So how do you make a transition back into a lifestyle that will help you keep up with your kids?
Hey guys! Do you want the physique of a Greek god? You can do that by working out and eating right.
However, you might also want to make sure you're not sabotaging your weight-loss and sculpting efforts! You can learn about the common mistakes men make in the gym that keeps them from their most perfect form.
Some people really like working out but hate going to the gym because it can be intimidating or annoying.
But, it doesn't have to be if everyone is respectful. That is something that Planet Fitness promotes.
When it comes to working out, getting yourself to the gym is often the hardest part. But, it doesn't have to be.
Personal trainers say you just have to find out what gets you off the couch and out the door. That motivation might come from the scale, your doctor, or an upcoming event.
It's cold outside ... but today at the gym, folk were breaking a sweat.
Tight and sore muscles don't really help when it comes to convincing yourself to go to the gym.
But there is something actually at the gym, that can help you smooth out the knots.

Author: Maggie Stiefvater
Genre: YA Paranormal/Fantasy
Length: 438 Pages (Hardcover)
Release: April 2016
My Rating: 4/5 Stars
Upon finishing this book I am rather conflicted. If you have followed any of my reading of the previous three books in the series, you probably know that while I really like them they aren't my absolute favorites. I think I had too many expectations for this book, and while I did love parts of it, others fell flat. So that 4 stars might dip down to a 3 or 3.5, I'm not entirely sure.
The thing that I absolutely love about this series is the characters. Maggie crafts the best characters (maybe the best characters I've ever read). The entire series it was the characters more than the plot that kept me invested. And that continued to be the case here. I love them all, for various reasons. Blue is eccentric and individual and I enjoyed the introspection she was forced to have during this book. Gansey is kind and full of himself naturally. Adam is abused and healing and I loved his progression from book one to the end, it was beautiful. Ronan is full of himself but hiding his broken pieces and he's been my favorite from near the beginning. Noah is, well, SPOILER dead, but still added so much to the overall story.
In general I really enjoyed the side characters as well. Blue's psychic family, Gansey's aristocratic one, Ronan's brothers, and Adam's...well, I didn't like Adam's family, for obvious reasons if you've read the previous books. The Gray Man was great, even all of the crazy magical artifact dealers were cool. The only character that I can't completely get behind is...Henry. He became a really big part of this book and its plot, but I never could really like him. Maybe I'm just too much like Ronan and Adam and felt that he threatened the friendship dynamic going on already, I'm not sure. But he just didn't work for me.
The writing, as usual, is rather beautiful. If you're not a fan of Maggie's writing, I can understand that. Her style is not for everyone, but it's very poetic in general and I appreciate that. There were a lot of twists and turns along the way that I appreciated and they were beautifully written.
One thing that bothers me most is that there wasn't much communication in this book. It felt like no one ever said anything. Ok, that's not entirely true. But there was so much that needed to be said and it just never was. I didn't like that. The other thing is the ending. While the epilogue was fairly satisfactory, I didn't find the climax of the story to be great. The lead up was perfectly executed, but that piece just fell flat. It felt like the first half or over was a perfect lead up for some crazy stuff and then...nothing. Like a chapter of crazy and then it's all resolved. And again with the communication. We got no conversations after the huge events that took place. Not one between our main gang. That was a disappointment.
But that cover is stunning! I would recommend reading this because while it's not completely satisfying, it is a nice installment in the series. And I would buy it just for that cover, and I'm not a cover buy type of person.

“After dinner we walked our neighborhood route. Priscilla made it one quarter of the way around on her own and then needed to lean heavily on my arm the rest of the way, stopping often and struggling mightily. Quite a change in only a few months.”
– From my journal, August 2012
Priscilla and I had always enjoyed exercising together, particularly walking, biking, and swimming. We were still taking 10- to 12-mile bicycle rides as far into her disease progression as April 2012. (We did one of the rides that month with a student half our age, who invited Priscilla to set the pace, and then said at the end she’d found it a bit fast!)
But walking was by far our favorite shared exercise, because it gave us a chance to talk out how everything was going in life as we “got away from it all” for a little while. I shared in an earlier post how Priscilla’s symptoms first became perceptible on a walk, and how the increasing difficulty of getting around our 2½-mile neighborhood route provided an indicator of their progression.
The walk described in the quote above was the last one we took all the way around that route. The next thing we tried was doing half of it earlier in the day, and the other half later in the day. Unfortunately this was still too difficult.
Then Priscilla had an idea. She still had the aluminum walker she’d needed to use after the car accident we’d been in some years before. Now she thought of getting snap-on wheeled attachments for the bottom of its legs, to replace the simple rubber pads that were there. (It was only months later that her friend at the medical lending closet gave her the deluxe walker.) The streets and sidewalks wouldn’t be smooth enough, or clean enough of debris, for the small wheels such attachments had. But there was a newly paved off-road fitness trail just a mile from our house. Priscilla believed the customized walker would do just fine there, giving her good support so she could continue walking.
So we visited some medical supply stores and Priscilla found just what she was looking for. The front wheels even swiveled for easier steering. While she test-drove the new equipment around the store, I started joking with the clerk. “What did I do this weekend? Oh, my vehicle was in the shop.” “Tire rotation,” he quipped in response.
The wheeled walker worked perfectly. We’d drive over to the trail, park by an entrance, and head out into nature. At first Priscilla could go nearly the distance of our old neighborhood route. It was bittersweet to see this distance shorten a little bit each time as we continued to enjoy our walks together, now in even more scenic surroundings. But as late as Thanksgiving we were still using the trail, thanks to unseasonably warm fall weather.
However, over the winter her symptoms progressed further, to the point where even a short walk on a smooth, paved trail had become too much once spring returned. We also had to give up biking because of energy and balance issues. Nevertheless, Priscilla could still swim beautifully. We’d joined a local fitness center a year and a half before, and swimming had initially strengthened her muscles enough to offset some of the weakness the disease was causing. Now this became her main exercise. Though it was increasingly time-consuming, eventually taking over three hours per session, we made every effort to go swimming at least twice a week.
It was fascinating to watch her get into the pool. She would use the walker to get to the ladder at the deep end, balance precariously between its upper railings, lean forward until she started falling, and in midair suddenly achieve perfect diving form (because her muscles were no longer bearing weight) and slip gracefully underwater.
Swimming gave Priscilla more than another year of very beneficial exercise after she had to stop taking walks, even as the progression of the disease forced her to take new approaches to keep going. After one swim in January 2013 she looked over to me from her lane and said, “I’m afraid I’m not going to be able to climb out by the ladder any more.” So we swam together down to the shallow end and took the stairs, with her clutching the railing all the way up. But we’d learned not to think of things like this as “milestones in deterioration.” Rather, we decided, the stairs were our friends. They were helping us to keep doing what we wanted to do.
In mid-August 2013 Priscilla asked me to bring her in to the pool in the transport wheelchair. Previously she’d been walking from the parking lot to the pool with her walker, but lately this had been using up all her energy before she even got to swimming. So instead of going separately into the men’s and women’s locker rooms, we started sharing a handicapped bathroom for changing and showering.
Only a couple of weeks later she found that climbing the stairs out of the pool had become too much for her. But it was equipped with a lift chair (which worked by hydraulics, of course), and the lifeguards very kindly lowered it into the pool for her upon request and raised her out once she was buckled in. I would bring over the transport wheelchair from the ladder at the other end of the pool. Priscilla never needed the hydraulic chair to get into the pool—right to the end she did that graceful dive.
The next month, because we felt that we still had a lot of swimming ahead of us, we both bought new goggles, and Priscilla got a bathing suit that came in two pieces but looked just like a one-piece suit for swimming laps once it was on. Changing had become quite a struggle and this made things easier.
One day shortly after this, Priscilla swam her usual mile, even though she could barely use her legs, and then asked the lifeguard, “Would you please lower the lift chair into the pool for me?” “Why?” she responded. She’d come on shift after we started, and she hadn’t noticed any difference between Priscilla and the other swimmers.

So we went on a minibreak to Edinburgh.
We did all the usual tourist bits.
The boys loved the Camera Obscura, which has all sorts of optical illusions on display.
Boy 1 really enjoyed seeing Boy 2 like this.
This is the view from the top of the Camera.
I enjoyed visiting the Royal Yacht Britannia, now permanently on display at Leith. It appealed to my nosy, looking around someone's house, side.
The Queen had a very modest single bed on the yacht.
And so did Prince Philip.
The yacht was a self sufficient organism - including a huge laundry for all those white naval uniforms. The Captain had to change outfits up to 18 times a day!
Here are some views from Edinburgh Castle.
Fortunately for my ears and world peace in general, I stopped Boys 1 and 2 buying anything in this shop:

A first for me today: voting! I was pretty excited. I think it was because it was something new, a requirement and privilege bestowed on me that had never been bestowed on me before because I was underage. In other words: it was for ‘big people’, and I had never been ‘big enough’ to do it before! I have never been very interested in politics, unless it had to do with watching the votes roll in during the federal elections. (I don’t know why that, of all things, interested me at age nine or eleven, but it did.) However, politics is starting to make a bit more sense now, thus growing more interesting. Slowly. Today was our state elections for W.A.
We walked up the entrance and found Josh (who has a great blog and talks about Australian politics) handing out how-to-vote cards for the Liberals (side note for Americans: Liberal is Australia’s major conservative party, not liberal as in the left-wing party Americans associate the word with. And Australians, please, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to get into a fight over politics with you!) I thought the blue t-shirt was pretty cool; I wanted one too. Anyway; we thought we’d better take a photo to represent my first day voting and Josh’s involvement in local politics.
World, here we come!

Stephen Amell to celebrate hitting 3 million LIKES on his fanpage, answered 50 questions submitted by fans.
Few of the questions were how cold it was during the battle with Ra’s al Ghul in the mid-season finale, another was if he wants to share a scene with his cousin Robbie Amell who plays Firestorm on The Flash and whether or not Arrow can beat Firestorm in a fight.
While answering how cold it was during the battle with Ra’s al Ghul, Amell goes into detail why he was shirtless during that scene and here’s the quote:
“I was really, really cold. It was — let’s go with Celsius since the majority of the world is going to watch this and not just the United States of America — it was I’d say two degrees Celsius. And it was windy and it was raining,” Amell said. “And that’s one of the reasons why my left pectoral twitched in one of the scenes. The fight in and of itself, I was fine, because we were fighting, but the whole lead-up, I was cold. Cold, cold, cold. We’d been planning to do the fight shirtless for a number of reasons. The first one, I had suggested it to the producers because I didn’t want my stunt double Simon doing one single thing. I love you, Simon. It turns out, though, that Batman and Ra’s al Ghul fighting shirtless on the top of a mountain is a very iconic image from the comic books, so we wanted to honor that as well.”

SINGAPORE--Asian telcos do not place enough emphasis on IT security, and their weakness lies in their ownership of numerous customer records, which can be exploited by cybercriminals.
According to Wong Loke Yeow, Asia-Pacific and Japan, marketing director of HP's enterprise security, telcos are an "interesting" sector as they prioritize generating revenue and keeping their subscribers from jumping to their competitors, and end up overlooking IT security.
This is a "cause for concern" because the number of cyberattacks are growing in the region and telcos are not focusing enough on protecting customer data, he said at a press briefing here Wednesday.
As cybercriminals have become more sophisticated, such records can "easily" be leaked out through various cyberattack methods, including hacking the network, data centers or database of telcos, or conducting social engineering through their call centers, he warned.
Wong's claims follow a recent spate of hackings on telcos in the region. In July, South Korean telco KT Corporation revealed that the personal data of 8.7 million subscribers had been stolen by hackers. In June, China Telecom's backend system was reportedly breached and had 900 login details of its administrators published.
With the proliferation of hacktivists whose motivations to attack organizations are "unpredictable", coupled by constant debate on subscription and data roaming charges, IT security should be a chief concern by telcos, he warned.
For instance, if a telco increases the cost of subscription, hacktivists may strike back with a denial of service (DoS)or expose their customer records, two common cyberattacks which have been perpetrated on many organizations worldwide, Wong said.
Furthermore, many data protection and privacy laws are starting to spring up in many countries in Asia, and telcos should comply with them to protect the privacy of individuals, he pointed out.
In contrast, the public sector and financial industry are the top two most "security aware" sectors in the Asia-Pacific region, he observed.
This is because they are the most targeted by cybercriminals due to the high level of transactions and large amount of sensitive data, he explained. These two industries are also the earliest adopters of technology to enhance their businesses, and so are able to understand the loopholes that pave way for cybercriminals and react quickly to attacks, he added.
Enterprises need to be more proactive over security
Wong's view comes in light of a study by Coleman Parkes Research, commissioned by HP released Wednesday, which found organizations in Asia-Pacific and Japan are becoming more proactive in their security approach.
80 percent of senior business and technology executives surveyed said their organizations' had a C-level executive in charge when it came to security, while 82 percent indicated they were exploring security information and event management (SIEM) measures.
Still, more focus is placed on reactive security measures rather than proactive ones. Less than half of respondents, at 48 percent have an information risk-management strategy in place, while 48 percent manually consolidate information risk-management reports or do not measure risk at all, which hinders their ability to proactively anticipate threats.
The survey comprised 550 phone interviews among senior business and technology executives within large enterprises of more than 1,000 employees and mid-market companies with between 500 to 1,000 employees in July 2012. Asia-Pacific countries surveyed include Australia, China, India, Japan and South Korea

2012 Violinist.com Tournament, Round 2, Day 2: Brahms vs. Sibelius
March 23, 2012 at 6:02 PM
We're in the second round, and we're narrowing things down to our favorites of the favorites. Today's decision is nearly impossible (for me, at least!) but let's think about these concertos. Which do you love to play, which do you love to hear? What kinds of things do these concertos do with the sound of the violin? What are your favorite recordings? Ultimately, which concerto do you favor?
Sibelius Violin Concerto vs. Brahms Violin Concerto
And some more listening for you:
Brahms Concerto, II. Adagio: Gidon Kremer, with conductor Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic.
Sibelius Violin Concerto, III. Allegro ma non tanto: Violinist Benjamin Beilman, at the final round of the Montreal International Musical Competition:
Brahms is nice and more popular so it will win. But Sibelius to me has 3 very characteristic movements who connect together as an incredible statement as a whole thing. Brahms 2. and 3. I am not so much a fan of. RIP Sibelius, my tournament-winner. But maybe I am spoiled being half finish...
From Paul Deck
Posted on March 23, 2012 at 8:40 PM
I voted for the Brahms but frankly it was hard to enjoy either one of the linked performances because they're using shoulder rests. Sigh.
Just to make it more difficult, the recordings pit Bernstein/Kremer against Beilman. Still, Sibelius takes the prize.
From Gene Huang
Posted on March 23, 2012 at 8:59 PM
Tough one, but I voted Sibelius.
From Davis King
Posted on March 23, 2012 at 9:25 PM
@Paul Deck... What is wrong with shoulder rests? Many people in my studio play without them, but my neck is so long I'd hurt myself if I tried playing without one. Shouldn't it come down to each player's body and preference? Few things are one way...
I went with Sibelius. No other concerto paints the same pictures and evokes the same mood.
my belief in humanity is reborn! Sibelius to me is an expression wich I never heard in that strength somewhere else. I thought it appeals to me because of my roots. but I remember back when I was 16 I startet violin again because I wanted to sometimes play this concerto. Because of lack of notes I started to play it from the recording. I came not very far, but today I am at least able to play first and second movement. And yes, it was totally worth the 10 years of work at the violin! Ida Haendel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCvs_eWVw7g
Lol I went with Sibelius thinking for sure I'd be a rebel this time guess I'm just not as bad a** as I thought I was.I love these two for the same reason the orchestration for both is amazing but while the Brahms engages my mind and my heart the Sibelius speaks to my very soul.
Just FYI, I got automatically signed out through the night, so in order to see who was winning this morning I had to vote again. So take one vote from the Sibelius total. It wouldn't be fair for me to get two votes (although I live in the Chicago area and such things are not unheard of here).
Wayne - not to worry, same thing happened to me so I voted for Brahms again. Thus we cancel each other out.
Only difference is I wasn't going to say anything... well, at least I'm sort of honest!
From Paul Deck
Posted on March 24, 2012 at 5:45 PM
I noticed sometime yesterday that Brahms was leading by a nose and then a short time later it was Sibelius by three lengths. That kind of made me go "hmm." C'mon guys, re-voting to see the comments is one thing, but no ballot box stuffing!
[Laurie: Is it possible to vote multiple times if you are logged out? If so, it might be possible to check the IP addresses of the voters - to see if there are multiples from the same site. Of course that does not stop someone from using multiple computers but that would at least take a lot of effort.]
Laurie, thanks so much for giving us all these beautiful music clips to listen to. I was too late to vote, but I would have gone for Sibelius. Brahms writes for the violinist but Sibelius seems to write for the violin.
I've never looked at the concerto - but am familiar with some of the the sonatas. From bizzare fingerings, even for relatively simple passages on paper, I'd guess he had no clue about playing the instrument - though the output was sublime. Thus get the impression he really did write for the violin. not the violinist...

Healthy Backyard Options
A healthy yard is not really a “yard” at all. It is your habitat, an extension of your home and part of a larger ecological region. It can be beautiful, a source of peacefulness, and the center of wondrous enjoyment. It can show you the wonders and idiosyncrasies of nature’s creatures. But over the years it can also serve the purpose of expanding one’s appreciation of nature, of seeing relationships in the natural world, of sitting quietly on the patio and watching the chipmunks scoot by your feet, or a humming bird edging its beak into the opening of a trumpet vine. It can be a place to:
- Attract birds, bees and butterflies
- Emphasis on native plants and conservation
- For your kids to play
- To relax and read a good book
To attract birds to your backyard, remember that birds need food, water and shelter.
- Food: Many backyard birds are insect eaters and the insects love plants, bushes, and tree leaves. So, plant a lot of foliage in a combination, that supplies food year-round. Of course, other birds love nuts, seeds, fruit, or nectar, depending on the species and these items can be supplemented through the use of bird feeders.
- Water: Birds need water for drinking and for bathing. Bird baths are a simple, popular way to provide water, with endless designs available at garden centers and wild bird supply stores. Birds are attracted to the sound of running water and a spewing, drip, or misting feature will increase the number of visitors. Water heaters will keep the water free from ice during the winter months. The creation of ponds and water gardens will take some work, but done well, they can attract many species. Ponds for birds should be shallow, with gently sloping shorelines.
- Shelter: Birds need places where they can hide from predators and inclement weather. Native trees and shrubs of different densities and heights give birds’ places of retreat and safety. In winter, evergreens (esp. Hemlocks), and yews, can provide dense thicket which will offer critical cover.
Native plants are those species that were present locally when the first settlers arrived. These plants have evolved over thousands of years to be able to live on rainwater alone, without adding fertilizer. Their deep roots help infiltrate rain where it falls and carry the moisture deep into the ground to replenish our aquifers, cleaning it as it goes. By simply choosing native plants for our yards, we can restore vital habitat for birds, help them adapt and survive. Native landscaping is a key tool in increasing bird diversity and abundance. To survive, native birds need native plants and the insects that have co-evolved with them.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 30 to 60 percent of fresh water in American cities is used for watering lawns. However, native plants have adapted to thrive in their regional landscape, without added water or nutrients. With climate change models predicting increased episodes of extreme drought such as California is experiencing, it’s a good time to shift to water-wise yards and native plants (from American Audubon Society).
Rain barrels are simply large containers that capture storm water from your roof that would otherwise be lost as runoff. Rain water is a precious fresh water resource and it doesn’t make sense to treat it like a waste product by straining our sewers systems. There is a finite amount of fresh water on earth and we can all take steps to protect it, starting with collecting it where it falls! By catching and keeping the rainwater that falls in your yard, you reduce flooding and keep pollutants out of rivers and streams, you’re left with clean water that is perfect for watering your garden, washing your car, and offsetting household water usage in many other ways.
Why Plant Native Plants at Home?
Native prairie, woodland and wetland plants have evolved to thrive in our natural conditions and, after the first season or two of establishment in your yard, typically require less maintenance than a conventional lawn or garden. Native plants do not require chemical fertilizer or pesticides and can save you money in the long-term, while helping the environment.
Native plants can be quite beautiful and lend your backyard a sense of place rooted in natural history, while providing food and shelter for birds and beneficial insects (e.g. dragonflies that eat mosquitoes). Native and other deep-rooted plants help direct rainwater into the soil and if planted in a rain garden in conjunction with a disconnected downspout, native plants are especially effective for managing stormwater.
What to Do Before You Plant
There are many varieties of native plants available through Chicago’s local garden centers and nurseries. Much like planning any other type of landscaping, you should take stock of your backyard resources before deciding which plants to buy:
- How much sun do you get in your backyard?
- What is the soil like?
- Are there any low areas that tend to collect water during rains?
- How much space is available for adding new plants?
- Can you remove some of your turf grass to make more room?
How to Care for Your Native Plants
Every species and variety of native plant has a different set of needs, so be sure to speak with the experts at your local garden center when you make your purchase. In general, deep-rooted perennials will need some time to establish themselves. You should be ready to provide extra care through watering and weeding during the first season or two, depending on the variety you have selected.
Recommended Native Plants for Chicago
With these things in mind, ask your local garden center experts which kinds of plants will work best for you. Here are a few common situations and the plants that will thrive under those conditions:

Symbol Key: Rain Garden Plant Beneficial to birds and butterflies Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun Partial Sun Full Shade
Think about installing a variety of landscapes, equipment, configurations, and natural resources that encourages exploration, creativity, physical activity, interaction, a connection to the land … or just a place to play “Cops & Robbers.”
Check out your local library, and after 5 minutes of silence in your backyard, birds and other critters will emerge and start to arrive. It is a wonderful feeling sharing the same space with curious and timid creatures in nature.

More Cars for the Carnage
Wasteland Warriors (Drivers and Passengers) and NSPIoC10 - Wasteland Warriors, I was really able to make them look like the Warboys from Fury Road.
I still have a thing for the legions of this period, producing a brigade of horse, foot, and gun that's complete in itself. More so when it's Lauzun's Legion with their sky blue coats and yellow facings (and grey turnbacks). So I've gone for it and produced several units for Black Powder... which might be a disproportionate amount for the rest of the American allied army...
For the uniforms there were several searches on Google and a huge call out to Baccus 6mm Miniatures, Scenery, & Rules for producing their uniform guides - much used for this and many other units in this collection.
There's two standard BP units of fusiliers, Volontaires-étrangers de Lauzun and Volontaires étrangers de la Marine. Its pretty hard to tell the difference at this scale as only the collar colours differ so most have either white or yellow collars per unit.
These are made up from Italeri Set 6043 French Infantry and the detail is good for 20mm. They were from the Lot 4 commission that Spiro Dotgeek completed, the final figures of that commission, and another joint effort to finish - adding shading.
The flags are the official flag from the Lauzun's reenactment group in the states, not sure if they're historically accurate though - but they look cool.
I've probably been too literal in my interpretation of how the Italian tribes morphed into Hastati and Principes as they were Romanized. But I figure its late in the war, somewhere between Cannae and Zama, and they've been given or taken some of the huge surplus of Roman weaponry and armor left over from previous battles. There's certainly some good detail on these Newline figures.All the shield designs were a transfer commission by a local printer that I sourced off of Google and rescaled/touched up - at this scale the individual dolphins and wreathes were a little fiddly to position correctly.

Around a week before I left for GP Buenos Aires, I was pretty much locked on Esper. It was a deck I’d played a lot and it seemed to be doing very well across the globe, so I saw no reason to not play it. I then decided to play some Magic Online Daily Events to make sure I wasn’t missing anything, to figure out which sideboard cards I liked, and so on. I wasn’t extremely successful in those, and games didn’t seem very easy from my point of view, so I thought maybe I’d try some other option.
The first deck I tried was Jund monsters—not unlike the one that won the GP. I quickly established that the deck wasn’t very good because it was slow, clunky, and you needed to draw your cards in the right order—I’ve never been a fan of a somewhat aggressive deck that plays over thirty mana sources, and this was one of those.
Next, I tried Mono-Black. It also quickly became apparent that Mono-Black had actual zero good matchups in the format. You wouldn’t get demolished by any of the tier 1 decks, but you weren’t slaughtering anyone either, and most new decks would be built with the intention of beating Mono-Black in mind, resulting in a field where you’re either a 52% favorite or a 65% dog.
After that came Naya. My friend had a Naya list built he liked that was more controlling, with Archangel of Thune to combo with Courser—it seemed decent. After playing it more, though, it turned out the mana was bad, the cards weren’t great, and it seemed like I could never beat an Elspeth, so I gave up on it.
Then, I tried Burn. I’m not a fan of burn decks in general, but the deck did seem well positioned, so I thought I should give it a try. The second time my opponent played Desecration Demon and I drew a Shock on an empty board was enough for me to give up on that too. I think Burn is good, I really do, but it’s just not the deck for me, I can’t stand drawing cards that do nothing.
Then, Mono-Blue—originally with a white splash. The white splash proved not to be worth it. Detention Sphere is a great card, but Ephara isn’t, and the mana in the deck is actually not great if you add white—you have so many double-blue cards that shock lands punish you, and having lands that come into play tapped also punishes you because you use all your mana almost every turn. If I could reasonably run four Detention Spheres and about 12 sources I would, but I don’t think 10 sources with two that hurt you a bit and two that hurt you a lot is enough to justify it.
The rest of the deck, however, didn’t feel bad. I tried straight Mono-Blue and liked it more than I had liked any other deck so far, so I decided I was going to play that. I hadn’t played it much before, but it didn’t seem to be a particularly hard deck, so I figured I’d manage.
At this point, I also realized that I could never beat Esper. Whenever I played against it, people would Syncopate and Dissolve all my threats, wrath me, and then play a big Revelation and win. Whenever I played Esper, however, I wouldn’t even have three untapped lands on turn three to play Dissolve; I’d have to shock myself to play any spell, and my last card in hand would be a Last Breath instead of a Revelation. I told myself that those people I played against were just lucky and this was not the normal way the games played.
I flew to Buenos Aires on Friday, and the flight took less than two hours. The event was very far from the international airport, though, so it took me a while to get to the apartment we had rented; the usual time is about one hour, but it was raining a little and there was traffic, so it took me almost two hours. Then, we tried to go register.
By the time we tried to get a cab, the small drizzle that had greeted me on my arrival had become a strong downpour. For about half an hour we tried to get a taxi, but none would stop, so we went back to our apartment and tried calling one. We did that for roughly one hour—all the lines were busy, all the time. We decided to give it another try and went downstairs again. Eventually we found out that there had been a bus strike, which meant we were probably not going to get a taxi anytime soon, and we conceded defeat, eventually managing to get a hold of someone and asking them to register the four of us. I think we actually came out ahead in the exchange—many people who managed to get to the event found themselves trapped there, without a way out. One group of people actually had to send someone to the airport so that they could rent a car and then come pick everyone else up!
Eventually, we managed to meet up with the other players who were staying in the same building we were. One of them was going to play Mono-Blue, so we talked a little about it. He told me that the sideboard plan against UW/Esper was very bad, and that he was worried because he had seen a lot of UW in the trials, but he was going to play Mono-Blue anyway because he had been playing it forever. I wasn’t in that position—I didn’t really have to play Mono-Blue. After analyzing the sideboard some more and realizing that only five or so of the cards are actually playable, I decided to just go back to playing Esper. At least I’d know what to do, what hands to keep and what to side out. Besides, I kept losing to it—that certainly meant the deck was at least playable, even if I had not been winning much when I played it myself (small sample size etc.). I looked at some lists online and made some changes that I liked, and ended up with this:
Esper versus UW: I think UW is a good deck, but I like Esper more. The scry lands are really good, and they make the black splash basically free. If you play UW and play, say, 8-10 scry lands, then you really should be playing Esper instead. Without black, you become much worse in the mirror, since you don’t have Thoughtseize, and you have issues with certain creatures like Mistcutter Hydra, Archangel of Thune, and Obzedat. In return, you gain a faster mana base, which is important against the red decks that have been doing well lately. It’s close, but I think the advantages of having black, though small, outweigh the costs, which are even smaller.
Aetherling versus Elixir: I’ve seen lists with both, and I greatly favor Aetherling. Elixir is going to be better in some spots, sure, but Elixir is often just not a real card, whereas Aetherling is. In many of the matches, you play removal, counterspell, Wrath, and then find yourself with six or seven lands and one card in hand. If that card is Aetherling, you win the game. If that card is Elixir, it does nothing. In those scenarios, Aetherling is another Sphinx’s Revelation, or another Elspeth that’s harder to deal with. Aetherling is also better due to time considerations, but I’d play Aetherling over Elixir even if I had infinite time.
0 Azorius Charm: Three Esper decks Top 8’d the GP in Australia, and they all cut some Azorius Charms—two people played 2 and one played 0. I think that, with twelve scry lands, you don’t need it and you often don’t have the time to play it. It’s not a bad card by any means, and if you have room you can play two, but I’d rather have better removal.
0 Divination: Divination is the worst card in Magic. Your lands all come into play tapped already, you can’t afford to delay yet another turn. Please do not play Divination.
1 Revoke Existence: Revoke doesn’t have a ton of targets, but the ones it does are the ones you really want to kill—Thassa and Connections, mainly. It will find targets in other matchups—Courser, Spear of Heliod, other Gods, Detention Sphere—but Revoke Existance is there for its power, and not for its versatility. It will sometimes hurt you, but it will help you way more often. I think you should play one.
1 Negate: My rationale for Negate was that I wanted something against spells that come down on turn three before Dissolve (Domri, Connections), as well as a card for the mirror. I could have played another Thoughtseize, but I am not a big fan of Thoughtseize in this deck; it’s fine, but the deck doesn’t have many black sources and it doesn’t go well with the counterspells plan. When you play a counterspell, you make them waste a turn—you advance the game by a turn, which is really good. You’re not trying to exhaust all their resources by countering all of their cards, you’re trying to get to a point where whatever it is they are casting no longer matters, because you’re casting an Elspeth or a big Revelation. With Thoughtseize, you attack their resources, but not their tempo—they just play another 4-drop instead, for example. Negate was my solution for those cards that theoretically fit with the plan of the deck.
In the end, however, the card wasn’t very good and I would not play it maindeck again. I think you can switch it for a Thoughtseize, for a Syncopate, for any removal spell, and even for a 3rd Mutavault.
2 Last Breath, 2 Doom Blade: I like four removal spells and I think a mix of these is best. Ultimate Price is good, but it doesn’t kill Mutavault and I really want to be able to kill Mutavault. Last Breath is worse now that some black players play Lifebane over Specter, but it’s still very good against Mono-Blue and it still kills Vault, Rat, Voice of Resurgence and so on.
0 Blood Baron, 0 Nightveil Specter: I used to like creatures in Esper, but no longer. The main issue is that people always end up leaving some removal against you. Some mono-black decks have four Devour Fleshes and the mirror can’t physically take them all out, and I don’t like having to rely on Baron to win the game for me. The second issue is that everyone plays Lifebane Zombie now and having your trump be taken by a card that they were going to play anyway makes you feel very stupid. I can see having Blood Baron for other matchups, but I would not board it in against any Lifebane Zombie deck, so I don’t think it’s worth it. If you want a creature to gain some life, I think Archangel of Thune is better.
2 Blind Obedience: I think this is the best card against red. Every time they play Chandra’s Phoenix, Ash Zealot, or Viashino Firstblade it gains you some life, and then the extort ability gets you out of burn range, somewhat. Against Monsters, it stops Dragon, Hydra, and Xenagos Tokens from attacking, but more than protecting your life total it protects your planeswalkers—you can safely -2 a Jace knowing that a Xenagos token isn’t going to kill it, and you can play Elspeth knowing it’s safe from Stormbreath Dragon.
1 Fiendslayer Paladin: I wanted something against red and I think it’s the best card. If you expect more red, play more of these.
My day 1 went like this:
Round 4: Mono-Black splash white 2-0
Round 5: Mono-Blue 1-2
Round 6: Mono-Blue 2-0
Round 7: Mono-Blue 2-0
Round 8: Mono-Black splash red 2-0
Round 9: Mono-Blue 2-0
Round 10: Mono-Blue 2-0
Round 11: Mono-Black 2-0
Round 12: GW 2-0
Round 13: Mono-Blue 2-0
Round 14: BR control 1-2
Round 15: ID
Top 8: BR control 2-0
Top 4: RGb Monsters 1-2
Here you can see that I got super lucky with pairings—I got paired against one of my best matchups six times, though I did lose once due to mana problems in two games. I also almost strictly got paired against decks against which Revoke Existence is good, so that might have biased me towards how good the card actually is. In the Top 8, I think I got paired against a very good matchup (even though he beat me in the Swiss), and then a matchup that I consider to be slightly unfavorable, though it really depends on how many planeswalkers they draw.
Also interesting to note that I actually won all my matches 2-0 and lost all my matches 2-1, giving me an overall game record in this tournament of 23-6, or roughly 80%, which is pretty insane considering how easy it is to lose a game of Magic.
I was overall very happy with the deck—I’d remove a Negate for basically anything else, and then possibly play more Paladins depending on the metagame you expect, but I wouldn’t change any other card.
Now, for the matchups:
This matchup is easy. Their three best cards are Thassa, Mutavault, and Bident, but the rest of their deck is very soft to what your deck is doing. It’s worth taking damage early on to make sure they can’t stick a Thassa, and it’s worth saving your Detention Spheres for that as much as you can. Thassa is the one card in their deck that beats Elspeth, so I like bringing in one Needle when I’m on the draw (since on the play I think Dissolve is good enough). You are primarily going to name Mutavault and maybe a Jace, but Thassa is good too, and you can also name Frostburn Weird, Judge’s Familiar, and Bident of Thassa!
After board, their deck slows down a bit, which I’m not convinced is bad for you. If they have a bunch of counterspells, they will have no pressure. They are not going to win by out-controlling the control deck, so let them try. If they have Jaces, you can usually deal with them—you still have six counterspells and four Spheres. if they have the five-mana Jace, bring Needle on the play too.
On the play:
On the draw:
This matchup is about two things—Aetherling and decking. It used to be more about Aetherling, but now that everyone runs around six counterspells, it becomes harder to resolve him (though it also becomes easier to fight for him if you resolve a big Revelation and they don’t). Basically don’t go drawing your entire deck if you aren’t sure you can win a counter war, and don’t go wasting counterspells on meaningless things.
Sideboarding is highly dependent on what you think they are bringing in. If you are sure they have no creatures, then cut all removal, and so on. You definitely want all your Thoughtseizes and counterspells, and you shave creature removal and some Detention Spheres.
Connections is their best card game one, and Specter is their second best—luckily some people don’t even play Specter anymore. If they don’t resolve a Connections it’s very hard to lose the game, since you will eventually topdeck your way out of whatever they are doing. If they resolve a connections and you can’t Detention Sphere or Revoke it, then your best bet is to try to race them with Elspeth or Aetherling, though that’s not a good deal for you. In general, I try not to expose my Jaces to Hero’s Downfall before I can -2; normally, you play Jace, +1, then you deal with their creatures next turn, but against Mono-Black I like to deal with their creatures to try to play Jace into an empty board.
Their most important cards are Domri and Xenagos. They can usually only play one spell a turn, so if you can deal with one spell a turn eventually you will play your better spells (which is why I like counterspells more than Thoughtseize in general). You will lose if you get into a spot where you’re so behind that you are forced to tap out to react to them on your turn every turn, and then at some point your last two cards in hand will be a Syncopate and a Dissolve that you never had the opportunity to cast; if you stay ahead of them and use those counterspells first, then you will win.
On the play:
On the draw:
This matchup is not great, but it really depends on their draws. Sometimes, it’s going to look absolutely impossible to win because they will either play a bunch of Mutavaults/Chandra’s Phoenix and you won’t have a way to get rid of them, or, more likely, they’ll play a bunch of burn that you will have no answer to. The best way to win is to preserve your life total a lot, kill any creature however you can, and then try to apply some pressure as you counter a burn spell or two. Also try saving Last Breath, Detention Sphere, or Syncopate for Chandra’s Phoenix. Some people have more creatures than others, and some sideboard in a lot more, so keep that in mind when boarding. Normally, if I don’t expect a lot of creatures other than Viashino, Phoenix and Zealot, I’d do:
If you expect more (Satyr, Reckoner?), then you can keep some Verdicts in for some Dissolves. Basically the fewer creatures they have, the better counterspells become.
That’s what I have for today. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. Before I leave, I’d like to give props to all the people who lent me cards—Antonio from the store Porto Livre, Bruno Muller, Xuxa and Abud, thanks a lot!

10 years ago, my wife and I, along with our year old son, pulled up to a building just outside of Oklahoma City. My new friend, Cory Miller, had invited us to stop by the iThemes office.
As an entrepreneur falling in love with WordPress, I was impressed with what Cory and his team built together. BackupBuddy had become an essential part of my developer workflow and it kept getting better.
What impressed me more, though, was Cory as a person. From our first meeting, and through each interaction in the years that followed, Cory was the same – genuine, other-centered, giving. He shared insight and perspective freely, and stayed approachable.
When I left Automattic earlier this year, Andrea Middleton encouraged me to reconnect with Cory and explore opportunities together.
Cory is awesome. I love what he’s built over the years. I love the consistent value he delivers and his approach to working in collaboration. As we started talking, our aligned experiences and shared philosophies coalesced.
Cory shared his vision for Post Status. I loved it and I wanted in.
And now we’re working together! I’ve joined the team at Post Status, where I’ll be working on partnerships.
We’re also starting a consulting practice together, focused on helping WordPress businesses grow.
As Cory says, “Summiting isn’t a solo act. Great summits take a team.”
I’m excited to join the Post Status team and look forward to the magic we’ll make, together.

Defense Or Bust For The Giants
Coming off of a disappointing season in which the New York Giants sputtered to a 9-7 record while just missing out on a playoff berth, GM Jerry Reese has his work cut out for him with a week left before the 2013 NFL Draft. The Giants may have struggled on offense at times but, if the team truly wants to rebound in 2013, improving their defense must be the top priority.
Reese has stuck to the same, familiar script this offseason by making smart and impactful moves that build upon the team’s core but don’t exactly create headlines. He’s earned the trust and respect of Giants fans for his tactful negotiating and keen eye for evaluating talent, so Giants fans have been understandably patient throughout the offseason.
Picking at No. 19 in the upcoming draft, Reese will have no shortage of options to address some of the glaring holes on the team. There have been some rumblings that the Giants will consider taking an offensive lineman with their top pick, but defense should be the absolute priority throughout the draft.
Backing Up The Line
The Giants are extremely thin at linebacker heading into the 2013 season. Michael Boley is out of the picture, and Chase Blackburn signed with the Carolina Panthers. They did re-sign Keith Rivers and grab Dan Connor from the Dallas Cowboys, but those are the types of moves that are more likely to elicit a yawn out of Giants fans rather than instill a sense of confidence in the team’s linebackers.
There are several linebackers worth taking in the first round alone, so Reese will have a tough decision to make with a number of them expected to be available once they’re on the clock. While highly unlikely, it would come as no surprise if Reese spends his top pick to shore up the middle of the defense as the team can no longer afford to continue ignoring the position.
Historically, the Giants haven’t placed much of a premium on the linebacker position in the first round of the draft, and they haven’t selected a linebacker with their top pick in nearly three decades. Although, the last two linebackers they selected that early in the draft was in the early 80s when they took the legendary Lawrence Taylor in 1981 and Carl Banks in 1984.
Maybe it’s time that the Giants rethink their stance on drafting linebackers in the first round.
Stopping The Big Play
Perhaps more importantly, the Giants need to clean up their secondary. It was painful to watch Corey Webster last season as he was mercilessly picked on by quarterbacks. After his torrid play in 2012, Webster wisely took a massive pay cut to remain with the team. Once the team’s most reliable corner, Giants fans can only hope that 2012 was a fluke and that he’ll return to some semblance of his pre-2012 form.
While Prince Amukamara had a solid season opposite Webster and Jayron Hosley showed brief flashes of brilliance, there are still a lot of question marks regarding their depth in the secondary. Kenny Phillips was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, and Reese had no problem letting Justin Tryon test the open market. The team retained Stevie Brown on a one-year deal, and he was one of the few bright spots on defense last season. With Phillips in Philly, Brown should go unchallenged as the starting safety alongside Antrel Rolle.
And speaking of Rolle — one of the team’s highest paid players — he also had a down year. In the last year of his deal, he’ll need to step up next season — both in performance and as a leader — if he hopes to re-sign with the team.
Terrell Thomas will be attempting yet another comeback after signing a one-year deal to remain in New York, but his career has been marred by injuries. Until Thomas gets some snaps under his belt and shows that he’s still capable of being an effective corner, no one really knows what he’ll bring to the table and whether his body can hold up to the type of abuse defensive backs are accustomed to in this league.
The Giants also signed the recently released and former first-round pick of the team, Aaron Ross. In a market that was flooded with talented defensive backs, the Giants struck early on a third- or fourth-tier cornerback. He’s familiar with the team and system, but he’s 30 years old, has seen better days and should not be counted on as a reliable contributor.
There’s a lot of depth at safety and a fair amount at corner in the draft, so depending on how the first two rounds pan out, Reese could really dig deep next week. Reese can rule out Dee Milliner falling that far, but Desmond Trufant and Xavier Rhodes may very well be available. If none of the top corners are available to the team at No. 19, Reese may have to wait until the second or third round for a suitable prospect.
Deep In The Trenches
The Giants failed to generate consistent pressure in the trenches to give the secondary some breathing room, and running backs regularly broke through the line to get to the second level. While it’s easy to point a finger at the defensive tackles, the entire front four was underwhelming when it came to pressuring the quarterback and stopping the run.
Chris Canty was let go, Marvin Austin can be labeled as a bust at this point and Rocky Bernard is on the open market. Shaun Rogers was re-signed, but the Giants shouldn’t expect much out of him as an aging 34-year-old coming off a serious injury. Linval Joseph was the only reliable defensive tackle to plug the middle of the line, but there was only so much he could do on his own. With all of their losses and general lack of production at the position, the team needed to pick up a stout defensive tackle to start next to Joseph. Reese made that one of his top priorities in free agency, and he added some depth at defensive tackle by signing Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson from the Philadelphia Eagles.
However, the Giants’ failure to consistently collapse the pocket and pressure the quarterback can be blamed primarily on the defensive ends. Justin Tuck seems to have lost a step, Jason Pierre-Paul didn’t adjust very well to the frequent double teams and Osi Umenyiora is clearly on the decline. Umenyiora bolted for the Atlanta Falcons, leaving Justin Tuck and Jason Pierre-Paul as the team’s starting defensive ends once again. Mathias Kiwanuka is expected to rotate in as a pass-rusher, but New York has always placed a premium on depth at defensive end. With a plethora of talented defensive ends available in the first round and an absence of offseason activity at that position, Reese may have tipped his hand for the upcoming draft.
Whether or not Reese decides to stick with his philosophy of taking the best available talent, eschewing need over ability and potential, will be a big question next week. New York has a seemingly endless fascination with pass rushers, and with the draft ripe with talent along the defensive line, signs point toward the Giants grabbing Tuck’s eventual successor.
A little over a year removed from winning a Super Bowl, the road to redemption has already begun. With Super Bowl XLVIII taking place right in the Meadowlands, the Giants will have a shot to represent New York in the Super Bowl, but only if their defense returns to championship form.

Although open to interpretation, I believe the fencing match ending Hamlet serves as the ultimate irony. Throughout the play, both Hamlet and Claudius have used "bad form" in many ways to either gain information, corner, or even kill their opponent. The examples are endless: Hamlet putting a fake "antic disposition on," Claudius using minions to spy on Hamlet, Hamlet using Ophelia to chide Claudius and Gertrude, Hamlet almost killing Claudius at church, Hamlet speaking rudely to his incestuous mother, etc. Ironically, fencing is a very proper contest of skill in dueling, . . . during which the same characters use "bad form" to outwit the other. Of course, their decisions all end in numerous deaths (of almost everyone). Hamlet, a revenge play? I think so!

Obama: Bailout is 'price tag, not a plan'
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In his first critical remarks about the government response to the financial market crisis, Barack Obama said Sunday that the Bush administration has “offered a concept with a staggering price tag, not a plan.”
“We must work quickly in a bipartisan fashion to resolve this crisis to avert an even broader economic catastrophe,” Obama said at a rally here. “But Washington also has to recognize that economic recovery requires that we act, not just to address the crisis on Wall Street, but also the crisis on Main Street and around kitchen tables across America.”
Obama took aim at the three-page bailout plan from Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, saying the “American people must be assured that the deal reflects the basic principles of transparency, fairness and reform.”
Obama echoed the calls from other Democrats to pass economic stimulus measures in conjunction with the rescue package.
But appearing on the Sunday talk shows, Paulson resisted the Democratic push to include other measures, which he said could slow passage in Congress of the $700 billion bailout plan. The credit market remains “very fragile” and “frozen,” he said.
“We need this to be clean and to be quick,” Paulson said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
But key Democrats, including Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), said Sunday that the legislation needed additional protections for taxpayers and homeowners in danger of losing their homes.
Obama reiterated the call at his afternoon event in front of more than 20,000 people on the downtown streets here.
Obama once again laid out several principles that he said the deal must reflect: “no blank check” when taxpayers are paying the bill; no tax dollars for Wall Street CEOs; aid to homeowners facing mortgage foreclosures; international cooperation; and regulations “to prevent this from every happening again.”
“They have run … this economy into the ground,” Obama said. “We have to make sure we lift it back up and need to make sure we have rules in place.”
A spokesman for John McCain issued a statement after Obama’s rally criticizing him for not putting forward a plan of his own.
“Two days after he confessed to not having a plan for the banking crisis, Barack Obama called for ‘decisive action’ while offering absolutely no new ideas, policies or concrete solutions — it shows he is just not ready to lead,” spokesman Tucker Bounds said. “John McCain rejected complacency and political calculation in favor of a direct call for updated, effective regulations that will protect Americans’ homes, savings and jobs — we cannot afford a directionless driver like Barack Obama.”
Obama had planned to outline a proposal Friday, but pulled back when Paulson offered a package, saying he didn’t want to muddy the debate.

The House, M.D. season finale “Moving On” is without a doubt the most controversial episodes in the series history. Some fans hated it, and others not. To take a character like House (Hugh Laurie), who really skates on the edge of likability and have him crash into the home of ex-girlfriend Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) may have been a long step too far over that edge for some fans. Other fans hate what House (the character) has done, even while understanding what drove him (as it were) to that brink, but are more than curious about how the series writers will redeem his character next season. Others still have felt that the way Season 7 ended was completely in keeping with both the character and the series and quite like where the end of the episode found him—on a beach sipping a cocktail. I’ll have more on that and my own thoughts on the episode later this weekend.
The writers are just now coming back to the studio after a brief hiatus to begin sketching out Season 8, which many believe might be the final season for the series. Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner told me last week that determining whether next season will be the last will be among the first things discussed as the creative team now gets back to work. But also high on that list, and perhaps even more important for the first part of the season, is where to take the character of House from where we last see him at the end of the season finale. Have they painted themselves into a corner, or does the Season 7 finale open new avenues to explore?
This year’s finale was written by Co-Executive Producer/Writer Peter Blake and Writer/Producer Kath Lingenfelter. Blake has been with House, M.D. since the very beginning. His first script “Maternity” (1×04) still stands as one of the series best, presenting a classic Housian ethical dilemma into the hands of the man whose ethics are often questioned. Lingenfelter is new to the House creative team, joining the show only this season. Her episode “You Must Remember This,” proved to a great entry in what has turned out to be a very controversial season. I caught up with the two writers earlier this week to talk about “Moving On,” Season 7 and where Season 8 might be headed.
Where did the idea for the “Moving On” come from?
Blake: We knew that the season had to end with House getting to a different place. We also knew that [House and Cuddy] were going to break up in the middle of the season, and then we knew that the rest of the season was going to be dealing with the after effects of the breakup. So we went back and forth a number of times about in our plotting out of the entire season, where it would end up. At one point, [House’s] car crash was going to be episode 19. Then we were going to show the fallout of that for the next few episodes. I shouldn’t talk about what that fallout was going to be because we might use some of it next year; we’re just not sure yet. But I think the network, the studio, and the writers decided that it would be better to go out on a bang. So it got moved up to the last episode about a couple months before we started filming it.
There are obviously some parallels between House and his patient, and he’s really affected by her. Do you want to talk about that? I know that the writers are always drawing parallels between House and his patients, but this one really seemed to get to him.
Lingenfelter: At the beginning of last season, I pitched [a story] about a performance artist who revels in her treatment rather than suffering through it, preferring to experience the pain publicly—to share it with other people. That pitch kind of fell by the wayside, but a little while later Blake resurrected it with a new spin. We thought that it was just going to be a good way to look at where House is now with his pain—and with the personal walls he continues to put up.
Blake: Obviously [House and the patient, played by Shoreh Aghdashloo] are extremely good at their jobs; they both have a lot of pain in their lives. We had a line or two about how she had witnessed her mother’s death. I think that survival thing took over [for her]. She uses her job to deal with the pain, which she shares with House; he does the same thing. But her obsession with work and the walls [she constructs] between her and other people is to keep out emotional pain, just like House has done.
I think even if the writers have something in their minds, what ends up on the screen might be open to interpretation. But I think what seems very clear is that House, after five episodes of feeling really badly about the breakup—and not just the breakup but also his unhappiness with his life, and his loneliness… For five episodes he’s dealt with it in sort of childish and self-destructive ways. First childish, the way he acts (in “Fall from Grace”) jumping into that monster truck and into the fake marriage. Then he gets more self-destructive in the form of taking more and more Vicodin, and finally, and especially the incredibly dangerous, stupid maneuver to fix his leg, which ends up being something that could of killed him (“After Hours”). So he went from dealing with his pain in a childish way to dealing with the pain in a very destructive way. At the end of “After Hours,” he realizes he’s got to make a change, and he sort of says as much to Wilson—or at least acknowledges as much to Wilson. That’s where this episode begins, with House realizing he is going to make a change. It’s not going to be easy, but he is going to stop being self-destructive. He realizes that he’s got to stop being so sort of passive-aggressive with Cuddy and just get over. He just decides he’s just going to use his power of mind to try to get over this breakup.
Lingenfelter: So yes, he’s going to rely on his mind to get on top of it. And he finds kindred spirit in Afsoun who devoted to her work above all else and has found a lot of satisfaction in it. So and then, of course, ultimately feels betrayed by her [when she decides living her life and loving is more important than her work].
Where is House coming from here?
Blake: This episode is it’s an incredibly stressful episode for House because he’s trying to be friends with Cuddy and be professional with her. And what she’s saying is: “That’s not enough’ we have to actually get to a deeper place; you need to express your feelings, you need to express your anger.” And he’s denying that he needs to do so. And then when House and Cuddy have that scene in the hallway together, they have a bit of a breakthrough. They’ve never even had a fight really about their breakup to this point. He finally admits to her that he was hurt, and it really is a breakthrough. So, at this point in the story, House is on the verge of getting better and being healthy and doing the right thing, he forgives her [for hurting him]. But he still hasn’t really processed his anger. He’s just sort of forgiven her. And then, and then things started to fall apart. And in his patient Afsoun, he sees himself. He thinks maybe, “my life sucks and I think that I can throw myself into work and everything will be okay.” But when he sees Afsoun [eventually] saying the exact opposite—that work isn’t enough, that your personal relationships are enough, it just underlines House’s life for him. He just feels betrayed by her because she had given him hope to believe that he could have handled his loneliness. But then he realizes, “No, I can’t.” So it makes him feel even worse about the way his life is going. And that, of course, then leads him into the car crash.
So that car crash. It was a very controversial ending to the episode; it was an amazingly risky thing to do.
And I’m going to get back to that part of it in a second. But I want to understand the why—House’s motivation. Yes, he’s feeling betrayed by Cuddy, but beyond that. Is this a buildup of seven (or more years) of frustration over Wilson and Cuddy constantly trying to get him to change, trying to get him to be better, trying to psychoanalyze him? And, and it’s like wham, he explodes?
Blake: There’s no one simple, there’s no one simple answer. But, I mean, we can tell you some of the things that led up to it.
Lingenfelter: Well, I think there’s always been kind of the background noise from the people in House’s life of, you’re doing it wrong, in terms of being a person, that there’s more for you, there’s more you need to do, you need to open up, you need to reach out, you need to connect. And these last few years of his sobriety I think were for House were real attempts for him to make changes. It really was an effort and really goes against the grain of his character and who he is. And I think there’s frustration in him of “why does it seem so easy for other people and not for me?” I think there some anger at himself for denying his true nature and trying to be something else, compromising himself.
Do you remember from the episode that House had kept Cuddy’s hairbrush? (Cuddy asked him to return it.) House knew exactly where it was. In my mind, and again, I have to reiterate what Peter said that we all bring something into the project and we all have our ideas, but House was holding onto that. That was that last vestige of Cuddy. And when he was willing to try and give it back to her, that was it for him. Intellectually and logically he had gotten to the place where, “I’m okay with it, I’m going to move on, I won’t be emotionally compromised anymore or tortured over this.” But I he gets up those steps with [her] hairbrush [to return it to her], he gets up to the steps and he sees her and the lightness that she has about her, and that it seems like she’s moved on, and it wounds him. And I think he’s furious with himself, among many other emotions, that he’s still emotionally compromised. He’s not able to completely turn that switch off. And I think part of, one aspect of his choice to drive into her house—although, I wouldn’t say it was a clear-cut, logical choice—but was to make it an impossibility for him to ever reconnect with Cuddy. He couldn’t turn that switch himself, and so he had to just, you know, destroy the whole thing. That’s one take.
Blake: Another part of it is that I think he was angry because he felt like he had gotten to an honest point with Cuddy. He had asked her, “Are you dating anyone?” She had said, “No.” And then it seemed to him—although she wasn’t lying—it seemed to him that she had been lying to him about all of it because she seemed to be with this new guy having this romantic dinner with the family. So he felt hurt about that. But that was only part of it. This is a guy who never really processed his anger about the breakup. And everyone throughout this episode, especially Wilson and Cuddy were saying to him, “you’ve got to process, you’ve got to, let it out, say what you’re feeling. Stop drowning yourself with Vicodin. It is not going to work.” So he finally said, “You know what? Fuck it, I’ll do it.” And he lets out his anger. And then in a weird way he feels better. And that’s partially why we put him on a beach. Wilson tells the cop earlier, [that House is] going to be in a place that reflects his mood because he’s in his darkest hole. He’s going to be in some bar, you know, that’s the darkest hole in Princeton. And, nope, he’s in Fiji or something.
So is that final scene where he’s at the beach, is that real or is that in his mind?
PB: That’s real. Well, I can say that right now. We’ve got a writers meeting next week, but let’s just assume the audience has no reason to think that it’s in his mind.
The episode’s ending got a very mixed reaction—all of it very strong. I have to admit it’s taking me a while to really completely wrap my brain around it. But in a way it makes sense for him to be at that point and to just say, “You know what? Screw this whole thing; I’m just going to do this.” But part of me doesn’t understand this House. In any event, I think it was like a really huge risk for the show to have House do something so destructive and potentially tragic. I mean, there are people in the house!
Blake: I totally see that. But when we were writing the script, we thought that what House was doing was crazy and destructive, but we did not think of it as homicidal at all. We believed that House sees everyone leaving that front room and going to the back room for coffee. So at least in our mind, House was not ever trying to drive into a room where anyone was there. In fact, you know, could House actually know he was going to drive into the house? I kind of doubt that.
Lingenfelter: It was really impulsive
Blake: I think he was just trying to be self-destructive, or maybe even destructive of her property actually, but neither of us thought he was being homicidal. I hope it’s clear, but it does worry me. It upsets me that some people on Twitter thought that he was trying to kill Cuddy or kill anyone. We really did not intend that. But we wanted him to come to a point where he’s in a serious, self-destructive time. And we’ve known that for a long time. But we certainly did not want him to appear a character that was homicidal or anything like that. Another way we thought that House was in no way being homicidal—although, he was being crazy and reckless and self-destructive—is when he’s driving up Cuddy’s lawn. If he had seen that anyone was in that room, he would have turned into another part of the house. And he did have a clear view as he was driving into it and he could see that no one was in it. But the question is could he turn in time? I think so. [It’s possible to believe that] House was not thinking of things very clearly at that moment. Or was he?
David Shore once said that, I mean, and it’s obvious you guys push House to the limits of likability, to the limits of, okay, we can forgive him for this because ultimately he’s trying to do the right thing. But are you aware of the level of negative reaction from parts of the online fan community that you’ve taken him a step or more over that limit?
Blake: It was obviously, a very traumatic episode for a lot of fans, and I sympathize with them. But “Moving On” was always going to be an episode where House really, even more than their breakup puts a wall up between [himself and Cuddy].
But the question in my mind is, how do you redeem him from this? He has crossed this line of doing something so destructive that if he shows his face in Princeton, he’s going to get arrested! How do you come back from that?
Blake: That’s what Season 8 is going to be about.
Lingenfelter: I think it’s a place to rebuild from, and so it gives us a lot of opportunity to look at the character. Is [this episode] a breakthrough for him? Or was this a reset, that he goes back to the way that he was more towards the beginning of the series?
Blake: It was obviously a self-destructive crazy act. But there was something in it. House was already being self-destructive and crazy. And doing what he did was both those things. But the most dangerous thing he’s done isn’t driving his car; it was his self-surgery, which almost kills him in the previous episode. In a way, there’s nowhere to go but up. So there’s some hope that maybe this will actually, this actually was the breakthrough that he needed, as ironic as that is.
Lingenfelter: For those in the audience that feel like House has to redeem himself, it reflects the same position for the other people in his life. And it’s certainly one direction for Season 8. We’re meeting next week to discuss it, but certainly a possible the direction: does House believe he has to redeem himself to the people that were in his life, and does he even try?
That could be very compelling to watch. I have a question about Taub. All right. He’s a doctor. Doesn’t he know about condoms? Hasn’t he ever watched an After School Special? Two women pregnant in a week. That’s pretty impressive.
Lingenfelter: I think that there are many ways that something like that can happen; not all birth control is 100% effective.
Blake: I think the history of men shows that it’s a very possible, possible outcome.
Lingenfelter: Yeah, well at least she’s not living in his house. But, you know, Taub is juggling a lot of things, and not necessarily staying on top of things as well as he should. So these things happen.
Yes, they do. And they happen to Taub.
Lingenfelter: Yeah, they happen to Taub, but he kind of asks for it.
Now that the House-Cuddy romance appears to be over, and with Lisa Edelstein leaving the series, what are your thoughts on their relationship?
Blake: I think all shows have a, have a lifespan, and we had to get them together at some point.
Lingenfelter: I also think that for the development of House as a character, it’s something he really had to try. He had to make a go of it. And I think that we all would have been incredibly frustrated if he had never taken that chance.
If he had never stressed himself to that point to see if he can be the type of person that participates in true happiness. And I think, you know, we all went into it with high hopes. The characters went into it with high hopes. As writers, we went into it with high hopes for them. You know, [David] Shore and the executive producers are very mindful about being honest about who House is and what he’s capable of. So I think it was an inevitability to put them together.
Did not knowing whether House would be back next season affect the season finale?
Blake: When we wrote this episode we assumed House was coming back. There was always a chance it wouldn’t, but it looked very likely.
How does Lisa Edelstein’s departure affect the series going forward? Think she might come back for an episode or two (or ten)?
Lingenfelter: And we were also completely surprised by Lisa’s departure. Because it just happened we now begin the process of digesting it and looking at how it affects the story going forward.
Blake: In terms of her coming back, let me just read you a quote from David Shore in an interview with Mike Ausiello. Ausiello asked, “Would you be interested in bringing her back in a guest?” And Shore said, “I would be, absolutely.” I mean, so that’s all that we know. As a viewer, I would love to see that too.
Lingenfelter: Yeah, me too.
They need closure. They really need closure.
Anything else you want to add before I let you go?
Lingenfelter: I just wanted to give kudos to Hugh Laurie for his driving skills. If you watched the crash, the part where he tried stopping, throws on the brake and does the 360 was actually Hugh driving.
That was really him?
Lingenfelter: Yeah. But then it was a stunt driver leading up to the house, something Hugh was desperate to do himself. Of course, we couldn’t let him. And also, just how amazing the production crew was on this particular episode because they actually rebuilt Cuddy’s house on a stage: the front of the house, and the dining room and the family room down to the last flower. So that car crash was actually shot in three pieces on two different days. And when I watched it, it seemed real.
Blake: Yeah, I was on set the day it was shooting. When I first watched the cut, I couldn’t believe how good that car crash was directed by Greg Yaitanes, and produced by everyone there.
And I think Greg did a great job with this episode. Also, Shohreh Aghdashloo who played Afsoun was really great and it was good to have her in the episode.
Lingenfelter: I’d also just like to give a shout-out to Shohreh because when she came in [to play the role], she had done all this reading and research of art. She came with a head full of ideas. She was super excited about the character and being a part of the show. And the last scene she shot was the MRI scene where House said, “You have CNS, primary CNS lymphoma,” and she admits that she does. She acts the entire scene with her head in this cage in the MRI. And when the scene finished and wrapped, the crew applauded. She teared up and cried because, I think that she was quite emotionally invested in the role. And I think that really comes across. So I just wanted to thank her for being as great as she was.
Blake: We would also like to say to the fans, thank you for watching, and keep watching. I really want them to keep watching, even those who haven’t been happy, even though they’re angry with us for this episode, to see how we deal with House next season.

Smart enough?? Since when does it take genius to smash a window and load up a truck with snowboards before police arrive?
Your stores don't have bars on the windows?
That used to happen 15 years ago around here.
You'd have a hard time driving an armored car though the concrete barriers to even get to the bars in the windows around here.
I bought a brand new Salomon before from a used sporting goods store legitimately with receipt & all that jazz, turned out it was one of a batch stolen like that.
The next time I went in there they told me the po-po wanted it. They were just going to take it & give me nothing.
But since in my eyes, I bought it legit, & they didn't didn't know my name or address I told them to go eat a dick.
I even got a hold of Salomon & told them the story, I thought they might be able to help out the poor kid about to get fucked over? They didn't give a shit & just wanted the board back too.
Subsequently I had to tell them that I too would not be giving a shit then & that they could go eat a dick as well.
Had it for about 5 years, then sold it.

Chambers of commerce offer assistance pack to small businesses
3:00pm Tuesday 16th October 2012 in News
Wessex Chambers has unveiled a new support package that aims to help small businesses in the region to grow.
It will be holding a series of information events across Wiltshire to mark the announcement.
The organisation, which represents 19 chambers of commerce across Wiltshire, wants to offer support to small businesses during difficult economic times.
Rob Perks, chief executive of Wessex Chambers, said: “Over the past few months we have been working hard to put together an exciting new range of products and services aimed at growing and supporting businesses in Wiltshire.
“This includes all the essential services a business requires but perhaps cannot always afford, ranging from human resources, tax and legal advice to bookkeeping and marketing.”
In addition to the new package, Wessex Chambers will also offer discounted services to member businesses. These include a sickness income replacement scheme that allows every worker to benefit from sick pay for up to a year, guaranteed savings on card terminal rates, business insurance, medical insurance, mobile phone contracts and credit reports amongst others.
To mark the launch of Wessex Chambers’ new support package and its connected services the group will be holding four open events for business representatives to find out more.
Elaine Harvey, Wessex communications and marketing manager, said: “We believe these new services will provide excellent value to our members and we invite everyone who runs a business to join us at one of our free information road-shows to find out exactly what is on offer.
“Many of our product providers will be on hand to answer any questions and it would be a great opportunity to meet the team working on behalf of businesses at the chambers.”
The first event will be held at the Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford on Avon, at 4pm, on Wednesday, November 7.
The next event will be at Boscombe Down Aviation Collection, in Salisbury, beginning at 4pm on Tuesday, November 13. The roadshow will then stop at Castle Combe Racing Circuit at 4pm on Wednesday, November 14, with an event starting at 4pm, with the final information session being held at Marlborough Golf Club at 4pm on Tuesday, November 20.

So I completely spaced on posting my Stamp Something project on Friday. Well it is Digi Day over there and I had the pleasure of working with a MelJen's Design.
So now today I am sharing my card for CreativeCardCrew's "For a Loved One" challenge. Our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish. I used "Luv Bear" as the image as well as some of their Summer papers. Adorable, right?
I finished the card off with my Cricut for the sentiment and the die cut hearts.
Thanks for visiting today! Hope you have fun visiting the rest of the talented teams from CCC and SS!

Readers will enjoy the chills of the huntsman's rescue of Red and her grandma in addition the eerie details of "Schippetaro," "Mr. Fox," and "The Farmer and the Badger."

Lachlan Murdoch, News Corp.’s spiky-haired scion and publisher of the New York Post , has sold the Soho loft at 285 Lafayette Street that he recently left while waiting out renovations at his new and eccentric Nolita mansion.
The 32-year-old got $7.5 million for his 3,290-square-foot loft in one of Soho’s most notoriously star-studded addresses, city records show. But the record is murkier when it comes to the buyer’s identity: An entity called Fairway Isle Limited is listed.
Mr. Murdoch’s exodus from 285 Lafayette Street follows on the heels of one of downtown’s most surprising purchases, when the heir to the News Corp. media empire snapped up a 19th-century building on the northeast corner of Elizabeth and Spring streets in Nolita last September. He bought the 14,500-square-foot building at 11 Spring Street, which served as a sort of municipal-lot-style horse stable of yore, for $5.25 million last September, and has since undertaken an extensive renovation to transform the building into a lavish personal residence. The building features an elevator and a 2,375-square-foot basement, and last year drew the prurient eyes of real-estate watchers trying to figure out who had purchased the mysterious six-story building known for the flickering electric candles in each of its dozen windows, which cast an eerie glow across the narrow Nolita streets.
Mr. Murdoch leaves a roster of heavy-hitting neighbors behind at 285 Lafayette, including rocker David Bowie and his wife, Iman, tennis-ace-turned-sportscaster Patrick McEnroe and hotelier Ian Schrager. And when he purchased the stables, he put to rest rumors that were fanned by downtown bloggers Gawker.com and Lockhart Steele that his neighbor, Mr. Schrager, was planning to buy the place.
Mr. Murdoch declined to comment on his downtown real-estate shuffle, though a real-estate source said that Mr. Murdoch and his wife, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Sarah O’Hare, are currently renting a Tribeca loft while construction finishes on their Nolita manse.
Mr. Murdoch’s real-estate investments appear to be as prudent as his acumen in his media career. In 1999, he purchased his Soho loft between Houston and Prince Street for $3.56 million, and in February unloaded the Lafayette Street spread for more than double the price, at $7.5 million. The eighth-floor condo has four bedrooms, a professional kitchen, a master bath with a steam shower and an 1,855-square-foot terrace.
Now that mod hotelier Andre Balazs and modeling czarina Katie Ford have split after 17 years of marriage, the two recently sold one of the prized properties they purchased together. City records show that in January, they unloaded a townhouse at 16 West 12th Street for $4.5 million. In May of 2002, the couple purchased the 25-foot-wide home, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, from Condé Nast International chairman Jonathan Newhouse and his wife, Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, a founding editor of Details , for $4.2 million. Mr. Balazs and Ms. Ford never occupied the five-story residence, instead deciding on a Wooster Street loft while they listed their West Village spread for $7 million. The property sat on the market since 2002, but, at its reduced asking price, finally closed in January.
Sara Gelbard, a senior vice president with the Corcoran Group, which sold the property, declined to comment. A spokesperson for Mr. Balazs said the hotelier was traveling to Miami and was unavailable for comment.
The West Village sale marks the end of one of the last ties between Ms. Ford and Mr. Balazs, who has since been a busy bachelor: Late last year, the 46-year-old purchased a 4,200-square-foot loft at 583-587 Broadway for $5.75 million. At his new bachelor pad, the creative impresario of the style-hound hotels Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles and the Mercer in Soho has been hosting his new amour , Uma Thurman, who also recently split from Gen-X archetype Ethan Hawke. Ms. Thurman recently purchased a quaint three-story Gramercy townhouse for just north of $5 million.
Former New Yorker associate publisher Chris Mitchell is leaving the magazine, and he’s also leaving Chelsea. On April 30, Mr. Mitchell left for his new post as vice president and publisher of Details and the soon-to-be-released shopping tome Vitals . And in February, Mr. Mitchell and his wife, Pilar Guzman, a senior editor at Real Simple , sold their 136 West 16th Street Chelsea co-op for $965,000 and, with a new member of the family in tow, went in search of more space across the East River.
They recently snapped up a four-story brownstone on Carroll Street in Park Slope. Their new outer-borough spread will be a family affair, as they plan to split the townhouse with Mr. Mitchell’s brother and his wife, who will live in the building’s garden apartment, while Mr. Mitchell and Ms. Guzman will reside in the upstairs duplex.
“We didn’t want to be that couple who had a baby and left Chelsea. But we found a 19th-century townhouse that we just fell in love with,” Mr. Mitchell told The Observer . “It’s in crumbling-estate condition, but we can now totally fix it up. It became increasingly obvious to us that more and more interesting things are happening out there.”
In Chelsea, Mr. Mitchell’s fashionable six-room co-op in the neighborhood’s oldest residential building was the backdrop for his modernist furniture collection of mid-century Danish artists. The 1,400-square-foot home, on 16th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, had a designer kitchen with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, turn-of-the-century moldings and cathedral ceilings. The building was built in 1883 and had other antique touches, such as Carerra marble stairs, hand-tooled doors and floor-to-ceiling windows.
“It felt like Paris,” said Douglas Elliman senior vice president of luxury sales Darren Sukenik, who sold the spread to two gentleman who were both medical administrators and had been living in a one-bedroom on Lower Fifth Avenue. The apartment was originally asking $899,000 when it hit the market in January, but after multiple bids, the spread closed for nearly 10 percent above the asking price. The spread also carries a $1,017 monthly maintenance.
“They didn’t have to renovate anything; it was in perfect condition,” Mr. Sukenik said.

Four-bedroom, five-bathroom townhouse.

Time on the market: four months
LONDON CALLING For this manufacturing executive and his architect wife, even a 17-foot-wide Federal townhouse on a tree-lined block between Second and Third avenues (a pipe dream for those of us trapped in a closet well east of Avenue D) was starting to cramp the clan’s style, so they set off with their two small children to land a bigger slice of the island. Two finance professionals-transferred from London with their small child-found the place big enough. “They were transferred from London and wanted a very similar kind of house,” said exclusive broker Martin Cherlin of Key-Ventures Inc. “They wanted to re-create that feel.” The couple snapped up this 3,500-square-foot townhouse, which shares the same block with Martin Scorsese’s place. The renovated red-brick townhouse has a chef’s kitchen with a commercial refrigerator and a six-burner Viking range; other luxuries include heated hardwood floors, six fireplaces, 11-foot ceilings and a private rear garden.

Brooklyn’s the new … whatever You almost can’t pick up a magazine these days without the cover lines blaring “Brooklyn is the new Manhattan!”, or “Manhattan Hipsters Flee City for Outer Borough!” Well, this deal provides more fodder for editors scouting anecdotal evidence on the rapidly gentrifying borough. Recently, a British movie producer and director, who had been living in the East Village near Tompkins Square Park with his wife, decamped to this 2,300-square-foot Clinton Hill co-op now that their first child is on the way. “With a baby on the way, they wanted more space. And they’re smart: The neighborhood is exploding culturally and economically,” said Jerry Minsky, a broker with the Corcoran Group, who sold the spread along with fellow Corcoran broker Merele William-Adkins. The owner, a single mom with two small children, decided to hop across the Atlantic back home to England after living for years in this Clinton Hill co-op working in fashion, designing outfits for numerous Broadway shows. “She wanted to be closer to family,” Mr. Minsky said. The fashionable East Village couple purchased the place-a six-room apartment with hardwood floors, a windowed kitchen, a built-in washer/dryer and south, east and west exposures-in a nearly all-cash deal. “It looked like something you’d find on Riverside Drive,” Mr. Minsky said. “It was one of those buildings where there were no small apartments.” Tracey Davidson, of Struck Realty, represented the buyers.

I’ve spent a few spare hours here and there working on a pure Haskell interface to MySQL recently. On the principle that perhaps someone else might want to join in the fun, I’ve published a darcs repository already (see the link above for more details):
darcs get http://darcs.serpentine.com/mysql
There are a few reasons I’m doing this. One is licensing-related: the existing hsql-mysql bindings claim to be BSD-licensed, but they’re just an FFI wrapper around the MySQL client library, so they (and any program that uses them) are subject to the GPL. My library speaks the MySQL wire protocol in pure Haskell, and I’ve BSD-licensed it.
The code isn’t actually usable for applications yet, as I’ve mainly done the work of getting login (a major pain) and querying working. I’ve spent a lot of time with the following very handy references:
- The pure Perl bindings for MySQL
- This incredibly detailed wire protocol description
- The wonderful Wireshark protocol analyser, which has been a staple of my life for almost a decade now
This has also been a great opportunity to see how well Hackage, Haskell’s equivalent of CPAN, is working out in practice. When I wanted a library that would help me to decode and encode the wire protocol efficiently and flexibly, I was able to grab binary. When I subsequently needed SHA-1 hash support to implement the password hashing protocol, I downloaded the crypto package. No muss, no fuss.

Episode 7 was written by George R.R. Martin himself, this combined with it being so late in the season had me expecting more from this episode. Not a lot going on this episode other than a few developments in the Riverlands and a bunch of relationship stuff.
In another Jon-centric episode, we see the Wildlings on the south side of the Wall marching towards Castle Black. Orell explains to Jon that his and Ygritte's relationship can never work, as he will never understand her. Later on Orell makes a move on Ygritte, is rejected, and subsequently warns her that she won't love Jon after she sees his true colors. This plays on the couples existing insecurities and after Ygritte spends the entire episode mocking the southerners and their customs Jon confronts her and tells her that despite all that the Wildlings cannot win. While nothing is resolved and Ygritte tries to convince Jon to commit to her in the upcoming battle, the couple elects to live and be happy while they can.
Catelyn and Brynden "the Blackfish" discuss their disdain for Walder Frey, as their being delayed by rain will insult the Lord of the Crossing. Later that evening King Robb finds out he's pregnant and is elated. It is very gratifying to witness a happy Stark family member for a change.
The eldest Stark daughter is less happy in King's Landing. Sansa confides in Margaery that she made some stupid, juvenile mistakes, after learning of her betrothal to Tyrion and the two proceed to cluck for what seems like a really long time but is actually only like 3 minutes.. i checked. I have no interest or patience for Sansa at this point. Tywin finally meets with King Joffrey and makes it clear he is the authority in the capital, Joffrey definitely cowers as Tywin ascends to the throne. While he cannot completely dismiss the young king neither does Lord Tywin back down from him, something Joffrey is not used to. Tywin also dismisses Joffrey's fears about the Targaryen girl in the east and her dragons.
Daenerys Stormborn of house Targaryen, Queen of the Andals and the First Men (and the Rhoynar), Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons is that girl, and she has made it her mission to free all the slaves along her way. Dany meets with an envoy from Yunkai and refuses his bribe while intimidating him with her dragons. Dany demonstrates that she is truly a scion of house Targaryen, unrelentingly taking charge of the negotiation and declaring war on the Yunkai'i. Before leaving the emissary warns of powerful friends who will aid them in their fight against Daenerys next episode potentially.
In a quick little scene Melisandre reveals to Gendry his parentage, not a huge surprise as the audience had already figured this much out, but the portent "There is power in king's blood." may not bode well for Gendry, or anyone else with "king's blood".
Jaime promises Brienne that he will keep his word to Lady Stark and return the Stark girls, something his character would never have taken seriously before. After his maiming and his time with Brienne Jaime is remembering what it was like to be an honourable knight. After learning a bit more about Qyburn the disgraced maester Jaime races back to Harrenhal to rescue Brienne. Brienne is being forced to defend herself with only a wooden sword against a giant bear, and Jaime jumps in to the pit to save the "maiden fair". I doubt even Jaime knows exactly why he almost sacrificed his life for Brienne but this definitely shows that he isn't the smug, selfish man we first met in season 1.
Theon loses his junk aswell..
Again the Riverlands held the biggest developments, Arya's kidnapping, Robb's baby, Talisa's bum and Jaime's heroism. It still feels like things are just building up, but hopefully after they come to a head we can look back at this episode as necessary and maybe even worthwhile. This episode seemed to jump all over the place and yet get very little, other than relationship gossip, done... not my style.

Even those members of Vikings nation that chugged sufficient quantities of Purple Kool Aid this offseason to convince themselves that 10 wins and a trip to the playoffs were in the cards for their favorite team probably didn’t think they had much of a chance of leaving San Diego with a win in Week 1. Thus, even though the second-half collapse left a bad taste, the loss itself was not a huge surprise.
Week 2 was a little different story. While the Buccaneers are a team with realistic playoff aspirations, they didn’t go to the postseason last year so most optimistic Vikings fans likely viewed the contest as eminently winnable. And a 17-0 halftime lead reinforced that expectation to all but the most jaded, fatalistic Vikings fans (read: almost all Vikings fans, yours truly included).
Teams with 10 wins in their future aren’t supposed to blow 17-0 halftime leads at home against borderline playoff teams.
So for those of you who went through the Vikings’ schedule prior to the season and forecast a win or a loss for each game to arrive at your 10-win prediction (and you know who you are!), some recalibration is in order. That Bucs game was supposed to be a “W” for a 10-win Vikings team. This means the Vikes need to steal one that they aren’t supposed win later in the season to offset the blemish and stay on course for the playoffs.
It also means the Vikings are losing any margin for error.
For example, losing on Sunday at home to the Detroit Lions simply can’t happen if you want to maintain your Vikings playoff-prediction with a straight face and any shred of integrity. Teams that start 0-3 don’t make the playoffs. Teams that lose to the Lions at home aren’t supposed to make the playoffs.
Like last week’s game, this Sunday’s game was marked down as a win on the preseason 10-win forecast.
Does that make this Lions game a must-win game for the Vikings?
Logic would seem to tell us it’s too early in the season for a must-win game, but is it? If the Vikings are going to be playing games the second weekend of January, don’t they simply have to win this one?
Of course, these are no longer the “lowly” Lions. This is a Lions team that has won six straight regular season games dating back to last year (including a win over the Vikings in Week 17 last season). From that perspective, this should in no way be viewed as a slam-dunk regardless of the Vikings’ 20-3 record against them over the past 12 seasons.
In fact, last week’s game against the Buccaneers was probably more of a slam-dunk than this week’s contest with the Lions. Even so, the Lions game is still marked down as a “win” for those who forecast 10 Vikings’ victories.
So I’ll ask it again: is this a must-win game for the Vikings?
Those that would argue that it is not a “must win” might point to the Vikings’ remaining schedule. The Vikings still get to play the Chiefs, who are making a strong case to be this year’s “worst team in the NFL” as well as the Panthers, who were last year’s worst team. They also have remaining games against the Cardinals, Raiders, Broncos, and Redskins. For argument’s sake, let’s say the Vikings win every single one of those “winnable” games. That’s still just six wins.
That means they would need to also take one of two from the Bears and sweep the Lions to get to nine wins. They’ll need one more “W”.
Does anyone have a Vikings’ win forecast for either one of the games against Green Bay? How about the Saints or Falcons? A 10-win season means the Vikings need to steal one of those games that they won’t be favored to win.
In light of their 0-2 start, their remaining schedule, and a 10-win expectation, Is their game against the Lions a must-win? If they lose to Detroit is it time to pack it, put Christian Ponder under center and prepare for next year? Or is it too late for any hope regardless of how they fare this Sunday against the Lions? I’d love to see some comments from Vikings fans on both sides of this, so make your case.

Half Court Shot Worth 1,000 Dollars Ends Surprisingly [VIDEO]
Lets be honest these shots are predictable. The person misses horribly or an amazing lucky shot happens. I can guarantee we will not see the half court shot contest end like this again.
So Atlanta Hawks season ticket holders can take place in the money shot at halftime. This is Kevin who can make himself 1,000 dollars just by making a shot. Kevin throws the ball down the court and then…….the ball gets stuck on that little piece of metal behind the rim.
Seriously how does that happen on a half court shot? New promotion NBA how about if someone does this again they get one million dollars. Just a thought.
Check out this crazy half court shot below:

This webpage was produced as an assignment for an undergraduate course at Davidson College
Expression Profiles for my favorite Yeast Genes
The annotated gene DOT1 has been found to have the following characteristics:
Molecular function: protein-lysine N-methyltransferase activity, which means the protein catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue in a protein substrate.
Biological Process: chromatin silencing at telomeres, repressed through the formation of heterochromatin; histone methylation; and regulation of meiosis, the process by which the nucleus of a diploid cell divides twice, forming four haploid cells.
Cellular Component: nucleus, the membrane-bound organelle in which chromosomes are housed and replicated.
best way to examine the expression of a gene under many experimental conditions
is to look at microarray data. Below are examples of DOT1 expression under specific
environmental conditions, taken from the Expression
This scale will be used for all the following microarray figures.
As you can see from the scale above these images, the brighter the color, the greater the change in expression of the protein. If the area under the experimental condition is red, the cell had induced expression of this particular gene compared to the wildtype expression. If the color is green, the protein was repressed compared to the control data.
However to examine the most interesting data, we would want to know which genes have the most change in expression under the experimental conditions. This would indicate that the conditions are prime for the gene either to be expressed or to be turned off.
This figure examines the amount of repression or induction incurred by particular types of experimental conditions. Those at the outlying numbers are the most interesting, as those conditions have produced the largest response from the gene. The positive numbers indicate when the gene has been induced, and negative numbers indicate conditions under which the gene has been repressed.
Examining the expression pattern under these conditions could lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the gene expression. The experiment at -22 Fold Change was ploidy regulation of gene expression, thus below we will examine the expression patter under those conditions:
On the first row of the figure, we can see the gene expression pattern for DOT1, with green indicating a repressed signal. Below DOT1, we can see two other genes that also have expression patterns very similar to DOT1 under the same conditions. This is another method of looking for gene function, and one can compare a gene's expression patterns to another to see if they could be expressed using the same promoter, thus may be linked. While the exact amount of repression or induction is not equal, the same patterns could indicate a link in their regulation.
Under the environmental conditions, this is an example with only several genes, however there are many other genes that also match the expression pattern of DOT1. As you can see from the image above, the gene directly below DOT1, RPA34, appears to have an almost identical expression pattern, but the amount of induction or repression appears to be greater. While DOT1 is barely induced in the beginning of the Heat shock experiment 2, RPA34 shows the same pattern, but with a large amount of induction. Since the expression patterns are so similar, we would expect the two genes to be similarly regulated. In order for the yeast to want to regulate two genes in the same manner, they most likely have very similar functions. When we examine the function of RPA34, we find it is localized to the nucleus, is involved in the transcription of the Pol1 promoter, and catalyzes the DNA template directed extension of RNA. While these two proteins are localized to the same location, the functions do not appear very similar. This could lead researchers to examine a link between these two functions, as they are regulated very similarly.
This data has shown us some interesting paths to further examine, however it supports the current knowledge about the function of the DOT1 gene.
This non-annotated gene is located in close proximity to gene DOT1, on chromosome IV. While the function, process and cellular location of this gene are unknown, some hypotheses can be made based on the similarity between the function of this protein and others using the same method detailed above for the annotated gene.
To see what kind of experiments have been done to record the expression levels of YDR458c, we use the yeast Microarray Global Viewer. Shown below are the key changes in expression ordered by author and condition for expression change. As you can see, there are several conditions that cause the gene to have a changed pattern of expression.
To compare this gene with the DOT1 expression, using the same Expression Connection database, here are the expression patterns for
the same experimental conditions as shown in the first two figures for the annotated gene DOT1.
As you can see, the expression patterns are very different, so although the genes are very close to one another on the chromosome, this does not necessarily mean they are under the control of the same promoter.
Unfortunately, there are no major changes in the expression of this unknown gene, as there were with DOT1. However, we will still examine the experiments that cause the +3 fold change in the gene expression of this unknown gene. These changes were caused by three separate experimental conditions: response to DNA-damaging agents, response to environmental factors, and histone depletion. As we have already examined several of the environmental factors, we will look at the response to DNA-damaging agents.
From this image, we can see the bright red under the mec1 mutant header. This indicates a strong induction of the gene under these circumstances. Also, we see that there are several other genes with known functions, that have clustered with the expression of the unknown gene. These three other genes may be able to give us a clue to the function of the non-annotated gene. For example, the two directly below YDR458c are both involved in maintaining and repairing DNA, and both are localized to the nucleus. This gives us a hint towards determining the function of the unknown protein. To be more certain, more expression checks should be done under different conditions.
Another condition that cause a significant fold change was Expression during Sporulation. This caused the gene expression to be repressed, three fold. When we search for other genes that show similar expression to YDR458c under the sporulation condition, we find:
This image shows the two most similar gene expression profiles to that of the unknown gene. As you may notice, again we see a DNA damage function. Microautophagy means the direct transfer of cytosolic components into the lysosomal compartment. Both of these proteins are found localized in the nucleus, or its membrane. Since the protein likely has a transmembrane location, we might guess that it is present in the membrane of the nucleus. Using the Yale Gerstein Gene Census for YDR 458c, we can confirm that the protein has a high probability of being localized to the nucleus, as seen in the image below:
searching the web supplement to the paper written by Gasch
et. al when they examined the response of yeast cells to environmental
changes, I found the non-annotated gene clustered with several other genes that
showed the same expression across the environmental conditions.
As you can see, the pattern is very similar between these three genes, and the two known genes have functions involving DNA transcription. Another method of examining function is to check the association of YDr458c with other proteins. The function of the associated proteins may give more information about the function of the unknown protein. To check for any protein interactions, I used the Yeast Grid, and found that YDR458c associated with only one protein, as shown below:
As seen in the image above, the associated protein, YJR057W is essential for mitotic DNA synthesis, and is also found in the nucleus.
searching the database UniProt, we
can search for other genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are similar
to YDR458c based on sequence similarity. The database found three proteins,
however only one had an already known function.
In the above figure, SRC1 is found to match YDR458c. The SRC1 protein plays a role in sister chromatid separation. Thus, it is active during mitosis, and also localizes to the nuclear periphery.
to so much of the data pointing toward an interaction with DNA and a localization
to the nuclear membrane, I believe it would be an educated guess to say that
the function of the non-annotated gene YDR458c involves an interaction with
DNA and is found in the membrane of the nucleus. Perhaps YDR458c associates
with SRC1 because it also assists in mitosis. YDR458c may check for damage done
to the DNA during mitosis, or may signal that damage has been done. This method
of hypothesizing function based on association with other genes because of gene
expression profiles is known as guilt by association, and while not always an
accurate method, is one of the better places to begin when the function of a
gene is unknown.

This analytics revolution requires a deep understanding of humans as well as machines and data. Without this understanding, it’s impossible for analysts to be clear on the purpose and goals of a project, explore new and different ways to define use cases, and be empathetic toward customers and employees – all prerequisites for success. Moreover, this understanding is necessary for data scientists to communicate the output of statistical models as compelling stories for executive decision makers.
To do that the first question is: does your data have a purpose?
Let’s make data analytics work for you – instead the other way around.
Who will lead us?

England star: ‘Moment I knew my World Cup dream was over’
Arsenal ace reveals heartbreak over injury that has ruled her out of this summer’s showpiece tournament
15 February, 2019 — By Steve Barnett

ENGLAND and Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs has revealed how she heard her knee “pop” – and knew her hopes of playing in the World Cup were over.
The 26-year-old was ruled out of this summer’s showpiece tournament in France after rupturing an anterior cruciate ligament during the Gunners 4-0 win over Everton in November.
At one stage there was a glimmer of hope that she could still recover in time, but when faced with the fear of spending years on the sidelines the choice became clear.
“I had the carrot dangled in front of me to say: ‘You’ve got six months. It is possible to come back’,” recalled Nobbs.
The midfielder in action for Arsenal
“Hearing the surgeon then say ‘this is a nine-month injury, you’re putting yourself at such a high risk coming into a major tournament of doing it again, re-rupturing and being out for maybe two years’… it’s the hardest decision to ever make.”
In an interview with BBC Sport, Nobbs, who has been capped 56 times by England, said she knew instantly that he had suffered “a big” injury.
“I went to press the ball and I felt like it bounced a bit funny, and as I went to turn… I replay it in my head where my foot just didn’t come with me, so obviously my knee has taken the hit. I knew straight away.
“I heard it pop. Probably, if I hadn’t heard it pop, I wouldn’t have been in as much shock or scared of what happened.
“As soon as I heard that, it was weird. It was like everything stopped for two seconds and then my knee started to tingle. I knew then that it was a big issue.”
Title boost as Chelsea draw with leaders City
ARSENAL’S hopes of winning the Women’s Super League were handed a massive boost on Sunday – without them having to kick a ball.
That’s because reigning champions Chelsea, bossed by Camden coach Emma Hayes, came from behind to draw with leaders Manchester City at the Academy Stadium.
It looked like City were well on their way to a routine win when goals from Tessa Wullaert and Georgia Stanway saw them race into a 2-0 lead within 25 minutes. But Ji So-yun gave the Blues a glimmer of hope when she scored from close range five minutes into the second half. With just seconds left on the clock the South Korean midfielder then struck her second courtesy of a deflected free-kick as the titanic tussle finished all-square at 2-2.
The result leaves Manchester City two points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table, but crucially the north Londoners have two games in hand.
For now, however, Joe Montemurro’s side will have one eye on revenge as they prepare to tackle Chelsea this Sunday in the fifth round of the Women’s FA Cup at Kingsmeadow Stadium.
The Blues beat their London rivals 3-1 in last season’s final in front of a competition-record crowd of 45,423 at Wembley.

Tribe Conference: My 6 Personal Tips and Takeaways
In September of 2016 I attended my first Tribe Conference and enjoyed the experience.
The Tribe Conference is definitely a conference worth attending if you are a blogger, writer, author, podcaster, or creative entrepreneur.
I say “creative” entrepreneur because the atmosphere has a creative vibe to it.
I didn’t meet any insurance salesmen. Most people attending were not corporate types. (Yay!)
This is a group of people who have a passion (like coaching or fiction writing) and want to meet other like-minded people and learn how to share their passion online.
Don’t get me wrong. If you want to turn your passion into a profitable business then this conference is for you too. There’s plenty of teaching on blog monetization mixed into the presentations to make the Tribe Conference worthwhile for creative entrepreneurs.6 Tribe Conference Tips & Takeaways!
Here are some tips and takeaways from my Tribe Conference experience:
Tip: Get the Premium Ticket
I invested in the Premium Ticket and must say it was worth the extra bank.
On Friday night things got kicked off with a reception for Premium ticket holders. I found myself hanging out with Ray Edwards (one of my copywriting heroes), Chris Ducker and his charming wife (Chris tells really funny stories) and Mike Kim (I discovered he has a great podcast.) Even met Jeff Goins briefly during the reception.
Here’s a photo Jeff posted on Instagram that captures this moment:
Also seated to my right with back to camera: Jathan Maricelli
A group mastermind was also included with the Premium ticket. We were broken down into small groups and then Jeff took us through a process of asking each other questions and providing new ideas.
This provided more time with Jeff and helped me get to know him better while learning from his feedback in a direct, personal setting.
I saw somewhere around 24 to 30 bloggers at different levels benefit from this exercise. Remember, the regular ticket holders did not get to take part.
My mastermind group included three people who are taking what they learned at this Tribe Conference and running with it: Caroline Depalatis of CultureWeave.com, Jennifer Main of Conscious Creation & Revolution, and Jathan Maricelli.
Takeaway: Live Your Life Out Loud
What I learned from Tribe Conference speaker Carlos Whitaker:
As a blogger, keep in mind that people are desperate for authenticity and truth. Live your purpose so others can too.
People will follow your authentic message because they want to live a better life. Your tribe wants to live their life (not yours)–just better than it is now. What are you offering to help them do that?
Tip: Enjoy the Fabulous Conference Venue. Oh, and Be Sure to Dress Warm
The Factory at Franklin (Tennessee) is a great venue for the Tribe Conference. It has a laid back, hipster vibe that is perfect for creatives.
I’m pretty sure next year’s Tribe Conference is going to be there again from what Jeff was saying, which is cool by me. I liked it so much I went back there on Monday for some of those tasty donuts from Five Daughters that everyone kept raving about. Even bought a Factory t-shirt.
I just hope their thermostat is turned up next year.
At times I was literally shivering. Was I the only one?
I think next year I will go ahead and pack some thermal underwear…and a winter parka.
Takeaway: How to Find Your Authentic Voice
Loved this practical exercise taught by Emily Freeman:
Find a quiet place of reflection and ask yourself these 3 questions. As you meditate on them, write down your answers because they reveal your authentic voice.
1. Frustration – What’s bugging you?
2. Passion – What makes you cry? (Pay attention to this.)
3. Hope – Where do you see hope?
Don’t limit this to just one question. You must answer all three. Why? Because if you only answer one question or two questions, you will end up with boring blog content. For example, Passion+Hope=Boring Optimism. Freeman compares this voice to predictable Hallmark movies.
Tip: Follow Jeff’s Tribe Conference Rules
At the beginning of the conference Jeff Goins shared three simple rules that he encouraged all attendees to follow…
1. Be Present
2. Be Helpful
3. Be Brave
I took these rules to heart and they helped make the conference a wonderful experience.
Be Present – One thing I liked about this conference was how people were actually present and in the moment. You rarely saw someone looking at their phone. The speakers did not give out hashtags or encourage people to run to social media. All the speakers strongly emphasized the importance of being present and in the moment with the other conference goers around you.
Be Helpful – I couldn’t help but notice how helpful people were at the Tribe Conference. Every influencer I met was eager to help out however they could. Everyone was friendly. The conference staff was easily accessible and willing to help if you had a question.
When you follow this rule, it makes connecting with people so much easier than trying to impress them.
Be Brave – The Tribe Conference emphasizes meeting people face to face. This is key to your experience. We were provided time to talk with other attendees each day, particularly Friday night when everyone came together for a meet-and-greet session.
Meeting new people can be challenging for introverts, I know. Even extroverts can feel fear when meeting other successful people. If you follow this rule and be brave, you will break out of your shell and make some great new friends and business partners.
Takeaway: A Framework for Persuasive Copywriting
Any blogger who wants their audience to take some sort of action should learn copywriting skills.
Here is the Ray Edwards writing formula to persuading others.
P – Person, problem, pain. Know your audience better than they know themselves.
A– Amplification. Show them the picture of what they want.
S – Story. The struggle and solution. What reward did they receive?
T – Testimony. Provide a preponderance of proof.
O – Offer. This is NOT the details of the product/service sold. This is the TRANSFORMATION. 80% of your copy should be about the transformation. (P90X is a good example.)
R – Response. How to invite them in.
S – Short summary sentence. This short sentence sums up the promise. Then you put it at the top, This becomes your headline.
Will I See You at the Next Tribe Conference?
The Tribe Conference is fantastic. I’ve already got my ticket for 2017.
If you are a writer, want to be a write (but don’t have the courage to say you are), dream about becoming a published author, or want to figure out how to monetize your passion and purpose–you should seriously consider attending.
If you are interested in connecting with Jeff Goins and getting more info about the next Tribe Conference, here’s where you can connect:
Let me know in the comments if I’ll be seeing you in September!

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is an ultra-rare disease characterized by acute kidney injury, thrombocytopenia, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (thrombotic microangiopathy) that occurs with a reported incidence of approximately 0.5 per million per year.
At least 50% of patients with aHUS have an underlying inherited and/or acquired complement abnormality, which leads to dysregulated activity of the alternative pathway at the endothelial cell surface.
Until recently, the prognosis for aHUS was poor, with the majority of patients developing end-stage renal disease within 2 years of presentation. However, with the introduction of eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against C5, effective to inhibit complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy, it is now possible to control the renal disease and prevent development of end-stage renal disease.
Dosing schedule and treatment duration remain controversial and should be rigorously studied.
On this regard, C5b-9 endothelial deposition assay may represent an advance to monitor complement activity in aHUS and to individualize therapy, but currently it can be performed in only specialized laboratories.
Keywords: Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, complement, anti-C5 monoclonal antibody, C5b-9 assay

Veggie rich diet could help prevent acute pancreatitisPublished On: Thu, Jun 28th, 2012 | Gastroenterology | By BioNews
A diet rich in vegetables could help stave off the development of the serious condition acute pancreatitis, a new study has suggested.
Pancreatitis refers to inflammation of the pancreas – the gland behind the stomach, which, among other things, releases digestive enzymes to break down food.
Occasionally these enzymes become active inside the pancreas, and start to digest the gland itself. In up to one in five of those with acute pancreatitis symptoms are severe and potentially life threatening.
Previous research had suggested that excessive production of free radicals, which are by-products of cellular activity, is associated with acute pancreatitis.
Furthermore, levels of antioxidant enzymes, which mop up free radicals, are increased during an attack.
Therefore, the authors of the current study wanted to know if an imbalance in antioxidant levels, associated with dietary factors, might make the pancreas more sensitive to the effects of free radicals and so increase the risk of acute pancreatitis.
They tracked the health of a population-based sample of 80,000 adults living in central Sweden for an average of 11 years, following the completion of a comprehensive dietary questionnaire in 1997 on how often they had eaten from a range of 96 food items over the preceding year.
Average vegetable and fruit consumption was around 2.5 and just under 2 servings, respectively, every day. In general, those who ate the fewest daily servings of vegetables were men, smokers, and those who had not gone on to higher education.
A similar profile was seen for fruit consumption, although people in this group were more likely to drink alcohol and to have diabetes.
During the monitoring period, 320 people developed acute pancreatitis that was not associated with the complications of gallstones – a relatively common cause of the condition.
The amount of fruit consumed did not seem to influence the risk of developing acute pancreatitis, but this was not the case for vegetables.
After taking account of factors likely to influence the results, the analysis showed that those who ate the most vegetables, more than 4 servings a day, were 44 percent less likely to develop acute pancreatitis than were those who ate the least – less than 1 serving a day.
The protection afforded by a diet rich in vegetables seemed to be the strongest among those who consumed more than one drink of alcohol a day and those who were overweight (BMI of 25 or more).
The risk of developing the condition fell by 71 percent among drinkers and by 51 percent among those who were overweight, when comparing those in the highest with those in the lowest, category of vegetable consumption.
According to the authors, the most likely explanation for the protective effect of vegetables is the high level of antioxidants they contain.
They also added that the reason why fruits did not seem to affect the risk of acute pancreatitis may lie in its fructose content, which might counter the effects of antioxidants.
The study has been published online in the journal Gut.

At MCX we believe in the life-enhancing benefits of desert expeditions and adventure travel. Our mission? Create a positive impact on people’s lives through adventurous activity holidays.
Each desert journey we host focuses on disconnecting, learning new skills, and having fun. Join us in the desert and we will invite you to experience something different, mix up your routine a little bit and forget about work, just for a while.
With over 25 years of combined experience organising desert expeditions, we are one of the best teams out there offering exclusive destinations and incredible itineraries. Travelling with MCX is about beginning a journey of personal growth, through challenge, and in the context of ancient local culture, where you reach beyond your own individual limits and discover what truly matters to you.
Sam’s passion is the desert. Always eager to learn, his years leading desert expeditions make up one part of a lifetime of continued personal development. From the Namib Desert in southern Africa to the Wahiba Sands in Oman, Sam has led hundreds of teams across some of the toughest terrain on the planet. When not camping out under the desert sky, Sam takes an active role in the development of young people, having worked for over five years with the British Exploring Society to provide training and mentoring.
Tim is a keen expeditions traveller with a passion for exploration and travel to remote places. His first taste of desert expeditions was in Namibia with the British Exploring Society, a truly formative experience in his life which has led to more expeditions and a great appreciation of the outdoors. Tim is keen on ‘slow travel’, and believes there is nothing quite like hiking and camping out under the stars to really help people get away from it all and disconnect from their busy lives. As well as sharing his experience with others, he loves to discover different perspectives and hear new stories from the people we travel with.

Doha: The Supreme Council of Health (SCH) organised a training session for healthcare providers on a formalised coding structure for the system as part of plans to launch the National Health Insurance Scheme.
The coding system ICD-10-AM allows the providers to use a uniform code for a range of services provided to patients. In turn, this allows for a coherent structure of fees for the healthcare system.
Participants included representatives from some of the major public and private healthcare providers in Qatar.
“This is the second of a series of training sessions on the new coding structure,” explained Husein Reka, SCH Health Insurance Programme Manager.
“The coding structure is crucial to the upcoming National Health Insurance framework because it provides a uniform system for labelling and categorising services patients receive.” QNA

What a night. What a game. It’s all still sort of surreal. The Chargers dug themselves a hole like only they know how to. They also climbed out of that grave and mounted yet another thrilling victory. Let’s talk about that final drive, and an unlikely hero that rose to the occasion for the Bolts.
The Chargers have the ball with 2:37 remaining. Already down their top target Keenan Allen, who left in the second quarter with a hip injury, they needed somebody to show up besides Mike Williams. Already behind the chains after a holding penalty, the odds were stacked against the Chargers. Thanks to Travis Benjamin, those odds greatly improved. Benjamin caught a 31-yard dime from Philip Rivers to flip the field just like that. What stood out to me was the play came against the Chiefs prize corner, Kendall Fuller.
Here’s Rivers on the play:
“That was huge,” said Rivers. “You know, we called that play a few plays earlier. I’m not sure where I threw it but Travis came up to me and said, ‘Hey, if we call that again, I think I’m going to have a chance.’ I trust my receivers so much because they don’t tell you they’re open when they’re not. They tell you what really happened. So, then we called it again and I said, ‘Alright Travis, I’m going to give it a shot and peak at you and see.’ Sure enough, he came roaring in there with that speed and made a great catch. He’s never in there in the slot running a bender with four verticals. He’s never in there. It was one of those, ‘Alright Travis, we’re going to trust you. Get in there.’ Sure enough, he was in at the right time. Those are two huge plays in that drive.”
That’s awesome. All of that. Rivers trusting his teammates. Benjamin having the confidence to do that on the biggest stage. The team needed one more play from Benjamin. It came at an even bigger time. On 4th-and-7. This might have been the best throw in awhile from Rivers. Gutsy. He fit the ball into the smallest of windows, and Benjamin made a play.
Anthony Lynn spoke about Benjamin:
“Travis stepped up,” Lynn said. “We made him honorary captain today. The way he has been practicing, it did not surprise us (to see his success). We have been seeing him practice. He started out the season pretty slow because of injuries, but once he has gotten healthy, he has looked very good. It was good to see him have some success on the football field tonight.”
How smart does Lynn look for naming him captain? That’s cool when it pays off like it did.

(Contributed by Dr. William Jensen, Curator of the Oesper Collections in the History of Chemistry)
As the global reputation of the Oesper Collections in the History of Chemistry continues to grow, these special collections are attracting the attention of more and more international scholars.
Starting in January 2013, Professor José Chamizo of the University of Mexico spent three months of his sabbatical working in the collections and returned once more in June for another two weeks. While at Cincinnati his research focused on the role of instrumentation in initiating chemical revolutions and on the life and work of the 19th-century Mexican chemist, José Ortigiosa.
In late June, the Oesper collections were also visited by Dr. Eberhard Slenczka, former Director of Libraries for the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremburg, who came to examine our facsimile of the 16th century alchemical manuscript known as the Splendor Solis in order to make comparisons with the copies found in Nuremburg, Paris, London and Spain.
Please direct questions regarding access and use of the Oesper collections to Professor William B. Jensen or Ted Baldwin, Director of Science and Engineering Libraries.

Baseball Told the Right WayIn-depth Baseball analysis on various topics regarding the sport we all love!
The player of the game was very clearly John Lieber. What a game he pitched, only allowing four baserunners in seven strong innings. There are a lot worse things that could happen than getting swept at Yankee stadium in the League Championship Series, but on a baseball scale, this is about as bad as it gets.
I still believe that the Red Sox can come back. I still believe that this Red Sox team is better than that Yankee team. I also am starting to come to my annual realization that it just doesn't matter.
I'm a stats guy who believes in the unmeasurable. What sabremetricians affectionately refer to as luck, I usually attribute to character or--even more simply--one player coming through when it matters.
In two games, the Yankees have, while the Red Sox have not. John Lieber steps up and pitches the game of his career. Johnny Damon strikes out four times in one game for the first time in his.
The Red Sox have not come through when it matters. Not yet. It's like the Red Sox are holding an Ace-Ten. They have holes, they're not perfect, but if they would only sack up and play the cards they're dealt, they might be able to take those cards for a little ride.
Which, of course, is not a good analogy, and some groupthink Yankee fan might stop by to interrupt my rambling self-pity. From the other side, one might say that the Red Sox HAVE played the cards they were dealt. They are just on the river and finally realizing that they are up against kings.
One more card to come though. It comes in the form of three games at Fenway Park where the Red Sox are 55-26 (43-38 on the road). They did so well at home because their offense is built for Fenway, where they hit .304/.378/.504 vs. .260/.342/.441 at stadiums that are not safety hazards.
But I suppose its only fair to mention that Game 3 starter Harmonica Arroyo has a 5.35 ERA at home vs. a 3.06 ERA on the road. I guess knowing that is sort of like knowing that only three cards in the deck give the Red Sox a winning hand.
It doesn't look good, especially now that Curt Schilling might be done for the remainder of the playoffs. If sometime in the next several days I start talking about off-season projections for the Milwaukee Brewers, please have a little sympathy.
For now though, I still have some faith. This is a very good team that could suprise everyone and pull something off. Baseball fans around the country ought not to hold their breath. Red Sox fans, I know you have no choice.

A New Type Of Philippine Real Estate Investment
Enjoy ownership, luxury, & appreciation in a Condo Hotel vacation home! Considering retirement in a Tropical Climate For many British, Australians and Americans, retirement time is just around the corner. At home, with low interest rates and high cost of living, the prospect of trying to live on a pension, in old age, is a daunting one unless you are prepared to substantially downscale your lifestyle.
For some, moving to retire in another country is an option which has been successful in the past with Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Puerto Rico being among some of the more popular destinations. But why not consider retiring in the Philippines?
Over the past decade, the Philippines has become a retirement haven for thousands of foreigners, particularly the Japanese, Korean, and Northern Europeans. Along with Thailand and Malaysia, the Philippines developed communications, infrastructure, and service delivery systems specifically geared to meet the needs of foreign retirees. Better yet, unlike most European Countries and South America, nearly everyone speaks ENGLISH in the Philippines.
The Philippines offers a significantly lower cost of living. The Philippine Peso (PhP) exchange rate is approximately PhP 48 to $ 1.00 or PhP 96 to 1 Pound [Sterling (GBP)].
Housing, food, and labor costs are quite reasonable. A One bedroom condominium can be purchased for around $ 60,000 or GBP 32,500 or a Studio for only $ 34,000 or GBP 18,000 and one can dine out on average at a three star restaurant for less than PhP 500. If you hire domestic help, a private driver’s salary is approximately PhP 10,000/month, while trained housekeepers earn approximately -PhP 5,000/month. These salaries are lower if you live in the provinces.
Cable Television, Hi-Speed Internet and Satellite Communications are cheap. One can hire an air-conditioned taxicab for eight hours for less than $25.00. In a country where a provincial Governor’s salary is only PhP 28,000 per month and a Presidential Cabinet Under-Secretary earns PhP 35,000, your pension can go a long way. So, if you have a retirement income of approximately $1,500 to $2,000 per month (PhP 80,000 to 100,000) you can live quite well in the Philippines.
As for health care, most U.S. Health Management Organizations pay for medical expenses incurred in the Philippines. Check with your HMO. The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs presently has a task force headed by former Secretary Roberto Romulo working to have the U.S. government accredit a number of first class Philippine hospitals for Medicare reimbursement. The Makati Medical Center, one of the nation’s best already has such accreditation. Unbeknown to many is that for years, citizens of nearby countries such as Thailand, Nauru, Tonga, Indonesia, and Malaysia have flocked to the Philippines for medical care, particularly sensitive surgical procedures. The quality of medical care at the better Manila hospitals such as the Asian, St. Luke’s, Medical city, Cardinal Santos, Philippine Heart Center for Asia, National Kidney Institute, and Makati Medical Center meets international standards.
A Japanese company is building a medical facility in Tagaytay city exclusively for Japanese nationals within the year. There are now close to 10,000 Japanese retirees in the country, and the number is growing annually.
The British government recently acquired a large tract of land in Fort Bonifacio to build a new Embassy. The British ambassador explained the larger facility is meant to help serve the growing number of British nationals retiring there as well. Japanese and Korean investment groups are buying homes and condominiums in Manila, and tracts of provincial land for retirees. This has caused a mini- Real Estate boom in the country. A retirement village exclusively for Japanese nationals already exists in Tagaytay, and more are planned. These are strong indicators of what is on the horizon
English is the Philippines’ official business language. Most of the people you will meet, from hotel workers, taxi drivers, sales or service people, government employees all speak English, or have a working understanding of it. The middle class speak English, without exception. All major newspapers and major broadcast companies use English. An English speaking visitor will never get lost in the Philippines. It is the universal use of that language that has been a strong incentive to foreigners. As well, communications links within the country and to other countries via the various commercial gateways is up to international standards. For example, the use of cell phones and text messaging is so common that housemaids, street vendors and food hawkers can be seen using their cell phones incessantly.
One will never want for adventure and sights to experience in the Philippines. There is always a colorful Fiesta, pageants, street festivals, and open public events going on. Lush with bountiful natural resources, one can enjoy the numerous beaches, resorts, golf courses, and play just about any sport, except skiing. There is an ice skating rink in Manila, though. Scuba diving and fishing are among the sports which draw the most number of foreigners to the rich aquatic offerings.
Shopping is the Filipinos’ second most popular activity, the first is eating. Manila is Asia’s undiscovered shopping Mecca. You will love the golden purple sunsets, the fragrance of the flowers at dusk, and the wonderful array of fruit and food. I used to enjoy watching the Sun set from the bar at the Philippine Cultural Center. There, you can listen to the Symphony, check out a play, or enjoy Grand Opera. There is just so much to explore and discover, especially in terms of nature, culture, and history. If you’re a betting man, there’s horse racing, the Jai Alai, numerous first class casinos, and of course, cock-fighting. Manila is well known for its exciting night life.

ETX Capital is one of the more popular online spread betting and CFDs platforms. Not only does it provide its current clients with a very competitive service and a state-of-the-art trading platform but it also offers very good introductory bonuses to new account holders. ETX also offers a very wide range of markets to trade, including over 50 currency pairs, multiple indices and a comprehensive range of European and US equities and ETFs. They also provide markets on bond and interest rates. Alongside the multiple markets that they provide, ETX Capital are also highly competitive with the spreads that they offer and have some of the lowest in the industry. As one of the largest and most reliable brokers in the industry ETX Capital can afford to offer many markets with spreads as low as 1 pip including the Euro-US dollar pairings and several other currency pairs.
In the first quarter of 2016, ETX Capital have redesigned their entire website with new colours although nothing much seems to have changed on the trading floor. It is still fairly easy and straightforward and now it is possible to open a trial account which wasn’t available in the past.
ETX Capital claims to have one of the worlds leading trading platforms and they really don’t disappoint. Their executive-looking dealing platform perfectly blends the simplicity that spread traders demand to move smoothly between markets with the availability of a powerful range of tools and options. The platform itself is entirely web-based and provides a very straightforward layout which is easy to navigate and allows traders to create personal watch lists and trade using multiple tickets. The charting software provided by ETX Capital has recently been upgraded further to offer excellent and highly interactive charts. These can be viewed for each market on multiple timeframes and there is a good range of indicators, line studies and overlays which can be applied to the charts to aid analysis. Furthermore, these chart are entirely free to account holders, along with the provision of daily market updates, briefings and access to the portfolios and trades of ETX’s in-house traders.
Four platforms to choose from at ETX Capital
ETX Trader – basic platform to help beginners familiarise themselves with spreadbetting/CFDs. Bid-offer spreads are fixed and trades come with an automatic guaranteed stop attached so your account will never go negative. Downside to this basic account are the wider spreads.
ETX Capital Pro – designed for traders with bigger account balances. It offers variable spreads that are based on market prices. More markets to choose from than a basic account and lots of technical analysis tools.
ETX MT4 – suitable for traders who want to automate their trading activities with the use of Expert Advisors (EAs).
ETX Binary – binary options product powered by Markets Pulse. Best to avoid as this is more like gambling than trading.
Support and Education
ETX provide regular educational webinars and seminars from ‘so called’ independent companies on areas such as trading psychology and technical analysis. ETX capital claim that their support is outstanding although our experience with them was quite of average support. Every new account holder is assigned an account executive who is personally responsible for each trader and the company are proud of this fact. Rather than going through a lengthy process trying to contact someone to speak to, each client has the direct contact number for their executive. This is certainly an important aspect of the ETX experience as they are clearly not only focused on providing a glamorous platform but also the substance to keep their clients happy. Trading desk telephone lines are open 24 hours per day and they also provide direct email support and feedback forms.
The platform can slow down during times of high market turbolence like NFP day. Also their finance interest charges for rolling positions overnight is higher when compared to others eg. Ayondo.

PAVE THE WAY TO DIGITAL PERFORMANCE.
In the organizational and production spheres, downtimes translate into high costs and the level of expertise required is a major challenge for less experienced staff, while errors risk irreversibly compromising product and service quality.
Immersive technologies introduce a major improvement in the quality and efficiency of performance in production, service and maintenance processes. Through these technologies companies can reduce the distance between people and the information they need to make more informed and conscious decisions at decisive moments.
Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and 3D Holography create a bridge connecting devices, platforms, people, information and places.
Keeping the workforce active and ready to face operational procedures and ordinary and extraordinary activities is the new digital conquest.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
As Scott Whittaker, SEM lab manager, positions the skull under a microscope, Walsh watches the image of it on a monitor. (James Di Loreto/Courtesy Smithsonian Institution)
In November 2007, Bill Homann, Anna Mitchell-Hedges’s widower, brought the artifact to my office in the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History for examination. Slightly smaller than life size, it recalled a crystal skull in the British Museum, and it seemed to me to be a close copy of that object, at least in size and shape. However, it differed from the British Museum example in its more elaborate carving, extremely high polish, and separate mandible.
The similarity of the two skulls’ size and shape can be verified using measurements and photographs taken at the British Museum in 1936, when the museum’s skull was compared to the Mitchell-Hedges one, which was then called the Burney skull after its owner, London art dealer Sydney Burney. According to an article published in the journal Man, the British Museum (BM) skull is 17.7 cm front to back (glabellar-occipital length), and the Mitchell-Hedges (MH) skull is 17.4; the BM skull is 13.5 cm from side to side (maximum calvarial breadth) and the MH skull is 14. Many of the other measurements taken are equally close, but as the article’s author, British Museum physical anthropologist Geoffrey M. Morant, notes (pp. 105-106), “A more interesting comparison can be made by superposing the outlines,” which clearly illustrates how nearly identical the skulls are in size and shape.
Adrian Digby, a young British Museum archaeologist, commented on the measurements and observations made by Morant in a short article accompanying the latter’s comparative study. Digby (1936: p. 108) offered the possibility that the
Museum skull was copied from an original skull, and that at a later date the Burney skull was a sort of composite copy relying for its proportions on the skull now in the Museum and for its anatomical detail on some human skull in the possession of the carver.
He came to the conclusion that it would be quite strange that
anybody wishing to carve a skull out of rock crystal, and taking a real skull as his model should modify its dimensions to fit those of another crystal skull which he would see was but a poor copy of nature. It shows a perverted ingenuity such as one would expect to find in a forger, but Mr. Burney’s skull bears no traces of recent (metal age) workmanship; so this suggestion may almost certainly be dismissed.
Digby’s analysis was perceptive. By copying the British Museum skull, then thought to be authentic, a forger would make his work look more legitimate. Unfortunately the science of the day was limited. Without modern equipment Digby was unable to detect any evidence of the skull’s recent manufacture.
After my first encounter with the skull in 2007, Homann returned with it to the museum in 2008 so it could be filmed for a Smithsonian Networks documentary, “Legend of the Crystal Skull.” Following up on my initial study, which included examining the skull under a high-powered light microscope, under ultraviolet light, and computerized tomography (CT scan) to determine what we could without harming the object in any way, I took two sets of silicone molds of surface tool marks for SEM analysis.
If the skull were actually Maya from Lubaantun, which was abandoned around A.D. 800, the tools used to carve it would have been sharpened stone implements combined with abrasive sand. Pre-Columbian lapidary technology has been studied with considerable detail for more than a century. Through my own research, I have compiled a large bibliography on stone carvings from controlled archaeological excavations in Mexico and Central America documenting the fact that pre-contact artisans carved stone by abrading the surface with stone tools, as well as wood, and in later pre-Columbian times, copper tools, in combination with a variety of abrasive sands or pulverized stone. No historic or ethnographic source of which I am aware indicates pre-Columbian lapidaries used hard metal, such as iron or steel, as filing, drilling, or cutting tools, or that they employed any type of wheeled or rotary technology (Walsh 2008: pp. 18-19).
Comparison of SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images of ancient and modern carvings shows the difference. A line incised with pre-Columbian tools appears as rough with a slight twisting, indicating the movement of the hand pushing a sharpened stone. Modern diamond-coated, high-speed rotary cutting tools show lines that are perfectly straight. Parallel lines within the incisions are evidence of permanently embedded abrasive. The sharpness of the cut and the exactness of the abrasive lines indicate the use of a hard metal tool with a very hard abrasive, i.e. diamond.
Micrographs of silicone molds from the Mitchell-Hedges skull reveal marks of high-speed carving tools and deeply cut parallel ridges left by permanently embedded diamond abrasive throughout the skull’s carved components. Some of the marks indicate the use of cutting tools less than a millimeter thick, which means they would have to be made of iron or steel, and the impressions of wheeled tools visible in the carved elements of one of the teeth are less than a millimeter in diameter. Under higher magnification, polished areas show parallel lines with a skipping pattern, indicating the use of a high-speed tool.
It seems reasonable to conclude from the SEM images that the Mitchell-Hedges skull was carved in modern times with high-speed, diamond-coated rotary burring and cutting tools of minute dimension. The teeth alone show the use of a rotary cutting tool less than 2 millimeters in diameter. I believe that the technology under discussion is decidedly 20th century. Considering the skull’s initial appearance in the 1930s, I believe it was created at about that time. The British Museum skull, from which I believe this is copied, was on exhibit fairly continuously from 1898.

When there’s a hiring freeze, it’s not the easiest time to be a biotech recruiter: As you may know, biotech companies have been experiencing a surge in layoffs in recent months, and nobody knows for sure when this trend will ease up.
While an industry-wide dip in hiring may concern you, it also creates an opportunity to step back and take a look at your clients, your stats, and your marketing strategies. Here, we’ve compiled some ways to stay busy and hone your craft while you find yourself with a little more time on your hands.
Strengthen candidate relationships during hiring freeze
If your stream of new talent is running thin, don’t despair – you can still reach out to your existing candidate pool and get to know them better. Find out how they’re doing, what they’re working on, and what their goals are. As you chat, be honest about what’s going on – and explain the action plan you’ll implement once the industry picks up.
At the same time, don’t limit your outreach to existing candidates. If you haven’t already, test out new talent engagement pipelines such as email, social media ads, and sourcing software. Experiment with different strategies and see which ones promise the best return on investment.
Review your process
Now that you have fewer day-to-day details to worry about, take a step back to look at the big picture. How is your overall strategy working for you? Any weak spots that could use some tweaking? Take inventory of four key metrics: average cost of hire, average time to hire, typical sources of hire, and employment acceptance rates. Are these stats where you want them to be? If not, use this time to make adjustments to your recruitment process.
You can also change or expand your strategy for attracting new clients. Assess your engagement rates, conversion rates, and the profitability of your advertising channels. Does your branding convey a cohesive message? All your social media should work synergistically and let prospective clients know exactly what you’re about.
Start planning now
When the hiring freeze ends, which may be sooner than you expect, you want to be ready to get back in the game immediately. To get into position, look at your databases of both candidates and employers. Take advantage of this time to reach out to new potential candidates and explain your services.
As you prepare for the next hiring surge, stay on top of hiring trends. When the economy booms again, demand for both traditional and non-traditional science roles will surge. A keen eye for upcoming trends, from health informatics to rare oncology, will give you an edge. Find out what’s hot and tailor your strategy to that.
Remember, you’re still in business
Companies rarely stop hiring entirely – even during a hiring freeze, you can reach out and ask what kind of roles potential clients are looking to fill. In uncertain times, businesses often place special emphasis on the quality of their new hires, while trying to cut down on the quantity. You’ll earn employers’ gratitude and loyalty if you can deliver top talent in trying times, so spend some extra time and energy finding hand-in-glove matches for clients who are hiring. By the same token, don’t forget about your existing candidate roster. In a frigid job market, candidates will need all the support they can get.
\When you’re a recruiter and there’s little recruitment to be done, it’s easy to get bored or restless. On the other hand, if you stay busy by investing in long-term relationships and business strategy, this hiring freeze may turn out to be the proverbial blessing in disguise. Before you know it, work will pick up – and you’ll be grateful you took this time to stay relevant and connected.

An official has revealed that a bird flu mutation could pose serious risk to more than 60 million people in Indonesia.
Indonesia is the country worst hit by bird flu, with 107 people known to have died from the disease, 13 of them this year.
Experts fear the virus, which is usually spread from birds to humans, could mutate into a form easily transmissible between people, sparking a deadly global pandemic.
"Some 65 million people or 30 percent of the country's population will be infected if a bird flu pandemic strikes Indonesia," Bayu Krisnamurthi, head of the national committee for control of avian influenza told reporters.
He said the estimated figure was based on the number of fatalities from flu pandemics last century.
Krisnamurthi said Indonesia would hold an emergency drill next week on the resort island of Bali as part of preparations for any such outbreak.
"We never know when it (a pandemic) will happen. This kind of drill will enable us to cope with the situation should one day avian influenza virus mutate into a form that is easily transmitted between humans," he added.
The drill will involve about 1,000 people and Indonesia "will be the first country in the world that tests its pandemic preparedness plan in full scale," said Krisnamurthi.

Session 1, 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.
Virtual Reality: How to Run an Online Law Firm
Featuring: Chad Burton, Modern Law Practice
Most law firms are more virtual than they think they are: think of all the web-based tools you use on a daily basis. Even so, most law firm owners are not intentional about the way that they apply and manage technology. To develop a virtual law firm, you need a plan. The good news is that the cost and availability of virtual law firm tools is broader than it’s ever been before. Now is the time to organize your systems, and to move your law firm from analog dinosaur to digital powerhouse.
Session 2, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Kid Tested: How to Parent and Run a Business when Everyone is Together, All the Time
Featuring: Carolyn Elefant, MyShingle; Tom Lambotte, Global Mac IT; Megan Zavieh, Zavieh Law
With many schools remaining closed, or operating in a limited capacity, lots of business owners are spending more time with their children than they ever thought possible. While that’s a wonderful idea in theory, in practice, it’s really difficult to be an entrepreneur and a parent at the same exact time. In this session, you’ll learn how you can revise your time management and business management tactics to fit your new, short-term reality.
Networking Break, 11:30 a.m. to noon
Mingle with fellow attendees and conference presenters to share information and meet some new faces.
Lunch Break, Noon to 1 p.m.
Session 3, 1 to 2 p.m.
The Client-Centered Law Firm: Focus for the Future

Join us for a discussion on how consumer expectations are evolving. Jack Newton, author of “The Client Centered Law Firm” will provide examples of how law firms can meet their client's needs while building a thriving profitable business that will stand the test of time. As an added bonus, attendees will receive a copy of Jack's book!
Session 4, 2 to 3 p.m.
Thought Process: The Psychology of Law Firm Marketing
Featuring: Megan Hargroder, Conversations Digital; Ernie Svenson, Law Firm Autopilot
Legal consumers are changing along with every other consumer as the convenience economy continues to grip the country. Buying habits are evolving, and understanding how legal consumers want to buy legal services now is a key component for any modern law firm marketing plan. If you’re not considering the behavioral patterns of your customers, it’s time to do so. In this session, you’ll learn what messaging and branding should look like for a law firm now.
Networking Break, 3 to 3:30 p.m.
Share final thoughts with your new friends before we officially conclude the conference.
BONUS SESSIONS: Attendees will receive additional recorded sessions covering PPP loans, data-driven decision making and financial management best practices.
Indiana Commission For Continuing Legal Education
Credit has been approved with the Indiana Commission For Continuing Legal Education for 4.00 General credits.

Do you suspect there is mold growing in your Cape Coral home? If so, the first thing you should do is call a professional. Mold is not something that you can take chances with. While there are benign types, the most common molds in Florida homes can be quite harmful. If you decide that you want to try mold removal on your own, it’s essential that you do so safely.
First and foremost, make sure you have a respirator or other equipment to protect your lungs from mold spores. Cleaning mold will release spores into the air, and they can then penetrate into your nose and lungs. In a worst-case scenario, those sensitive to mold can experience nose and lung bleeding.
Second, make sure that you’re not just cleaning the surface problem. If you’ve spotted mold growing on the sheetrock of a wall, understand that the problem is likely much larger than what you’re seeing. The real issue is likely inside the wall itself, and remediating it may actually require removal of the mold-infected sheetrock, removal of the mold-infected insulation inside the wall, and repair of a water leak. Even a small amount of mold could indicate a very big problem, and it can require the use of power tools, in addition to further exposing yourself to mold spores.
The best option is to call in the professionals at FP Property Restoration. We have decades of experience handling mold removal and remediation, leak repair, and more. Call us today at (888) 408-2335 to schedule a mold test or mold inspection.

A well-known homebrew channel has been updated to work with Nintendo’s recently launched Wii U console.
A group member going by the name dhewg made the official announcement via HackMii, noting that the homebrew channel works just as it did before on the Wii U.
“We have a new release with a new version of The Homebrew Channel; this will install on both Wii consoles, and inside the virtual Wii sandbox inside the Wii U. The currently used IOS exploit is courtesy of tueidj,” wrote Dhewg.
“Please note that this is not running in full Wii U mode; running this on a Wii U will probably work just like on a Wii. Also, due to technical limitations of the virtual Wii mode, BootMii will not work on a Wii U. If we are able to resolve this, we will make a new release with BootMii support.”
Dhewg also noted that the hacker collective might shift its focus to fully hacking the Nintendo Wii U using the homebrew channel as a starting point.
“We can all try to hack the Wii U together from inside Wii model!” he added.

Interview with the author, Dr. Carl Patrick Burrowes, by Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan at the launch of the book in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, January 15, 2017.
Few Liberians know the history of the Basenji – quiet dogs mated with other quiet dogs over the centuries to produce dogs that are nearly silent. This lack of knowledge about these dogs is similar to our general lack of knowledge of our history, so much so that we glorify others and dismiss ours.
In his book, ‘Between the Kola Forest and the Salty Sea,’ renowned Liberian historian, academic and author, Dr. Carl Patrick Burrowes, delves into the history of Liberia unbeknown to many, giving us a great appraisal on why that should change.
At the launch of the book in Washington, DC on Saturday, January 15, Dr. Burrowes was interviewed by Liberia’s foremost scientist of world renown, Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan, who was the National Orator at Liberia’s 2016 Independence Day celebrations. Below is a transcript of the interview between these two giants of Liberia’s intelligentsia.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: One of my favorite passages in the book is the opening section of your conclusion on page 333. Kindly read it for us.
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: In some villages deep in Lofa and Bong counties lives a breed of hunting dogs called Basenji that does not bark. Africans brought the Basenji into existence through selective breeding, as they did with several yams, African rice, and cotton. Hunters wanted dogs that would not scare away their prey, so they mated quiet dogs with other quiet dogs until they produced one that is nearly silent.
These unique dogs were once prized by the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, who attached bells around their necks in order to know where they were.
In many ways, the story of the Basenji is similar to the history of the Liberian people: We generally know next to nothing about the regal past and the torturous journey of the dog and the people who brought it here.
As the dog was bred to be barkless, Liberians have been inculcated to glorify the past of others and to dismiss our own.
Over time, the local past fell silent. Today, Liberians typically show little regard either for the ways of their ancestors or for the dog, which we often look down upon for being barkless.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: The first chapter of your book begins with the bold claim, on page 27, that “The story of the Liberian people did not begin in America, as portrayed in many history books, nor in the rain forest of present-day Liberia, as many people would assume.” Please elaborate.
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: I was always interested in history, even as a child. I remember devouring a loosely-bound mimeographed book that my father brought home called ‘Legends of Liberia.’ It contained over 100 trickster stories, historical accounts and other folktales. Although each chapter consisted of stories from a separate ‘tribe,’ I noticed common themes and characters. This led me to begin comparing and synthesizing various genres of tales. For example, Spider the trickster was not only common to all Liberian groups, I knew from my parents that Jamaicans, too, told stories about the same rascal, whom they called Anansi. Funny as it might sound, it was actually Spider who first led me to a pan-African consciousness.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: What would you say are some of the key findings of your research?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: Ok. Here are a few: The different languages and ethnic groups of Liberia share a common root. The breed of barkless ‘kaykay’ dogs found in Liberian villages was a favorite pet of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Kola – once used as an ingredient in soft drinks – was discovered by the ancestors of Liberians. Early European explorers learned from early Liberian seafarers how to navigate some dangerous currents and winds of the Atlantic Ocean. Rice growers from West Africa’s ‘Grain Coast’ helped teach Americans how to grow rice. Today, the United States exports rice to West Africa, including Liberia.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: In the introduction to your book you stress the need for scholars to think critically. On page 5 you say, “Organizing knowledge involves more than assembling multiple sources. Historians must ask critical questions about each one: Is it authentic? Is it original? Is it reliable? Is it typical? Who created it? When and where and why was it created?” Give some concrete example of how taking this critical approach made your work better?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: Ok. Here’s one example: Just the other day, a Liberian economist posted a story on Facebook about something that allegedly happened in pre-colonial Liberia. He took the story verbatim from a book by a French explorer who visited the Cape Mount area in 1666-1667 AD. The French writer made two claims that were taken as gospel truth. First, he said the ruler of Cape Mount had offered his territory to the French, if they wanted to settle there. Second, he said French sailors had visited pre-Liberia BEFORE the Portuguese Pedro de Sintra.
The person who posted on Facebook copied those claims word-for-word from the French writer, so in that sense his information was ‘accurate.’ What he probably doesn’t know is the French writer was on a secret mission to find an opening in West Africa for France, which was late in coming to the region. Instead of giving factual information, he was making propaganda to please his boss and stir French chauvinism. Both claims are false, according to the consensus among professional historians – including French historians. (See pages 261-269.)
But the person posting on Facebook wouldn’t know this because he’s an economist, not a historian. That’s why it really is best for all of us to ‘stay in our lane.’ Just as reading the Wall Street Journal doesn’t make me an economist, reading history books doesn’t make one a historian. At the very least, we shouldn’t copy-and-past stories from history books uncritically.
Here’s another example: Where did the name ‘Mesurado’ come from? Writing in 1700, for example, a British author speculated that the river was named ‘Miserado’ by the Portuguese ‘because it is incompassed with Rocks that lye under the water, and inevitably destroy any Vessel which should come nearer than half a League.’ Or, he speculated further, it might have been named by the French ‘who were Massacred here, cryed out ‘Misericorde,’ ‘Misericorde,’ ‘Mercy’, ‘Mercy.’ (See pages 185-186.)
Notice how both his explanations are negative and portray the place or people as dangerous.
His speculations have been copied and pasted by many writers who came after him, but they are false. The name actually dates back to the first Portuguese visit in the mid-1400s. But it was not given by Pedro de Sintra, who visited the area; and it is not even Portuguese. The name was given by an Italian writer named Ca da Mosto, who published the first account of de Sintra’s voyage, four decades after it occurred. Although most of his book was written in Portuguese, Ca da Mosto used an Italian word, ‘Misurato,’ to describe the river near what is now Monrovia. The word means ‘a passage performed in measured time.’
Da Mosto was saying the river was calm and steady flowing, not dangerous. You wouldn’t know that unless you are critical of what writers have said and are willing to dig behind them. When people ask me why it took 30 years to write this book, well, that’s why: Being critical and digging.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: On page 332 you say “one of the main problems of Liberian studies – one that has blocked the writing of the nation’s history – is the assumption of cultural and ethnic purity.” What do you mean?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: As shown in this book, purity never existed. African religious ideas impacted Judaism, and through it, Islam and Christianity. Likewise, African culture was impacted by imported elements, such as the use of Indian Ocean cowries in traditional religious rituals.
Similarly, the Wee, Glebo and Klao resulted from the blending of various Kru-speaking groups. The Mende emerged from the mixing of southwest Mande and northern Mande. The Loma acknowledge that they are a blend of southwest Mande and some Kissi ancestry. The Kpelle and Ma are a fusion of Mande and Kru-speakers, with some Kono as well.
The evidence shows that ethnic identities did not exist along the coast from time immemorial. Neither were they brought intact from someplace else. Instead, each was woven like a fabric, out of many threads.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: Your book is global in scope. You discuss the empires of the Sahel and factors that drove European explorers. You even touch on China and the Americas. Some readers might say your perspective is too broad. What would you say to them?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: I fully understand that reaction. After all, many of our scholars write so much about the Liberian state and presidents, it is almost as if we, readers, have been trained to expect more of the same. But I had to take a global perspective for two reasons: First, my book is about “the Liberian people, not the Liberian state. The story in my book moves from place to place because people move! If I had written a book about the Anglo-Saxon people, it would have started in France, moved to England, and then branched to all those places where descendants of Anglo-Saxons live: the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Second, Eurocentric scholars have presented our ancestors as living in isolation from the rest of the world. Some have labeled Kru-speakers, the Gola and others as ‘hunters and gatherers,’ living at a ‘primitive’ stage of existence. So, what about the multinational fishing trawlers that sweep the ocean harvesting seafood they didn’t grow? Why aren’t they labeled ‘hunters and gathers’?
Yes, it’s true our ancestors were involved in gathering some foods and commodities they had not planted, such as kola, ocean fish and deer meat. But much of what they gathered was not for direct consumption.
Those goods were traded through long-distance trading networks – just like the seafood gathered by fishing trawlers! So, long story short, I have included chapters on areas outside Liberia proper because I’m trying to show how we, too, were embedded in long-distance trade networks.
Many of Liberian book people don’t question the use of such labels as ‘hunters and gatherers and ‘primitive.’ They are what I call cut-and-paste scholars. If you went to high school in Liberia, you probably had some of them in your class, too. They would copy anything and everything from their classmates’ test paper, including sometimes their classmate’s name! To the young people here, I beg you not to be like our older cut-and-paste scholars. Read everything through a critical lens.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: Your book includes a chapter called “Egypt and Religions of the Book.” What connection is there, if any, between Ancient Egypt and the ancestors of Liberians?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: To explain why I did it, allow me to read the opening section of that chapter: The way of the ancestors – traditional West African religion – left no written records, but it apparently influenced religion in Ancient Egypt, which did leave extensive inscriptions. Those records show striking similarities between ideas and practices of Egypt and contemporary West Africa.
For over a hundred years, most Western Egyptologists credited ancient Egyptian religion to invaders from the Middle East or Mediterranean world. But, E. A. Wallis Budge broke with that consensus in 1911.
Budge’s conclusions drew on multiple sources: his experience as keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities in the British Museum; a scientific examination of mummies; historical and geographical evidence taken from hieroglyphic texts; claims of ancient Greek and Roman chroniclers; and impressions of contemporary African cultures derived from his first-hand observations in Egypt and Sudan.
The roots of Egyptian religion, Budge argued, laid deep in Africa. He found parallels in parts of Africa with no known Egyptian influence. For that reason, he concluded, the similarities did not flow from the Nile. Instead, it came from a common source in Africa, which predated Ancient Egypt.
My second reason for including that chapter is this: Many Liberians have bought into the idea that Christianity is ‘the white man’s religion.’ That idea leads some to reject Christianity completely.
But that idea is even accepted by some Liberian Christians. As a result, they look to Europeans and white Americans as the final authorities on Christianity, as if God is unable or unwilling to raise up Godly men and women from among us. I pray that some of what is included in that chapter will help dispel that idea.
As noted on page 106 of the Kola Forest book, Christianity was implanted in the Sahara before it put down roots in either Greece or Rome. Egypt and Ethiopia were the first two countries in the world to convert en masse to Christianity. Christians in Rome and Constantinople would later use the political power of their empires to marginalize the Coptic Churches of Africa.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: Chapter 10 is titled “They work excellent well in iron.” Please explain what that means?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: I took the title from a French author who visited the area of Liberia around 1666 AD. Speaking of blacksmiths at Grand Cess, he said, ‘They work excellent well in Iron, they mended our shears for us, with which we cut out our barrs of Iron, and gave them such a temper as made them incomparably better than they were at first.’
That French author was alluding to something scientists have recently proven. When Europeans first came to Africa, our iron smelting knowledge and technology was superior to theirs. Both Africans and Chinese iron workers learned how to make steel before Europeans did.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: One question on the minds of a lot of people is, were there empires in the area of Liberia like Ancient Mali, Ghana and Songhai?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: I’m sorry to disappoint those who want that, but the answer is no. I say ‘sorry’ because many of us suffer from what I call ‘empire envy.’ Not having empires did not mean our ancestor were odd or less worthy of admiration.
As noted by historian Philip D. Curtin, and I quote him on page 10 of the book, ‘empires are often cruel and unpleasant institutions and are not necessarily a sign of political progress.’ He added, ‘Africa’s great achievement in law and politics was probably the stateless society, based on cooperation rather than coercion.’
The spectacular success of the empires rested in part of two trade items: gold and Africans sold as slaves to Arabia. How many have heard of Mansa Musa of Mali? On his hajj to Mecca, he reportedly took an entourage of over a thousand people. That trip is renowned because Mansa Musa and his followers used so much gold buying things in the markets of Cairo that they caused the world-market price of gold to drop.
This story inspires pride in some listeners, but on deeper reflection it might inspire shame. First, here is an early example of an African ruler going aboard and wasting public funds on exotic foreign goods. Over a thousand years later, we are still hearing such stories. Second, Mansa Musa and other West African rulers invested very little in economic development. As a result, they left no public works on the scale of the Pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China.
Furthermore, it is estimated that between 700 and 1900 AD, more than nine million West Africans were sold into Mediterranean slavery, that bloodletting began in the context of West African empires.
So the reality is this: Not only did our ancestors not produce empires, they were so committed to equality and democracy, they were anti-empire. To use a European analogy that might be familiar to many of us, our societies were like the democratic ancient Greek city states while the Sahelian empires were like autocratic Rome. In reality, the love of religious liberty did bring some of our early ancestors to seek shelter in the forest.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: In the introduction to the book, you urge Liberians to stop using Eurocentric or racist words to describe our customs and history. You cite terms like “country devil,” “tribe,” “witchcraft” and “uncivilized.” How would you answer those who might say it’s too late to change now since those words are so widely used by Liberians to describe ourselves and our reality?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: The use of those negative words to describe ourselves and our culture was copied by uneducated Liberians from those of us who are educated. And those of us who are educated copied them from Western missionaries and scholars. As a result, we must accept responsibility for fixing the problem, since we helped to legitimize this language of racial inferiority. In changing our words, we will change our thinking. Arguing that ‘everybody is doing it’ is never a good defense for doing something you know is wrong.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: In the preface of the book you say your parents came from Jamaica to Liberia in the 1940s. Some critics might say a history of Liberians before 1800 should be written by an “Indigenous Liberian,” not someone of your background. How would you respond?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: Obviously, I do not accept the assumption that the value of a book is somehow determined by its author’s ethnicity or biological characteristics. In my view, writing a book is like cooking: It takes years of training, some passion, the right ingredients and a lot of patience.
Like many Liberians, I grew up thinking only Kru women made great palm butter. But, two experiences changed my mind. The first was tasting an insipid broth of watery palm oil thrown together by a Kru woman who obviously lacked cooking experience. The other was a memorable palm butter prepared by a male chef who wasn’t Kru.
I offer ‘Between the Kola Forest and the Salty Sea’ in that spirit. Taste it for yourself, and see.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: Share one or two things from the book that surprised you when you were doing the research.
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: The degree of Portuguese influence on our speech and culture. True story: A friend called me recently to ask if I knew why so many places from Bassa to Cape Palmas have ‘Cess’ or the related ‘Cestos’ in their names. I happened to know based on research for this book: The Portuguese were impressed by the unique baskets they saw people carrying along that stretch of our coast, so they name these places based on the Portuguese word for basket.
My friend seemed very skeptical about my answer, and I don’t blame him. First of all, direct Portuguese contact with our territory was brief and so long ago. Second, many of us were never told that the Portuguese named many other features along our coast, from the rivers like St. Paul and St. John, to Cape Mount and Cape Palmas. Whether we acknowledge it or not, the Portuguese had a major impact on our languages and cultures.
Dr. Dougbeh C. Nyan: In closing, is there anything you would like to say?
Dr. C. Patrick Burrowes: Yes. As we all know, Liberians went through a war. And war – any war, anywhere – is a form of temporary insanity. People take leave of their senses. Some 12 years after the guns were silenced, however, Liberians face the danger of normalizing abhorrent behavior.
I’m proposing a campaign to heal Liberia using history. A history that is balanced and inclusive. This is not a call to engage in politics or to rally around a party or some messianic leader. Instead, it is a call to rehabilitate our psyches and our spirit.
I would like the word to go out from this place that on this day Liberians embarked on a new journey, a journey that involves taking back control of our history and the best of who we are.
The journey will not be easy, but I hope each Liberian will find a way to advance the process. If you are a songwriter, why not write a song about some aspect of our history? If you are an artist, I hope the book inspires you to paint historical scenes. If you are a videographer, let you work together to produce historical documentaries. If you don’t have time to give but you have money, consider sending copies of ‘Between the Kola Forest and the Salty Sea’ to your favorite
college or school in Liberia. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

Wauwatosa passes new laws for rummage sales
A sure sign of spring and summer is getting some new rules in one Milwaukee suburb.
April showers not only bring May flowers, but they also tend to bring on rummage sale season.
Community members in Wauwatosa said the season was starting to get out of hand. Many rummage sales were lasting long past the published dates, sometimes lingering for weeks in a driveway or front lawn.
"Sometimes they get a little crazy," resident Dave Siebenbrodt said. "They last a long time. They go beyond the dates. They run late."
Alderman Jeff Roznowski doesn't want to put an end to the search for treasures, but he believes the city needs to help keep the spirit of the rummage sale true to its roots.
"It's a great community-building activity," he said. "But when that is abused, when people affect the image of Wauwatosa and use it as a guise for a commercial business, that's when the city needs to step in."
The city's Common Council voted unanimously to limit a homeowner's sales to three weekends per year. Any sales must end by 5 p.m. and only one sign can be placed on a homeowner's property.
"People are going to have to be more creative on how they advertise their rummage sales," Roznowski said. "Certainly with social media, there are a lot of different opportunities to do it."
Roznowski said the city is counting on residents to help report anyone who does not follow the rules.

The Tigers and Volunteers square off in the Game 3 of the series at 12 p.m. on Sunday. All three games can be heard on the LSU Sports Radio Network.
Seven LSU pitchers combined to record the shutout Tuesday night, as the Tigers limited the Green Wave to six hits. The Tigers added to their school record for single-season shutouts that was originally established on April 9 when LSU blanked Lamar for its 11th shutout.
LSU pounded out 14 hits for the game and scored six runs on 12 hits against Tulane starting pitcher Tyler Mapes, normally a member of the Wave’s weekend rotation.
“I feel confident in saying that this was our best offensive game of the season,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “Mapes is an outstanding pitcher who could pitch in an SEC starting rotation. I thought our hitters really dug in against him and delivered some tremendous at-bats.”
LSU is now 11-2 in the month of April after ending March on a four-game losing streak.
“I’ve said that teams usually start playing their best by April 1, and that’s what has happened with our team. We got off to a bit of a slow start in SEC play, but our guys have been resilient and we’re right where we need to be as we begin the sprint to the finish of the regular season.”
LSU took a 1-0 lead in the second inning Tuesday night. With runners on the corners, leftfielder Jake Fraley hit an RBI single to left field to score DH Sean McMullen.
In the third inning, Fraley hit a single through the right side of the field to score rightfielder Mark Laird and centerfielder Andrew Stevenson and give the Tigers the 3-0 lead.
First baseman Tyler Moore led off the fifth inning with a single to centerfield. After stealing second and moving to third on a wild pitch, Moore scored on a groundout by Stevenson to extend the LSU lead to 4-0.
The Tigers added the final two runs in the sixth inning. Laird doubled to left-center field to plate third baseman Christian Ibarra. McMullen then hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score Stevenson.
Junior left-hander Zac Person (2-1), the second of seven LSU pitchers, earned the win after only allowing one hit in an inning of work. Person replaced LSU starting pitcher Kyle Bouman, who worked 4.1 innings and allowed just three hits.
Mapes (4-3) was charged the loss after allowing six runs on 12 hits in 5.1 innings of work with one walk and three strikeouts.

The question: is the Jaguar F-Type the best looking new car for 2013? I work at a Jaguar and Land Rover Dealership; so my opinion is ultimately biased. The answer, if you ask me, is YES.
There were a lot of new lookers this year. Some of the ones that top my list were: Porsche Cayman/Boxter, Chevy Corvette, F12berlinetta, Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S, MB CLA, and Ford's Fusion.
The price range for these cars is from the low 20's to the mid 300's. The cars are all lookers. However bad angles can be found on all of them, except the Jag. The MB and Ford are automatically out because they have 4-doors. 4-door cars can look beautiful, but when was the last time you saw one on a 12 year old's wall? They just don't grab you like or look as good as a coupe/convertible. The Corvette has just a few too many hard lines. I'm unsure of my feelings on the rear of the FR-S/BRZ; where the trunk and bumper meet-up doesn't look quite right. I love the more newly sculpted side, and more aggressive front end of the Porsche, but side from the center exhaust the rear end still looks a bit like design vomit. The rear design came out fast, at once, and ends the car's lines too abruptly. Ferraris are always beautiful, if not for the body then definitely for the badge. I have to say the F12 looks great from all vantages, except one, the low and head on angle. It looks like a grinning toothless jack-o-lantern.
I know I am going to get some slack for what I have said. What do you think? To sway you, here are some shots of the F-Type I took when I had a V8-S this weekend.

From the point of view of an experienced expert golf player. Stix Set Golf Clubs …
selecting the best golf clubs can make or break a game. While Callaway golf clubs have their benefits, one brand has actually consistently captured my attention and changed my playing experience– Golf Clubs.
The graphite shafts are likewise matte black, regardless of which finish you choose for your clubheads. Again, they look wonderful.
over the course the last six months approximately there is one piece of golf devices that I have actually received more questions about than most likely anything else what is it so if you’re not knowledgeable about sticks essentially it’s a more recent Golf Club producer that basically makes high quality clubs direct consumer so their pitch is we’re going to send you an incredible set of golf clubs without the markup of the middleman however the concern is are they in fact as good as going and getting you know a set of clubs from Titleist or Mizuno or Callaway or custom-made which’s what we are going to find out here so I have yet to really ever see a set of sticks in person
so me unpacking this is going to be the first time I’ve ever laid eyes on a set of Sticks golf clubs but something you require to know about me and my golf video game currently it’s well not great and we’ll simply say over the course the last three or four years it’s fallen back therefore the clubs that I was suitabled for a while back maybe my swing speed is slowed down a little bit my piece has actually gotten worse so the club’s always suitable for way back when I do not know that they’re the perfect fit for me where my game currently stands so upload is sticks the answer a new driver a brand-new putter new Three Wood a brand-new 5 wood that the whole shebang is here therefore I’m actually thrilled to see what these are all about I’m thrilled to see them I’m thrilled to get them out on the course which’s where we’re speaking about today’s video we’re going to discuss whether or not you should think about getting a set of sticks and based on what I’ve heard I’ve got high expectations so let’s discover if they live up to them
okay this is going to be uncomfortable but we’re just gon na we’re gon na do it let’s see what we got foreign easily you get the whole bag all the clubs get out of here we go another do you need to see what we got here we got a 7 iron impression all right these are these are quite sleek and quite sexy so graphite shafts stiff shafts curious to see how those go but the entire like matte black look you know I don’t understand if you can inform I’m practically type of a all black neutral color type of person and uh these in shape these fit pretty well I wonder to see how the matte color how that holds up throughout dozens of rounds
Revealing Playing Golf Sparkle: Stix vs. Callaway
Callaway has actually definitely made its mark in the golf equipment industry, however the innovation and precision workmanship of Stix Golf Clubs have actually set them apart. Through groundbreaking technology, superior materials, and careful attention to information, clubs have actually regularly delivered remarkable outcomes on the course.
My Trusted Ally: The Extraordinary Pitching Wedge
Within my collection of Golf Clubs, the Pitching Wedge has become an indispensable possession. Boasting a sleek design and advanced functions, this club encapsulates the essence of the brand name. With amazing balance, responsive feel, and extraordinary control, the Stix Pitching Wedge has actually significantly raised the bar for my efficiency.
The incorporation of advanced products, consisting of a carbon-fiber shaft and tungsten weighting, has actually caused consistent, accurate shots with impressive spin control. This club has actually redefined my approach to short-game shots, and its reliability has strengthened its location as my favorite buddy on the course.
A Day at the Florida Greens: Putting Stix to the Test
120 in with pitching wedge it’s the first time I have actually ever struck this club so see how it goes all right I swear I am not making this up driver middle to Fairway second shot pitching wedge and here’s a here’s where we’re sitting we’re sitting about four feet out see what this putter can do [Music] I swear I am not making this up first 3 shots well 4 because I hit 2 drives very first shots with sticks clubs we make a birdie on a hole that honestly I can’t remember the last time I buried this whole so again not stating it’s the clubs but we’re off to a good start alright so now we have actually done the unpacking I have actually gotten them out on the course and let’s just say
I’ve got some thoughts about these clubs we’re going to cover the performance of each Club we’re going to speak about the purchasing procedure we’re going to speak about the clubs I like the clubs I do not like the pros the cons all of those things uh so if that’s what you’re searching for keep watching all right so right now you might be wondering wait a full set of clubs for under a thousand dollars is this is this actually possible so what makes Sticks golf clubs possible how do they get the cost down well it’s a direct to Customer brand name which means you’re not gon na be able to go into your regional golf shop and pick up a set of sticks you need to purchase them through their site or a handful of third-party other websites like playbetter.com you can likewise Pick Up Stix clubs so because of that since they’re not normally paying a third party they can keep the rates lower and provide you much better quality without the markup of a brand like custom-made or Titleist or ping or any other brand names not to mention a lot of those other brands invest a lot of money on design on marketing and things that do not always assist your golf game but simply make whatever seem cooler than maybe it actually is so sticks tries to combine all of that down as much as possible to give you an actually actually high quality item without all the extraneous things that can add to cost so
prior to we enter into the performance of these clubs let’s real fast discuss the buying process due to the fact that possibilities are if you’re thinking about purchasing a better set of clubs you’re most likely planning to go get suitable for them and you might be thinking well it resembles if I’m purchasing these online if I’ve never struck them then how am I going to do that and does it work
Envision a peaceful morning on the greens of my local Florida golf club. The sun gently increases, casting a warm radiance throughout the landscape, while a light breeze carries the promise of a tough yet rewarding round ahead. Armed with my relied on Stix Golf Clubs, I step onto the course with a sense of determination.
if individuals are taking a shot on the dark if they’re going to spend hundreds of dollars on you on an item they have never ever utilized then you’ve got to have a quite strong refund policy sadly Stix does so feel comforted knowing you can get them for thirty days and take them out for a test drive and if they don’t work for you you can get a refund no questions asked no problem so let’s talk about First Impressions I pulled these bad boys out of package and among the important things you will see with them is matte black whatever they now do come in silver clubs also however usually speaking their signature look is matte black matte black irons matte black shafts matte black whatever and I personally love the appearance I was extremely shocked I anticipated the durability on these to be well
dreadful if you’ve ever seen someone that plays colored clubs typically after like one round it’s starting to wear apparently Stix uses some super fancy diamond coding uh that is more long lasting than 95 percent and of other colored clubs on the market I’ve played about half a dozen rounds with my stick set so far and honestly uh they look great there is definitely nowhere on the wedges there is no signs of fading yet so already I’m quite impressed with their resilience we’ll see what takes place over the long term uh but the black finish not just looks excellent it seems quite long lasting also so when you buy your clubs you can likewise get a sticks bag in addition to it and total I was truly pleased with the quality of the bag had lots of storage

Here’s the thing about the sticks lineup as a whole they are placed to be kind of your first set after you start playing golf and so I’ve been as low as like a 7 and now
I’m trending up towards like 12 13 14. actually on my journey back East I shot an 85 and then I shot 103 the next day my golf game is type of in shambles so I began playing with these and one of the things I instantly observed is I was hitting the ball straighter I wasn’t having enormous slices and sometimes I actually had a draw on the ball and So after speaking to the six group that is among the important things that they discussed was the truth that most people that are you understand newer gamers they’re starting their huge Miss is a piece so all of these clubs are compensating to attempt and you understand rain that slice in and as someone who has and has a slice had to compensate it Stix Set Golf Clubs.
for his entire playing golf career I discovered it in a huge method all the time with my irons I basically shift I aim out left and I bring the ball back in and what I discovered over over the first couple of rounds with my clubs is I would intend left to compensate for it and the ball would go dead straight left and I was like huh it it doesn’t normally do that and so I would have to like adjust and this is taking like I’m still dealing with this like lining up correctly to prepare to hit the ball straight and when I do it goes straight and the ranges have actually been pretty spot on for what I expected them to be compared to my Mizuno clubs so with this stick set I truthfully I anticipated to basically play 2 or three rounds with them examine them and call it good however you know spoiler alert I’m keeping them in the bag for the time being I’m really I’m travelling to Georgia

There was pandemonium at a polling unit in Ikot Udo Ossiom village, Ukanafun Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State as a man who attempted to snatch ballot box was shot dead.
The suspected culprit was gunned-down by soldiers drafted to the area for the governorship and State Assembly elections on Saturday, March 9.
The Nation reports that upon arrival of the Independent National Electoral Commission officials to the area, the man made a move to scamper with the ballot box but was stopped by soldiers.
However, he came back a second time and took away the box. The soldiers opened fire on him and shot him dead.
His corpse was left at the scene of the incident, just as the area has been thrown into mourning.

Now you don't...
I have been using the Philips Silver Sensor for over 3 years to capture over the air high definition television. My position in the sky facing south means I get a large number of channels from both Toronto and Buffalo for free. Obviously, free is great.
What has not been great is having a big antenna pointing out the window at all times. It was too wide to hide behind the TV and so I had to have it on display at all times. I thought this was just what I had to live with in the name of free TV until I suddenly realised there might be other options out there.
Enter the Terk Omnidirectional Flat Antenna. Omnidirectional means the antenna can pick up signal from all directions. The Philips Silver Sensor is directional, meaning it needs to be pointed directly at the signal.
I found the Terk on Amazon for less than $50 and had it in my hands within about 48 hours*. And so far, so good. It tucks in nicely behind the TV and picks up the channels I watch most often. I will have to pull it out towards the window for certain channels with weaker signals, but all in all, this is the solution I was looking for.
Now that I have solved that issue, I just need to sort out the mess currently happening behind my TV. It's very obvious from one angle.
But thankfully less obvious from the other more frequently seen angle.
My future plans include:
- Covering the thermostat
- Hiding the dvd player in a drawer (big plans for this, I hope it works!)
- Moving my modem and router onto one of the shelves by drilling holes in the back of my tv unit
- Covering up the air intake vent with a plant
- Tacking the extension cord to the baseboard (after the baseboards have been freshly painted)
Yep, I have lots of plans.
But for now, I will just enjoy my free crystal clear TV picture without having to look at an unsightly antenna.

The Game Of Thrones Cast Drop Hints And Teasers At The Fashionable Season 8 Premiere
We are only a few weeks away from the Season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones . HBO has been very secretive heading into the final season, but cast members have still dropped a few hints here and there about what's ahead for our favorite characters (at least the ones who are still alive).
Some of those hints have not really told us anything we don't know, but others have shed some light on who might win the Iron Throne when it's all said and done.
Back in July, Sophie Turner revealed that the final season is the bloodiest ever — no surprise there — but she also teased that there will be plenty of betrayal. The actress did not name any characters in her spoiler, though it sounds like everyone is up to their old tricks this season.
"This season is bloodier than ever," Turner shared. "It’s full of betrayal, full of war, full of danger. That’s all I can say without giving too much away."
In September, George R. R. Martin told fans that the ending will be "bittersweet." According to Entertainment Tonight , the Game of Thrones author likened it to the end of J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings , which he also thought had a bittersweet element to it. Exactly what that means for Game of Thrones , of course, is yet to be seen.
Speaking of the ending, Peter Dinklage told fans last fall that the conclusion is "beautiful," and promised that fans are in for an amazing ride. Director David Nutter followed that up by saying the final season definitely lives up to the hype. Kit Harington has also expressed satisfaction with the ending, though Maisie Williams warned fans that, no matter what happens, nobody is going to like it.
For most members of the cast, being a part of Game of Thrones for the past eight years has consumed their lives. For Harington, the series effectively launched him into the spotlight but also brought him together with his wife, Rose Leslie. The pair exchanged vows last summer and plan to watch the final season together.
Season 8 of Game of Thrones premieres April 14.

UNDP is committed to transparency and accountability and places great value in learning from its work in order to continue improving its performance. The previous Handbooks on Monitoring and Evaluation have served the organization well for more than a decade with over 1 million downloads. However, changes globally and across UNDP including the adoption of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals; revised Norms and Standards of the United Nations Evaluation Group; UNDP’s revised Evaluation Policy; and the new Strategic Plan, 2018-2021, called for a set of new Evaluation Guidelines.
The increasing necessity of evaluation for accountability, transparency and organizational learning has significantly impacted the evolution of UNDP’s evaluation guidelines over the years, and is captured in this infographic.
The Guidelines bring clarity to roles and responsibilities within UNDP programme units for evaluation; provide more detailed guidance for developing evaluation plans that will ensure broad evaluative coverage of UNDP programmes and give programme units detailed templates to facilitate and strengthen decentralized evaluations. This will support implementation of evaluations and ensure that UNDP decentralized evaluations produce high quality, credible and usable findings, conclusions and recommendations to strengthen our accountability and learning as an organisation.
To develop these Guidelines and strengthen UNDP’s decentralized evaluation function, the IEO engaged extensively with colleagues across headquarters, regional and country offices. The IEO will be collaborating further with regional and country offices throughout 2019 to roll out the Guidelines, with training’s, webinars and workshops.
Although UNDP staff are the primary audience for the Guidelines, I hope they will contribute to the efforts of all our partners who, like UNDP, strive towards greater development effectiveness, writes Indran Naidoo, Director, IEO UNDP.

This feature will provide benefit for speed up development for multiple error cases in the application.
The base template in the Smartface covers multilanguage error messages, also error logging for the Smartface Enterprise Server / Smartface Cloud Services. This default behavior is customizable.
If the error is handled with try catch block or with the error event(s) of the raising object, Application.onError event is not raised.
The thrown error object is passed as a parameter to the event function. This object is wrapped with type information regarding which type of this error is. This information is accessible with the “type” property of the “e” parameter object.
Error types are:
• Server Error
• Size Overflow
The properties of the “e” object might different in each error type.
In order to avoid firing of an event, please wrap those lines of code with in try catch blocks when needed.
The syntax errors can be avoided using the Syntax Check button on the Smartface.
The event argument has the following properties:
The Server Error is a type of error originated from the use of network objects ( XMLHttpRequest ). It's raised whenever network related error occurs, such as timeout, socket layer problems and server error messages. The network objects have their own onServerError events. In these events, the event argument “e” has the following properties by default.
type: It is “Server Error” as a string, maintaining the same behavior in Application.onError.
responseCode: A number value represents the error code. The values between 1-99 are core level socket errors raised by the internal code; the values greater than 99 are the "http" error codes received from the connected server. More information about response codes can be found on "See Also" section of this article.
message: A user friendly error message coming from core level socket errors or the "http"body message received from server based on the value of "responseCode".
A network object which has the onServerError is defined raises the onServerError of its own. If that event is not bound, the event of Application.onError is raised (Having the onServerError set prevents raising the Application.onError method for that network object) . On both events, the event argument is the same also the “this” keyword references the same network object. In most of the cases, in a project the business level server error codes should be handled in the same manner. Using the Application.onError event lifts the burden of writing different event codes for each network object, also providing special behavior for network object if needed. It also provides option to write separate code for errors if needed.
Timeout Error : After running the network object the following event argument can be observed:
Server Status Code Error

U.S. academic Haleh Esfandiari and two other Iranian-Americans have been “formally charged” with endangering national security and espionage, Iran’s judiciary spokesman said Tuesday.
“Esfandiari has been formally charged with endangering national security through propaganda against the system and espionage for foreigners,” spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi told reporters. “She has been informed of the charges against her.”
Jamshidi did not say when the specific allegations had been read to Esfandiari, director of the Middle East Program at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars. She has been held at Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison since early May.
Jamshidi said the same charges also had been lodged against Kian Tajbakhsh, an urban planning consultant who also has worked for the World Bank, and journalist Parnaz Azima. No trial date has been announced and Jamshidi said the investigation against all three is continuing.
It was the first time the government has confirmed the arrest of Tajbakhsh, who was believed to have been taken into custody around May 11, according to George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Azima, who works for the U.S.-funded Radio Farda, was detained but released and barred from leaving the country.
The Intelligence Ministry has accused Esfandiari and her organization of trying to set up networks of Iranians with the ultimate goal of creating a “soft revolution” in Iran, along the lines of the revolts that ended Communist rule in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union.
The Ministry has alleged that the Open Society Institute, which seeks to promote democracy, was part of the conspiracy.
Esfandiari’s family, the Wilson Center and the Open Society Institute deny the allegations.
Courts have wide latitude
Under Iranian law, the distinction between someone being accused and charged is less clear than in the United States and many Western countries, especially in matters of national security.
Security courts have wide latitude, with the option of dropping the proceedings at any time or even holding trials in secret.
However, Jamshidi’s statement that specific allegations had been read to Esfandiari and the others indicates the cases have been raised to a new level under the Iranian legal system.
The Associated Press telephoned a spokeswoman for the Soros Foundation in New York for comment, but she could not be reached due to the early hour in the United States.
The 67-year-old Esfandiari has for years brought prominent Iranians to Washington to talk about the political situation in Iran, some of whom have been subsequently detained and questioned back home. Her defenders say some of those she brought to the U.S. were supporters of the Iranian government who sought to explain Tehran’s stance to Americans.
Esfandiari had been trapped in Iran since December, when three masked men with knives stole her luggage and passport as she headed to the airport to leave the country, the Wilson Center said. In the weeks before her arrest, she was called in for questioning daily on her activities, it said.
Iran has stepped up accusations that the United States is trying to use internal critics to destabilize the government. Tensions have mounted between the two countries over Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. allegations that the Iranians have been supporting armed groups in Iraq.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s hardline government has also increased restrictions on local non-governmental organizations, particularly women’s rights groups and other critics.

Why Metal Shipping Containers Are the Best Choice for Cargo Transportation Businesses
If you operate a cargo transportation company, then you need the right shipping or cargo containers to move customer cargo from one location to another. Currently, there are several types of shipping containers available on the market, and choosing the most appropriate one for your line of business is vital to its growth. The following points explain why shipping containers made of metal material stand out from the other types of shipping containers found on the market.
Conserves natural resources
Today, almost all cargo transporters and their customers are increasingly becoming aware of how their activities impact the natural environment, and you are most likely no exception. Choosing shipping containers that are recyclable and reusable is a wonderful way to reduce the need for extracting new raw metal material to manufacture new metal products.
Buying metal shipping containers gives you a chance to recycle or put your shipping containers into alternative use once you no longer need them. For example, building a container shop will help to curb the issue of container abandonment in some areas such as ports.
Built strong to stand the test of time
As compared to shipping containers made of other materials such as plastic, metal shipping containers are structurally built to withstand the harsh operating conditions associated with the cargo freight business. These shipping containers may be used to carry heavy loads, exposed to harsh climatic conditions, and the usual rough handling but still remain in remarkable working condition. Even the refurbished containers can stand the test of time and endure extreme weather and operating conditions over and over again.
Therefore, you will eventually realise that using metal cargo containers provide long-lasting solutions to your transportation needs.
Secures cargo well
When you ship cargo on behalf of your customers, ensuring that the cargo reaches the intended destination in good time and in good condition is very important.
Shipping containers that can easily be broken into or tampered with may result in damage to or loss of your client's property, and this will destroy the reputation of your business. Metal elements such as steel and aluminium used in the construction of the containers are structurally tough and generally deter would-be criminals from breaking in. That's what makes metal shipping containers the best choice on the market!
For more information, contact a professional container distributor, like Tasbulk Container Hire, and ask about their options for metal shipping containers.

By Scott Burris
Kathy Ward is a veteran public health worker in Nebraska. She has a neat idea, which I summarize here in mostly her words:
Public health policy needs more proponents who are knowledgeable and able to express their positions freely. The shortage of advocates presents a danger for public health in a time of anti-government attitudes, uninformed public health policies, deficit reduction efforts, and looming budget cuts to the public health programs that protect our country.
A 2008 study by the Association of Schools of Public Health indicated that 23% of the current public health work force–almost 110,000 workers–will be eligible to retire by 2012. This generation of baby boomer public health workers has a high level of expertise in public health; passion for improving the public’s health; and strong partnerships with nonprofit, government, and private health organizations. They have the credibility to be effective spokespersons for public health and to influence its partners.
Why not use these assets to build a movement of public health advocates?
• Enlist national public health organizations such as ASTHO, the Chronic Disease Directors Association, and the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs in finding and enlisting public health advocates.
• Find advocates through similar organizations at state and local levels, such as state public health associations and nonprofits such as the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association.
• Build linkages with other national associations such as AARP. Consider public health in the broader sense, including in this effort retired Medicaid professionals who can knowledgeably describe the losses that will occur to the public from cutting Medicaid programs.
• Provide training in advocacy through webinars conducted with public interest lobbyists and health associations that employ advocacy staff
Sounds like a sensible idea to me. Mobilizing a lot of effective volunteers at a low cost. What do you think?

I got online to Harbor Freight and purchased their carpet cutting blades. At the time I got them for 2 for $1.99. I ordered 20 blades and shared with my Mother. They do have stores and they can be purchased online. Different, somewhat. They have a round hole in the center of the blade. The Other name brand blades have a notched hole. They still work well. Each package comes with two blades. I was concerned if they were sharp enough for carpet would they cut up the mat and I can say they don't. Do they last longer? Well I think they are about the same as the name brand. When I get closer to using all of the ones I have I will order again.
Here is the website for the company. http://www.harborfreight.com/ In the search box type carpet blades. It will show several styles but only one round blade.
