Dear Amel owners,
It is coming on 3 years NIKIMAT was lost, I am slowly moving on and eventually will use the domain name for another project.
Therefore, I do not want all the illustrations to be lost, so I put them on a new site called:
(With a bit of sadness selecting the pictures) I added a “Tour” (when I took possession of the vessel and completely emptied it).
Despite many information being missing, I hope future owners will enjoy the pictures, seeing the inside of the cabinets, some of the features, etc.
The links or page names will remain the same, for example:
If you see dead link / missing pages, let me know (forum or direct email).
Nikimat.com will stay up for sometime, but start referring the new domain name.
Note: I have SuperMaramu.com for sale for $100.
I still keep an eye on the forum and hope to continue to meet and see again some of you.

Prompted by a conversation a while back with Wallace Tait, I’ve been taking a look at some of the other mind mapping packages available. My initial conclusions were that there is some great software but there was nothing to tempt me away from MindManager.
Most recently I download a trial of OpenMind 2 for Business (soon to be MindView3 for Business). I was immediately drawn to the Office integration features. Readers of the blog will know I use mind mapping for document production, exporting the result to MS Word. Great results can be achieved with MindManager if you are prepared to invest a bit of time in learning the export function and developing Word templates.
MindView implements the Word export function very well indeed. You can select from a range of templates that come with the software or use one of your own. Press the button and MindView creates the Word document. The speed of this needs to be experienced to be believed. The Word styles to base your own templates on are those named “Heading 1”, “Heading 2” and so on. There is an hmtl export also – useful to create a quick, simple web site form your map. All very impressive.
Export is also possible to PowerPoint and Project. Outlook is included also and it is possible to define a specific Outlook Task folder to synchronise the map with – great when you have multiple projects, each with a map, and want to keep the tasks separate in Outlook.
Another great feature is the “View map as …” option that instantly changes the style of map from mind map to hierarchies, a timeline view and a Gantt, as well as an outline view.
The Microsoft “ribbon” is nicely implemented and in a very visual style.
I recommend you take the free trial and see MindView for yourself.

The "Tarbouch" ottoman, or pouf as it is also called, by Mostapha El Oulhani is a quirky piece of children's furniture modeled after the popular Arab headgear, the tarbouch.
The tarbouch is a male head piece most commonly found in Arab and Middle Eastern countries like Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Morroco and Turkey. It is a cone-like structure with a flat top, has a black tassel dangling from it, and is covered in red felt.
In El Oulhani's design, the headgear is transformed into a felt-lined foam seat for children, hard enough to sit on, but light enough to pull by themselves.
The Tarbouch ottoman is available at Dar en Art.

A range of factors causes effusion in the joints, and the cause is crucial in determining the treatment. One of the most important indications is whether the onset of the effusion is sudden or gradual. Effusion refers to fluid collecting around the dog's joints, in this case the knee joint. You may notice the dog's leg swelling, or it may become obvious that the dog is trying to avoid bearing weight on one leg.
Treatment for Trauma
The collection of fluid around the joint may be caused by trauma somewhere in the surrounding area. The treatment for this will depend on the extent of the damage. If there is damage to the tissue in the surrounding area, the vet will advise that the dog should be kept as quiet as possible to rest the leg and will also prescribe painkilling medication.
Treatment for Arthritis
Dogs may develop arthritis, and more than one joint may be affected. This is more common in older dogs and usually develops fairly slowly. You may notice a difference in the dog's gait and walk, as well as some swelling around the joint. An anti-inflammatory pill may be prescribed by the vet, who will weigh the dog to determine the dosage.
Effusion of the knee is a symptom rather than a disease, so the vet will have to investigate the cause. X-rays will be taken. If there is a tumour in the surrounding area, it may be possible to have this removed. Blood tests will be taken. If these indicate any underlying illness, like a kidney problem or immune disorder, treatment may the prescription of steroid medication for the dog.

I have tried a couple of times to start an afghan with the wave stitch. I follow the pattern but it just sort of curls up. I was wondering if there are any suggestions for doing this pattern. thanks
Could you write out the pattern stitch and maybe I could help? I'm not familiar with that stitch off the top of my head.
Here is a link to a pattern that is like I have tried. Instead of laying flat mine forms cups where the waves change. I don't crochet tight and can usually crochet anything even complicated patterns, but this I just can't seem to do. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Breaking down the workload and finding the core structure of your business takes a lot of work. Remember, for a business to thrive, you and your team need to be a well-oiled machine. The Work Breakdown Structure Checklist is a free template that helps you and your team develop this core structure in the planning stages of your new business.
You will be given a simple checklist-style Word document that you can edit and change as you see fit. The idea is to organize your planning so the end result is the finished structure of your business. To see what this template can offer you, follow the link at the bottom of this page to download your free copy.
Using the Work Breakdown Structure Checklist
Begin by entering the name of your project and the date you want to complete the structure of your business on this template.
The main table features example tasks that will help you and your team hammer out the system you want to use for your company. For example, if you’re involved with selling a product, you can create tasks like “Calculate number of employees needed to manage the front-end of the store.”
Your first step to completing this template is to go through the list and keep what works for you, change the specifics, or replace the item entirely. You know your business best so make this template your own.
We will use an example so you know how to use this template properly. Look at example item #18. This example states “Have you reviewed the WBS with all the appropriate stakeholders?” This is a very important question because it shows stakeholders the commitment and organization of your goals and ideas.
Once you have the details of your business structure, you can mark this example item as “Yes.” If you’re still working on a few elements, then you need to mark the item as “No,” for now.
Using this method, you will make sure that all the fine-details of your business have been thoroughly considered.

Joyce Tatsey Spoonhunter Found Guilty in U.S. Federal Court
The United States Attorney's Office announced that on May 22, 2013, in Great Falls, after a federal district court trial before Chief U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen, JOYCE TATSEY SPOONHUNTER, a 56-year-old resident of Browning, was found guilty of three counts of wire fraud. Sentencing is set for August 28, 2013. She is currently released on special conditions.
At trial, the following evidence and testimony was presented to the jury.
The North American Indian Days is a time for celebration on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Friends gather, eat, enjoy the warm summer days, and vendors attend to display their skills and products in order to generate income off the attendees. A tremendous amount of money is generated during the celebration.
SPOONHUNTER used her position in the Blackfeet Tribe to steal money from individuals who tried to reserve spots for vendor sites at the North American Indian Days. When the vendors arrived, their spots had not been reserved, and their payments to SPOONHUNTER had not been turned over to the Tribe. As a result, vendors were required to double-pay or move their reserved spots to an undesirable location at the North American Indian Days. Payments made to individuals other than SPOONHUNTER had no problem.
The amount SPOONHUNTER is accountable for was approximately $8,000.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan G. Weldon prosecuted the case for the United States.
SPOONHUNTER faces, for each count, possible penalties of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and 3 years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Blackfeet Internal Affairs.

How often do we hear the word "smart" about technology? There are smartphones, televisions, cars, energy, transportation systems — even hospital beds.
This rhetoric of "smartness" is provocative because it implies that we can use information to create knowledge necessary to understand and shape judgment — what we often think of as intelligence.
It is not surprising that objects like smartphones, connected sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) have begun to serve almost as an extension of human intelligence. These systems are powerful. Our intuition is challenged, for example, when Google Maps insists on "redirecting" our routes. The information available through these shared devices can bring extraordinary benefits, including solving critical health and social challenges.
With support from a grant from the Cleveland Foundation, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University, we have partnered to accelerate our region's ability to realize the many possibilities of this growing information ecosystem. We are focusing on advancing this technology's impact on some of Northeast Ohio's greatest strengths: manufacturing, energy and health care. Imagine the savings when factory sensors can give warnings well in advance of the failure of a key machine part. Or the ability to manage energy use more effectively by integrating different power grids to provide more real-time information — especially in the case of weather-related challenges. As for health care, consider the amount of data fitness trackers alone collect, and how, if aggregated, the information could be used to benefit entire communities.
And yet, whenever personal data goes online, privacy concerns exist. And, after recent revelations involving Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, people have more reason than ever to fear how our information may be accessed and used.
The social media giant has shared that the now-defunct political consulting company accessed the information of as many as 87 million Facebook users. News reports detailed that the firm had claimed it not only could predict individuals' behavior based on their online activity, but also influence potential voters. Facebook has enacted multiple privacy improvements, Cambridge Analytica announced its closure this month, and the U.S. Justice Department and FBI recently announced an investigation of the now-defunct firm.
As unnerving as this publicity has been, it is important to recognize that such misuse of information does not diminish its potential for good — nor our universities' shared commitment to realizing some of its promise. Our faculty are designing research interventions that will use data to improve water quality, protect natural resources, improve public transportation, create jobs and even reduce infant mortality rates.
Our enthusiasm about the benefits of the Internet of Things does not mitigate concerns about data security. It is healthy that people are taking a more active interest in learning about the extent to which the information they share online may be monetized or otherwise used for purposes other than those they originally intended. We all should be asking ourselves important questions about the way we use social media and other online applications.
For example, we should read the privacy policies of organizations that hold our data. With whom do they share our information? How quickly will they notify users of breaches or instances of abuse? And what recompense will they provide those whose data have been compromised?
Growing awareness of the need for personal vigilance is healthy, but we cannot let fear foreclose opportunities to better or even save lives. Sensors in sewers can help avert toxic waste overflows. Data from wearable fitness trackers can provide physicians real-time updates of vital signs. Internet searches about aches and pains can help predict the timing and location of flu outbreaks — the list goes on.
Our collaborative is committed to identifying ways to use data responsibly to achieve positive outcomes. To realize such goals, we must develop a collective sense of constructive, yet cautious, altruism. As with donating money or giving blood, contributing information itself can help others — and ourselves.
It's an approach that is not just smart, but wise.

Brace yourselves everyone! The media is about to be full of stories about Monday 7th January being ‘National Divorce Day‘. For some reason this has grown as a story over the last few years and seems to get higher profile coverage every time it comes around.
The truth of the matter is something rather more complex. Yes, rhw receive increased levels of enquiries about divorce and mediation following the Christmas holidays but there are also similar spikes in calls and emails following the Easter and Summer holidays.
Most people do not decide to separate on the basis of an indifferent or difficult holiday period. Usually the problems have been there for a long time but work and the day to day schedule of the school run etc tend to keep couples from spending extended periods of time in close proximity. The cracks in the relationship are therefore held at bay. Holiday periods change that dynamic as families spend long periods of time together and this can bring issues and problems to a head.

Gran Turismo 6 is speeding along towards release, and today Polyphony Digital announced the sets of retailer-specific pre-order goodies you can expect from the upcoming racer. The bonuses include a bevy of extra cars or in-game currency, depending on where you plunk down your reservation.
As announced on the PlayStation.Blog, all pre-orders will get a 4-Car Pack (above) that includes a BMW Z4 GT3 11, Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 13, Tesla Model S Signature Performance 13, and a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) 14. Amazon pre-orders will also get $1 million worth of in-game credit, to customize your own line-up of cars right from the start.
Those who order at GameStop will get 20 unique vehicles, along with custom paint chips, race suit, helmet, PSN Avatar, and the Beyond the Apex II app. Each of the 20 will feature their own visual or performance upgrades over the standard models. The included cars are:

Most people prefer carpet to flooring; this is because of their warmth and the attractiveness they add in the room. Keeping your carpet clean is a daunting task. This is because it is bound to be spilled on drinks, stepped on with dirty shoes among other incidents. Getting your carpet sparkling includes extensive labor and maintenance.Implementing the best cleaning strategies from experts is paramount and necessary to getting a sparkly carpet and also in ensuring that your carpet lasts long.
Here are tips that will help you get rid of stains and dirt from your carpet;
1. Avoid rubbing stains
Doing this only gets the stains to stick on the carpet making it even harder to get rid of them. The advised way is to blot; blotting is putting pressure on the stain using a clean cloth. Make sure you begin from outside going inwards this will help prevent the stain from spreading.
2. Shaving cream
Many people have not noticed that the solution to getting rid of those stains in their carpets is actually some shaving cream. The best thing is that It can be used on all types of stains. What you need to do is to apply a portion of shaving cream directly on the stain and leave it there for approximately 45 minutes. Then using a dry clean cloth blot the stain away. Then mix vinegar, water and spray it on the blotted area and wipe the area. The results will amaze you.
3. Ice cubes
What do you do with a stuck chewing on your carpet? The mess is gross and no one can stand it. Well if this happens rush to your fridge and takes ice cubes. Place them on the stuck chewing for close to a minute. After doing this pick a spoon or spatula and scoop it.While lifting it up cut the strands of carpet making sure you do not damage the carpet.
4. Do a thorough cleaning
This is very essential and should be done regularly. It leaves your carpet sparkling and fresh. It is recommended that you use steam cleaning. The results of using this method are remarkable this is because all the dirt accumulated into the fibers of the carpet are removed as opposed to other cleaning methods that clean the outer surface. Apply this method after 3-5 months for best results.
5. Dishwasher detergent
This is the best method for getting rid of grease. Mix some drops of the detergent and water then put it in a spray can.Spray into the stain then using a clean cloth blot it.Repeat the process until you get the desired results.
This is best recommended when your carpet gets candle wax drips. What you should do is to get a clean dry white cloth and place it on top of the affected part then put a warm iron on top for around a minute. After this remove the iron and the cloth. Scrap off the candle wax using a knife and be careful so as not to damage the carpet.
7. Baking soda- This works in getting rid of bad smells. Use small pieces of potatoes and baking soda after spreading them on the carpet clean them up using a vacuum cleaner.
To remove glue on your carpet, wet a piece of cloth with alcohol and rub the glue.
9. Milk and cornstarch
If your carpet has some ink, mix the two to form a paste and then rub it on the ink stain. Leave it overnight then clean it the next day.
10. Lemon juice
use this to get rid of a stain after pouring some lemon juice on the stain, sprinkle salt on top and get rid of it using a wet cloth.

Courtney Love is currently on tour through the end of this month, ripping through sets featuring Hole songs that sound as fresh as they did two decades ago. And after laying relatively low for a while, she’s got a lot coming up: A new album, a book, and a whole lot of social media suggestions. On her way to the airport, Love called in to give us updates on everything happening in Loveland.
EW: What inspired this tour you’re on?
Courtney Love: I was supposed to have a single out right now. Someone promised me a unicorn and then another unicorn, and then none of the unicorns came. I’m really pretty experienced now, so when people promise me unicorns, I really want to buy them, but I’m also really quick to say, “OK, f— off if there’s no unicorn coming.” But this is a fun tour. We have a guy named Ginger who is a brilliant guitar player. He’s like a [Billy] Corgan kind of guy, in the sense that he’s very gifted and very very loud. I have two very loud guitar players, so I’m always afraid my vocals will get drowned out. I’m also going to L.A. for a few days. I’m trying out for a film and I’m trying out for an HBO show, and I have a meeting for a Showtime show.
So you’re getting back into acting?
I have a new agent for the first time in a long time, and people thought—and for a while this was true—that I wasn’t interested in acting. But now I am, and I’m pursuing it really aggressively. I might even have to move back to L.A. to pursue it. We’ll see. I mean, I’m not Liev Schreiber, and I’m not going to play MacBeth at the Public [Theater], you know?
Do you relish the idea of moving back to Los Angeles after living in New York?
I lived there for twenty-some years. I don’t know who the hot new writers are or the hot new director is. I’ve been out of the loop for a long time. But I have a proactive, great agent now, and it’s a really important thing. I lived in L.A. for most of my life, but I’ve been in New York since ’09, and people still ask me, “Are you here now?” It’s like, “Yes, I’ve been here. I’m around.” According to some site, I went out 64 times in 2012. I don’t keep track of it, but they do. That’s 64 gowns, though. That’s 64 gowns you can’t wear again.
You said you were supposed to have a single out. Will there be new music soon?
We have eight songs recorded so far. But I also did a Fall Out Boy video for the song that I sing on. That thing was expensive, too. That was like rap money. Or ‘90s money. The first one was four grand, and it was successful, so the record company started giving it up, so when I got on set I was like, “This is like 1997! It’s like a 200,000 dollar video!” 40 chicks in here destroying Fender Mustangs in the evil factory of anti-rock.
How is your book coming?
My book is coming out on Harper-Collins at Christmas. It’s 250 pages now, and we have to turn in 300 pages. But 250 pages are perfect. It needs a big edit. But it’ll be out at Christmas.
You’ve always been into social media, and you seem especially obsessed with Pinterest lately. Why is that?
How can you get in any trouble on Pinterest? It’s not just safe, I can organize my thoughts, and they’re often visual. I have a website that I have stored there, I have stuff I’m gonna buy that I’ve stored there, ideas for my fashion line, just things I think are cool, graphics, packaging, everything. I love Pinterest. But sometimes it’s addictive—it’s 5 AM, I’m not asleep, what the f— am I doing on Pinterest? I get obsessed. I hope you’re getting a lot out of it, because I’m certainly putting a lot into it.
Next year, the Hole album Live Through This will turn 20. Any anniversary plans?
No. My daughter had to tell me there’s an In Utero anniversary [edition] coming out. I don’t pay attention to that s—. That’s like record company marketing stuff, you know what I mean? I’m interested in the future, I really am. I respect the past, but not to the point that I want to sit and dwell on it.

What makes a good silage inoculant?
Mar 21, 2022
Silage inoculants are based on live bacteria which contribute to improving silage acidification and/or aerobic stability depending on the bacteria activities. The inoculant market is growing, with many different products on offer, claiming many benefits and various price ranges.
There are two main types of bacteria used in an inoculant formulation, depending on the desired outcome:
■ Homofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which convert soluble sugars from the forage into lactic acid, for example, Lactobacillus plantarum or Pediococcus pentosaceus. These bacteria are used to speedup the initial fermentation, helping to quickly reach a safer pH.
■ Heterofermentative bacteria such as Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactobacillus hilgardii which convert soluble plants sugars into lactic and other acids which have a documented antifungal activity (acetic acid or propionic acid). They are effective to improve silage aerobic stability and hence reduce the risks of aerobic spoilage after opening.
According to Professor Limin Kung, PhD, University of Delaware, “Of the heterolactic acid bacteria, only Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 has proven itself (with multiple research publications) to be an effective silage inoculant.”
However, in the same bacteria species (for example L. buchneri), each strain has its own genetic identity and commercial strains are registered with unique strain numbers (for example L. buchneri NCIMB 40788 from Lallemand Animal Nutrition). All documentation should be linked to a particular-strain number. This means that, for example, what has been published for one L. buchneri strain cannot apply to another.
All inoculant formulations are specific. Inoculants can be based on a single strain or associate different strains with complementary activities. For example, homofermentative and heterofermentative bacteria can be combined to improve both acidification and aerobic stability of low sugar, high DM and high nutrient content forages such as lucerne.
There is no rule as to what is the best combination, but the formulation should respond to specific issues related to each type of crop or silage challenge. For example, maize is prone to aerobic instability due to its high sugar and dry matter content. The best option for preservation is to use a proper strain of L. buchneri or L hilgardii documented to improve aerobic stability. On the contrary, grass silages and legumes have a lower sugar and dry matter content.
In this case, acidifying bacteria is necessary to achieve an ideal acidification. Some inoculants combine bacteria with specific enzymes that raise the fibre digestibility and release soluble sugars to enhance the lactic acid and antifungal bacteria metabolism.
Inoculant formulation should be specifically adapted to the ensiling challenge in order to ensure best silage preservation.
■ Research is key
Professor L. Kung wrote, “An effective silage inoculant will have independent, statistically analysed, and published data supporting its use. Of course, the more supporting data there is, the more credibility a product has. I will take an educated guess and say that no more than 10-15% of the silage inoculants in the marketplace have more than five publications showing that they work.”
It is important to check that there is independent published research related to the inoculant formulation and/or strain(s). Not all companies invest in continuous research and development to document their products.
Professor Kung explains, “Lactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788 has become the gold standard to improve aerobic stability, showing consistent results.”
Always check that the scientific and technical references provided with a product refer to the specific strain.
■ Production is essential
An inoculant’s efficacy relies on the biological activity of live bacteria. Thus, efficacy of the final product relies on the survival of the bacteria, from the manufacturing plant all the way through to the silage pile.
Bacteria viability depends on the strain (its intrinsic quality), as well as the quality of the production process, formulation, and finally, storage conditions including packaging. The production of live bacteria requires expertise and stringent quality controls throughout the process.
Only a few companies possess the capability to produce bacteria and deliver pure, live, stable, and consistent blend of specific bacteria suitable for silage.
Companies that produce their own bacteria and control the whole chain from bacteria fermentation to final product packaging ensure optimal quality and traceability of the product.
When choosing an inoculant, it is important to check the reputation of the primary producer, the product shelf life and the storage conditions.
■ Importance of formulation and dosage
Not only is the bacteria composition important, but also the dosage and product formulation technology. One can select the best possible bacteria strains, but if the farmer does not end up with the right number of live and active bacteria in the silage, it is useless for them.
Hence, the number and the viability of the bacteria, as well as solubility and ease of application is very important.
Once the product’s scientific documentation and technology has been checked, it is important to check the dose.
All published data are related to a recommended dose of use, which is expressed as CFU (Colony Forming Units) per gram of fresh forage treated or per gram of product.
The CFU represents the number of live and active bacteria. When comparing two products, it is important to compare the final bacteria count, as sometimes this can help explain the price difference.
For example, L. buchneri is effective at 300,000 CFU/g of fresh forage. Certain products could be misleading as giving the overall bacterial count. It is important to check the number of each individual bacteria to make sure the optimal dose is used.
Always compare dose according to final bacteria count in forage.
■ Dead bacteria are useless
Number of bacteria or CFU in the sachet is one thing, but the number of live bacteria reaching each part of the crop is another. Lallemand’s inoculants are stored as hydro dispersible powder in an aluminium foil sachet.
The bacteria are preserved in a freeze-dried form and the bacteria are revived when mixed in water for application.
However, bacteria viability after dilution is also dependent on the formulation and technology to deliver a high concentration of bacteria that remain in suspension (low sedimentation) to provide homogenous application of live bacteria throughout the silage harvest.
Look for forage inoculants with Formulation technology that helps ensure viability over time.
■ Technical support
Successful silage making can meet many challenges and requires technical knowledge.
Silage inoculants are not commodity products and to make sure the investment pays-off, ideal practices should be implemented. Providers should accompany their users with strong technical support.
Professor L. Kung wrote on this matter, “Although technical service is not directly related to the effectiveness of a silage inoculant, this should be factored into your decision-making process. Certainly, companies that are willing to assist you in times of need should be highly considered.”
Check that your provider offers expert technical services on-farm.
There are many silage inoculants on the market with different claims and specifications. Before getting bogged down in the detail, check to see that the product contains bacteria, if it doesn’t, it’s an additive of some other type and not a silage inoculant.
A better understanding of the makeup of a silage inoculant, its modes of action and specificities, help make the right decision.

Ecclestone trial set to begin
The future of Formula One is poised to be shaped by what transpires in a Munich courtroom over the next few months.
- Related Content
Bernie Ecclestone, who has ruled the sport unchallenged for almost 40 years, goes on trial on Thursday charged with bribery which could see him imprisoned for 10 years if found guilty.
At the age of 83, Ecclestone has already made tentative noises with regard to a succession plan, stating last month he has been looking over the past few years for someone to assist and then take over.
If found guilty, even if Ecclestone avoids jail time and is instead punished with a severe financial penalty, the writing is on the wall.
Donald Mackenzie, co-chairman of F1's current majority shareholders CVC Capital Partners, has already stated Ecclestone will be sacked if convicted.
It is understood CVC have tentative plans in place for the worst-case scenario, although they have yet to be revealed.
One certainty is Ecclestone's iron-like grip over the teams, circuits and media will finally be relinquished.
As the man who has thrashed out deals with all concerned, there will be those who will look to seek new terms with Ecclestone out of the picture.
As to the direction the sport takes, it boils down to just 26 days in a court that only last month jailed former Germany and Bayern Munich star Uli Hoeness for three years and six months for tax evasion.
Upon being found guilty, Hoeness was naturally forced to resign from his positions as president and board chairman of Bayern.
As far as Ecclestone is concerned, it underlines the fact no fish is too big to fry for Munich's district court.
In mid-January, Ecclestone stood down from a number of directorial positions in companies related to F1, although has continued to run the sport on a day-to-day basis.
He will continue to do so for the duration of the trial, and has been aided in that respect by the prosecutors.
The court is to sit just one day per week for the first three weeks, followed by two days per week thereafter through to the summer break in August before concluding in mid-September.
Ecclestone stands accused of bribing Gerhard Gribkowsky, formerly the chief risk officer of BayernLB, to the tune of 44million US dollars (£26million) to steer the sale to CVC.
In return, it is understood CVC agreed to retain Ecclestone as F1's chief executive, so allowing him to continue to run the sport.
Although obviously maintaining his innocence, the prosecutors have submitted a 256-page indictment against Ecclestone detailing their case.
Ecclestone claims he was being blackmailed by Gribkowsky who was threatening to divulge information to HM Revenue & Customs with regard to the octogenarian's involvement in an offshore family trust known as Bambino Holdings.

Review for Millevoi's Tire & Automotive Center
ALFRED G. on 09/02/2015
Millevoi's was more than right. I needed a check on the vehicle beyond changing the oil. I had just spent seven months at a job I hated, which caused me to drive two and a half times my weekly use. It turned out the fuel pump had broken. It's as if it had been good timing that the job had ended, and I had time to get the pump fixed.

The Remote Gambling Association (RGA) and Association of British Bookmakers (ABB) are to be wound up and replaced by the Betting and Gaming Council, a new UK-facing operator body that aims to act as the industry’s mouthpiece. British Beer & Pub Association chief executive Brigid Simmonds will lead the new body.
London-listed online bingo and casino operator JPJ Group has credited efforts to diversify its geographic footprint with helping the business report record revenue and earnings in 2018. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was up 10% year-on-year at £319.6m (€373.5m/$424.0m), the highest full-year figure since the business was formed in 2014.
Playtech has reported a 54% year-on-year increase in revenue for 2018, though growth for the year was largely down to the acquisition of Italian operator Snaitech, with the solutions giant’s B2B division struggling.

Getting Creative – Students wow the crowds with their exquisite jewellery
We are endlessly delighted by the quality and creativity of the work that Flux Students produce, and so it’s with real pleasure that we provide this annual opportunity for our students to exhibit their recent jewellery projects for Getting Creative – Exhibition of Students work for Flux Open Studios, CAF 2016.
The process of setting up and exhibition carries an additional skill set that requires reflection, and the self-editing process is an important one in being able to improve and develop your ideas. Everything becomes apparent – the quality of craftsmanship, the clarity of intent in the design, the functionality of the piece, the overall aesthetic, and if / how each piece you make relates to the last. It is in these moments that as a maker you begin to find your voice. Having opportunity to test these ideas verbally with an audience, watching how they respond to the work, and listening to what they perceive, these moments provide additional and vital formative feedback for future work. In this way, exposing your work to a critical audience is a very raw and challenging experience at first, but also this is a most valuable element of the making process if you are serious about following the creative path.
We have some serious makers in our midst… take a look, see what you think.

Irene Tweeted me about a possible Shelter-verse prompt last week, so this one’s for her! Thanks, Irene.
9/30/16 – In Dreams
Before the wedding, before they were officially moved in together, Alma launched a major home makeover. Family photos stayed, but everything else went: bedding, drapes, paint colors, knickknacks. Writing couldn’t afford her a palace, but she could afford to redo the home she’d made with Sam…turn it into the home she would share with Carlos. It helped, in so many ways. She was ready to look ahead to the future, and the house felt like a reflection of their fresh start.
She was not, she reasoned, trying to tuck Sam away on a shelf somewhere. She was choosing not to dwell. He was gone; he would want her to be happy, to pass through a room without feeling the cool shiver of his ghost. It wasn’t forgetting; it was celebrating a new love, a new marriage.
These were the things she told herself.
But logic had no footing in dreams.
The first time she forgot was three months after the wedding. In a dreamscape of tilted Gothic rooflines and storm-gray skies, she called out to Sam and slid her hand into his. But when she turned, it wasn’t Sam beside her; it was Carlos, and her mind wouldn’t supply a rendering of Sam no matter how desperately she wished for it. She couldn’t remember his face.
She couldn’t remember his face.
She woke with tears drying on her cheeks, shivering deep beneath the duvet.
“Wha…?” Carlos asked, rolling toward her.
“Nothing. Bad dream.”
He slipped his arm around her waist and started to snore against the back of her head.
It continued to happen, off and on, sometimes a soft reminder that her dead husband was slipping out of her mind; at others, visceral nightmares that jolted her awake with the taste of bile on the back of her tongue.
One night, in the deep clutch of a cold spell, Alma woke drenched with sweat beneath the covers, phantom screams still echoing inside her head, scenes of blood and bullets dancing behind her eyelids. She was shaking, sick to her stomach.
Quietly as possible, she slid out of bed and into the bathroom. Changed her sleep shirt for clean pajamas and splashed her face with cold water. She stared at her ashen, hollow-eyed reflection and she couldn’t remember.
The floorboards were cold under her bare feet as she went down the hall into the living room. In the dark, the new couch caught her in the hip and she muffled a curse behind her hand. Her destination was the entertainment center, and the little inset light switch above it. There were old photos of Sam in silver frames there, and she had to see, just had to force herself to remember…
Little Sam’s sudden wail from the nursery almost gave her a heart attack. But she shook off the burst of fear and changed courses, backtracking down the hall to the baby’s room. She flicked on the lights and in the warm glow of lamplight found Sam standing at the rail of his crib, little face screwed up, but dry and clean. She’d caught it early, this crying jag, and he calmed the second he saw her.
“What’s the matter, baby, huh?” She scooped him up with a little grunt of effort; the kid was getting heavy. “What? Did you have a bad dream too?” He was dry, and the second she started to bounce him against her hip, his head tipped forward and he relaxed, boneless in her grasp.
His weight and warmth was a comfort, so she settled into the rocker and shifted him around so he was across her lap, already nodding off again, his long baby lashes fluttering.
It had always struck her as funny. She knew she was supposed to feel the stress and pressure of motherhood – and she did, in all the practical ways – but mostly, Sam calmed her. He was her world. Her little piece of her first Sam.
Shuffling footfalls announced Carlos’s approach before he propped a shoulder in the doorway. He stifled a yawn behind his fist and it swallowed whatever he’d been about to say.
“I’m sorry,” Alma said, wincing. “I tried not to wake you up.”
“You didn’t. I heard him.” He nodded toward Sam, smile curving his mouth. It slipped, though. “You were already awake, though, huh?”
She glanced down at Sam’s peaceful face, shrugging. “Kinda.”
“It’s been happening a lot.” Not an accusation, but an observation, tinged with worry.
“I guess so.” Like an admission.
When she lifted her head, she saw the wry twist of his smile, the way his eyes shone with worry, and hurt, fully-awake now.
“No. Carlos, baby, no, no, no. Not at all.” She could have kicked herself. “It’s just…” She heaved a deep sigh. “Okay, this is gonna sound stupid. And I promise it has nothing to do with you, or us, or whether I’m happy or not. Because I am. So happy.” She was babbling. “But I’ve…I’ve been having trouble remembering…remembering Sam’s face.”
His brows drew together.
“Okay, well…” As best she could, trying not to sound like an idiot, she told him about her dreams, about her inability to recall her dead husband’s face in them. “It happens, I know it does. People…slip. You start forgetting. I just…didn’t think it would happen so soon.”
Carlos glanced down at his bare feet, the tanned toes and little raised tracks of veins across the bony tops of them. Then he came to sit on the floor beside her legs, one hand on her knee. “Do me a favor,” he said, expression soft. “Look at him.”
At Little Sam, his round cherubic face. His…Sam’s face. His father’s face.
“Oh,” she said, softly.
Carlos squeezed her knee. “He looks just like him, baby. You won’t ever forget his face; you’re gonna be looking at it forever.”
Alma put her hand over his, laced their fingers together. “We will, you mean.”

Here at Fashionista, we get tons of emails asking us how to break into the industry, as well as how to make that crucial leap from intern to employee. The best way to do it? Through networking. If you prove yourself worthy at an internship, someone will take notice. Even if that person doesn't have a job for you, he or she might recommend you to someone else.
The other way is through a staffing agency. Fashion companies really, truly use these agencies to scout talent. While putting your resume into a firm's database may feel like a waste of time, it's not: Respected agencies staff respected companies. We know plenty of people who've scored jobs through these services. Here are three of the best: Staffing by Hall 270 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016 (212) 683-3360 Clients Include: Alexander Wang, Zac Posen
Hall's a bit old-fashioned--the company doesn't even have a Web site--but the firm does recruitment for plenty of top designers, including Alexander Wang (who, we've heard from sources, needs to hire about 12 more people. But don't get too excited yet: The executive team is taking its time to ensure each new employee is right for the job.) Specifically, the agency recruits technical designers, production people, merchandisers, and buyers.
24 Seven 120 Wooster Street 4th Floor New York, NY 10012 (212) 966-4426 (Additional offices in Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San Francisco, Orange County, Seattle, and London) www.24seveninc.com Clients: Proenza Schouler, Li & Fung, Avon, Diane Von Furstenberg, American Eagle Outfitters
While Staffing by Hall tends to work with smaller staffs, 24 Seven fills jobs for big corporations, such as Li & Fung. Design jobs are available, but the team also recruits for marketing, retail, creative services (like graphic design, etc.), beauty, and home furnishing. The breadth of clients is incredible, and 24 Seven aims to find the right people for the right spots, so be honest about your interests when you meet with a rep.
Christian Bassett 79 Baker St, Suite 8, London, W1U 6RG +11 44 (0)20 7224 2662 www.christianbassett.com Clients: Louis Vuitton, Prada, Richemont, Selfridges
For those eager to build a career in Europe's luxury industry, Christian Bassett is a great starting point. Of course, since the agency caters to high-end brands, it also offers very specific services, from graphology testing--studying your handwriting to determine strengths and weaknesses--to resume advice.

I found a pattern for this in the latest Fons and Porter magazine. Whittles (one of my favorite online shops) had the panel for only $3.00. I changed one of the borders so it would not take so long to get done. It was fun to work on and a nice break from red white and blue.
5 more days until UTAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here are the pictures of the ones they are getting.
This quilt is for his wife who is excepting a baby soon.
This quilt is for his 6 year old son from his first marriage.
This quilt is for his 9 year son from his first marriage.
This quilt is for his 2 year old son.
This is for his unborn baby that is wife is carrying.
I was a young person during the Vietnam War and remember how the military was treated during that time. A very shameful period in our history. We have learned from our mistakes and are doing a much better time now. This is just my little way to help these families. I hope they wrap these quilts around themselves and feel the love.
Sunday, September 6, 2009
My wonderful HQ16 and I are a successful partnership. I tried several different brands and asked questions of many quilters. I never hear a single person say they were sorry they chose the HQ16.
I am mainly a charity quilter for our local Hospice and Quilts Of Valor. I am a prolific quilter and can do tops quite fast. Then I became bogged down in the quilting process. It took over 2 hours just to do the pinning. Then I had to wrestle a big quilt through the arm of my sewing machine. My shoulders would ache with this effort. I can load the top and have it finished in about 2 hours. This is a quilt about the size of a twin bed.
I do free motion from the front of the machine and have just the best time. It moves easily and I feel like I am painting with thread. I just finished stippling a quilt that I will use as a sample for a local Quilt Class I teach through our County. It is beautiful and may bring me into the process of quilting for others for pay. I hope to be able to do this soon to help pay for all the charity quilting and fabric buying.
My quilts have traveled to Iraq and Germany to comfort the wounded military. I am now entering into a program with a Major’s wife. I am going to be sending quilts to the families of those killed in action. We all know how much comfort a quilt can be and I want to wrap the families in love and let them know we are a grateful nation.
And here is why I love this machine-------------
I am writing to express my gratitude to you and your friend, Betty , for the beautiful, patriotic quilt you sent to the 332 EMDG (Expeditionary Medical Group) in Iraq. I want you to know how much those quilts mean to us. Yesterday evening six of our Nation's very finest soldiers were flown in by chopper after a suicide bomber attacked their foot patrol. I cared for one of those young men last night. (I'll call him Sgt C.). Sgt C is a young American soldier from Utah with a wife and two small children at home. He is one of the lucky ones. His burns and bruises will heal. His ruptured eardrum will heal. Yesterday he earned his second Purple Heart.
As is customary, the Chaplain or his assistant bring the injured troops a quilt and we cover them with it, either in the ER or on the ward. If they are alert we read them the cards from wonderful Americans like you and tell them that someone from home made that quilt for them. We save them for very special days, like yesterday; for an occasion when a touch of kindness and love from home is exactly what is needed. As I write these words my eyes fill with tears. I have watched many young soldiers receive their quilts of valor and I want you to know that it touches them deeply. It touches all of us deeply.
I couldn't read your card out loud to Sgt C because I was crying as I read it. Trying to hold back tears, I held it for him and he read it himself. I can tell you that a strong soldier fought valiantly to hold back his own tears. I don't know if he will ever write to thank you, though he says he plans to, but I wanted you to know how much your kindness means to these young troops, and to those of us who care for them. This is no exaggeration…everyone who passed by Sgt C's litter last night commented on how beautiful your quilt was. It was truly one of the most beautiful quilts we've seen.
I firmly believe that the Lord puts us where he needs us. Right now I am needed in Iraq, caring for those in harms way. I was placed with Sgt C last night to tend his wounds and was blessed to read your message and admire your quilt with him. Of all the quilts that were given last night I was especially touched by yours. You see, I have left behind a husband and four beautiful children in Damascus, MD. As I read the inscription on your quilt I was even more moved by the fact that it was from one of my Maryland neighbors. I told Sgt C that I was planning to write to you and when I return I hope that we can meet for tea and chat. I will share my pictures of Sgt C and his quilt, adorned with his Purple Heart.
Thank you, again, for your kindness and patriotism. I guarantee you truly touched the lives of many last night….through one beautiful quilt of valor. I know that Sgt C is anxious to return home and show that quilt to his family. It will always serve as a reminder to him of his victory last night and of the love we share as Americans. God bless you and God bless America!

Please Login to Remove!
I have a question not sure this is possible.
If I download a theme to my phone doing an ota, then I back my phone up with my desktop manager is there a way for me to find the file on my computer where that is backed up and save it so that I can delete the theme from my phone and go back to my own computer to send the file/theme back to my phone at a later date.
I have some favourites that I don't want to worry about losing but I want to take off my phone for now lol because I have so many on there.
Does the question make sense?
I know obviously when I get the themes via a zip file I can save those files but I'm not sure if I can retrieve it through my desktop manager.
If anyone can help me with this I'd really appreciate it.

Shares are up 43% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Tiffany as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- TIF's revenue growth trails the industry average of 23.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.37, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.08, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 101.89% to $2.28 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, TIFFANY & CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 30.19%.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 39.03% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.
- The gross profit margin for TIFFANY & CO is rather high; currently it is at 61.05%. Regardless of TIF's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, TIF's net profit margin of 9.33% compares favorably to the industry average.

Hey there! I am really interested in the development process of this site. Any key steps you guys took to dev and deploy? Is it static? Are you using some sort of framework and or generators?
Are those pants?
Is that Joust?
Hah. Glad someone recognises it.
I appreciate that.
I'd also like to know the development process here. Great site.
this might be the first major rebranding that was well received on DN.
They show different brands/apps in those device frames every time you refresh the site. Neat!!!
This is one of the best responsive sites I've ever seen. So so good.
I wish there was a resource for the devices they use for mockups. Love them.
So. Damn. Good.
And fast, too. It's crazy that even in 2016, a page load time can impress me... but here we are. Blew my hair back.
Glad you noticed! There's one or two things that could be a little bit better but, overall, it's a step in the right direction (there are no render-blocking scripts, no png/jpg, most svgs are minified and inlined, …).
Holy cow, I've never seen svgs used so extensively. Looks amazing and loads incredibly fast.
I love the colours... epic stuff
I really like Stripe websites iteration! My only gripes is it's hard to read. The typeface color is too light.
Gorgeous. Love the nav speech bubble effect, & the new look for the documentation is very slick too.
Kudos to the team! Any chance the dashboard is getting a redesign?
Great to see that the 'redesign' reaches through to the entire site. Really bugs me when companies introduce a new style but don't bother to change most of the pages deeper into their site. Well done!
Those images, icons .... hmm, killer UI
This is one of the best redesigns i've seen so far. This is webdesign 2016. I love it.
Is something broken with the "navigation" along the top (Products/Devs/Company)? It doesn't seem to do anything but looks like it should.
(On Surface Pro / Chrome)
I have the same problem. I'm on a netbook with a touchscreen. It works only with touch, no mouse.
That's surprisingly poor development / testing :(
Design and build are both so well done. Great stuff.
They always outdo themselves. So good.
Do you know if this was done in-house?
Based on the rest of their work I'd assume so. Their work is amazing (check out their Dribbble if you haven't already).
All of their designers are top-notch.
Yep, according to this tweet, it was https://twitter.com/bdc/status/778351839683063808
Yup, entirely in-house. Watched them work on it for months.

Life as we know doesn’t give what you deserve, but what you demand by making conscious efforts towards your desired expectation. After Chelsea’s game against Burnley, the outcome was below expectations as early game predictions billed us for a win. By that we would have extended our lead at the top to 12 points, but it never happened. That’s certainly an issue we must address if we are to emerge Champions by May.
The match against Burnley was the third time this year we have failed to take advantage of opportunities to extend our lead at the top. First was against Spurs at White Hart Lane. After Liverpool’s draw against Sunderland, we were primed to extend our lead to 9 points. Sadly, we were brought crashing down to earth with our backs on the ground in a painful defeat against Spurs who were revenge-thirsty after we killed their title hopes in the battle at the bridge.
Up next was our visit to one of English football most daunting and ferocious stadiums – Anfield. It was a better time to play the red half Merseyside especially as they were experiencing a dip in form and without a win as at then in the new calendar year. It ended in a stalemate after Diego Costa’s penalty miss cost us two points. In observation, we surrendered our lead just like we did against Burnley by allowing Liverpool head in an equaliser and gain foothold on the game.
Major issues that seem threatening to our title prospect are gradually surfacing. Conceding headed goals is an Achilles heel and now a trend that needs to be bucked. More worryingly is Diego Costa’s form with no goals scored in four games – which is about 329 minutes of football.
Certainly there’s always a way out and Chelsea and Conte must act fast if they don’t want to get caught up. It’s time to get the job done and cross over the finish line and be deserved winners and champions. it’s now or never! Let’s roar life into our performances. Cheers!

Warring sides agree to more negotiations as week of unsteady talks, threatened by a crumbling ceasefire, comes to close.
Geneva, Switzerland - Syria’s warring sides have agreed to future negotiations at the end of a fourth set of talks in Geneva, a mild breakthrough after a week of stalled discussions and a steadily failing ceasefire.
Staffan de Mistura, the UN envoy for Syria, announced on Friday the conclusion of the intra-Syrian talks in the Swiss city having secured a finalised agenda for another round.
He said he would invite the government and opposition negotiators to Geneva for a fifth set of discussions later in March.
"We have a clear agenda in front of us," de Mistura told reporters. "The train is ready, it is in the station … it is warming up its engine … it just needs an accelerator and the accelerator is in the hands of those in this round."
De Mistura held back-to-back meetings on Friday, first meeting with two minor opposition groups - the Moscow and Cairo platforms - and later speaking with the Syrian government delegation and the High Negotiations Committee (HNC), the central opposition umbrella group.
"It is now clear to everyone [that] we are here to implement Security Council resolution 2254, and that is beyond dispute," de Mistura said.
Resolution 2254, adopted by the council in 2015, lays the foundations for a political transition - the opposition’s central goal - based on three subjects, or "baskets": accountable governance, a new constitution and UN-supervised elections within 18 months.
But before signing on to continue negotiations, government representatives demanded that a fourth subject focused entirely on "anti-terrorism" was added to the agenda.
The opposition has previously been hesitant to add "terrorism" to the agenda over fears that the government would use it to sideline discussions on political transition.

"The agenda is reflected by the baskets," said de Mistura. "Four baskets - three plus one."
The additional subject, said de Mistura, "addresses within the context of the overall transitional political process, issues related to strategies of counterterrorism, security governance and also medium-term confidence building measures".
The first three subjects were given an implementation target date of six months, while the fourth was linked with separate Russian-led talks in Kazakhstan’s Astana, expected to take place on March 14.
Those talks, backed also by Turkey and Iran, would be in addition to the Geneva process and deal with the "maintenance of the ceasefire, immediate confidence-building measures and operational counterterrorism issues", de Mistura said.
The government and opposition are now tasked with pursuing a "framework agreement" that outlines a political transition process envisaged within the 2015 UN resolution.
The fourth Geneva talks were part of the latest political initiative to bring an end to a six-year war that has killed nearly 500,000 people, wounded more than a million, and displaced nearly half the population.
The previous round of discussions in Geneva in April was suspended after a previous ceasefire collapsed and heavy fighting resumed.
While the opposition has pointed to signs of progress during this week’s talks, and praised de Mistura for seeming more engaged in political transition than before, violence in Syria threatened to derail the discussions.
Government representatives, meanwhile, accused the opposition of taking the talks "hostage", alleging that some members of its delegation belonged to "armed terrorist groups".
De Mistura said consolidation and maintenance of the ceasefire were vital to the Geneva process, while talks in Astana would be reinforcing.
"We are very much complementary. If Astana succeeds, it means ceasefire," he said. "If a ceasefire takes place, we can have productive talks. If we don’t have productive talks, a ceasefire can’t last."
A successful truce, he said, would also "facilitate" nationwide humanitarian access and a prisoner exchange - another key opposition demand.
The UN envoy said the government delegation had put forward an "interesting suggestion [on] the concrete possibility of exchanges of detainees and abducted people … and the obvious place for doing that is Astana".
The issue of "detainees, abductees and missing people was raised and would continue to be raised", he said, referring to a meeting one week ago he had with five Syrian women - mothers, daughters and wives of prisoners, many of whom were former prisoners themselves.

Seppeltsfield Barossa Shiraz 2018
Price: Contact for price / 750ml bottle
Alcohol By Volume (ABV): 14.5%
Origin: South Barossa, Australia
Medium to full-bodied, the 2018 Barossa Shiraz displays true Barossa character of dark cherry and plum fruits, with a medium tannin profile.
Colour: Bright red with a youthful crimson hue.
Aroma: Lifted dark cherry and plum fruit with com plex brown spices.
Palate: Classic Barossa ripeness, dark fruits and dark chocolate richness. Balanced yet subtle oak, juicy acidity and polished tan -nins.
The 2018 Seppeltsfield Barossa Shiraz is our foundation-level, representing the estate’s diverse holding of vineyards that cross the region’s Western ridge, from the North to Southern grounds. Generations of grape growers have farmed this variety in the region since the 1840s - the complex combination of varying geology, geography and climate interacting to express its qualities in manner of ways, from perfumed and elegant to rich and generous.
Definitively however, Barossa Shiraz is not simply a translation of grape or grounds; it also represents a tapestry of the region’s history, culture and pioneering endeavor.
With a close eye on what the growing season has provided, Seppeltsfield’s vineyards are considered at individual block level for their suitability of our ‘village’ release. Intensive sampling is undertaken as the fruit approaches ripening maturity, to ensure optimal harvest timing.
GEOGRAPHY: 180 - 350 metres above sea level
LOCATION: Barossa, South Australia
SITES: Multiple sites including red brown earths over limestone, to sands over clay
The 2018 Barossa Shiraz was vinified through the historic 1888 Gravity Cellar. Built into the hillside on a series of terraces, gravity guides the flow of fruit down through the winery to deliver gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. The Shiraz was fermented in open fermenters and matured with moderate French oak influence.

An actor who has demonstrated a fearless capacity for exploring the darker side of human nature, Peter Sarsgaard became synonymous with the term "edgy young performer." With looks that allow him to either play soft-skinned pretty boys or greasy-haired white trash refuse, Sarsgaard has used his malleable features and brooding charisma to great effect in such films as [[Performer~P271477~Kimberly Peirce~kimberlypeirce]]'s [[Feature~V181064~Boys Don't Cry~boysdontcry]].
A graduate of St. Louis' Washington University, where he was a co-founder of the improvisational group Mama's Pot Roast, Sarsgaard studied at the Actors' Studio in New York. After he completed his studies, he was cast in the off-Broadway production of [[Performer~P24162~Horton Foote~hortonfoote]]'s Laura Dennis, and, as a member of [[Performer~P199356~Douglas Carter Beane~douglascarterbeane]]'s Drama Department, he appeared in [[Performer~P49681~John Cameron Mitchell~johncameronmitchell]]'s off-Broadway production of Kingdom of Earth.
Sarsgaard made his screen debut in [[Performer~P108437~Tim Robbins~timrobbins]]' [[Feature~V135507~Dead Man Walking~deadmanwalking]] (1995) but had his first substantial role in [[Feature~V160668~The Man in the Iron Mask~themanintheironmask]] (1998), which cast him as the ill-fated son of [[Performer~P44846~John Malkovich~johnmalkovich]]'s dueling Muskateer. He then appeared in a series of largely unseen independent features, including [[Performer~P177545~Larry Clark~larryclark]]'s [[Feature~V173453~Another Day in Paradise~anotherdayinparadise]] and [[Performer~P227841~Morgan J. Freeman~morganjfreeman]]'s [[Feature~V173468~Desert Blue~desertblue]] (both 1998). In 1999, Sarsgaard broke out of obscurity with his role in [[Performer~P271477~Kimberly Peirce~kimberlypeirce]]'s [[Feature~V181064~Boys Don't Cry~boysdontcry]]. Cast as a violent yet charismatic ex-con, the actor managed to stand out in a film saturated with strong performances, and the film's unanticipated success provided him with an introduction to a wide audience. His increased profile was reflected in the number of projects he was involved with the following year, including [[Performer~P190636~P.J. Hogan~pjhogan]]'s [[Feature~V176670~Unconditional Love~unconditionallove]], a drama about a woman ([[Performer~P4516~Kathy Bates~kathybates]]) who joins forces with the lover of a dead pop star to track down the star's murderer.
Sarsgaard reached a new level of critical acclaim with his supporting performances in two little-seen but highly praised features: 2003's journalist drama Shattered Glass and 2004's biopic Kinsey. In the former, he played dedicated, soft-spoken New Republic editor Chuck Lane, who becomes increasingly more agitated as he catches hotshot reporter Steven Glass fabricating stories. Racking up scores of Best Supporting Actor nods from critics' groups and the Golden Globes, it seemed inevitable that the Academy would recognize Sarsgaard, but he was passed over. A similar fate occurred with Kinsey, in which the actor convincingly played the curious, bisexual assistant - and occasional lover - of the sex researcher.
Though ignored by the Oscars, Sarsgaard found his profile rising with powerful casting directors, and in turn, the public. After memorably essaying the role of a stoner gravedigger in the popular 2004 indie Garden State, the actor broke through to mass audiences in 2005 with a trio supporting performances in big-budget genre films: the supernatural thriller The Skeleton Key, the blockbuster Flighplan, and the war memoir Jarhead. Bringing his distinctively low-key delivery to a range of parts that were by turns mystical, sinister and conflicted, Sarsgaard secured his place in the pantheon of great Hollywood character actors.
Saarsgard delivered solid performances in Year of the Dog and Rendition (both 2007), and co-starred with Dennis Hopper and Patricia Clarkson for the psychological drama Elegy in 2008. The following year he played the role of a man who becomes increasingly concerned about the behavior of his adoptive daughter for The Orphan, and took on the part of the much-older boyfriend of a 16-year-old girl (Carey Mulligan) for the coming of age drama An Education. Saarsgard joined Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise for a supporting role in the action comedy Knight and Day (2010), and joined the cast of The Green Lantern in 2011. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

What the OE wið dweorh charm and the Latin Ruodlieb poem have in common
In the Early Middle Ages the belief in dwarfs was widely held among the Germanic speaking peoples of northwestern Europe. The *dwerǥōswere thought of as a liminal non-human race of mountain dwelling artisans. They can be regarded as the mountainous counterparts to the forest dwelling creatures the Germanic speaking peoples called *alƀōs “elfs” (Hermann 1903 :114). In Old Icelandic literature they are sometimes called svartálfar and portrayed as the smiths of Germanic mythology and the custodians of treasures (see West 2007: 295-97). Vestiges of this belief surived into the Modern Period as evidenced by Grimm in his Deutsche Sagen (29-44), Deutsche Hausmärchen (e.g. 161 Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot) and Deutsche Mythologie (XVII Wichte und Elbe). Although non-scholarly conceptions of dwarfs are often coloured by romantic Tolkienesque visions of smallish folk integral to fantastic societies, we should not forget that to medieval contemporaries the “dwarf” mainly constituted the alien other; the heathen, the foreigner. They possessed knowledge far beyond the wit of man and, if offended, they could curse mankind with horrible diseases.
In the capacity of “bringer of harm” we find dwarfs mentioned in Anglo-Saxon charms that aim to alleviate dwarf induced illnesses. Consider this charm, to be found in Ha. (Harley) 585 (167a), a Northumbrian manuscript of the late eleventh century. It consists of an introduction, followed by the charm itself (see Grendon 1909 for an edition and translation).
Introduction lines 1-8
Man sceal niman VII lȳtle oflǣtan, swylce man mid ofrað, and writtan þās naman on ǣlcre oflǣtan: Maxianus, Machus, Johannes, Martinianus, Dionisius, Constantinus, Serafion. Þænne eft þæt galdor þæt hēr æfter cweð. Man scal singan, ǣrest on þæt wynstre ēare, þænne on þæt swīðre ēare, þænne ufan þæs mannes moldan. And gā þænne ān mǣdenman tō, and hō hit on his swēoran and dō man swā þrȳ dagas: him bið sōna sēl.
AGAINST A DWARF
You must take seven little wafers, such as are used in worship and write these names on each wafer: Maximianus, Malchus, Johannes, Martinianus, Dionisus, Constantinus, Serafion. Then again, you must sing the charm which is stated below, first into the left ear, then into the right ear, then over the man’s head. And then let a virgin go to him and hang it on his neck, and do this for three days. He will soon be well.
In this introduction syncretic directions are given for an apotropaeic healing ceremony. The first direction involves inscribing sacramental wafers with the names of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus (a Christian myth), an instruction seemingly unconnected to the following directions. The following directions on the other hand do not have any connection to institutionalized forms of christianity. They state how the charm is to be chanted and what is to be done afterwards. The introduction ends with the instruction that the written charm should be presented to the afflicted by a virgin. The fact that a written version of the charm plays a role in the ceremony, attests to the power attributed to the written word in late Anglo-Saxon society.
Enchantment lines 9-21
Hēr cōm in gangan, in spīder wiht,
Hæfde him his haman on handa.
Cwæð þæt þū his hængest wǣre.
Legeþ hē his tēage an swēoran.
Ongunnan him of þǣm lande līþan.
Sōna swā hȳ of þǣm lande cōman,
Þā ongunnan him þā cōlian.
Þā cōm ingangan dēores sweostar.
Þā geændade hēo and āðas swōr:
Ðæt nǣfre þis þǣm ādlegan derian ne mōste,
Ne þǣm þe þis galdor begyten mihte,
Oððe þe þis galdor ongalan cūþe.
Came right in here, the creature on a spider
Had his harness in hand.
Said that you would be his stallion.
He put his rein on your neck.
Immediately when they began to go to him
they began to cool him.
Then came in, the sister of the creature.
She ended it and swore oaths.
That he should never harm the sick.
Nor whomever who should learn this charm,
Or who could sing this charm.
Amen, may it be done.
The incantation introduces the dwarf riding on a spider, who maliciously intents to ride his victim by use of magical reins. After the reins have been put on the victim’s neck, the dwarf and the spider leave, which induces a fever, described in the OE text as cōlian “to cool”, presumably because of the identical symptoms (shivering, chattering of teeth). Then the sister of the dwarf arrives, probably the entity whose intercession is invoked. She ends the agony and swears oaths as to guarantee the safety of the victim, thereby protecting the victim from further harm. The charm ends with a christian amen and fiat.
What struck me in this charm was the role of the female dwarf, who apparently restrains her brother in his malevolent deeds and vowes for the victim’s safety. This reminded me of another female dwarf, the spouse of the dwarf caught by the eleventh century hero Ruodlieb.
The Ruodlieb poem is an early Medieval Latin epic poem which was written halfway the eleventh century (1060-1070 CE) by a monk at Tegernsee (present day southern Germany, near to the border with Liechtenstein) in the style of the Latin epic (specifically Prudentius Symmachus). It consists of 2300 extant verses written in dactylic hexameter with leonine rhymes (the last syllable of each verse rhymes with the first syllable of the third foot of the verse). It recounts the adventures of a warrior (miles) named Ruodlieb who serves a just king (rex maior) and displays chivalrous virtues like obedience and righteousness. The poem is often regarded as the first coutly romance of western literature, marking the new era of courtly novels known from the Arthurian cycle and Middle High German poems such as Der Arme Heinrich.
In fragment XVIII (Clm. 19486 fol. 34a) of the poem (XVII in Schmeller’s edition) Ruodlieb captures a dwarf who promises council in defeating two kings, Immunch and Hartunch, claiming their treasure and carrying off their daughter, a beautiful virgin called Heriburg. When the dwarf is confronted with Ruodlieb’s suspicion he offers his wife, a pretty female dwarf (parva nimis pulchra), as security that he will hold true to his word. He calls his wife from a nearby cave and the dwarf woman prostrates herself in front of Ruodlieb and begs to be his hostage untill her husband has accomplished everything he had promised. Then the fragment breaks off.
Fragment VIII Ruodlieb and the Dwarf
He leapt up and wanted to get away,
untill he fell exhausted and barely caught his breath.
When strength returned to him, to Ruodlieb he most humbly spoke:
“spare my wretched self, I tell you what I know you want.
If you do not kill me and if you free my hands,
I’ll show you the hoard of two kings,
Son and father, who will go to battle with you
The father’s name is Immunch, and the son Hartunch,
By you they will be defeated, both will die by your doing.
Then the king’s daughter – the sole remaining heir
Of the entire realm, Heriburg, the most beautiful virgin,
Is to be won by you, but not without great bloodshed,
Unless you do what I advise, when I have been freed.”
Ruodlieb said to the dwarf: “you will not be killed by me.
I would have freed you quickly, if I could have trusted you;
If you do not cheat me, you will return unharmed from me.
When you are free, you will tell me nothing.”
“May it not occur that ever between us (dwarfs?) this deceit prevails:
Then we should neither be of great age nor of good health.
Among you humans no one speaks, unless with a cunning heart;
Therefore you will not come to great age. (like we dwarfs)
In accordance with the faith of each one are the times of his life.
We only speak the way we hold it in our heart,
Nor do we eat various foods that entail diseases,
That’s why we will remain sound longer than you.
Do not distrust me, I will act in such a way that you may believe me.
If you do not trust me, my wife will be a hostage.”
He called her from the cave, she immediately came forth from it,
Small but beautiful nonetheless, and adorned with gold and clothing,
She fell before Ruodlieb’s feet pouring laments:
“Best of all men, loosen the bonds of my husband
Hold me for him, untill he has accomplished all!”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Before turning to the contents of the poem, a few remarks on the language are warranted. The Ruodlieb poem is quite unconventional for a Medieval Latin poem in language, form and content (Kartschoke 1990: 232) and a vernacular origin has often been assumed. This argument is strengthened by the fact the personal names are not latinized (in contrast to the latinized personal names in the Waltharius lied), the latinized vernacular fish names that are listed in fragment X (XIII of Schmeller’s edition), the vernacular glosses in the manuscript (this is noteworthy for the manuscript is taken to be an autograph, see Ford 1965: 3) and the OHG words in the wedding vow, which is worth quoting in full.
||Dixit: dic illi de me de corde fideli
||She said: say to him from my faithful heart
||Tantundem liebes, quantum veniat modo loubes
||Just as much liebes (love) may come to him, as there is loubes (foliage)
||Et volucrum wunna quot sunt, sibi dic mea minna
||Just as much birds have wunna (joy), say to him, (just as great) is my minna (affection)
||Graminis et florum quantum sit, dic et honorum
||As much there is grass and flowers, say (as great) is (my) honour
The vernacular words in this fragment suggest an original alliterating diction in the OHG vernacular with liebes “love” as the first stressed foot of the first stanza, and loubes “foliage” of the second stanza. Also line 6-9 may allude to a vernacular origin for they call to mind lines 3-5 of the Hildebrandslied (Hiltibrant enti Hađubrant, untar heriun tuem, sunufatarungo, iro saro rihtun, Braune Ebbinghaus 1962: 84). In the two poems we both find the alliterating names of the kinsmen, i.e. Immunch, Hartunch and Heriburg. Even more interesting, we find a latin equivalent (line 7 et patris et nati) of the OHG formula sunufatarungo. We may speculate that the original vernacular lines may have ressembled the following:
ih zeigu dir, zweio chuningo hort,
daz Immunch heizzi der vater, sunu Hartunch.
To my mind it seems reasonable to assume that at least this part of the Ruodlieb poem constitutes a Latinate rendering of a vernacular poem. Whether Schmeller was right in identifying the Ruodlieb of the poem with künge Ruotliebe of the MHG Ecken Liet (who is associated with the Germanic heroic age) is open to discussion (Grimm et Schmeller 1838: 220).
A thing of interest in the Ruodlieb poem is the mutual mistrust displayed by Ruodlieb and his captive. Ruodlieb expresses his suspicion by making the release of the dwarf conditional to the dwarf holding true to his word (line 17 Si me non fallis, a me sanus remeabis). The dwarf retorts by claiming Ruodlieb’s mistrust is unjustified, deceit being a human characteristic, whereas dwarfs speak as “they hold it in their heart” (line 24 corde tenemus). It is hinted at by the dwarf that part of human mistrust originates in human envy towards the greater lifespan of dwarfs. The dwarf however attributes the shorter lifespan of humans to their insalubrious diet (line 25 neve cibos varios edimus morbos generantes). The reciprocal relationship between the hero and the dwarf in the Ruodlieb poem is characteristic of the business between humans and dwarfs in general (see Grimm 1875: 377-78) for human philanthropy is always rewarded with dwarvish generosity (Hermann 1903: 117).
Note that the role of the dwarf woman is identical to the role of the Anglo-Saxon deores sweostar (sister of the creature, i.e. the dwarf’s sister) in that they serve as security against dwarvish maliciousness and deceit. To Early Medieval contemporaries the female hostage acting as security against masculine violence and retribution was a common literary theme sprung forth from contemporary custom. On a more anthropological level this feminine apotropaeism may be compared to similar invocations of feminine entities such as Frau Holle and Frau Perhta of German folklore. These female deities were associated with duties generally attributed to the female gender, such as parturition, weaving, cleaning, but also healing and medicine (see Motz 1993: 124-30).
In this post I have compared two eleventh century texts in regards to their portrayal of those creatures of Germanic mythology that are commonly called “dwarfs”. These two texts may very well be the oldest evidence for the belief in these creatures and both texts attribute a pivotal role to a female dwarf who is supposed to act as security against the possible malicious intentions of her male partner. The one text is an Old English charm against dwarf inflicted illness, the other text is a fragment from the Latin Ruodlieb epic, an East-Frankish epic that originally may have reflected parts of an older vernacular epic. Both texts shed light on what constituted the “dwarf” in Early Medieval folk belief and may contribute to our understanding of dwarfs in prechristian times, without resorting to late medieval Scandinavian sources.
Thanks to Bas Clerkx and Godelinde Perk for commenting on a earlier version of this article.
The etymology of PGmc. *dwerǥa– is controversial. A connection to PIE *dhreugh– seems unlikely because of the unwarranted Schwebeablaut. Note that a zero-grade to the root is attested in OIc. dyrgja “female dwarf” < PGmc. *durgjō. Liberman (46-47) assumes that we are dealing with the rhotacized form of a PGmc. root *dwezǥ-, which would be a Verner variant to PGmc. *dwes- as attested in OE gedwǣsnes “dementia”. The Gmc. material allows to reconstruct the ablaut variants *dwē1s- and *dwas- (cf. MDu gedwas “foolishness” if this word has not been subjected to secondary shortening), so the postulation of an e-grade and the velar extension would be without Gmc. parallels. I am tempted to adhere to an old etymology, namely going back to PIE *dhṷer- “to harm” (cf. Skt. dvarás- “demon” ← Skt. dvárati “to harm”) with an old athematic diminutive suffix. In connection to this negative epithet it seems relevant that the dwarfs are often called by more neutral names, i.e. OIc. svartalfar and in Grimm’s work Bergmännlein, das stille Volk, das kleine Volk.
Attesting to the popularity of the myth in the Early Medieval West are the insertions of the myth into the Historia Langobardorum by Paulus Diaconus in the 8th century and even earlier Gregory of Tours in his Passio Sanctorum martyrum septem dormientium apud Ephesum which dates to the second half of the 6th century.
Mythical creatures riding humans were generally blamed for causing diseases in humans. The most famous of these creatures is no doubt the “nightmare” (OE mare, OHG mara), a female elf-like creature (cp. ModG. Alptraum) who torments men in their sleep by sitting on their chest, thus pushing the air out of their lungs.
In this regard, also consider ModDu jicht “gout” < PGmc. *jekti (cf. MidE isykle “icicle” < PGmc. *īs-jekila-) and ModDu koorts “fever” Pre-Du *kurts- < PGmc. *kruts- (cf. Goth. kriustan “to chatter with the teeth”, see also De Vaan 2010) and OS hrido “fever” (cf. OHG ridōn “to shiver”). That we are dealing with an affliction involving fever is corroborated by another wið dweorg charm (E 11, Cotton Vitellius C iii, 46a) which states that the dwarf may arrive by day or by night and that the cure might at first intensify the attack (the fever) before it abbates (Grendon 1909: 212-13).
Lat. miles is often translated as knight, but considering the fact that in the eleventh century East Frankish empire a hereditary feudal nobility was not yet institutionalized, I deem the term anachronistic and prefer a more neutral “warrior”.
Note that this cannot be taken as an unambiguous reference to the size of dwarfs, for it concerns a woman. In OIc. literature dwarfs are not characterized as being unusually small (see Simek 2006: 92)
Latin text as found in Schmeller´s edition of the manuscript (Grimm et Schmeller 1838: 196):
Exiliens et abire volens salit undique clamans,
Dum lassus cecidit vix spiramenque recepit.
Cui vigor ut rediit, ad Ruodlieb humillime dixit:
«Parce mihi misero, scio quod gratum tibi dico.
Si me non occideris atque manus mihi solves,
Monstro tibi censum binorum denique regum,
Et patris et nati, qui tecum preliaturi
– Nomen habet genitor Immunch, sed filius Hartunch –
A te vincuntur, ambo per te perimentur.
Filia sed regis – heres tunc sola superstes
Regni totius, Heriburg, pulcherrima virgo –
Est tibi lucranda, sed non sine sanguine magno,
Ni quod consiliar facias, ego quando resolvar.»
Ruodlieb ait nano: «non occidendus es a me.
Te cito solvissem, tibi si confidere possem;
Si me non fallis, a me sanus remeabis.
Quando potens fueris tuimet, nil post mihi dices.»
«Absit, ut inter nos umquam regnaverit hec fraus:
Non tam longevi tunc essemus neque sani.
Inter vos nemo loquitur, nisi corde doloso;
Hinc nec ad etatem maturam pervenietis.
Pro cuiusque fide sunt eius tempora vite.
Non aliter loquimur, nisi sicut corde tenemus,
Neve cibos varios edimus morbos generantes,
Longius incolomes hinc nos durabimus ac vos.
Non mihi diffidas, faciam, mihi quod bene credas.
Si mihi diffidas, mea coniunx sit tamen obses.»
Hanc vocat ex antro, que mox processerat illo,
Parva nimis pulchra, sed et auro vesteque compta.
Que ruit ante pedes Ruodlieb fundendo querelas:
«Optime cunctorum, vinclis mihi solve maritum
Meque tene pro se, donec persolverit omne!»
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I’m upright and marginally awake after possibly the worst bout of insomnia I’ve had in months. I went to bed at 10:30PM – tired and presumably relaxed – read some history for a few minutes and then turned out the light. I should’ve known something was up… the skies were an unusual and heavy orangey-grey and everything about the atmosphere felt as though you were in for either a fire evacuation or an alien abduction. (One of those is more likely than the other, wouldn’t you say?) I didn’t close the drapes because it wouldn’t have mattered; I knew that sky was still there, its fingers in the cracks between fabric panels, teasing me with its ominous presence.
If that sounds a bit overly dramatic, it is, kind of. When you’ve spent hours trying to stitch together a series of lucid naps into a night of sleep (without noticeably hitting REM at all) you think up these sorts of weird nightmare ingredients to your situation. At least I do and I don’t want to- they just happen. This is why I didn’t bother to try sleeping on the couch- the big oppressive sky would’ve been there too. The window in the living room is massive. At one point I did brave the spooky shadows in the flat for some toast and juice distraction at… at… crap. I don’t remember what time.
The snack did not break the spell I was under. Finally, I found myself peering at the clock at 8:30AM and thinking that the last time I looked at its numbers was 4:34AM. This would have to do. By 9AM I was up. Here I am now, trying to shake off the bad experiences of the night. The kettle has been boiled. I have one meeting today and that’s my only obligation. Fortunately, it’s one I want to keep or else I’d reschedule. Pardon my eyebags, dahling – you wouldn’t believe the night I’ve had.
The title of this post was originally referring to summer. Now it refers to sleep. In a way they’re similar: summer has made a sporadic and unpredictable appearance throughout these past few months (Is it just Britain, or the rest of the world too?) and the sleep I needed gifted me with irregular intervals of pseudo-unconsciousness between new sets of numbers on the bedside clock.
Sleep and summer. Summer and sleep. Both a bit of a letdown this morning.
I should note that I feel pretty good spirit-wise today, despite the overall tone that may be interpreted from the above post. I’m just tired.

ICO Analysis: Elementh
Elementh has generated considerable buzz in the investment community as it embarks on an ambitious project of re-shaping the global e-commerce market. The company is using blockchain technology to develop an e-commerce platform that registers product ownership across thousands of categories.
According to the company’s official website, Elementh provides the e-commerce market “with real-time and historical data on stock inventory and price,” while also providing centralized and decentralized applications on the blockchain. Basically, the platform uses machine learning to classify products across the e-commerce market. In doing so, it products the infrastructure for delivering features like product ownership and product tracking. The decentralized nature of the blockchain allows customers to find the best deals and sellers to conduct business far more efficiently than ever before.
Interestingly, Elementh traces its history all the way back to 2012 when Russian founders Sergey Ryabov and Dmitriy Bereznitskiy set up a company called Miiix. Over the next three years, the founders would develop a massive database that included tens of millions of stock keeping units (SKU) for some 30,000 products. It was only then that they decided to transition to open-source blockchain by founding Elementh.
Under the banner of blockchain, Elementh intends to create a simpler, more efficient e-commerce market. The founders spelled out their vision in their whitepaper:
“[Elementh seeks] to create a standard system, available for use by the entire e-commerce market in both B2C and B2B sectors. To combine all prices for all goods in one place. To create the unified product classification standard and a platform allowing for quick setup and scaling of e-commerce projects.”
The Elementh blockchain will develop an ERC-20 token that will be utilized across the entire network. The token, which will trade under the symbol EEE, is currently available through a pre-fund program that will run through Mar. 31. The pre-fund bonus for EEE is 30% at a price per coin of 0.0002 ETH.
Elementh will launch its public crowdsale on Apr. 1 at a price per coin of 0.0002 ETH (the whitepaper indicates that purchases are also available through bitcoin). The 30% bonus will apply to day one of the ICO, followed by a 15% bonus on day two. The ICO serves as the initial token distribution for the project.
Users of EEE tokens are as diverse as the e-commerce ecosystem itself. The whitepaper identifies the following participants as the main drivers of the e-commerce market: online marketplaces and stores, suppliers, market research companies, customers, manufacturers, distributors and payment services. According to the whitepaper, more than 70% of tokens will belong to network participants.
Elementh has retained a core team of 17 employees with backgrounds in e-commerce, software development and data science. In addition to Ryabov and Bereznitskiy, who serve as CEO and CTO respectively, the company’s third co-founder is Vitaliy Mengeshev. Like his colleagues, Mengeshev comes from the Miiix project. The three leaders have a combined 47 years of experience in business and e-commerce.
The whitepaper also lists four advisers with expertise in business and information technology.
When it comes to e-commerce and data solutions, Elementh is top notch. However, there appears to be considerably less blockchain expertise on hand. This makes sense given that Elementh emerged from the Miiix project. Based on the whitepaper, the only blockchain domain expert on the project is Sergey Morozov.
Very few ICOs have generated as much excitement and positive feedback as Elementh. Most people familiar with the project are extremely excited about its potential. Its Telegram community recently crossed 27,000 members.
Investors looking for a powerful business concept in ICO form have a lot to be enthusiastic about when it comes to Elementh. This isn’t just some company cashing in on the crypto craze; it has spent years developing its database and product and is now ready to flex its muscles.
- The Elementh team is rock solid, but we have to take away one point for the lack of blockchain expertise at the top or in the advisory group. We are only removing one point because the team is transferring its business model (where it is a domain expert) to the blockchain. In other words, Elementh is not just a crypto startup company beginning from scratch. -1
- Elementh isn’t the only blockchain project focused on e-commerce. There are several competing projects that offer e-commerce platforms on a global scale or to targeted niche markets. The company has identified several of these potential competitors, including VeChain, INS and Connectius. Other e-commerce ICOs include Omnitude, Teky and BitBoost. The project faces competitive risks from outside the blockchain industry as well. For example, e-commerce giant Amazon is already investing in blockchain through its partner ecosystem. Suffice it to say, Amazon has a huge competitive advantage in this space. -3
- Although the whitepaper has identified a roadmap, the content lacks financials and provides only a high level overview of the company’s income-generating activities. At present, we are looking at a fairly lengthy technology development life cycle through March 2019, when the master nodes will be implemented. -2
- The e-commerce market has been thriving for more than two decades. While traditionally focused on business-to-consumer transactions, the business-to-business segment has grown significantly. Combined, B2B and B2C business is a $10 trillion market. Given that the vast majority of buyers perform some form of online research before purchase, Elementh can fill an important function by providing greater transparency and more efficiency in searching and comparing products. As the company states in the whitepaper, the entire e-commerce industry is potentially its target market. This means huge opportunities for growth. +4
- Unlike other ICOs, this project has moved far beyond the concept phase and is now in product development and testing. Case in point: Elementh has already released its MVP, which includes a database with over 1 million goods. +5
- Elementh is a great example of a project using blockchain to solve real-world problems. The backstory behind Miiix and how it led to the current project strengthens the value proposition even more. We should also point out that each co-founder had a hand in building Miiix, so there are strong synergies at the top, as well as a shared understanding of the challenges facing e-commerce. +2
- The technology behind Elementh allows for a unified e-commerce platform that provides financial applications as well as consumer/buyer protections such as identifying counterfeit goods. The platform is literally being built to provide end-to-end e-commerce services; everything from decentralized market places to geo-location services and up to bank storing. +2
When it comes to e-commerce projects, Elementh is near the top of the list in terms of product development, use cases and team dynamics. That being said, it is entering into a highly competitive environment filled with established e-commerce businesses and burgeoning startups. Against this backdrop, we’ve assigned a final score of 7 out of 10.

Student burnout is at an all-time high. Mixed-format classes have made it harder for students to learn material. Soaring mental health issues and poor outlooks for the future are hampering motivation and work ethic.
With this in mind, Miami University has developed new methods to protect students’ GPAs and ensure academic success.
The divisions of Student Life, Academic Affairs and Enrollment Management and Student Success (EMSS) have teamed up to implement several strategies to prevent students from reaching these standings.
During the fall semester, more than 650 students were placed on academic warning – earning less than a 2.0 GPA and having less than 16 credit hours. About 480 students were placed on academic probation – earning less than a 2.0 GPA and having more than 16 credit hours.
Both of these were only marginal increases when compared to fall 2019, a non-COVID semester.
Despite the pandemic’s toll, students put on academic suspension slightly decreased this past fall.
Duane Drake, director of operations for EMSS, said the number of students who receive 0.0 GPAs has stayed about the same as well.
“This past fall, we had 48 continuing students and 10 new students that got 0.0s,” Drake said. “Over the past several years it’s gone up or down, but in that same range.”
Brenk Shock, vice president of EMSS, said Miami has implemented initiatives that work with students from the very beginning of the semester to curb grade issues from arising later on.
“As a university, we are getting much better at proactively identifying and working with students who might be in trouble early on,” Shock said. “All three divisions work in concert together to lift up and build up student success across the university.”
One initiative the divisions piloted this fall is an early alerts program that works with professors to identify struggling students early on in the semester. In the first two weeks, professors are asked to identify if students are attending class, have access to course materials and are engaged in the class.
In the fifth week, professors are asked again to indicate if they’re concerned about any students, as well as whether any students may need to consider withdrawing from the course.

The students identified by their professors are given the option to drop the course and enroll in a sprints and reserve course instead. These courses count toward the Miami Global Plan and degree requirements and can be started in the middle of the semester.
Amy Bergerson, associate provost and dean of undergraduate education, said the university has seen great results from the program so far.
“The students who took advantage of that option … were [enrolled] at a much higher rate this spring semester and also had higher GPAs than students who didn’t take the option,” Bergerson said.
The offices also look at midterm grade reports and reach out to students who are failing two or more courses.
“We do proactive outreach to every single one of those students,” Bergerson said. “Academic advisors, the Student Success Center, and Rinella are all calling, texting, emailing these students and trying to figure out what’s happening and offering them various kinds of support to try to pick things up for the rest of the semester.”
Christina Carruba-Whetstine, director of the Rinella Learning Center, said the number of students who are reached out to after midterms is high, but the majority are able to recover by the end of the semester.
“The number of people that end up in [academic] warning or probation is really just a fraction of those who are not doing well at midterms,” Carruba-Whetstine said.
Carruba-Whetstine attributed the high recovery rate to the extensive outreach done to connect students to the right resources, such as tutoring, counseling services or the new sprints and reserve initiative.
If students do end up with an academic warning, they receive a detailed email from the university explaining what the status means and what steps they should take to return to good standing. They are also invited to meet with an academic advisor.
Students who end up on academic probation are automatically registered for a study strategies course.
“It is a very invasive [process],” Carruba-Whetstine said. “We’re on top of it saying, ‘We think that this is important and valuable and want you to engage with us.’”
Carruba-Whetstine said that while there are many factors that may result in students receiving low GPAs, mental health is the one most cited.
“[Sometimes students] get into a hole and don’t know emotionally how to get out of it,” Carrubba-Whetstine said. “They also, a lot of times, stop talking to their parents about how they were doing in school and just kind of check out.”
Another common trend involves students choosing a major without enough information.
“They think they know what it is, but then they get into it and they’re like, ‘No, this isn’t what I thought it was going to be at all,’” Carruba-Whetstine said.
Carruba-Whetstine said she often sees this with students going into engineering because they like building things, but don’t realize the amount of high-level math involved.
“I see that also with a lot of students who say they want to go into pre-med because they want to help people,” Carruba-Whetstine said. “There are lots of ways of helping people, not just surgically or medically.”
The effects of the pandemic on high school preparation has impacted student performance in college as well.
“School wasn’t the same for their last year and a half,” Carruba-Whetstine said. “What was expected of them in high school wrapping things up was not preparing them necessarily well for a lot of … high stakes kinds of exams.”
Bergerson said the shift from high school to college can be difficult for anyone, even before the pandemic.
Sometimes, Bergerson added, all it takes is missing one assignment, possibly due to being sick or not knowing how to do it, for a student’s workload to spiral out of control.
“Sometimes it’s just that one thing that triggers this crazy avalanche,” Bererson said, “and that’s really what we’re trying to look for in those early preventions is people who have signals that that might be happening.”

Indeed, Web pages have evolved into Web apps, to the point where we can do much of our productivity work in a browser window without ever having to invest in traditional desktop software.
But how much work can you really do from a browser? Could you replace all of your desktop apps with Chrome extensions, and be none the worse for wear? After testing a bunch of Chrome apps, I found mixed results: Web apps simply aren’t designed to be complete replicas of their desktop counterparts. Although these apps have gotten a lot better in the past couple of years, you might encounter a few peccadilloes, and desktop software may still be the better choice for your unique needs.
That said, if you haven’t been keeping a close watch on the growing power of Chrome extensions and Web apps, you might be pleasantly surprised by our top alternatives to popular desktop software.
Word processing: Google Drive Documents
No matter what you do for a living, you’ve probably spent some time using a word processor in the past week, probably even in the past 24 hours. Unless you’re doing some very complicated work, you could ditch your word processor for Google Drive right now without missing a beat. Sure, the interface is different: You’ll find no Ribbon of commands and functions at the top of the screen, and you’ll see far fewer buttons. But Google Drive’s Documents let you do all of the important things, such as format text, create titles and lists, embed images into your documents, and more.
If you often find yourself emailing Word files back and forth, Google Drive might be even better than its desktop counterparts: You can just invite another person to view your document, and you can both edit the document at the same time, watching each other’s cursors at work. Add Skype to the mix, and it’s just like working in the same room, even if the other person is a continent away.

Last night I attended a multi-part event at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, with the theme “Defending Israel and International Law”:
It was, first, a book launch, as NGO-Monitor introduced its new book, “The Goldstone Report ‘Reconsidered’ — A Critical Analysis.”
Professor Gerald Steinberg — NGO-Monitor Director and co-editor, with Anne Herzberg, of the book — explained the genesis of this work, which has been three years in the making.
As it was also a panel discussion, the experts gathered provided additional information regarding the situation that Israel regularly confronts with regard to international law — the situation that made the writing of this book so very important.
The war in Gaza known as Cast Lead was initiated by Israel at the very end of 2008, and ran into the first weeks of 2009. It was a necessary response to the barrage of rockets — each a human rights violation if not a war crime in and of itself — being launched by Hamas against Israeli civilians.
As Major General Avichai Mandelblit, outgoing Military Advocate General of the IDF, explained, in this war Israel confronted asymmetric warfare. This does not mean that one side was more powerful or better equipped than the other. Rather, it means that one side played by the rules of international law and the other did not. This places the law-abiding side, in this instance Israel, in a very difficult if not impossible situation.
Hamas put civilians in the way of military targets. Either the IDF refrains from firing at the targets, or fires and runs the risk of also hitting civilians. Hamas is likely to come out a winner whatever Israel does.
If Israel does fire, accusations are then leveled against Israel: Israel is aiming at civilians and is guilty of war crimes! Israel deliberately hit a UN school that had students inside! Says General Mandelblit, a war can be lost this way, whatever victories are achieved in the field. For, today fighting a war has to include the legal and media fronts as well as the military and the political.
Because of experiences in the past with regard to this sort of thing, the situation was anticipated. And so, the general, in consultation with appropriate persons within the government, made the decision that every single incident during Cast Lead in which an accusation against Israel was made had to be checked.
Said General Mandelblit last night, “This was first for ourselves, to be sure we are what we claim to be.” Please mark this well, as it’s a point of enormous pride and should be understood by all.
And then, of course, it’s a matter of defense with regard to the legal and media fronts. The investigations prepared Israel to fight the accusations.
After the war, the notoriously anti-Israel UN Human Rights Council mandated a mission to investigate the charges against Israel; South African Justice Richard Goldstone accepted the role as head of this mission. After an “investigation” was held, a major report was released under the aegis of the Human Rights Council.
In a word, it was horrendous. Politicizing international law, the report accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians, while it made no charges of war crimes against Hamas. Often there was not even an attempt to verify or document charges against Israel made in large part by hostile NGOs.
Professor Avi Bell, who was a member of the panel last night and is a contributor to the book, said that this report infuriates him as a Jew and an Israel. But also as a professor of law. The evidence it presented was turned upside down and great damage was done to the rule of justice.
Professor Bell said he is asked what Israel might do to forestall such situations as this in the future.
His answer: Nothing. When you look at the institution that mandated the report and those who headed and participated in its mission, that becomes clear.
Professor Steinberg pointed out that Goldstone had prior connections with Kenneth Roth, who heads the NGO Human Rights Watch.
(The founder of Human Rights Watch, Robert L. Bernstein, no longer with the agency, went public in 2009, in the NY Times, with his criticism of what HRW under Roth had become: “with increasing frequency, [HRW] casts aside its important distinction between open and closed societies… The region is populated by authoritarian regimes with appalling human rights records. Yet in recent years Human Rights Watch has written far more condemnations of Israel for violations of international law than of any other country in the region.”)
In addition, members of the commission, before they were appointed, had signed a letter spearheaded by Amnesty International accusing Israel of war crimes; their bias was apparent but did not disqualify them.
The government of Israel, understanding that no justice would derive from the Goldstone investigation, officially declined to participate. However, NGO-Monitor did submit information, all of which was ignored.
Richard Goldstone, in a Washington Post op-ed in April of this year, was said to have submitted a “retraction,” but it was highly qualified. What is more, his excuse for why there were inaccuracies was disingenuous: he claimed that the report erred in some measure because Israel had not provided necessary information. But, as mentioned above, there was information provided that was completely ignored.
The members of the Goldstone Commission — Christine Chenkin, Desmond Travers, and Hina Jilani — totally disassociated themselves from the Goldstone op-ed and declared that no changes in the report could be made.
The UN did not retract the report or any part of it. It stands on the record.
Thus is the NGO-Monitor book — which examines the process of the Goldstone investigation and provides a step-by-step rebuttal — so important. It is now part of the historical record and will be placed in law libraries for reference. Professor Steinberg speaks about restoring morality to human rights activism. He advocates speaking truth to power.
See here for more information on the book including a list of its contributors, their subjects, and how it can be ordered:
Also a member of the panel last night was Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and a contributor to the book.
I have saved mention of him for last because he played two roles during the evening, as he was also the recipient of the Begin Award of Honor for his work on behalf of Israel. He actually spoke twice — and about various matters (such as his recollections of Menachem Begin’s strong defense of human rights) and not just about the Goldstone report.
A staunch defender of human rights himself during the course of his career as an attorney, he shared several observations. Some I will write about here, others I hope to return to at another time.
The issue of human rights, he said, is used as a weapon against democracies that adhere to human rights. And the biggest censors of free speech are on the left.
He expressed particular scorn for the International Court of Justice, which dispenses nothing resembling justice.
(The Court is the primary judicial organ of the UN, and its judges are elected by the Security Council and the General Assembly. It is supposed to settle legal disputes between states and provide advisory opinions on various questions.)
The Justices, said Professor Dershowitz, make decisions in accordance with the foreign policy of their respective nations. This is so blatant that the way a particular judge will rule can be predicted by considering the stance of the country he comes from.
(Some seven years ago, the Court provided an advisory opinion on the matter of the Security Fence built by Israel to keep out terrorists, calling it a violation of international law. This despite the fact that Israel’s High Court had ruled that the fence was legal according to international law and consistent with Israel’s security needs, that Israel had not consented to the involvement of the court, and that fences are built in many places in the world. While the ruling of the Court is not binding, it influences international public opinion.)
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is different, however, says Professor Dershowitz, and he himself argues before it.
(The ICC, established by Statute in 2002, is a permanent tribunal that can prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.)
In the case of this court, there is no jurisdiction in states where there is an independent judiciary that will handle the situation. In fact, the most important weapon in defending Israelis in this venue is Israel’s strong judiciary.
(I am not a human rights lawyer, but I find his comments here surprising in light of what I know is Israeli concern about the ICC — concern, for example, about the intention of certain parties to attempt to prosecute in the ICC for war crimes those who fight Israel’s wars. I will check further.)
As to Alan Dershowitz’s defense of Israel, it is clear that he is a passionate and very articulate advocate of Israel — something greatly to be valued. I acknowledge much appreciation for his efforts, even as I do not agree with several of the positions he holds, as, by his own definition, someone who is “center-left.”
To be a supporter of Israel is to never rest, he says.
He does not believe that democracy in Israel is threatened by some of the legislation now being proposed. And I will come back to this. Some of the limits being proposed, he observed, would bring Israel in line with practices of countries such as the US and Canada.
Lastly, he observed that no issue in Israel is domestic. The world holds such a magnifying glass to our actions, that everything becomes the subject of international comment. He mentioned Secretary of State Clinton in this regard, and this, as well, I would like to return to.

From Hope to Joy: Advent and Christmas/Epiphany
To be sure, the decorations, gifts, candy and cookies were huge hits, but even as a child, church events around Christmastime captured the imagination of this Illinois boy. Powerful stories and songs about the coming of Jesus carried anticipation, drama, miracle, mystery, wonderment, and celebration that brought together God, angels and all people—including a kid like me. From small simple gatherings to elaborate pageants, each created special memories and valuable open-ended questions. And that's one more reason this blog exists about Christ-centered theology that shapes worship.
I’d like to suggest four helpful books—two that address the entire church year, and two that are specific to Advent, Christmas and Epiphany (each book is available at Amazon.com). Even if you normally do no more than light another candle on the Advent wreath and add one more verse of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” each week—these books offer scriptures, readings and thoughtful reflections to help inspire your imagination for more.
My favorite is The Meaning Is in the Waiting: The Spirit of Advent by Dr. Paula Gooder (2009 Paraclete Press). This 144 page paperback is not a “how to” book, but a series of reflections inspired by the Bible that are meant to help us think more about waiting—our own waiting and the waiting in the lives of Abraham and Sarah, the prophets, John the Baptist and Mary. It is about active waiting and changing the focus of our lives from ourselves to God. Gooder (pictured here) reminds us that God is actively waiting as well.
God With Us: Rediscovering the Meaning of Christmas (2007 Paraclete Press, hardcover 185 pages) is a beautiful collection of meditations, Scripture, prayer, history and fine art that point to the mystery and wonder of God made flesh. Edited by Greg Pennoyer and Gregory Wolfe, the authors includes top writers Eugene Peterson, Kathleen Norris, Scott Cairns, Emilie Griffin and Luci Shaw.
The Revised Common Lectionary is also offered online as a service of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library at http://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/
In just a couple of days I’ll post favorite hymns, songs and CD’s for the upcoming seasons, but it would be great to hear about your favorites too, as well as whatever things have worked especially well in making Advent or Christmas services special blessings in your congregations.

Release was by MGM. The backstage story features Tom Morton as an aspiring playwright who hopes to stage a Broadway production, Mary Murphy, as a young lady from Indiana, and radio-TV humorist Herb Shriner in a rare acting role as a hardware store owner.

PTI Feb 18, 2018 12:13 PM IST
The moon has descended on the lawns of Victoria Memorial, much to the delight of the city people who were seen thronging the northern gate of the iconic structure to view the spectacle.
A touring artwork, the 3D installation of the moon has been made using imagery from NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, one of the exhibition organisers said.
The Museum of the Moon is a project of the British Council, supported by the Ministry of Culture. It has been put on display at the Victoria Memorial Hall in the city for the weekend visitors, Debanjan Chakrabarti, the director of British Council East, told PTI.
The artwork, created in partnership with the UK Space Agency, was unveiled yesterday in the presence of the director of British Council, India, Alan Gemmell, the secretary and curator of Victoria Memorial, Jayanta Sengupta, and the director of MP Birla Planetarium, Debiprasad Duari.
The 23-feet-wide replica of the moon is half a million times smaller than the real moon. It has been put together by British artist Luke Jerram, Chakraborty said.
"This is an important project for British Council, it merges science with art," he said.
The artwork will foster interest about astronomy among the youngsters, the director of MP Birla Planetarium said.
"It is also interesting that the Museum of the Moon project came to Kolkata 17 days after the total lunar eclipse," Duari added.
Avantika Shah, a Class 10 student in a city school, was among the hundreds who gathered at Victoria Memorial lawns yesterday to watch the giant installation.
"The surface images of the moon look so lifelike. I will opt for space research in future," she said.
The Museum of the Moon project has earlier toured Bengaluru, Mumbai and Udaipur.

The land around Slope Point is used for sheep farming with no houses anywhere nearby. Eroded cliffs drop down to the sea below. An AA signpost there shows the distance to the Equator and the South Pole, and a small solar-powered lighthouse stands on farmland.
There is no road to Slope Point; it can be reached by a 50 -minute walk following dilapidated yellow markers. There is no public access during the lambing season (September – November).

These songs are serving very long sentences. Most won’t be released – ever. Some are completely unable to express themselves and, even if they may look reasonably coherent at first, will begin to sound awkward if you listen to them for a sufficient amount of time.
These songs are in the process of being shaped into coherent entities that one day might convey a message able to trigger some type of emotion on its listeners.

If you find your calendars on iPhone not syncing with Mac or Mac calendars not syncing with iPhone, here in this post, we will show you several solutions to help you fix issues of iPhone/Mac calendar not syncing.
Please help! I have sync issues with iCloud. My calendars on both Mac and iPhone worked fine separately. But somehow they stopped syncing. I can’t see the changes I made on Mac calendar through iPhone, let alone the changes I made on iPhone calendar through Mac. How to fix this problem?
Generally speaking, if you turned on iCloud for calendar and logged in the same iCloud account on your iDevices, the calendars should be kept synced. However, issues like iPhone calendar not syncing with Mac or Mac calendar not syncing with iPhone do occur from time to time. If this what you are encountering, here in this post, we will show you several solutions for the issue.
Before trying the troubleshooting steps below, please make sure your iPhone and Mac meet the system requirements to use iCloud and the date and time settings on iPhone and Mac are correct. You can also try some simple methods like restart the Calendar app, restart iPhone or your Mac.
How to Sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID: If you have more than one account with contacts, make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
1. Check your iCloud account on iPhone: Tap Settings > [your name] > Name, Phone Numbers, Email.
2. Check on Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud. If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
We have listed several solutions for iPhone calendar not syncing below, you can try them one by one.
When you can see no changes, maybe there is nothing wrong with your iPhone and Mac, it is just iCloud has its own schedules to do the sync. Why not try to turn off iCloud Contacts, Calendar or Reminders and turn it back later? It might be helpful for you to see the changes as soon as possible:
Open Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Toggle Calendars OFF. Waiting for a minute, then turn it on. (If you are in iOS 10.2 or earlier, please just go to Settings > iCloud > Slide to Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders, toggle the switch.)
If your iPhone calendars are in iCloud, then it automatically updates your information. If you are using third-party calendar services like Google, for sure that these iPhone calendars would not sync to your Mac. You need to change the default account to iCloud:
To set an iCloud calendar as the default on iPhone. Tap Settings > Calendar > Default Calendar, then choose a calendar under iCloud, now you have set an iCloud calendar as default.
It happens a lot that people don’t select all calendars to sync. That is one of the biggest reasons why iPhone calendars not syncing with Mac or any other iOS devices:
To check your Calendar iCloud settings: Open the Calendars app > Tap Calendars on the bottom-middle of the screen > Click SHOW ALL to select all calendars on iCloud.
Basically, the solutions for Mac Calendar not syncing with iPhone are pretty much similar to the fixes for iPhone Calendar not syncing with Mac. What slightly differ are the operation steps.
Turning off/on iCloud Calendar on Mac is also easy and simple:
If you are using multiple accounts on your Mac, make sure that iCloud is your default Calendar account:
Open the Calendar app, choose Calendar > Preferences, On the General tab, make sure that one of your iCloud calendars is the default. After that, you might need to quit and reopen to set up correctly.
If the syncing issue is taking a long time to solve with the above methods. Here we recommend you a powerful tool – AnyTrans. Here are some main features that you may interest in:
And here are the steps to sync iPhone calendar to Mac:
Step 1: Download and install AnyTrans on your Mac, then connect it with Mac > Tap Device Manager > Click More from the category box.
Step 2: Find and click the Calendar icon to view all your calendars > Choose the calendar or select all> Click To Computer button to transfer to Mac.
Step 3: Once the transferring process is completed, you will see Transfer Completed Page. Click View Files button to locate calendars exported on computer.
That’s all for how to fix iPhone/Mac calendar not syncing, please do let us know if these methods work for you by leaving comments. By the way, AnyTrans could also help you transfer calendar from iPhone to iPhone. Why not download it now and have a seven-day free trial.

Exciting news this morning… Karl Lagerfeld is joining forces with Shu Uemura to give fashion and beauty lovers alike a spectacular one-off holiday collection!
With Karl Lagerfeld’s immense love of the make-up brand (for 20 years, he’s been adding colour to his sketches with Shu Uemura cosmetics as opposed to actual art supplies that us mere mortals would think of using) it’s a wonder this hasn’t been done sooner!
Still, it’s here now so let’s be thankful for that. There aren’t many details about this collaboration floating around yet, but we do know that the Karl Lagerfeld for Shu Uemura 17-piece collection is expected to his stores worldwide this November!
Karl has wasted no time with this collection, as it’s reported that the Kaiser has already shot the ad campaign for it. Hmmm… given any thought to who might be fronting it? Answers on a postcard!

Long-time readers know that I enjoy the vibrant forum they have helped create at Collide-a-Scape. Yes, I sometimes get cranky in the comment threads and yes, I sometimes dish out the snark as well as anyone. But I’m conscious of this behavior and I strive to lead by better example. Overall, I’m gratified by the frequent high level exchanges that occur at this site and often learn from them.
I’m also delighted that overheated verbal jousting has been kept to a minimum since the blog moved to Discover. And by the way, I’m told that the comment system will soon be overhauled, which I believe will include a number of improvements that readers have suggested. (If you have any more suggestions, feel free to offer them in the comments.) For example, I’m anxious that permalinks be provided for individual comments, so I can start highlighting your excellent observations and insights in my posts, which helps to maintain particularly interesting conversations that take shape in the threads.
Along these lines, I wanted to direct your attention to a new study published in the current issue of Science. You need a journal subscription to read it, so here’s how it’s being reported by one news outlet:
A new obstacle to scientific literacy may be emerging, according to a paper in the journal Science by two University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers.
The new study reports that not only are just 12% of Americans turning to newspaper and magazine websites for science news, but when they do they may be influenced as much by the comments at the end of the story as they are by the report itself.
So there it is. What you say matters.

The royal wore the couple’s matching “his and hers” bracelet — a blue-beaded bangle they’ve both been sporting in recent months. Harry reportedly picked up the bracelets during one of his trips to Africa — and the gift has rarely left the actress’s wrist.
Harry, who spent a few days with the Suits star in London last week, was on hand to meet with staff members from NAZ, a sexual health charity that provides support and advice for minority communities in London.
Harry also met with the Joyful Noise choir, a collection of people of different faiths, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender, all living with HIV.
The talented group of singers was rehearsing for tonight’s special performance at the nOscars, an awards ceremony established by Naz in 2012 to highlight the programs, people and media which challenge HIV and homophobic stigma.
In an impromptu speech, Harry told the choir members, “I don’t want to be here in 10 years talking to you guys and saying we’re making a difference. There’s no reason why we can’t turn this around in two or three years.
“Thirty years ago it was pretty much a death sentence, but so many people have put blood, sweat and tears into essentially fixing the problem. For some reason, though, there is a large group of people who don’t know that things have come so far.
“We have got to do this and people have got to hear it from you, they don’t want to hear it from me.”
The visit is part of the prince’s ongoing efforts to break the stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS.
Harry has publicly taken an HIV test in order to encourage others to do the same. He’s also made several private visits to an HIV hospital where his mother Princess Diana famously visited and he spoke at a global HIV conference in South Africa during the summer.
Members of the choir told Prince Harry that the HIV test he took earlier this year was “one of the greatest things you ever did,” He replied. “It was one of the easiest things I ever did.”

Volvo set out to prove that their new full-size truck is tough enough to survive 4-year-old Sophie.
This live test was set up to demonstrate the sturdiness and mobility of the Volvo FMX. A unique cage construction, cast-iron front plus corners and skidplate of high-grade steel make this a very tough truck indeed. And thanks to Automatic Traction Control – a revolutionary new feature that automatically engages the front axle when you need it – you won’t get stuck.
Filmed in Serbia on a closed-off gravel pit – with all buildings empty, locked and sealed. The remote control used by Sophie was specially made for this film. Highly sensitive, the compact RC unit provided access to steering, accelerator, gearshift and brakes.

A Prairie Plant Holiday
December 20, 2013 § 1 Comment
The decorating theme in the Dana-Thomas House Historic Site this holiday season reflects the preference by Frank Lloyd Wright for the use of natural dried materials as decoration in the homes he designed…[Mr. Wright] sought to integrate natural elements in the home by bringing the outdoors inside through the use of large expanses of windows and in the use of exterior building materials within the house. Mr. Wright also used decorative elements derived from nature as design motifs. In the Dana-Thomas House the main design theme is the native prairie sumac plant. He further suggested that his clients use native plants and grasses for additional decoration, varying with the season.
To achieve this homage to Frank Lloyd Wright, spectacular arrangements designed by the members of the Springfield Civic Garden Club are displayed throughout the house. The dried prairie plants and flowers used by the floral designers complement the subtle autumnal colors of the house and, in some cases, mirror the architectural lines. The result is an elegantly muted celebration of the holiday.
On the other hand, according to newspaper accounts Susan chose more vibrant plants and flowers to decorate her home. I describe in an earlier post the holly, California peppers, and red and white carnations she used for the 1908 Christmas season (click here if you missed it). The red and white carnations were also prominent in this description of the first holiday celebration in the house:
The hall and parlor were filled with groups of red and white carnations and maiden hair ferns. The loggia off the hall made a very attractive spot with its palms and ferns…In the dining room red and white were used again as single color tones, all else being of the dark oak shades.
Illinois State Register, December 30, 1904
Perhaps Frank Lloyd Wright did encourage his clients to decorate with dried native plants and grasses as the sign says. If so, this is just one more example of Susan’s independent spirit. She accepted and enjoyed Frank Lloyd Wright’s style to a point, but she made the house he designed into her home on her terms.

Selected Portraits from the Collection
5 August – 10 September 2017
About Face brings together a selection of portraits by key New Zealand artists, from the Gallery’s permanent collection. The exhibition explores the unique way in which artists see others, as well as the equally fascinating way in which they view and present themselves. A good portrait succeeds in arousing our interest in the life and individuality of the sitter. Much more than a mere likeness, it captures the unique character and essence of the subject. The exhibition includes both historic and contemporary works, and comprises a number of self-portraits as well as depictions of others. Historical works include the meticulously rendered portrait “The Belle of Marken”, by Dutch realist painter Petrus van der Velden, as well as works by Grahame Sydney, Rita Angus, Rudolph Gopas, Simon Richardson, Els Noordhof and Jeffrey Harris.

Liverpool travel to the Bet365 stadium on Saturday afternoon in a quest to get their top four push back on track. The Reds could only muster a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth last time out and now need a victory from a team that won’t make it easy.
In their last five trips to Stoke City in the Premier League, Liverpool have won two and lost three; one of those losses being the unforgettable 6-1 hammering in Steven Gerrard’s final game for the club.
However, there are a couple of facts that make pleasant reading for the men in red. In the three league encounters between the two sides since the 6-1 debacle, Liverpool have won all three matches, with a combined aggregate score of 9-2. Jurgen Klopp has overseen two 4-1 victories in his only league encounters against the Potters, and Liverpool fans will be hoping it’s due to the fact that he has Mark Hughes figured out.
One thing not going in Liverpool’s favour, however, is their ever-increasing injury list. In addition to Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson being out for the foreseeable future, Daniel Sturridge still doesn’t appear match fit, Philippe Coutinho has suddenly become a huge doubt after his illness from Wednesday, and Sadio Mane has officially been ruled out for the rest of the season by Jurgen Klopp.
While players like Lallana and Henderson are obviously amiss, neither really compares to how critical the loss of Sadio Mane might be. Liverpool’s respective records this season with and without the Senegalese winger are in stark contrast. In the twenty-nine games with him the team has managed a win percentage of 65.5%, with only three losses. However, in the eleven games without him they have only been able to garner a win percentage of 27.3% and lost almost a third of all the encounters. (via Bleacher Report)
Add into that, with the prospect of Philippe Coutinho potentially missing the trip to Stoke, it’s beginning to look like grim viewing for the Reds. The little Brazilian had looked to be back to his best in Liverpool’s last two games, picking up two goals and one assist. Losing a player of his quality along with probably the side’s two other chief attacking forces in Lallana and Mane, and it’s tough to see where goals are going to come from.
If Coutinho does indeed miss the match (he’s still only a doubt remember), then Liverpool’s attack will either feature an undoubtedly talented but vastly inexperienced Ben Woodburn, or a not fully fit Daniel Sturridge, playing alongside Firmino and Origi. Stoke were already going to make this match difficult for Klopp’s boys but it looks an extremely uphill task now.
Come out of this with three points and not only will it obviously help the side mathematically, but it could potentially be a massive psychological catalyst that is needed to finish the season strongly.

This morning I went to my monthly confession. For my penance, I was told to "imagine Jesus wrapping His arms around me and giving me a great big hug." Well, I was a little confused, but I did it anyway. I went into the chapel and imagined that. It took me about two seconds. Then, feeling like this alone was somehow inadequate, I stayed for several more minutes lamenting my sins, begging for grace and mercy and resolving to walk closer to God from now on.
Of course, it is Christ's blood which cleanses us from sin, not the severity of our penance. But we firmly believe (against Luther and the Protestants) in the true remedial value of doing penance, both for our own sins and the sins of the world. Penance helps us to taste a little bit of what Christ suffered for us and in some little way to meagerly contribute to our own salvation. As St. Paul phrases it, we can "complete what is lacking" in the sufferings of Christ (Col. 1:24). Doesn't it seem, then, that a penance ought to be more in keeping with the idea of some type of sacrifice or suffering? It at least ought to be moderately challenging or outside of our regular routine.
Penance is meant to be both remedial and penal in nature. But since God is simple, the penal nature of the penance is not opposed to the remedial, just as God's love is not opposed to His justice. Penance ought to lead to my sanctification and be an actual work that requires effort. Remember, part of penance (or "punishment") is that we are doing it here so that we won't have to endure it in purgatory. When confessors give wimpy, limp-noodle penances that aren't actually penances at all, they are actually causing their penitents to spend more time in purgatory. Most people barely do any penance ever. The confessional is the one place you have an opportunity to exhort them to do so: why talk them out of it by giving them wimpy things that aren't even penitential in nature? Think of my penance: what is so penitential about imagining Jesus giving me a great big hug? And what virtue or power is there in simple imagination? It's like telling an alcoholic that the way to get sober is to imagine himself sober. That might be part of it, but that alone ain't going to get you there! (yeah, I said "ain't", cuz' it's my blog and I kan spell however I wanna spell).
Perhaps the issue is that for too many, confession has become a psychological rather than a theological reality. It has become a place where people "come to terms" with themselves and look to forgive themselves rather than seek forgiveness from God. In this type of mentality, the idea of laboring to do penance for your sins would not make very much sense, because it wouldn't be connected with the idea of "self-forgiveness" or feeling good about oneself. But penance was originally supposed to be discomforting. Forty days on bread and water. A barefoot pilgrimage to the shrine in the next valley over. Abstinence from sexual relations for one year. These things were all unpleasant. They were do-able, but they were challenging, and to accomplish them was a true conquest of self and a triumph of self-mastery aided by grace. What is so self-conquering about imagining Jesus hugging me?
I'm not suggesting everybody needs a harsh penance. Although, I tend to think that if I were a priest, it would be hard to resist saying to someone, "For your penance, I want you to sell all your possessions and walk to Jerusalem barefoot...just kidding!" Perhaps, though, priests need to remember the remedial/penal nature of penance and not be afraid to challenge people a little more. There are only two choices: the penitents can love you now because you are known as one who gives "easy penances" and hate you later when they have an extra four decades in purgatory because of them, or rather they can do the challenging penances now and thank you later when their guardian angel ushers them straight into the throne room of God among the seraphim and saints in glory.

Playing slots and other casino games at smoky casino palaces are things of the gone days. Everything has shifted to the internet with lots of perks and functions.
Online casinos are not a new thing because the first online casino was introduced in the mid-90s and it is enjoying huge success since the last decade due to increasing numbers of smartphone users and easy availability of the internet. There are lots of online casino sites and apps available for users that offer all types of casino games such as blackjack, slots, bingo, and our all-time favorite poker. Players can learn the mathematics of poker and use it into the gameplay to maximizes their chances of winning. But the thing is that many casinos and poker sites are from overseas and many players hesitate to play with real money to such sites? Is it safe to play on such a casino site? We shall tell you here.
Should You Use Foreign Casino Site for Gambling?
Every business is going global these days with the help of the internet and almost every casino site provides its service in multiple nations. There are many casino sites which are 888poker and many others are providing a great and trusted platform to the customers worldwide and they are already popular. They provide safe payment methods, fair games, and easy conversion of the currency so, they can be trusted. So, in simple words, foreign gambling sites can be trusted as long as they have fair gameplay, secure payments, users’ privacy, and safe platform.
All of the overseas casino sites have legal permission and license of operation from the local gambling commission which regulates their functions so such online casino platforms can be trusted to play with real money. Although, there can be several fraud gambling sites that may lure the customers to their platforms with some enticing offers and bonuses and drain the pockets of the players' but such sites can be identified if precautions are taken. But most of the online casinos are safe and they have the legal permit of operating gambling worldwide so they are safe.
How to Identify If It Is Safe Gambling Site?
As we said, there are various casino sites which lucrative incentive offers on the internet to get the new customers. Most of them are legitimate and those offers are real. But since there are many fishes in the sea, some can be sharks as well. By keeping some important things in mind while checking any casino site for signing up, you would be able to differentiate legal and illegal/unsafe online casino platform.
Online Casino Sites Have Legitimate License
All the online casino platforms have to get a valid license from the gaming commission prior to starting the real money business. This license can be seen on the official website or the app of the digital casino. Malta Gaming Authority, American Gaming Association, Gibraltar Regulatory Authority, Canadian Gaming Association, and Curacao eGaming – These are some of the popular and trusted authorities that permit the license to carry gambling business.
If you see the license from other than these authorities then check on the internet if it from the valid control board since several other countries also offer such a license. If you don’t see and license then a player should keep his/her hands off from that site.
Test and Quality Seal from Trusted Gaming Testing Labs
Any player chooses to play casino games in order to earn money by playing his/her favorite casino games in which he/she owns good skills. But what if games are not fair and they are just being played by casino owners? That is why it is important to check the seal off quality and test from some popular gambling testing companies.
eCOGRA, Gaming Associates, Technical Systems Testing (TST), NMi, BMM Testlabs, SQS, and iTech Labs are some of the most trusted testing companies that check the fairness of the games. So, such companies check their software and provide a seal of assurance and safety. These seals are used as a marketing tactics by online casino sites.
Software Providers Are Crucial
In order to differentiate a safe online casino from fraudulent, software providers also play a significant part. The fairness and quality of the games depend on their developers. All these companies make the safe-to-play games but the gameplay may vary. But most essential is to check the trusted software developers.
Microgaming, NetEnt, Playtech, Novoline, Play’n Go, Big Time gaming, and Merkur Gaming are some of the big names in the industry. So, games from such developers can be trusted. And if the casino doesn’t have games from such developers then keep your hands off of it.
Quick and Safe Payment Options
An unsafe or illegal wouldn’t have safe payment methods. In order to recognize a trusted online casino, you need to check the payment methods to ensure safety. Credit cards, Crypto, Skrill, Neteller, and PayPal among the trusted and quick payment options at online casinos
If you see above quality in any online casino site whether it is domestic or foreign, you can play your favorite games without hesitation. Game options also play an important but it varies according to individual interest so, you can check it by yourself.

We recently sat down with Parmigiani Fleurier, for a hands-on look at their incredible Tondagraphe Tourbillon Chronograph.
Initially launched in 2009, this updated 2013 model’s dial features some aesthetic upgrades, and the case now has pump pushers instead of the standard pushers from the previous version.
Underneath the dial, the hand-wound tourbillon chronograph movement, caliber PF 354, has stayed the same. Beating at 3Hz (21,600 vph), the movement has 295 components, 29 jewels, and a 72-hour power reserve. Every component is hand-finished to perfection, from the hand beveled and polished main plate and bridges to the blackened screws, the polished tourbillon bridges.
Function include hours, minutes, small seconds (at 9 o’clock), a crescent-shaped power reserve indicator (at 12 o’clock), and a 1/4 second chronograph (large central seconds, 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock). The rose gold case measures 43 mm x 13.3 mm, and is fully polished. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, as is the casebook. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters. Each piece is individually numbered X/30, and this is engraved on the caseback.
An open-worked dial exposes the components beneath, including Geneva stripes on the back of the mainplate, as well as circular graining. On the outer edge, the chapter ring is dark gray with small luminous applied indexes, and a printed gilt tachymeter 1000 scale. The large luminous Lance-shaped hour and minute hands are in rose gold, with a signature Parmigiani logo counter-weight for the central chronograph seconds hand.
Prominently visible at 6 o’clock is the one-minute tourbillon which rotates the regulation system to counteract the effects of gravity which in turn increases rate accuracy and stability. The bevelling of the two tourbillon bridges alone requires 20 hours of work to achieve the required quality of finish, and the cage will take almost 40 hours.
The Tondagraphe Tourbillon Chronograph is an exquisite timepiece, finished to the highest standards, and complemented by a Hermès alligator with 18K rose gold ardillon buckle, with a polished finish. As far as tourbillons, there are many to choose from on the market, but not many have this level of detail and functionality.

NVIDIA sees its mobile system-on-a-chip graphics solutions surpassing the performance of the Xbox 360 in the coming years. A new graph the company shared with AnandTech highlights the performance of Tegra chips in comparison to those found within PCs and gaming consoles. The solid lines are estimated performance, while the dotted lines are trends. NVIDIA estimates that at some point in 2013, mobile graphic performance will match the Xbox 360 and by 2014, mobile performance will surpass that of the Xbox 360. Of course processor performance is hardly the only piece of the puzzle when it comes to gaming, and Microsoft and Sony will each have new consoles on the market in 2014. More →
During Apple’s press event on Wednesday, the Cupertino-based company took direct aim at NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 processor, claiming its own A5X chip delivers four times the performance. The company neglected to show hard evidence to support its claim, however. Ken Brown, a spokesman for NVIDIA, told ZDNet that while it was “certainly flattering” to be mentioned by Apple, the performance claims are unfounded without more data. “We don’t have the benchmark information,” Brown said. “We have to understand what the application was that was used. Was it one or a variety of applications? What drivers were used? There are so many issues to get into with benchmark.” When Apple’s new iPad goes on sale on March 16th, NVIDIA plans to run tests in order to determine whether or not Apple’s claims hold water. “At some point it will become more clear what the performance really is,” Brown concluded. “For now, Apple has a really generic statement.” More →
Research In Motion still has a few big-name firms in its corner — Macquarie is one example — but even long-time supporters seem to be losing patience with the Waterloo, Ontario-based vendor. “We don’t see valuation improving until RIM addresses four key issues, which we think keep investors from properly valuing the company,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky wrote in a note to investors on Tuesday. “We view recent Q2 results as symptomatic of RIM’s failure to address these challenges.” Abramsky goes on to list four points RIM must address in order to right the ship, the first of which is escaping its tendency to launch “backwards-looking, uncompetitive products and software.” Read on for more.

HP began rolling out the webOS 3.0.2 update to its TouchPad tablet on Monday evening. The software update is expected to improve the performance and stability of the device and also includes a number of enhancements. According to HP’s change log, webOS 3.0.2 offers improvements to the calendar, email, music, photos and videos, and web browser applications. Users should now see faster scrolling inside email with improved message content and image display. In addition, HP has reduced audio skipping while the TouchPad is multitasking and has improved the speed and accuracy of text assist. The company has also dropped the price of the TouchPad by $50 until September 10th, which means you can pick up a 16GB model for $449 or a 32GB model for $549. Read on for a full list of the webOS 3.0.2 changes. More →
Japanese blog Macotakara.jp is reporting from parts makers in Asia that Apple’s upcoming MacBook Air refresh, expected in the next two weeks, will use super-speedy 400Mbps NAND flash storage chips. In addition to being incredibly fast — even faster that the current MacBook Air solution, which uses an mSATA connector to connect the SSD to the motherboard — these new NAND flash storage chips would be soldered directly to the motherboard, bypassing any connector. If true, this new change would result in 100-times performance increase over the current solution, and coupled with a rumored bump to i5 / i7 processors, the new MacBook Airs should absolutely fly.

Facing stiff competition from Samsung, LG, and Apple, Motorola Mobility has seen a slump in its share price and market share following a recent downgrade from analyst firm BMO. According to Dow Jones News Wires, Motorola Mobility’s share of the Android market took off like a rocket when it introduced the highly sought-after Motorola DROID on Verizon in 2009. However, its Android share fell from 33% last year to just 14% in the first quarter as other manufacturers began pumping out competing Android devices, some at lower price points. Reportedly, BMO has cut Motorola Mobility’s earnings per share target for the year and has dropped its price target from $26 to $19. Motorola Mobility last closed at $22, down from its 52-week high of $36.54.
Qualcomm has released a few videos promoting its next-generation dual-core Mobile Development Platform, which includes its blazing fast MSM8660 Snapdragon processor. The video shows the platform’s Adreno 220 graphics processing unit chewing through 720p HD video. Similarly, Qualcomm’s single-core QSD8255 processor bests an LG Optimus 2X, powered by a a 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, in a Flash load test. What’s so exciting about that? The MSM8660 Snapdragon chipset powers devices such as the HTC EVO 3D, headed to Sprint, and the HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile that will launch in the coming months. Hit the jump for two quick videos.

Verizon Wireless has announced that it will issue a software update for the HTC ThunderBolt on May 3rd. The update will enhance the connectivity to Verizon’s 3G network – when a 4G signal isn’t available, of course – and will also fix some email and SMS bugs so that messages are stored properly in your inbox. Verizon also said that, after the patch is applied, the Backup Assistant application will display properly in the applications menu. Other fixes include faster loading of GPS updates and stability improvements for Facebook, KAYAK, Yahoo! Mail, My Verizon, and others. Unfortunately, the update doesn’t appear to offer any improvements to the ThunderBolt’s notoriously bad battery life. More →
Motorola has announced that there is a new software update available for the Verizon Wireless DROID Pro. Unfortunately the patch will not update your DROID Pro to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), but it should reduce the frequency of UI lockups, offer improved audio during calls, and the following fixes:
- Improved audio on voice calls.
- Improved stability and performance.
- User interface display now refreshes when user switches from GSM/UMTS communication to Global Mode.
- Device now prepends 011 to Country Code to send SMS messages.
- Global Mode no longer resets when connecting to a USB charger.
- Visual Voice Mail now detects airplane mode while Wi-Fi is active.
- Prompt return to full screen brightness after wake-up.
- Upgraded Bluetooth firmware.
- Improved interoperability with Microsoft Internet Application Gateway (IAG) configurations.
- Device string format for Exchange changed to include device name and version number.
- Upgrade to Google applications Release 7
Apple has updated iTunes to version 10.2.2, which should fix several errors that have caused iPads to lock up during sync. The update also applies stability and performance improvements and fixes a bug that has caused iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch units to sync for longer than is necessary. Apple also said iTunes 10.2.2 will fix skipping issues that occur during video previews in the iTunes Store. Users should be prompted to install the latest version of iTunes upon program launch.

Web browsers always look to strike a balance between speed and functionality, but not enough focus on the former can easily spoil a user’s experience. Mozilla has put a great deal of time and effort working speed improvements into the latest version of its Firefox browser but sometimes all that hard work is for naught due to slow add-ons from third-party developers. In an effort to raise awareness and to push developers to optimize their plugins, perhaps, Mozilla has published a list of the add-ons that slow down Firefox the most. Among the worst offenders are FoxLingo, AniWeather, FoxyTunes and Xmarks Sync. In a bit of irony, an add-on called “FastestFox” that is supposed to speed up browsing by simplifying repetitive tasks is No.8 on Mozilla’s list. If you’ve been experiencing some slowness in Firefox and are wondering which add-ons might be the culprit, hit the read link for Mozilla’s complete list. More →
According to several, leaked internal screen shots obtained by TmoNews, the highly-anticipated NoDo Windows Phone 7 update could begin rolling out to owners of the T-Mobile HTC HD7 smartphone as soon as Today. Users should start seeing a pop-up notification alerting them of the update, at which point they’ll need to connect their phones to a computer and install the update through Microsoft’s Zune Player software. NoDo will bring copy/paste functionality, improvements to Wi-Fi and the camera, along with several speed and performance enhancements. For now this is just a rumor, but it’s entirely possible given that Microsoft began pushing out the NoDo update in Europe last week. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if we hear more on NoDo being deployed to the HD7 today. More →
Apple has released OS X 10.6.7 for Mac computers, and it includes some stability, performance, and security enhancements. It also fixes display issues that have been plaguing early 2011 MacBook Pro models. The update should make the Back to My Mac software more reliable, resolves some issues that occurred while transferring files to SMB servers, addresses bugs related to FaceTime performance and the Mac App Store, and improves graphics stability and display compatibility when using your MacBook Pro with an external monitor. The entire update should be roughly 390MB in size and can be downloaded through Snow Leopard’s software update utility.

Becky Garrison: Effective next year, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a non-profit civil rights organization, will add The Family Research Council (FRC) and 12 other anti-gay organizations to the list of hate groups they monitor. On December 7, 2010, SPLC President Richard Cohen and SPLC’s Intelligence Project Director Mark Potok held a half-hour web conference to discuss these recent additions.
Following are some of the highlights from this conversation:
- After analyzing hate crime data collected by the FBI from 1995 to 2008, the SPLC concluded that gays and lesbians are about two and a half times more likely to be attacked than Jews or African Americans. They’re more than 4 times likely to be attacked than Muslims and 14 percent more likely to be attacked than Latinos. (Cohen and Potok didn’t give a breakdown for hate crimes committed against bi-sexual and transgender individuals compared to gays and lesbians.)
- A full listing of the anti-gay groups the SPLC monitors and related findings can be found in their Intelligence Report (Winter 2010). In addition to the Family Research Council, the SPLC designated these organizations as hate groups: Abiding Truth Ministries, American Family Association, Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, American Vision, Chalcedon Foundation, Dove World Outreach Center, Faithful World Baptist Church, Family Research Institute, Heterosexuals Organized for a Moral Environment (HOME), Illinois Family Institute, MassResistance!, and Traditional Values Coalition, among others.
- The designation of 13 organizations as hate groups doesn’t mean that these groups engage in illegal activities or advocate violence, but that their ideology demonizes the LGBT community by spreading falsehoods. For example, the key reason SPLC listed the Family Research Council as a hate group is because the FRC continues to associate homosexuality, and gay men in particular, with pedophilia, a fact that has been shown to be scientifically false. (In Their Intelligence Report (Winter 2010), the SPLC debunks 10 anti-gay myths.)
- SPLC illustrated the media’s role in disseminating these groups’ falsehoods with the example of Mark Potok and FRC’s Tony Perkins recent exchange on Hardball with Chris Matthews. In this debate, Perkins cited the American College of Pediatricians (ACP) as a reliable source to prove that homosexuality is harmful to children. According to SPLC’s research, this group consists of about 100 to 200 professionals who broke away from the American Academy of Pediatricians over the issue of supporting parental rights for gay Americans. As a condition of joining the American College of Pediatricians, one must hold specific beliefs such as support for traditional marriage. Perkins’ use of this organization’s material to bolster his claims that homosexuality poses a risk to children was presented as fact without this data being challenged by Matthews.
- While the SPLC doesn’t advocate for a law to ban these 13 hate groups from appearing on media outlets, they note that those organizations trading in falsehoods should not be taken seriously.
The question remains how conservative evangelicals will respond to these developments. Will individual groups go on the defensive as in the case of the Family Research Council? Or will they heed the advice offered by Dr. Warren Throckmorton, Senior Editorial Advisor to the Christian Post International:
Christian groups should care about nuance and bearing honest witness. They should avoid misleading stereotypes and strive for accuracy in fact claims. When they don’t, they hurt the church and the good work that others are doing. Being designated a hate group is a serious matter and one which should cause reflection about the charges and not reckless defensiveness.
Recklessness however, not reflection, drives ratings, builds blog buzz and generates book sales. As long as these clowns can generate an audience, I suspect the media will continue promoting this “Christian” circus.

The second CARS Amateur Radio Skills Workshop took place on the 17th of February 2014.
Over 40 people gathered together at the Danbury Village Hall near Chelmsford for the second in the new series of Amateur Radio Skills Nights – This is a new initiative from the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Club intended to help local amateurs to meet, share knowledge and try something new. Rather than a "sit-and-listen" event, the Skills Workshops are hands-on sessions where people can get hands-on and ask questions on a one-to-one basis, which for many is the preferred way of learning something different.
At the first successful event in January, questionnaires were circulated to allow attendees to vote on future topics. Data Modes was the most requested topic, and so Data played a big part in the February session, with demos of PSK31 from Charlie M0PZT - the author of the free and easy-to-use PSK31 viewer EssexPSK. The weak signal data mode JT65 was demonstrated by Pete M0PSX, and the team was also joined by Chris M6EDF, who demonstrated how to receive signals from high altitude balloons, which sent their telemetry using RTTY.
The second most requested topic was “HF Antennas”, and CARS president Carl G3PEM was on hand to answer questions on this subject, with a common theme being advice on identifying the best type of HF antenna for use at home. Ideas were sketched on a whiteboard, supported by a collection of baluns, cables and connectors.
Also present at the event, Jim 2E0RMI with is popular live Echolink demonstration, David M0HBV with the RSGB Centenary PSK31 receiver, as well as a collection of other show-and-tell items including mobile HF antennas, a 2m Slim Jim, a home-made Morse key and a microphone built from bits salvaged at the recent Canvey Rally.
The session was very well attended, and it was great to see so many familiar faces, including recent CARS graduate Cathy Colless M0RTW, who travelled down from Cambridge. Cathy recently completed her Foundation, Intermediate and Full exams in just 57 days. For those unable to make the event, Pete M0PSX found time to have a couple of QSOs with amateurs in Kent, on the slot normally reserved for Pete's Essex Ham Monday Night Net.
As something of an experiment, a short quiz was put together to stimulate some discussion around licence conditions, band plans and callsigns. Those interested in answering the questions could scribble down their answers, making use of handy copies of band plans and licences. By popular request, an online version of the quiz is now available.
The quiz, and a selection of photos from the CARS February Skills Night can be found at http://www.essexham.co.uk/skills-feb14
The next event takes place on Monday the 17th of March 2014 at the Danbury Village Hall, near Chelmsford. The Skills Workshops are open to all, and there's no charge for attending. For details, and to sign up for email updates, go to http://www.hamskills.co.uk

- bilbo.zip [12-Apr-1994]
- Bilbo version 2.1, a Swedish text adventure.
In spite of its name, this is actually an adaption of
Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. It is a very different
adventure, trying to reproduce the feeling of reading a
book rather than playing a game. It doesn't quite
succeed, but it's an interesting attempt, nevertheless.
Requires EGA (for minor graphics). QuickBasic source
included. Programmed by Nils Eng.

Why eat half an egg? Which half? What's the downside of eating a whole egg?
Because that serving of egg is so small, your breakfast seems crazily high carb to me in ratio terms. If you want to kick the sugar cravings, try having NOTHING sweet for breakfast--no banana, no berries--for a month or so. Personally, I wouldn't have the banana later in the day either while sugar is an issue.
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food

I am thrilled to announce that Conquer Addiction will officially launch its searchable database of addiction treatment centers on June 30th. For the first time, families will be able to search for rehabs which have proven through well-designed outcomes research that they’re providing effective treatment and then contact them directly if desired. Click below to try a search now!
When Conquer Addiction’s database was first created in 2015, there were only five addiction treatment centers in the entire U.S. that were both following up with their patients after treatment to determine whether they were meeting their alcohol and drug usage goals and willing to publicly share their results. Conquer Addiction’s launch showcases the dramatic expansion in the use of post-treatment outcomes research over the last five years by leaders in the field of addiction treatment.
Applying for a Conquer Addiction Database Listing
All accredited addiction treatment programs are eligible to apply for a page in Conquer Addiction’s database. Programs wishing to apply for a success rating must also submit their six-month or twelve- month outcomes research results. An independent panel of prestigious judges will review the applications and grant up to a 5-star success rating according to the criteria outlined in the rules.
Treatment programs wishing to be included in the database when Conquer Addiction launches on June 30th must submit a complete application no later than 5:00 p.m. PST on Monday, June 22nd. Conquer Addiction will waive its $199/year fee for the first year for centers who apply by this deadline. The next application deadline will be September 15th.
Treatment centers which can show they started an outcomes research program that meets the stringent requirements of Conquer Addiction’s judges prior to June 22nd will be granted a temporary 3-star rating to give them time to collect and report six-month post-treatment results. Complete rules and application details are available here:
To assist Vista's RECOVERY 20/20 clients in applying for a Conquer Addiction success rating, all centers will receive a detailed summary of their outcomes results within the next 24 hours. Programs should go ahead and submit the basic application to create their treatment center's page now; the application to submit outcomes research results is separate.

The current console generation has brought game systems major strides closer to becoming living room "hubs", letting users interact with all kinds of media from streaming music to video rentals and Blu-ray discs. But while PlayStation 3 users spend a bigger share of their time on the system on multimedia, Xbox 360 users play online games more.
Research firm Nielsen's latest game industry survey found that Xbox 360 users spend 62 percent of their console time on games -- with their playtime evenly split between online and offline play. PlayStation 3 users spend a little more than half of their console time doing things other than gaming -- and when they play, it's "relatively more" offline versus online play than its rival.
Nielsen says the consoles' launch tactics do play a role in the way these stats shake down. Microsoft has always marketed its Xbox 360 largely on the back of its Xbox Live network and multiplayer content, while PS3's launch was marked by the decision -- a little controversial at the time -- to put a Blu-ray drive inside the console even though it helped create a very high launch price.
Although the consoles' exclusives and slightly different demographics play a role, the primary differentiating factor is the total share of online playtime, Nielsen concludes, as detailed in the chart below:
Both consoles see watching DVDs and Blu-ray videos as their second most common usage -- PlayStation 3 users spend 27 percent of their console time watching Blu-rays, which is "on-par with offline gaming and, in fact, surpasses online gaming" on the hardware.
"However, by comparison, DVD viewing occupies only 11 percent of time on an Xbox 360 (Blu-Ray format is not supported by Xbox 360)," adds Nielsen. "In sum, the PlayStation 3 stands out for its use as a DVD/Blu-Ray player as well as a gaming console."
A quarter of console users say that video-on-demand and streaming services are their third most common use: Netflix, MLB Network, ESPN3 and similar options account for 20 percent of Wii users’ time, 10 percent of Xbox 360 users’ time and 9 percent of PlayStation 3 users’ time.
Nielsen reflects on Wii's leadership in this category: "Compared to the other two consoles, the bulk of time on the Wii is in the form of offline gaming; the system trails in use for online play. This may reflect the lesser emphasis on online applications and gameplay for the Wii in general. In terms of streaming, Netflix was introduced this year for the Wii, but its lead in share is likely a function of the fewer hours per user that is being divided up... overall, the Wii is most defined by its use for traditional offline gaming."

How one teen combats oppression through art
MAYA ADACHI IS FINISHING her final year of high school, but prom night and university applications are low on her priority list. Instead, she’s busy fighting systemic racism.
As a final project for an art class at Inglenook Community High School in Toronto, Adachi started making stickers and T-shirts scrawled with the message: Fuck White Supremacy. She sells the merchandise to her friends, people at poetry slams she attends, and others who find her through word of mouth. Once she’s made enough profit, she plans to donate a portion of it to a cause that will benefit minorities in her community.
“The inspiration behind this phrase was the white-on-black murders of Mike Brown, Jermaine Carby, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and so many more that happen everyday,” she explains. “Oppressions still exist due to ignorance and the idea that racism, sexism, etcetera are outdated concepts.”
The point of Fuck White Supremacy is to grab people’s attention and help remind the public that racism, especially white supremacy, is a serious and persistent problem both locally and internationally. “People who do not experience systemic discrimination may find it difficult to understand the importance of combating [it],” she says.
Growing up, Adachi was frequently a target of discrimination. Her mother is Japanese and father is Jewish, and she refers to herself as “a non-white girl.” “I have, and continue to, experience mainly racism and sexism, and therefore I am very passionate about putting an end to supremacies that benefit certain groups of people,” she explains.
Touting the anti-racism message on her merchandise is also an act of defiance against the societal “norms” and other social structures that legitimize and perpetuate racism and discrimination in general. At the same time, Adachi says that displaying such a blunt anti-racism message shows solidarity with victims of race-based discrimination.
“[I’ve been] putting up the stickers throughout Toronto, and I have encouraged people who buy the stickers to put them up in public as well.”
Currently, Adachi is working on a new project where she will silkscreen “feh-muh-nist” onto shirts in an effort to help combat the sexism that permeates our society.
“There’s so much negative association with the word ‘feminism’ itself,” says Adachi, who wants to start more conversations about what the term really means and what feminist concepts are about. Adachi explains that for her, feminism is about shifting the patriarchal paradigm and establishing gender equality on social, political, and economic scales.
The majority of Adachi’s friends in Toronto are aware of local and international issues that have to do with racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. But typically, she says, the extent of each individual’s awareness depends on “their racial, cultural background, and their upbringing, like parental influences, neighbourhood, etcetera.”
Having awareness does not equate to having the drive and motivation to mobilize real change, however. Adachi says that most of her peers are “not usually passionate” when it comes to taking action to address these issues in their communities, nor when it comes to actively trying to make society change for the better, like she has done with Fuck White Supremacy.
In her opinion, the best way to be part of the solution is by being “mindful of what happens around us and acting on whatever discrimination we observe.” And when it comes to minority groups who face discrimination and the threat of persecution in their daily lives, she says there’s no such thing as an innocent bystander.
As Adachi approaches the end of high school, she plans to continue building her social justice movement, while working as a chocolate maker in the summer to save money.
“I’m hoping to find my interests through travelling to other parts of the world,” she says.
Adachi is open to attending post-secondary school in the future, and would especially be interested in programs and courses about social justice.

Opus Accounting is an accountancy practice that likes to stand out from the crowd. From social media, to community support to online competitions, the company is always finding new and interesting ways to reach new audiences. Director, Nigel Coombs FCCA, describes their approach:"We like to think of ourselves as 'refreshingly different'. We believe it's the added value that each individual and the company as a whole brings that makes us stand out from the competition". It's this approach that led Nigel, and the other two directors of the company, to sign up for the free mentor training. Nigel says, "We met Get Mentoring at the Business 2012 event at the 02 earlier this year. We thought the mentor training and volunteering was a really interesting way to develop new skills and contacts and consider how we can expand our service to existing clients. When we discussed it as a management team we felt it was definitely worth the time commitment." The team already do a number of voluntary activities in the local area, mostly for personal satisfaction and enjoyment, but they also recognise that it can help raise their profile in wider networks too. Nigel says that another driving factor behind him signing up was to replicate the support he has had from his mentors throughout his career. He says that one person in particular was very supportive. "When I was first starting out I joined a very small practice in the West End of London and I was lucky enough to have a very supportive and encouraging employer. I worked directly with the sole practitioner who encouraged me to take professional exams and become a qualified accountant. Lots of his professional habits rubbed off, such as how to manage clients and handle the revenue. When I was doing the mentor training, I was very keen to find out how I might be able support people both inside and outside our business with this kind of guidance, and be open to what I can learn from them too". When asked why people should engage with a mentor, Nigel says: "For anyone starting out I'd definitely recommend that they seek mentoring support from people who have been there and got the tee-shirt, they will learn a lot and shouldn't be afraid to ask questions to get the most out of the relationship". All three Directors completed the training at a workshop rather than online although both options are available. Nigel says of the training: "Going out of the office for a training course works best for me as there are so many distractions in the office and you get to meet people you wouldn't otherwise meet. The course was really useful as a way to understand the mentoring role, but as well as this it made me think about how a mentoring approach could be useful in some interactions with clients and staff too". Nigel feels that mentoring also helps him add value as an accountant. He says "A good accountant should be able to look at the business as a whole, not just the numbers. If you can understand the wider business you can really help that business to develop ". The business is also an ACCA recognised training practice,meaning that developing mentoring skills will also contribute to the support they give to their students. Ruth Lowbridge, Executive Chair of SFEDI Group, the organisation behind Get Mentoring is very keen to encourage more accountancy firms to sign up. She says: "The combination of business experience and accountancy skills are invaluable to people starting up and growing their businesses. The course helps individuals explore how their experience and skills can be applied to that of a volunteer mentor and can help in their wider business activities too". Do you or people in your company want to Get Mentoring? Sign up for a workshop or complete the training course online at www.getmentoring.org Five great reasons to Get Mentoring There are loads of great reasons to sign up as a volunteer business mentor, here's just five of them.

The Los Angeles Dodgers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a Delaware court Monday, the latest setback this year for the baseball organization.
In the filing, the Dodgers cite MLB Commissioner Bud Selig’s decision not to approve a multibillion-dollar TV deal with Fox last week. By filing for Chapter 11, Frank McCourt is allowed to use $150 million to finance the team, which means he could meet payroll at the end of this week.
“He’s [Bud Selig] turned his back on the Dodgers, treated us differently, and forced us to the point we find ourselves in today,” McCourt said in a statement. “I simply cannot allow the Commissioner to knowingly and intentionally be in a position to expose the Dodgers to financial risk any longer. It is my hope that the Chapter 11 process will create a fair and constructive environment to get done what we couldn’t achieve with the Commissioner directly.”
Thirteen of the creditors listed in bankruptcy filing are owed over $1 million, including Manny Ramirez ($21 million), Andruw Jones ($11 million) and current starter Hiroki Kuroda ($4.5 million).

If you are in an automobile accident, a car accident lawyer can help you to recover damages or to protect yourself if someone is suing you. Read on for the top 10 reasons to consult a car accident lawyer after a car accident.
You have the right to recover damages for a car accident: If someone is driving negligently or recklessly and causes you injury in an accident, you likely have the legal right to recover your damages.
You could potentially be sued by the other driver for liability: On the other hand, if the other party believes you are at fault, he could potentially file a lawsuit against you. This could mean that you- or your insurance company- could end up with a very large bill for someone else's injuries. This is true even if you were only partially at fault under comparative negligence rules, which means you can still be sued for a portion of the other driver's expenses and injury costs even if the other party shares the fault for causing the accident.
There is a statute of limitations for filing car accident injury claims: If you want to sue someone else for causing your injury in a car accident, you have to do so within the statute of limitations set by the state. If you don't sue within this period- which is normally from one to two years after the accident- you may lose your right to sue forever.
The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an auto accident lawyer for advice regarding your individual situation.

Getting scratched by your cat can be not only a painful experience but can also impact your health.
Cat claws can cause significant trauma, potentially leading to wounds that bleed, swell, and become infected.

If the cat scratch has broken your skin, immediate action should be taken:
- Wash the wound(s) gently under running water — avoid scrubbing.
- Gently clean the wound with hand soap. Avoid cleaning with strong disinfectants or other chemicals, as they can sting and cause additional pain around the wound. Alternatively, clean the wound with a mild salt solution, made by mixing 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of table salt in 2 cups (500 ml) of water.
- Rinse for several minutes after cleaning.
- Control bleeding by applying pressure to the wound using an absorbent dressing or bandage.
- Apply antibiotic cream (e.g., Neosporin®) and cover with a sterile bandage.
- If your eye is scratched, seek immediate medical care.
- Do not let your cat lick your wound(s). It can cause Cat Scratch Fever, which I describe in more detail below.
Follow-Up Care for a Cat Scratch
After the initial treatment of the cat scratch wound, watch out for the following signs:
Around the site of the scratch and surrounding tissues
- Bleeding will not stop
- Increased pain
- Increased swelling
- Area of skin redness becomes wider
- Round, raised lesions
- Increase in the warmth of the skin
- Development of pus or other fluid
- Lymph nodes become swollen, tender, and/or painful
- Poor appetite
ALERT! If any of the above symptoms occur, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Scratching of hands and feet can be more prone to infection. Cosmetic damage in the form of scarring can also occur. The risk of infection is greater for people who have weakened or compromised immune systems.
How Serious is a Cat Scratch?
Although most cat scratches don’t cause problems, depending on the location and the depth of the scratch, as well as the health of the person who was scratched, they can lead to health issues. Only a medical doctor for humans can tell you for sure what is serious or not.
If you’ve been scratched by a cat and the wound does not heal or becomes worse, even after applying first aid at home, or you start feeling ill, you should contact your healthcare provider and have them examine the wound.
Cat Scratch Fever
One disease of notable concern is cat scratch disease (CSD), also called cat scratch fever. It is a bacterial infection caused by Bartonella henselae. It is spread by cats when they lick an open wound on a person or by bites and scratches that break the skin.
Typically, 3 to 14 days after the licking or infliction of the wound, it may appear swollen and red with round, raised lesions. Pus may be present, as well. Other signs of CSD are fever, headache, poor appetite, and exhaustion. As the disease progresses, lymph nodes near the original scratch or bite can become swollen, tender, or painful.
Serious complications from CSD are rare. However, it can affect your brain, eyes, heart, or other internal organs. Children 5 to 14 years of age and people with weakened immune systems are more at risk of developing these complications.
Most cats with CSD have no signs of illness. They can become infected with Bartonella henselae from flea bites and flea dirt (droppings) that get into their wounds when scratching or biting at fleas, and infected dirt gets in their nails or between their teeth or fighting with other cats that are infected.
For more information about this disease, visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Steps for the Prevention of Cat Scratch Disease
Since fleas are the carriers of the bacterium Bartonella henselae that causes cat scratch disease in cats, flea preventatives and control are helpful in the prevention of it. Learn more about what flea preventatives are available and most effective for cats.
Steps that you can take at home to keep flea populations down include:
- Using veterinarian-recommended flea and tick control for all your pets
- Vacuuming carpeting and upholstery on a weekly basis
- Washing human and pet bedding every seven days

Why Do Cats Scratch?
Scratching is a normal behavior of cats. It is an instinct used to express emotions like excitement and anxiety, mark objects with the scent glands from their paws, and remove the outer layer of their nails.
Then there is scratching behavior that is directed at other living creatures. It can be done in play, like the inquisitive kitten who paws at your moving hand with unsheathed claws. Or as a defensive maneuver, akin to the cat who rolls on their back, seemingly to invite petting of their belly, only to swat away the offending hand with the quickness of an Olympic sprinter and, sometimes, razor-sharp claws.
Learn more about how to stop your cat from scratching your furniture and give them appropriate alternative scratching options in our article "Scratch This, Not That!"
What to Do if Your Cat Scratches During Play
If your cat scratches you during play, give your cat (and yourself) a time-out by simply removing yourself from the situation. Eventually, your cat will learn that playtime stops if they use their claws on your skin. Also, provide your cat with a variety of toys that can be used to touch, bite, and scratch. These toys can be used to redirect your cat's assertive play to something more appropriate.
In addition — and this is critical — do not use your hands as toys. As kittens, this can be seen as endearing, but as a cat grows, their claws and teeth can cause some serious damage. Reserve your hands for only things like petting, holding, and carrying.
What to Do if Your Cat Scratches Due to Aggression
Just like when scratching during play, if your cat scratches you as an aggressive act, remove yourself from the situation. But then you will need to do some investigative work to get to the root of the cause. First, talk to your veterinarian to rule out medical conditions, like pain, that may be the cause of the aggression.
If a medical issue cannot be identified, then your cat may have a behavioral problem that needs to be addressed. Reach out to a veterinarian in your area who has expertise in behavior or a certified behavioral consultant. Ask your family veterinarian for a recommendation or search the directory of the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB).
Minimizing Injury From Cat Scratches
Trim your cat’s nails on a regular basis to minimize injury. I recommend trimming them every 1–2 weeks. Not only does keeping those claws trimmed make the rogue attacks less painful for the recipient, but it also helps maintain the integrity of your furniture and other household items.
Until your cat becomes accustomed to having their nails handled and trimmed, as well as not scratching you in play, it may be worthwhile to equip yourself with some clothing armor to avoid injury, like long sleeves and pants.

The NRL is preparing to roll out a new-look salary cap by the start of the 2015 season having nearly completed an exhaustive look at ways to improve the current system.
Chief operating officer Jim Doyle and head of football Todd Greenberg have counselled players, clubs, fans, sponsors and player managers before engaging sections of the media on Tuesday to gauge ideas to overhaul the cap and bring it in line with the modern game.
Transfer windows and fees are being considered, while the abolition of the second-tier mechanism to allow clubs to include players outside their top-25 under one cap is almost certain.
In one of the biggest shake-ups to the game since Super League, the NRL is expected to complete its research and submit a blueprint for approval by the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA) by the end of the month.
Allownaces for marquee players are high on the agenda, with the current figure of $600,000 for each club and how it is used under scrutiny.
Veteran players' allowances, which currently involve a $200,000 cap discount for players with eight consecutive years' service with one club, are also being examined.
Discussions have taken place about potentially reducing the number of years served for a player to qualify and spreading it out to more than one player.
Cap set to rise
Last season saw the clubs' $7 million annual grant from the NRL exceed the $5.85 million cap for the first time.
The cap will rise to $6.3 million next year and by a further $250,000 in 2016 and then by $200,000 in 2017 and 2018.
"We've looked at other sports both domestically and internationally who use a salary cap," Doyle said.
"We're addressing what issues have been coming up for a while and what needs to be changed."
Any changes to how cash is distributed from the cap would require tweaking the new five-year Collective
Bargaining Agreement (CBA), that was signed off by the RLPA and the NRL last February.
However, Doyle said he did not envisage any problems if it was of benefit to the players.
"It wouldn't be an issue I don't think and wouldn't take up too much time, providing the players were happy with it," he said.
"But it's very important to note that any changes won't only affect the big-name star players but all players.
"We still have a way to to go before we put all of the ideas together, but we hope to have something before the year is out.
"But anything significant wouldn't kick in until the 2015 season. Clubs have already worked on their budgets for next year and their rosters are completed.
"But if we can bring in some smaller changes in time for next year we will."
Football departments under review
The prospect of a so-called "luxury tax" is also under consideration with moves afoot to potentially invoke a cap on a club's football department spending.
The system is being considered by the AFL to try and equalise its competition and is used by Major League Baseball in the US.
Melbourne Storm currently spend the most amount of money on their football department which is currently exempt from any cap, and they recently lost their highly-regarded strength and conditioning coach Alex Corvo to cashed-up Brisbane.
"These are not measures we're saying will be brought in, but they are just things we are looking at," Doyle said.
"We don't want to penalise clubs who have excellent football departments, but it's just another thing that we're assessing."

City Hall Peregrine Falcons
Falcon fans from around the globe tune in to San José’s wildest reality show featuring Clara, a rare peregrine falcon who makes her home in a nest box located on top of a ledge on the 18-floor City Hall in San Jose. In spring 2006 it was reported to Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group that two peregrine falcons were perching on and around the San Jose City Hall. Although the birds were frequently seen during the spring months, it was determined that they were not (yet) a nesting pair. A nest box was installed by SCPBRG in 2006 in the hopes the pair might choose to nest there. The falcons remained in the area through the remainder of the year, and in early spring 2007 they were again frequently seen together in the area. They did indeed choose to nest at City Hall, and 3 eggs were laid in the nest box in March of that year. Since 2012, Clara has had a handsome new man in her life, a tiercel (male falcon) named Fernando El Cohete, which means "Fernando the Rocket" and have raised their young each January-April since then.
Clara and Fernando can be spotted year round but the nesting period is January-April usually.

4-Phase Smart Functionality:
1. Should I use an electric breast pump or a manual one?
Take a close look at your lifestyle, your finances and what your pumping needs will be. The right pump will not be the same for every mum. Talk to friends and family who have pumped before – they are often your best source for tips about what works and what doesn’t when pumping. Manual pumps are best for mums who won’t need to pump all that often. Manual pumps are often cheaper but do not offer the same range of functionalities as electric pumps and require you to use both hands whilst pumping.
You’ll want to choose a breast pump that works best for your needs. If you pump regularly, exclusively or will be away from your baby for several hours a day, then an electric breast pump will better suit your needs. The best electric breast pump you can choose is a smart electric pump with many different functionalities. Consider the make and model of the breast pump, too. Some are heavier or bulkier to carry around than others. Many electric pumps require an electric outlet while others require batteries. By choosing an electric breast pump like the Lola&Lykke Smart Electric Breast Pump, you can enjoy functionalities such as wireless use, which will allow you to move around more freely and to pump whenever you need to.
The Lola&Lykke pump operates in two phases: one to stimulate the let-down of your milk, and then the second for efficient expressing of the milk. This electric pump is surprisingly light with a multitude of functions, so you may also want to take this into account.
Another main consideration is compatibility between different pump bottles and the ability to easily store your breast milk. The Lola&Lykke breast pump is compatible with many standard baby bottles and storing expressed breastmilk is easy with the handy adapter, which allows you to pump directly into the milk storage bag and to feed your baby directly from it.
2. How should I prepare for breastfeeding?
Learning any new skill can be challenging at first, but stick with it, and the rewards will be worth the effort. Seek out the support of a lactation professional, friends, and family members or even an online community.
While it’s ideal to initiate breastfeeding right away, if your baby doesn’t have a strong feeding reflex or is having a difficult time latching, you can still get your milk supply off to a good start. Seek lactation support and begin expressing as soon as possible (ideally within two hours of giving birth.) Advocate for yourself and your baby and make your wishes to breastfeeding known to your healthcare provider, ideally before giving birth. Aim to express as often as your baby would feed – at least eight to ten times every 24 hours, including at least once during the night.
When a baby breastfeeds, they start with short, rapid sucks to stimulate your milk let-down reflex. Once your milk flows, they draw it out with slower, deeper sucks. Some pumps, like the Lola&Lykke Smart Electric Breast Pump are designed to make the switch automatically and have adjustable settings to let you adjust suction and speed for your comfort.
3. How often should I pump when I breastfeed?
The general rule of thumb is that mom should pump at the same times that her baby would normally feed. This will give her body the signals to keep making breastmilk based on the baby's needs. If you're trying to build up a stash of breast milk, try adding a pumping session after your first feeding session of the morning. You may not express much at first, but your body will quickly respond, and you'll be able to start storing milk. It's important to be consistent, though, because if you start pumping a few times a day to boost your milk supply and then stop, you may end of with plugged ducts.
4. When is the best time to pump?
If baby has just fed and is full and happy, but your breasts don’t feel empty, adding a pumping session can increase your milk production over time. Over the first 6-12 weeks, your body is working to regulate your milk supply so you have just the right amount baby needs. If there’s milk left in the breast after a feed, your body thinks it’s made too much and will start to produce a little less. If you want to have extra milk or increase your supply, expressing milk after breastfeeding will signal to your body that this milk is needed, and it will continue to make more
Remember that more milk is not always better. Regulating your supply to the amount baby needs is a good thing because it means relief from the discomfort of engorgement or from waking up with milk-soaked pajamas for your entire breastfeeding journey. Oversupply can also lead to challenges like plugged ducts. So start slowly and adjust your pumping routine to tell your body how much milk you want to make.
If you’ve tried pumping right after breastfeeding but were not able to express, try waiting about 30 minutes after a feed. This gives your body time to replenish before pumping, but also gives you time to replenish again before your next breastfeeding session. Try to plan for at least an hour between the end of your pumping session and baby’s next feed.
Many moms find that their milk supply is much stronger in the morning and have more luck adding pumping sessions early in the day.
5. How can I increase my breast milk supply?
You don’t need a freezer stock of breastmilk to feed your baby but we understand increasing milk supply is on the mind of a lot of breastfeeding mums.
Try to breastfeed your baby when she or he is hungry. For signs of hunger, you should be watching your baby, not the clock. Sometimes called responsive or on-demand feeding, this means breastfeeding whenever baby shows signs of being hungry. This helps your body figure out how much milk your baby needs to produce, especially early on.
Cuddling skin-to-skin has so many great benefits for baby, and it can help increase breastmilk supply, too. Skin-to skin contact helps you release prolactin and stimulates oxytocin, two important hormones in making breastmilk. Undress your baby down to the diaper and hold him or her against your bare chest. A blanket can keep everyone warm and cozy.
While the best way to establish a strong supply is to breastfeed on demand from the start, after about 4-6 weeks, you can add pumping sessions to increase your breastmilk supply. Breastmilk production follows the rule of supply and demand: The more milk you release, the more you will produce. So upping the amount you remove from your breasts will tell your body that baby needs more to eat. This teaches your body to make more milk. Adding a pumping session approx. 30 after breastfeeding can help increase breastmilk supply.
Massaging your breasts before a pumping session will stimulate the milk ejection reflex. Continue to massage your breasts during pumping to keep the flow going. This also helps to increase your milk’s fat content, which supports baby’s brain and nervous system development. Milk may come out through your nipples but it’s actually produced way further back in the breast tissue, so massage or compression of that tissue may improve pumping results.
You can also use a breastmilk collector whilst pumping. When you’re breastfeeding, oxytocin helps push the milk down the milk ducts and out of the breast, on both sides. This normally results in a wet nursing pad and wasted milk from the side baby’s not feeding on. A breastmilk collector applies a gentle suction to silently collect milk from one breast while baby latches on to the other.
Make sure you take care of yourself and get good nutrition, as this can have appositive effect on breastfeeding. Make sure you’re eating enough food to provide those extra calories and stay hydrated too because dehydration can reduce your breast milk supply.
6. What is the best way to store breast milk?
Some pumps, like the Lola&Lykke Smart Breast Pump, let you pump directly into a feeding bottle or a breastmilk storage bag which you can refrigerate or freeze. This is super-convenient and means fewer bottles to wash at the end of the day! Plus, fewer transfers from container to container mean there are fewer chances of spilling that hard-earned milk.
Storing your breast milk in single use breastmilk bags is a very convenient way of storing your milk. Milk bags are designed to lay flat for fast freezing and thawing to protect breastmilk vitamins and nutrients.
7. What are the storage guidelines for breastmilk?
The recommended maximum times for safely storing your fresh breast milk are as follows:
Room temperature (up to 25°C/77°F) – 4 hours after pumping
Refrigerator (up to 4°C/40°F) - 4 to 5 days
Cold packs/insulated container - 24 hours (or can move from cold pack to fridge or freezer up to this time)
Freezer (-18°C/0°F) – 6 to 12 months
The recommended maximum times for safely storing breast milk that has been previously frozen are as follows:
Room temperature (up to 25°C/77°F) – 1 to 2 hours
Refrigerator (up to 4°C/40°F) – 24 hours
Freezer (-18°C/0°F) - do not refreeze thawed milk
8. How do I use frozen breastmilk?
Take care when defrosting breast milk to make sure it’s safe for your baby:
- Breast milk can be defrosted in the fridge, normally in around 12 hours. Alternatively, hold the bottle or bag of frozen milk under warm running water (a maximum of 37 °C or 99 °F). Don’t leave frozen breast milk to defrost at room temperature.
- Once fully thawed, previously frozen breast milk may be kept at room temperature for a maximum of two hours or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Don’t thaw or heat frozen breast milk in a microwave or in boiling water. These can damage its nutritional and protective properties and create hot spots that could scald your baby.
- Thawed breast milk left at room temperature should be fed to your baby within two hours or thrown away.
- Never re-freeze breast milk once thawed.
Whichever method you choose, keep in mind that slower thawing means less fat loss. When you thaw the milk too quickly, it causes it to lose antibodies.
9. Why does thawed breastmilk smell and look different than fresh breastmilk?
That’s normal. This happens when women produce breastmilk that is high in an enzyme called lipase. While this enzyme helps digest the fat content in breastmilk, it can also affect the smell and taste of both fresh and frozen milk (it usually makes it smell and taste metallic or soapy). Women often don’t realize that their breastmilk is high in lipase until they freeze it because the changes to the milk take a few hours—or even a day—to take effect, so you probably wouldn’t notice the changes with fresh milk. If you’re concerned about your baby not wanting to drink the breastmilk, talk to your doctor to find out about a process to help neutralize the enzyme and lessen the smell.
10. How do I know if my breastmilk has gone bad?
Generally speaking, you’ll know that your breastmilk has gone bad if it smells rancid or sour. You probably notice that your breastmilk will separate naturally after you pump, with the fat rising to the top. When milk is still good, it mixes back together easily with a gentle swirl of the bottle. If your milk doesn’t do this or has chunks floating in it, you should throw out the milk.
11. How do I wean my baby off breastfeeding?
Weaning is a natural stage in your baby’s development. It is the gradual process of giving your baby other foods while continuing to breastfeed. Weaning can come with a lot of mixed emotions. You may feel excited at the new independence you and you baby can both enjoy, as well as some sadness as your baby moves to another stage in her life. This is completely normal. It's common to feel sad or mildly depressed after weaning while others experience anxiety and mood swings. Breastfeeding stimulates the creation of hormones like oxytocin which is often referred to as the ´love hormone´. Declines in prolactin, another hormone responsible for milk production, is often associated with feelings of well-being, calmness and relaxation. When you wean and these hormones decline, your emotions and mood can certainly change. When you are weaning, try doing this step-by-step rather than stopping abruptly as this may make the hormonal changes less noticeable.

Well, after realising (or even RIAlising if you like puns) that RIA services weren't cut out for non-Silverlight clients, I went searching for The Next Big Thing. Can't remember if I mentioned it, so I'll bore you by repeating it, but all of this investigation is for a big project I'm in that will need some sort of central data access point that can be used by all sorts of clients, most likely being WinForms, WPF (one of my colleagues is really excited about WPF), ASP.NET and Silverlight. Ideally, we want all of these to be able to use the same point of access for data, with the business logic behind that point of access.
RIA looked like the answer, but doesn't seem to play ball with anything other than Silverlight. So, I went looking at its big brother WCF. The idea was to build an end-to-end solution that had a WCF service on top of an entity framework model, and various clients consuming the service.
All went well at first (doesn't it always!). Building the service was surprisingly easy, as was consuming it in a WinForms and/or ASP.NET client. I tried the default configuration, which sends out objects that inherit from EntityObject, then moved on to adding a T4 template to generate POCOs (Plain Old CLR Objects). This has a big benefit over the first approach in that the objects sent out don't depend on the entity framework, and are more lightweight. The downside is that you lose the built-in change tracking, which is a shame.
With a big fanfare (well, not really, but you get the idea) I moved on to another T4 template, this time to produce STEs (Self Tracking Entities), which don't depend on the entity framework, but have change tracking built in. Now because WCF is a data service, the objects that get sent over the wire consist of the data, and not the methods. For this reason, you need to move the STE classes into a separate class library, so you can reference it on the client.
By the way, if this is all new or Chinese to you, I highly recommend Programming Entity Framework, as well as the MSDN entity framework videos, as these cover this stuff in detail.
Anyway, once I had the class library, writing a WinForms or ASP.NET client was pretty easy. I added a service reference to the WCF service, and away I went. Boosted by this success, I concluded that I had finally found the right combination of technologies. Ha, little did I know!
Where it all went wrong was when I tried to consume the same service from Silverlight. The first problem I encountered was that I couldn't add a reference to the STE class library in the Silverlight project, as you can only add references to other Silverlight projects, not plain old .NET ones (which, for the want of a better abbreviation, I'm going to call PODN - Plain Old Dot Net). Apparently this is more of a design issue than a technical one as, despite the claims to the contrary, Silverlight isn't really built on a separate framework from .NET, it's actually a byte-compatible one. With a little bit of fiddling, you can reference a non-Silverlight assembly in an Silverlight project. Whilst this works, I didn't really like the idea.
So, I experimented. The obvious solution was to build two STE class libraries, one in PODN and one in Silverlight. This failed miserably, I think due to the fact that the WCF service was trying to handle two different sets of objects at the same time. I got a cornucopia of exotic compiler errors that I never managed to fix, even after I removed the Silverlight class library from the solution.
After pouring out my tale of woes to Yossi, I gave up and went on to something else. He went off in search of other technologies, and I thought that was the end of it. It wasn't.
A rather excited Yossi called me yesterday to say he had spent far too much time on this problem, and had found out how to do it. Basically, it comes down to a bit of a fiddle, based on the way we think (probably totally inaccurately) how WCF works. As I mentioned above, WCF is a data service. I had assumed that it had an intimate knowledge of the classes it was sending out, and was therefore getting all mixed up about whether it was sending out PODN STEs or Silverlight STEs. It seems it isn't that clever, or at least isn't that worried...
WCF is a data service (did I mention this?), and all it seems to care about is being able to serialise the data at the server end, and the client being able to deserialise it. It doesn't actually seem to worry if you have the exact same type at either end, as long as the class members match enough to enable deserialisation. In other words, as long as there is a Customer object at either end, and that object has a Name property that is a string, WCF couldn't care if the class library is PODN, Silverlight or (possibly) any other technology you like.
So, all you need to do is physically copy the generated STE class files from the project that has the T4 template into a Silverlight class library, and reference that on your Silverlight client. Your WCF service doesn't know anything about this class library, as you copied the files without linking them. It thinks it's sending out PODN STEs, which it is. The client thinks it's getting PODN STEs, which in the case of WinForms and ASP.NET it is. However the clever bit is that you can generate a Silverlight class library, and then a Silverlight client will think it's getting Silverlight STEs. As the data side of the classes is the same in both cases, they can be serialised and deserialised without problems.
Yossi managed to build a solution with a Silverlight client and a WPF client using the same WCF service, even though they were referencing different class libraries.
The only downside to this is that if/when the model changes, you need to remember to copy the regenerated class files into the Silverlight class library and rebuild it. You don't get the automatic regeneration that you would have by linking the T4 template. However, until Microsoft come up with a better solution, it will do.
So, until we hit the next hurdle, we are back on track with WCF on the server and anything we like for the client.
