Just under a week ago, I posted online what I think is the first video of an oil & gas specific application of Google Glass. So far, the reception has been awesome, and FuelFix even expanded on my Google Glass posts by contributing a summary article on my thoughts towards to the technology.
Surprisingly, even within the oil & gas industry many professionals sometimes bemoan a certain slowness in adapting new technologies to the oilfield, especially ones that come from the consumer space. I say this is surprising because the oil & gas industry is EXTREMELY high-tech, and yet getting big oil companies to adopt iPhones (officially) took some time…
I shouldn’t have been surprised then that, despite the highly positive response I received towards my efforts, there were some skeptical comments, most revolving around the possibility of even taking Glass out into the field. Today still, cell phones for instance aren’t allowed in certain field areas: there would be catastrophic HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) consequences if a signal accidentally triggered a piece of equipment like a wireline gun.
People also commented on the robustness, or lack thereof, of the device. On that front, I completely agree, and even I don’t take it out of my house for fear of dropping it!
As I was thinking about this skepticism, it hit me as to why the industry can seem slow when it comes to adopting technologies which seem to have clear applications in the field, and for which there is a strong pull from professionals in the business: safety and practicality in the field.
In the case of a new consumer device, a manufacturing company has to account for some minor drops onto pavement, maybe a small volume of water, but generally the “extreme” use cases aren’t particularly extreme, and the consequences aren’t particularly catastrophic. In the oil & gas industry though, consequences can be fatal, so there is a process for everything. Really, there HAS to be a process for everything because operations are so complex and consequences so potentially disastrous that it’s necessary to engineer out uncertainty as much as possible.
If there are people now currently expressing some hesitation towards Glass (or similar, wearable technology) applied to the field, I see this more as a concern for their safety and that of their colleagues, rather than some inherent aversion to trying new products and ideas.
Here’s the thing though: while the solutions to these problems (interference with other equipment, sturdiness in the field) may end up being very tricky, the problem definitions are pretty clear. All one would have to do is consult the standards for equipment to be allowed in certain areas where a field engineer might take it, and alter the device accordingly to meet those standards.
I am convinced that those issues, while important, are peripheral, and some person or group will step up to address them provided the industry sees the bigger picture of how this technology can be applied. To me, that’s the really tricky part: finding a use case in the industry that makes people say “I have to have that”.
Let’s remember that currently, Google is looking to target consumers generally, so not only is this device still just technically a prototype, it has not been designed in any way to meet specifically any one industry’s safety requirements, and in fact it’s outsourcing the use cases to Google Explorers that can best figure out how to benefit from Glass!
For that reason, you will see me for the moment focus more on applications of this technology rather than the problems that will inevitably arise with trying to insert new technology into an field that already has very established processes. I want to generate interest, and then the solutions to these other (highly valid) problems will come about.
Yes, Glass looks awkward (now), and yes, it may not be as strong as most people would like (now), and no it may be ready for introduction onto a rig site (now).
Despite its flaws, when I see Glass, I see the future. Not only am I thrilled that I am able in some way to shape how this technology is applied to the oil & gas industry, I am also confident that this very high-tech business will eventually come around to the great benefits of Glass and all the possibilities it can offer once properly harnessed and understood.

In the Arabic language the word sirah Arabic: سيرة comes from the verb saara (present yaseeru), which means to travel or to be on a journey. A person's sirah is that person’s journey through life. It is the story of the person’s birth, the events surrounding it, his life and his death, and his manners and characteristics. In modern times this is still called sirat, like a resume is called a sirat or seerah sirat in the Arabic language. The name is often shortened to "Sīra", "Sīrah" or "Sīrat" ("life" or "journey").
In the Arabic language the word seerah comes from saara yaseeru.Linguistically it means to travel or to be on a journey. When we’re talking about someone’s seerah we’re talking about that person’s journey through life. You are talking about the person’s birth, the events surrounding it, his life and his death, and you are also studying the manners and characteristics of that person. In modern times we still call it seerah, like a resume is called a seerahor seerah dhaatihi in the Arabic language.
In Islamic sciences or the Sharee’ah7, seerah means the study of the life of the Prophet Mohammed (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), the last and final prophet and the messenger of Allah. It is the study of his life and all that is related to him. The information related to him would be like the events and aspects surrounding his biography. This would include knowledge of events that preceded his birth, his interactions and dealings with his companions, his family, the people around him, and also the events that occurred shortly after his death. No book of seerah stops at the death of the Prophet (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), it goes a little further in time or a few events further. And any seerah book usually talks about the Prophet (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)’s birth, his parents, his lineage, his tribe, and people that lived before him and the major events that took place around his (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) birth. Usually when a book on someone’s biography is written it is imperative that a little information about the people that the subject interacted and dealth with. The seerah of the Prophet (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) is no exception, it includes knowing about his companions, the disbelievers, the hypocrites, and the People of the Book tha the interacted with.
The original text of the Sīrat Rasūl Allāh by Ibn Ishaq (Medina, 85 A.H. –

Muḥammad ibn Isḥaq ibn Yasār (Arabic: محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار, or simply Ibn Isḥaq ابن إسحاق, meaning "the son of Isaac") (died 767, or 761 )was an Arab Muslim historian and hagiographer. He collected oral traditions that formed the basis of the first biography of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This biography is usually called Sirat Rasul Allah ("Life of God's Messenger").
Ibn Isḥaq was born circa AH 85, or roughly 704 CE, in
Ibn Isḥaq was born circa AH 85, or roughly 704 CE, in
There are no details of his early life, but in view of the family nature of early akhbār and ḥadīt̲h̲ transmission, it was natural that he should follow in the footsteps of his father and uncles and become specialized in these branches of knowledge. In 119 AH/737 CE around the age of 30, he arrived in
Ibn Isḥaq wrote several works, none of which survive. Apart from the Sīra an-nabawiyya he is credited with a Kitāb al-Ḵh̲ulafāʾ, which al-Umawwī related to him (Fihrist,92; Udabāʾ, VI, 401) and a book of Sunan (Ḥād̲j̲d̲j̲ī Ḵh̲alīfa, II, 1008).
His collection of traditions about the life of Muhammad also called Sīrat Nabawiyya or Sīrah Rasūl Allāh, survives mainly in two sources:
an edited copy, or recension, of his work by his student al-Bakka'i, as further edited by Ibn Hisham. Al-Bakka'i's work has perished and only Ibn Hisham's has survived, in copies. (Donner 1998, p. 132)
an edited copy, or recension, prepared by his student Salamah ibn Fadl al-Ansari. This also has perished, and survives only in the copious extracts to be found in the volumimous historian al-Tabari's. (Donner 1998, p. 132)
fragments of several other recensions. Guillaume lists them on p. xxx of his preface, but regards most of them as so fragmentary as to be of little worth.
According to Donner, the material in Ibn Hisham and al-Tabari is "virtually the same". (Donner 1998, p. 132) However, there is some material to be found in al-Tabari that was not preserved by Ibn Hisham. The notorious tradition of the Satanic Verses, in which Muhammad is said to have added his own words to the text of the Qur'an as dictated by a jinn is found only in al-Tabari.
The English-language edition of Ibn Ishaq currently used by non-Arabic speakers is the 1955 version by Alfred Guillaume. Guillaume combined Ibn Hisham and those materials in al-Tabari cited as Ibn Isḥaq's whenever they differed or added to Ibn Hisham, believing that in so doing he was restoring a lost work. The extracts from al-Tabari are clearly marked, although sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them from the main text (only a capital "T" is used).

It’s cold here in Austin, Texas.  Most folks don’t venture outdoors this time of year in fear of hypothermia, frostbite or, God forbid, chapped lips.  Not the four lads from Shivery Shakes.  They’re down at the lake wearing nothing but banana hammocks, racing their groupies in waverunners and speedboats.  Ya see, summer is a state of mind.  Pneumonia be damned.
Shimmery hooks and beach side harmonies await you.  There isn’t a bad vibe in sight, the beer is cold and the breeze is mild.  Take off your shoes and stay a while.  The only downside to Three Waves and a Snake is that the 10 tracks eventually end.  Facts of life, man.  Unlike a summer romance, though, you never have to say goodbye.  Just flip that record over and start it all again.
Say hello to Punctum Records and check out the lexicon of other great groups they’re producing after the ‘buy’ link.
The debut LP from Austin surf rockers Shivery Shakes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (UPI) The House and Senate Armed Services Committees are cutting the number of secret documents the Pentagon is able to declassify and release to the public, a move that could actually make it harder for the Pentagon to secure vital secret papers, experts warn.
According to the fiscal year 2000 defense authorization conference report released today, the committees are only allowing the Pentagon to spend $51 million a year declassifying documents that are historically significant and more than 25 years old, as called for by President Clinton in 1995. For the last three years the Defense Department has spent close to $200 million a year declassifying old records.
The edict puts a serious crimp in the Pentagon's ability to get rid of documents that no longer affect national security, says Steve Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy, in Washington, D.C.
"It's a big mistake. It's not just bad for government accountability, it's bad for security policy," Aftergood told United Press International.
The Defense Department spends $3 billion annually assuring secret papers are secured, a figure which includes physical protection, background checks and computer security. About 2 percent of that goes to declassification efforts.
"Declassification is an important component of an effective security program because it reduces the volume of information that has to be protected," allowing tighter security on those documents that are really important, Aftergood said.
Close to a billion pages are eligible for declassification review under Clinton's 1995 executive order 12958.
"New information is always being classified and added to the security system. It is vital it also be removed when necessary," Aftergood said.
The House and Senate report is expected to have the effect of reducing the number of documents declassified every year by about 75 percent. About 600 million pages have been released from federal government over the last three years. About half came from the Defense Department.
While the declassification spending limit has been dramatically lowered by the Armed Services Committees conferees, it is significantly higher than the House of Representatives originally wanted. The House had limited such spending to just $20 million a year in its version of the defense authorization bill.

I played a couple of hands of blackjack for the first time on my 21st birthday, and I’ve been playing ever since. I’m not a high roller, but I understand how to navigate a casino. Allow me to assist you if you are unsure where to begin.
Before you begin, there are a few things you should know.
Finally, you’ve arrived in a brightly lit, raucous casino. You’re full from the buffet and ready to roll the dice to see if fortune is on your side. Keep your wits about you, buckaroo. You may fantasize about winning the lottery and retiring to your private island, but this isn’t likely. Gambling is fun and may give you a wonderful rush when things go your way, but it’s not what it appears to be in the movies.
The house always has the upper hand.
Whatever game you play, the house (the casino where you wager) has an advantage. They don’t need the luck to win or make money; all they need are players like you. The odds are always in their favor. Know what you’re getting into before you go in, and never assume you have the upper hand in these games. One’s spectacular triumph pales compared to the house’s tens of thousands of victories.
The most important component in winning is luck.
In contrast to the home, you must rely on chance to generate money – for the most part. You can lessen the house edge significantly by playing wisely, which increases your playing time, but luck is still the most important factor in your success.
Begin by setting a limit on how much you can lose.
Gambling is not a viable source of income, and it is just for amusement. Before you step onto the casino floor:
- Decide how much money you can easily lose (i.e., for the rest of your life) and stick to it.
- Make a cash withdrawal and leave your debit card in your hotel room.
- Never take money out to make up for what you’ve lost.
- Set some limits for yourself.
- Don’t play if you can’t afford to lose it quickly.
Sorry. Gambling is not intended to help individuals overcome their bad luck.
Hot streaks don’t endure very long.
Consider resigning if you win and have more money than you started with. When your winning run ends, you glance at your chips and wonder where all your money has gone.
Finally, I propose that you check into the player incentives and awards given by the casino where you are gaming. Joining these clubs is usually free, and you may get swag, free casino credit, free meals, and even free stays in pretty luxurious suites. You’ve already paid to play, so why not take advantage of these programs? Seek out a customer care desk or inquire at the cash register.
Select the appropriate games to play.
Some games are better to play than others, depending on the sort of experience you’re looking for. Do you truly want to win money by using your skills? Do you wish to unwind and sip complimentary cocktails? Do you want to hold a stack of casino chips in your hands? Would you rather watch a machine that makes spectacular noises and effects?
If you want to win, choose games that require a certain level of talent and do not leave you naked and impoverished too soon. The games with the highest odds (or the lowest house edge) for players who know how to play are:
• The game of blackjack (a single card game, if available)
• Playing Video Poker (I suggest “Double Bonus” or “Double Double Bonus”)
• Stupidity (some bets)
• Baccarat is a game of chance.
I recommend this game if you want to have some fun with a simple to learn the game:
• Slot machines (note: penny slots do not cost a penny to play)
• The game of roulette (European roulette has slightly better odds)
• Keno is a type of lottery game.
You may obtain free beverages from the servers strolling about while playing slots (always tip). Roulette is the simplest table game; wager on where you believe the white ball will fall, such as odd or even numbers, red or black, or particular numbers (37:1 odds). When playing odds, evens, reds, and blacks, you have an almost 50/50 chance of winning. Thus it’s a rather fair game. Finally, keno is meant to be played while sipping a beverage, watching TV, smoking a cigarette, or engaging in other activities. You choose several numbers from a grid, put your wager, and wait for your numbers to show. Consider it a very little lottery.

Texas Southmost College’s IT Security team works to protect the college and its computing users from both internal and external threats. The Office of Information technology would like to remind you to always be vigilant of “phishing†attacks that use emails to solicit personal or confidential information.
Here are some clues to recognize phishing emails.
Always check the sender’s address. If an email is not from a tsc.edu address, but claims to be from TSC, it is probably not legitimate. Also, be aware that phishers may forge the sender’s address to make it look as though it came from TSC, even when it didn’t.
Watch where you are going. If an email directs you to a website, check the link before clicking it. Did you know that you can look at the address of a link in your email before you click on it? Most email programs will display the address if you hover your mouse over the link. One strategy is not to click on email links at all and instead go to the site directly. An example would be a message from your bank asking you to go to its website. Rather than clicking the link provided in the email, just type the bank’s address into your browser manually. Note that phishers often make fake websites that look like the real thing. Always check the address bar of your browser to make sure you are visiting the site you think you are visiting.
Never enter your user ID or password unless you have initiated the action. Entering your user ID or password to log on to a legitimate system is fine. However, you should never enter your credentials if requested in an email.
Remember: No TSC employee, even from IT, should ask you for your login credentials. If an email asks you for this information, delete it!
If you think your TSC user ID and/or password have been compromised, change your password immediately.

HelpAge is working with our local partner Coalition of Services to the Elderly (COSE) to support older people affected by Typhoon Bopha, which hit the Philippines in December 2012. The disaster affected over 5.5 million people and killed more than 1,000.
Older people are some of the nearly one million people displaced by the devastating typhoon which destroyed or damaged over 200,000 homes.
Distributing essential items
So far, with our partner COSE, we have distributed cooking and bedding supplies to around 500 older people. The first group to receive assistance was severely affected older people and their families from the town of Trento, Agusan Del Sur.
Older people in the municipalities of Rosario and Bunawan will also receive these basic and essential items, which include cooking pots, blankets, flashlights, bed mats and pain reliever lotion.
Most in need prioritised
High demand for relief supplies meant items had to be procured in Davao City and transported to Agusan Del Sur, where local community volunteers helped pack items ready for distribution.
Older people can face difficulties accessing relief supplies as they are often not able to queue at distribution points for long periods. To avoid this, local older people's assocations have prioritised those most in need and ensured items are distributed quickly and safely.

We don’t have HBO, so I didn’t have an opportunity to see the Martin Scorsese documentary on George Harrison when it aired last October. I’d heard good things about it, but knew I’d have to see it another day, another way.
About a month ago, a most unexpected second chance came along.
A publicist, a most rare cat who understands what goes on here at AM, Then FM — “I recall what you cover and what you do not” — offered a review copy of “George Harrison: Living In The Material World.”
So over the course of a couple of nights — the film is spread over two DVDs and runs 3 hours, 47 minutes — I sat down to watch and listen. Some thoughts:
« Having grown up in the time of the Beatles and having come of age in the time after the Beatles, this is a familiar story. There weren’t many revelations, at least for me. A younger person will see it differently. Regardless, the film is exceptionally well done, thorough and thoughtful.
« The first disc, which runs 1 hour, 34 minutes, stands alone nicely as a history of the Beatles filtered through the prism of Harrison’s experience. It ends, appropriately, with the story behind “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
« It’s interesting to be reminded of how Harrison got into movies, footing the bill to make the Monty Python troupe’s “Life of Brian” in the late ’70s. Less interesting, almost immediately, is a digression into the controversy over the film, which was seen by some as blasphemous.
« Harrison’s spiritual quest is a fascinating thread woven throughout the film. His widow Olivia, who co-produced the film, provides an astonishing account of the scene at his passing in November 2001.
« The music in the film — and there is plenty of it — brought a bittersweet realization. My knowledge of George Harrison’s music is wide but shallow.
I know all of the hits, from the Beatles to his solo years to the Traveling Wilburys. But some of the songs in this film, no doubt familiar to many of you, were new to me. I somehow have missed out. I need to go out and buy some more George Harrison records. Your recommendations are welcome.
The film’s companion CD is a start, and for that I am grateful. It features seven demos and three early takes of Harrison’s songs, all never before released. This is one, a demo prominently featured in the film for obvious reasons.
“All Things Must Pass,” George Harrison, from “George Harrison: Early Takes, Volume 1,” 2012. This was recorded in June 1970.
At 4:40, this demo version is almost a minute longer than the finished version on the LP of the same name.
Full disclosure: I received copies of the film “George Harrison: Living In The Material World” and the music CD “George Harrison: Early Takes, Volume I.” for review purposes. I promised only to watch and listen. I did not promise, nor was I asked, to say nice things.

this drive comes with winoncd3.6 software and considering it lacks the ability to burn mp3 files as cd audio tracks this can be a disadvantage. However software such as easy cd creator 4 can be purchased separately at a relatively low price. The drive is firmware upgradable which means that its performance can be upgraded as mitsumi release new patches, you will be likely to get a good 2000 cd's out of this drive. As with all CD-RW's it should be set to primary master so it has full control over the IDE channel. With the price of 8 speed CD-RW's becoming increasingly competitive then it might be worth spending an extra 10 pounds to get an alternative model.

For those of you reading this that don’t know me, I’m a huge fan of sound in general which, I guess, is pretty obvious based on the fact that I’m an audio engineer.
What maybe isn’t so obvious is how I look at sounds and what they mean to me, so I have decided to start a blog to give an insight into my world of sound and how I see it.
I am a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan and so to kick off the blog, I thought I would review their latest work “The Getaway”
The first thing I noticed about this record is how raw it sounds. The Peppers are not hugely know for a crisp ‘over produced’ sound but this is distinctively raw.
Let’s start with the drums. There isn’t a heck of a lot of ‘click’ or ‘top end’ in the kick drum and it sounds like it was probably not close mic’d but it gives a good low end thud and drives each song quite nicely, the snare is very interesting on this album as it is a complete 180 from what we know from a Chad Smith snare. Typically he likes to use a snare that has quite a quick and sharp attack and a nice high-mid range ring to it, this time around it has what I call a ‘biscuit barrel’ type sound. It matches the kick very nicely however and coupled with the ‘washy’ tone of the hats to go with it, the whole kit has a very old school, late 60s, early sound.
There are a lot of tonal similarities to the drum recordings of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham from the late 60’s and early 70’s.
It sounds like Flea has opted to use a jazz bass for pretty much the whole album and he is able to get such a broad range of sounds out of it. Over the course of the last couple of albums he has moved away from that very hi-fi Modulus sound and is now more into a deep woody tone. Don’t get me wrong, I love those precise, tight bass tones on tracks like “Around the world” and “Get on top” from the Californication era but Flea has matched the drum tone very well with his choice of bass on this album.
Playing wise, Flea is still as groovy as ever but as he evolves he is finding more ways to expand his pallet. It has to be said that when he is not playing slap on this album he is not as outstanding as he has been on previous records.
Josh offers a lot more than his previous turn recording with RHCP and the guitar tones on this album are very ambient and offer something a lot different to what we are used to. He still retains that classic funk Strat tone that you expect to hear when you play a Peppers record but he is exploring his own techniques a bit more and has now found his place in the band. I feel the guitars are mixed quite low as there is quite a lot of competition for space in the mix.
Let’s explore that a bit more… We are used to hearing only 4 instruments on 90% of Chilis songs but on ‘The Getaway’ there is a lot of piano and synth sounds that have to be worked into the mix. The more instruments you have the more difficult it becomes to give each instrument its own space while also blending with the other instruments. ( This is where mix engineers really earn the money!!!)
While we are on the piano, let’s look at the use. In the past, the peppers have used the piano to compliment a song but this time around it is very much a dominant instrument which adds a whole new dimension to the Chili Peppers sound. It is very intriguing to listen to Flea play his piano lines, we are so used to an extremely energetic slap/funk/pop/punk bass player but Flea, the pianist, is something quite different.
Elton John makes a guest appearance on “Sick Love” but I am left wondering what he actually contributed on the track. For me, it’s a bit of an odd guest appearance that one.
If there is one thing that does let this album down a wee bit then it may just be the vocals. Anthony is probably the only guy to have not moved too far away from what he usually does and sometimes those higher notes seem like they may have taken a few takes to capture. There is a very cool Vocal Solo in the final track “Dreams of a Samurai” and we realise that Josh is actually a brilliant backing vocalist on this album too.
I am a huge fan of John’s vocals from previous albums and I feel that Josh is finally realising exactly what the peppers need when it comes to a secondary vocal.
Overall, I do like this new album and I can’t seem to take it off repeat in my car, I’m giving it a 7/10
Top Track: I Absolutely love “We Turn Red” but also don’t miss “Encore” and “The Hunter”

Probe is a strategy board game pitting you against the
objective is to capture Probe's Flag before Probe captures yours.
The game board is centered with your piece tray on the left
and Probe's tray on the right. Pieces still on the board display as
dimmed in the trays. The identities of Probe's pieces remain hidden
until after attacks, just as the identities of your pieces remain
hidden from Probe. Pieces may not move into the two areas in the center
of the board that display as lakes in the game board design shown below.
Piece movement and captures are
explained in the Rules of Play, but,
in general, pieces
attack by attempting to occupy the square of the opponent. Captures are
determined by the rank of the piece, with lower ranked
pieces defeating higher ranked pieces.

After Steve Jobs tragic death, many of his quotes were being retweeted. Most, I had never heard before. One quote really hit me hard though. Why? I am not positive but it made me stop, think and even ponder after awhile.
“You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down…” – Steve Jobs
It made me think, what do I trust in? When my world seems ominous and unrelenting what is it that never seizes to amaze me? Is there something that makes me feel better about my future? Yes, there is. I believe everything happens for a reason, even if I don’t see it.
Having the faith in the way the world works has given me the tenacity to keep trying. My junior year spring term I was applying for internships for the summer. I applied for about 10 internships and had about seven interviews. From that, I narrowed it down to three I really wanted. I decided out of those three, one I really, really wanted. I thought I had this internship. I had an excellent resume tailored to the position, my interviews were spot on and I had a great connection with my interviewer. Then I got the call. “Hey Jen, this is the hardest call I have to make but unfortunately I am giving the internship to someone else.” Umm… ok. I asked why I was not chosen. She said “Well, I am not sure. You did everything right I just gave it to someone else.” Great, so basically I was doing everything right but for some reason I wasn’t good enough.
To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I had my site set and I heard the glass crushing around me. After my pity-party ended I checked my email. I had another interview scheduled. Not only was this internship at a corporation, it paid better and it opened my eyes to a whole new industry, health care. I ended up having an amazing summer and created connections that will lead me to my first job.
If I didn’t have my faith that everything happens for a reason I would not have accepted my second or third choice. I would have stayed in my comfort zone of Eugene all summer and would not have grown as a young professional like I did. Steve Jobs quote about trusting in something greater than yourself should be heard by all. If you don’t, well that sounds like a depressing life.

Let’s be real, in the US I maybe ate a croissant once a year. I just couldn’t justify the carbs, butter, and calories. It just was never “worth it” when it came to what I spent my calories on. However, that all changed in France. I went from (kinda) gluten free in the States to YOLO croissant life in France. I may be a bit tubbier from my month and a half of daily croissant petit dejeuner, but it was so worth it. Here’s a bunch of pictures of croissants, because really, who doesn’t love these buttery pillows of love?
Not to be blasphemous, but not all croissants are created equal. The perfect croissant pur beurre (pure butter) is so crispy and flaky on the outside that you cannot eat it without being completely covered in crumbs. The inside is fluffy, like a butter cloud.
Next there’s my personal favorite, croissant aux amande or almond croissant. This little gem is filled with the thinnest layer of almond filling, dusted with powdered sugar, and adorned with crispy thinly sliced almonds. It’s a bit of a sugar rush, but sugar is my drug of choice. A good croissant aux amande is crispy on the outside and not soggy or greasy. If your croissant aux amande is soggy, it’s not fresh.
While not technically a croissant, this next item falls into the “Viennoiserie” category. Brioche suisse au chocolate is another great option when you’re looking to mix things up.
While not to be forgotten, the Pan aux Chocolate is a corner stone of French viennoiserie. However, I was too busy eating all the other types that I didn’t get a photo. Here’s a stock photo to illustrate it’s glory.
Lastly, all croissant or viennoiserie MUST be accompanied by a coffee. In my case, it was always a cafe creme.
In the words of RZA from the Wu Tang clan (edited for croissant relevance):
(Croissants Rule Everything Around Me
Yeah, check this ol’ fly shit out
(Croissants Rule Everything Around Me) Take you on a butter high
(C.R.E.A.M. get the pastry) Here we here we go
(getcha getcha fill y’all) Check this shit, yo!
Even if you’re not in France, go out to your local bakery early, while everything is still hot, and cop a croissant, it’ll make your life better.

This new center will be headquartered in the facilities of the Technological Studies of Coacalco (Tesco).
In a virtual forum, they launched the new Center for Productivity and Innovation for Industry 4.0 (Ceprodi 4.0) headquarters of the State of Mexico, whose investment was 14.5 million pesos.
Enrique González Hernández, Director of Industry of the Ministry of Economic Development of the State of Mexico, said that this center will be the spearhead of Industry 4.0 in the entity, and thanked the support of the Mexico United States Science Foundation (FUMEC) for leading this project.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening of Ceprodi 4.0 was delayed. However, throughout August, the search will begin for companies wishing to implement Industry 4.0 projects as well as companies that want to train their engineers and technicians in digital technologies.
Half of the resources were contributed by the Ministry of Economy through its Prosoft program, and another 50% by the government of the State of Mexico and the companies that are founding partners of the center: Far Plastics, Raisa and Modern Precision.
Of the total resources, 80% were for equipment, 10% will be for training activities, and the remaining 10% will go towards supporting projects of companies interested in implementing Industry 4.0 technologies with funding of up to 70% of the total.
Guillermina Avendaño, coordinator of Industry 4.0 of FUMEC and project leader of Ceprodi 4.0, explained that this is the second center of its kind that starts activities, since the first was Ceprodi 4.0 in Querétaro and that before the close of this year, it is planned to open Ceprodi 4.0, Morelos headquarters.
The specialist explained while these centers will be available to all companies interested in new technologies, the truth is that each Ceprodi is focused on serving the vocation of the states as in the case of Querétaro, where the aerospace, automotive, and appliance industries predominate.
In the case of the State of Mexico, the focus will be on the plastics, automotive, and logistics sectors. In Morelos, the main vocation will be towards agribusiness.
The services offered by Ceprodi 4.0 is to make available to Tesco companies and students the equipment with the account, such as high-precision 3D scanners, 3D printers, professional software licenses for 3D modeling and simulation, and robotic laser cutting and welding cell, among others.
“Companies will be able to use the equipment whenever they want, including for training their own plant engineers, and those trainings and course costs are going to be virtually symbolic,” said Guillermina Avendaño.
In addition, Industry 4.0 courses will have lessons for managers and technical courses for plant operators. Companies that request it will be consulting to prepare and accompany them in their transition to adoption of digital technologies.

I couldn’t wait until my Autumn in R30/28/26 arrived. Shorter in the back and longer in the front with relaxed waves/curls this style is so me. Add a lace front and mono part and I’m in heaven. 😊
Below is a collage of what this wig looks like right out of the box.
You can see these waves are very relaxed. Once you run your fingers through them they get even more relaxed. This is not a curly wig. Its not a grown out version of ROP Sonoma. 😉
She is full..not because there is an abundance of hair but because there is a fair amount of permatease all over this cap. Does it bother me? No…and I’ll tell you why. You can’t see it..it just gives this style the look of volume without the weight of too much hair. It feels very light on my head. The hair moves well. It’s so comfortable I can wear it all day long and forget I’m wearing a wig. Having said that if you are opposed to permatease this isn’t the style for you. 😉
The above collage illustrates the beautiful body and waves of this style. Its not a true stacked bob. To me it looks like a slightly graduated bob with a layer of wispier longer waves over top this bob in the front and a little on the sides. You can see in the collage above how these curls/waves aren’t the same thickness as the rest of the wig. I would have preferred a more gradual cut and even hair density. But its still gorgeous..very chic.
The lace-front is very well done. I little extra lace to trim off but no a big deal to me. I think a full style like this looks more realistic if you can see the part. I buy soft silicone tape( any drugstore will carry it or online) and apply it to the inside of the cap…it hides my dark bio hair doesn’t hurt the monofilament features and is reusable.
I wore it on Christmas day and with this lace front I was able to clip it back so I could cook… It looked so darling.
What I love about Autumn is I can wear her with no makeup and be very casual or throw those false lashes on 😉 and go out to a fancy dinner.
After living with her a bit I decided to trim and texturize the ends in the front and sides. If I were tall or had a elegant neck I would keep those long waves in the front.
Below illustrates the before and after customizing Autumn. I love her even more now if that’s possible.
This color! ❤️ What can I say that hasn’t already been said before. Its beautiful. I love reds and blondes and this color gives me a little of both. The take away here is if you love relaxed curly styles but don’t want a long wig then Autumn is just right. Short in the back longer in the front. You get the best of both worlds..oh and don’t be afraid to customize your wigs….ENJOY!

While doing laundry is meant to get your clothes clean, the truth is that conventional laundry detergents can include chemicals that are harmful to you and the environment.
The sneaky part is that, unlike personal care products, cleaners manufacturers don’t have to share what goes into their products.
If you take a look at the label on conventional laundry detergents, you won’t find a clear list of ingredients. Instead, you’ll see generic terms like “surfactant” and “fragrance”. To find out what those mean, you have to dig deeper.
Some information is on manufacturer websites, some you have to request specifically from the manufacturer, and the rest you often have to go all the way to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
What’s The Problem With Laundry Detergent?
Environmental Working Group’s (EWG), Guide to Healthy Cleaning, is like a Report Card for household cleaning products. It is American, so don’t be surprised if your locally-made Canadian detergent isn’t on it.
But if you’re a lover of bigger name brands, you can look up the ingredient list to see how they fare and get more details than what’s on the product label.
Like any system that tries to compare a broad range of variables, EWG’s rating systems aren’t perfect. But despite its faults, it provides a better overview of what’s in cleaners than anything else I’ve seen.
Many laundry detergents advertise that they are phosphate-free – this is an example of “greenwashing”. Canada banned phosphates in the 70s (and in dishwasher soap in 2010). It makes a product sound responsible, but hiding amongst the non-disclosed ingredients may be carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, allergens, and chemicals that contribute to asthma symptoms.
The single “fragrance” or “parfum” ingredient may contain any number of harmful chemicals such as allergens, carcinogens, and hormone disruptors. The EWG Guide also indicates common ingredients that are not biodegradable and are toxic to aquatic life.
So what’s a health- and environmentally-conscious mama to do, when labels don’t tell you everything you need to know about a product?
Limit purchases to products that have full ingredient disclosure, or certified by a third party (like Green Seal or EcoLogo). Green cleaners are better for you and the planet but come at a cost premium.
A Homemade Laundry Soap Recipe
A more cost effective option is to make your laundry detergent; I use the recipe in the video for everything from delicates to cloth diapers, and I’m not usually a DIY person.
I also recommend that you avoid conventional dryer sheets and fabric softeners. Instead, try reusable dryer sheets, wool or plastic static-eliminating balls, or vinegar instead of fabric softener in your washer.
Watch the video to see how I make my own natural laundry detergent:
Here’s the laundry soap recipe if you’d rather not watch the video:
- Castile Soap in a bar (I like Dr. Bronner’s Baby Mild or unscented)
1 cup Borax (See Below)instead use 1 cup Baking Soda
- 1 cup Washing Soda
- Grate the soap using a hard cheese grater.
- Dump all three ingredients into a mason jar.
- Shake up the ingredients.
- If the castile soap you are using doesn’t come in fragrance and you want some, add a few drops of your favourite essential oil.
Add 1-2 two tablespoons in your laundry load. Shake every so often as the ingredients can settle in the jar. Make sure you label all your jars so no accidents occur. Just because it’s a green cleaner, doesn’t mean it can be ingested!
Let’s address the issue of Borax
Recently, Health Canada identified the possibility that Borax could be harmful for health, particularly fertility and development. Here’s my take on why you may want to take the precaution and remove Borax from your homemade cleaners.
Eco Friendly Laundry Detergents
If you’re not into DIY laundry soap, or if you like to have a store-bought alternative on hand, here are some packaged green detergents that work for me:
EcoMax: A Canadian company (and therefore not on EWG’s Guide), the products are made in Canada and are EcoLogo certified. They use outer cardboard packaging and a recyclable inner soft bag and a concentrated formula to reduce the amount of packaging and transportation emissions. It works on cloth diapers too (with help from odour-fighting vinegar in the pre-wash cycle).
EcoNuts Soap Berries: Soap berries are actual berries, harvested from wild trees in the Himalayas. The berry shells contain natural soap called saponin that lifts dirt and softens clothes at the same time. I don’t love that the soap berries are from so far away, but the packaging is minimal (a simple cardboard box), and one package lasts up to 100 loads.
Do your family and the environment a favour and detox your laundry routine.
By choosing eco-friendly laundry products, you’re reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals and not contributing to poor water quality in our lakes and rivers. And by buying better, you’re telling manufacturers that you care about what goes into your products and that you’re putting preference on products that fully disclose ingredients.
What are your favourite green laundry tips and tricks? Plus, find out how cleaners can impact your home’s indoor air quality.

AUSTRALIAN Finance Group processed $3.1 billion of mortgages in October - its highest volume for any October on record, and for any month since March 2009.
October volumes are generally lower than those for September, but last month bucked the trend being 14.6 per cent higher than the month before.
The volume was also almost a quarter greater than for October 2011.
Refinancing was not the driver for mortgage volumes last month, with the level of refinancing (34.8%) at its lowest level than since September 2009.
AFG general manager of sales and operations Mark Hewitt said the group was not seeing a surge of confidence sweep across the country, but different categories of borrowers in different states were feeling more comfortable about taking on loans.
"New South Wales is by far the most popular state for investors, while WA is leading the way for First Home Buyers," Mr Hewitt said.
In New South Wales, loans for investors comprised 43.1% of all new loans, compared with 35.1% in Queensland, 33.6% in Victoria, 32.2% in South Australia and 29.9% in Western Australia.
In Western Australia, loans for first home buyers comprised 25.2% of all new loans, compared with 18.3% in Victoria. 15.0% in Queensland, 12.8% in South Australia and 5.7% in New South Wales.
One in five new borrowers chose to fix their loans (20.8%), somewhat lower than last month high of 21.5%.
Loan to value ratios, which are new loans stated as a percentage of property values, rose to 70.5%, the highest level since September 2009.
Higher LVRs typically signal increased first home buyer activity and/or increased confidence among borrowers.

Bob Berry — DPS Telecom, Founder & CEO
Persistence, dedication, and vision are the words colleagues use to describe the personal qualities of Robert A. Berry - qualities that have led Berry from building robots in high school to building a company that is a leader in remote network telemetry.
Bob is the founder and CEO of DPS Telecom, one of the nation's leading developers of integrated network alarm monitoring solutions. The growth of DPS Telecom from a small consulting firm to an Inc. 500 company has been through the guidance of Bob's persistence, dedication and vision.
Growing up in the rural town of Reedley, California, Bob developed an interest in new technology early in life. He began studying electronics in the sixth grade, and he spent his senior year in high school designing and building a computer-controlled, self-navigating robot, a project which won major awards at the Fresno County Science Fair that year.
What makes Bob's youthful accomplishment even more impressive is that he had learned everything he knew about electronics on his own. In fact, it wasn't until college that Berry heard the word "schematics," long familiar to him from his reading, said out loud-and learned, unfortunately, that his own pronunciation, "shemetics," was incorrect.

Comfort Food Season
- Salbert Dec 10, 2006 11:43 PM
With a bit of snow and dip in the temparture--- wher are people heading for "comfort food"?
- The original comment has been removed
Definitely CF Donovan's in Savin Hill for, well, just about anything! (Pumpkin ravioli, pizza, steak tips, burgers, turkey dinner)
Moules-frites at Burren, clam chowder at Jacob Wirth (I also frequently get this at John Harvards with some good beer), fried clams and all else at Neptune, seafood waterzooi at Publick House (my new favorite).

The house has gorgeous views and Valerie helped arrange the perfect schedule for us.
We had 8 guests at Casa Dolce Vita for a week in February. The house was exactly as described - with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. Our host Ricky was accessible as needed and let us in the house as soon as we arrived to town. Valerie was amazing in the pre-planning process and helping to arrange all our excursions (everything was well executed). We greatly enjoyed the maid service + our chef Stephane, which added to our relaxation and overall vacation. We would love to return to Casa Dolce Vita. Manuel Antonio is a beautiful location.

Casa Dolce Vita- Amazing!
This was a beautiful place. Nothing can beat the view! The monkeys come right up to the house. The kitchen and living space is open so be sure not to leave food out or the monkeys will come take it!
Wonderful Stay, Wonderful Time !
Wonderful stay at Casa Dolce Vita. Everything as described and pictured. This is a truly unique home with fantastic ocean (and monkey) views...
We couldnt imagine a better stay or better hosts
We stayed 2 weeks in Il Nido and absolutely loved everything about it. The "apartment" is clean and has everything one needs including hair drier and straightener on European voltage...
Amazing views and tucked away location
The house is outstanding and the pictures don't really do justice to the amazing views and tucked away location. Our children spent hours by the pool in-between the numerous nearby activities...
Living with the monkeys !
Celebrating family birthdays, Casa Dolce Vita was a perfect Villa for us. Not having a car, the location made the beach, restaurants, bars, and shops accessible...
A group of ten of us stayed at Casa Dolce Vita in Manuel Antonio for our Spring Break vacation. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay here! First off...
First, what a fabulous home! The Casa Dolce Vita is perfect! I did not see, nor could I imagine a nicer spot to stay! Second, the Costa Rican people are so nice and so helpful! Third the jungle is such an amazing place-so incredibly alive and active! I can only add that the monkeys stole our hearts-they seemed to know how much we loved them and responded by allowing us to be very close to them-they fed out of our hands! We leave with our hearts full of the spirit of Costa Rica and we hope to return one day!"

5) Updated, but not yet final, vote results from last Friday in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race compiled
by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
showed Justice David Prosser
ahead of Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg
by 6,744 votes out of nearly 1.5 million cast. If Kloppenburg remains close enough to Prosser in the statewide tally -- within half a percentage point -- she could ask for a statewide recount and not have to pay the cost.
Meanwhile, Prosser's camp says they are open to a recount in Waukeksha County, where a spreadsheet error last week caused thousands of votes to go uncounted in the initial tally -- an error that was corrected later and netted Prosser thousands of votes. Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken
: "That is their talk. Once again, we're evaluating the data, looking at what we've got."
4) Wisconsin state Rep. Jennifer Shilling
her candidacy Saturday to run in a potential recall election against incumbent state Sen. Dan Kapanke
(R). Volunteers collected more than the necessary number of signatures to trigger a recount election for Kapanke, but the signatures must be verified.
3) Lawmakers and the White House narrowly averted a government shutdown late Friday, coming to terms on a budget agreement late Friday evening. But attention has already turned to the next battle
, as lawmakers from both parties warned on the Sunday talk shows that a bigger fight is yet to come over whether to raise the nation's debt ceiling.
2) Obama has his own major economic address
coming up later this week. In a speech on Wednesday, Obama will call for Republicans to join him in writing a broad plan to raise revenues and reduce the growth of popular entitlement programs. Obama will urge bipartisan negotiations toward a multiyear debt-reduction plan that administration officials said would depart sharply from the one proposed last week by House Republicans.
1) Pawlenty will announce today that his presidential exploratory committee has hired Nick Ayers
as campaign manager, Hotline On Call
has confirmed. Ayers is a highly respected GOP operative served as executive director of the Republican Governors Association for the past two cycles, helping lead the association to record fundraising in 2010. Ayers will start April 25.
"He is without question one of the best political talents in America. We are very excited Nick will lead our team," Pawlenty will say of Ayers, later today. Fox News first reported the news

Salmon is my absolute favourite fish, and it is so versatile. I’m often asked what I like to serve with my salmon though and I’m delighted to share some of my favourite ideas. Let me know in the comments what you like to have with your salmon too!
I also adore rice, and so salmon on a bed of rice can be a really delicious but simple meal. For those on a health kick, or unable to eat white rice for other reasons, brown rice can be just as nice and filling. For when you are on the go, and looking for a meal deal for your lunch, look for salmon and rice together in sushi boxes which are available from a variety of retailers such as Boots and Tesco. They are often a much healthier option than a sandwich. You can also try making your own (I’ve done this – and it’s surprisingly easy and a lot of fun).
A jacket potato can be a delicious and filling option to service with your salmon. Look for a fluffy choice when doing your shopping, ideally potatoes sold as baking potatoes, or varieties such as Maris Piper or King Edwards. Whilst jacket potatoes can be done in the microwave, we would always recommend where time allows to cook them in the oven as they do tend to come out that bit fluffier and the skin that bit crispier.
When serving with salmon, add a little butter and a hint of sour cream to the jacket potato and you will have a very simple but very delicious meal.
I personally think that salmon tastes better with green vegetables, such as peas, runner beans and spinach, however if there are other vegetables you like the taste of, include them with some green vegetables and make a big bowl of mixed vegetables to serve with your freshly cooked salmon. The great thing about vegetables are that they are super healthy and low in calories so they are perfect for healthy eating, weight loss, or the majority of any other dietary requirements you may come across – perfect for eating for one, and for when you are entertaining others.

Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should Felons Who Have Completed Their Sentence (Incarceration, Probation, and Parole) Be Allowed to Vote?"
"Finally, we should recognize that the new phenomenon of imprisonment and reentry also has profound consequences for our democracy and our pursuit of racial justice.... In more than a dozen states, a convicted felon loses the right to vote -- for life. Thirty-two states prohibit offenders on probation or parole from voting. As a result, nearly 4 million Americans, one in fifty adults, is barred from voting. Of these, 1.4 million are African American, accounting for 13 percent of the adult black male population. In states with lifetime bans, the consequences for democratic participation are deeply disturbing. One in four -- one in four -- African American men have lost the right to vote for life in Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Mississippi, New Mexico, Virginia and Wyoming."
"Prisoner Reentry Seen Through a Community Lens," Luncheon Address, Aug. 23, 2001
Experts Individuals with PhD's, JD's, or equivalent advanced degrees in fields relevant to felon voting issues. Also top-level government officials (such as foreign leaders, US presidents, Founding Fathers, Supreme Court Justices, members of legislative bodies, cabinet members, military leaders, etc.) with positions relevant to felon voting issues.

Back in June we brought word that Konami's would be bringing the first full licensed Contra game to Android called Contra: Evolution. The porting / remaking of the original Contra game was done by CocoaChina/Chukong who secured the rights to handle this project and since our last article about Contra: Evolution making its way to Android, the game has already been released onto iOS. It is, however, now available for Android users as well.
As we mentioned above, Contra: Evolution is a complete remake of the original Contra game, built from the ground up specifically for mobile screens. That means it isn't just a straight port with mucky controls and graphics that don't properly fit the screen. The entire game was rebuilt using the open-source cross-platform 2D game development engine Cocos2d-x.
Contra: Evolution Features:
- Gameplay inspired by the original Nintendo Entertainment System Contra game - Four unique playable characters – two classic, two new, and each with individual strengths and weaknesses - Classic arcade-style run-and-gun action across seven levels - Power-ups like the Spread shot and Laser boost your firepower - Stunning visual style powered by Cocos2D-x engine
Even though the game has been rebuilt for mobile it still features all the difficulty that the original game had. If you've played the original game then you know that later on as you progress through the game that it does get quite difficult. Contra, for those of you not familiar with this franchise, is a running and gunning side-scrolling arcade game that became quite popular back in the day.
This Thursday has already started off quite good with this game's release as well as Aspahlt 8: Airborne finally hitting Google Play, so we can hopefully see more awesome games coming out today. For those of you looking to pick this game up, you can do so off of Google Play for $0.99.

President Joe Biden has asked everyone to wear a mask to help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Healthcare professionals at Saint Francis Hospital knelt along Ridge Avenue in July of last year in the silent demonstration “White Coats for Black Lives.”
From now until April 30, the RoundTable will post a photo of someone wearing a mask to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Please send photos of yourself, your family or friends wearing a mask to email@example.com. Include a short note if you wish.

3:00 AM. The wind is heavier... fairly steady at about 22-25 and gusts of up to 35. We were sound asleep until the dog decided to freak out. Still no thunder or lightning, just the wind bouncing around the trees.......and the dog panting. Wish he'd learn to do that without drooling. It gets the pillow and the bed wet. Brain keeps trying to crawl under the pillows. News says that there were fires in Galveston, three historic buildings burned. There's also a fire in an apartment complex in Houston. I hope no one was hurt. How terrible to lose one's home to fire during a hurricane.

I talk to my hands and ask them
to tell me what they have felt
in sixty years and more,
A million mugs of steaming tea
barrels of porter in pints
the handle on my fathers door,
and the grip of many a spade
shiny with spit and sweat
from biting the sticky clay
to find the golden wonders
and black champions,
the twine on bales of hay.
Footballs with laces
the reins on the stubborn ass,
diamonds, hearts and spades,
screwdrivers, saws and hammers
handlebars, saddles and pumps,
razors with throwaway blades.
Shakes with other hands
“I'm sorry for your loss”
countless hello's and goodbyes,
brylcreem and carbolic soap
Windsor knot propping Adams apple
buttons on schoolboy flies.
Ash plants on bullock backs
the mane of a white-eyed ass
foot stretched neck of a goose,
the profile of scratchy stubble
the slap of another wrist
twin fists turned loose.
The turning of calendar pages
and leaves of all those books
fiction of poetry and prose
the weight of the gravel earth
at the grave of parted friend
the ritual of putting on clothes.
The feel of my children's faces
the crossing at Angelus bell
pulling the belfry rope,
the fingers of a lovely woman
twining in a casual touch
delivering a message of hope.
The good the bad and the hopeless
they've felt, the sun and the rising damp,
the flick of a switch, then light.
The power of the beating pulse
at wrist, and heart still ticking over
when eyes won't work in the night.
Friday, 24 January 2014
I went to the wake with Jim because
the man was dead that was,
now paddling across the great water.
He wasn't my favourite man
A 'cant do', 'wont do' man,
He wrote the text; the author.
Just another spoke in the sameness wheel
he was, a hollow tree-trunk still.
Mouth, a cave furnished with a few white chairs,
The living viewing the sockets of the dead
Denying that they were or went,
History guarded like scandalous affairs.
Eyes, battle- scarred scary marbles
Staring at the contrapuntal lines of life,
As much direction as a yolk broke egg,
He couldn't forsake his own distress
his repeated route, tedium crawl of the unreal,
Cup overflowing with draught, a dreg.
He tripped on the shadow of barbed wire
and fell into no man's sea of dark,
All cats are black in the night.
The valleys in his face were once cheeks
propping up his nose and brow,
He opened up the window to let out the light.
Ignorant of being ignorant, he was,
A grain of silt in Sahara's sand,
A squirrel spit on a petrified tree,
I went to the wake with Jim because
the man that was, was dead.
His life was cheap, his death was free.
(Tis said you should never speak ill of the dead; this doesn't mean you should abandon the truth)
Thursday, 23 January 2014
Conscience of a nation to his children
olive tones and texture in his sallow skin
went to the God of all colours in winter
when the world is outside white.
And white hearts are black
living in skin stretched and mottled
by the sun of African skies
where his spirit flies.
Like Gandhi, a lawyer condemned
by the laws of his peer
he knew no fear of the dark
which was his manger
his refuge in danger.
They slapped the other cheek
and still he smiled
he knew they could not hurt him
with their wild accusation
they could not stop the rebirth of his nation.
Christened by his teacher on his first day at school
he had no paper or stool, no stub pen,
he could ask only why and when.
Accused of high treason; no reason,
Patience patented was his sword and shield
honed and polished on the penance field
of Robben Island's lime pits of the free
and Thatcher and Reagan held the key.
South Africa belongs to all who live in it,
black and white, genius and half wit.
“authority is based on the will of the people”,he said,
“this land is owned by the living and dead."
We have been brutalised by an invading nation
They dont know truth, or reconciliation.
He went gladly to his maker on December five
One of the chosen few; dead but still alive.
(in memory of Nelson Mandela, named after a pirate)

By Nantoo Banerjee
An unnecessary controversy is being created about India’s ‘untenable’ fiscal deficit for the financial year 2017-18 as it reached 96.1 per cent of the budget estimate towards October end, lifted by an increase in expenditure. Similarly, the growing criticism by certain interest groups about large non-performing assets (NPAs) with the majority of state-controlled banks would appear to be unwarranted, if not uncalled for, given the developing status of India’s economy and importance of most of the defaulters’ stalled projects. Firstly, there is nothing wrong in the government’s large budget deficits, if meant for supporting basic industrial projects, housing and infrastructure, creating large number of jobs, raising income and demands. That will also induce profit-oriented private sector firms to invest and progress and, in the process, further grow the economy. It is time that India, once again, starts flirting with the widely repudiated theory of Keynesian economics. Developing China’s emergence as the world’s second largest economy owes a lot to both large deficit financing by the state between the mid-1970s and 1990s and, once again, in 2008 and 2009, to expand infrastructure and core industries, defence manufacturing. China also controlled the exchange rate of Yuan to subsidise export production to earn precious foreign exchange and enhance local employment. China’s commercial banks mostly maintained a very high level of NPAs — much higher than what India witnessed in recent years. China’s policy makers were not concerned.
China’s post-Mao communist leadership had selectively used the Keynesian economic theory to its great advantage although it took over 20 years for John Maynard Keynes’s “General Theory” to be translated into Chinese. It was first published in China in 1957, around the time of Mao Tse Tung’s “anti-rightist” campaign. Mao started his famous agrarian revolution to unite millions of farmhands to promote communism in China. Uniting industrial workers and state promotion of large industries came later. In 1950, China, now the world’s largest steelmaker, produced even less steel than India. Post-Mao, Chinese leaders selectively followed Keynesian economics for rapid industrial growth. Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao embraced Keynesian economic prescriptions with great determination. In 2008, they handled the country’s financial crisis by approving a large stimulus package and spurred the country’s banks to lend.
In Japan, most large commercial banks too maintained high rates of NPAs during its fastest growth years between the 1970s and 1990s. How many Indians today remember Japan’s Dai-Ichi Kangyo, the world’s largest bank during the latter part of the 20th century? It was created in 1971 by a consortium of Dai-Ichi, Japan’s oldest bank, and Nippon Kangyo Bank, a state financial institution that granted long-term loans to industry and agriculture. The bank served its purpose for several years before it sulked under high NPAs. It had to be merged with Fuji Bank and Industrial Bank of Japan to form Mizuho Financial Group in 2000, without creating any panic among its depositors and creditors. It was restructured again, the very next year.
India’s initial ‘socialistic pattern’ of economy built in the 1960s and1970s were substantially designed on Keynesian prescriptions of deficit financing and job creation. The government created a large public sector to provide a big industrial boost for growth of the private and co-operative sectors since the1980s. India’s private sector business did not have enough money to invest big in the core and infrastructure sectors. Family-run commercial banks were nationalised to support the government and private investments, expand branch network and create jobs for growth.
However, the government focus radically changed since 1991, after a foreign debt crisis and half-hearted World Bank-IMF guided economic reform that slowly conceded the industrial turf to foreign direct investment, according to overseas investors’ choice. Keynes was quickly forgotten. The focus shifted to deficit control, market forces, large trade imbalance, foreign borrowing and floating Rupee. For long, India’s private sector entrepreneurs have been drawing excess funds from nationalised banks for their projects by inflating project costs and colluding with banks. Excess funds were mostly diverted by those entrepreneurs to float another company or support other projects. Inflated project cost led to high production cost. Some turned NRIs to run away from the country with such funds, running their India business from outside. It would be wrong to assume that a developing economy such as India should at this point of time strictly follow the patterns of highly developed economies in Europe and North America on deficit management practices and commercial bank asset quality norms.
India’s anemic private sector and signs of fatigue in the property market point to the increasing needs of the government to provide additional stimulus to swell the economic growth target to 7.8 per cent in 2018-19 and 8.5 to 9 per cent in the next two years. Investments in roadways, railways, inland waterways, mass housing, rural digital connectivity and defence manufacturing should drive this growth. The government should not worry about budget deficits for such a purpose. Banks must play their part to boost overall domestic spending through credit expansion, hallmark of Keynesian policies. Massive job cuts in the private sector will have to be more than matched by creation of new jobs through public spending in new projects. If necessary, Rupee may have to be devalued to encourage exports and compress imports. The policy will strongly support the government’s ‘Make-in-India’ programme. In 1935, John Maynard Keynes wrote to George Bernard Shaw: “I believe myself to be writing a book on economic theory which will largely revolutionise – not, I suppose, at once but in the course of the next ten years – the way the world thinks about its economic problems.” And, true to his words, Keynes’ magnum opus — The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money — published in February 1936, transformed economics and economic policymaking round the world. Eighty-two years on, the Keynesian theory still holds up in developing economies, including India.

Gift Packs for Special Ocassions
Gift Packs for Special Occasions
Gift packs convey emotions, thoughts, and impressions that linger for a lifetime. You can say a thousand words and show a million emotions with a thoughtfully and expertly curated gift pack.
Gift Packs with a Difference
Gift packs come in different varieties ranging from skincare sets to candle collections to gourmet food and drinks and other items of note. However, these all-too-familiar items are becoming a bit stale and clichè.
You probably want something that is an exception to the norm — a gift set that is truly special and thoughtful. Stonewood Collections is an online store that is attuned to your unique needs. The outlet offers a stunning selection of homeware and kitchen products that are practical, visually arresting, and handmade to perfection. Items include cheese boards, grazing platters, serving boards, cutting boards, and coasters.
What makes the collection stand out is the carefully-curated assortment of gift packs that combines the finest chopping boards, cheese boards, and coasters. All are manufactured from the highest quality Australian Camphor Laurel Timber and Travertine.
The Beauty of Camphor Laurel
A standout feature of the Stonewood Gift set is the inclusion of Camphor Laurel Timber. This breed of timber is widely acclaimed for its inherent anti-microbial properties which stave off toxic microorganisms that tend to penetrate wood-derived boards and the foods that are processed or served on them. The timber is processed using the kiln drying method, a stringent procedure that ensures the chemicals do not penetrate the board nor contaminate the foods therein. Thus, it is wholly safe for use and an exceptional gift idea for you or your loved ones.
The Camphor Laurel gift set with wooden coasters makes the perfect wedding anniversary, birthday, or housewarming gift. It is everlasting, beautiful, and functional to the hilt. A walk through the collection reveals an irresistible display of cheese board gift sets, cutting board gift packs, and chopping board set in various specifications to satisfy your wants and needs.
The Timeless Travertine Coasters
Travertine coasters are the ultimate housekeeper’s dream! They combine form and function to deliver an aesthetically-pleasing service. Not only do they enhance your decor, but they also protect your furniture from scratches and spills. The coasters at Stonewood Collections are sealed to amplify their protective function. Travertine is a naturally occurring stone that is widely recognized for its durability. It is highly resistant to wear and tear, which translates to evergreen durability. You can conveniently use the coasters to serve hot or cold drinks without worrying about spillage or scuffs.
You can trust the travertine stone to keep your furniture protected from the elements. The stone is also naturally absorbent and will absorb spills or condensation from drinks. As such, your furniture will remain squeaky clean, and dry. This quality also makes it easy to clean— a simple wipe will take care of any lingering spills. All features considered, travertine coasters are the ideal gift idea for people you hold dear to your heart. People appreciate meaningful, memorable, and valuable gifts and travertine coasters fit the bill.
Gifts that Keep on Giving
No gift pack compares to the combination of Camphor Laurel boards and Travertine Coasters! Whether you want something for yourself or a gift for others, look no further than these gift packs from Stonewood Collections. They are full of quality, value and will leave an unforgettable impression.
The store prioritizes customer satisfaction and goes above and beyond to deliver superior-quality products. The gift packs are handcrafted with love and tell a timeless tale of elegance, warmth, and humanity.

OverviewThe Hawksbill loop is a three mile loop referenced as the Appalachian Trail route on the main page. It starts with a steep 700' hike up to the summit in less than a mile, and then winds gradually back to Skyline Drive on the side of the mountain with excellent views. An added bonus to this route is the opportunity to take additional time (if not satisfied with just a three mile hike) to climb up boulder fields and even cliff tops if you are feeling adventurous.
Getting ThereAs noted on the main page, the trailhead is off of Skyline Drive. If you are coming from the North (which is often the case for Northern Virginia travelers) you must reach the small parking area around milepost 45.6, referred to as the Hawksbill Gap Parking area. If you are coming from the North, you'll see that the trail starts on the right side of the road. There you'll find a route description. The loop trail starts and ends at the Hawksbill Gap parking area. It is much better to start with the trail that heads right up to the summit.
Route DescriptionThe trail to the summit is just short of a mile and is straight-forward. It is in the middle of the woods, without any views of the surrounding mountains. You take it until you reach the summit area, and you'll find a hut. To the side of the hut a sign says, "50 yards to Hawksbill Summit". Take that to get some of the gorgeous views the mountain has to offer.
To get back, you can take the loop via the Appalachian trail which is directly across from the "50 yards to Hawksbill Summit" sign. Along the route it is pretty gradual, with many views of the surrounding peaks. Blue markers along the way will point you back towards the Appalachian Trail. In about 0.8 miles you will reach the AT (signified by two white marks on a tree), and have 1 mile to go. Along this route, in particular the last mile and a half, you will see various boulder fields and even cliffs.
Once you reach the AT, you continue the trail down, and don't be confused by more double white marks near the bottom. From there you have just a couple hundred yards left on the AT. You follow that until you see the Hawksbill gap parking area.
The whole loop should take between 90 minutes to 2 hours. Elevation gain is about 700'.

Rebecca Cross from Wallabi Point has been named Australia’s Backyard Legend as part of the inaugural Backyard Legend Day campaign.
Rebecca received not one but two nominations, from Danielle Burgess and Brooke Browne.
Backyard Legend Day, which took place last Sunday October 16, is a new national community initiative that aims to encourage Australians to volunteer to complete a household chore for someone in their local community who could really do with a bit of help.
To be nominated as an Australian Backyard Legend, you might mow the lawn, clean gutters, do groceries and any other odd job that would be really appreciated by your neighbor or friend.
Danielle said, Rebecca has been her ‘hero’.
Danielle is a mother of three and suffers from a chronic bone marrow disease – which makes doing everyday jobs a struggle.
Rebecca has done all sorts of jobs for Danielle, like fixing the washing machine and fridge, mowing the lawns, weeding and pruning and she even converted an old shed into a cubby house for the kids.
A single mother herself, Rebecca has also helped made Book Week costumes for Danielle’s children.
Danielle said, ‘the list of things that Rebecca has done for her and her family is endless!’.
Brooke, who is a former neighbour of Rebecca’s, said, ‘she will never come across a neighbour like her again’.
Brooke is a single mum to six kids and said even when life was hard, Rebecca helped make it easier.
Rebecca’s help has been was more than a few odd jobs for Brooke – it has been emotional support when times are tough.
When Brooke’s son injured himself on hot coals, Rebecca helped get him to hospital and mind the kids.
She also went much further than just mowing Brooke’s backyard – she gave it a makeover.
When it was time to move house, Rebecca was there, trailer and all, to take items to the dump and get the home spick and span for an inspection.
“I couldn’t have done it without her,” added Brooke.

BT Group (LON:BT.A) has lost the rights to broadcast Italian Serie A football matches in the UK, the Financial Times has reported. The news marks a blow for the former telecoms giant, with European football having become the backbone of BT Sport after the FTSE 100 company outbid rivals in 2013 for the broadcast rights to Champions League and Europa League matches in the UK.
BT’s share price fell in the previous session, giving up 1.84 percent to 223.65p, and underperforming the broader UK market, with the benchmark FTSE 100 index ending trading in positive territory. The group’s shares have lost just under 23 percent of their value over the past year.
BT loses Italian Serie A
The FT reported yesterday that BT had lost the UK broadcast rights for Italy’s Serie A football matches to rival Eleven Sports. Multiple people with direct knowledge of the situation told the newspaper that Eleven, owned by Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani, the owner of Leeds United football club, had signed a deal with IMG, the international sports rights company, which owns the broadcasting rights to Serie A matches.
The news marks a blow for the UK group, and comes after earlier in the week, a little over a third of voters rejected the telco’s remuneration report at the company’s annual general meeting.
Analysts on telco
Credit Suisse, which sees BT as a ‘neutral,’ lowered its price target on the shares from 280p to 235p yesterday, while earlier in the week, Barclays reaffirmed the group as an ‘equal weight,’ without specifying a valuation on the stock. According to MarketBeat, the former telecoms monopoly currently has a consensus ‘hold’ rating and an average price target of 292.06p.

A half-hour's drive inland from Jeddah, brings you to Makkah, the religious capital of Saudi Arabia and the whole Islamic world. The city, like Madinah is off-limits to non-Muslims. Makkah is the birthplace of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and the point towards which every believer turns five times a day in prayer. It is also the focal point of the Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage which should be undertaken by all Muslims at least once in a lifetime.
The Sacred Mosque, in the center of Makkah, surrounds the Ka'aba, the cubic " House of God" 15 meters tall that is the center of the faith. According to the holy Quran, the first Ka'aba was built by the prophet Abraham (PBUH) and his son Ismail (PBUH) as a place of worship.
Nearby is the footprint of Abraham (PBUH) and the Zamzam water spring, which came out from between the rocks when Ismael's mother was running between the two hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah looking for water for her child. Other holy sites in the vicinity are visited as part of the ritual of the Hajj. Though steeped in tradition, Makkah is nowadays a modern city with facilities to cater for over two million pilgrims every year, at any time.
Care to the Holy Mosque in Makkah and other places, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Fahad Al Saud has expanded the Holy Mosque. This expansion was the greatest ever done in its history. The expansion area of the built floor reaches up to 57,000m² in addition to 19,000m², which makes the total area of the new expansion 76,000m² and the total area of the Holy Mosque 356,000m² including the expansion and the surrounding prayer grounds. The cost of expansion reached to more than 30 billion Saudi Riyals which equals 11 billion US Dollar.
As the drape or cover (Kiswah) of Ka'aba is one of its main features, special factory was constructed for the purpose of making the Kiswah and started production since 1346 H. The factory is formed of six different sections: belt, hand woven fabric, dying, and auto-woven fabric, printing and inner drape section. Every year, Ka'aba is covered with a new Kiswah. It consumes about 450kg of pure silk and 47 rolls of textile; each is 1344m long and 95cm wide. The Kiswah has a total area of 658 m². The cover belt is 47m long and 95cm wide, formed of 1600 golden pieces knitted on the cover. Verses of the Holy Quran are knitted on the cover with golden and silver wires. The Kiswah is 14 meters in height, and 47 meters in length. Its total cost is estimated at SR 17 million (U.S. $ 4.5 million) including material and labor.

GOING NUTS FOR KUKUI
Oils of Aloha Uses Ancient Kukui to Make Some Modern Waves
By Jessica Skropanic from Spa Review Nov/Dec 2004
Located on Oahu's North Shore Oils of Aloha was founded in 1988 to produce kukui nut and macadamia nut oils for cosmetic manufacturers and the public. Many top cosmetics companies purchase their kukui nut oil to add to their products. Nuts from the kukui tree are squeezed in a screw press, a process that generates a minimum of heat and helps to protect the oil. The oil is then filtered in a filter press. Fresh kukui nut oil has a strong nutty smell, so most of Oil of Aloha's products are deodorized and possess either an added fragrance or almost no scent at all. The oil from the kukui nut is unstable. To stabilize the oil for storage, Oils of Aloha adds Vitamin E and Vitamin C. They say the shelf life of the unopened bottles of oil is about one year or more. Keeping the products away from high temperatures and direct sunlight is important for its preservation.
In addition to using Oils of Aloha's kukui nut oil as a moisturizer for dry skin and to remove eye makeup the oil can be used to relieve the symptoms of dry skin and sensitive skin conditions such as psoriasis-like and eczema-like symptoms. It is also being used in some hospitals in Hawaii and in several cancer centers for the care of radiation burns on cancer patients.
Oils of Aloha Only Tests on Human Animals
Oils of Aloha has produced a kukui nut skincare line that includes the pure oil itself, the oil with fragrance, face cream, moisturizing lotion (with or without fragrance), conditioning shampoo, and a variety of scented glycerin soaps.
Matthew Papania, president of Oils of Aloha, explained that they only test on human animals, and the first human animals to try any product are the two human animals who own the company. When I mentioned I was a vegetarian, Papania said they are currently taking (testing) by mouth kukui nut oil as a vegetable source of Omega-3 fat, a fat found In fish and lacking In the diet of many vegetarians.
My Town, My Skin
My California summertime world tests the metal of any skincare product, and usually leaves it shaking in its little pink container. When not traveling in a pressurized airplane cabin, my skin is subjected to summer temperatures usually well Into three digits and the air is so dry, I have to carry water bottles for survival. I am constantly seeking products that will not only moisturize my poor skin and hair, but also work for more than twenty minutes without wilting.
When I applied it, the unscented Pure Kukui Nut Oil absorbed quickly into my skin. I used a small amount of it all over my body after my shower and was able to dress less than five minutes later. It didn’t feel greasy and it left my skin feeling hydrated. The next morning I got up (what a beautiful glow my skin had!) and went to an eight-hour meeting, then to a company picnic for two hours. The most delightful surprise came later when I got home. I felt my arms and found my sensitive skin (exposed to the August sun, air conditioning, and 108 degrees In the shade) was still hydrated, soft and yes, glowing! I usually have slight allergic reactions to oils, but not to this one. I've used It every day for four weeks now, and plan to keep on using it. I gave it to my massage therapist and she was amazed how quickly it was absorbed by my skin and how nice it made her hands feel. I have since tried the scented oil. The scent is so delicate and pleasant I've just stocked up and bought a box of twelve bottles.
Regarding the application of the pure Kukui Nut Oil, Papania recommends that everyone use just a little bit at first. “If (your skin) hasn't absorbed (the oil) in five minutes, you've put too much on. “
The Kukui Kid
Okay, time to give the other kukui products a whirl. I was a bit nervous trying the Kukui Conditioning Shampoo because I need a medicinal shampoo for my itchy scalp. Besides, my hair always needs an extra conditioner in addition to shampoo, right? Wrong ! How'd they do that? And what happened to my ubiquitous itch? I love the texture of my hair and how light the product is. The fragrance - the same light scent as the scented oil and the lotion - practically disappears when my hair dries, so it’s just me smelling nice! Like so many skin treatments, the glycerin soap and the lotion really enhanced each other on my skin.
I must admit I gave up on all bar soaps ages ago, even for my hands. I humbly and happily eat crow. The Kukui Glycerin Soap felt like silk, not like soap! I used it with my loofa mitt and it cleaned like a dream, but didn't leave my skin tight or dry. The lotion is the perfect consistency for my skin when I visit more humid environments or in the rainy season here. The cream Is recommended for face and body, and my skin drank It with the same efficiency as it did the pure oil. The scent of the Sunset Massage Oil was nothing short of a religious experience! I took it to my massage therapist, fearing I might have to wrestle the bottle away from her. It penetrated as well as the other kukui products, but the scent was stronger without being overpowering to me; spicy but In an alluring exotic way, not "pumpkin pie” spicy.

Residents :: 91 345
Politeness reigns in Poitiers! The pavements in the old town centre are so narrow that one can always have the other go first. The Middle Ages are still alive
in this city on the banks of the Clain and the Boivre. It was Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204), one of the most powerful women of her time, who brought art and culture to Poitiers. The marriages
she brokered put parts of France under British rule.
"Poitiers does not have a university, Poitiers is a university", you might also say of Marburg's French twin city. Some 30 000 students are enrolled, at the university, which was founded in 1432. They liven up the nightlife and the cultural scene. You'd think they would be the origin of the "quart d'heure poitevin" - the "Poitevin quarter-hour", which citizens use as an excuse for being fifteen minutes late. In fact, though, the saying merely refers to a feature of the city.
Paris has Notre-Dame-de-Paris, Poitiers has Notre-Dame-la-Grande. Both churches were built in the Middle Ages, but during different periods.
In the Palace of Justice, which in the Middle Ages served as the seat of power of the influential noble House of Aquitaine, we can still imagine hearing courtly love songs in front of the large fireplace, and in the ruins of the Roman amphitheatre the ancient slogan "bread and circuses" comes back to life. In the nearby Futuroscope theme park, however, the modern era is clearly asserting itself. It offers modern media entertainment, such as 3-D cinema, in a futuristic ambience. The 21st century awaits visitors to the Theatre Auditorium of Poitiers (TAP). With 1050 seats and extraordinary acoustics, this is where the city on the Clain and the Boivre presents internationally renowned artists from all walks of art.
It is only an hour by train from Poitiers to Paris. For people in the south of France, Marburg's French twin city is the gateway to the north, to those in the North, it is a gateway to the south. In Poitiers, which is both the prefecture and capital of the Département of Vienne, the university is an important economic factor. But companies like Schlumberger and other high-tech enterprises are also based in Poitiers.

I know that Flash is often times seen as a bad word, but I've had much
better luck in the past doing this with Flash. Before you say "Hey, no
Flash!" you should also keep in mind it is fairly trivial to convert Flash

There are pretty good Perl libraries into Flash, but I'm hesitant to
recommend any since it's been years since I've worked with this stuff.

I can still remember my first time visiting PS Cafe. Back then, my good friends raved about how good PS Cafe’s desserts were especially their famed Blackout Chocolate Cake. And that they planned to meet up in Paragon so that I could try the dessert. I liked the extremely sinful chocolate cake but what piqued me the most was how their main meals fare. Since then, I vowed that I would make a trip solely just to try out their menu.
Fast forward a couple years later, with a mission in mind, I made a trip to with a friend. Initially, I wanted to have a brunch session but for some unknown reason, they were only opened for lunch and dinner. Slightly disappointed, we wandered around before returning again for lunch.
Located at a quiet corner on second floor of Palais shopping centre, we were there slightly after 12PM to avoid the lunch crowd. It is said that it’s advisable to make reservations as they could get really crowded during peak hours especially lunch. Being in there brought me back to the colony time. This quaint cafe has decorations of its own with dated-looking chairs and tables arranged in orderly manner (and not to mention, very close to each other).
The menu is rather limited yet it has something for everyone. The daily specials are written / displayed on the huge chalkboard located inside the cafe for easy reference.
Served in a huge bowl, the Portobello Mushroom Soup (SGD$14) was earthy, chunky and hearty. The infusion of aromatic truffle oil certainly worked wonders to the soup as it has liven up the flavour of the already delicious bowl of soup. But in my opinion, they might look more presentable if they use white bowls instead of the one in the photo.
The PS Steak Sandwich (SGD$29) was absolutely delicious. I liked the fact that the chargrilled sourdough was soft and airy on the inside while being crusty crisp on the sides. Sandwiched in between the sourdough was 400+ day grain fed rump steak chips which was moist, tender and juicy.
Each layer of the sandwich serves its own purpose and chowing down them all in a go is a bliss. The sweetness of the teriyaki glaze, the tenderness of the steak, the soft yet crispy sourdough, the pungentness of the mustard. Mix them all and you’ll get a variety of complex flavours dancing on your palates.
The nori seasoned shoestring fries were perfect sides to go along with the sandwich. Crispy with fluffy potatoes in it, they were as good own its own.
Having an awesome sandwich as one of our mains, we didn’t really like the other dish: Spicy Albondigas & Spaghettini (SGD$26). It was the caramelised beef meatballs that we didn’t enjoy. Somehow, the tiny meatballs tasted rather odd; heavy on herbs and spices and they were rather dry although they were simmered in garlic tomato sauce. That said, the spaghetti was cooked perfectly while the tomato sauce was balanced with slight tartness to it.
At the end of the meal, we were too stuffed for dessert. The total bill came to about SGD$94.15 (including a Strawberry & Banana Smoothies for SGD$11). It’s definitely not an everyday affair if you ask me but for such cosy ambience and immaculate service by the attentive staff, it’s alright to splurge once in awhile and pamper yourself with some good quality food. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get to try their much-talked about Truffle Shoestring Fries. Oh well… I have another reason to visit them again.

Auto accidents and work-related injuries happen every day and can be quite dangerous. These types of accidents can result in serious injuries and require a great deal of ongoing medical attention and usually may need the care of an orthopedic doctor.
Orthopedic is a medical term that involves the musculoskeletal system of the body. The musculoskeletal system of the body includes the ligaments, tendons, bones, and muscles of the body.
Typically, orthopedics will consist of all injuries to musculoskeletal elements of the body, including bones, fractures, injuries, bone density, calcium deposits outside of healthy bony tissue, and the growth of bones.
Besides, you can have injuries to the ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Some of these injuries can include tears, tendonitis, ruptures (complete breaks), and hematoma or severe bruises.
Orthopedic surgery involves the examination, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and follow-up of issues relating to the musculoskeletal system of the body.
Orthopedic surgery is not just the actual surgical fixation of bones, muscles, ligaments, or tendons, but also includes non-surgical aspects of treating and diagnosing diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic surgery is usually done under anesthesia and can involve the surgeon, residents, and assistance to help the surgery be performed quickly and safely.
Orthopedic surgery involves the surgeon making an incision and then performing the operation. Fixation consists of a fracture after a traumatic injury that is displaced. Displaced means that the bones are not approximated (touching each other). The surgeon will place a screw and plate to bring the bones together, thereby allowing the bone to knit and the leg to heal. Joint replacement may be necessary if there is a severe enough injury to the joint so that it is no longer functional. Ligamentous, tendinous, and muscular injury is usually resolved by stitching and pin placement.
After a worker’s compensation or a car accident, back injuries are common and can require fixation for spinal fractures to ensure that there is no pressure on the nerves exiting the spinal cord. This is just a basic overview of the methods that an orthopedic surgeon would employ for a patient who is suffering from an injury after an accident.
Orthopedic surgeons are a sub-specialty of orthopedic doctors (MD or DO) who specialize in the surgical repair or fixation of the musculoskeletal structures of the body when they are injured. First, the surgeon will attend medical school, then general surgery training, then an orthopedic training program with an option for fellowships in the specialization. This process can take 10 to 13 years of post-graduate education.
Orthopedic surgery can utilize intensive techniques to help repair injuries or deformities. This can involve screw fixation, tendon repair, plate fixation, tumor removal, medication for osteoporosis, incision and drainage, and traumatic repair from accidents or falls and the associated fractures or bony breaks. Within this specialty, there is a further specialty that involves different parts of the body. For instance, a surgeon may specialize in treating injuries in the shoulder, legs, lower back, neck, or cancer.
A surgeon may specialize even further and do the hands, hips, knees or lower legs strictly. This allows the surgeon to do thousands of surgeries on an involved body part, thereby improving his/her performance. Furthermore, some orthopedic surgeons will specialize in sports medicine. This involves the surgeon only working with an athletic population.
Orthopedic doctors focus only on musculoskeletal systems. It is a broad category and their many sub-specialty of physicians who are involved in the field of orthopedics. These specialties can include osteoporosis physicians, orthopedic surgeon, pediatrics, and geriatrics. This specialization allows the healthcare clinicians to gain more credible experts in their field and can lead to better outcomes for the patients.
Not all orthopedic doctors will be trained as physicians. An orthopedist can use surgical or nonsurgical means to help treat musculoskeletal injuries. In addition to work-related and auto accident injuries, these specialists also work with sports injuries, infections, congenital disorders, tumors, and degenerative diseases.
Depending on their sub-specialty, an orthopedic doctor could focus on surgical repair and injections, medication application, or environmental adjustment. An orthopedic surgeon does not always recommend surgery and is trained to exhaust all options before having to perform a surgery. Similarly, an orthopedic doctor will not perform extensive surgery but will usually focus on the non-surgical methods of orthopedic surgery or simple procedures such as incision and drainage.
There are different types of orthopedic doctors. They include the designation of non-surgical and surgical. As stated before, some specialize in: different areas of the body, sports orthopedic surgeons, joint replacement specialist, pediatric, geriatric, sports medicine or trauma surgeons that help in cases of auto accidents or workers’ compensation accidents or other injuries.
An orthopedic specialist is a healthcare practitioner that specializes in the medical structures of the body. This can be either non-surgical or surgical. Also, there are some practitioners other than MDs or DOs who specialize in orthopedics. Some of these practitioners include Physical Therapists, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners.
These advanced practitioners will be involved in the rehabilitation, surgery, medication management, and prevention of orthopedic related issues or diseases.
Typically, a healthcare professional will get an additional credential to gain recognition as an orthopedic specialist. This is usually done through non-profit organizations such as the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) or the AOS (American Orthopedic Society).
The most common orthopedic injury after an accident is a fracture of a bone in the body. The forceful nature of a fall or car accident will usually be the cause of the injury. Some fractures, if they are not that severe, will not need surgical intervention and can generally be managed with non-surgical methods.
Examples of non-surgical methods for bone healing include: splinting, orthopedic boots, slings, or other stabilization to ensure that the bone does not become more displaced.
If a bone is crushed or if there is a large displacement of the bone, like in a construction accident at work, so that the bone will never be able to knit, a surgeon may have to do some fixation with a screw, plate or rod. This fixation can usually stay in a person’s body; however, sometimes it can be removed if it causes discomfort in the patient.
An orthopedic surgeon will perform the surgery and ensure that the bones are healing properly. This assurance is done by performing an x-ray and having the pictures reviewed by both a radiologist and orthopedic specialist. If a joint is damaged from a traumatic car accident, a person may need a joint replacement or other surgery to remove the painful bony spurs from the involved joint.
Some symptoms of an orthopedic injury after a car accident include the inability to weight bear, extreme pain in joint or body part, bruising, or decreased range of motion in the joint. Usually, if you are involved in a car accident, orthopedic emergency services will suggest or take you to a hospital where an ER MD/PA/NP will determine if you need to be seen by an accident orthopedic specialist.
That will depend on the severity and type of injury that you sustain after an accident. For most auto accident injuries you would just need to be checked out by an ER MD or another emergency professional.
If you are having any of the following symptoms, it may indicate that you need to see an orthopedic specialist. These symptoms include: unable to bear weight on a leg or arm, decreased range of motion, pain in a joint or area of the body that is 7-8/10 on a numbered pain scale, severe bruising, joint dislocation or impaction. All of these symptoms and occurrences would require that you see an orthopedic doctor as soon as possible.
In a short answer, you should see an Orthopedic Doctor as soon as you can after an auto accident. If there is an injury that results in the symptoms that were stated above, it is important that you try and ascertain the cause of the symptoms as soon as possible. This would mean that you need to see an orthopedic doctor as soon as you can so that the involved extremity can be investigated and examined for treatment.
For some injuries, such as a low back injury, a person may try to see if it gets better on its own. This usually is not the proper course of action and can cause needless pain and suffering on behalf of the patient.
With more severe injuries, an orthopedic surgeon may even be called into the ER to perform surgery right away. However, more commonly, orthopedic surgeons are consulted after other treatment plans have been implemented.
Many times, after an injury, when physical therapy has failed, and pain and other problems continue, an orthopedic surgeon will be consulted in order to determine an alternative course of action that can repair the injury internally through a surgery. Typically, with auto accidents, orthopedic accident doctors are called in for spinal injuries, fractures in the clavicle, broken ribs, shoulder or arm; wrist fractures; hip leg and pelvic fractures or ankle heel and knee injuries.
Depending on what type of care you are receiving following an auto accident, your existing physician or physical therapist may recommend that you see an orthopedist for a second opinion and to determine whether or not surgery is the right course of action for your particular issue. Your doctor may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon, or you may need to find your own New York orthopedic surgeon on your own.
The good news is, there are many orthopedic surgeons throughout the state of New York and many that specialize in helping those who have been injured in auto and work-related accidents
Immediate symptoms of accident orthopedic injuries are swelling, pain, tenderness to touch, bruising, deformities of the boney tissue, and an inability to utilize the involved extremity for activities of daily living. Most of the symptoms will last well beyond 24 hours and will need to be seen by an orthopedist.
Some delayed symptoms of accident orthopedic injuries include: decreased range of motion in the affected joint, decreased strength, and an inability to utilize the joint or limb that has been injured. After an injury, it can take 24 to 48 hours for swelling to cause the pain and decreased range of motion that is typically associated with an accident orthopedic injury.
Yes, an orthopedic doctor can treat injuries to the soft tissues. They are the specialists for the musculoskeletal system, which, includes the tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Since the bony structure of the body will routinely interact with soft tissues, an orthopedic doctor can be used to assist in the treatment of the soft tissues that are surrounding the injured joint or limb.
After a traumatic injury, it is important that your first consult be an orthopedic physician. This is usually a trauma orthopedic surgeon in the hospital but can be a general orthopedic surgeon if the injury is not severe. The reason for this is to ensure that you do not have any life-threatening or limb-threatening issues in your body.
After the consultation with an orthopedic surgeon, he/she may recommend surgery, injections, and medication management. After or before those procedures, a surgeon might refer you to a Physical Therapist.
A Physical Therapist is a healthcare professional that is involved in the rehabilitation of the body after an injury. They will usually employ manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, balance training, functional training, and modalities. Furthermore, a chiropractor may be utilized if there is a back injury that does not require surgical intervention.
After orthopedic surgery, it is important to adhere to certain modalities and treatments to alleviate pain. Most of the pain caused by surgery is from the incision and associated swelling that causes compression on the nerves.
After surgery, it is immediately important to rest, ice, compress, and elevate or (RICE).
It is recommended that you ice 20-30 minutes every 2 hours and you have compression/elevation for most of the waking hours. This is usually recommended for the first 4-6 weeks from surgery.
Yes. New York Worker’s Compensation Insurance covers orthopedic doctor bills for treatment of injuries sustained a result of a work accident. Workers’ Comp insurance is mandatory for all NYS employers, and as long as you take a few simple steps to file a worker’s compensation claim, you should have no problems getting your medical bills paid.
One thing to keep in mind is to make sure that your orthopedist is an Authorized Provider by the NY State Worker’s Compensation Board (WCB). You can check on the NYS WCB website or use the Injured Call Today search tool to find a WCB Authorized Workers’ Comp orthopedic surgeon.
Yes. You can change your workers’ comp orthopedic doctor at any time. Make sure to ask for all of your medical records and reports from the original orthopedist.
Yes. If you’re injured in an automobile accident in New York, you are eligible for no-fault insurance coverage. What this means is no matter who was at fault for the car accident, no-fault insurance can help cover some, or all, of your medical bills including the cost of your orthopedic care under the New York no-fault law.
If you are struggling to heal and recover from a traumatic accident injury and have decided to seek out an orthopedic surgeon, then finding the right professional for the job is very important. However, with so many different orthopedic surgeons in the New York metropolitan area, finding the right professional for the job can be challenging.
You not only need to find a doctor that works with your type of injuries and one that will take your insurance but a doctor you can trust as well. Make sure that you check with your orthopedic surgeon and make sure that they treat personal injury and accident cases such as yours.
You should also make sure that you contact more than one orthopedic surgeon and get at least two opinions if you were indicated for surgery —this is the best course of action to make sure you are not only finding the right doctor but getting a proper procedure done. It is best not to jump the gun when it comes to deciding on surgery. While it may take some time to decide on orthopedic surgery, this can be one of the most effective ways of making sure that you get your injuries treated the right way.

SNELLVILLE - A Shiloh High School graduate was one of nine soldiers killed Sunday in an insurgent raid that penetrated an American outpost in eastern Afghanistan, the Pentagon announced Wednesday.
Cpl. Jon Ayers, 24, was among those killed in the deadliest incident for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since June 2005, when 16 American soldiers were killed as a rocket-propelled grenade shot down a helicopter.
Snellville resident Bill Ayers said this was his son's first tour of duty. He was scheduled to return home in less than a month.
"We had already started buying decorations for the house," Bill Ayers said. "His mom (Suzanne) was going to surprise him in New York and fly back with him. It's tough."
Bill Ayers said his family has received a lot of support from friends and neighbors. He said his son would want people to know he was proud of his country and proud of the guys with whom he served.
"If they hadn't have done their jobs, there would have been more deaths," he said. "We're proud of our son."
Bill Ayers said his son left college to join the service in April 2006. He said Jon was always interested in joining the military.
Jon was involved in the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps during all four years of high school, reaching the rank of corps commander during his senior year, Bill Ayers said.
Jon Ayers graduated in 2002 from Shiloh High, said Jorge Quintana, spokesman for Gwinnett County Public Schools.
He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne), 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team based in Vicenza, Italy.
The newly built outpost in Wanat, Afghanistan, was attacked before dawn by small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades, the Associated Press reported.
A former provincial governor in the region said scores of attackers included a mix of Afghan- and Pakistan-based militants, some with al-Qaida links.
A NATO official said they used houses, shops and a mosque for cover during the hours-long battle before American soldiers managed to drive out the attackers and call in air support from attack helicopters. The official said dozens were killed and about 40 were wounded.
Another Georgia resident, Cpl. Matthew B. Phillips, 27, of Jasper, also died in the attack.
The others killed were 1st Lt. Jonathan P. Brostrom, 24, of Hawaii; Sgt. Israel Garcia, 24, of Long Beach, Calif.; Cpl. Jason M. Bogar, 25, of Seattle; Cpl. Jason D. Hovater, 24, of Clinton, Tenn.; Cpl. Pruitt A. Rainey, 22, of Haw River, N.C.; Cpl. Gunnar W. Zwilling, 20, of Florissant, Mo.; and Pfc. Sergio S. Abad, 21, of Morganfield, Ky.
Bill Ayers said funeral arrangements have not been completed. Jon was survived by his parents and an older brother, Joshua.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

West Ham United and Valencia have both had bids accepted by Celta Vigo for the transfer of Maxi Gomez, according to Sky Sports.
The Hammers have been trying to sign the forward for a while now and they came very close to bringing him to the London Stadium in January this year, but Celta eventually opted to keep Gomez for themselves, deeming him needed in their bid to stay in La Liga past this season. However, now that they’ve succeeded in their battle against relegation, the Spanish side are willing to let him go for the right amount. The bid accepted is understood to be of £29 million.
It will now be up to the player himself to decide on where he wants to continue his career.
Valencia have not only won the Copa Del Rey, but they also finished fourth in La Liga and will be playing in the Champions League next season, which is a lot more than West Ham have to offer the 22-year-old Uruguayan, meaning that the Premier League club will likely have to offer more in terms of wages if they intend to have him seriously consider a move to London.

Though the forests of the world are vital for all humans, their area is decreasing. While boreal forests even grow in size, tropical forests are severely threatened by deforestation. The elevated deforestation rates of the tropics have severe impact on the global climate as approximately 20% of the total human-induced greenhouse gas emissions stem from deforestation processes. Furthermore, the humid tropics are among the most species-rich ecosystems of the world and the proceeding deforestation severely threatens their high biodiversity. To observe and analyze tropical deforestation satellite based monitoring is mandatory and the only possibility due to the vast and often inaccessible study areas. In comparison to radar systems, optical sensors provide more detailed information to distinguish different types of vegetation. However, the principal limitation of optical imaging systems is that they cannot penetrate clouds, which are quite frequent in the humid tropics. Multitemporal compositing can be used to derive cloud-free mosaics but depending on the revisit time of the satellite not all sensors can be used for the purpose of monitoring larger areas in the humid tropics. Possible solution is the use of low or medium resolution systems, which have shorter orbit repeat cycles, thus acquiring imageries at a higher frequency. This PhD thesis deals with the applicability of different techniques to monitor the fast deforestation activities in the humid tropics, as well as a detailed analysis of the deforestation processes and their underlying causes. Main focus was put on the tropical forest ecosystems of Borneo, as Southeast Asia shows the highest deforestation rate of all humid tropics and Borneo, still having the largest remaining area of tropical rainforest in that realm, is representative for many processes leading to deforestation in the region.
In a first step the ability of multispectral change detection analysis was tested to quickly detect land cover changes. This study was carried out both in Central Africa and Borneo to investigate various satellite sensor systems such as Landsat, MODIS, MERIS and SPOT VEGETATION in different tropical regions with their prevailing land use patterns. Under ideal conditions such as no atmospheric disturbances the use of multispectral change detection analysis based on optical data is a promising approach to quickly monitor changes in the forest cover. Most important advantage of this technique is the omission of the classification step, thus providing much faster results. However, applying this system in the humid tropics implicated pivotal limitations. The frequent cloud coverage of the humid tropics prevents from monitoring larger areas as optical satellite data interfere with clouds or haze. Thus, cloud-free composites had to be used. Depending on the algorithm, these composites either show artifacts due to the selection of single pixels and thus cannot be used as input for multispectral change detection, or when applying compositing methods, which reduce the amount of artifacts considerably, the advantage of easily detecting changes are lost due to the higher number of single images and the longer period of data acquisition. Thus, owing to these limitations inherent to the humid tropics the concept of quickly detecting changes by applying multispectral change detection analysis in these areas is not feasible in an operational way – irrespectively in Central Africa or Borneo.
Therefore another approach was analyzed. The next studies showed that a post classification methodology based on cloud-free composites derived from an average composition method can be successfully used for land cover mapping in the humid tropics. This approach provides more detailed information about the land cover than the multispectral change detection analysis. Based on medium resolution MODIS surface reflectance data it was possible to classify the land cover of Borneo, discriminating 11 land cover classes, also including 6 different forest types. In 2002 about 57% of the land was covered with forests and between 2002 and 2005 the annual deforestation rate was 1.7%. The forest areas of the island are dominated by 74% of dipterocarp and more than 23% of the carbon rich peat swamp forests - the latter one showing an increased deforestation rate of 2.2%. The analysis of the spatial pattern of deforestation showed, that deforestation usually does not start in the middle of closed forests. Almost 98% of all deforestation occurred within a range of 5 km to the forest edges. Causes of deforestation are manifold, such as conversion to farmland, legal and illegal logging for timber supply and fire, which is often linked to deforestation because it is the cheapest means in land preparation. In fact 98% of all forest fires were detected in the same 5 km buffer zone, showing that fire is the major driver of forest degradation and deforestation. Fires inside closed forests, which were observed by active fire detecting sensors, indicate the existence of human access such as small-scale infrastructure, which cannot be detected using medium or low resolution surface reflectance data alone. 94% of all fires detected in a peat swamp forest in Central Kalimantan were located closer than 1 km to existing small-scale logging infrastructures. As fire is one of the major causes of deforestation, the spatial and temporal pattern of all fires detected between 1997 and 2006 was investigated. No single sensor is completely covering the investigation period, therefore several sensors for active fire detection such as AVHRR, ATSR and MODIS had to be combined to analyze the fires retrospectively. About 16.2 Mha, corresponding to 21% of the land surface of Borneo, have been affected by fire at least once and 6% more than one time. During El Niño years with their prolonged droughts the impact of the forest fires increased considerably, affecting about 1 Mha, which is more than 3 times larger than in non-El Niño years. Although ecosystem and land use are similar, there is a pronounced difference in fire occurrence across the different countries of Borneo. In normal years the percentage of the fire affected area in Kalimantan was almost 5 times larger than in the non-Indonesian part of Borneo. During El Niño driven droughts this percentage almost doubled in Indonesia, while the El Niño phenomenon seemed to have no influence on fire occurrence in Brunei and the Malaysian part of the island. This suggests, that El Niño related droughts are not the only cause of increased fire occurrence and do not necessarily lead to a higher number of fires.
The results of this PhD thesis both provide crucial information concerning monitoring techniques based on optical satellite data in the humid tropics and improve the understanding of the drivers of deforestation – information decisive to better protect the remaining rainforests and an essential contribution regarding global climate change.

Erectile Dysfunction (E.D) is a topic that is rarely spoken about between men!
Envizion medical can treat erectile dysfunction with:
- Boosting low Testosterone
- Reducing Estrogen Levels
- Penile Injection
- Or a combination thereof
The loss of sex drive and or the inability to achieve a full erection has surprisingly affected over 70% of the male population, often starting around the age of 30. Many men assume Viagra and Cialis are their only option to help regain a full erection. These pills can be highly effective for some men…But for others it’s not enough and we have solutions at Envizion Medical! What these drugs lack is the ability to bring back the DESIRE FOR SEX and the ENERGY needed for sex. In addition to treating E.D. with Viagra or Cialis at Envizion we offer a blood panel designed to help a man determine if hormones could also help him achieve full erections, the energy, and the desire for sex. By boosting your hormones to the level they were right before you noticed changes in your penis’s firmness and or ability to ejaculate, you can bring back what you took for granted in your youth. From an evolutionary standpoint, humans were only expected to have a life span from 30-40 years, and therefore hormones needed for sexual participation or ability to climax on a regular basis drops off at this age. Due to stress, toxicity, and natural aging most adult males are living in a state of depleted hormones starting the age of 30.
Erectile dysfunction does not mean that a man cannot acheive an erection. E.D. often means the erection is soft and not as pleasurable or the erection will subside before the man is able to ejaculate.
Types of Erectile Dysfunction Envizion can treat:
- Soft Erection – still hard enough for penetration
- Erection that does not last long enough to achieve ejaculation
- Premature Ejaculation
- No Erection
Symptoms Envizion Medical treats associated with Erectile Dysfunction:
- No desire for sex
- No desire for masturbation
- Soft Erections
- No Erections
- No Energy for Sex
- Ability to hold an erection long enough for climax to occur
If you have not suffered from penile issues in the past, don’t let others tell you your erectile dysfunction is due to mental or emotional issues. Also don’t let Fatigue, stress, anxiety or depression keep you from an active sex life.. These issues can often be relieved with bringing testosterone levels up and estrogen levels down into normal range.
With the help of our doctors at Envizion Medical, men will be educated on treatments that relate to their issues. Certain medicines and illnesses may have contributed to your erectile dysfunction. Once the cause is found, we’ll provide the best medicine for you.
Are you ready to address your erectile dysfunction in the safest way possible?
We have the safest, most effective erectile dysfunction medicine available. We also understand the importance of being discrete. Our staff understands this is a touchy subject and your consult and treatment is completely confidential.

Glen Johnson, Steven Gerrard and Co will have the 'Seeing is Believing' logo on their chests, rather than the usual 'Standard Chartered'. The shirts will be signed by the players after the game and then auctioned off.
Among other Reds stars, Gerrard took part in some events to support the charity and was happy to be involved with the charity which tries to tackle avoidable blindness in developing countries.
He said: "You realise at the time how difficult it is without your sight. Especially doing activities. We were involved in a penalty shoot-out using a blindfold and it's so difficult.
"It was really enjoyable to take part and very important for myself and the club as well to play our part and try to help these people."

Summary and Keywords
By the 1960s the international world changed dramatically. While the nuclear balance of terror created by the atomic bomb prevented war between the First and the Second Worlds, proxy wars between the superpowers were conducted in the “Third World.” The Cold War began and the Soviet Union attempted to arouse radical groups in the Third World, an effort that grew immensely as overseas empires of Western states dissolved. The UN membership expanded because of the great number of “new” states. Two events in Third World countries were critical: Castro’s triumph in Cuba and the long Vietnam War. Vietnam was particularly crucial in animating terrorist groups throughout the West. A total of 404 groups emerged: 192 Revolutionaries and 212 Separatists. There were two Revolutionary types: 143 Nationals and 49 Transnational. The Transnationals, a product of the developed world, saw themselves as Third World agents. Nationals and Separatists aimed to remake their own states. Nationals sought equality and Separatists sought a new state that often included elements from neighboring states. Separatists were present everywhere except Latin America where all groups were Nationals.
As in the First Wave, university students provided most of the initial terrorist recruits. Women became important again except among Separatists. Cuban and PLO training facilities intensified bonds with foreign groups. The PLO was the most conspicuous group because it conducted more assaults abroad than at home. Groups from different countries cooperated in attacks, that is, OPEC ministers kidnapping (1975). At home, targets with international significance like embassies were struck. Publicity again became a principal concern, which made hostage taking preeminent for the first time, a practice that became very lucrative for some groups. Over 700 hijacked airlines intensified the wave’s international character. The Sandinista took Nicaragua’s Congress hostage in 1978, which sparked a successful insurrection. Many Third World hostages were foreigners from the developed world involved in commerce, and their companies quickly paid enormous ransoms. Earlier waves produced more deaths.
The wave began ebbing in the 1980s; new groups stopped emerging. Israel eliminated PLO facilities for training terrorist groups. International counterterrorist cooperation became effective. Terrorists now found the UN hostile. Six of the eight successes occurred when the Cold War ended and Soviet support disappeared. Most were very limited. The PLO became so weak it was allowed to return home and negotiate for a two-state solution, one still not achieved. The South African ANC produced the only real success partly because its tactics were so restrained.

Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy pairs the work of Alexander Calder with the work of seven contemporary artists whose practices are bound to Calder’s legacy as modern sculptor. While a well-known, even beloved figure in art, Calder has not previously been considered an important point of reference for contemporary artists. This is the first exhibition to explore Calder’s significance for an emerging generation of sculptors, reconsidering his influence and his innovation through a presentation of his own work alongside the work of contemporary artists.
The seven contemporary artists in this exhibition: Martin Boyce, Nathan Carter, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Aaron Curry, Kristi Lippire, Jason Meadows, and Jason Middlebrook, have taken important cues from Calder including a return to hands-on production, the creative reuse of materials, and explorations of form, balance, color, and movement. Combining rigorous concept with a renewed emphasis on formalism, the work of these artists prioritizes the visual and visceral qualities of sculpture. Both directly and indirectly influenced by Calder, all of the artists are looking towards modernist forms and ideas, challenging and recontextualizing what is for many a familiar art history.
The MCA’s in-depth holdings of Calder form the core of the presentation of his work, complemented by mobiles, standing mobiles, and stabiles drawn from Chicago area and national public and private collections. Calder’s work is mounted along with sculptures by the contemporary artists. Middlebrook is also undertaking a site-specific commission for the exhibition, creating a mobile for the MCA’s atrium.
Organized by MCA Curator Lynne Warren, this exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue copublished by the MCA and Thames & Hudson and will tour nationally.
Lead Corporate Sponsor
Major support for the exhibition is generously provided by the Kenneth and Anne Griffin Foundation. Additional generous support is provided by Margot and George Greig, Anne and Burt Kaplan, Ruth Horwich, the Broad Art Foundation, Gagosian Gallery, Lindy Bergman, Helyn Goldenberg, Sara Szold, and the Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation.

When did you last beat your wife?
Erin Pizzey, founder of the world's first women's refuge, sees domestic violence as a two-way street.
Erin Pizzey founded the first refuge for battered wives in 1971 in England. She is also a writer and a journalist. She has two children and two grandchildren from her first marriage. She has written Scream Quietly or the Neighbors Will Hear, Infernal Child and The Slut's Cookbook. Her most controversial book, Prone to Violence, was boycotted by radical feminists because it challenged their theories of violence. Although no longer in print, the full text is available on the web at: www.bennett.com/ptv/index.shtml.
THIS WEEK THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION reported in The Guardian: 'One in 4 women abused.' According to the BMA, a survey in Islington provided the information that 571 women and 429 men were asked about domestic violence. The result of questioning the 571 women shows that one in three of them had reported domestic violence, and a quarter of the women had been forced to have sex against their will. There is no mention in the BMA report of any result from the questioning of the 429 men. Upon further research we find that the men were questioned, but only about whether or not they had physically or sexually abused women. The researchers failed to ask if they considered themselves victims of domestic violence. This report follows on the heels of several other well reported surveys and television documentaries since the beginning of this year that sought to prove to the general public that men - all men - are dangerous, violent and unpredictable in their relationships with women.
In 1971 the first refuge in the world opened its doors to women and children fleeing from domestic violence. Almost immediately people working in the refuge with the women and children became aware that of the first hundred women coming into the refuge, sixty two were as violent as the partners they had left. Not only did they admit their violence in the mutual abuse that took place in their homes, but the women were abusive to their children. The purpose of the refuge was not to make political gain out personal suffering, but to seek to discover the causes of domestic violence and to create therapeutic programmes that would educate violence-prone parents to learn to eradicate their violent behaviour.
Unfortunately, at this time the feminist movement - hungry for recognition and for funding - was able to hi-jack the domestic violence movement and promptly set about disseminating dubious research material and disinformation. Tess Gill and Anna Coote, both prominent members of the women's movement, in their book Sweet Freedom, stated that 'feminists saw domestic violence as an expression on the power that men wielded over women, in a society where female dependence was built into the structure of every day life.' They concluded that 'wife-battering was not the practice of a deviant few, but something which could emerge in the 'normal' course of marital relations.' As the 'politically correct' arm of the women's movement swung into action, to dare to suggest that women could be guilty of any acts of violence against men became 'blaming the victim.' All women, we were assured, were innocent victims of men's violence.
In the following years respected research workers in the field published their findings. Murray Strauss, Richard Gelles and Suzanne Steinmetz authored Behind Closed Doors - Violence in The American Family, published by Doubleday/Anchor 1980. In their findings they reported that domestic assault rates between men and women were about equal. Physically, men caused more damage to women but women retaliated with weapons. This was backed up a report from Leicester Royal Infirmary in England that reported that their findings confirmed that men and women were equally victims of violent assault but that men injuries were more horrific because they were caused by weapons.
None of these findings made much impact in the media and were brushed aside by the feminist movement, who insisted that any injuries caused by women were probably in self defence. Those of us in the domestic violence field working in America were unhappy about the mounting tide of information demonizing men. In spite of the evidence now showing that both men and women were capable of violence towards each other and abusive behaviour towards children, rigorous laws were being pushed through the US and Canadian judicial system that discriminated against men. Women began to falsify information and accuse their partners of domestic violence as a preamble to requesting a divorce. Men were accused of molesting their children and many jailed without evidence. Men could be removed from their homes merely by an allegation from their partner that they were 'in fear.' No physical corroborating evidence of violence behaviour was necessary. Courts refused to discipline women who refused to allow men access to their children. Men had a one in ten chance of losing contact with their children altogether. A bitter war between men and women became a reality.
In March of this year I heard that new legislation was being considered by the Women's Unit and I asked if I might visit the unit. I received a personal note from Joan Ruddock, the Women's Minister and an invitation to visit her in her office. Upon greeting me Ms. Ruddock stated that she knew I would be unhappy to hear that in the new legislation men were to be referred to as the 'perpetrators.' I pointed out that all the informed research concluded that either men or women were equally able to be perpetrators of domestic violence. Ms. Ruddock disagreed. 'The figures for women attacking men,' Ms. Ruddock assured me, 'are minuscule.' During the discussion Ms. Ruddock agreed that the Ministers for Women are developing a national strategy on tackling all forms of violence against women which will be published this autumn. I asked if the U.K. Men's Movement had been consulted or Families Need Fathers but Ms. Ruddock said she didn't think they had much to offer in any discussion. She also made it clear hat she did not think that I had anything to offer either. As a result of this meeting a few concerned women met with Ian Kelly of the U.K. Men's Movement and we agreed that it was necessary for women to form their own organisation to protect the rights of families and their fathers.
Another of my main concerns were the programmes developed in America where men who were considered 'perpetrators' were mandated into counseling programmes often run by bitter anti-male feminists. The Duluth programme is one of the best known. They identify common characteristics in domestic violence perpetrators, these include holding traditional views about men's position in society and in the family. Translated this means that the men in the programme must admit to their patriarchal heritage. Their crime is being born a man, and these programmes are a very crude form of feminist brain washing. Some of the U.S. legislation is frightening. In California, men who have been found guilty of domestic violence have to sign on at the local police stations along with the pedophiles. I asked Ms. Ruddock if the Women's Unit proposed importing these programmes into England. Ms. Ruddock side-stepped the question.
One piece of research which has managed not to see the light of day is that the worst form of violence does not occur between men and women or even between men and men, but occurs between women and women. Lesbian violence is very violent and a source of great embarrassment to the radical feminist movement. In a sample of 1,099 lesbians, Lie and Gentlewarrior (in press) found that 52% of the respondents have been abused by a female lover or partner. If women are so violent in their relationships with each other, how can the myth of men as the sole perpetrators of domestic violence hold up its head?
Edmund Burke remarked 'For evil to triumph, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing.' For nearly thirty years men have done very little to protect themselves from being disenfranchised from their homes and from their children. Now, with this new legislation already prepared without proper consultation in the autumn of this year, will good men continue to do nothing?

Debt-plan concerns hurt Greece’s credit rating
Greece’s finance minister, Evangelos Venizelos, deflected questions as he arrived at a meeting in Washington yesterday
By David Jolly
New York Times / July 26, 2011
NEW YORK - Moody’s Investors Service cut Greece’s credit rating yesterday after concluding the eurozone bailout plan announced last week will require private-sector holders of Greek debt to take credit losses.
Tweet Be the first to Tweet this!.ShareThis .The agency said it downgraded Greece’s debt ratings from CAA1, already deep in junk-bond territory, to CA - one step above default - “to reflect the expected loss implied by the proposed debt exchanges.’’ It said it would reassess that rating once the deal has been completed.
Moody’s offered a generally positive assessment of the plan agreed to by European leaders Thursday, saying it “benefits all euro area sovereigns by containing the contagion risk that would likely have followed a disorderly payment default on existing Greek debt.’’
But the ratings agency expressed concern about “the negative precedent set by the endorsement of distressed exchanges’’ between Greece and its creditors, a reference to the bond swaps that private investors will undertake.
Those holding Greek debt are “virtually certain’’ to suffer losses, Moody’s said.
Germany and several other countries had insisted that no new rescue for Greece was possible without banks bearing part of the pain. Fitch Ratings said Friday that doing so would constitute a restricted default.
“While the rating agency believes that the overall package carries a number of benefits for Greece - a slightly reduced debt trajectory, lower debt-servicing costs, as well as reduced reliance on financial markets for years to come - the impact on Greece’s debt burden is limited,’’ Moody’s added.
Standard & Poor’s and Fitch have also rated Greece as junk, or noninvestment grade.
The Greek government responded with disdain to the downgrade.
“All governments pay a subscription to these agencies,’’ Reuters cited Elias Mosialos, a government spokesman, as telling Radio 9. “We, I think, do not need the reviews anymore. They have no practical value. Perhaps the finance ministry should end its subscription.’’
Even if the rescue plan manages to hold speculators at bay, Greece remains heavily indebted relative to the size of its economy and needs to expand its gross domestic product.

Head of the Egypt's state-run Metro Company Abdalla Fawzy said that despite recurrent interruptions of metro services due to protests, metro passengers have increased by 28 million compared to the year 2011.
Fawzy attributed this rise to frequent fuel shortages as well as traffic congestions.
He also said that the low price of metro tickets encourages people to use the metro since passengers can cover a distance as long as 40 km for LE1. Passengers who use buses would pay more, he added.
He also said that the total number of passengers who use the metro have exceeded international rates, with passengers using the Helwan-Marg metro line reaching almost 2 million a day, which is the highest capacity the metro is designed to carry.
Fawzy said passengers who use the metro are likely to hit one billion a year after the third metro line is complete.
To manage the increasing numbers of commuters, He said that to cope for these increasing numbers of commuters, the company is continuously maintaining the two metro lines and added that passengers should also also play a role in preserving it.

Absolutly. Don't know how big the steelers are on a power back but it defenitly seems so with Rashard, Redman and Dwyer that they are favoring that type.

We are very excited to bring you the highly anticipated cover for THE CATCH by New York Times Bestselling author K. Bromberg releasing on JUNE 29th!
After an unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning the loyalty of everyone around him.
Even the woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton.
But if Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead wrong.
With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo, his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything – Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone.
He may be a man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the cost.
Baseball has never been sexier in an all-new novel by New York Times Bestselling Author, K. Bromberg.
Easton Wylder is baseball royalty. The game is his life. His passion. His everything.
So, when an injury threatens to end Easton’s season early, the team calls in renowned physical therapist, Doc Dalton, to oversee his recovery. Except it’s not Doc who greets Easton for his first session, but rather, his daughter, Scout. She may be feisty, athletic, defiant, and gorgeous, but Easton is left questioning whether she has what it takes to help him.
Scout Dalton’s out to prove a female can handle the pressure of running the physical therapy regimen of an MLB club. And that proof comes in the form of getting phenom Easton Wylder back on the field. But getting him healthy means being hands-on.
And with a man as irresistible as Easton, being hands-on can only lead to one thing, trouble. Because the more she touches him, the more she wants him, and she can’t want him. Not when it’s her job to maintain the club’s best interest, in regards to whether he’s ready to play.
But when sparks fly and fine lines are crossed, can they withstand the heat, or is one of them bound to get burned?

Not content with launching a bevy of new phones at Mobile World Congress, Nokia today took to the stage in China to launch the company’s latest effort, the Nokia X6. It’s a midrange phone with a high-end finish, and looks set to make a good case for itself in the market.
Let’s get it out of the way, first up – the Nokia X6 has a notch atop its display. Like it or loathe it, that design tick is here to stay. Otherwise, the phone features a 5.8-inch screen with a 19:9 Full HD+ (2280 x 1080) resolution. There’s a small bezel at the bottom of the display too that carries a subtle Nokia branding.
The Nokia X6 has a glass rear and metal body, representing yet another upgrade of the Nokia phone design language under HMD Global. At the rate at which Nokia’s industrial design is evolving, Nokia’s industrial design could well be leading the industry this time next year. You’ll find Corning Gorilla Glass on the front, and hopefully on the back too though it’s not entirely clear.
Behind the scenes, there’s a Qualcomm, Snapdragon 636 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 16/32GB ROM, and a 6GB option is available with 64GB of storage. Both models feature MicroSD-expandable storage.
The phone features a dual camera array at the rear, with a 16MP autofocus f/2.0 camera and a 5MP black and white sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. Nokia is specifically calling out the HDR feature on the phone, along with “AI” features like portrait stage lighting effects, background blur and facial recognition to enhance your photos in software on-device. It also keeps the “Bothie” mode introduced in the Nokia 7 that allows you to do a split-screen video using both the front and rear cameras.
Powering it all, there’s a modest 3,060mAh battery. With a FHD screen resolution and a Snapdragon 6xx series processor, we don’t think this will have any trouble serving your needs throughout the day. If you need to charge though, the phone supports USB-C fast charging to deliver 50% charge in just 30 minutes.
The Nokia X6 looks to be available in Black, White and Blue models – the colour defines the rear glass finish, you’ll always get black on the front. Chinese pricing starts at ¥1299, which is about AU$270 (presumably that’s the 16GB storage model).
It’s not known whether Nokia will bring the X6 to Australia yet – the company has just finished launching its current range of phones here though, so if it’s coming here we might just have to wait a while. One thing’s for sure though – this phone certainly looks the goods at a bargain price.

West Virginia reaches preliminary settlement with Walmart, CVS Pharmacy chains ahead of opioid trial
The State of West Virginia, with the support of Motley Rice as outside counsel, reached a combined $147.5 million in preliminary settlements to resolve litigation against opioid pharmacy chains CVS and Walmart. West Virginia previously reached a settlement with Rite Aid in August, bringing the total proposed settlements reached by the State with pharmaceutical defendants to roughly $177 million to date.
The State was scheduled to go to trial against CVS, Walgreens and Walmart in less than a week in Kanawha County Circuit Court under the leadership of Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. A trial against Walgreens and an additional pharmacy, Kroger, is set to begin in June 2023.
The defendant pharmacy chains were each accused of ignoring and failing to report red flags that they dispensed illegitimate prescriptions of opioids despite ample data that allowed them to identify suspicious orders and prescriptions. Their acts and failures violated West Virginia’s Consumer Credit and Protection Act and created a public nuisance by fueling illicit black markets, the State alleged.
Fatal overdose rates tripled in the State over the past decade, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and spiked to a record high in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Motley Rice lawyers David Ackerman, Sarah Aguiñiga, Andrew Arnold, David Burnett, Ethan DuBois, Mike Elsner, Tola Familoni, John Hurst, Anne McGinness Kearse, Mimi Liu, Temitope Leyimu, Christopher Moriarty, Lance Oliver, Michael Quirk, Joe Rice, Ann Ritter, Linda Singer, Elizabeth Smith, Jake Stout, and Cindi Solomon serve as counsel for the State and helped negotiate for the preliminary settlements. The firm also represents West Virginia and the City of Huntington in several cases against opioid manufacturers and distributors.
“This is an important, monumental settlement for the State of West Virginia, as many families and communities have been devastated as a result of this opioid epidemic,” said Linda Singer. “We’re thrilled to know that if the court approves it, this settlement will provide significant help for those affected the most by the opioid crisis in this State.”
Motley Rice’s Opioid Litigation Leadership
Motley Rice represents dozens of governmental entities, including states, cities, towns, counties and townships in ongoing investigations and litigation filed in state courts and in the National Prescription Opiate Multidistrict Litigation. The entities allege deceptive marketing and/or the overdistribution of opioids. Motley Rice’s co-founding member Joe Rice is co-lead counsel for the federal MDL. Attorney Linda Singer also serves as co-chair of the MDL’s Manufacturer/Marketing Committee and Lou Bograd is co-chair of the Law & Briefing Committee.

Wheatgrass is one of the best living sources of chlorophyll available. It’s has over 100 elements that are needed by our bodies. It’s loaded with amino acids, enzymes, protein, vitamins and minerals. It is a wonderful detoxifier and rebuilds the blood stream. Chlorophyll washes away drug deposits in the body and neutralizes toxins. It also helps in purifying the liver. On top of all that, it neutralizes odors and gives your dog fresh breath.
As soon as I get the wheatgrass juicer out, Tashi goes crazy for her favorite healthy treat of the day. We grow our own wheatgrass and grind it daily with a HandyPantry macerating juicer. It only takes a few minutes and is easy to clean up. The benefits of wheatgrass are highest if you drink it within 20 minutes of juicing, but you can keep some in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze it in small amounts in baby ice cube trays. I generally juice about 2 ounces of grass a day for myself and give Tashi about 1/4 tsp which she enjoys straight. If your dog is not so keen on wheatgrass, you can also add it to food or water.
Powdered wheat or barley grass is a good option as well if you are short on time. Just make sure you are buying a product that does not have other stuff added to it that may be harmful to your dog.
The key to using wheatgrass for your dog is to use it in small amounts. Too much wheatgrass too soon can be too detoxifying and cause vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness. Tashi weighs 14 lbs so she gets 1/4 a tsp, but we started with a tiny drop and built up from there over time. A 50 lb dog can build up to 1 tsp a day.

Proceedings PaperLCD backlight performance over the military operating temperature range
|Format||Member Price||Non-Member Price|
The paper is based on a 6 X 8 inch backlight assembly designed for a military requirement including NVG compatibility. Measured data for luminance and input power is reported across a temperature range of -40 to +55. The paper highlights the state of the art achieved for the fluorescent cavity design approach implemented by SAIC. The data demonstrates the relationships between light output, input power and temperature. The data suggest engineering requirements for thermal control of LCD displays and system performance expectations at the extreme edges of the temperature range.

Great Recession over, but global obstacles remain, says IMF chief
Although the Great Recession is over and the world economy is turning the corner, there are still global obstacles that inhibit faster growth, said Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). She added that overall global economic growth is still too slow and fragile.
Lagarde said in a speech at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Washington that “a modest and fragile recovery is under way that now needs to change gears toward more rapid and sustainable growth.”
The IMF chief urged central bankers to take more aggressive steps to boost growth, because although the global economy is recovering it is doing so at a snail’s pace.
“More monetary easing, including through unconventional measures, is needed in the Euro Area to raise the prospects of achieving the ECB’s (European Central Bank’s) price stability objective. The Bank of Japan also should persist with its quantitative easing policy.”
Lagarde explained that economic activity in the major advanced economies – Japan, the Eurozone and the US – is accelerating, but not at the same speeds.
Although growth rates in the emerging markets are slowing, they are “among the highest in the world,” especially in the Asian economies.
The Sub-Saharan African nations are growing at a strong pace. Lagarde reported that conditions are “more challenging” in the Arab nations in transition, where social and political problems are undermining economic expansion.
Short-term global obstacles
Lagarde warned that there are some short-term obstacles along the path to more vigorous and durable economic growth. Old obstacles include extremely high and persistent unemployment, excessively high debt levels in many nations, and completing the financial sector reform agenda.
New obstacles include:
“Low-flation” risk – during a period of very low inflation consumers and businesses postpone spending because they suspect prices might fall, resulting in declining demand and output, which slows down growth and suppresses the creation of jobs.
Market volatility risk – caused by the tapering of quantitative easing in the advanced economies plus a “generally less benign external financial climate.”
Geopolitical tensions – have the potential to affect the global economic outlook. An example is the situation in Ukraine, which “if not appropriately managed, could have broader spillover implications.”
According to Lagarde, the costs of persistent sluggish growth are high, with painfully slow reductions in unemployment and income gains. “The risk is that without sufficient policy ambition, the world could fall into a medium-term low growth trap,” she added.
Aim is for cruising speed for growth
The global economy needs to strive for “cruising speed for medium-term growth,” Lagarde declared, “With space for supportive macroeconomic policy narrowing in many countries, the role of structural reforms as a policy lever will increase.”
Governments need to focus on:
- Greater, well-prioritized investment to create jobs and increase potential output.
- Inclusive labor market reforms that can contribute significantly to economic growth.
- Service and product sector reforms that can boost competition, break down vested interests, and free economies so that they may reach their full potential and create employment.
Strengthening international cooperation
“At a time when the world is still recovering from the Great Recession—and at a time when geopolitical tensions are increasing – how can we strengthen the international cooperation that is essential to address these challenges?”
More than 2% could be added to worldwide economic growth over the next five years if the right policy actions were taken by countries, something the members of the Group of 20 leading emerging and advanced economies had acknowledged at their meeting in Australia in February, Lagarde noted.
“This would place the global economy on a substantially different trajectory from today,” she said.
Next week, Central Bank Governors and Finance Ministers of 188 countries will gather in Washington for the IMF Spring Meetings.

The booming retail credit in the country has been propelled by the increasing demand for credit cards, followed by consumer loans. This increase in credit penetration is directly proportional to the rising demand of goods and services by an age-group that comprises two-thirds of the Indian population — the millennials. You may be straight out of college and joining the workforce, or you may already have about 12-13 years of work experience — if you fall into the 20 to 35 years age group, you are a millennial.
In a recent TransUnion CIBIL market survey, the millennials emerged as the fastest growing segment, poised to change the credit landscape with an affinity for credit, financial goals and aspirations.
This group’s credit appetite is fuelled by their aspirations to firstly, upgrade their lifestyles, secondly, purchase vehicles, and thirdly, provide for their families in case of an emergency. If you are a new-to-credit or loan-aspiring millennial, let’s take a look at how you can create a positive credit profile.
CIBIL data indicates that ~39% of loans were sanctioned to the millennial age group. Within this segment, 38% of loans sanctioned were towards credit cards, followed by two-wheeler loans (17%), and consumer loans (16%).
With most of you in the early stages of your careers, you are exposed to a longer credit lifecycle and may have a larger credit appetite. As per the survey, not only do you agree that loans are the best way to afford an expensive purchase, but are also financially conscious to repay debts on time.
Since access to credit is critical when making a big purchase and/or when there is a medical emergency, there may be a few aspects that new-to-credit millennial should be mindful of.
If you are a millennial, here are key steps that can help you maintain a healthy credit profile:
GETTING STARTED WITH CREDIT
- Create a credit footprint: If you have not used credit before, you will not have a history that lenders can refer to for granting a loan. You can create one by taking a consumer durable loan of a smaller amount (such as a smartphone purchase on EMI) that can be easily repaid.
- Apply for a credit card from the same bank where you have a salary account: A bank that already has your salary account is in a better position to offer you a credit card, primarily because you already have a relationship with them.
- Access credit responsibly: If you are a salaried individual, you may be receiving offers for credit cards with cash-back benefits and higher credit limits. The key is in knowing whether you truly need so many credit cards or not. Do not fall into a debt trap by taking on more cards than you can manage. Instead, start using one credit card responsibly to create a favourable credit history.
Make timely payments a habit: Once you do get a credit card, you need to be wary of two key dates—the billing date and, more importantly, the due date. Remember that a single failed payment can affect your credit health and CIBIL score for the next two years. This is because a CIBIL score is based on the last 24 months of credit behaviour, and, so, a failed payment today has a long-term effect on your score and your access to credit. A due date reminder on mobile phone will help in timely payment of dues.While these steps will definitely help you gear up for a positive credit profile, it is imperative to monitor your CIBIL score and report regularly. As you start availing of loan offers, your credit footprint will be recorded and will be a critical factor in determining your access to credit offers later. It is never too early to check your score to ensure correct credit history (or no history), and other information reflecting in your report. Like a reputation, your CIBIL score mirrors your past (credit) behaviour. It will take time and patience to build a good profile, so start working towards a positive credit footprint today.
- Know your credit limits. When availing credit offers, the most important factor to keep in mind is your credit utilisation limits. The optimum range would be to use up to 50% of your card utilisation limit, unless in an emergency. Maxing your cards and failing to pay on time can negatively impact your CIBIL Score.
While these steps will definitely help you gear up for a positive credit profile, it is imperative to check and monitor your CIBIL Score and Report regularly. As you start availing of loan offers, your credit footprint will be recorded and will be a critical factor in determining your access to credit offers later. It is never too early to check your Score to ensure correct credit history (or no history), and other information reflecting in your Report. Like a reputation, your CIBIL Score mirrors your past (credit) behaviour. It will take time and patience to build, so start working towards a positive credit footprint today.

First, my sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to read and comment on my book, and to Hans Madueme for organizing this exchange.
In his well-known book The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins asked, “Were we [humans] designed on a drawing board . . . our parts assembled by a skilled engineer?”Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker (London: Longman, 1986), 3. Here, beneath the metaphor and apart from his rhetorical motives, lies a very sensible and timeless question. In fact, although his no answer has become increasingly shrill in the decades since, Dawkins did at the time acknowledge the yes answer to be so natural that we’re surprised to learn that no is even conceivable. “I myself flatly refused to believe Darwin’s theory when I first heard about it as a child,” he wrote.
Leaving his atheism aside, which Dawkins was closer to a true understanding of how we came to be—Dawkins the child or Dawkins the adult? In other words, granting that the physical universe was made by God, is it more rational to accept or to reject the claim that a physical universe like ours doing what it naturally does for billions of years is bound to produce intelligent beings?
The main thesis of Undeniable is that even without a science PhD or a prestigious academic position or an impressive title, each of us has ample basis for rejecting that claim. Accordingly, I end chapter 9 by boiling the argument of Undeniable down to a single sentence (160): “Functional coherence makes accidental invention fantastically improbable and therefore physicallyThe main thesis of Undeniable is that even without a science PhD or a prestigious academic position or an impressive title, each of us has ample basis for rejecting that claim. impossible.” By the time readers reach this sentence, they have read several chapters that unpack the meaning. Briefly, physical objects that accomplish high-level functions always require a clever arrangement of parts within parts (functional coherence) in order to do so, which makes cleverness a key ingredient for their origin. For such things to arise from causes that have no ability to conceive them would be so improbable as to be completely unbelievable, and you don’t need a math PhD to see this. The individual improbabilities of getting any single part right by chance multiply so rapidly that the probability of getting the whole thing right is indistinguishable from zero, practically speaking.
Tellingly, three of my four critics make no mention of this centerpiece of the book, even though it is hard to miss: highlighted in a box on page 160 with the all-caps heading SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT, followed on page 162 with a full-page visual illustration, and referred to numerous times from that point on. Despite the prominence I gave it, Joel Duff is the only one who even mentions it! So, whatever the other three think they’ve accomplished with their criticisms, they certainly haven’t refuted the main thesis of Undeniable.
Duff deserves the first response.
Undeniable Separates Argument from Intuition
In short, I would point him back to the final paragraph of chapter 9, where I urge readers who think the argument is wrong to “make sure the argument you disagree with is the one I’m making” (161). The summary illustration on page 162, which depicts a boy holding an origami crane, shows that there are two ways for the boy to conclude that someone made this crane. One is by immediate intuition, represented by the thought How was this made? (shown in a thought bubble). The other is by reasoning, spelled out in the illustration as a six-step thought process that applies the book’s argument to the origami crane.
The book suggests that our design intuition amounts to having an eye for cleverness, and that the sort of cleverness we spot so easily is closely associated with functional coherence, but it doesn’t insist on this. In chapter 2 (19), after acknowledging intuitions to be “such slippery things that we can hardly give an adequate firsthand account of them, much less a general account for all of humanity,” I suggest the above interpretation of our intuitive judgement of design, immediately qualifying this with: “whether there is one standard way we reach these judgments is not crucial to what follows” (20).
On page 88, I preface the argument against accidental invention (which I lay out in chapters 7–9 and then apply to life in chapter 10) by explicitly distinguishing this argument from the design intuition:
The way forward is to recognize that whatever value we place on the design intuition, we can certainly reason without it. Without rejecting intuition, we can lean instead on observation and calculation to decide whether we should expect a universe like ours to produce busy wholes like spiders.
In spite of this clear distinction, nearly all the questions that Duff says he found himself asking as he read Undeniable show that he got so distracted by the design intuition that he lost sight of the argument. I never suggested that intuition or common sense are generally reliable. I didn’t build my argument on intuition. Instead, I provided a specific commonsensical argument that justifies one specific intuition—the one that tells us life must be designed.
I based my argument on very simple aspects of probability, hoping that anyone who wants to follow the argument can. To his credit, Duff does eventually turn his attention to probabilities, though not to the argument of Undeniable. He mentions Corona Arch, one of countless features of the non-living world that are strikingly beautiful. And, of course, he and I share the belief that God,The question, however, is whether it’s plausible to think God could have employed these ordinary physical causes to create life: Are we like Corona Arch in this key respect? as the maker of the elements and the natural forces that shape them, is the maker of all of these things. The question, however, is whether it’s plausible to think God could have employed these ordinary physical causes to create life: Are we like Corona Arch in this key respect?
Here’s how Duff’s critique misses this crucial point. In chapter 8, I use random dropping of pins in Google Maps as an analogy for finding very rare things by chance. I point readers to geomidpoint.com/random, where they can experiment with the difficulty of hitting a small target by chance with a dropped pin that could land anywhere on the planet. I do this in preparation for showing readers that some targets are so small that it’s effectively impossible for them to be hit.
Of course, one can always pretend to have hit a very small target by reversing the order—drawing the target around the pin after it has already landed. Duff employs exactly this ruse. For Corona Arch to be a legitimate target, we must ask whether wind and erosion can produce its likeness after we have made that the goal. The question, then, is whether it’s possible for wind and erosion to produce an exact replica of Corona Arch, down to the most minute detail. The obvious answer is no—practically speaking, the odds of this happening are indistinguishable from zero.
But if the target is a stone arch of any kind, then I agree with Duff that this target is very likely to be hit on an earthlike planet. Consistent with this, a natural arch isn’t the kind of thing that triggers our design intuition by impressing us with its functional coherence. It certainly isn’t what I call a busy whole: “an active thing that causes us to perceive intent because it accomplishes a big result by bringing many small things or circumstances together in just the right way” (68). Nor is it a “big result” of this kind. It’s a rock formation—an attractive one, but not something altogether above rock formations, the way a computer chip stands well above the silicon from which it is made.
In this respect, the wonders of biology are dramatically unlike Corona Arch. These living wonders do trigger our design intuition, and while my book suggests that they do so because we immediatelyI’m finding that people with little or no science background can grasp the argument of Undeniable, but it’s also very understandable that accomplished scientists can miss the argument. perceive the hallmarks of high-level functional coherence, the functional coherence itself is a plain fact, independent of our intuition.
This is the second place where Duff’s arch analogy breaks down. No natural process can explain life unless it can explain how high-level functional coherence, one of the most prominent characteristics of life, happens by chance. That’s the target that must be hit by any naturalistic theory of life—a true target—and as I show in Undeniable, it can’t be hit at all! Nothing at all with this property has ever happened by accident or will ever happen by accident!
I’m finding that people with little or no science background can grasp the argument of Undeniable, but it’s also very understandable that accomplished scientists can miss the argument. Nobody reads as a blank slate. We all bring our prior understanding to everything we read, and this has a huge effect on how we read. Everyone should read critically, but some go beyond that by actively resisting the author. That inevitably makes it hard to understand the intended meaning.
The Cost of Condescension
Attitude can be a good indicator of this resistance. Speaking of me, Cara Wall-Scheffler says: “I do authentically find it difficult to believe that someone with access to the resources (Cambridge!) and training (CalTech!) that he has had can be so imprecise in his language.” Extending her condescension, she adds: “I am inclined to believe that he might actually not have bothered to understand how evolution works: given his ‘intuition,’ perhaps it was simply not worth the mental effort to understand the mechanisms and data that have built up over the past hundreds of years.”
Those aren’t the words of someone interested in serious engagement. Strong criticism of ideas is fine. Condescending dismissal of people isn’t. Notice that by speaking this way publicly, she is broadcasting an attitude. Bright young biologists are listening to her broadcast. Any who might have been thinking of applying for a faculty position in her department know exactly what they’re in for if (God forbid) they think life is designed. So, they don’t apply, or they learn to “adapt” to their work environment. Healthy scientific debate is stifled either way.
Welcome to academic consensus.
The Fox and the Gripes
Keith Fox stops short of implying that I’m stupid, which is refreshing. I’ve interacted with him before, and I feel his pain whenever I read his critiques of my work. I think I give him indigestion.
If so, his irritation might say more about his acid reflux than it does about my book. Rarely does he attempt to back up his criticisms of Undeniable with a quote, and when he does, the quote never seems to make his point. For example, instead of reading my alphabet-soup thought experimentKeith Fox stops short of implying that I’m stupid, which is refreshing. I’ve interacted with him before, and I feel his pain whenever I read his critiques of my work. I think I give him indigestion. for what it is—a thought experiment—Fox objects to it as though it were a “model” of protein evolution. That’s his interpretation, not mine. A few more examples. Fox says “reading [Axe’s] words gives the impression that the options are binary.” Fox had that impression, anyway. He says there’s “implicit anti-intellectualism throughout the book.” Implicit to Fox, that is. “Axe’s book makes the implicit assumption that biology is goal-directed.” Again, that’s how Fox read it, and again he offers that impression without quoting the book. “Many of Axe’s arguments seem to assume that the enzymes that we have today were first generated in their present highly efficient forms.” Seemed that way to him, I guess. Certainly not to me.
Oddly, with respect to this last point, Fox’s next paragraph criticizes the very aspect of my 2004 paper in the Journal of Molecular BiologyDouglas Axe, “Estimating the Prevalence of Protein Sequences Adopting Functional Enzyme Folds,” Journal of Molecular Biology 341 (2004), 1295-1315. that shows I went to great lengths to measure the difficulty of generating enzymes that are not in their present highly efficient forms. I did indeed prepare a highly mutated, temperature-sensitive form of the enzyme I was studying, and I did so in order to measure the prevalence of gene sequences that encode weakly functional versions of this enzyme. Seems as though I can’t win with him.
Moving to more personal criticisms, Fox refers to my “dismissal of anyone who disagrees with [me] as being blinded and part of a corrupt system,” but those are his words, not mine. I certainly reject what I call the utopian view of science: “the idea that science, though practiced by humans, has managed to rid itself of the human flaws that leave their mark on every other human undertaking.” But to say that science is a thoroughly human undertaking is not to say that it is corrupt. Nor is criticism of a person’s ideas the same as dismissal of the person.
Similarly, Fox refers to my supposed “personal attacks” on Alan Fersht and the late Max Perutz, complaining of me “accusing them of bias and closemindedness.” Again, that’s Fox’s indigestion speaking. In Undeniable I give a factual personal account of my interactions with these men. To keep myself honest and respectful, I sent this full account to Alan and exchanged emails with him before Undeniable was published.
After recounting in chapter 4 how Alan fired me from the Centre for Protein Engineering in Cambridge, I say (52):
The truth is that I may well have opted for the same solution if I had been in Alan’s position. After all, challenging the evolutionary story was my calling, not Alan’s. I am the one who accepted the risk of pursuing research I knew would lead to a confrontation with the scientific establishment. Since I had never consulted Alan on that aspect of my direction, it would have been presumptuous of me to think he would be willing to shoulder some of that risk himself.
How Fox can possibly construe this as a personal attack is beyond me. Certainly, Alan himself made no such accusation.
And as for Max Perutz, here is my “personal attack” (36): “Max Perutz, the small giant who deservedly occupies a position in the history of science well above that of most Nobel Laureates, was as human as you and I are.”
In the end, Fox’s accusation of arrogance on my part really boils down to a charge of insubordination. The difference between these two charges is revealing, I think. When Fox is addressing scientists, he readily acknowledges how flawed the practice of scienceI would suggest that the intellectual elitism he abides by and expects others to abide by—where the scientific consensus is to be accepted without question on all aspects of physical reality—is itself foolishly arrogant. is—the “skewed system of values” behind the fact that “much of what is perceived as ‘cutting-edge’ research in the biological sciences cannot readily be reproduced.”David R. Corey, Jo Ann Wise, Keith R. Fox, and Barry L. Stoddard, “Breakthrough Articles: Putting Science First,” Nucleic Acids Research 42.18 (2014),11273-74. Not a pretty picture. However, he presents a very different picture to the general public, as though he expects everyone to show due deference to their scientific superiors. From his conflicted elitist perspective, any challenge to the evolutionary story looks like insubordination. To Fox, then, the mere fact that I argue against this official story has to be interpreted as an act of arrogant disrespect: “he considers that he alone is right and the greater number of other eminent scientists are… wrong.”
I definitely think the greater number of eminent scientists are wrong (including Fox), but you’ll find nothing in the book to suggest I think that I alone am right. This tactic of isolating dissenters, as though each one (among hundreds) is alone in their arrogant delusions, is the only way Fox can prop up his naïve notion that the scientific consensus is always right. He himself has bowed to that consensus. Though Fox has done excellent molecular science in his own field, molecular evolution is not his field. Having himself accepted the evolutionary story uncritically by bowing to the evolutionary authorities, he expects everyone else to do likewise, and it bothers him when they don’t.
To be clear, although I fully recognize the role and value of scientific expertise, I think it’s foolish to think that a bunch of people with all the usual human faults working in a community with a “skewed system of values” can be trusted to give us unbiased answers to fundamentally important questions with obvious worldview implications. As I put it in chapter 3 (38):
We should by all means trust the scientific community to tell us how many moons orbit Neptune or how many protons are packed into the nucleus of a cobalt atom. Why would anyone distort facts of that kind? Matters where everyone wants to see things a certain way, however, are a completely different story. With those we should always apply a healthy dose of skepticism.
With respect to the charge of arrogance, then, I would suggest that the tables be turned. I won’t repeat Fox’s error by saying that he is arrogant. Instead, I would suggest that the intellectual elitism he abides by and expects others to abide by—where the scientific consensus is to be accepted without question on all aspects of physical reality—is itself foolishly arrogant.
I’ll finish my comments on Fox’s piece on a more positive note. One beautiful sentence in his critique shows that progress in the long and notoriously difficult debate between theistic evolution and intelligent design is possible. “Yes,” he concedes, “Axe’s results may lead us to question some aspects of the minutiae of protein evolution…” Now, if you’re new to the debate, this may sound too qualified to be significant, particularly when you read the rest of Fox’s sentence: “but that does not amount to a full-scale assault on the entire evolutionary paradigm.” To those of us who have been in this for a while, though, this is a rare and significant moment.
I’m absolutely serious. Having acknowledged that certain aspects of protein evolution are called into question by certain experiments, Fox has opened the door to serious scientific debate, and I sincerely thank him for doing this. As someone who isn’t an expert in evolution, Douglas Axe, “Three Good Reasons for People of Faith to Reject Darwin’s Explanation of Life,” in Theistic Evolution–A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique (Wheaton: Crossway, 2017), 84-85. he supposes that evolutionary scientists need to rethink only very minor aspects of the theory. But the question of just how minor these are is itself open to discussion. As Fox knows, proteins are small, but their role in biology is anything but minor. Furthermore, although I have elsewhere used technical science to show why evolution can’t explain the origin of biological proteins,See, for example: Douglas Axe, “The Case Against a Darwinian Origin of Protein Folds,” BIO-Complexity 2010(1), 1-12; Douglas Axe and Ann K. Gauger, “Explaining Metabolic Innovation: Neo-Darwinism versus Design,” in Robert J. Marks II, Michael J. Behe, William A. Dembski, Bruce L. Gordon, John C. Sanford, eds. Biological Information: New Perspectives (Singapore: World Scientific, 2013), 489−507; Douglas Axe and Ann K. Gauger, “Model and Laboratory Demonstrations That Evolutionary Optimization Works Well Only If Preceded by Invention—Selection Itself Is Not Inventive,” BIO-Complexity 2015(2), 1-15. in Undeniable I make a much more general and much less technical case against the evolutionary story. The inability of unguided evolutionary processes to invent the proteins we see in life is only one example of a very general problem, namely the comprehensive inability of accidental processes to invent anything that compares to biological complexity. The logical conclusion, then, is that Fox’s concession actually opens the door to a much more comprehensive re-evaluation of the state of evolutionary science than he supposes.
The Reason for Undeniable
My motive for framing Undeniable around common-sense reasoning, as opposed to technical reasoning, was strategic. I laid this out in chapter 5 (58):
My early recognition of the need to put Darwin’s theory to a rigorous technical test compelled me to devote two decades of my career to that need. I’m convinced those were years well spent, and yet I’ve also become convinced of an equally important complementary need: since most people will never master technical arguments, there is a desperate need for a nontechnical argument that stands on its own merits, independent of any technical work.
As with Keith Fox, the disapproval Dennis Venema expresses for this approach actually demonstrates the need for it.
Why do these men think their awkward hodgepodge of technical criticisms is appropriate for a symposium hosted by the Henry Center at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School?Knowing that the overwhelming majority of the intended readers here have no training in molecular evolution, why do they prefer a barrage of half-baked technical complaints to actual engagement of the book’s argument? Knowing that the overwhelming majority of the intended readers here have no training in molecular evolution, and knowing that Undeniable was written primarily for such people, why do they prefer a barrage of half-baked technical complaints to actual engagement of the book’s argument?
The answer is that Fox and Venema have a strategy too. Their target audience is Christian leaders, and their aim is to convince these leaders to surrender to the scientific authorities everything these authorities lay claim to. This includes both the history of the physical universe, back to its point of origin, and the claim that we humans are to be understood as physical things that developed out of this history. Venema and Fox lead by example, having themselves surrendered all of this vast territory on the landscape of truth.
To persuade others, they deploy the same authoritarian mindset that brought them into uncritical submission. In their minds, you aren’t supposed to evaluate their objections to my book. That’s not your place. Instead, you are to fear the condescending ridicule that comes from the atheist faction of the science establishment and do your best to minimize it by accepting nearly everything that faction says. Having surrendered all this out of fear, you are to hold bravely to the thought that the question of God’s existence itself, at least, lies outside the jurisdiction of this otherwise all-powerful science establishment.
In that context, you can see why people like Fox and Venema don’t appreciate my strategy. Way too empowering.
And too dangerous. Not dangerous for serious readers of Undeniable (who know full well I’m not advocating an anti-science or anti-intellectual approach) but dangerous for people who, having invested in the authoritarian view, don’t want to accept that the textbook account of life is not just false but obviously so.
That’s my take, anyway, and considering how central this connection to what is plainly true is to Undeniable, it’s regrettable that my critics mostly avoid it. My ongoing public discussion with theistic evolutionist Hans Vodder on Evolution News shows that respectful dialog on this main point is possible, even with someone who disagrees with it. I invite any of my four critics here to engage in that kind of dialog—focused on the argument of Undeniable and meant for a broad audience.

Do you feel like your child never puts her phone down? A research study published by Common Sense Media in summer 2012 found texting to be the most common form of digital communication among teenagers ages 13 to 17. The study revealed that 87% of teens in that age group had communicated by text, with 68% texting daily.
Younger kids are getting in on the action as well. "It's happening before sixth grade," says Shants Hart, Director of the Middle School at Park Tudor. Doug Stotts, Park Tudor's Head of Academic Technology, reports that many children begin using cell phones around fourth or fifth grade. Given the popularity of texting, what are its effects on kids' reading, writing and conversational skills?
We asked our Indy's Child readers for their thoughts on texting via an informal Facebook poll, and responses were mixed. Laura M. believes that "auto correct doesn't force [kids] to think or learn how to spell." In contrast, Jenny B., a teacher, does not feel texting has a negative impact on her students' skills. "They have to know the difference between 'school talk' and 'street talk,' so this falls into the same category," she writes.
Hart, however, believes texting "absolutely" has a negative effect on writing skills. She says students are unaccustomed to using conventions such as apostrophes and traditional spellings (i.e., "love" versus "luv") in their everyday written communications, and these texting tendencies sometimes make their way into school papers. Stotts says today's students need to understand how and when to "code switch" between informal texting language and more formal academic language.
A study published in The Journal of Computer Assisted Living in 2011 on texting and literacy abilities in adolescents, actually shows a positive correlation between texting language and reading skills. However, Hart believes the fast-paced nature of social communication has caused children to believe that paying attention to anything for more than a couple of minutes "is just really hard work." She stresses the importance of reading comprehension and says students must learn to read for detail. Interestingly, Hart feels she has not seen an impact on her students' ability to carry on an "out loud" conversation as a result of texting.
For parents concerned about texting's impact on their children, our interviewees offer some suggestions. Don't rush to provide toddlers and preschoolers with digital devices, says Hart. She recommends waiting until at least first or second grade when kids can actually benefit from educational apps.
For kids using devices, communication between child and parent is key, says Stotts. He recommends parents discuss screen time limits with their kids as well as consequences if rules are violated. Hart believes that parents need to closely monitor their children's text message behavior, especially during the impulsive adolescent years between ages 10 and 15. Parents should also model appropriate behavior, says Stotts. "You've got to show them what you expect and how you use your devices."
Regarding reading, Hart feels it's okay to read some things on a Kindle or iPad, but says, "I think that there's a lot of value in picking up an actual book." She recommends parents have their kids read for 15-20 minutes every night.
The bottom line? Texting and text speak are an inescapable part of modern life. "Sometimes we have parents approach us and they want to lock everything down," says Stotts, who believes this is the wrong method. Instead, Hart adds "Parents just have to be more involved now, because of the power of these tools."

Indigo In 1.3Free
Indigo In is a simple Mac application that helps you to manage your daily notes. This program might prove to be of good use whenever you're dealing with a very busy day and you're in need of a constant reminder of what you need to do before you run out of time.
The utility doesn't provide you with the possibility to create separate post-notes for each idea you wish to write. All memos are kept in a single window from where you can delete the notes you managed to complete, edit entries, and add new ones if necessary.
An advantage of working with this note taking tool is that it syncs the written notes across your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch by using iCould service. To do so, it's imperative to install the iOS version of the app on the aforementioned devices and connect them to the same iCloud account with Documents and Data sharing options enabled.
Another thing I like about this program is that it allows you to choose from some stylish text styles and change the size of your font according to your needs.
As a conclusion, I'd say it's worth installing this app on your Mac as it offers you a very simple and efficient way to keep track of your daily tasks. The program brings a straightforward interface, lets you sync memos across various devices, and comes without a price.
- Notes are synchronized between Indigo In on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using iCloud
- Couldn't find any disadvantages

On the surface, Bitcoin seems to be a great way to hide cash. Actually, it's a terrible way to launder money.
That's the conclusion of a new academic study that analyzed Bitcoin's blockchain, or the public ledger that records bitcoin transactions. The ledger shows how bitcoins move from one person to another, represented by 34-character alphanumeric addresses.
It's a sea of numbers without names. But researchers from the University of California at San Diego and George Mason University found it is a lot harder to convert bitcoins to cash -- or spend the bitcoins with a service -- and stay anonymous due to the ledger.
Most bitcoin users interact with a service to buy or sell the virtual currency. These days, most of those services want to know exactly who they're dealing with, especially as regulators around the world take an increasing interest in bitcoin.
Using special algorithms, the researchers were able to associate large numbers of seemingly anonymous bitcoins addresses with certain major services such as exchanges and payment processors, said Sarah Meiklejohn, a doctoral candidate in computer science at UC San Diego, who assisted in the research.
By analyzing those transactions, they found it is possible to somewhat deanonymize bitcoin users, opening up avenues through which investigators could reveal the people behind them.
For example, they linked more than 500,000 Bitcoin addresses with Mt. Gox, a popular exchange in Japan where users buy and sell bitcoins. Mt. Gox requires identification from its users, often including a scan of their passport. It wouldn't make sense for a hacker to cash out a large number of bitcoins there.
"We haven't uncovered the identity of the thief, but we've paved the way for law enforcement or an agency with subpoena power to do exactly that," Meiklejohn said.
The researchers analyzed details from bitcoin thefts. While there are sophisticated methods that can be used to cloud whether a bitcoin is indeed still held by a thief, many thieves became lazy after initially moving stolen funds around, Meiklejohn said.
"Maybe thieves and other criminals in the future are going to become a lot more sophisticated, but I think so far, people have not been particularly careful," she said.
Many bitcoin thefts have remained frozen: The victim saw what address their funds went to, but the funds have never moved, perhaps because the hacker is still mulling how to convert the virtual currency to cash or goods without being noticed.
Average bitcoin users appear to be unaware at how quickly their bitcoin spending could be linked back to them. The Silk Road, an online marketplace of mostly illicit goods, only accepts bitcoin.
"We saw a lot of people deposit into Silk Road directly from their Mt. Gox address," Meiklejohn said. In those cases, law enforcement would have minimal work to obtain the name of a user if they presented a legal order to Mt. Gox.
Money laundering is not impossible, but it is not particularly attractive with bitcoin. "It seems like an offshore account at this point would be a lot easier," she said.
Still, as long as bitcoin users are willing to take certain cumbersome steps, such as generating new bitcoin addresses for every transaction, staying off the exchanges and using other evasion techniques such as repeatedly forwarding funds, Bitcoin retains its privacy strengths.
"I do think inherently Bitcoin can provide you with a huge amount of anonymity, but the argument here is you have to work for it," Meiklejohn said. But most patterns of bitcoin use "indicate most users are falling short."
Meiklejohn co-authored the paper with Marjori Pomarole, Grant Jordan, Kirill Levchenko, Damon McCoy, Geoffrey M. Voelker and Stefan Savage.

THE tang of ocean breezes greets a visitor heading for Belle Harbor in the Rockaways as far inland as the intersection of Cross Bay Boulevard and the Belt Parkway.
The boulevard continues south past strip malls, wedding palaces and gas stations, then heads through the 9,100-acre Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and the Broad Channel neighborhood, and finally over the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge to the Rockaways peninsula.
Turn right and the road leads to Beach 127th Street, the historic gateway to Belle Harbor, a sleepy ocean-to-bay community of about 2,000 one- and two-family homes that are far removed -- and not only in distance -- from the throb of the mainland.
Here, time seems to have stood still since the 1920's and 1930's, when many of the homes were built. Basketball hoops have turned tree-shaded blocks into play areas. The scent of clover lawns and flowers in front gardens mingles with the sea air.
It isn't that the real world hasn't intruded on Belle Harbor in recent years. A number of residents were lost in the 9/11 terror attacks, and, just two months later, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed into Beach 131st Street, killing all 260 people on board and five on the ground.
Only one of the five houses destroyed in the crash has been rebuilt, but the other physical scars are gone, and the camaraderie inspired by the crash never faded, said Msgr. Martin T. Geraghty, pastor of the St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church on Beach 129th Street, which became a fulcrum in relief efforts. ''The experience heightened our sense of being a community,'' he said.
Only 4 blocks wide and 15 blocks long, Belle Harbor attracts mostly local traffic, and with access to the beach available from the foot of every street, most residents, trailing beach chairs, simply walk.
On weekends and holidays from May through September, when no-parking rules -- always in effect on beach blocks -- are extended to all residential streets, the curbs are empty of cars. In the stillness of a hot summer afternoon, the most pervasive sound is a banging screen door.
''Everyone is very neighborly,'' said Barbara S. Larkin, a retired elementary school teacher who is president of the Belle Harbor Property Owners Association. ''When you come over the bridge after a day in the city, you have a very peaceful, relaxed feeling to know that you are home to a serene, safe, mixed community -- young and old, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim -- where everyone for the most part gets along.''
The association serves 1,400 or so homeowners living between Beach 141st and Beach 130th Street, which the group considers the eastern boundary because that is where zoning permitting retail development and higher-density housing begins.
''One of the things I like about Belle Harbor is that no one knows it's here,'' said Mrs. Larkin's husband, Peter, a deputy director in the New York City comptroller's office and a lifelong resident of the community. The couple, whose two children are grown, live on Beach 136th Street in a side-hall colonial Mr. Larkin's parents bought in 1929.
Although houses needing renovations can still be found priced below $600,000, brokers say buyers must expect to pay at least $700,000 for even a small three-bedroom in good condition.
''People want this area because they want to be in a community where their kids can walk or bike to a friend's house, or play on the sidewalk, where it's safe and where they have a real sense of family and a sense of belonging,'' said Barbara J. Morris, owner of West End Realty on Beach 116th Street. The cheapest listing she has is a two-family on the market for $525,000, but it is boarded up and needs a complete renovation.
The neighborhood has an eclectic mix of bungalows, ranches, colonials and Tudors, with an occasional new house, especially on ocean blocks. Lot sizes generally run from 30 to 60 feet wide, and are 100 feet deep.
The median price has jumped to $850,000 from $450,000 five years ago, said Annette Farina, owner of Belle Harbor Realty on Beach 129th Street. Although high prices have locked out many of the families who traditionally bought homes here, namely city workers, especially police officers and firefighters, Mrs. Farina said that young families with two incomes and perhaps some help from parents can still make it work.
Her two sons, both New York City police detectives, live at home in the two-family house she and her husband, Eugene, bought in 1987 on Beach 133rd Street.
Rental apartments are available in the community's two-family houses, which were built or converted before current zoning laws imposed one-family restrictions on any new alteration or construction. Rentals range from $1,000 a month for a one-bedroom to $1,800 for a three-bedroom, Mrs. Farina said. The area has three small co-op apartment buildings where buyers can expect to pay $160,000 for a one-bedroom and $275,000 for a two-bedroom.
Neighborhood shopping is available along Beach 129th Street between Cronston and Newport Avenues, with several restaurants, a bakery, a meat market, a delicatessen, a pharmacy and a small grocery store. For more variety, there is a Waldbaum's supermarket on Beach 112th Street. Mainland shopping -- and a movie house -- are on the other side of the Marine Parkway Bridge. Residents pay a discounted one-way toll of 84 cents instead of $2. They cross free on the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge, which otherwise also costs $2.

As students prepare to begin college, they are also often taking more responsibility for their finances.
Even if parents pay for tuition, students may have to pay for meals, entertainment, books, gas, and clothing.
A majority will also make decisions about student loans (69 percent)1 and credit cards (59 percent)2.
Unfortunately, studies3 show that these young adults do not have the necessary financial knowledge or skills, leaving them floundering and stressed.
Student Financial Stress
The Student Financial Wellness Survey’s results4 show that students are worried about paying tuition, meeting monthly bills, and student loans – and for good reason.
The same study found that three out of four students have run out of money in the past 12 months, with 34 percent running out five times or more.
Financial stress in students leads to poor:
- Physical health5 – Fatigue, stomach issues, headaches, and chest pains
- Mental health6 – Hopelessness, overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, depressed, and anxious
- Coping behaviors7 – Smoking, drinking, drugs, overeating, and oversleeping
These problems ultimately lead to poor educational outcomes.
According to the National College Health Assessment8, students report that financial stress causes them to receive lower grades, study less for tests, drop courses, and even drop out of school.
That’s why helping incoming students understand financial wellness concepts and learn valuable financial skills is so important.
Learn what has become one of the most desired college student programs for 2021.
Offering Financial Advice
Colleges and universities are sitting in a prime spot to offer incoming students advice to help them manage their personal finances.
As they learn strong financial habits and make wise financial decisions, they will be able to create a stronger financial future.
So, this year, when students arrive on campus, consider offering them financial advice as part of their welcome package.
Here are eight solid pieces of advice:
Create a Budget
If students don’t have a plan, then they are planning to fail.
At the very least, students should know what their monthly spending limit is and keep track of their earning and spending.
Think Before You Spend
Once money is spent, it is gone forever.
If students can stop and think before spending, they have the opportunity to make informed choices.
In this way, they will have money when they need it.
Many students spend money on entertainment, so this would be a good place to list the free student events offered on campus, as well as any local student discounts.
When colleges and universities offer a holistic financial wellness program, students are able to make more informed financial decisions
Saving Should Come First
When a student gets a paycheck or a check from mom and dad, they should immediately put some of that money into savings.
The Student Financial Wellness survey found that 63 percent of college students currently have no way to get $500 if they needed it.
Having an emergency fund will help students pay for unexpected costs and keep them from running out of money mid-semester – and, according to iGrad data, having an emergency savings account reduces financial stress.
Learn About Your Future
Before settling on a particular major, students should investigate the job opportunities associated with that degree.
What kinds of jobs are available?
How many jobs are available?
How much do entry-level employees make?
This will help them make more informed financial decisions.
Evaluate Student Loan Debt
The rule of thumb says that a student’s loan balance at the end of school should be no more than the anticipated annual salary upon graduation.
This will help keep student loan payments below 15 percent of a student’s take-home pay.
Instead of taking on greater debt, students may consider working part-time, taking summer employment, seeking scholarships, or potentially changing their major.
iGrad recently launched Student Loan Debt Letters in an effort to make students more aware of their current student loan balances and future payments after graduating.
Finish School On Time
Students need to understand that if they do not finish school, they will still have the responsibility of paying off their student debt.
Paying off debt without a degree is difficult because the likelihood is that they won’t have a good-paying job.
Additionally, finishing school on time will also save them money. Each semester in school means more loans, and more loans mean more debt.
Be sure to provide students with the contact information for the Financial Aid Office and Academic Counseling to get the needed guidance.
To learn more about how providing a financial wellness program can increase graduation rates, check out "Do Financial Literacy Programs Increase College Graduation Rates?"
Participate in the School’s Financial Wellness Program
Students who participate in financial wellness programs learn how to create a budget, understand their financial aid, make appropriate decisions about student loans, save for emergencies, understand how to handle credit cards, get out of debt, and create new financial habits.
By offering students financial wellness, you can help students become financially self-sufficient while completing their degree – a skill that will serve them well throughout their lives.

In July 2015, a report (by ‘SACN’) was released, giving new recommendations about the maximum amount of sugar we should eat, and also increasing the amount of fibre we eat. It re-classified the sugar we want to avoid as ‘free sugars’. Free sugars include all sugars added to products by the manufacturer (e.g. shop bought biscuits), cook (e.g. home baking) or consumer (e.g. table sugar sprinkled on cereal), plus all sugars naturally present in syrups, honey and unsweetened fruit juice. It does not include sugars naturally present in fruit (dried, fresh), vegetables, cereals, grains and the lactose in dairy products.
So what does the SACN report actually recommend?
So, I thought I’d do a little test, and see how easy if was to achieve these recommendations! I asked for a volunteer using my Facebook page, and I have included her intake, along with her free sugar and fibre intake for each meal and snack below. Based on her day’s calorie intake (2200 kcal), I calculated that her free sugar intake should not exceed 27.5g. Fibre intake should be 30g a day, as per adult recommendations – fibre intake is not expressed as a percentage of energy intake like free sugars are.
|Meal / snack||Foods & drinks||Free sugars (g)||Fibre (g)|
|Breakfast||60g Tesco fruit & fibre with milk
100ml pure orange juice
|Morning snack||Cadbury Brunch Bar with cup of tea (milk, no sugar)||12||0.7|
|Lunch||Sausage, spinach and pickle sandwich on 2 slices of wholemeal bread
½ packet of plain crisps
Water to drink
Cup of tea (milk, no sugar)
|Dinner||2 grilled chicken thighs
5 small roast potatoes
40g broccoli, 60g green beans. 80g carrots
Low salt gravy
|Evening||Medium glass red wine
2 digestive biscuits
So you can see from this intake, that the majority of the free sugar came from breakfast (a combination of 9g from the fruit & fibre which contains added sugar (the sugar from the dried fruit is not counted), and 10g from the orange juice)), and the Brunch Bar. Swapping to porridge sweetened with fresh fruit, and a mid-morning snack of a handful of unsalted nuts would dramatically bring the free sugar intake down.
More information on the sugar content of fruit juices and smoothies can be found here.
Fibre recommendations were almost met. Again a simple swap to 40g of porridge oats (with milk added), and a handful each of blueberries and strawberries would provide 7.2g of fibre instead of the 4.6g from the fruit and fibre. Alternatively, fibre intake could be increased by swapping the two digestive biscuits for an oat cake, ½ pepper and 1 tablespoon hummus for dipping (an increase from 1g to 3.6g fibre).

If I liked them once, chances are I’ll probably like them again. So new releases by previously featured artists are always exciting. At least, until I get through the preview stage – then some are, on occasion, disappointing. But not this crew. It’s all pretty solid stuff from artists that I particularly dug the first time I encountered them.
Ezra Furman blew into my 2015 with a tantalizing catalogue of material: neo-1960s girl group meets Bob Dylan transitioning out of folk music, with just a dash of new wave and punk and cross-dressing. He lit up the now-closed Silver Dollar in Toronto with an eclectic and electric show that autumn with a both in-your-face punk and deeply vulnerable performance. This guy is a must-see performer if he comes near your town. Furman has a new album – Transangelic Exodus – set to drop in February of next year, with a few teaser singles available now. But I prefer here to draw from his year old EP Big Fugitive Life, which nicely showcases the incredible range of his talent. Just check out “Little Piece of Trash” with its neo-1950s vibe, particularly that honking sax. But just when you think Furman is doing nostalgia he breaks out an amazing frenetic chorus featuring great punky-new wave hooks. “Teddy I’m Ready” is another strong track from this EP with its brilliantly understated and tender vocal. Little Piece of Trash
Canadian David Myles is surely a reincarnation of Buddy Holly. He looks the part and his new album Real Love sounds like it takes up where Buddy would have left off in 1959. Myles has an amazing ear for the period – there’s a bit of Elvis, a lot of Marty Robbins, a hat tip to Roger Miller, and Buddy obviously. And yet this is not just a space age revival record. Unmistakable contemporary twists can be heard all throughout the album. Title track “Real Love” stretches its melody out of its neo-1950s groove here and there. The horns on tracks like “Look at Me” don’t quite obey the period norms. But as with all Myles releases, it is the songwriting that pulls everything together. The subtle and understated performance of “If You Want Tonight” underplays its classic song structure. I can hear Elvis or Marty doing this one. “Cry, Cry, Cry” is so Buddy. “Everybody Knows” opens large with a scat vocal reminiscent of so many Roger Miller records but quickly segues into a catchy period number. “Easy” also sounds very early 1960s with its slightly discordant vocals. Myles is big time love-song-singer and fittingly the album ends with the beautiful “Crazy to Leave.” Slip this baby on and teleport to those make-believe simpler times.
If You Want TonightEverybody Knows
We went a bit wild for Berwanger’s back catalogue when we discovered it here at Poprock Record. The gleeful mixture of classic and indie rock, shamelessly tuneful, vibing a range potentially stretching from the Vaccines to the Tom Petty. The new record And the Star Invaders continues the band’s sonic mission to explore and inhabit new musical territory. Opening track “The Star Invaders” begins with Berwanger’s familiar catchy rhythm guitar but then suddenly shifts into a ‘she’s gone’ mini-chorus that sounds straight out the New Pornographers songbook. The hooks in this song are so addictive they should require a prescription. So too “Horror Show” starts off low key only to break out into a swinging poprock delight at the 37 second mark and never lets up. “Broken Moon” breaks out the acoustic guitars to ghost up a really nice but more meandering melody. All ain all, another strong outing.
I couldn’t get enough of Good Old War when I stumbled across their perfectly modulated poprock single “Broken Record.” The production, the tightly arranged acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies, the nice School House Rock nod with the double stop ahhs. Really, it was a mini-masterpiece. How could I know it was an outlier on a record that was itself a departure from their usual sound? In the end it didn’t matter. I fell in love with all the great songs on Broken into Better Shape with its slicker, more produced sound than their previous more folky vibe. Almost as a nod to older fans, the band followed up the record by releasing a series of more acoustic versions of some of the songs from the album. Now their new Part of Me EP scales back the production for a return to their earlier simpler sound. “The River” opens things up with a nice swinging melody, title track “Part of Me” is a finger picking slower mediation on love and belonging, while “Oak Tree” sounds like a traditional country folk ballad you might hear in church, if people in your church could sing. A very nice something to tide us over until a new album arrives.The RiverNever Gonna See Me Cry (Acoustic)
