coach.
“This is my first prize as a coach in Europe,” Simeone said. “I would like to thank my players for their effort and commitment. They have allowed me to receive this award. I would like to share it with my coaching staff, and to dedicate it to my children.”
Illarramendi, Madrid’s summer signing from Real Sociedad, also won two awards, for best defensive midfielder -- ahead of Benat of Athletic Bilbao and Javi Fuego of Valencia -- and for being the ‘breakthrough’ player of the last campaign, ahead of Sevilla’s Alberto Moreno and Leo Baptistao of Atletico.
Madrid defender Ramos saw off competition from Barca’s Jordi Alba and Inigo Martinez of Real Sociedad to be named the best defender.
The award for best goalkeeper went to Thibaut Courtois, ahead of Barca’s Victor Valdes and Malaga’s Willy Caballero, but it was decided to give the LFP Fair Play trophy to Madrid captain Casillas, who has had limited game time since a clash of personalities with then Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.
Casillas did not attend, with Blancos president Florentino Perez collecting the accolade on his behalf.
“Casillas is deserving of many awards,” said Perez, with whom the goalkeeper has also reportedly had issues. “But this one, which recognises his sportsmanship, is indisputable.”
Everton attacker Gerard Deulofeu, on loan from Barcelona, was named as the Segunda Division’s best player of 2012-13. Elche coach Fran Escriba and defender Edu Albacar, Almeria goalkeeper Esteban and Villarreal midfielder Bruno were also recognised, as were attackers Charles, who is now with Celta Vigo, Vitolo, now of Sevilla, and Chuli, who now plays for Betis.

HEAVY horses, retrievers, sheepdogs and ducks filled a field in Shoreham along with thousands of animal-loving families on Sunday.
The Heavy Horse Show kicked off at 10am, with agility shows, sheep herding, horses ploughing fields and classic vehicles and farm machinery on display.
Organised by the Sevenoaks Lions Club, the event, which ran until 5pm, raised £17,500 for local causes, including Hospice in the Weald, trips for elderly people and holidays for disadvantaged families.
During the day, there were two half-hour shows from shepherd David Seamark and his sheepdogs and also two extreme falconry displays.
Alongside these, in the field close to Shoreham Station, were a retriever obedience show, duck herding, and heavy horses dressed for the parade ground and pulling ploughs and carts.
There were old tractors and other farm machinery, train engines, classic cars and lorries on display.
Visitors could enjoy drinks from the beer tent and sandwiches from a bar run by the Scouts.
John Law of the Sevenoaks Lions, who lives in Parkhill Road, Kemsing, said: "It went brilliantly – the weather was in our favour, though we did have a tiny bit of drizzle it was mainly dry.
"We nearly had a record number of people and made a profit of £17,500 – it was a really good turnout.
"It was a huge amount of work – we started setting up on Thursday – all for one day on Sunday – but it was well worth it.
"I have been a member of the Lions Club for seven years, and helping run the heavy horse show for the last three. It's lovely – the Lions are lovely people and work really hard.
"We were all so proud of how the event went on Sunday – it was fantastic."

[MEXICO] The Mexican federation (FMF) is showing unprecedented patience with a national team coach, having announced on Monday that Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre will continue at the helm despite El Tri's dismal form of 2013, most recently falling twice to Panama at the Gold Cup.
"We don't justify the situation but there is still
support for the present (coaching) administration," said FMF president Justino Compean. "There were voices who didn't agree ... I still believe (De la Torre's staff) is the best we
have to take us to Brazil 2014.
"I asked (the board) for trust in the administration headed by Chepo, who has to recognize his mistakes."
Before before the Gold Cup debacle,
Mexico was eliminated in the first round of the Confederations Cup and started the final round of World Cup qualifying with five ties and just one win. Three of the ties came at Azteca Stadium, where
the Mexicans were once considered invincible. Last year, they lost to the USA for the first time at Azteca, 1-0, in a friendly.
De la Torre’s bosses are apparently hopeful that
he’ll rejuvenate the team to the heights of his first year in charge. In 2011, he led Mexico to a 6-0-0 record in the semifinal round of qualifying and was 6-0-0 in the 2011 Gold Cup, where it
beat the USA, 4-2, in the final.
The reprieve keeps De la Torre’s hopes alive of becoming just the second Mexico coach in the last 30 years to survive the entire qualifying campaign.
Ricardo La Volpe did so in 2004-05, but Mexico then employed four national team coaches in 2008-09.
Mexico is in third-place of the Hexagonal and meets fourth-place
Honduras in Mexico City on Sept. 6. It faces Ivory Coast in a friendly Aug. 14.
The top three Hexagonal finishers qualify for the 2014 World Cup and the fourth-place finisher faces New
Zealand in a playoff.

Our Top Three Fonts Out Of Thirty Eight Great New Typefaces For 2013
Designing a usable, attractive typeface is truly one of the last great art forms. Unless you have tried to design a typeface of your own, it is hard to imagine the effort, creativity, and skill that is required to produce a unique, functional and original new typeface.
Interactive designer and typeface aficionado, Sean Mitchell, selected 38 wonderful new typefaces to highlight the new creations for the winter of 2013. From these, we have picked three of our favorites to share with you. To see all of the 38 amazing new typefaces, go to The Next Web and enjoy a feast for your eyes and senses.
First up is our personal favorite among the great 38. From the Font Bureau, we present Serge, designed by Cyrus Highsmith. Described as a “frisky, acrobatic face that dashes off decorative blurbs, signs, and headlines with a lively, angular zest,” this simple and attractive typeface just adds the right amount of zip to the printed page.
Our second choice is a sassy script from Art. Lebedev Studio: ALS SyysScript designed by Julia Sysm‰l‰inen. This easy to read modern font with a handwritten look is perfect for personalizing your important communications.
Our third favorite is the Borutta: Wood Type Collection from font designer Mateusz Machalski. This set of 7 font families designed to resemble wood block type is just what the doctor ordered when you are looking for something warm and different to spice up your website or brighten up a long email to distant relatives.
While we chose three special typefaces as our personal favorites, every single one of the 35 other typefaces are just as wonderful. Look them all over and pick your own favorites, then try your hand and design a typeface of your own.

Dordt College Men's Basketball vs. Northwestern
December 2, 2009
(Orange City, Iowa) The Dordt College Defender men's basketball team suffered a 97-77 loss at Northwestern in Orange City, Iowa, Wednesday night. The hosts pulled away from a 34-34 halftime tie to score their seventh win in a row while Dordt lost for the first time to an NAIA school in eight starts.
Dordt scored the first three points of the game on three free throws and Northwestern answered back with 13 points in a row with the final three points coming on a three-point shot by Walker Seim. Dordt recovered to cut the lead down and eventually tied it on free throws by Michael Eekhoff at the 8:27 mark for a 20-20 tie. The score was tied at 30, 32 and 34 with Logan Kingma scoring the final points of the half on a shot in the paint.
Dordt was playing from behind much of the second half and led briefly with wen they ran off nine points in a row to go from down 50-45 to up 54-50 with the final two baskets of the run coming on steals and transition baskets. The 54-50 lead came at the 14:48 mark. Northwestern responded with a nine point run of their own and Dordt would get no closer than two the rest of the way, getting to within 61-59 at the 10:59 mark on a Kevin Yoder basket and the Raiders pulled out to a double digit lead and rode that advantage to a 97-77 final.
"That spurt we've had in games wasn't there," said Dordt College coach Ross Douma. "We didn't shoot well and at halftime we felt fortunate to be tied as poorly as we played. We were getting to the free throw line in the first half but we stopped doing the things that got us there in the second half."
Dordt suffered through a 23-61 shooting night and converted just 4-17 three-point shots. Dordt did had an advantage at the free throw line where they were 27-40 but Northwestern offset that with a 49-40 rebounding advantage. Northwestern converted 36-76 shots and made 12-25 three-pointers. Northwestern did make 13-21 free throws.
Michael Eekhoff scored 20 points--half of them at the free throw line where he was 10-11. Trevor Wolterstorff scored 15 and had a team high eight rebounds. Logan Kingma converted 13 points and Brandon Oldenkamp had 10. Dustin Katje scored eight and had six rebounds in a reserve role with Kingma and Oldenkamp both grabbing six rebounds.
Northwestern got 28 points from Walker Seim as he made 5-7 three-point shots and 10-14 field goals. Ben Miller and Ryan Hoogeveen both had 17 with Hoogeveen getting 15 in the second half and had 11 rebounds. Miller had six assists.
Northwestern is now 3-0 in the league and 7-3 overall while Dordt falls to 1-1 and 7-2. Dordt will face Morningside on Saturday afternoon in Sioux Center starting at 4:00.

LACBA.org Highlights: Take a Look at Section Web Sites
Each section’s Web site is unique, presenting content for its specialized practice area. Over the past months, LACBA started refreshing these section Web sites, updating about half thus far. This is an ongoing project, similar to maintaining the Golden Gate Bridge, painting it from one end to the other and then repeating the process from the beginning. Content changes all the time, and new events arise every day.
In the screen shot of the Family Law Section Web site below, the information has been reorganized. As the content volume on the site increases over time, it requires new areas, new jump pages, and new navigational menus. In the case of the Family Law Section’s Web site, the menu in the right-hand column has been updated, making it easier to find and access the information, including areas such as Resources/Publications, which contains the Shucart Library, the Family Law Update newsletter archive, Past Program Materials, Links, and other important items that support specialized practitioners in their daily case work.
While most information is available to all LACBA members, there are exceptions. Some section Web sites allow access to certain valuable documents only to its section members. For example, the Environmental Law Section’s event materials are accessible only to those who have joined the section. The Business and Corporations Law Section provides useful information to its members through a members-only login access.
If you haven’t done so in a while, take another look at the section Web sites here.
What are your thoughts? What would you like to see on LACBA.org? Send feedback to firstname.lastname@example.org or call Mark Biskeborn at 213-896-6401.

This week's retro recipe comes from "7-Up goes to a party!". Apparently, anything can be made using 7-Up. I cannot wait to make this "Frozen Fruit Loaf" for my first warm spring get-together.
This one of a set of two 7-Up cookbooks available here in my Etsy shop for only $4.00 (and yes, these can be shipped internationally for just a few bucks).
Ok, so you were expecting a 7-Up molded gelatin salad, but how about a 7-Up salad dressing or biscuits?
That's the Frozen Fruit Loaf on the little turquoise-y plate towards the top of the pic above. You can see it really well if you click on the pic to enlarge. I make you work for it, don't I?
Now for the recipe:
Frozen Fruit Loaf
1 3-ounce package cream cheese
1 9-ounce can crushed pineapple
1 7-ounce bottle 7-up
2 cups diced fresh peaches
1 cup diced seedless grapes
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 pint whipping cream
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
Soften cream cheese and mix in pineapple. Stir in 7-Up. Sprinkle sugar over peaches and grapes and stir into mixture. Pour into a 2-Quart refrigerator dish and freeze until partially thickened. Whip cream until stiff; fold cream and marshmallows into fruit mixture. Freeze until solid. Makes 8-10 servings.
Sounds delicious, yes? And it's pretty too!

3-4 sprays ( I have reformulated version, if that matters)
At least 2 on the neck and 1 or 2 wrist sprays.
This is pretty much my go-to work scent by the way.
One on the chest and one on the wrist.
I think the only frag I wear more than 2 sprays to work is YSL L'Homme.
4 to 5 sprays ....1 in your chest -1 in the neck(upper part, were neck hits beard hairline, get some on that beard,lower portion) 1- in the back of the neck hair line again ....1- front of the head(were hair is growing..lol) 1- shirt(optional). Making in a total of 4-5 sprays .....enjoy.
Btw, by getting hair in your body , prolongs duration of scent as hair follicles are filled with moisture and life of scent.....Do enjoy this gorgeous juice.......peace and Godbless
ooh yeah, I think wrist are good only, when you're discovering the facets of a new particular scent but after dissecting it and having all to know about it ; IMHO wrist are a waste of juice, reason being is that you are always washing up, your arms are all over the place and and scent has a very short time span to live in that kind of abuse we give our arms(wrist) in whatever your profession may be, I speak from empirical evidence....especially in winter time as we usually wear long sleeves....

"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Great Tips in general and especially on the combined skin/hair/shirt application...
You surely do enjoy your Dior Homme Intense to the fullest...I certainly won't be the one to blame you for appreciating & using this precious Nectar.
I usually keep my DHI for evenings/night occasions, since I do not own the original Dior Homme...I use DHS (2012) for daytime...
Your enthusiasm makes me want to try DHI for work though
Sometimes I think Dior Homme would be perfect for when I crave for DHI...but am going to work
I am located in the Tropics, so we have very very few "cool days" to enjoy the powerful stuff in broad daylight

Always use three for this one. Generally on my chest under my t-shirt. Seems to last for me this way without offense to others.
I use three.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
5- neck-both wrists-inner elbows
Around 3 or 4
3-4 usually with Dior Homme Intense. I wear it to work often as well.
3 sprays for me: chest and each wrist.
As much as I want. 10+ if necessary and no worries. I guess that I'm lucky in that regard!
I use 2 sprays for a casual setting. 3 for going out.
1/2 spray on both sides of the neck.
Just one spray...wearing DHI it to work today. One spray in my palm...dab behind both ears and along my jawline, and at the base of my neck. All with one spray !
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest
- Benjamin Franklin
I haven't worn DHI to work yet. When I do, I'll start with 1 - 2 sprays. My work environment frowns on fragrances as we have a handful of over applicators who have made judicious application a requirement. I still wear fragrance everyday, but my work day application varies from 1-3 sprays depending on the scent I'm wearing. Evenings and weekends, however, open up a whole new world and I take full advantage!

600-year-old skeleton mystery at Fermanagh crannog site
Mystery surrounds a 600-year-old skeleton found at the site of an archaeological dig in County Fermanagh.
The crannog - a man made island settlement - is situated on a site where the new A32 Cherrymount link road in Enniskillen will be built.
The woman, who was in her late teens when she died, was not buried in either a recognised graveyard or in traditional manner.
This has led archaeologists to consider the possibility of foul play.
Excavation director Dr Nora Bermingham dated the teenager's death to around the 15th or 16th centuries.
"The skeleton of a young woman, probably around 18 or 19 with very bad teeth, was found in the upper layers of the crannog," she said.
End Quote Dr Nora Bermingham Excavation director
It's not uncommon for people who have either committed crimes or people who have been murdered or whatnot to have been buried in this fashion”
She said the burial was "irregular", but added the cause of death may only be discovered when the remains are examined by a bones specialist.
"All we can say at the moment was that the burial itself was in slight disarray, it was slightly disarticulated, which means that it wasn't a normal internment," she said.
"This person wasn't laid out on their back in an east-west direction, which is normal for a Christian burial.
"The body seems to have been bundled into the position it was buried in."
Considering whether the young woman may have been killed, Dr Bermingham added: "It's not uncommon for people who have either committed crimes or people who have been murdered or whatnot to have been buried in this fashion."
Dr John O'Keeffe, principal inspector of historic monuments with the Department of the Environment, said: "I very much suspect it was somebody who probably died suddenly and tragically at the site and rather than being brought to a graveyard they were buried there.
"I don't know if that was clandestine or what."Thousands of artefacts
The skull of the woman has sustained damage, but archaeologists are not sure if that happened prior to death or by disruption of the site in the centuries since.
The crannog site has turned out to be more significant than anyone originally thought and over the last nine months thousands of artefacts have been discovered dating between the 7th to the 16th centuries.
They include the remains of 30 wooden houses, including one which is 12m in diameter.
While the woman may be over half a millennium old, she would have lived at a time when the crannog was coming to the end of its period of habitation.
Carbon dating has confirmed that some of the site's earliest homes were built in and around 670AD.

We visited the zoo in order to kill a few hours on our last day in Amsterdam and were sorry we had to leave. It was right in the centre of the city, easy to walk to and find and not too pricey. The zoo itself is not the biggest or most impressive but incredibly beautiful, with lovely old buildings and a rich history, being one of the oldest zoos in Europe. We particularly loved the large conservatory type buildings filled with tropical plants, monkeys and birds that you are free to walk through. The aquarium is also well worth the visit and is included in the price. All in all a wonderful day out and most certainly one to visit to get away from the busy city.

In Rio 2 (April 11), we go from Rio to the Amazon for a richer and more musical comedy/adventure with newcomers Janelle Monae and Bruno Mars. Meanwhile, Blu (Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (Anne Hathaway), and their three kids travel to the rainforest and encounter more than family trouble. Director Carlos Saldanha, who signed a five-year deal with Fox to direct both live-action and animation, discusses raising the bar at Blue Sky.
From Rio to the Amazon. Let's talk about that.
It was really interesting to go there. I was born and raised in Rio and the Amazon is far but I always liked that mysterious vibe and had a need to go there. And I was always into the environment. But I never got the chance until after I finished the first movie and I wanted to put it in there. Was is it about it that interests people -- that interests me. It's so big, so vast, so diverse. What was it like to be there and what makes it so mysterious and difficult?
What's the light like? What are the colors like? What are the textures like?
Exactly. I'm a research freak but nothing prepared me for it. I remember walking into the jungle and just feeling how dark it is on the bottom. And then we up this gigantic tree and I wanted to get up to the top. It's light, it's bright, it's colorful, it's lush. And I wanted that for the movie because that's how I divide the world: Nigel lives at the bottom where it's dark and dingy, and the birds live at the top, where it's like Shangri-La. And that's how we art directed the two worlds. There are purples and blues and then we tried to come up with colors that feel part of it. And the red is a great contrast. The blue is trickier because there's the green and the yellow of the sun, but we managed to pull it out. So we always tried to have shafts of warm light coming through the canopies to allow the blue birds to really stand out.
How much of Epic were you able to leverage as far as the forest?
We didn't use the same trees but some of the technology for that creation. But mostly it was scale for the amount of characters. The evolution happened behind the scenes... the rigging. We advanced the rigs because we have more characters and we needed it to be faster. In the first movie, when we had all the characters in the scene, it was super heavy. The animator would click and stop because the rigs were very heavy. So for Epic, we developed a new rigging process that allows you have multiple characters and add more mobility to the them. It was much faster. So we adapted that to our movie and extended it. We re-rigged all our characters but used the same models. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do the big dance number.
There appears to be a lot more detail here.
There's way more detail. The feathers and the beaks are the same but with the new characters we add more, But we learned a lot from the previous movie. We also retooled for the 3-D and boosted the color more.
What is it about this family that you're enjoying most?
The first movie was more of a romance between these two birds. Are they going to fall in love. This one was about family dynamic. I come from a big family and I have children as well so I always love playing those dynamics. When we played around with this, I like the relationship of in laws. I think that's the fun part about how you try to keep it together without losing it.
But this isn't as dysfunctional as the Ice Age family.
No, but it has an element of flaws and complications. I think it feels more holistic because it's a defined family unit and is more relatable.
And always the jeopardy of being the last of their kind.
And the environment jeopardy. Now in the Amazon it's much bigger. The movie talks about their homes being destroyed and the [negative] impact of the human presence.
And for Blu that's hard because he has a more positive experience with humans.
And that also gives him an advantage because understands the human world more than the bird world so the story revolves around how much he can contribute to this new environment that he goes into. There's a strong message there.
Yes, a lot of the crew, a lot of the story guys, a lot of the animators are parents, too, so we all see ourselves a little bit in the characters that we come up with. And I think that's the fun part of animation: you manage to create elements that are familiar to you but you're looking into a character that is not at all real. But you feel the connection, the empathy. And for a second you forget that these are just birds talking. It's somebody that you know.
Music seems much more important to this movie as a tribal experience.
Yes, we pushed more. Musically, this movie is more multi-layered. I start with rhythms from Rio, and, as the story progresses, it starts to shape into its own rhythms of the jungle and the new sounds, and, by the end, it's a mixture of the two. Musically, John Powell and Sergio Mendes allow us to get a nice music exploration. So it feels much more sophisticated
You're finally doing The Story of Ferdinand.
I love that story. We're still working on the script -- it's early stages. Even though it comes out in 2017, I feel that I'm behind already. But, yes, I'm looking forward to it. I might squeeze in a live-action film first, Rust [a post-apocalyptic adventure based on the graphic novel by Royden Lepp involving a family of farmers, a boy with a jetpack, and a giant decommissioned war robot].

Aardvark DailyNew Zealand's longest-running online daily news and commentary publication, now in its 19th year. The opinion pieces presented here are not purported to be fact but reasonable effort is made to ensure accuracy.
Content copyright © 1995 - 2015 to Bruce Simpson (aka Aardvark), the logo was kindly created for Aardvark Daily by the folks at aardvark.co.uk

A most unlikely news story has flashed around the world's wires over the past couple of days -- and it's fooled more than a few commentators.
According to the reports, The Pirate Bay is about to relocate its operations to the newly connected nation of North Korea, on the invitation of that country's leader.
Imagine the irony if the world's most oppressive nation were to become the world's least restrictive internet environment -- thumbing its nose at the conventions and treaties by which the rest of the planet operates.
However, on closer investigation, it appears that the story is, at best, a terrible misunderstanding.
Apparently a post on the TPB website's blog claimed that Kim Jong-Un had offered a home and sanctuary for the site and its servers but this claim has been made before -- some 6 years ago.
All indications are however, that there is no more veracity to this week's claim than when it was first made back in 2007.
Given the levels of control, suppression and surveillance now being applied to the Net and its contents by "big brother" governments around the globe, the prospect of a "hands-off" host would probably be incredibly attractive to many individuals, groups and businesses.
Kim Dotcom for one, would find such a country to be the perfect place to run his Mega services -- the USA and other countries having no presence or power to interfere.
I've already written about attempts to create just such an independent entity in the form of the Principality of Sealand but this failed for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that there just wasn't the demand for such freedoms.
However, the world is a much different place today and with SOPA, ACTA, SkyNet and a raft of other "clampdowns" on Net freedoms I suspect that a totally hands-off (some might say "lawless") environment from which to run an online venture could be a viable commercial operation.
Let's face it, the internet is now big, very-very big!
Kim Dotcom made a very useful fortune by allegedly "facilitating" the trading of copyrighted material through is MegaUpload service. Imagine how much could be made by operating a completely open and unfettered version of the same, from a location that didn't give a hoot about copyright laws or other restrictions.
And North Korea might be a great place to create such a venture, given that it's a nation which loves to thumb its nose at the West and certainly needs the huge revenues that such a service might produce.
Perhaps, if Kim Jong-Un really wants to disempower the West or start a massive war then he ought to abandon his nuclear weapons program and instead, invest that money and effort into creating a Net-based service that strikes at the very heart of the US administration's powerbase -- the MPAA/RIAA.
Not only would this really piss off a lot of politicians and executives, it would likely turn Kim into cyber-citizen of the year within certain circles. N.Korea would be catapulted from pariah to celebrity superstar in the eyes of those who thrive on getting their media, games and other software for free.
I wonder what provisions the USA and other nations have on their statutes for blocking access to an entire nation on the grounds that they're not signatories to global treaties (such as those covering copyright). Would attempts to implement such blocks simply highlight the Net's ability to reroute around "damage" such as that and leave egg on the face of the politicians who tried it?
Gosh, 2013 could turn into a very exciting year!

An old wood pallet makes a perfect base. Not only is it sturdy, you’ll help reduce waste in our overburdened landfill. Try building with composite lumber, made of sawdust and recycled plastics. It’s more durable than pressure-treated lumber and contains no toxic chemicals that could harm you pet. Most composite wood/lumber products consist of 50/50 mix of wood fibers, made from recovered saw dust and waste plastics, such as PVD.
A layer of bricks make a smooth floor that’s cool in the summer. For the roof, eco-friendly shake roof tiles, made from recycled tires, provide a great insulation barrier. Eco-friendly shake rubber roof tiles look like the real thing, but are considerably lighter than conventional shingles. They’re made with 100% recycled materials and carry warranties for as long as 50 years.
When you're ready to paint, look for low VOC products. They’re made with fewer solvents which can produce smog. Low VOC (volatile organic compound) paint is specially formulated to have lower levels of smog-producing pollutants. They’re also low in odor and resistant to mildew.

Cutting Emissions While Boosting Profits
Cutting Emissions While Boosting Profits
From a business perspective, not all carbon cuts are created equal. Business leaders may care about climate issues in a general way, but they want the emissions cuts to boost profits.
The press and other media teem with suggestions. In the absence of coherent regulations, the decision becomes a complex economic one, and not many organizations have the time and the analytical oomph to sort through all the calculations.
Fortunately, the industrious numbers-crunchers at McKinsey & Co., of management consulting fame, have done the hard work. The firm examined the costs and effectiveness of many methods of cutting carbon dioxide emissions with admirable thoroughness in their December 2007 report, "Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: How Much at What Cost?" First, they devised a plausible "business as usual" reference case against which they could make comparisons. They arrived at a number of conclusions for policymakers that are also directly relevant for businesses.
Anyone following recent climate and energy discussions has seen this chart. It's probably the single most useful comparison of carbon cutting methods, and with the slowing economy, it's more relevant than ever. McKinsey arranges the methods from left to right according to cost.
The vertical axis is the cost of abating greenhouse gas emissions, while the horizontal axis shows the gigatons of gasses cut. Each green bar shows the cost abatement profile for a particular method, ranging from building insulation to carbon capture and storage. The width of the green bars shows how much carbon the method prevents from entering the atmosphere. Below the zero line, the methods below the zero line cut emissions and cut expenses. Measures above the zero line may cut emissions, but cost more than business as usual.
For example, "avoided forestation" on a large enough scale cuts a huge amount of CO2, but the cost is high. Wind power on a small scale isn't quite as expensive, but it's still costly.
The most profitable methods for cutting a business's carbon dioxide emissions crowd the left-hand side of the chart:
-- Fuel efficiency in commercial vehicles
-- Lighting systems
To take the top three in reverse order: Lighting means replacing incandescent with compact fluorescent lights. Since every schoolchild and magazine reader in America has been thoroughly drilled on this topic, we don't need to say more.
Fuel efficiency in commercial vehicles is obvious, too, and even with the current low prices for gas and diesel fuel, the case for better mileage is compelling. A large swath of businesses thinks, "Ah, problem over. Everybody back in the pool." Yet it's a safe bet that eventually the price of oil will climb again. The parabola in oil prices will be back -- even if it turns out to be another asset bubble unmoored from the underlying supply constraints.
The first step -- building insulation -- should galvanize business readers. Redoing insulation in existing structures takes an investment of time, trouble and money, but the return period is pretty prompt. In fact, upgrading insulation pays off so quickly that it's worth doing even in the absence of greenhouse gas abatement plusses. The overall profit improvement is even better than it first appears, because insulation also improves air conditioning efficiency as well as heating.
Conventional fiberglass insulation helps, and many contractors know how to install it. Even more effective in most circumstances is blown-in foam, which is well-suited for retrofits. Foam comes in many varieties, and companies must research which one suits their buildings best.
Insulation is lacking in glamour and visual appeal. But why step over dollars to pick up pennies?
Brian Thomas, a writer who specializes in climate change and the capital markets, maintains the blog "Carbon-Based." While at Swiss Re, he managed the firm's participation in the Harvard
Medical School's "Climate Change Futures" project.

This comment which came up in a book, has lived with me for a long time and I use it in a sense to evaluate what I am looking at when I visit longbarrows or cromlechs, I expect most people do.
The first thing that one notices at prehistoric sites is their landscape, and the question must always come to mind as to why people settled within a particular area. Their stone monuments are supposedly places of ritual and ceremonial enactions, and much energetic modern intellectual speculation is spent on trying to fathom out the reason why. The answer is of course we don't know, their is no written evidence, so what evidence there is to gather must come from archaeological exploration.
Three very famous longbarrows lie within a 40 kilometre distance of my home, Stoney Littleton, West Kennet Longbarrow and Wayland Smithy. All have distinct features and an incredible presence within their modern landscapes, and I suspect the same could be said that when originally built they would also have an awesome effect on the neolithic people.
Making a space in place is marking a home spot, a territory to return to, a place where the ancestors can rest and be visited; a longbarrow by its very presence will accumulate its ancestral stories and folklores.
The first thing to notice about the later Welsh cromlechs, (and taking them as an example )is there very cave-like appearance, this perhaps gives us an inkling of what a tomb, the resting place of ancestral bones was all about. Originally through the much earlier periods of mesolithic and paleolithic man, cave dwelling was part of their lives. Simplistically put, this ancestral link to caves came down through to the neolithic period, and when the longbarrows were constructed out of very solid natural stones, the appearance would have suggested going into a cave. This can best be explained by the fact that the constructed stone chambers only go back a short distance compared to the very long length of the barrow itself, the back soil and turf (the major part) of the barrow in actual fact represents the hill or cliff in which the chamber/ cave is situated now this of course is only a theory......
Wayland's Smithy long earthen structure outlined by stones;
Stoney Littleton has a different facade, plain, its entrance stones decorated with fossils and the large ammonite stone on the left, but inside the six chambers are very 'cavelike' , and often this is interpreted as a returning to the 'womb' . This statement needs some explaining, it has been suggested that if neolithic people saw the 'earth' as a living body, a mother form, fertility symbol, then returning the dead to the earth/mother, would in some ways keep them alive or renew them. This was after all a primitive culture, that made offerings of flint, pottery, and food into pits and postholes, one presumes in the hope that the earth/mother would make more of this bounty.

Harry D Watson’s rather po-faced contribution (Letters, 21 February) misses the point. Apart from the fact that our English cousins would justify criticising Scottish accents as “just a bit of fun”, which illustrated how touchy Scots are, the main target has been the synthetic accent adopted by the upper and middle classes as confirmation of their superiority.
There is nothing prejudiced in quoting examples of such speech. My “favourites” in this regard are the elongated “bath” and “year” pronounced “yir”.
Scots have every right to protest when it is assumed that this stylised pronunciation is assumed to be admired or even acceptable here.
Surveys of call centre users have confirmed repeatedly that throughout the UK a Scottish accent is very popular.
Is there anything more ridiculous than the bearer of an ancient clan title rising to address his clan in a voice like Brian Sewell? But this is what acceptance of the promotion of “superior” speech through public schools has brought us.

Catch up on what has happened in the sprawling world of Downton Abbey. Watch a short video recap for episode 5 or read the full synopsis below.
As the war promises to draw to a close, uncertainty still reigns. With its ruined aristocratic houses, rationing, and fallen officers, war's aftermath opens some doors for the present and former servants and slams shut others. Meanwhile, Isobel's post-war plans create an indomitable, if unlikely, alliance. But when a mysterious stranger arrives, Downton faces more turmoil.
Sir Richard is anxious to take not just Downton's most beautiful asset, but one of its most treasured as well. In return and against Robert's wishes, he restores a powerful replacement in its halls. And Vera Bates takes startling action.

Warning: Contains significant plot spoilers
As Mary, now Matthew's practiced caregiver, wheels him around the grounds, Sir Richard Carlisle watches from afar, jealous of their comfortable intimacy. Mary reminds Matthew that she needn't marry Carlisle but Matthew, convinced he is unfit for anyone, would never let her throw her life away with him. Meanwhile, Carlisle informs Cora and Robert of his plans to purchase the nearby Haxby Park and outfit it with all the modern conveniences for him and Mary. What he doesn't tell them, or Mary, is that he plans to bring Carson with him.
Word that peace is imminent circulates and Isobel is ready with post-war plans. Rather than allowing Downton Abbey to return to its former state, she urges Cora and Violet to make it a recovery center after the war; naturally she will run it. Desperate, Violet researches causes that might tempt Isobel away from Downton, finally landing one irresistible to the well-meaning Isobel: helping refugees displaced by the war. Isobel departs and Cora, for once, is immensely grateful to her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Patmore, however, is worried by one aspect of armistice: food rationing. This gives Thomas an idea — worried about his own future after the war, he considers a venture in the black market. The new housemaid, the war widow Jane, encourages Daisy to accompany her to a local organization for war widows, but Daisy refuses, feeling it would be dishonest. She confronts Mrs. Patmore about pushing her into marrying William.
Meanwhile, Sybil is beginning to yield to Branson. She asks him to be patient for a little longer, unwilling to leave while the war is still on and Downton needs her.
Clarkson tells Robert they have received a request from a Canadian major, Patrick Gordon, who has asked to convalesce at Downton because of a family connection. Puzzled, they accept the request and Edith welcomes the officer, who has been burnt beyond recognition. He tells Edith that they spent a great deal of time together during their childhood and is visibly hurt that she doesn't recognize him. Finally, he reveals that he is none other than Patrick Crawley, Downton Abbey's heir who had allegedly perished on the Titanic six years before. Edith is shocked — though Mary had been intended for Patrick, it was she who loved him. She believes the officer, amazed at how much he remembers from their childhoods. He had suffered from amnesia ever since the tragedy, taking his surname, Gordon, from a gin bottle, and only since his injury at Passchendaele has he begun to recover his memory.
Edith reports the revelation to Robert, who doesn't know what to believe and feels it necessary to consult their lawyer. During a family conference, Mary is defiant in declaring Patrick an impostor and Matthew, for his part, seems bitterly reconciled to the revelation. Edith informs Patrick that the lawyer's report is inconclusive and she urges him to carry on in his pursuit of the truth. But she is crushed to discover that he has fled Downton.
Planning his new life with Mary in Haxby Hall, Carlisle asks Carson to come work for them there. The butler is torn, heartbroken at the thought of leaving Downton but resigned to accompany his beloved Mary, who will surely need him. Carson is at odds with Mrs. Hughes, whom he has caught aiding the increasingly desperate Ethel. When he informs Cora, she suggests that Robert might contact Major Bryant to see if he will visit, with a view to convincing him of his responsibilities. Ethel is hopeful until she learns that Bryant was killed at the Battle of Vittorio Veneto.
Carlisle sees Matthew as the true threat to his happiness. Preying on Cora's concern that Mary would never produce children with Matthew, he convinces her to help him return Lavinia to Downton and Matthew's side. When Carlisle brings Lavinia back to Downton, Robert is incensed at Cora's complicity. Only the new maid, Jane, can make him smile, laugh and feel needed as he offers to help her son in his academic pursuits. Carlisle threatens to ruin Mary if she breaks their engagement.
Bates receives a phone call alerting him that Vera has succeeded in stopping the divorce by revealing to the judge that Bates had paid her to end their marriage. Furious, he ventures to London to reason with Vera, but not before Robert cautions him to watch his temper. On his return, sporting a fresh abrasion on his face, Bates confides in Anna that his meeting with Vera was worse than could be imagined.
A solemn gathering of the family and staff marks the end of the war and, in Robert's words, "the dawn of a new age." Indeed, it may be so for Matthew, who experiences a mysterious sensation he is reluctant to share. But the happy occasion abruptly ends when Bates receives a telegram stating that Vera Bates is dead.

Hi. Just curious why you said not to use tempera on papier mache. I ALWAYS
use tempera on papier mache in my middle school classroom so I found your
comment interesting. Could you explain your rationale a little further?
I have found that tempera weakens papier mache because of the water. I use
acrylic because it makes it more durable. That is my own experience. I use
acrylic for all sculpture (that is painted) or any thing I want to be durable.
Also tempera can crack and acrylic is more elastic and doesn't crack. Again,
just my own experience. Everyone is going to go with what works for them. I
just find that when I have students use tempera on papier mache, it can loose
its shape if it gets too wet. I also have them gesso the papier mache
sculptures before painting with acrylic. Lots of steps...but the result tends to be
more permanent than if painted with tempera.
I use tempera almost exclusively for 2-D painting...but that is pretty much
it. I have used it "under duress" when I ran out of paint and was completely
desperate, but the product was not durable, could not be saved and cracked when
moved or manipulated (with murals and sculputure).
As for the kind of temperas I use (I know that will come up now that is a
"debate!) I use crayola premium and sax ultra.
Again, preferences for materials are based on one's own experiences. These
are mine with tempera.

51 year old Doug Hutchison and his creepy 16 year old wife refuse to go away, because society is fascinated by a train wreck that seems to be wrong on a basic moral level. Defenders will argue the point and say that it’s legal for them to be married and that love is just a number, but having sex with a pumpkin is probably legal, doesn’t make it right, and 3 is a number too, what’s your point?
Is it wrong to sit in judgment of other people’s lives? Hell no, it’s the basis of our system of laws and civilized society that we judge each other. We have people called judges. If we took no interest in what others do and let them live as they please you’d still have John Wayne Gacy doing birthday parties. And with that in mind, let’s take a moment to try to figure out what’s wrong with this girl’s head.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
People with narcissistic personality disorder may receive excessive praise for exceptional looks as children by adults. They maybe overindulged and overvalued by parents as well. Does Courtney fit those criteria? Here’s a quote from her mom “In grade school, she was one of the most popular girls… But what happened was, when she entered sixth grade, she started showing a beauty above the rest … and they couldn’t handle her.”
Just one quote, right? Hardly seems relevant. Here’s another “She’s the most honest girl you’ll ever meet, and the people who are turning around and calling her all these rotten names are girls that have been sleeping around, who have disgusting lives.”
Sufferers of this disorder also desire constant attention, are preoccupied with notions of success and fame and take advantage of others to achieve that goal. Courtney is an aspiring singer who was taking “acting classes” from Doug, who she met online. Her singing career, now 4 years in the making, was non-existent as was her fame before she married a man 35 years her elder. Now they’re shopping a reality show.
People with this disorder exaggerate their achievements and abilities. Courtney calls herself a recording artist, singer/songwriter, actress and model on her site despite her recording career being limited to her Youtube account.
Another sign of the disorder is that children are valued by their parents as a means to regulate their own self-esteem. Courtney’s mother is their manager and make up artist. According to people who knew Courtney long before this all happened, Courtney’s mother has long been living vicariously through her daughter and has tried to convince her that everyone who criticizes her is just jealous. People also claim her mother paid for a boob job for her, despite recent assertions her breasts are real. Four other plastic surgeons have claimed its nearly impossible that a 16 year old girl would have breasts like that naturally, of course, but whatever.
Does she have fake breasts? Here’s her in 2009. Check her out at 0:08
Now here’s her in 2010. Check out 0:15. See a difference?
But hey, at least that narcissism thing seems to be working out. We’re took some psych courses in school.
Huffing Canned Air
Did you see our Video of the Day yesterday? It was enlightening. Have a look and tell me this doesn’t, in some way, evoke memories of the interview with Ms. Stodden.
She never claims to be walking on sunshine but she does call him a tiger in the sack, which is just as ridiculous.
Watch her in any interview and try not to yawn as she squints sleepily at the camera, makes duck faces and stares with the lazy eyes of a rock bass in sub zero water at her husband, mere moments away from collapsing in a heap of snoring silicon, botox and sluttery on the carpet.
A major sign of Ambien abuse is ataxia, or poor motor coordination, which may account for whatever the hell is wrong with her face when she’s not talking. It’s like watching Jim Carrey in his Ace Ventura days trying to prepare for a scene, only in slow motion. Another sign of abuse is uninhibited extroversion in social situations, which may explain her need to tell us about her sex life with grandpa.
If you ever watched Star Trek you know all about temporal distortions. But if you watched it during the years of Brannon Braga and Rick Berman you know they never needed to make sense and were just used as a weak-ass Deus Ex Machina because those guys made bad TV. But! None of that means Courtney Stodden isn’t living in one right now.
Look at that GIF and marvel over whether she’s choking back vomit and then trying to make it look sexy, or if her entire body is just bursting with tachyon radiation and existing apart from linear time as we know it. Her face is desperately trying to say probably a million things at one time across a million different moments but caught in this one singular time it can barely cope with the stress of it all. The resulting damage to her mind has left her unable to even understand why marrying a 51 year old man is gross, or to appreciate the damage it has caused to her body.
Peter Pan Syndrome
This condition is not recognized by any mental health body, including the American Psychiatric Association. It’s not a real thing in the sense that you can’t fix it or aren’t aware of it or whatever, it’s apparently just an issue of someone of a certain age pretending to be of another age. And yes, many people have confirmed that Courtney Stodden is, in fact, a legitimate 16 year old girl but God knows how people can see the President’s birth certificate and still question his birthplace but we’ll buy the credentials of a girl who looks like a tired old cougar with a facial tic.
Doug Hutchison is a cult leader and Courtney Stodden is his child bride. Tell me I’m wrong.

A meal at Verre by Gordon Ramsay, at the Hilton Dubai Creek, comes with the huge burden of elevated expectations. After all, the venerable Michelin-starred chef's first restaurant outside the UK has always remained one of Dubai's top culinary choices ever since it opened almost a decade ago.
I realised why it continues to hold such a high place in every gourmet's list, when I went there for dinner the other day. The minimalist white dcor spelled pure class; it is indeed a place tailor-made for a special occassion with a certain special someone. Adding to the ambience were the friendly and attentive staff who explained the menu in detail, making our choice really easy.
We started with the canaps. The prawn crackers with green chilli dip were delicious as were the pastry balls with cheese dips. Being a cheese-o-holic, I simply relished them all.
The pre-starter, mushroom mousse with foam, was a pleasant surprise too – light and really yummy! Next came the elaborate starters – pressed terrine of foie gras des Landes, spiced pineapple and toasted brioche, roast ballotine of Vende quail with home-cured pancetta and my favourite –sweetcorn and tarragon ecrass.
The anticipation only built up more after that spectacular start. The two items we ordered for the mains – Cannon of Mulwarra lamb, parmesan boulangre potato blushed tomatoes, baby spinach and a natural jus, and castaing duck breast with port braised turnips, Shiitake mushrooms, pak choi and duck wontons – took us straight to culinary heaven. Could there be anything to surpass what we just had? Yes there was! The pre-dessert surprise was an utterly lovely strawberry cheesecake.
Just when I felt I couldn't have anything more, came the dessert. The famous caramelised apple tarte Tatin with anise ice-cream that was prepared right in front us provided the perfect end to a very special treat.
The final word? Food-wise, Verre By Gordon Ramsay was easily the best restaurant I have been to in Dubai. Think perfect presentation, warm service and the most exotic culinary delicacies – what more could one ask for?

Have you ever wondered where the term “nest egg” comes from? Not surprisingly, it’s a farming term. In order to motivate hens to begin laying eggs, or to lay more of them, farmers placed eggs (both real and fake) in their nests.
In finances, this term refers to any funds set aside for a specific purpose, so they can grow and be used later in life.
When you’ve heard the term nest egg before, you may have thought only of retirement savings. This is just one of the many purposes for which people start and contribute to a nest egg.
Nest eggs can be created for funding any large investment, including your child’s education. College is expensive. Personally, I want to learn my from own experience of being forced to rely on student loans when it comes to planning for my own children.
Children are too young to be worried about saving for their futures, so it’s our job as parents to begin the process for them. That way, they’ll be well on their way to financial stability as they grow into adulthood. Starting to build a financial nest egg for them while they’re still in the nest not only creates a more hopeful financial outlook for their future; it’s a perfect opportunity to teach them good financial habits.
Here are a few practical ways to start a nest egg for your children:
1. Save what you can, when you can
When your family is young, there are so many demands on your money; there won’t be money laying around begging to be invested in a nest egg. You have to take the time to plan a nest egg savings category into your budget, even if it’s small. (Remember that even a small investment grows exponentially over time with the wonder of compound interest!)
Be sure to take advantage of tax-deferred or free accounts designed specifically for college savings.
2. Encourage financial responsibility in your children
Teach your children to save money from gifts and other small jobs, instead of spending it, but don’t force them to. Forcing kids to save their own money for their college fund isn’t as effective as encouraging this behavior and emphasizing the positive results. The desire to be involved in their own finances will lay the ground work for their adult attitude toward saving.
3. Contribute toward the nest egg in lieu of short-term gifts
You shouldn’t deprive your child of gifts, but if it’s a choice between something that’s momentary or something that’s lasting, consider investing in their future. They may think of you as a tightwad now, but they’ll definitely thank you later!
Have you started a nest egg for your kids? How do you find the money to contribute to it?
Editor's Note: I've begun tracking my assets through Personal Capital. I'm only using the free service so far and I no longer have to log into all the different accounts just to pull the numbers. And with a single screen showing all my assets, it's much easier to figure out when I need to rebalance or where I stand on the path to financial independence. They developed this pretty nifty 401K Fee Analyzer that will show you whether you are paying too much in fees, as well as an Investment Checkup tool to help determine whether your asset allocation fits your risk profile. The platform literally takes a few minutes to sign up and it's free to use by following this link here. For those trying to build wealth, Personal Capital is worth a look.

|Titles||Queen of the Noldor.|
|Death||YOTT 1179, Lórien. (aged Unknown.)|
Míriel Serindë, also spelled Þerindë, ("The Broideress" in Quenya) was the first wife of Finwë, King of the Noldor. Her son was Curufinwë, whom she called Fëanor, which means "Spirit of Fire". Miriel's hair was described as being silver in appearance, an unusual color for one of the Noldor.
After giving birth to Fëanor she wished to die, saying that the birth had taken much of strength and spirit. This was something which was impossible because, as an Elf, she was immortal within Arda. Instead her feä departed from her body, and she entered the Halls of Mandos. In essense, she had died of free will. This was seen as a shocking event by the Valar, and eventually led to the second marriage of Finwë, and from there to the Rebellion of the Noldor and the First Kinslaying.
