I quoted it here out of its context. In its context it makes sense.

Upload & Sell: On
What was amazing to me-- a Zuagrosta... ok an Ami expat-- was the combination of national pride, diversity (in ethnicities, not so much age, it was a youngish crowd), and lightness. It's nice to see Germans, including recently and not so recently arrived Turks and other immigrants-- able to wave their flags proudly, enjoy their sporting victory, and bond in such a cohesive, open environment.
There were definitely Argentinian flags being waved in the crowd too. And so many different languages on offer.
Good stuff all around!

Canzano: Pac-12 + Big 12 doesn't fit... onto the ACC
Talks break down.
The Big 12 reportedly informed the Pac-12 on Monday evening that it’s not interested in merging.
A few quick thoughts…
• I’m not shocked. I felt like a Big 12 + Pac-12 merger was wishful thinking. There’s strength in numbers, sure. But ultimately this is about fit and I struggled to see how those two conferences would mesh in a way that worked for both entities.
• The Pac-12 (minus USC and UCLA) will have 12.5 million television households in its remaining markets. The Big 12 currently has only 10.2 million TV homes, but will expand to about 15 million after the additions of BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati, and Houston. Keep those numbers in mind.
• The ACC has 28.2 million households. It’s TV markets are superior to the Big 12 and its not close. Also, the ACC already has a partnership with ESPN, which covets inventory in the Pacific Time Zone.
• I’ve wondered for a while how the Big 12 might fit in a new deal between ESPN and the Pac-12. Answer: It really doesn’t.
• The Big 12 and Pac-12 university presidents and chancellors didn’t feel like a seamless fit. Those who lead the Pac-12 campuses fashion themselves academics and lined up with the Big Ten over the years because of that.
• I’ve been writing and talking about a “loose partnership” between the Pac-12 and the ACC for a couple of weeks. I still believe this is headed in that direction.
• The Big 12’s television contract isn’t up until 2025. The Pac-12’s expires in 2024, but it has opened negotiations early. Those in the industry tell me this difference shouldn’t have been a deal breaker but it’s being cited as one of the reasons.
Bob Thompson, the former president of Fox Sports Networks, told me on Monday night, “If the Big 12 TV partners agreed to open negotiations early, that could easily happen before 2024. Nothing precludes an early negotiation as long as parties agree.”
So it just sounds like a merger wasn’t a good fit.
Added Thompson: “So now we see if somebody plays ‘Let’s poach some teams.’”
• There was early speculation that the Big 12 might chase Arizona State, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. But media reports about that were shot down by my Pac-12 sources. I won’t speak for all four of those schools, but the prevailing sentiment from athletic directors within the Pac-12 is that the remaining 10 universities will stick together and ride out the current media rights negotiations together. I’ll make some calls and report back with updates.
• Phoenix’s TV market has 2.1 million households. I’ve wondered for a while if ASU might try to leverage the Pac-12 for a larger share of the next media rights deal. That said, I have a difficult time actually seeing ASU bolt for the Big 12.
• The Big 12 programs that I think the Pac-12 (and ESPN) would be most interested in are: Kansas, Baylor, TCU and Houston. If the Pac-12 goes hunting, I expect those universities to be primary targets. This is 100-percent about potential television revenue.
• I included Kansas because I think ESPN would covet men’s basketball matchups featuring the ACC’s Duke and North Carolina and the Pac-12’s Arizona and Oregon. Kansas would be an interesting addition.
• The Pac-12 is in an exclusive negotiating period with ESPN and Fox. That window expires on Aug. 4, but I’m told the parties could come to an agreement before then.
• ESPN is the likely bidder here. Think about what that network needs. It has to think about the restless members in the ACC and how it might get them some additional revenue right now. A partnership with the Pac-12 makes sense to me. Sharing revenue with the Big 12 (Read: more mouths to feed) doesn’t.
• Pac-12 Media Day is July 29 in Los Angeles. Commissioner George Kliavkoff needs something to sell to the public during that event. I expect he’ll have something of substance. I don’t think we’re going to have to wait until Aug. 4.
More as this develops…
Thank you for reading. I appreciate all who have supported, subscribed and shared my new independent endeavor with friends and family in recent months. If you haven’t already — please consider subscribing.

[Editor's note: Please join me in welcoming guest writer Paul Basinski to 10 Audio. Paul's insightful review of the Roksan turntable and tonearm provides an excellent view into its performance in context with some of the competition.]
By Paul Basinski
Roksan, the British company, has been around for over two decades. Incorporated at the dawn of the digital era, they've done quite well in the world of analog. Their Xerxes and TMS turntables are recognized as classics by lovers of vinyl. (They even have a Wikipedia entry.) The problem is: what if you want good sound for your record collection but don't have the deep pockets for rigs like these?
Comes the Radius V, Roksan's entry level 'table with their Nima arm thrown in for good measure. For well south of $two grand, Roksan has taken into account some of the 21st century's trends in vinyl playback (improved platter materials and circuit board cable to wire the arm) to produce a nice machine indeed. The Radius also uses the circular turntable design that's become typical on many models since Wilson Benesch introduced it ten years ago. This approach saves materials and creates a lovely, streamlined look, whether you purchase a unit in the more expensive acrylic or less costly lacquered wood finishes. The motor sits on a small ear that juts out from the subplatter. This design helps isolate vibration and hum from cartridges like my Grado that are sensitive to interference from motors directly under the platter, such as the ubiquitous Rega's. RCA cables are dedicated, though it's a simple matter to upgrade arms (and interconnects) to a higher level Roksan arm or another brand -- if that's your cup of tea.
But maybe you don't need that arm upgrade. The Nima, which comes packaged with the "Roksy", is a well-designed piece. It is a medium-mass unipivot tonearm of aluminum alloy with an acrylic headshell and the same internal wiring found in the $2,400 Artemiz arm. Setting up the Nima is simple, and you have the ability to tinker with azimuth, VTF and VTA, adjustments which are rare in this price range. Though the Radius V was clearly produced for a price-point, nowhere do you get the feeling that the boys from Britain skimped on this deck or arm: no street corner fish and chips here. The 'table looks the business.
On to the sound. I've been lucky to have a number of turntables in-house for extended listening during the last year or so, specifically: the VPI Scout with JMW-9 arm and the Rega P3 with their popular RB300 arm. The Scout retails for around the same change as the Roksan, and, let's not mince words, is much better constructed than the British 'table. The American VPI simply seems overbuilt - solid and strong. On the other hand, the Rega P3 sells for less than the Radius V, and - all hail analog guru and company founder Roy Gandy - is nevertheless not as substantial as the other two units. (The fantastic Rega RB300 arm aside.) That said, the Rega 'table is often considered an entry level giant-killer, so we'll stack it up against the Roksan. Build quality aside, the sound is the most important consideration and this is were things get very interesting.
Running a medium output 1.5mv (yes, John G. makes one, recently introduced) Grado Sonata - but also listening with the Dynavector 10X5 and Clearaudio Aurum Beta S wood body cartridges - I'm seriously impressed with the Roksan Radius V relative to these other vinyl spinners. First, the Roksan is organic in the best sense of the word. Music always sounds like music on this 'table: it flows naturally and gracefully. (If only digital could match this feeling of continuousness.) The Radius picks up a bass line and moves it along effortlessly without throwing it in your face, never losing the sense of pace and rhythm for which many British players are noted.
As you all know, a hallmark of good audio gear is low listener fatigue. With the "Roksy", I invariably find myself listening longer and more intently. No running to the kitchen to make a sandwich when vinyl is whirling on this unit. To my ears, the VPI is drier, more accurate. Compared to the Roksan, the American 'table has greater solidity to the images. For some people, this dimensionality passes for warmth, in the midrange in particular. But where I think the Roksan is superior is in the sheer humanness of its sound. Try Mark Knopfler's new LP, Shangri La, and play "5:15 am". The effect of this song is magnificently rendered through the Radius V in comparison to the other 'tables. The emotional connection to the music is deeper on this turntable across all genres of compositions.
Put differently, close listening between the units shows the Radius to have more soul. The VPI just doesn't draw me into the music as deeply. The Scout is a unit that impresses you while trying to please you. It makes you more aware of the hifi artifacts of record reproduction for better and for worse. (You think about the sound more than you enjoy the music at times with it). The Rega, conversely, shares many of the positive elements of its British brethren - pace and timing in particular - but has a muddier and more opaque perspective, like listening through a window and wanting to reach for the glass cleaner. (Perhaps the motor under the platter)? The Rega doesn't propel the music along with the joy the Radius does, especially with a good cartridge like the Grado. I've always admired the P3 but it's not as gripping and dynamic as the Roksan. I'd love to hear the V with an expensive moving coil and see if it would be outclassed in the company of a better cartridge. My sense is that between the Nima arm and deck, it would keep up. (Your mileage may vary).
And this all means? The Radius sounds balanced. You want detail, you get it, but in an unforced manner. In the time I've been editing this review, I've spun a Locatelli Concerto on an old Vox set; Live at Montreux from a great Windham Hill collection; and a pristine copy of Dylan's Freewheelin'on Sundazed vinyl. In all honesty, it has been difficult at times to concentrate on the task at hand. The music on this little guy just keeps tugging at the ears. The Roksan has a big sound that seems to belie its size and good but not bulletproof construction. Images are very three-dimensional and create a greater illusion of - holy cow - there's Coltrane and Armstrong! If you love your LP collection, this rig will not disappoint.
There is not much higher praise I can give it than that. With so much fantastic new and used vinyl around today, if you're thinking of taking the plunge, I can't but believe the Roksan Radius V is a perfect place to begin.

Energy duo Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are determined for a child lady! Sources just lately informed Life & Fashion that the couple of two years are going to nice lengths to have a baby collectively.
The pair beforehand thought they have been pregnant, solely to find it was a false alarm. Within the wake of that devastating information, 48-year-old Gwen and 41-year-old Blake have ramped up their efforts to conceive. Utilizing IVF, the couple elected to decide on the gender, for the reason that blonde magnificence is already mother to sons Kingston, 11, Zuma, 9, and Apollo, three. In truth, there is a sturdy probability she might be pregnant with twins ladies after implanting a couple of feminine embryo. “She may be very, very enthusiastic about getting pregnant and he or she completely needs twins,” an insider informed Life & Fashion.
Again in 2014, whereas pregnant along with her youngest son, the “Hollaback Woman” singer complained about being the one feminine in her household. “It does appear bizarre that I haven’t got a woman,” Gwen mentioned, joking that she’d share her trendy wardrobe with certainly one of Kingston’s future girlfriends.
However, if these eggs take root, that lady — whoever she could also be — is out of luck! Although he could also be tough across the edges, Blake is a complete softy at coronary heart, which is why Gwen is assured in his skill to father a daughter. “Gwen is aware of he can be very protecting of their daughter,” a distinct supply shared. “He’d need her to be [safe and secure] her complete life.”
(Picture Credit score: Splash)
Their future youngster is not the one one Blake is protecting over. As a result of Gwen’s being pregnant can be thought-about high-risk — provided that she’s in her late 40’s — the nation singer is unquestionably nervous. Even her third being pregnant was thought-about “a miracle,” based on Gwen. “Blake is aware of the toll [trying to get pregnant] has taken on her, emotionally and bodily,” the supply mentioned. “If Gwen lastly does get pregnant, she can be taking it straightforward and never touring lots.”
Though Gwen is worked up over the potential for having multiples, Blake is terrified by the concept. “He is able to be a dad, however the potential for twins or triplets is simply daunting!” the supply added.

NYC based club stalwart Cazwell announces the release of Dance Like You Got Good Credit remix CD featuring Cherie Lily.
CAZWELL – Dance Like You Got Good Credit (Cjay Swayne Video Remix)
CAZWELL feat. CHERIE LILY “Dance Like You Got Good Credit” (The Peace Bisquit Brooklyn Bounce Remix)
Watch Cazwell‘s video for the track “Dance Like You Got Good Credit” included on the album Hard 2 B Fresh available HERE. The visuals were directed by Athena Maroulis featuring Cherie Lily (Andrew W.K.’s wife) who is really pregnant in the video, with some very special guest appearances by Big Dipper and Bianca Del Rio.
From becoming a You Tube sensation after a million people viewed the ridiculously popular and oft-imitated “Ice Cream Truck” music video in a single week, to producing a steady flow of singles and videos that capture his engaging charisma, self-effacing humor and personality, Cazwell has earned credibility on and off the floor with a slew of anthemic and danceable hip hop tracks. This big ‘ol bag-o-tricks includes future hits like Latin twerk nugget,“¡Spicy!,””I Blocked Your Number,” the neo soul-laced “Cats and Dogs,” and Caz classics like “Rice & Beans,” the disco-sampled “All Over Your Face” and Courtney Love’s personal favorite “I Seen Beyoncé At Burger King.” Cazwell’s new album, “Hard 2 B Fresh” impressively showcases his hypomanic yet insightful take on pop culture. We’re proud to present to you a musical force who has been described as “what would have happened if Eminem had grown up on Madonna’s front lawn.”

Citation: Vallet, J.L., Freking, B.A., Leymaster, K.A., Christenson, R.K. 2003. A polymorphism in the pig erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene is associated with uterine capacity [abstract]. Journal of Animal Science 81(Supplement 2):61. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Selection for uterine capacity increased fetal hematocrits measured on d 105 of gestation. We hypothesized that this increase might be partially due to polymorphism(s) in the EPOR gene. The likely positions of the introns were predicted within the porcine EPOR gene by comparing the porcine EPOR cDNA to the human EPOR gene. Oligonucleotide primers based on the porcine cDNA were designed to amplify by PCR a region of the porcine EPOR gene that was likely to contain two moderately sized introns. The genomic DNA from 96 gilts from populations available at the Meat Animal Research Center (including 24 half Meishan, half white crossbred gilts, 24 gilts from lines selected either at random (CO), for ovulation rate (OR) or for uterine capacity (UC); and 48 pigs from other populations) were amplified by PCR using these primers, and the products were sequenced. The sequences were aligned and polymorphisms were identified. A genotyping assay for a C/T polymorphism in one of the introns was developed based on primer extension and mass spectrometry using Sequenom technology. This assay was used to genotype 212 gilts from the CO, OR and UC lines. The gilts had been unilaterally hysterectomized-ovariectomized, mated, and then slaughtered at 105 d of gestation. At slaughter, number of corpora lutea (CL) and litter size (a measure of uterine capacity) were recorded. Fetal and placental weights were also recorded, and a blood sample was collected from each fetus. Blood samples were measured for hematocrit and fetal plasma iron. Gilts were either homozygous CC or heterozygous CT, no TT gilts were observed. Litter size was greater (P<0.01) in CT gilts (8.3+/-0.5, n=21) compared to CC gilts (6.9+/-0.2, n=191). CL number (15.1+/-0.6,15.2+/-0.2), fetal weight (778+/-33, 800+/-11), placental weight (174+/-11, 189+/-4), fetal hematocrit (36.9+/-0.6, 36.8+/-0.2) and fetal plasma iron (1.17+/-0.05, 1.20+/-0.02) did not differ between CT and CC genotypes, respectively. These results suggest that variation within the EPOR gene or another nearby gene is associated with differences in uterine capacity, but this effect is not mediated by changes in hematocrit, placental or fetal weights, CL number or fetal plasma iron.

As a new book of his work is released, we recount ten things you might not know about the mysterious Abstract Expressionist
The forthcoming publication of Rothko, The Color Field Paintings provides a neat and comprehensive guide to 50 of Mark Rothko’s iconic canvases from the 1950s and 1960s, a survey of his ‘classic period’ from the colourful No.5/No.13 (Magenta, Black, Green on Orange) to the almost-monotone Untitled (Black on Gray).
Rothko’s iconic colour field pictures are strikingly monumental. They provoke quiet reflection and contemplation and yet embody what Rothko’s psychologist son Christopher describes in his foreword to this book, as articulating “the language of the sublime”. Rothko’s work is elemental. It possesses the beauty and horror of New York City’s concrete caverns, the vast canyonscapes of the American West and the distant lunarscapes of the Moon. In this sense, Rothko’s painting is so American. Confronting his work in the flesh very nearly requires the resolve of an early pioneer.
Each picture demands our attention, our participation, and each denies resistance. Some are peaceful, some brutal. Either way it’s easy to get lost inside these apparently flat images – and yet as Christopher Rothko reminds us, they may be “frameless paintings” but they are “not without borders”. These windowed, architectural spaces can be navigated, but navigated without map or compass. We feel our way around, seduced by Rothko’s sensitive deployment of colour and soon float within and through the canvas. According to his son, Rothko’s colour field paintings are “stage[s] for human concerns and human dialogue”, performative spaces for interactive transcendental “dramas” (as Rothko himself called them) rather than narrative monologues.
“I am interested only in expressing basic human emotions – tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on…” proclaimed Rothko. His pictures evoke death, hope, sensuality, tension, irony, fun, chance and ephemerality. Their intensity brings us – often unnervingly – to what Rothko collector and patron Dominique de Menil has described as the “threshold of the divine”. Here, we present ten little-known facts about the mysterious and seminal painter.
1. He found Yale pretentious
Mark Rothko was born Marcus Rothkowitz in 1903 to Russian-Jewish parents in present day Latvia. He and his family emigrated to America in 1913, and the adolescent Rothko would spend two years studying at Yale University which he found “pretentious” and anti-Semitic. By the start of the Second World War Rothko began altering – and slightly anglicising – his name, finally changing it formally in 1959.
2. His teachers were Arshile Gorky and Max Weber
With an education well-grounded in the coordinates of European Modernism – Expressionism, Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism – Rothko’s early artistic influences were relatively diverse. He was taught by the enigmatic Armenian-American artist Arshile Gorky and the French-American artist Max Weber. Weber in particular provided a rich seam of Parisian inspiration for Rothko, building the artistic foundations that allowed the young painter’s reimagining of a new – and specifically American – form of modern expression.
3. Rothko was deeply affected by Michelangelo
In 1950 Rothko returned to Europe for the first time and spent five months familiarising himself with Renaissance art. The architectural spaces of Renaissance Florence deeply affected him and in particular Michelangelo’s 16th century vestibule to the Laurentian Library. The influence of its oppressive shape, elongated blind-windows, hauntingly empty niches and grey-green Pietra Serena sandstone can clearly be felt in many of his pictures. Like Michelangelo’s architectural caprice, Rothko’s colour field works offer something transcendental to be wrestled with.
4. ... And by psychoanalysis
Like many avant-gardists of his generation, Rothko was fascinated by the mystical work of psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. In search of new themes, by reading the essays of Jung and Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, Rothko sought to explore the dramatic potential of myth. His early work in particular found creative inspiration in archaic symbolism, dreams, ancient myths, esoteric theology and the collective unconscious.
5. He was a student of Nietzsche
As a student of 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, Rothko embraced the concept of the Übermensch – the defiant artist who beats his own path to heroic status. Painting for Rothko became a ritualised retreat from the perceived spiritual void. And like Nietzsche, Rothko felt that what he called “tragic art” could release humanity’s unconscious potential and give meaning to life in the modern secularised world.
6. Rothko was a teacher himself before he found fame
Before fame and success, Rothko took several odd-jobs to pay the rent and soon became an inspiring art teacher at both Brooklyn College in New York City and the San Francisco Art Institute. During what must often have felt like a drain on his time and creative energies, Rothko proved himself an inspiring influence on his students – even if he did loathe the Pop Art so many of them later favoured.
7. His abstract titles were chosen to prove a point
Loosely lumped together by critics with the Abstract Expressionists, Rothko felt strongly that his paintings needed to “speak” for themselves. His resistance to explaining his work extended to a distaste for titles. For galleries and their sales catalogues, titles were somewhat non-negotiable. But for Rothko, abstract pictures need only “abstract” titles – so by the late 1940s he was simply labelling his work ‘Untitled’ or using numbers with as few descriptive words as possible.
8. Rothko was incredibly anxious when it came to his work
Rothko was always an anxious and often depressed person. He had a fear of showing or exposing work to dealers and the public, and he could feel younger Pop Artists ready to supersede him. Rothko’s state of mind is perhaps understandable. After all, it was impossible for him to ignore his immigrant status and Jewish ancestry during a lifetime that witnessed the horrors of Fascism, the Nazi Holocaust, the Atomic bomb and the Cold War.
9. The elite was of no interest to him
A left-winger who always joked about his “peasant” origins, Rothko became a resistant poster-boy for American capitalism, his work iconic of the age and culture. In 1958 he was commissioned to produce a series of pictures for the Four Seasons Restaurant in Mies van der Rohe’s new Seagram building in New York City. Realising how “pretentious” the place was he returned the cash and gave his work to the Tate gallery in London. Rothko remained popular in elite circles and was even invited to John F. Kennedy’s presidential inauguration ball in 1961 (if seated in a somewhat unlikely alliance beside the new president’s shady father Joe Kennedy).
10. As with his work, his death arrived unexplained
At the age of 66 Rothko was found in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor of his apartment in New York City. His body was full of anti-depressants and he had sliced his right arm with a razor. His suicide came less than two months after the separation of he and his second wife. Clearly, Rothko was severely depressed. But his family have always felt the absence of a parting letter to be out of character. Resistant to explaining his work, Rothko refused to explain his death.
Rothko, The Colour Field Paintings is available now, published by Chronicle Books.

We are just over a quarter of the way through the year and I have read 15 books which I am pretty happy about. According to Goodreads.com, I am one book ahead of schedule and I have read a fair variety of books including these two which have become new favourites:
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
I set an assignment for my A Level class to read a dystopian fiction novel and thought I really ought to read a couple myself (on the list I gave them, I had read quite a few but I am determined to get through as many of them as possible. I started with this particular one because I had been teaching students to analyse language using the first paragraph of the novel. It’s a masterclass in hooking the reader (it certainly worked on me and at least one of my students who also went out and bought a copy after my lesson).
The whole novel blew me away and I want to read it again already. It is gripping and feels scarily prophetic as it takes us through a dystopian world where books are banned and burned when found. It is my own personal nightmare! It is beautifully written and I raced through it. I will be seeking out more of his work, starting with his collection of short stories I sing the Body Electric as this has been recommended to me by my lovely friend Jessica.
First, though, I am going to start The Power by Naomi Alderman which is already on my bedside table.
That list of dystopian novels if you are interested (those in bold are ones I have read):
- The Power by Naomi Alderman
- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
- A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess [seen the film, not sure I can stomach the book]
- The Girl with all the Gifts by M. R. Carey
- The Boy on the Bridge by M. R. Carey
- Fatherland by Robert Harris
- Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
- The Road by Cormac McCarthy
- The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking trilogy) by Patrick Ness
- More Than This by Patrick Ness
- The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
- 1984 by George Orwell
- Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
- Brave New World by H. G. Wells
- The Sleeper Awakes by H. G. Wells
- The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
- Uglies by Scott Westerfield
- The Chrysalids by John Wyndham
Anything is Possible by Elizabeth Strout
I hadn’t realised when I started that this book was a kind of sequel to My Name is Lucy Barton but when I did a little reading around online, it seemed that it didn’t really matter if you read it without having read My Name is Lucy Barton first and I was already so hooked, I was only too pleased to forge on. Lucy Barton is a writer who now lives in New York who grew up in extreme poverty. Anything is Possible is a series of vignettes which tell the stories of a host of connected characters from her hometown and beyond.
The writing is sharp, economic, profound and beautiful. Strout captures these characters so precisely and carefully that it is incredibly hard to believe they aren’t living, breathing people out there in the real world. Again, I gorge on this book and read it relatively quickly (by my usual standards) and I have My Name is Lucy Barton ready to read. I can’t wait.

Here are a few pics from the tour:
Originally we were supposed to meet the soldiers who work with the dogs, but they were called away through the night before. So we went around various parts of the base and saw this statue.
I just thought this pic was cool. We were on our way to watch how some of the Air Force special forces trained. The special forces we met were like the police for the base, which I didn't know.
This is an example of a vehicle used by medics.
This is one of the mannequins involved in training medics. In here they learn to put all the information from their brains to practical use.

The Hindu reports Pyongyang says no to denuclearisation
North Korea said on Saturday that it would never agree to talks on denuclearisation, but would be open to negotiations for arms reduction.Right, their motives are so pure you can see right through them.
Pyongyang said it will not give up its nuclear programme until the entire world is denuclearised, according to the North’s main newspaper Rodong Sinmun.
“There may be talks between us and the United States for the sake of arms reduction, but there will never be talks for denuclearisation,” it said.
“Our position is clear. Never dream of denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula before denuclearisation of the world is realised.”
As I asked here, why would the laughably named Democratic People's Republic of Korea give up the one thing that makes them "special" instead of another failed state dictatorship sinking into mass starvation?
Now we know.
They'll give up nukes for "whirled peas." Really.

Surrounded in complete darkness, Black looks up and sees Landorus, Thundurus and Tornadus towering over him. The three genies combine their powers, and unleash an energy blast towards him. Black cries out in horror as the ground is shattered beneath him, and begins to tumble downwards out of control.
At that moment, Black snaps his eyes open, and realizes that it was just a dream. He pants to catch his breath, and wipes a sweat off his cheek, relieved that he wasn't actually chased by the genies. Musha clamps its mouth on the boy's head, and tries its best to eat up the nightmare that he has been having, while Tula works to tighten the sleeping net that it has built for its trainer with its silk. Black believes that his possible ineligibility to take part in the League has left him shocked and unsettled, which gave him nightmares and made him dream of the three legendary Pokemon of Unova, the cyclone Pokemon Tornadus, bolt strike Pokemon Thundurus, and abundance Pokemon Landorus.
His mind drifts off to his president, White, whom he has actually not contacted since they parted ways, and wonders how she is doing now. Just as Black is having the thought, White, who is still back on the Battle Subway, takes a sneeze and startles her Deerling, Jessica. Ingo hopes she hasn't caught a cold from the chilly weather in the recent few days, and Emmet is more concerned whether she is going to pass it to them. White laughs that someone probably just talked about her, and the two Subway Bosses don't know how to respond to that. They then tell White to continue with her training before they reach their destination, and believe that it will further help develop her battling skills. Ingo remarks that she has certainly become a worthy component of theirs, and Emmet cheers that they should try to have a double battle.
Back on Black's side, he hesitates as he presses White's number of the Xtransceiver, but eventually decides to forget it. He believes that the girl must be working hard on the Battle Subway, and thinks he will simply worry her if he tells her about what happened. Nevertheless, in order to convince Drayden to let him take part in the League with only 7 Badges, he will need to obtain a Pokemon of remarkable strength. He recalls having actually encountered one of the legendary Pokemon Brycen mentioned, and flips out his Pokedex to check on it.
Just then, someone peeks over his shoulder at his Pokedex, asking what the Pokemon is, and Black replies that it is called Virizion. The person further questions where he saw it, and Black responds that the creature normally resides at the Rumination Field of the Pinwheel Forest. In that instant, he realizes that he has company, and bolts up to his feet. He turns around to see that it is Iris, and demands to know how she appeared. Iris is annoyed that Black sounded as if she is some kind of wild Pokemon, and says he should be grateful that she came looking for him out of her concern of his safety after he dashed off from the Icirrus Gym in the thick snow.
Black isn't really interested to mingle with the girl further, and excuses himself, muttering how fussy and pesky she is. Iris fumes that his attitude is really infuriating, and grunts that she will not share with him the great information which she brought with her in that case. The girl makes a face at him, and turns to leave with Fraxure, and naturally, Black is intrigued by her words, and starts going after Iris instead. He wants to know if she really has some great information to share, but the girl plays hard to get, and Black has to butter up and apologize for his impoliteness to get her to talk.
Iris leads him to the east side of the Route 6, and tells him that across the river is a place called the Mistralton Cave where a legendary Pokemon is said to reside. Black is curious as to where Iris got the information, and Iris states that she heard it from a weird man. As soon as she says that, she feels that she has worded that poorly, and corrects herself that it is actually a brilliant professor who told her, but when she turns around, she discovers that Black has already dashed off.
A while later, Black makes it across the river, and sees the dark entrance to the Mistralton Cave. Although he has chosen to believe Iris, he wonders if there is really a legendary Pokemon inside. At that moment, he hears someone shouting, and looks over to see that a finely dressed woman is yelling at a girl who wears a ponytail at the back of her head. Apparently, the woman is crossed that the girl is having hesitation, and hollers that it is absurd to turn back now that they have come so far. The woman sends out a Heatmor, and says she shall go in alone if the girl is reluctant to. With that, she steps into the dark opening of the Mistralton Cave, while the girl calls after her with a worried tone.
Black walks up to the girl to ask what is going on, and his sudden appearance startles the girl. Black apologizes for intruding, and after introducing himself, explains that he has overheard their conversation. The girl introduces herself as Shoko, and says people usually call her Shoko of the Patrat Show. Black puts on a confused look as he has never heard of the Patrat Show, and Shoko decides to show him. She sends out four Patrats from their Pokeballs, and gives one of them a Big Mushroom. She then takes out a music player to play a tune, and the four Patrats begin dancing and switching positions repeatedly with one other. When the music stops, the Patrats all strike the same pose, and Shoko wants Black to point out which Patrat is holding the Big Mushroom. Unfortunately, Black is made extremely dizzy by the act, and is having trouble talking right now, which causes to Shoko worry.
Soon, Black gets better, and Shoko explains that if someone manage to answer correctly, she will give off the Big Mushroom as a reward. Normally, she plays this act on the Marvelous Bridge, but she has been dragged here by the princess today. Black bolts at the word 'princess', and realizes that she is talking about the woman who just went into the Mistralton Cave. He wants to know if she is really the princess of some country, but Shoko reveals that it is actually just a nickname. She states that the woman is born from a wealthy capitalist family, whose social status makes her behave like a princess, but the two of them are also friends, which is she was asked to come along.
At that moment, a terrifying scream is heard from inside the cave, and Black exclaims that it is the voice of the princess. Shoko puts on a frightened and worried look, and says she has already warned the princess not to go in. Black believes that such a scream means the woman has encountered something really bad, and offers to help Shoko rescue her friend.
The two hurry into the darkness of the Mistralton Cave, and after navigating through winding pathways, arrive at its innermost part where they see two mighty four-legged creatures towering over them on a small cliff. Black recognizes the green antelope-like one as Virizion, and Shoko states that the brown bull-like one is its legendary companion, Terrakion. Black can see that Iris is telling the truth after all, and Shoko points out that there should be a third one, the one who is the normal resident of this Guidance Chamber.
Black believes that their top priority is to rescue the princess first, and sends out his Emboar, Bo. He thinks that it will be a good thing if he could capture these two legendary Pokemon and make them his companions, and orders Bo to use Flamethrower. However, to his shock, Virizion swings its head forward, and creates an aerial slash to cut through the flames. It then leaps off the cliff to charge towards them, and Black warns Bo to stay cautious as Virizion's horns are sharp like blades, which could cut through things around it like razor, and its agility is top-class among all Pokemon.
The green antelope unleashes a swirl of leaves as it approaches, and although Bo manages to pull Black out of the way, some of the leaves still sliced at the boy's trousers, cutting into his skin. Black winces that it is Magical Leaf, and rationalizes that Virizion must be a grass type, which means Bo's fire attacks have an advantage. With that, Bo envelops its two fists in flames, and starts chasing after Virizion with physical punches. Virizion adeptly hops from wall to wall inside cave, but Bo eventually manages to catch up with it. Just as the Emboar is about to land a punch, something cuts in to take the hit, and Black gasps that Terrakion has shielded itself in front of Virizion.
The boy grunts that the two Pokemon are working in perfect combination, and watches as Virizion retreats to the back, picking up the princess who has temporarily passed out. Terrakion then kicks back against the floor, and propels itself forward for a charge. Bo narrowly jumps out of the way, which causes Terrakion to ram into the cave's side wall, breaking a big hole right through it. Black exclaims at the brown bull's strength, and Shoko states that Terrakion has the top-class power charges among all Pokemon. Black is astonished that Shoko knows so much about the legendary Pokemon, and the girl explains that she has looked up on their information in detail since the princess wanted to capture them.
At that moment, the woman regains consciousness, and begins to flail around when she realizes that Virizion has held her captive. The green antelope hurls her down to the ground, and in the next instant, both Shoko and Black gasp that Virizion and Terrakion are about to attack her simultaneously with a Leaf Blade and Stone Edge. Fortunately, before the attacks land, Bo leaps forward and shields the woman from the blasts, taking the hits itself. Black thanks Bo for the sacrificial act, and Shoko hurriedly checks on the woman. She cries that she already said it was a ridiculous idea trying to capture legendary Pokemon, and doesn't understand why one must abandon their comfortable life and come looking for danger. However, the woman tells her to shut up, and states that the reason is adventure and romance.
She points out that as a member of the wealthy Riches family, she could always get what she wanted ,but adventure and romance are things that could not be bought or bargained. She believes that she could only discover true worth when she could create a path with her own strength to find what she is looking for. Shoko argues that there are many ways to create one's own path, and the woman barks that a cowardly and flustered girl like her will not understand the value of adventure of romance. She challenges what fun there is to perform the Patrat Show day after day on the Marvelous Bridge, and states that one must get out of their comfort zone to see the wide big world outside.
Shoko says she isn't afraid to be looked down on, but is certainly afraid of the horrible things out there. The woman is upset that Shoko still doesn't understand, and says they will not be young forever. She declares that she is sick of living a stable and uneventful life, and is determined to stand up and achieve something remarkable. She gets her Heatmor ready, and announces that she, Trish of the Riches, will show the world how she lives out both adventure and romance.
Meanwhile, on Route 6, Iris continues on her journey with Fraxure, and suddenly hears her name called. She turns around to see that it is the brilliant professor again, and the man, who is Cedric Juniper, the father of Professor Aria Juniper, grins that she should start remembering people's proper names. Iris states that she has told her friend Black about the Mistralton Cave, and Cedric is surprised to hear that Black is a friend of hers. He wants to know where he is now, and Iris replies that the boy has gone off to the cave because he wanted to battle the legendary Pokemon inside.
Cedric is slightly worried to hear that, and Iris wonder why. The man explains that apart from being powerful legendary Pokemon, Virizion, Terrakion ad Cobalion do not trust humans at all, and will definitely not hold back during a battle. Iris is curious to as why they have no trust in humans, and Cedric states that long ago, the three fought against humans in a great war.
Back inside the Mistralton Cave, Trish lights up two fire torches with the flames of her Heatmor, and states that her strategy is to target Virizion first, who is extremely quick but weak to fire attacks. She believes that it will be wise to break up the opponents and avoid them from collaborating with each other, especially before the third Pokemon appears, and puts on a determined look.
Standing on a ledge behind her, another four-legged creature watches in silence, and keeps its hostile gaze on the humans…Thanks To Coronis For Writing this for us

HAMURG, Germany -- Mobile County District 3 Commissioner Jerry Carl has shared a few images from a trip to the Airbus A320 family assembly plant on Monday morning, March 18. He and several officials from Mobile and the state of Alabama were invited to tour the facility by Airbus management during a 4-day trip.
In the photos, the 3 county commissioners and Mayor Sam Jones are seen holding a miniature of an A320 -- like the ones which will be assembled at the Brookley Aeroplex in Mobile -- with Gunnar Gross, Airbus Germany's general secretary and head of political affairs. In an email to the Press-Register, Carl called the miniature "the first Airbus 320 delivered to (the) County Commission."
According to the official program itinerary, the American officials have a full day planned on Monday. Their tour includes site inspections of the A320 family structural assembly, systems and equipment installation, final assembly line, major component assembly and cabin furnishing. The day finishes with dinner at the restaurant Parliament, according to the itinerary.
On Tuesday, the group will visit the Airbus Training Centre in Hamburg.

Danny Burnell opened the scoring on 50 minutes after a horrible mistake from Bluebirds keeper Chris Snoddy, but this was quickly cancelled out by Lewis Powell's header for the Wiltshire side.
Chippenham handed a debut to right winger Daryl Taylor, who appeared for Walsall against Slough in the Rebels’ famous FA Cup victory in 2004, and he went close to opening the scoring for the Bluebirds, but his effort was deflected over the bar as Chris Seeby blocked just in time.
Slough responded well and Stuart Swift forced a simple low save from Snoddy, before Sean Sonner rose majestically to meet a Steve Sinclair cross, but headed wide.
As the rain started to fall midway through the half, Chippenham started to win the midfield battle, and Gullick volleyed well wide under pressure from Murphy. Lewis Powell then turned and stung Ricky Perks’ hands with a fierce drive from the edge of the box.
Powell forced another good save from Perks, who held the slippery ball well. Slough burst down the other end of the park and as Sonner brought the ball inside, cries for handball against a prone defender fell on deaf ears. As play continued, Danny Burnell had a header tipped over by the tall Snoddy.
Slough went closest to a goal moments before half time as Swift’s free kick was tipped wide by Snoddy at full stretch.
But five minutes into the second half, Slough were gifted the lead after a horrible moment for Chris Snoddy. The keeper missed the ball completely as he attempted a routine clearance from a backpass, and Danny Burnell was on hand to take advantage, taking a touch before rolling the ball past Snoddy.
However, this lead lasted barely four minutes as Adie Mings’ side recovered and levelled the scores. A good team move saw Ashley Edenborough, a half time substitute for the injured Taylor, find Sam Allison on the right wing with a superb ball. Allison crossed to the unmarked Lewis Powell in the six yard box, who headed home past the helpless Perks.
For the remainder of the game, Slough appeared the more likely of the two sides to go on and take the tie, and Steve Sinclair went agonisingly close when put through on goal, but Snoddy got a foot to the winger’s effort, and the ball rebounded off the post and into the keeper’s grateful arms.
Swift thundered a free kick a couple of feet wide of Snoddy’s goal before Edenborough shot just past the post after a mistake in the Slough defence.
But Burnell went close twice more without testing Snoddy, first putting an audacious overhead effort wide before firing wide after Sonner capitalised on a terrible Allison throw.
The draw sets up an intriguing replay at Hardenhuish Park on Tuesday evening against a Chippenham side suffering a chronic injury crisis, with injuries to Nathan Rudge and Daryl Taylor limiting Adie Mings’ options further.
Chippenham Town Line up
Snoddy, Martin, Tindle, Williams (c), Casey, Rudge (Halliday), Taylor (Edenborough), Gullick, Powell, Harvey, Allison. Subs not used: Lye, Kite.

After a long summer and several delays, the Public Utility Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is scheduled to begin hearing FirstEnergy’s plea for subsidies today. Over the past few months, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and other stakeholders have hit the streets, airways, and internet to explain the company’s proposal. Thankfully for you, we’ve summarized the high-points of all this analysis in an easy-to-read outline. Here are the basics:
What is First Energy requesting?
- FirstEnergy is asking PUCO to approve non-competitive purchase agreements that would enable the utility’s distributors to buy power at above-market prices from FirstEnergy’s subsidiary power plants. August 31 marks the beginning of testimony and cross examination of FirstEnergy executives, as well as diverse stakeholders, including EDF. This process may take up to seven weeks.
- FirstEnergy is seeking subsidies for the 52-year-old Sammis coal-fired plant; two 60-year-old coal-fired power plants (Kyger Creek in Cheshire, Ohio, and Clifty Creek in Madison, Indiana); the Davis-Bessie nuclear plant, which is two years from the expiration of its 40-year license; and for the utility’s share of the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation. The subsidies essentially shift the financial risk of these older and more expensive generators from FirstEnergy’s shareholders to its customers, who would fund the proposal through fees and higher rates.
What’s the cost?
- FirstEnergy claims the purchase agreements would save Ohioans $2 billion over the course of 15 years. The independent Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, however, estimates the proposal will cost customers $3 billion.
FirstEnergy’s scare tactics
- FirstEnergy argues that these older power plants – and the money it is requesting to keep them running – are needed to avoid blackouts, brownouts, and higher customer electricity bills. Such claims are not unusual in the energy business. A regulator accusing an energy company of scaring the public, however, is That happened last week, when the PUCO chairman Andre Porter told Columbus Business First’s Tom Knox that utilities like FirstEnergy should “stop trying to scare Ohioans.”
FirstEnergy’s bad bets
- FirstEnergy needs the money because it doubled-down on coal investments that went south due to low natural gas prices and substantial gains in energy efficiency. Critics wonder why the utility should be subsidized for bad business decisions. Corporate gambles strike at the heart of capitalism; however, public underwriting of those gambles does not.
A return to monopoly control
- Speaking of capitalism, FirstEnergy appears to be hedging its bets. Perhaps sensing it will not win before the PUCO, FirstEnergy is beginning to discuss the possibility of the Ohio legislature overturning deregulation and returning the company to a monopoly with guaranteed profits. FirstEnergy strongly supported deregulation when it thought it could compete in competitive power markets. This is a fairly dramatic flip-flop, and it’s unlikely conservative Ohio legislators will embrace a shift that runs counter to their free-market and pro-competition principles.
- FirstEnergy doesn’t like competition. The company has been particularly concerned about demand response, an effective energy conservation tool that pays customers to reduce electricity use during times of peak demand when prices and pollution are high. This low-cost, zero-carbon energy resource saved customers in the mid-Atlantic region $11.8 billion in 2013, but FirstEnergy sees demand response as undercutting its old and inefficient power plants. The utility has filed appeals to restrict demand response, and the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the case in early October.
- To further stifle competition, last year FirstEnergy led the effort to make Ohio the first state to gut its clean energy and efficiency standards. In filings to PUCO, the utility admitted the initiatives saved families millions.
A two-for-one deal without the savings
- Adding insult to injury, FirstEnergy’s bailout appeal includes a provision that would force customers who choose to buy clean energy to also purchase FirstEnergy’s coal energy, unnecessarily paying twice for power.
- FirstEnergy’s behavior shows how much electricity politics have changed. Having argued against favorable policies for renewable energy, FirstEnergy is now asking for public policy that will effectively put coal and nuclear energy ahead. Conservationists are pushing for competition, while utilities are talking about re-regulation and monopolies. Proven and cost-effective energy solutions like clean energy, efficiency, and demand response can compete in a real market – free from customer-funded bailouts.
Utilities across the country are embracing energy innovation in the form of wind, solar, demand response, grid modernization, and efficiency. FirstEnergy, however, has become the poster child for last century’s utility business model: generate and sell as much dirty energy as you can.
No one can be sure how the FirstEnergy bailout saga will play out, but it’s likely to have repercussions throughout the industry. If PUCO denies FirstEnergy’s proposal, it could send a warning to other old-school utilities that choose to follow FirstEnergy’s path.
This is one in a series of posts that examine FirstEnergy’s proposed bailout for its aging coal fleet and other market manipulations. Stay up to date on FirstEnergy by visiting EDF’s website, where we’ve published helpful resources and will host a series of newsletters.

The world comes to Big Lake
Thu, 12/05/2013 - 11:00pm admin
Most of the students in the Big Lake School District were born in or around the area but recently there are more and more students from other places attending school in Big Lake.
Teachers and principals recognize their students are coming from more diverse backgrounds. At Liberty Elementary School, they recently celebrated Multic Cultural Night.
Those attending found a number of activities set up in the hallway, including a hand art project supervised by Mrs. Hagberg, a world map, marked with stickers showing the different places all the visitors had been too, organized by Mrs. Jelen, and an origami art project demonstrated by Mrs. Nygaard.

Excellent service and staff really know their products. Certainly better staff than at Spur who don't even greet you.
Well I went to the restaurant to get a takeaway while waiting for my order decided to have a drink, I really enjoyed the service by my waiter Onke, he was so friendly. The fact that am also in the same industry I know what good service is thumbs up for Onke and the food was also lekker
We always enjoy as a family after church on a Sunday.
The best as always and the best staff
Best pizza’s and friendly staff and very close to home
Friendly service and great tasting pizza’s!! You can never go wrong. Ordered the duo large pizza with the 2 saucy supreme’s (Saucy Chicken & Bacon supreme and the Saucy Meat supreme).
WowI can not remember when last before now I was at any branch of Panarottis. With so many choices of pizza restaurants I have to be honest I completely forgot about them and maybe also because I am not a fan of eating in malls where they normally are nore of franchise restaurants. Needing to attend to some chores in Bayside shopping centre over lunch time it was pretty obvious that we were going to need food and with nothing else really appealing to us we ended here for a quick in and out meal. We opted to share a large Mediterranean pizza. It was simply delicious. The basil pesto just made it but I am also probably the biggest basil pesto fan ever and can never get enough of it! Everything about the pizza was fresh and tasty. The service was friendly and quick and I need to apologise for not supporting this franchise restuarant more.
Had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and had an awesome waiter. His name was Victor. We didn't have to wait long for the pizzas on a "buy one get one free" night when the place was packed.

- Up to $250 billion in healthcare spending could be digitized, according to a new brief from consultancy McKinsey & Company. That's roughly 20% of all estimated Medicare, Medicaid and commercial outpatient, office and home health spending for 2020.
- McKinsey's claims-based analysis suggests 20% of emergency room visits could be avoided via virtual urgent care, 24% of office visits and outpatient volume could be done virtually and another 9% could be done "near-virtually." Up to 35% of home health services could be virtualized and 2% of all outpatient volume could be shifted to the home with tech-enabled medication administration.
- Some analysts expect telehealth use to flag in the second half of 2020 if the coronavirus loses steam. But McKinsey researchers think these dynamics will persist for the next 12 to 18 months at least, until a vaccine is widely available, giving telehealth ample time to become normalized in the healthcare delivery system.
Prior to the pandemic, the sum annual revenues of U.S. telehealth companies were estimated at $3 billion, with most vendors focused in the on-demand urgent care segment. But as awareness and adoption continue to increase, vendors have an opportunity to extend their services beyond bulk virtual urgent care.
That $3 billion market could swell to $250 billion if trends persist.
"The window to act is now. The current crisis has demonstrated the relevance of telehealth and created an opening to modernize the care delivery system," McKinsey associate partner Oleg Bestsennyy and McKinsey partners Greg Gilbert, Alex Harris and Jennifer Rost wrote. "The seeds for success will be sown in the next few months during the COVID-19 crisis."
The pandemic has caused use of virtual care to accelerate exponentially from 11% of Americans in 2019 to 46% now, according to McKinsey data. And 76% of consumers reporting they're interested in using telehealth moving forward, boding well for long-term adoption, though a gap remains between hypothetical interest and actual use.
Health systems, independent primary care physicians, hospitals and more are reporting telehealth visits have multiplied 50 to 175 times from pre-pandemic levels. Telehealth vendors and providers have hustled to build out their IT infrastructure and virtual care offerings in response.
Virtual care allows doctors to recoup revenue lost from in-person visits, while protecting patients from potential disease spread. About 57% of providers view telehealth more favorably now than pre-COVID-19, and 64% are more comfortable using it, according to a McKinsey physician survey conducted in May.
The Trump administration has lowered several barriers to virtual care use since early March, approving more than 80 new telehealth services in Medicare on a temporary basis, raising payments for audio-only visits and allowing Medicare Advantage plans to conduct risk assessments digitally, among other new flexibilities.
The changes led to an unprecedented number of seniors using telehealth in the early days of the pandemic.
CMS Administrator Seema Verma has said her agency is looking into which of these flexibilities, if any, will remain after the national emergency is lifted.
Permanently removing the barriers to telehealth is a popular move: Along with lobbying from a wide swath of the private sector, it has supporters in Congress and the executive branch, too.
The Federal Trade Commission said it supports making Medicare coverage of telehealth permanent in a letter to CMS on Friday.

A lot of focus has been but on the Oculus Rift when it comes to virtual reality technology but the visual aspect is only one element of the VR experience. Also in the midst of development is the Virtuix Omni treadmill. This product designed to take you walking and running movements in real life and convert that to keyboard controls for any game. This cool piece of technology takes virtual reality and adds cool physical fitness activity while running across virtual worlds like Skyrim.
The treadmill uses specially designed slotted shoes which connect to one of many slots on the treadmill. This process then registers the movement to work with any game. This dream came alive after an extremely successful kickstarter campaign that launched it into full development. Although the community saw this as an awesome product the investors of the show Shark Tank did not see the project worth investing in.
Regardless, the Omni Treadmill is a fantastic looking piece of hardware and one that should be closely monitored. It is expected to be release Q4 of 2015

Keeping your iPhone, Blackberry, or other mobile device is very important. Most of the time, there is sensitive personal and/or business information on them that needs to be kept safe. It’s up to you to take the necessary steps to secure it. It requires active participation on your part.
The first step is to make sure you maintain physical control of the device. Treat it like a credit card, storing it securely when you aren’t using it. Besides the cost of the device itself, the loss or theft of a mobile device places the confidentiality of the device’s contents at risk, as well as the contents of resources the device can access, such as your email accounts, networks, and more.
Second, enable user authentication, such as requiring a pin or password before the device can be used. While not foolproof, this is the first barrier to unauthorized access to your device. Follow basic password policy, such as not using the same password or pin you use on other devices or networks. Turn on the time-out feature if the device offers it so it will auto-lock and require a password after a certain amount of time.
Third, make sure you are backing up your device regularly. Using a mobile device as the sole repository for important information is an invitation for disaster. Not only can the device be lost or stolen, but it can also be damaged. Makes ure you make backups of everything on the device regularly so it can be restored in the event your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Next, be careful about what you install on your device. Weigh the risks and decide if you really need a certain app before installing every cool thing that comes along just to ‘give it a try’. I’m sure you have seen on the news that even vetted applications such as those found in ‘app stores’ offered by manufactures can be risky. Media may seem harmless, but it should be treated cautiously, since it can be a means to launch malware. For example, Windows Mobile devices are able to detect when a storage card is inserted and to automatically load and execute an application from it, similar to the way the autorun feature in Windows desktop systems works. Social engineering is one way that users are induced into taking such actions or into allowing someone else to take them on their devices. Because of its effectiveness, forensic tools have been developed to exploit the autorun feature to recover data from handheld devices. Software download from sites that seem suspicious or are not known should also be avoided. Never install anything whose origin is unknown or suspect. Ideally, only programs that are from reputable manufacturers and have verified digital signatures should be installed, and even then, with caution.
Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared, and other wireless interfaces until they are needed. This is particularly important for Bluetooth devices due to the increased risk of encountering mobile malware in crowded settings, such as an airport, sports event, or concert, which offer a target-rich environment for an attack. Being invisible prevents the device from being scanned and located, and its wireless interface used as an avenue of attack. Disabling a wireless interface also has the benefit of extending the battery life of the device. The Bluetooth wireless interface should be set in discoverable mode only temporarily, until pairing with another device is completed.
If your device is lost or stolen, disabling service, locking it, or completely erasing its contents are actions to take. Contact your cellular carrier to report a lost or stolen cell phone and discontinue service immediately. If it’s stolen, report it to the police and get a copy of the report, as you will need the police report to have any unauthorized charges waived by your provider.

Vol. LXII, No. 12
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
People in the 1700s believed in “vapors”; in the 1800s poor hygiene was recognized as a source of disease. The late 1800s saw the germ theory take hold, and mass immunizations followed the Federal government interventions that characterized public health in the mid-1900s. What now? According to Dr. Joan Beckwith in a recent “Science on Saturday” talk at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, the face of public health in the 21st century is population-based healthcare, a system that focuses on promoting health and preventing disease before it happens.
Casting the wide net required by this effort, she said, requires the collaboration of many individuals and agencies, such as the Center for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. She cited the successful interaction of three “core functions: assessment, policy development, and assurance” as essential to promoting population-based healthcare.
Dr. Beckwith, who is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Medicine at Temple University, and a Clinical Director in the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, described the first core function, “assessment,” as “syndromic surveillance,” or data-collecting by epidemiologists who observe factors affecting the health and illness of populations.
When particular trends are identified, scientists, community leaders, social workers, and physicians develop policy, the second step, by prioritizing data and suggesting an “action plan” that might include issuing public alerts and warnings, and sponsoring laws that will help preclude epidemics or even pandemics .
The third piece of population-based healthcare, “assurance,” consists of the implementation of policies, using outreach programs, immunizations, staff education, and “guarantees of service.” Assurance, Dr. Beckwith said, “is not based on one-on-one encounters,” but usually involves multi-media use to “spread the word” on radio, television, mailings, using celebrity endorsements, and the like.
A real-life example of population-based healthcare at work is the “Healthy People 2010” initiative adopted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2000. Pointing to a screen listing the 28 “focus areas” of this program, Dr. Beckwith emphasized just “how expansive” the range of public health concerns is, including arthritis, cancer, HIV/AIDS, medical product safety, nutrition and weight, oral health, vision and hearing. She noted, perhaps for the benefit of the many young people in the audience, the “inherent multi-disciplinarity” of the field, saying that “no matter what your major, it can have a public health component.”
Efforts at “primary prevention,” or intervening before there’s a health problem (e.g., encouraging people to exercise and eat right before diabetes and other obesity-related diseases set in) may be stymied in the future, Dr. Beckwith said, by the overuse or incorrect use of antibiotics, the resurgence of pathogens, possibly due to laxity in implementation practices, and the rise of new pathogens, possibly as a result of changes in the environment. She cited biologist E.O. Wilson, author of The Diversity of Life, as a champion of concern for global welfare.
National Public Health Week
The focus of this year’s National Public Health Week, from April 7 13, is “Climate Change: Our Health in the Balance.” The American Public Health Association notes that “there is a direct connection between climate change and the health of our nation today.” For more on National Public Health Week go to www.nphw.org.
To learn more about “Health People 2010” go to www.healthypeople.gov/.
Dr. Beckwith’s talk was the last in a series of nine presented by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Other presentations this spring include Professor Janna Levin of Barnard College asking “Is the Universe Infinite”; Professor Jim Stone’s talk, “From Accreting Black Holes to Merging Galaxies,” and Professor Bernard Brooks of Rochester Institute of Technology speaking about “Spreading Rumors on Facebook.” Earlier talks are being made available online and can be viewed using “Real Player” (download from www.real.com).

We connect our clients with Hixson debt consolidation advisors whose mission is to:
- Lower their payments
- Minimize their APR rates
- Minimize debt collector calls
Consolidation may mean two differing forms of consolidating debt: debt management plans and debt consolidation loans.
A debt consolidation consultant can help you decide which solution is right for you.
Want to pay back what you owe more quickly, with less expensive annual percentage rates and fees? Then you might want to take part in a debt management plan.
Debt management plans, often associated with a credit counseling firm, allow you to repay all the money you owe with just one monthly payment, as well as lower rates of interest, payments, and penalties. Typically your creditor starts giving you these benefits following 3 months of on time payments.
If you are looking for a debt consolidation company in Hixson, TN, this is one of the most affordable solutions.
Debt Consolidation Loans in Hixson (TN)
A debt consolidation loan may lower your expenses over the long haul because loans from a conventional loan company normally come with more affordable rates than what you’ve been spending on your revolving credit accounts.

Wakefield is kind of a wonder.
The formal experiment of "Unfriended" is intriguing. Here is a movie that takes place in real time and in which everything we see is limited to whatever is on the screen of the main character's computer. The concept is not new, of course, although this might be the first time that such a conceit is portrayed without any attempt at embellishment. Director Levan Gabriadze and screenwriter Nelson Greaves restrict the characters to the space immediately near their computers, save for a moment in which one character picks up his laptop and walks around his house.
Otherwise, we're witnessing a lengthy conversation between a group of six teenagers that switches between video-chat and text-messaging sessions. That is until a supernatural force makes it a conversation between five teenagers, and then four, and so on and so forth.
The movie possesses two fatal miscalculations: 1.) All of these characters are self-absorbed, unsympathetic bores; 2.) It simply is not very interesting to watch video chats and text messages, particularly when the participants are of the sort described in item No. 1. The majority of the movie is spent staring at static web browser and program windows on Blaire's (Shelley Hennig) desktop. Within those windows are smaller video boxes featuring close-ups of her friends or text bubbles featuring the written exchanges between two characters in the typical, lazy shorthand of online communication. One imagines the shortcut to a dictionary program in the bottom left of the screen is an inside joke for those who prefer proper spelling and grammar in their written communiqués.
Through these exchanges, we learn that, a year ago to the day, a teenage girl named Laura (Heather Sossaman) committed suicide after a video of her in an embarrassing, drunken stupor emerged online. Blaire and her boyfriend Mitch (Moses Jacob Storm) start a sexually charged video chat that involves him wielding a knife and "jokingly" threatening her with it if she doesn't remove her shirt. He's a real stand-up guy, that Mitch.
Their conversation is interrupted by a group chat with three other friends: generic best friend Adam (Will Peltz), stuck-up brat Jess (Renee Olstead), and requisite computer whiz Ken (Jacob Wysocki). Later, the slightly-less-stuck-up Val (Courtney Halverson) joins them, but the friends' communications are also being monitored by an anonymous user who seems to have access to all of Laura's online accounts. Maybe the link to an online forum post with the title "DO NOT ANSWER MESSAGES FROM A DEAD PERSON" is a warning. The capitalized letters certainly seem to be a giveaway. The story about a woman who answered a text message from her dead husband and killed herself a week later is definitely one.
Superficially, this is a horror movie, although its distinct lack of such important elements as mounting suspense and genuine scares forces us to think otherwise. As suggested before, the movie is an attempt to accurately recreate the experience of a lengthy stay in front of a computer screen. As such, most of the movie's stabs at tension involve staring at the spinning circle of a video that's loading, the long pauses between instant messages when the person on the other end is occupied with something else, watching files download, and Blaire typing and deleting—and re-typing and again deleting—various messages to the ghost in the machine that is probably the spirit of the girl that she and her friends drove to commit suicide. By the way, almost all of the characters state in one way or another that Laura "had it coming." They're such relatable people, this lot.
The characters, of course, must die off one at a time. They do eventually and in increasingly silly, confounding ways that Gabriadze milks for cheap, blatant jump scares (The final, anticlimactic one especially feels like a rushed afterthought). A little bit of credit is due to Greaves' screenplay for creating a techno-ghost with a sense of humor. In between the obvious moments of terrorizing its victims, the phantom plays with the teens' insecurities and secrets. After a sexual betrayal is revealed, Blaire's playlist of contemporary pop music is replaced with an oldie about lying. The movie's funniest scenes are unintentional, such as a lengthy game of "Never Have I Ever" that quickly turns into a melodramatic showdown and two uses of a blender that the appliance's inventor likely never imagined.
In case it isn't clear by now, the movie has a message: Cyber-bullying is bad. "Unfriended" is, one supposes, partially an overblown attempt to scare people straight about that despicable trend, but instead, the movie might just make people associate bullying with a hollow, tedious endeavor that lacks any satisfaction. Hey, that could work, too.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

If you want a different way to clean your home and save money, it’s time to search your pantry. You probably already own the items needed to make these four DIY cleaning solutions to use all over your home. Add some dollar store spray bottles and our free printable labels, and you’ll never run out of your favorite cleaners again.
First, gather your ingredients:
- White Vinegar is a natural deodorizer. It also dissolves dirt, soap scum, and hard water deposits from smooth surfaces.
- Rubbing alcohol helps leave a sparkling shine on glass and windows.
- Dawn dish-soap. This stuff is a miracle worker. It helps scrub surfaces and picks up dirt and grease.
- Castille soap and cornstarch to pick up dust and help keep it away.
- Lemon juice, sprig of rosemary, or your favorite essential oils. These are completely optional but give a little fragrance to your homemade cleaner . They also help cut the harsh scent of the vinegar. Also, the lemon is a mild disinfectant which is always beneficial when cleaning.
All of these can be stored and used with spray bottles, just like the store bought versions.
This bathroom cleaner is perfect for scrubbing bathroom counters, toilets, and tubs. It helps remove soap scum and leaves chrome fixtures extra shiny. For tough jobs, spray it on, leave for a few minutes or more, then rinse down or wipe away with a wet cloth. Tougher concentrations of this mixture can be useful outside of the bathroom, like cleaning stains from carpet. Always test on a small spot first. Personally, I have found so many uses for this cleaner. It cleaned the front of my front loading washing machine, like a dream.
- 1 part Dawn dish soap to 2-4 parts White Vinegar
- 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil
Glass and Mirror Cleaner
Only 3 ingredients in this recipe to get sparkling windows and mirrors. Gentle enough that you don’t have to worry about using it everywhere. Take it from the counters to appliances. Also, an added bonusammonia has no amonia!
- 1/2 cup of Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Rubbing Alcohol
- 2 Tablespoons of Cornstarch
- 2 Cups of Water
- Optional Lemon Juice
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk.
- Empty into spray bottle with a funnel.
- Shake before each use.
Granite Counter Cleaner
Once you’re finished cleaning with this homemade spray, you will be able to see yourself in your granite. First, clean the surface area with mild soap and water, then spritz and buff with a microfiber cloth.
- 1/4 cup Rubbing Alcohol
- 3 Drops Dawn dish soap or castille soap
- 5-10 drops Essential Oil
- 1 cups water
Dusting Spray Cleaner
The combination in this spray helps clean wood then restores its shine. The castille soap collects the dust, while the olive oil helps moisturize the wood. Adding lemon oil or a rosemary sprig will add an antibacterial element for keeping wood kitchen and dining tables ready for meals. This made a lot of solution. I would half it or make two to store in different parts of your home.
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon Dr. Bronner’s Soap (Castille soap. This is optional. It is found with the natural soaps and is available at most grocery stores.)
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 5-10 drops Essential oil, lemon juice or rosmary sprig (optional)
Oil and vinegar will not mix, so you will have to shake the mixture before use. Spray on dust cloth and get to work.
Free Printable DIY Cleaning Solution Labels
Now that all the solutions are made, how about some official labels so you can keep the new mixtures straight? You can download and print these cleaner labels for free. Apply them with storage tape or make clear sticky labels with the tutorial below.
Step 1: Print the labels on regular paper. They must be printed in black and white to create these sticky labels.
Step 2: Cover the image with heavy duty packing tape, then rub the image with a craft stick.
Step 3: Cut the image out
Step 4: Soak the label in warm water. Peel the paper away from the packing tape. Set aside and allow to dry. When completely dry, the tape will become sticking again.
Step 5: Apply and admire your handy work.
No need to ever buy cleaning supplies from the store again. Yours will look better, cost less, and you probably don’t even have to leave the house.

In September, I won a Leap Motion Controller at a hackathon and started thinking about what I could build with it. After playing around with the SDK a little bit to understand what kind of data I could get, I thought it would be cool to build a translator for sign language.
Deaf people have valuable things to offer society, and it’s a shame when communication is a barrier. After talking with a friend who was excited about the idea, we decided to work on a sign language translator at TAMUHack (a hackathon at Texas A&M). In this post, I’d like to talk about how we approached the challenge.
On the big day, we set up our workstation and got to hacking. Our first goal was to get something working that would transcribe signs of the ASL alphabet as a user signed them above the device. Matt started working on getting data on each joint into a database I had set up so that we could experiment with the data more easily. With data in hand, we set to work getting the actual recognition part working.
Machine Learning Basics
For those of you unfamiliar with machine learning, it’s often broken down into a few different kinds of problems. For our project, we were attempting to solve a classification problem. Classification problems are problems where the input is some data points, and the output should be a label. For example, determining if a given email is spam or not is a classification problem.
In our case, we’re trying to go from the per-joint position data that the Leap Motion API gives us to a letter of the alphabet. Using the awesome scikit-learn library, I set to getting a classifier up and running while Matt gathered more data.
By around 3:00am, we had a simple transcription device more or less working. Playing around with it, we knew it definitely wasn’t perfect, but it showed promise. At one point, while attempting to solve the issues we were running into, we turned to Markov chains. The idea was that because certain letters commonly precede others, we should be able to figure out that a person signing “q” will probably sign “u” next. In the end, that wasn’t a super helpful idea – we later tore it out. After we input some more training data, the recognition was good enough that we could work with it.
We had a little bit of extra time, so we decided to try to make something fun to demonstrate the sign language recognition we were able to implement. We wanted to make a language learning tool, something like Rosetta Stone for sign language. Given the amount of time we had left, we set our sights on a simple game that would reward players for making as many signs as they could in thirty seconds.
By 8:00am, we had something working. Our game would put up a picture of a sign and ask the player to mimic it. Once she had, she would be awarded 100 points and pick another sign for her to input. At the end of thirty seconds, the game has you enter your name on the leaderboard:
We were happy with our project by about an hour before it was due. We were then able to focus on presentations.
Hackathon Pro-Tip: Presentations
If you’re going to a hackathon, I highly recommend putting some time into planning out your presentation. Having a plan for the best way to demonstrate your project to judges can put that last bit of polish on your project and really make a difference.
After the initial, science-fair style presentations, we (along with five other projects) got to present at closing ceremonies. Awesome! I had to rush a little bit (because the event was running a little late), but talking about our project in front of everyone was very fun.
We ended up getting second place, which I’m very proud of. Learning more about the Leap Motion and how to use it was also a blast. If you want to see any code, it’s all available on GitHub.

The new Post-ABC poll shows that “46 percent approve of the way Obama is handling his job; 50 percent disapprove. That’s a mirror image of his 50 to 46 positive split in early February. The downshift is particularly notable among independents — 57 percent of whom now disapprove — and among white people without college degrees, with disapproval among this group now topping approval by a ratio of more than 2 to 1, at 66 versus 28 percent.”
While some of this is certainly attributable to gas prices, his handling of the economy is also a sore point with voters. Thirty-eight percent approve of his handling of the economy while 59 percent disapprove. Moreover, President Obama’s “strongly disapprove” number (39 percent) leads the “strongly approve” number (28 percent), highlighting that anti-Obama voters are more intense and plentiful than pro-Obama voter.
Voters are split 49-49 percent on whether they think the economy is recovering. Of those who see improvement, a whopping 74 percent think it as a weak recovery. That is an electorate ripe for the argument that we can do better than the Obama economy.

Well come half term, come the painting frenzy!
Those of you who are familiar with the book World War Z, will appreciate the inspiration for my latest offering. In the book the U.S start dropping 4 man spec ops teams into the grey zones to search for survivors and organise resistance.
I opted for four figures from Hasslefree Miniatures. Their figures aren't cheap, but they are beautifully sculpted and paint up a treat. As ever I used a mix of Vallejo and Citadel paints and washes.
Next on the paint table - North Africa adobe buildings.

Article published originally during the summer 2020.
Crowdfunding is experiencing an increasing momentum in the global economic landscape. Although it represents a unique category of fundraising, with different vehicles, processes and goals, its underlying concept is neither so revolutionary nor so different from a traditional whip round . Anyway, the coming of several disruptive events such as the Web 2.0 revolution, translated Crowdfunding into an innovative financing mechanism which is gaining always more attention from fundseeking ventures. Many different notions have been proposed with the aim of defining Crowdfunding, essentially developing a common conception that labels it as an internet-based open call for the provision of financial resources in order to support initiatives for specific purposes. It is really challenging to assess what would have happened if no one started to recognize in crowds a potential source both of finance and innovation; what is acknowledged though, is that nowadays companies are giving external individuals always more importance in several core functions, contributing to the rapid spread of the crowd phenomenon in all its derivations. Basically, Crowdfunding allows a large number of parties from different contexts to finance a project or a business by making a personal contribution, thus giving proponents the possibility to exploit their personal networks to raise funds. The innovation it provides could be found in its linkage to the crowd, implemented through dedicated platforms, that open new rooms for bridging investors’ and fundraisers’ communities. From a broad perspective, it is part of the recent wake of new forms of economic exchange which share common rationales including disintermediation through technological platforms, centrality of trust and reputation and connective dynamics. Provided that Crowdfunding encompasses different application models, this thesis focuses on the equity-based one; essentially, when a company wants to attract investments from individuals instead of credit institutes or private equity firms, this is called Equity Crowdfunding or Crowdinvesting . After the coming of 2008 crisis, traditional financing sources for startups and SMEs such as business angels, venture capitalists and banks, have become more risk averse; in this sense, some literatures have argued that Equity Crowdfunding could successfully fill in the financing gap which originated after the hardening of funders’ selection processes. Actually, despite its recent birth, Equity Crowdfunding currently forms a consistent part of the whole Alternative Finance segment for several countries, acting as a new disintermediated source of financing , which seems able to impact funding processes of young businesses in a relevant way, especially in this “digital era”.
The European market for crowdfunding has grown rapidly in recent years and is likely that it will grow further as investors look for yield-generating opportunities and people, organizations and businesses, notably start-ups can raise financing through websites (also known as portals or crowdfunding platforms) that acts as service providers or intermediaries between those wanting to invest and those wanting investment.
Improving the regulation of European crowdfunding service providers (ECSPs) and how investors as well as how small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) can make use of crowdfunding as an alternative to bank intermediated funding has been a longstanding priority of the European Commission including as part of tis FinTech Action Plan. Rulemaking in this area was first proposed as part of the first launch of the EU’s Capital Markets Union (CMU) in September 2015 and has now become legislative reality as part of the 2020 relaunch as CMU 2.0. The European Commission is of the view that crowdfunding, in addition to being an important source of non-bank financing, can help spur job creation, economic growth and competitiveness – areas which the European Crowdfunding Stakeholders Forum, as an expert group of representatives of associations of concerned stakeholder groups as well as national competent authorities (NCAs).
Last October, the European Parliament has adopted the latest text for the European Crowdfunding Service Provider (ESCP) for Business Regulation. as well as related changes to Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFid). The EU’s Regulation (ECSP Regulation) and a Directive (ECSP Directive) on Crowdfunding Service Providers were published in the EU’s Official Journal on October 20, 2020, entering into force on November 9, 2020 with its scheduled date of application beginning November 10, 2021. Both the ECSP Regulation and ECSP Directive have direct effect across the EU-27 and while the ECSP Regulation has direct effect, Member States have six months’ time to implement the ECSP Directive into national law. The original proposal for a regulation on crowdfunding, adopted by the European Commission in March 2018, has already enable crowdfunding platforms to easily provide their services across the EU.
Platforms have now to comply with only one set of rules, both when operating in their home market and in other EU countries. For investors, the proposal will provide legal certainty as regards the applicable protection rules. However, the rules do not stop there. The ECSP Regulation states that in the interests of legal certainty and in view of replacing national rules, a transitional switchover period applies. This means that a person carrying out activity that is covered by the ECSP Regulation and ECSP Directive may continue to conduct such business until November 10, 2022 under the existing national regimes (where these exist). During the transitional period, Member States can put in place special procedures enabling legal persons, which have been authorized under national law to convert such authorizations into ECSP compliant authorizations provided that such firms meet the requirements set out in the regime. Where crowdfunding service providers have failed to obtain an authorization as an ECSP by November 10, 2022 they should not issue any new crowdfunding offers after that date but may continue, in accordance with applicable national law, to service existing contracts, including collecting and transferring of receivables, providing asset-safekeeping services or processing corporate actions.
New rules a
- a single set of requirements that will apply to all ECSPs for offers up to EUR 5 million, calculated over a period of 12 months for each crowdfunding project owner. Larger fund raisings will fall into the scope of MiFID II/MiFIR and the Prospectus Regulation. Reward and donation-based crowdfunding are explicitly excluded from the scope of the new rules;
- a harmonized investor disclosure regime whereby crowdfunding project owners provide investors with a key investment information sheet (KIIS) for each crowdfunding offer or at platform level, in addition to a comprehensive set of disclaimers and recommendations on ECSP websites and communications;
- a suitability and appropriateness testing requirement for investors prior to being able to invest assessing their understanding of financial products and their ability to bear financial losses;
- a uniform authorization and passporting process for ECSPs across the EU-27 whereby the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has a central role in facilitating coordination and cooperation amongst national competent authorities (NCAs) or otherwise has supervisory powers including developing further technical standards and a binding dispute resolution mechanism; and
- detailed conduct of business obligations for ECSPs including duty to avoid and prevent conflicts of interest, restrictions on inducements to clients and on a ECSP participating in crowdfunding offers hosted on their crowdfunding platform.
THE REGULATION SHOULD BRING LEGAL CLARITY TO THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES
In the case of crowdfunding services, it has become evident that although on the one hand, companies are looking for solutions to finance their projects through crowdfunding, the unregulated market of crowdfunding services has also led to negative examples of investors losing money. The establishment of common rules for crowdfunding platforms has been underway at the European level for several years. What improvements will the new regulation bring along?
First, the new regulation determines the crowdfunding service – matching of business funding interests of investors and project owners through a crowdfunding platform, which includes either the facilitation of granting of loans or the offering of transferable securities and instruments accepted for crowdfunding without a specific obligation and the provision of the reception and transmission of related client orders. In case a crowdfunding platform wishes to safe keep investors’ assets or provide payment services in the course of its activities, the platform must have a separate authorisation for the respective financial service. Nor can a crowdfunding platform operate as a multilateral trading facility or an organised trading facility without the relevant authorisation of an investment firm or receive deposits from the public without the authorisation of a credit institution.
One of the problems in the area of crowdfunding is that under the name of crowdfunding, there are financial services offered which would require separate authorisation. The new regulation creates legal clarity for companies and investors and makes it possible to define more clearly, which services the crowdfunding platform may provide in the course of its activities and when additional authorisation is required. The preamble to the regulation also points out, as a problem, that the fragmented legal framework in the Member States creates substantial legal costs for retail investors, especially in the case of cross-border crowdfunding services.
AUTHORISATION OBLIGATION FOR CROWDFUNDING PLATFORMS
The new regulation establishes an authorisation obligation for crowdfunding platforms. The information required to apply for authorisation is essentially similar to that required for other financial services authorisation, such as a description of the programme of operations, governance arrangements and internal control mechanisms, description of operational risks, information and evidence on prudential safeguards, description of the business continuity programme, and the documents providing proof of the management’s competence and reputation, etc.
The new regulation applies to crowdfunding offers with a total value of up to EUR 5 million over a 12-month period. As the Prospectus Regulation allows Member States to derogate from the obligation to publish a prospectus in a public offer of securities until the raising of funds up to EUR 8 million, Estonia has a limit that obligation to publish a prospectus is not applicable when raising funds up to EUR 2.5 million. Projects offered through crowdfunding will unequivocally be subject to a limit of EUR 5 million, which means that under this regulation, securities of up to EUR 5 million can be offered to the public through authorised crowdfunding platforms without the obligation to draw up a prospectus. Member States such as Estonia, where the obligation to draw up a prospectus has so far applied at a lower threshold, will have a transitional period to make the necessary changes at the national level.
Minimum prudential requirements are also set for crowdfunding service providers. Namely, the service provider must have own funds or an insurance policy, which at any time is at least EUR 25 000 or one-quarter of the fixed overheads of the previous year.
THE RULES ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT INVESTORS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE ESTABLISHED FOR OTHER INVESTMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS
Under the new regulation, a number of rules have been established to protect investors, imposing similar requirements on the activities of crowdfunding service providers as on other investment service providers. Crowdfunding platforms must distinguish between sophisticated and non-sophisticated investors, just as MiFID II distinguishes between professional and retail clients. When defining an investor as a sophisticated investor, the platform should take into account the limits set out in the regulation on the income, volume of assets, or other criteria of natural and legal persons. The service provider must assess its knowledge and ability to bear losses before granting the customer access to the platform’s services, and the assessment must be carried out periodically in the future.
Minimum due diligence measures that shall be taken by the crowdfunding service provider for project owners who offer their projects through their platform are also defined. The service provider must verify that the project owner does not have a criminal penalty for various infringements and that it is not a legal person established in a high-risk third country or non-cooperating region.
The crowdfunding service provider must allow for non-sophisticated investors a reflection period of 4 calendar days, during which the potential investor may withdraw the investment offer or interest related to his crowdfunding offer without giving a reason and without incurring a penalty.
A KEY INVESTMENT INFORMATION SHEET MUST BE PREPARED FOR EACH CROWDFUNDING OFFER
The crowdfunding service provider is obliged to provide investors with a key investment in-formation sheet prepared by the project owner for each proposed project. The Regulation lays down a mandatory minimum content of a key information sheet, which in many areas is similar to the main content of a prospectus. Although the document is prepared by the project owner, the service provider must have procedures in place to verify the completeness, accuracy, and clarity of the key information sheet.
The service provider must inform the project owner when identifying that key information sheet contains misleading or missing information that is important for the return of the expected investment and, if necessary, suspend the crowdfunding offer for up to 30 days until the project owner corrects the information. At least the project owner or its administrative, management, or supervisory bodies shall be responsible for the information provided in the key investment information sheet.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE KEY INFORMATION SHEET
As in the provisions on prospectus liability, the Member State undertakes to ensure that the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions on civil liability apply to the natural and legal persons responsible for the information contained in the key investment information document and its translations, at least where the information is misleading or inaccurate and the key information, necessary for investors when deciding on the financing of a crowdfunding project, has been omitted from the key information sheet.

Health chiefs fear they may not have enough rarer blood stocks over Christmas because the freezing weather is putting people off donating.
NHS bosses are now urging the public to step up donations throughout the winter to help save lives.
The health service desperately needs more B negative and O negative blood, and anyone with these types can walk in to a central donor centre without an appointment.
Stocks are currently lower than is needed over the Christmas period.
NHS Blood and Transplant runs the Liverpool Donor Centre at 53 Dale Street, and has seen some cancelled appointments during the recent spell of snow, hail and icy conditions.
The service needs almost 200,000 new blood donors a year just to replace those who no longer donate, with a regular supply vital as red cells last only 35 days.
Everyone is encouraged to donate all year round from the four main blood groups - O, A, B and AB - with O the most common and in demand.
B negative and O negative blood are so in demand that anyone with these types does not need an appointment to visit the Dale Street centre.
But anyone else needs to book an appointment by calling the donor line on 0300 123 23 23 or visiting the blood.co.uk website .
Jon Latham, NHS Blood and Transplant said: “The recent poor weather has resulted in us having less O negative and B negative blood than is required for patients going into Christmas.
“If you are a donor with one of these important blood groups, please just walk into Liverpool Donor Centre as soon as you can, and we will take your blood.
“Seriously ill patients in Liverpool will need blood this Christmas and they will rely on the generosity of people making time to donate now.
“If you know that you have one of these blood groups and you can donate please take action now and walk in and donate – you will save lives.”
It comes amid warnings the bad weather has also increased the risk of heart attacks and strokes for many vulnerable members of the public.
Professor Willet, NHS England’s National Director for Acute Care, said: “What the public are unaware of is the immediate knock on effect of the cold weather. Patients who have pre-existing conditions may not be aware that they are most at risk of falling ill in the days after temperatures drop.
“This also adds pressure on already busy A&E departments and can be avoided by taking simple steps to keep well.”
Dr Kieran Murphy, Medical Director for NHS England in Cheshire and Merseyside, said: “It’s surprising how quickly something like a cough or cold can turn into a serious health condition, especially for people who are vulnerable to becoming ill over the winter months.
“If you’re in an at-risk group, it’s really important to have your flu jab. Anyone in this group is more likely to potentially serious complications from flu and the vaccine offers the best protection.”

For a private investor, Firm converted a 215 square meter part of this 120-year-old Warehouse on one of the busiest harbors in the Port of Rotterdam. The poorly lit space combined with a north-facing facade with just a few windows meant the owner needed to be visionary in order to perceive a bright and well usable office space.
Mondeal Heights, a project of blocher partners india, is one of Ahmedabads iconic landmarks. Since it has recently won the “Trends Excellence Awards” it can also be called “Commercial Project of 2019”. The multifunctional high-end ensemble for business on 58,000 square metres integrates itself perfectly within the city scape.
A new home for two families brings new life to a quiet Montréal neighborhood dating back to the 50’s and 60’s. In its own, unassuming way, this recent building is part of a movement that is gradually transforming Montréal’s traditional streets, as a growing number of young families are moving in.
Montréal is known for its lively neighborhoods and its traditional streets, lined with two- and three-story row houses. Often built in the first half of the 20th Century, these homes no longer correspond to today’s lifestyles. In the hope of preserving this urban heritage, a number of architects are now attempting to give these homes a new lease on life.
To update an existing home in Forest Hill, Toronto, local firm Reigo & Bauer executed a total renovation and interior design that unifies the home’s formerly disparate areas, modernizing them functionally and aesthetically.
The suspension footbridge in Tianmen, China, spans two mountains, and its design simulates that of the surrounding snow-capped mountain landscape. Further, it responds to the cloud-edge effect, capturing direct and reflected light to increase solar energy production.
The Cap St-Martin residence is located at the end of a long winding road in Potton. Most of the neighbouring properties are made up of second homes isolated from each other by a mixed forest, facing Lake Memphremagog.
Being a well-established and highly trusted brand, originally housed within the busy lanes of the ancient city of Varanasi, Ksheer Sagar wanted to mark its presence as a heady mix of cultural and culinary heritage for its first outlet in a metropolitan city like Delhi.
The Box XL Houses is a seven houses development arranged in a diverse way, creating different relationships with the environment. The aim was to achieve a balance between the “constructed” and the “natural”, between the “mass” and the “void” so that these two antagonistic realities would form a peaceful and continuous dialogue, enhancing each other.
Located in Toronto’s Roncesvalles neighbourhood, the Galley house challenges conventional notions typical of a semi-detached, Victorian era home, by providing a new rear entry hub, internal connectivity, and abundant natural light within a two-storey volume addition.
Montreal-based yh2 introduces TRIPTYCH, a three-pavilion residence carefully nestled in lakeside surroundings. The house, with its crisp lines and sober palette, was built on a sloping site overlooking a small lake in the Laurentian Mountains, one hundred kilometres from Montreal.
The chalet du Bois Flotté (the Driftwood Chalet) is located on the gently sloping terraces overlooking Cap-à-l’Aigle and the river. In the distance, one can see the Malbaie River and the slow movement of its tides. The chalet is reminiscent of the first homes built along the St Lawrence Valley, with their gabled roofs on rectangular massings.

Ageing, income and living standards: evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
In Britain, older people have lower average incomes and a higher risk of income poverty than the general population. Older pensioners are more likely to be in poverty than younger ones. Yet certain indicators of their living standards suggest that older people experience less hardship than expected, given their incomes. A possible explanation is that older people convert income into basic living standards at a higher rate than younger people, implying that as people age they need less income to achieve a given standard of living. Much existing evidence has been based on cross-sectional data and therefore may not be a good guide to the consequences of ageing. We use longitudinal data on people aged at least 50 years from the British Household Panel Survey to investigate the effects of ageing on the relationship between standard of living, as measured by various deprivation indices, and income. We find that for most indices, ageing increases deprivation when controlling for income and other factors. The exception is a subjective index of 'financial strain', which appears to fall as people age. We also find evidence of cohort effects. At any given age and income, more-recently-born older people in general experience more deprivation than those born longer ago. To some extent these ageing and cohort effects balance out, which suggests that pensions do not need to change with age.

NORTON SHORES, Mich. (FOX 2) - A suspect is in custody after a 20-year-old man was killed by a crossbow arrow in western Michigan.
Marcus Olmstead was found on the driveway of his home Wednesday with a crossbow bolt in his torso. He was found by his twin brother.
Emergency workers tried to revive him but he died at the home in Norton Shores, which is just south of Muskegon along Lake Michigan.
Norton Shores police said they arrested a Grant man Thursday on a charge of open murder in Olmstead's death.
Police say the 20-year-old suspect knew Olmstead and the shooting wasn't a random act. The suspect's identity is being withheld pending his arraignment.
Olmstead's stepmother says he had returned from a friend's house hours before his death and had been waiting for a girl he had messaged.

See related article on adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy for HIV.
What side effects might I have from my HIV medicine?
The HIV virus can cause heart, kidney, bone, liver, bone marrow, and metabolic problems. These problems can also be side effects of medicines for HIV (called antiretroviral therapy, or ART). Side effects can also occur because of interactions between ART and other medicines that you take. It is important to talk with your doctor about these issues, because the benefits and risks of ART need to be balanced.
Below is a list of some common side effects of ART. If you are taking one of these medicines and are worried about side effects, talk with your doctor before you stop taking your medicine. Stopping can cause dangerous resistance.
Protease inhibitors (PIs) in people with hemophilia; tipranavir (brand name: Aptivus) may cause bleeding in the head
Tenofovir (brand name: Viread), didanosine (brand name: Videx)
Bone marrow problems
Zidovudine (brand name: Retrovir)
Stavudine (brand name: Zerit), efavirenz (brand name: Sustiva), all PIs except for unboosted atazanavir (brand name: Reyataz)
Zidovudine, stavudine; many PIs
Increased risk of heart disease
Abacavir (brand name: Ziagen), didanosine, indinavir (brand name: Crixivan), lopinavir/ritonavir (brand name: Kaletra)
Indinavir, atazanavir, fosamprenavir (brand name: Lexiva)
Other kidney problems
Indinavir, atazanavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, tenofovir
Lactic acidosis and pancreatitis
Stavudine, didanosine, zidovudine
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), PIs, maraviroc (brand name: Selzentry), zidovudine, didanosine, stavudine
Mood and sleeping problems
Zidovudine, didanosine, PIs
Weight gain in waist and back of neck
Weight loss in arms, legs, and face
Stavudine, zidovudine, tenofovir, abacavir, emtricitabine (brand name: Emtriva), lamivudine (brand name: Epivir)
What can I do to prevent bone loss?
People with HIV can have low levels of vitamin D, which is important for bone health. Bone loss is common in people with HIV, and ART can also cause this problem. A special kind of x-ray, called a DEXA scan, can check for bone loss. People at risk include postmenopausal women; those with small bone frame, a previous fracture, or rheumatoid arthritis; those with a parent who had a hip fracture; and people who use tobacco or steroids, or drink three or more alcoholic drinks per day. If you have one of these risk factors and are older than 50 years, your doctor may want you to have a DEXA scan. Vitamin D deficiency and bone loss can be treated with exercise, medicine, and calcium and vitamin D pills.
What can I do to prevent metabolic and heart problems?
HIV and ART both cause weight loss or gain, glucose intolerance, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Medicines called nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are most commonly associated with weight problems. You may lose weight in your face, arms, or legs, or gain weight around your waist or at the back of your neck. Treatment is primarily cosmetic (e.g., liposuction, injections). A diet low in polyunsaturated fats and high in fiber may help.
People who take ART have a higher risk of heart disease. Smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a family history of heart attacks also increase your risk. You can lower your risk by exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet. If you smoke, your doctor can help you quit. He or she can also give you medicine to treat diabetes and high cholesterol.
What can I do to prevent kidney problems?
HIV-associated nephropathy is the most common kidney problem in people with HIV. You will need to have your urine checked for protein at least once per year. Your doctor will also do a blood test to check your creatinine level. High creatinine levels suggest that your kidneys are not working well.
What can I do to prevent liver problems?
ART can be hard on the liver. Your doctor will do tests to make sure your liver is not having problems. Your doctor may also test you for hepatitis B and C, which can cause liver problems. Alcohol can make liver problems worse. If you drink alcoholic drinks on a regular basis, talk with your doctor.
How will my doctor check for side effects?
Your doctor will do regular blood tests. You should have a cholesterol test every year, and give a urine sample to be checked for protein. If you change medicines, your doctor will recheck your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
What should I do if I notice side effects?
It is important to take your medicine every day. If you are having a hard time doing this, let your doctor know. If you are worried about a side effect, keep taking your medicine until you discuss your concern with your doctor. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, and take a multivitamin every day.
If you have diabetes or cholesterol problems, talk to your doctor about whether you should make any changes in your diet. Your doctor will also give you medicine for these conditions. Tell your doctor at each visit all of the medicines you are taking, including herbal medicines.

The National 12 fleet descended onto Starcross YC for round six of the Gill-sponsored series last weekend 22/9/06
The National 12 fleet descended onto Starcross YC for round six of the Gill-sponsored series over the weekend 16-17 September.
Race 1 started in sunshine but with a patchy breeze with a hole in it on the first round at the wing mark of the P-shaped course, which allowed the fleet to bunch up and effectively restart the race. As the breeze returned it became a consistent Force 2 for the rest of the day, which was much to the liking of Fran Gifford and Sophie Mackley who took the winning gun after a tussle with Jon Ibbotson and Rachael Williamson. They were followed home by Mike Day and Anna Hickman in third place.
Race 2 saw Brian and George Kitching take an early lead which they held before being overhauled by the Ibbotson/Williamson and Gifford/Mackley who finished in that order. Race 3 started against the now ebbing tide and whilst most of the fleet started at the committee boat end favoured by the line bias, Kevin and Lesley Iles started at the pin in the middle of the estuary having worked out that the deep channel was near the shore by the committee boat. It soon became clear that it was avoiding the tide that mattered and team Iles rounded the first mark with a significant lead which appeared safe. However, Ibbotson/Williamson and Gifford/Mackley had other ideas and gradually hauled the Iles’ back to pass them on between the final mark and the line, finishing in that order.
After an excellent meal at the club on the Saturday night, the barrel of real ale being drunk dry well before the end of the evening and a table football competition, the fleet retired to bed with all to play for on the Sunday. Unfortunately this was not to be as the breeze was almost non-existent and at 2 O’clock the decision was taken to abandon the idea of racing and get an early start home.
Gill clothing and accessories were awarded to everyone attending their first Gill series event, to Will and Matt McGrath for donating their winnings of £26.00 from the Saturday evening table football competition to the RNLI, and to Andy Woolner as thanks for his efforts as race officer in trying conditions.

Balloo Inns serves up £20,000 to charity close to its ‘heart’
From left, Connlaith Ní Raifeartaigh, NICHS community fundraising manager; Ronan Sweeney, managing director, Balloo Inns; team members Paula Boyd, Ruairi Uzell, Heather McCoubrey and Robbie Stewart; and Jennie Sweeney, managing director, Balloo Inns.
Balloo Inns Group has raised £20,000 for Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke (NICHS), the only local charity in Northern Ireland dedicated to the care and prevention of chest, heart and stroke survivors.
The 120-strong team of chefs, managers and front-of-house staff from across the group’s three award-winning dining pubs, The Parson’s Nose, The Poacher’s Pocket and Balloo House, took part in a number of initiatives throughout the last 12 months to raise some much-needed funds for a charity close to its heart.
“We are delighted and proud to be able to support NICHS in this way,” said Ronan Sweeney, Balloo Inns managing director and owner. “In the true spirit of teamwork, our staff came together to plan and execute a number of innovative and successful fundraising activities. We also could not have done it without the support and generosity of our customers, donating through the successful Eat and Defeat initiative.
“Having suffered from a stroke myself 10 years ago, this is a cause I feel very passionate about. I hope to use what happened to me to help others. Looking back, my wife Jennie and I could both have benefited from the support NICHS provides to stroke survivors and their families. With 11 people suffering a stroke every day in Northern Ireland, it is really important that we play our part in reducing these numbers.
“Stroke can affect people of all ages. The health checks, which are at the core of NICHS’s health promotion work, can play such a large part in detecting pre-existing conditions that evitability can increase the risk of stroke in people that otherwise seem healthy. We are delighted that the money raised has helped to fund free health checks in the local area.”
Connlaith Ní Raifeartaigh, NICHS community fundraising manager, Balloo Inns, said: “We are so unbelievably lucky and grateful to Ronan, Jennie, and the whole team at Balloo for their amazing support during the inaugural year of this partnership.
“NICHS offers practical and emotional support to individuals and families affected by these illnesses at what can be a difficult time in their lives. Over 80% of our work is funded by public donations so partnerships like Balloo Inns’ are extremely important to us. We genuinely could not continue to deliver our life-changing services without supporters like Balloo Inns.”
Currently there are over 335,000 people living with chest, heart and stroke conditions, and almost 40% of adult deaths are directly related to one of these illnesses. The £20,000 raised by Balloo Inns this year will go towards NICHS’s support groups and programmes, including the pop-up NICHS health checks in the local area such as Newtownards.
The Balloo Inns Group is continuing to support NICHS and is dedicated to reducing the number of deaths from preventable chest, heart and stroke illnesses in NI through its fundraising efforts.

You'll want to know what sort of performance Katie Holmes gives in Theresa Rebeck's Dead Accounts, which marks the actress's second Broadway appearance and her first since she slipped out of the orbit of That Superstar Who Declared His Love by Jumping on a Sofa.
That’s a lot, considering there's not much meat to this comedy, and that most of it has been thrown into the sizable, eager mandibles of Tony-winner Norbert Leo Butz. It's a showcase role, and he's up for it.

Katie Holmes brought star power, and a touch of improvisation, in her return to the Broadway stage on Monday, as the new family comedy Dead Accounts opened for previews.
Holmes, 33, drew applause on several occasions – notably, when a telephone she was using in one scene broke, and she deftly fixed it without skipping a beat, even punctuating her dialogue by slapping the broken piece back into place.
She also earned cheers for a defiant speech about Wall Street greed – a recurring theme of the play, in which Holmes plays a Cincinnati woman whose brother returns home with a load of new money and a missing wife.

Posted on April 17 2019
This month, Project Moment Designs is thrilled to feature Briana as our PMD rock-star of the month! As a blogger, editor, and overall heartwarming soul, Briana shares how faith paired with one's due diligence present the most remarkable opportunities.
Keep reading below to learn more about this beautiful soul and how our PMD brand's message spoke with Briana!
I first learned of Project Moment Designs at a women's networking event in March. I briefly met the mother-daughter duo before the scheduled speakers started. I purchased a bracelet and necklace for myself while both owners spoke positive, encouraging words over my future. I quickly fell in love. What initially attracted me was the branding. I loved the colorful display of beaded bracelets. I've loved stacking bracelets since elementary school. When I found out that their jewelry was made from crystals and meant to heal, their generosity and empathy immediately made sense. After exchanging information, I realized that they had connected with me on social media in the past and I don't believe in coincidences. The owners of this jewelry line truly embody their brand and I'm glad to have met them, not only for cute new jewelry but the positive impact they've had on me, personally, and our future collaborations to come!
We are overjoyed to have met Briana at one of our first spring markets and partake in a positive impact, a long-lasting journey to uplift one's confidence and soul!

NAREE Houston Slideshow
- Jun 23, 2014
If you haven’t heard, Houston is booming. The pipeline for both commercial and residential development is running full, and CPE got to tour a few sites while we were in town for NAREE’s 48th Annual Real Estate Journalism Conference this June.
The first stop was a LEED Platinum custom home under construction in The Heights. The owners were looking for new digs that were net-zero water and featured a big solar presence. Landscaping is also all organic and even edible in certain instances.
Next up was a $4.8 million spec house built by Al Ross Luxury Homes in the prestigious River Oaks neighborhood. While the house was impressive in its own right, perhaps most interesting was its three-year no questions warranty, an emerging trend in the luxury home market.
The editors next made their way downtown. After a short bus tour of landmarks and broken ground, we arrived at The JW Marriott Houston. The 328 suites and rooms are situated in the historic Samuel F. Carter Building, a 102-year-old, 23-story tower.

Malta registered an unprecedented drop in household spending during 2020, falling by 22 per cent over 2019 levels. The drop is the highest in the European Union, which had an average of 8 per cent.
Croatia, Spain and Greece followed with drops of around 16 per cent, with the lowest decrease in household spending registered in Slovakia and Denmark, where it declined by two to three per cent.
Declines in household spending were registered in the entire EU, as well as in European Economic Area (EEA) countries Iceland, Switzerland and Norway, and were caused by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fall in consumption registered by Malta is the highest ever recorded by Eurostat, the European statistics agency that released the figures.
Eurostat defines consumption expenditure as “what people, acting either individually or collectively, spend on goods and services to satisfy their needs and wants.”
It noted that consumption expenditure can be a way of measuring economic well-being, as the more people can consume the higher their level of economic well-being, though it also notes that “the relationship between the two is not a linear one.”
According to Eurostat, social-distancing measures, government restrictions imposed on the movement of people and non-essential economic activities all severely affected spending.
The biggest drop in expenditure during 2020 was seen among restaurants and hotels, with household consumption expenditure for this category falling by 37.8 per cent of total expenditure.
Clothing and footwear was also hard hit, dropping by 17.3 per cent, followed closed by transport, recreation and culture.
Malta also recorded the lowest levels of spending on ‘housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels’, thanks to state control on electricity prices. Total spending in the area was 16.8 per cent, in line with that spent in Lithuania and Cyprus.
Meanwhile, expenditure on such items doubled in Slovakia.

Have you ever been betrayed? Someone close to you was disloyal, your friend, a person you least expected it from.
To be betrayed can be hurtful and naturally painful, but what is Gods response to betrayal?
Position yourself as a leader. You have a board of deacons whom have been with you for a long time. Then it is revealed to you that one of them will betray you. At that moment you are having a meal with them on the same table, eating with your enemy.
This is what happened to Jesus.
Have you ever thought of what other things could have happened when Jesus was eating with the disciple he knew would betray
him? Various accounts of this incident can be found in Matthew 26: 20 – 29, Mark 14: 17 – 21, Luke 22: 21 – 23 and John 13: 21 – 30. Jesus could have threaten Judas or dealt with him otherwise but he did not. How exactly did Jesus respond? He told Judas the consequences of his actions and continued business as usual. The ordinance of breaking of bread was established there right in front of his enemy with all the emotions of being betrayed by a person close to him.
Our human reasoning cannot comprehend how Jesus responded, but one thing is sure. Jesus committed it into the hands of the father. 1 Peter 2:22 – 23 “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:”
Thank God for Jesus and the great example he has set for us. Do you feel betrayed? Forgive and commit yourself to him that judgeth righteously. Remember that Romans 12:19 – says ‘Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head’. There is no point in trying to fight Gods battles.
You may not always be able to explain betrayal. Don’t blame yourself. Did Jesus not pray before he choose his disciples? He sure did. Rather commit yourself to him that judgeth righteously. Romans 8:28 – says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
In the time of betrayal, run to God, the rock of your refuge. He will protect you and guard your heart and mind. Don’t respond in the flesh but commit yourself to the bishop and shepherd of your soul.
Heavens agenda in any situation is several steps up higher than what we are thinking. Kevin Zadai.

Should the stories of miracles that Jesus performed be considered historically accurate? Did he walk on water, or was there a conveniently placed sandbar that made his disciples think he was walking on water, or did Mark just make this story up?
Let me tell you how I approach this question.
(i) I think that all of the miracles described in the canon are within Jesus’ powers. I think it is physically possible that Jesus did walk on water, multiply bread and fish, etc. (This is a faith-based position regarding Jesus’ miraculous abilities.) This is an important point, and thus I make it first. It is one thing to dismiss a story because you don’t think Jesus could do that, and quite another thing to dismiss it for any other reason.
(ii) The historicity of any given story is ultimately unknowable (What do you want–a video of demons flying out of that poor guy?) from a historical/scientific–if not a faith-based–perspective, and therefore not a very interesting question to debate. My kids love to argue–this is what happens when a Sicilian whose first love was high school debate reproduces–and I confess that I encourage it. But what I do not permit are debates over matters of fact. You look up facts; you debate values and policies and conclusions. My kids have learned this refrain and will now correct each other: “I’m not going to argue about that; we’ll look it up when we get home. No debating matters of fact!” Thus I am not interested in debates over the historicity of miracles; these debates bore me. (The one exception to this is that I think it matters if the Resurrection was historical. But I’m still not interested in debating it, as I take it as a matter of faith.)
(iii) I think it is possible but unlikely that the NT miracle stories are all completely historically accurate. The reason I doubt this is that we have really good evidence that sometimes the gospel writers privileged theological concerns over historical ones. For example, in the Synoptics, the Last Supper is a Passover meal but in John, Jesus dies when the Passover lamb is killed. Someone–or several someones–has tweaked the timing to make a theological point. So I think 100% historical accuracy is a tough cause to defend. When it comes to any given miracle story, I think it is possible that the story may have been shaped to reflect the writer’s theological concerns, which means that some historical details may have been altered and, possibly, some may have been fabricated.
(iv) Expanding on point (iii), I think the question that is worthy of our time is to consider the theological concerns which permeate each miracle story. To take just one example: think about Jesus feeding the 5,000 in the wilderness (Mark 6:30-44). Here are several potential readings of that story:
1. There is a bunch of military imagery in that story. The men want Jesus to lead their military movement against Roman rule, but instead he feeds them.
2. This is mostly a set-up for the second feeding miracle, to which it should be compared. When they are compared–something Jesus later specifically requests–it becomes obvious that there is a lesson here about Jews, Gentiles, men, and women. (See here for more on this.)
3. This is a remix of the manna-in-the-wilderness story. The point is that Jesus is the new Moses.
4. This is a riff on 2 Kings 4:42-44, where Elisha also performs a miraculous feeding, but a much less impressive one. The point is that Jesus is like the prophets of old, but greater than the prophets of old.
5. The point is that Jesus is teaching the disciples. This is the rare miracle that the disciples participate in, and it is precipitated by their question, Jesus’ (seemingly impossible) command, and then Jesus making it possible for the disciples to actually fulfill that command. The point is clear, I hope: Jesus’ power makes it possible for his disciples to do seemingly-impossible things at his command when they rely on the combination of their own resources and his powers.
6. The miracle is a riff on Psalm 23 (sheep, green grass, feeding, etc.), showing Jesus to be the promised shepherd who will lead his people to safety.
7. The miracle is meant to contrast with the previous story of Herod’s debauched banquet that ended in John’s death.
8. The miracle is a foreshadowing of the Last Supper (which uses the same four verbs in the same order to describe Jesus’ actions); we should compare the two.
9. Several OT passages develop the idea of the “messianic banquet” as a symbol of the peace and plenty that the Messiah will bring. This is a partial fulfillment of those promises.
10. There is good evidence that the crowd is not aware of the miracle. If this is the case, then the disciples (and the audience) are learning how miracles–even when one is the beneficiary of them!–can be easily overlooked.
There are, of course, more possible interpretations of this story.
When Mark tells us that the grass was green and that the people sat by 50s and that there were five loaves, those may well be historically accurate details. Or he might have completely made them up out of thin air in order to further the association between this miracle and related OT stories. I know it panics some people when I say that, but we must accept that ancient writing norms are not our norms. We would cry foul on a writer who embroidered details in order to make an allusion clearer, but this was not true in the first century. We must resist the urge to judge them by our standards.
I suspect that some of the dryness of our Sunday Schools comes from our fear of historicity questions: we suspect that there might be something not-entirely-historical going on, but we fear the implications of it. We worry that it means tossing the whole story out on its ear if we (reluctantly) determine that it isn’t completely historical. As if the only valuable kind of story is the historical kind–a tough tack to take when Jesus is a teller of parables.
But it doesn’t need to be this way. Refocusing our gaze away from historical questions and towards literary questions is not, believe me, a loss. It is a gain. Debating the historicity of a feeding miracle is as barren as the Judean wilderness. Considering its theological meaning–that is an inquiry that never stops multiplying good things.

Kids of all ages welcome at Fermilab's Family Open House on Sunday, Feb. 10
||Children at last year's Fermilab Open House participate in one of the interactive exhibits put on by a local high-school student group. Photo: Cindy Arnold
On Sunday, Feb. 10, Fermilab's Wilson Hall will come alive with the sounds of science.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will host its annual Family Open House on Feb. 10 from 1 to 5 p.m. The open house offers activities for the whole family, from hands-on science exhibits to tours of some of the lab's attractions.
Highlights include a performance by the always popular Jerry Zimmerman as "Mr. Freeze," demonstrating the (very) cool effects of liquid nitrogen. Kids can also check out Mike Cooke's show "FUNdamental Physics," while parents and older kids will enjoy Herman White's historical talk "Great Science on the Prairie."
About a dozen scientists will be ready to answer your questions on the 15th floor of Wilson Hall, and while you're there, you can check out the spectacular view of Fermilab's site and the surrounding area. In the atrium, families can enjoy a "physics carnival," including interactive exhibits by students from five local schools: Naperville Central and Naperville North high schools, Payson High School, and Northside College Prep and Christo Rey Jesuit high schools in Chicago.
Tours of the Linear Accelerator and Main Control Room will be given throughout the day, and tours of the SeaQuest experiment will leave Wilson Hall at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Register at ed.fnal.gov/ffse_new/openhouse. There are a limited number of seats available, and standbys will be accepted.
No registration is required to attend the Family Open House. More than 2,000 people are expected to attend.
"We want to get kids doing activities that get them excited about science," said Spencer Pasero, an education program leader at Fermilab. "We want them to come in, have fun and think about science as something they could do."
The Family Open House is made possible by an anonymous donor to the nonprofit organization Fermilab Friends for Science Education.

1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it. 2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you. 3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. 4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. 6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. 7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

The chicks are here! The chicks are here! As I was leaving Farm and Fleet this morning with a peeping cardboard box, a woman went to enter the store as I was exiting. She saw my wistful smile and then motioned to the box saying, "Ahhh, the sound of happiness."
She could not have been more right!
This has been quite the adventure getting ready for these little birds. You can do as much research as you want, but nothing beats learning like actually doing the thing. They are beyond adorable and I am so happy to finally be a proud flock owner.
To prepare for the chicks I spent less than $50, chicks included. Here is the price break down:
We are on our way to a finished chicken coop thanks to some serious planning and one huge Menards trip. Paul and I like to joke that Friday night is date night at Menards, the place of serious romance.
All joking aside, going in to Menards with a plan is what saved our heads on renovating and updating this chicken coop ourselves. I started by mapping out how I wanted the chicken coop to look on the inside by using SketchUp Make. The plan went through a lot of changes as I did more research. But below you can see how everything shook out.
PSST! If you've got some intense building codes where you live, we also built our own mobile chicken tractors! That way you can protect your hens and give them all the benefits of bing free-range on pasture with none of the risks. You can read all about the mobile chicken tractors here.
Scroll down to grab the plans on how to construct a nesting box from one piece of plywood!
Thanks for stopping by Green Willow Homestead! From chicken rearing to composting, we've got our hands full and we love sharing what we've learned along the way. Follow along as we strive to live sustainably and turn these five acres from just property to a fully functioning small-scale homestead.

Continuing in our series of pieces on each country's ODI history, we go to Sri Lanka. From 1975 to 2012 (before the start of their current series against India), Sri Lanka played 667 matches and won 312 with a win loss ratio of 0.96. Their highest score is 443, lowest 43. They won the World Cup in 1996 and finished as runners-up in 2007 and 2011.
We present three lists - of players, batsmen and bowlers. The minimum qualification to be on these lists is to have played 75 matches. A match is considered in this system only when there is a result, and if the player has bowled or batted, as the case may be.
Here are the highest impact ODI players in Sri Lanka's history.
So, there are 8 specialist batsmen, 10 specialist bowlers and two all-rounders amidst the highest impact 20 players in Sri Lankan ODI cricket history; an indicator to Sri Lanka's image of being a well-balanced side in the international arena.
Unsurprisingly, it is Sanath Jayasuriya who tops the list and emerges as the highest impact player in Sri Lanka's ODI history. Jayasuriya's 12 SDs as a player confirms his billing of a game-changer in the Sri Lankan team and his tally is also the joint-highest (with Wasim Akram) by any player in the history of ODI cricket. Alongwith being one of the most explosive openers of all time, Jayasuriya was no mean achiever with the ball. He is one of the only two players (on this list) from Sri Lanka to have an all-round impact (both Batting and Bowling IMPACT above 1) and importantly has 2 SDs solely as a bowler.
Even though Kumar Sangakarra can be considered as one of the modern greats of the game, it is perhaps a bit surprising to see him at the no.2 spot. Besides his role as wicketkeeper and captain, Sangakkara is Sri Lanka's fourth-highest impact batsman in their ODI history and his tally of 6 SDs is also the joint-highest (with Adam Gilchrist) in the world for any wicket-keeper batsman. His high number of SDs also helps explaining his influence and importance to the Sri Lankan team in the recent past.
Aravinda de Silva is one of the most iconic figures in the Sri Lankan cricketing history and makes it high on this list because of his all-round abilities. His 7 SDs as a player is also the second-highest for a Sri Lankan and shows his valuable contribution to the team, more so because he started his career at a time (1984) when Sri Lanka were still minnows in the international circuit and de Silva played a major role in changing that status.
The popular notion of Arjuna Ranatunga being the best captain for Sri Lanka in their ODI history holds true as he emerges as the highest impact captain in Sri Lanka's ODI history. However, it is his influence as a player too which is quite remarkable. Even though he narrowly misses out on being classified as an all-rounder (Bowling IMPACT doesn't touch 1), his 6 SDs mark him out as one of the best Sri Lankan batsmen during his era.
Muttiah Muralitharan's and Chaminda Vaas' positions are due to their batting inadequacies, although when it comes to bowling, Muralitharan clearly leads as the highest impact Sri Lankan bowler in their ODI history and has 6 SDs to his credit whereas Vaas has 5. Their presence in the same bowling attack was the primary reason for Sri Lanka's bowling might in the mid-1990s.
The number of utility players present on this list also embodies the structure of the Sri Lankan cricket team that we have come to see for a very long time. So, even though the likes of Upul Chandana, Kumar Dharmasena and Asanka Gurusinha have a comparatively much lower Career IMPACT, it is important to note that they all were a part of the World Cup-winning team in 1996. In fact, out of the 20 players from this list 11 represented Sri Lanka during their 1996 World Cup campaign.
There are 6 players from the present playing generation who feature in this list which is indicative of both-their relative decline but also their promise.
When it comes to batting, as many as four batsmen from the present playing generation make it to the list, namely- Kumar Sangakarra, Mahela Jayawardene, Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan which goes to show the batting might the current unit possesses. Interestingly, they also form the top four of the current Sri Lankan batting line up.
Sanath Jayasuriya's presence at the top is primarily due to his 8 SDs as a batsman which is actually the second-highest (joint) by a batsman in the history of ODI cricket. His failure rate of 50% is considerably high but is naturally expected with the slam-bang style of play he is associated with. It is also interesting to note that apart from his Strike Rate IMPACT, he doesn't top any of the individual batting parameters for Sri Lanka.
Aravinda de Silva establishes his position as one of the greatest batsmen in Sri Lankan ODI history and as one of the most well-balanced batsman of his generation. He was good in defending, spectacular in launching counter-attacks and extremely calm in pressure situations. It is also revealing that 49% of the time De Silva came in to bat in his ODI career, he was under pressure. He faced pressure in 152 ODI innings (the second-highest for a Sri Lankan batsmen, just one innings short of Jayawardene) and absorbed it successfully 34% of the time. His billing of a big match player can also be understood from the fact that his highest match impact performance actually came in the 1996 World Cup final where he took 3-42 off 9 overs while bowling and followed it up by scoring an unbeaten 107 off 124 balls against Australia to seal the title. It is also the second highest match impact performance (series context) by a Sri Lankan in their ODI history.
One of the biggest revelations on this list is Marvan Atapattu at the 3rd position. Even though he was always considered a classy batsman, he was never seen in the same league as Jayasuriya or de Silva. However, it is really interesting to note that out of the 6 individual batting parameters, Atapattu tops 4 of them for Sri Lanka. Along with his 5 SDs and him being Sri Lanka's most consistent batsman in their ODI history (lowest failure rate - remarkable for a batsman who began his ODI career with 69 runs in 9 innings), Atapattu can be considered as one of the legends of Sri Lankan ODI cricket.
Mahela Jayawardene coming in at no.7 may be a bit of a surprise to some but the fact remains that he has been a relatively inconsistent player in the ODI format compared to his standards in Test cricket. In fact, even though he has three SDs as a batsman, his failure rate of 54% is one of the worst amongst these Sri Lankan batsmen which is a bit surprising given his image of being a reliable batsman for Sri Lanka in the middle-order.
The presence of Upul Tharanga on this list is a positive sign for the future of Sri Lankan cricket. Even though Tharanga doesn't have a single SD to his name, his run scoring propensity (Runs Tally IMPACT) puts him on this list. His combination with Tillakaratne Dilshan (who is placed 6th on this list) at the top of the order has done wonders for Sri Lanka in the recent past and both of them make for a highly promising pair still.
NOTE: If the cut-off is lowered to 50 matches (from 75), Roy Dias (1.42) becomes the tenth-highest impact batsman for Sri Lanka in their history of ODI cricket.
The stories that unfold on various batting parameters are revealing.
When it comes to Runs Tally IMPACT (proportion of match runs made through career), the highest impact batsmen are Kumar Sangakkara, Aravinda De Silva and Marvan Atapattu.
The highest Strike Rate IMPACT batsmen (highest strike rates relative to all the matches in their careers) are Sanath Jayasuriya, Aravinda De Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga.
The best Pressure IMPACT batsmen (those who absorbed the most pressure that came about due to fall of wickets) are Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakkara and Asanka Gurusinha.
The batsmen with the highest Partnership Building IMPACT (who built the most partnerships in the middle) are Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakkara and Aravinda De Silva.
The best Chasing IMPACT batsmen (who registered the highest impact while chasing a target) are Marvan Atapattu, Aravinda De Silva and Arjuna Ranatunga.
The batsmen with the lowest failure rates (a failure is seen in this system as an inability to register an IMPACT of even 1 in a match) are Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakkara and Arjuna Ranatunga.
The Highest Impact Batting Performances in Sri Lanka's ODI history:
1. ST Jayasuriya - 189 off 161 v India, Sharjah, 2000 - Batting IMPACT 16.37
In an exhibition of brutal hitting, Sanath Jayasuriya blasted open the Indian bowling attack in this final encounter of the Coca Cola Champions Trophy in 1999. Jayasuriya's knock came at a time when Sri Lanka were struggling at 116-4 off 28 overs and propelled them to a score of 299 runs. India, in reply, collapsed to the lowest ever score in their ODI history and managed to score only 54 runs. Jayasuriya's innings till date is not only the highest individual score by a Sri Lankan batsman in an ODI innings but is also the highest impact batting performance in the history of ODI cricket.
2. TM Dilshan - 137 not out off 139 v Pakistan, Lahore, 2009 - Batting IMPACT 9.24
Even though Tillakaratne Dilshan wasn't at his usual attacking best in this innings, he made sure that the Sri Lankans didn't lose early wickets under overcast conditions against a competent Pakistani bowling attack and scored 100 off 119 balls (slow by his standards) before teeing off at the end to see Sri Lanka through to a total of 309. In reply, the entire Pakistani team could muster up only 75 runs which eventually saw the series going 2-1 to Sri Lanka's favour.
3. ST Jayasuriya - 125 off 114 v India, Karachi, 2008 - Batting IMPACT 9.11
With Sri Lanka faltering at 66-4 in 12 overs, the much needed change of course in their innings was provided by their veteran opener. Jayasuriya steadied the ship alongwith Dilshan and in his usual aggressive manner gave the Sri Lankan innings a much needed thrust to take them to a total of 275 runs. In reply, India fell short by a margin of 100 runs which resulted in an Asia Cup win for the Lankans.
The above performances are all within the series/tournament context. When it comes to a match context also, Sanath Jayasuriya's above mentioned knock of 189 off 161 balls registers as the highest impact batting performance in the history of Sri Lankan ODI cricket. Sanath Jayasuriya's unbeaten knock of 151 off 120 balls v India (Mumbai, 1997) and Thilan Samaraweera's 104 not out off 124 balls v New Zealand (Colombo, 2009) are the second and the third highest impact batting performances in a match context, respectively.
Aravinda de Silva's twin classics in the knockout stages of the 1996 World Cup - 66 off 63 v India in the semis (after his team was 1 for 2) and 107 off 124 in the final (after his team was 23-2) may not register amongst the peak-highest on the impact scale in a match or series level (as it does not distinguish between World Cups and other tournaments) but in terms of the individual weight of tournament-defining performances, it is emphatically right up there in Sri Lankan ODI cricket history.
Muttiah Muralitharan being the highest impact Sri Lankan ODI bowler is a ho-hum fact, of course. Muralitharan also makes it to the list of the top ten highest impact bowlers (10th place) in the history of ODI cricket. His consistency is unparalleled by any Sri Lankan bowler (lowest failure rate) and is also the third most consistent ODI bowler in the world (after Garner and McGrath). His Partnership Breaking IMPACT is also the second highest in the world (after Martin Snedden). Talking of his big match abilities, he has 5 SDs as a bowler which is also the highest for any spinner in the ODI format and the 5th best for any bowler, overall.
Although many would have expected Vaas to come in at the second place, Lasith Malinga pips him to the 2nd spot on the basis of his wicket taking ability (Wickets Tally IMPACT) for which he is well-known for. Malinga's role as a finisher in the ODI format can also be understood from the fact that he has the second-highest Lower Order Wickets IMPACT (dismissing batsmen from nos. 8-11) in the world (after Saqlain Mushtaq). It is also interesting to note that even though many consider Malinga as a highly restrictive bowler, his Economy IMPACT in the ODI format is actually in the negative zone.
Chaminda Vaas' popular image of being a highly consistent bowler is well brought out from the fact that he is actually the second most consistent bowler for Sri Lanka in the ODI format (after Muralitharan). His tally of 3 SDs as a bowler is also the highest by any Sri Lankan pacer and proves his legacy in the ODI format.
The emergence of Nuwan Kulasekara onto the international scene has been highly impressive and with the passage of time he has transformed himself into a genuine wicket-taking bowler for Sri Lanka during the opening overs. His new ball partnership with Malinga is one of the things to look out for in the near future and even though he has had a brief career of only 118 ODIs, he already has 2 SDs in his account which also shows his ability to perform in big-match situations.
Kumar Dharmasena is best remembered as a lanky off-spinner supporting Muttiah Muralitharan during Sri Lanka's '96 World Cup campaign and was one of the four spinners deployed by Sri Lanka during that phase. Dharmasena's crucial contributions often got camouflaged under Muralitharan's brilliance but his restrictive abilities along with his ability to break partnerships during the middle-overs made him the target-man for Ranatunga to go to. Even though his ODI career was limited to only 142 matches, he still has 2 SDs to his name which just goes on to show the value of his performances to the Lankan national team.
Even though players like Dilhara Fernando, Farveez Maharoof, Nuwan Zoysa and Upul Chandana have given performances from time to time for the Lankan national team, it is their inconsistency (relatively poor failure rates) as a bowler which has more often than not cost their place in the team. The four of them combined have only 2 SDs and even though they were always a part of the bigger picture (supporting Muralitharan, Vaas) they failed to step up individually as strike bowlers when required.
NOTE: If the cut-off is lowered to 50 matches (from 75), Ajantha Mendis (2.19) becomes the second-highest impact bowler for Sri Lanka in their history of ODI cricket. It is also baffling to see the selectors ignore him consistently for the national team despite his high impact performances.
The highest impact players in all bowling parameters are quite revealing.
When it comes to Top/Middle-order Wickets Tally IMPACT (wickets taken from nos. 1-7 in most cases), the highest impact bowlers are Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas.
Lower-order Wickets Tally IMPACT (batsmen nos. 8-11) - highest impact bowlers are Lasith Malinga, Muttiah Muralitharan and Upul Chandana.
The highest Economy IMPACT bowlers (lowest economy rates relative to all the matches in their careers) are Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas and Kumar Dharmasena.
The highest impact Partnership-breaking bowlers are Muttiah Muralitharan, Kumar Dharmasena and Sanath Jayasuriya.
The bowlers with the highest Pressure Building IMPACT (taking quick wickets to put opposition under pressure) are Muttiah Muralitharan, Lasith Malinga and Farveez Maharoof.
The bowlers with the lowest failure rate (a failure is seen in this system as an inability to register an IMPACT of even 1 in a match) are Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas and Lasith Malinga.
Top 3 Bowling Innings (Series/tournament context):
1. BAW Mendis - 6 for 13 in 8 overs v India, Karachi, 2008 - Bowling IMPACT 8.71
After Jayasuriya had initially played a breathtaking knock of 125 runs to boost the Sri Lankan total to 275 runs, Mendis drove in all the final nails in the coffin to wrest away the initiative Sehwag had generated for India. With Sehwag going blitzkrieg at one end (60 off 36 balls) and India at 76-1 after 9 overs, Sri Lanka needed a break-through which was duly provided by Ajantha Mendis. He prised open the entire Indian middle-order alongwith the wicket of Sehwag and by the time he had finished India were tottering at 154-8 off 32 overs with their chances of winning the Asia Cup gone.
2. WPUJC Vaas - 5 for 14 in 9.3 overs v India, Sharjah, 2000 - Bowling IMPACT 7.73
Chasing 300, India had earlier been tormented by a Jayasuriya classic and to their misery and dismay had to endure the brilliance of Chaminda Vaas' bowling display in the second half. Vaas took out the Indian top four in his first spell of 4 overs to reduce them to 18-4 before coming back to finish off the match to give a thumping 245 runs victory to Sri Lanka.
3. M Muralitharan - 5 for 34 in 10 overs v England, London, 1998 - Bowling IMPACT 7.19
With England getting off to a solid start, thanks to their opening partnership of 132 runs between Nick Knight and Michael Atherton, Muttiah Muralitharan was brought into the attack to stifle the English batting line-up. He did more than that as he picked out 5 of the top 6 English batsmen and eventually restricted them to a total of 256 runs. In reply, Sri Lanka chased down the target with 5 wickets in hand and in the process sealed the Emirates Triangular Tournament in their favour.
The above performances are all within the series/tournament context. When it comes to a match context, Farveez Maharoof's 6-14 v West Indies (Mumbai, 2006) registers as the highest impact bowling performance in the history of Sri Lankan ODI cricket. Muttiah Muralitharan's 7-30 v India (Sharjah, 2000) and his 5-9 v New Zealand (Sharjah, 2002) are the second and the third highest impact bowling performances in a match context, respectively.

Advances in technology, changing demands and tighter budgets are shifting the objective and goals in the meetings industry. In their pursuit of creating memorable experiences, hoteliers are getting more creative to deliver more personalised experiences for delegates.
Large conferences of the past are being traded in for several smaller meetings mainly for their intimate opportunity to connect.
Smaller rooms, home-style settings, networking spaces and a peek at the great outdoors are features that will mark the design of meeting rooms of the future to meet the rising demand of participants with their busier schedules and higher expectations.
For meetings to be able to engage participants’ senses and create experiences that leave lasting high impact impressions, the experiential strategy works for even the simplest meeting. Experiential meetings and events aren’t about creating content for participants to consume, they are about creating opportunities to participate and engage. Here’s how:
Experience creation is the key
The experiential meeting should be designed with the participants’ engagement in mind with every component of the meeting adding up to an opportunity to create lasting impressions.
Get creative with the venue
Help shape the custom experience by offering meeting rooms that are designed to foster creativity, themed food and beverage, and ice-breakers. Also offer outdoor meeting room designs or spaces as well as other physical spaces and activities that promote team building.
Provide a breakout space
Creating an engaging meeting place often means carving out non-traditional areas in the hotel lobby or F&B areas for pop-up opportunities, as lobbies are becoming more activated by people hanging out in them more often.
High quality Internet access is vital
No doubt the hotel’s interior design plays an integral part in the experiential experience, the priority is to be connected by providing high-quality broadband Internet facilities.
Flexible meeting space and room design requires furniture and equipment that allows for multiple flexible layouts. This calls for casual furniture, communal tables, creative partitions and lounge areas. The same goes for movable and portable equipment, charging stations, interactive white boards and other essential tools.
Refreshment breaks mean business
Pay a high degree of importance on the refreshment breaks by implementing more initiatives around health and wellness. Try introducing locally sourced finger foods that allow participants to freely move about the space and mingle with others.
Provide adequate lighting
Light, space and air quality are always going to be among the top priorities that are important to people as these aspects will definitely affect their experience.
Make it interactive
Experiential meetings are not passive, participants want to do just that – participate. They want to be able to take what they hear from speakers and peers and apply it to their work and life.
So whether it is the environmental design of the conference, the sessions that make up the learning component, or the entertainment that happens after hours, each should create an experience that delivers on the promise to help participants connect, learn, and share. If we do not deliver an experience that fulfills that promise, then we are not doing our job.

DEC 01, 2017
Researchers in Germany have implanted the human eye with a micro-sensor, called Eyemate™, that can continuously monitor IOP in patients with glaucoma. The feat marks the first time the miniature device has been tested in humans.
The sensor can be implanted during cataract, glaucoma or corneal surgery. Patients use a handheld device to obtain IOP measurements and transmit the data to their eye care specialist.
“This opens up the path to proceed forward towards design finalization, expanded clinical validation and regulatory approval,” says Max Ostermeier, CEO of Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH, which developed the device.
According to Implandata, the system’s chief advantage is that it measures IOP wherever necessary, and does not require patients to obtain measurements at the doctor’s office. But the micro-sensor also boasts another advantage: Eyemate requires a surgical incision of < 2.7 mm, far smaller than the 4-mm slit required to place currently available implants.
“Reduction of incision size is one major advancement; easier insertion and positioning of the micro-sensor another benefit. In eye surgery, less invasive methods mean lower risk of surgical or post-surgical complications, resulting in higher surgeons’ acceptance,” says Prof. Burkhard Dick, director of the University Eye Hospital of Bochum, Germany, who carried out the first-in-human validation studies.
The device received the European CE mark of approval in June. Implandata plans to introduce the sensor to European markets in 2018.

We were very happy with the accommodation. Beautiful view and above all quiet. Modern bathroom and comfortable beds. The kitchen could have been a little better equipped, a pot and a pan were not enough for me. Otherwise, there was soap, washing-up liquid, rags, and kitchen towels. We felt very comfortable in the apartment, which was very clean! The pool was great. The beach is just a 5-minute walk away!

With a bucket and chuck it system, you can simply pour the mixed pee and poop waste contents of your toilet onto a pile of compostable material and then cover it with more material and let nature do its thing. This is a common method of composting your waste in a permaculture way. Joe Jenkins has a nice system for doing just that. It is, however, impractical for use on a 1/4 acre residential lot, simply because of the size and the amount of compostable material needed to create thermophilic composting in the winter time. It also doesn’t have a means to sort out and manage any waste that may be suspected of being unhealthy, that is to say, waste that comes from a person who is demonstrably ill or suspected of being so. You need a processor that allows you to separate and process unhealthy waste more aggressively and cleanly as well as one that allows you to take advantage of the useful properties of your poop and pee separately.
The BoonJon garden system of waste management separates the pee from the poop from the mixing medium. You might ask yourself, why would you go to all this trouble. Well, with today’s mindset or should I say abject fear of human waste, you probably wouldn’t. But if you are interested in practicing a permaculture lifestyle or if you want to prepare for some economic or natural disaster, or if you are just curious about being self sufficient, then it is definitely beneficial to be able to manage your waste more scientifically. It may be desirable to be able to utilize the urine separately for fertilizing purposes. This is best done by keeping it in its liquid state and then mixing it with water to dilute it. In its undiluted state, urine can be stored in plastic jugs or pales and allowed to age if desired and it can be piped to the areas needing fertilization for maximization of its potential and control of any smell. This can be done using an inexpensive system of buckets, PVC pipe and concrete blocks. More on the BoonJon garden waste management system in another article.
So why not just bury the poop in your compost. You can and you can feed it to your black soldier flies, but these methods rely on a long term breakdown of any pathogens. I would argue that for a little bit more work, you can assure yourself that the danger is eliminated. This system, if adopted widely in a community would eliminate the spread of pathogens and parasites that use poop as a disease vector. If enough people would adopt it here in America, then it would become obvious that most of the third world could benefit immensely from using this system.
In addition to being able to use your pee and poop productively, you can recycle the medium as well. In situations where medium is difficult to come by or economy is desired for whatever reason, this is a superior system. Once the medium and the waste are separated by sifting and once the medium is exposed to heat and UV rays and further dehydration, there is no reason it can’t be recycled and used again. It saves on having to buy or make medium and if you are mixing additives to it, like diatomaceous earth or coco coir, then it extends the useful life of those amendments many times over, especially diatomaceous earth which is a non-toxic, non-biodegradable insecticide. Reusing medium that contains DE will help eliminate insects as a disease carrying vector. Oral-fecal transmission is commonly spread due to poor hygiene, but before you think that it will never happen to you, consider that if you have ever had gastritis, (AKA the Hershey Squirts) there is a good chance that somehow you got poop in your mouth somewhere.
The solid waste should be processed as soon as it comes out of the toilet. Using a system of stages of “treatments”, you first want to dehydrate the solid waste by exposing it to the ambient air and temperatures. In the summer as well as in the winter, the solid waste will dry out almost completely in about a week using a BoonJon dehydrator. This removal of the moisture in the waste is the first attack on any dangerous pathogens. Since most bacteria and parasites that harm the human body need to live in an atmosphere that resembles the ambient state of the body, they will die of dehydration if allowed to dry out, just as would a human in the desert. This initial step will kill most or all of the harmful bacteria in a weeks time. The other factor that the dehydrator brings in is heat. The dehydrator has or should have a black exterior and if set where it gets large amounts of sunlight, the heat inside will rise significantly, often well over a 110 degrees Fahrenheit. or 38 degrees Celsius. Even at this small elevation, few organisms can survive more than a few hours or days at this temperature including parasites like round worm or hookworm.
A key part to your BoonJon garden is the dehydrator and storage hot box. Each represents a stage in processing solid waste to make it completely safe in short order. The dehydrator can be made from parts that are easily gotten at any large home improvement store.
You need the following item.
- Plastic trash bin (here)
- 8″ x 8″ x 8″ concrete block (here) or an empty gallon paint can
- 12″ x 18″ x 3/4″ plywood base plate
- 5-gallon plastic tub (here)
- Metal grating from a small barbecue grill (optional) (here)
- Plastic milk crate with approximately 1″ square holes in the bottom
- 3 or 4″ PVC drain flange
- 3 or 4″ PVC plastic elbow
- 6″ PVC plastic drain grate
Cut a 4-inch ventilation hole in the top of the lid and a 6-inch hole in the back side of the plastic trash bin and attach the appropriate drain flange and drain grate with screws as shown below.
Set the concrete block or a paint can in the bottom of the plastic trash bin and place the wooden base on top of it. Place the 5-gallon tote on top of that and the metal grating on top of that. Finally place the milk crate on top of that. You can make a similar sized wooden box with a wire mesh bottom or line the sides inside of the crate with plywood to help direct the medium into the tote below.
The metal grating (not shown above) is optional but does make balancing the milk crate on top of the tote easier. I used one that came from a small barbecue set that I got rid of. Ever the pack rat, it seemed like it would have some good use in the future and it did. You can buy a 4-foot section of metal upper shelving pretty cheaply at Lowe’s and cut it down in size to fit. Now you are pretty much ready to do.
Empty the contents of the solid waste bucket directly into the milk crate and sift out the medium by shaking the crate from side to side.
Now watching your poop rise out of the medium is kind of gross but it will accelerate the drying process significantly if exposed directly to the air. If you don’t want to watch this operation close the dehydrator and shake it front to back. Some medium will find itself down into the bottom or the trash bin and you will have to occasionally empty it out, maybe once or twice a year. If you want to deter insects like roaches, add diatomaceous earth to your medium. I suggest doing this with any medium that you are using in any 1/4 acre lot BoonJon garden, permaculture type application. It won’t hurt anything if you don’t, but watching roaches scurrying around in the bottom of the trash bin is always a turn off. On the other hand, if you are a Buddhist, you may want to just leave them alone. Just another lowly creature trying to scratch out a living.
The C-Head toilet is designed for two adults. If used in this capacity, it should take about a week before it needs emptying. Two adults and two small kids, a little more every 5 days. Every week empty the toilet into the dehydrator and rotate the waste from the toilet to the dehydrator to the hot box. In one week you will have waste that can be handled much more safely. I have no qualms about handling the contents of the dehydrator with bare hands but if you are squeamish, use barbecue tongs. Leave them inside the dehydrator for storage. Your poop will resemble rock hard dirt clods at this point. Don’t handle your dehydrated waste in front of your crazy neighbors unless they are on the same page as you. Nothing remains behind on your hands. Wash your hands afterwards for peace of mind.
Which brings us to the hot box. The hot box does what the dehydrator does but for a much longer period and much more intensely. You might ask, why not just use the hot box from the get-go. Well you can if you are not wanting to recycle the medium or you can build a bigger sifter (see this cool video) and just wait and sift it all at once. But if you use the trash bin BoonJon dehydrator, it gives you more options for using your poop in a more timely, permaculture manner. For example, you can actually make portable rocket mass heaters out of used medium for heating your greenhouse during winter cold snaps. You can also save the medium for reuse but burn some of the poop to ash for composting or if you want to speed compost the poop you can crush it up with a tamper and mix it with your current active compost tower to expedite the process and expose the waste to thermophilic heat. So the dehydrator can be a good tool to have.

Angela: Sugar cravings can be hard when you are teaching your body not to eat sugar anymore. Here are 3 awesome steps that will help you beat them for good:
This dietary supplement stops sugar cravings in their tracks by stabilising blood sugar levels. Glutamine is an amino acid. Amino acids are building blocks of protein and can also help with fixing the ‘kitchen sink’ (our digestive system) too.
Stu: I use a vegetable based L-Glutamine (half a teaspoon in water) on a empty stomach. I do this every day as it helps muscle recovery, fix a leaky gut and stops cravings for sweet/starches.
Try taking a tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil and have a potter around, I guarantee you won’t need anything else. If the taste isn’t your thing you can mix it up with a little raw cacao for a tasty chocolate treat.
Learn more here about the health benefits of coconut oil.
Is know in India as gurmar meaning ‘destroyer of sugar’ as it suppresses the ability to detect sweet tastes. Natural clinicians in India for centuries have used gymnema to balance blood sugar levels.
The product I like best is MediHerb ‘Gymnema 4g’ which is a practitioner only product. If you contact a Nutritionist or a Naturopath they will be able to prescribe for you.
You can purchase from the high street just be mindful that the strength and quality will vary.
Here are some snack/drink ideas that can fill the spot instead:
- Snack on fat and protein: Fuel your body and brain with avocados, nuts and seeds (activated if you have digestive issues), tahani/humous and veggie sticks, boiled egg, apple and nut butter, greek yogurt, chia seeds and berries, 180 smoothies, chia puddings, the list is endless…
- Kombucha: If you are craving fizzy drinks kombucha will do the trick instead. Not only is it low in sugar but good for gut health and aids in digestion. You can buy in any good health shops or make your own. I make my own, it’s so easy and the kids love it too!
- Hydration: Have a glass of water and make sure that you aren’t just thirsty. Some people mistake thirst as hunger.
- Cuppa: Try a cup of licorice root tea. It’s sweet and will hit the spot and an added bonus – it’s also good for digestive issues.
- Hot chocolate: I’m not talking about the commercial kind full of sugar. I’m talking about 180 chocolate full of protein and good fats:
– 1 scoop 180 Nutrition Protein Superfood – chocolate flavour
– 1 teaspoon coconut oil
– 1/2 teaspoon rice malt syrup
– 1/2 teaspoon maca powder
– sprinkle of cinnamon
– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Are you ready to cut out sugar once & for all?
Then try our 14 day cleanse, it’s different to other cleanse packages, why…
Our weekly podcast ‘The Health Sessions’ allow us to engage with the world’s best experts, challenge conventional thinking and share our discoveries along the way. It’s here that we have outlined the best available information on the topics of digestive health, weight loss, energy, sleep and stress management. This is so much more than a standard high street cleanse.

Perfection is a small old style family milk bar that happens to make hand made chocolates. Perfection is the best kept local secret, even though in years past, many of the world's most famous celebrities have visited there and signed endorsements. There are many varieties in milk and dark, but their chocolate creams (dark is best) are the most unusual on the world stage; and come in a huge assortment of flavours from rose water and banana to peppermint. There are loose packs like macadamia, almond, hazelnut, honeycomb, marshmallow....dark and milk ....and many bars too - go to their website or call them. I am not in any way involved with the company - just a world chocolate specialist lover who has been a Perfection fan for decades.

Courtships of Remington Arms may not be too serious
When New York state passed "the toughest gun control laws in the nation" on Jan. 15, concern arose in a small upstate New York town built around a gun manufacturing company.
That anxiety has only heightened in the past two weeks as several states have made overtures to the owner of Remington Arms to encourage the company to leave Ilion.
In his letter, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan, a Republican, wrote "the enemies of freedom are waging an all-out assault on the Second Amendment to the Constitution." He goes on to say his state has a better climate for both manufacturing and gun rights.
"I think any elected official sending a communication to the company that finds its way into the public domain right now is just a (public relations) stunt," says Greg LeRoy, executive director of Good Jobs First, a nonprofit organization that tracks government subsidies and promotes accountability in economic development.
LeRoy says these lawmakers are simply seizing on an opportunity to look tough on jobs. And just because lawmakers have reached out to Remington, it doesn’t mean talks are happening or incentive packages are being pieced together.
The letter sent from Michigan legislators directed company officials to contact its economic development agency. When reached, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation was unaware the letter had even been sent.
"Cause for concern"
That doesn't mean all these suitors haven't got the people in the tight-knit Mohawk Valley community of Ilion worried.
"Certainly when you have congressmen from other states reaching out to companies, I think that, at a minimum, is a cause for concern; a cause for anxiety," says Mark Feane, the head of the Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency, an economic development body for the county that’s been the home of Remington Arms for nearly 200 years.
"With us having the toughest gun laws and their being recruited by other states, it would be foolish not to be concerned with that and we certainly are," Feane says.
He and other local economic development officials and politicians have vowed to stand up to fight and keep Remington in Ilion. That includes Republican Rep. Richard Hanna, of Barneveld, who said in a statement "I look forward to working with New York state leaders to see that Remington stays here for generations to come."
Feane says he hasn't had any luck getting in touch with the Freedom Group.
This isn’t the first time other states have tried to entice Remington out of New York. However in his 15 years working with the union that represents Remington workers, Frank ‘Rusty’ Brown says this is the most serious the outside interest has been.
"This has become a real threat to our jobs," he says.
Remington employs more than 1,200 people in Ilion. The factory produces several lines of guns, including the Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle, now banned from being sold in New York under the new laws, known as the NY SAFE Act.
"Evaluating its options"
Remington will still be allowed to make assault rifles and export them to other states as well as sell them through military and law enforcement contracts.
Freedom Group has been silent on its future. The company has not returned several requests for comment. It told the local Utica Observer-Dispatch it’s “carefully evaluating its options.”
Over the past five years, the state’s Empire State Development Corporation has given Freedom Group $5.5 million to consolidate operations from Connecticut and Massachusetts in Ilion. That allowed the plant to nearly double its workforce.
But New York wouldn’t be able to use the generosity of those grants as leverage to keep Remington in the state if ownership gets serious about leaving, according to an Empire State Development official, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue.
The official says job requirements tied to the grants, which were mostly given out from 2009-2011, have been fulfilled. The official also noted the money was given out during previous administrations, hinting Gov. Andrew Cuomo may have a different attitude toward gun subsidies.
Greg LeRoy, of Good Jobs First, says those generous grants are all the more reason Remington should stay right where it is.

|250.10||Notice of intent to proffer psychiatric evidence; examination of defendant upon application of prosecutor.|
|250.20||Notice of alibi.|
|250.30||Notice of defenses in offenses involving computers.|
|250.40||Notice of intent to seek death penalty.|
S 250.10 Notice of intent to proffer psychiatric evidence; examination of defendant upon application of prosecutor. 1. As used in this section, the term "psychiatric evidence" means: (a) Evidence of mental disease or defect to be offered by the defendant in connection with the affirmative defense of lack of criminal responsibility by reason of mental disease or defect. (b) Evidence of mental disease or defect to be offered by the defendant in connection with the affirmative defense of extreme emotional disturbance as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision one of section 125.25 of the penal law and paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section 125.27 of the penal law. (c) Evidence of mental disease or defect to be offered by the defendant in connection with any other defense not specified in the preceding paragraphs. 2. Psychiatric evidence is not admissible upon a trial unless the defendant serves upon the people and files with the court a written notice of his intention to present psychiatric evidence. Such notice must be served and filed before trial and not more than thirty days after entry of the plea of not guilty to the indictment. In the interest of justice and for good cause shown, however, the court may permit such service and filing to be made at any later time prior to the close of the evidence. 3. When a defendant, pursuant to subdivision two of this section, serves notice of intent to present psychiatric evidence, the district attorney may apply to the court, upon notice to the defendant, for an order directing that the defendant submit to an examination by a psychiatrist or licensed psychologist as defined in article one hundred fifty-three of the education law designated by the district attorney. If the application is granted, the psychiatrist or psychologist designated to conduct the examination must notify the district attorney and counsel for the defendant of the time and place of the examination. Defendant has a right to have his counsel present at such examination. The district attorney may also be present. The role of each counsel at such examination is that of an observer, and neither counsel shall be permitted to take an active role at the examination. 4. After the conclusion of the examination, the psychiatrist or psychologist must promptly prepare a written report of his findings and evaluation. A copy of such report must be made available to the district attorney and to the counsel for the defendant. No transcript or recording of the examination is required, but if one is made, it shall be made available to both parties prior to the trial. 5. If the court finds that the defendant has willfully refused to cooperate fully in the examination ordered pursuant to subdivision three of this section it may preclude introduction of testimony by a psychiatrist or psychologist concerning mental disease or defect of the defendant at trial. Where, however, the defendant has other proof of his affirmative defense, and the court has found that the defendant did not submit to or cooperate fully in the examination ordered by the court, this other evidence, if otherwise competent, shall be admissible. In such case, the court must instruct the jury that the defendant did not submit to or cooperate fully in the pre-trial psychiatric examination ordered by the court pursuant to subdivision three of this section and that such failure may be considered in determining the merits of the affirmative defense. S 250.20 Notice of alibi. 1. At any time, not more than twenty days after arraignment, the people may serve upon the defendant or his counsel, and file a copy thereof with the court, a demand that if the defendant intends to offer a trial defense that at the time of the commission of the crime charged he was at some place or places other than the scene of the crime, and to call witnesses in support of such defense, he must, within eight days of service of such demand, serve upon the people, and file a copy thereof with the court, a "notice of alibi," reciting (a) the place or places where the defendant claims to have been at the time in question, and (b) the names, the residential addresses, the places of employment and the addresses thereof of every such alibi witness upon whom he intends to rely. For good cause shown, the court may extend the period for service of the notice. 2. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the defendant`s witness list but not later than ten days before trial, the people must serve upon the defendant or his counsel, and file a copy thereof with the court, a list of the witnesses the people propose to offer in rebuttal to discredit the defendant`s alibi at the trial together with the residential addresses, the places of employment and the addresses thereof of any such rebuttal witnesses. A witness who will testify that the defendant was at the scene of the crime is not such an alibi rebuttal witness. For good cause shown, the court may extend the period for service of the list of witnesses by the people. 3. If at the trial the defendant calls such an alibi witness without having served the demanded notice of alibi, or if having served such a notice he calls a witness not specified therein, the court may exclude any testimony of such witness relating to the alibi defense. The court may in its discretion receive such testimony, but before doing so, it must, upon application of the people, grant an adjournment not in excess of three days. 4. Similarly, if the people fail to serve and file a list of any rebuttal witnesses, the provisions of subdivision three, above, shall reciprocally apply. 5. Both the defendant and the people shall be under a continuing duty to promptly disclose the names and addresses of additional witnesses which come to the attention of either party subsequent to filing their witness lists as provided in this section. S 250.30 Notice of defenses in offenses involving computers. 1. In any prosecution in which the defendant seeks to invoke any of the defenses specified in section 156.50 of the penal law, the defendant must within forty-five days after arraignment and not less than twenty days before the commencement of the trial serve upon the people and file with the court a written notice of his intention to present such defense. For good cause shown, the court may extend the period for service of the notice. 2. The notice served must specify the subdivision or subdivisions upon which the defendant relies and must also state the reasonable grounds that led the defendant to believe that he had the authorization required by the statute or the right required by the statute to engage in such conduct. 3. If at the trial the defendant seeks to invoke any of the defenses specified in section 156.50 of the penal law without having served the notice as required, or seeks to invoke a subdivision or a ground not specified in the notice, the court may exclude any testimony or evidence in regard to the defense, or any subdivision or ground, not noticed. The court may in its discretion, for good cause shown, receive such testimony or evidence, but before doing so, it may, upon application of the people, grant an adjournment. S 250.40 Notice of intent to seek death penalty. 1. A sentence of death may not be imposed upon a defendant convicted of murder in the first degree unless, pursuant to subdivision two of this section, the people file with the court and serve upon the defendant a notice of intent to seek the death penalty. 2. In any prosecution in which the people seek a sentence of death, the people shall, within one hundred twenty days of the defendant`s arraignment upon an indictment charging the defendant with murder in the first degree, serve upon the defendant and file with the court in which the indictment is pending a written notice of intention to seek the death penalty. For good cause shown the court may extend the period for service and filing of the notice. 3. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, where the people file a notice of intent to seek the death penalty pursuant to this section the defendant shall be entitled to an additional sixty days for the purpose of filing new motions or supplementing pending motions. 4. A notice of intent to seek the death penalty may be withdrawn at any time by a written notice of withdrawal filed with the court and served upon the defendant. Once withdrawn the notice of intent to seek the death penalty may not be refiled. Top of Page

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is safe and effective for easing persistent lower urinary tract symptoms after failed prior surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), researchers concluded.
Investigators at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., led by Amy E. Krambeck, MD, identified 37 patients who underwent HoLEP for persistent lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after having had previous transurethral prostate surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (group I). These patients were matched according to preoperative prostate size to 74 patients who underwent HoLEP but did not have prior surgery (group II).
Results showed that both groups had significant and similar improvements in peak flow rate and post-void residual (PVR). The mean peak flow rate rose from 10.4 at baseline to 23.4 mL/sec postoperatively in group I and from 7.5 to 26.9 mL/sec in group II, Dr. Krambeck’s group reported online ahead of print in Urology. The PVR decreased from 200 to 50.9 mL in group I and from 311 to 50.3 mL in group II.
The mean American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUASI) scores were improved in both groups, but group II had a significantly lower score.
The two groups were similar with respect to resected tissue weight and enucleation time as well as adverse event rates, the investigators noted. All patients were urinating at last follow-up (mean 18.4 and 15.1 months, a non-significant difference).
“Our study demonstrates similar efficacy and incidence of complications regardless of prior transurethral prostate surgery, and a history of surgery should not preclude using HoLEP for recurrent LUTS associated with adenomatous regrowth,” the study authors concluded.

The Islands, they are a world within themselves. Walking the beaches and looking out at the vast blueness, one forgets their troubles and worries. Laying under the swaying palms and feeling the warm ocean breezes, one comes to the full realization why this is called paradise. Then a coconut hits you on the head, you realize your credit cards are maxed-out and reality gives you that all-to-familiar bitch-slap!
I created this recipe when I was island-hopping the Caribbean, being fired from one job after the other. I blame Captain Morgan for my Caribbean demise. I also blame Jimmy Buffett because without Jimmy Buffett there wouldn't have been Captain Morgan and without Captain Morgan, there wouldn't have been Jimmy Buffett. Yes, it was a vicious circle of rum, waves and tropical transgressions!
So I was working at this dank little beach eatery when the Chef threw some bananas at me and said "make something." It was a rare sober moment and I created Banana Nirvana. The only difference between the original and this dish, is that when I decided it was time to grow-up and open my own place in San Francisco, I added cherries to this dish right before its presentation.
The real key to this dish is not cooking the bananas! You just want to heat them through so they keep that wonderful banana texture and not that phlegm texture most cooked banana dishes have which is nothing short of disgusting!
Ingredients needed to make Banana Nirvana with Coconut Mango Cream:
- 2 bananas, peeled and halved
- 1 mango, peeled, pitted and pureed
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 2 Tbs. honey
- 1/2 cup cherries, pitted and quartered
- grated lime zest
- Squeeze some lime juice over the bananas to keep them from browning (oxidizing).
- Into a medium saute pan or skillet, heat the coconut milk, nutmeg and honey over medium heat just to the point where it begins to simmer.
- Add the bananas and remove the pan from the heat. Let the bananas heat through 5 minutes.
- Spoon some of the coconut/mango cream onto serving plate. Place 2 pieces of banana onto the plates and add some cherries.
- Just before serving grate some lime zest over the dish.
The new cookbook from Chef Larry Edwards, "Edwardian Cooking: The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook" is now available worldwide and features 80 dishes from the era of the most acclaimed television show in the history of PBS, Downton Abbey.

Musashi Ariadust Academy 2nd Special Agent
|Name in Japanese||キヨナリ・ウルキアガ|
|Romaji Translation||Kiyonari Urukiaga|
|Chat Handle Name||Ukii (ウキー)|
|Debut (Light Novel)||Volume 1A|
|Debut (Anime)||Season 1 Episode 01: Those Lined Up Before the Horizon|
|Appears in||Light Novels, Anime|
|Voice Actor (Japanese)||Takaya Kuroda|
|Occupation||Student (Musashi Ariadust Academy)|
|Affiliation/s||Musashi Ariadust Academy Chancellor Board (2nd Special Agent)|
|Specialty||Anti-Heretic abilities (Inquisition Weapon User)|
Kiyonari Urquiaga (キヨナリ・ウルキアガ, Kiyonari Urukiaga) is student of Musashi Ariadust Academy, the 2nd Special Agent of the Chancellor Board in charge of Judicatory Duties (裁判, Saiban). An aerial-type half-dragon aiming to be an inquisition officer. A guy with a very imposing and impulsive personality.
He labels himself as one in charge of older sister-type characters in eroge, unbecoming of his large stature and muscular build.
At first glance he appears to be a large mechanic-dragon which is partially accurate. The reason is because Kiyonari wears a sort of aerial-type armor that permits him to fly and engage in close-quarters combat quickly. As is logical with a Half-Dragon, he has a big, robust build with an height of 2m 10cm (2m 53 with wings) and armored shell that covers his whole body.
Like a traditional RPG dragon he can speak in human-tongue and, as confirmed in later novels, has the ability to turn into an attractive-looking gray-haired young man, an ability shared by his race to make easier reproductive matters.
Urquiaga is a impetuous, brash, hotheaded and perverted individual who does not spares any efforts to show his fetish to the world. His ideal kind of woman are "big sisters" and his preferred breast size is "medium".
He also is a catholic and as his job as inquisitor dictates, considers that heretics must be punished, so he knows numerous torture methods to make his tasks easier. Sometimes, like with Nicholas Bacon, he mixes both (his fetish and his inquisitorial tasks), proclaiming that the protestant boy sins are "you lack a big sister" and "you're not the younger brother of a big sister".
He never aims his religious zeal to his classmates (most of them are of Shinto religion) and he does not consider them heretics. To Urquiaga, "heretics" and "people of different faiths" are different. Heretics were people who, while being of the Tsirch Church twisted the teachings of the Catholic Church and spread them, turning into people who could no longer be saved. But people of different faiths were people who were not of the Tsirch Church but another doctrine, so they are people who could probably be saved were they to know the true faith. Also, he's a good friend of Toori Aoi, Tenzou Crossunite, Ginji Ohiroshiki, Toussaint Neshinbara and Noriki.
Urquiaga's family dates back from an old lineage of the Tres España inquisitors, explaining his spanish surname and his religious inclinations. His clan was well established, but because of over-hunting and recreation of the Protestant Reformation starting the generation before his parents, they were no longer able to support themselves and at the end were exiled to Musashi. Now, his parents are making and selling bedclothes at the third underground floor of Oume, but custom-made beds had become part of his family's repertoire, and had become popular amongst the type of people who say: "The restraints are good when they're tight."
Urquiaga, following his parents, thought that he wanted to perform the job that passed his ancestors' techniques down until now, and he chose to take Catholic Inquisition classes all the afternoons, wanting someday to become a renowned inquisitor officer.

Urquiaga as a Half-Dragon have a physique suited to fighting, with his own body wrapped in scales, shell and armor that turns his members into striking weapons. He can also accelerate and fly for short periods, making him pretty fast at charges and quick assaults against the enemy, being always one of the first-liners in combat.
As an trainee inquisitor, Kiyonari utilizes his torture tools as weapons against those who he considers "heretics". For example, during his training battle with the teacher Oriotorai he does not uses them against her as he considers that they are not meant to use against Shinto practicioners, but against Galileo (in a dive attack combination with Noriki) or Nicholas Bacon, he uses the tools as he considers them heretics.
As a half-dragon, his innate strength and resistance makes him able to resist William Cecil "weight distribution" gravitational force, making him able to move slowly as seen during TRUMPS assault at Musashi. The resilence of his natural armor is so great that he's able to break the speed of sound without suffering any damage.
- Racial Ability: Dragon Breath ("竜砲" 【ドラゴンブレス】, "Ryūhō" Doragonburesu): A common feature of both the Dragon and Half-Dragon races. The latter use by creating explosive accelerations and fly for short periods of time by readjusting into a airborn jet position and releasing the compressed air taken into the body through their wings.

- Tool: Spinning Virgin, "Taladro Maria" (旋回聖母 【タラトロ・マリア】, Senkai Seibo "Taratoro Maria") - Inquisition Kit Item #337. Apprehension chains #11. The chain's counterweight is a statue shaped after a drill kicking Virgin.
- Tool: Heel of the Virgin, "Maria Tacon" (聖母の踵 【マリア・タコン】, Seibo no Kakato "Maria Takon") - Inquisition Kit Item #311. A 1m brass hammer with the head shaped after a heel kicking Virgin. Urquiaga is in possesion of sixteen of those concealed in his sleeves.

Ok, guys, all the disclaimers apply, that means all thanks goes to Marvel
For the X-Men, I'm just making the story. And I do read all the other
Stories and they're great, keep up the good work. They inspire me!
As I landed in the abandoned warehouse, I found myself looking around for something. I knew something was here because this is where the Masters of Evil had been holed up when I saw my mother's body.
Dark me put his hand around my arm, "It's almost time for us to rest." He said.
"How do I...I mean, can it be done?" I asked.
"Yes." Dark me said, "I know you can feel it too. She isn't dead. Never was."
"What, but the machine brought her back..." I said with disbelief.
"The machine did no such thing. It was all a ploy to get you to do what they wanted and now that they're gone, you can do what you want. And this IS what we want." Dark me smiled, "You've always known. Even I could feel her astral signature."
"This'll drain me, won't it?" I asked.
"For a long time." Dark me said, "You'll be a normal guy. You'll be able to live."
"Then why are you helping me?" I asked, "This will make you go away, so why would you help me?"
"You have to feel that you fit." He said, "Only then can we be I."
I walked to my mother and looked down at her frozen features. How do I heal her? Suddenly there was energy from my hands, then...nothing.

5 Years Later...
"Pane, you not gonna be me!" Rae, my 5 year old little cousin said as she sped past me. I smirked and ran after her, catching her and playfully wrestling her to the ground. She held onto the ball like a pro and I couldn't help but smile. She had been born just after me and my mother had come back home. I was happy. Happier than I had been and right now I was at a family reunion. They were the only ones who knew that I was still alive and my mom had taken the time to explain my lineage. I had been born while at the Mansion and at that time, Magneto had been there. My real dad had really been just a non-parent and my mom had gotten close with Pietro, even married him, but they split and Pietro never knew that I wasn't his child. Xavier had been more of a dad than my mom's real dad and that explained why I wasn't the faintest bit lighter than I was. I had become a college student and then the years passed and my family grew. My mom had around five brothers and a sister, so it really grew. Rae was the closet to me because I had been right there for her mom's (my cousin, Celeste) pregnancy. Many of my cousins had been born mutants and although some had managed to go to Xavier's School, many had opted for a more normal life. I couldn't agree more. I watched as the superheroes I once knew saved the world.
"Hey, what are y'all doing?" My mom yelled from the porch, where she sat with my Aunt, Louise, and my cousin, Celeste.
"Pane's trying to beat me up!" Rae, short for Raechel, laughed as I tickled her.
As a blue Range Rover pulled up, I was nothing short of happier than ever. Rae and I stood as it pulled into the parking lot.
"Hot weather for Oklahoma." Celeste said to my mother and Aunt, who agreed, not taking their eyes off the car.
"Mommy, look, it's Pane's boyfriend!" Rae chided.
I tickled her and she ran back to her mom's arms, "Yes it is." I said, hugging and kissing him as he got out of the car. His name was Josh and he was a doctor. He stood around 6'1 and looked like Mark Wahlberg. I had met him in my sophomore year and we had been dating for around three years and he was perfect. Oh yeah, and he is also my roommate, although we do live in a house.
"Hey baby?" he asked, kissing me passionately, "How was your day."
"Great. Better now." I smiled, "What's better than great?"
"Your day." He smiled, looking past me to Rae, who ran and jumped into his arms, "Hey, little girl, what's your name?"
"You know my name." Rae laughed, "Cousin Josh, give me money!"
"Oh." I laughed, "They grow up so fast."
"Yeah, a little too fast." Celeste said, coming over and grabbing Rae's hand, "We're on our way home. Rae's got t-ball tomorrow, you guys are coming right?"
"Yeah." I smiled, "Aw, you're taking my best little friend."
"Come on, you little money loving little girl." Celeste chuckled, "See ya guys."
"Bye." We both said, looking at each other.
"So, are you ready to start your tenure at..."
"Yeah, very." I said, "I'm glad you guilted me into." I smirked.
"Me too, so now we can have summers and holidays off." He said, looking down at me as I threw my arms around his neck.
I chuckled, "Well, we could have always just made our own holidays." I smirked.
"Water house." My mother chuckled from the porch.
"Oh what? We're just talking." I chuckled as we walked to the porch.
"Right." Mom smiled, "So, you guys going out tonight? It's a Saturday."
"No." Josh said quickly, looking from my mother to me, "Wait, before you go all bananas on me, we're not going out because I've got something better planned."
"It had better not be basketball games." I sneered, "I love to play, seriously, but watching is soooooo boring."
Josh chuckled, "Okay, but it's better than that." He smirked.
"Well okay." I said, "I'm going to start lesson planning for Monday, anything you need before we leave?"
"If we think of anything, we'll call." Auntie chortled.
I nodded and walked to the car with Josh, happily.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I kissed him and kissed him and kissed him again. As I laid on my stomach, I arched my ass and I could feel his hard 8' cock on my back as he leaned down and kissed me again. I giggled as he licked my back, all the way down to my ass crack, then licking it gently. When I began to moan, he stopped and I felt air slide through my crack and he inserted one finger, then another. I knew that I had to be quiet, so as I moaned, I stuffed the little, satin pillow into my mouth and moaned into it as he fingered me. He then inserted two or three more fingers, but by then I was deep into my sexual daze and I moaned louder. Josh seemed to enjoy it as he chuckled as he did it. I felt his fingers slide out and he laid flat against my back, licking my ear. I wanted to turn and see who my mystery man was, but I couldn't. I felt something slide into my ass and there was pain, but suddenly there was pleasure. The pleasure spread through my body and I moaned even louder. As I moaned, he nibbled at my ear, then stood on his knees.
"You're so fuckin hot! You ready for me fuck that nice ass you got here?" He asked aggressively.
I smirked, "Only if you can handle it." I smirked, liking this odd change. It wasn't something I would have said, it just wasn't.
Josh smirked and pulled me up and began to slide in deeper. As he sliding deeper, he slid out, then in again. I moaned louder than I had moaned before and this turned him on...I could feel it. As he felt it more and more, he went faster and faster and suddenly I was in pure ecstasy and before I knew it, two hours had passed and I could hear him now panting and moaning and as his 8' dick slid in and out of me, I felt him tighten up and gasp!
"Oh Shit! Oh, fuckin yeah! I'm cumin!" Josh moaned as I bounced on his dick. He grasped me and moved faster and faster until a warm feeling busted inside me. I felt it leak out of my asshole and down the back of my leg as he continued to move in and out of me, then we collapsed on top of me. The hot, stickiness made me so hot that I came, too. I walked through my house, trying to shake off this headache that had suddenly begun pounding. I walked to the bathroom and stared into the mirror, then opened it to get some pills, then closed it again and jumped when I saw a version of me standing behind me and wearing all black. I had not seen this, or hallucinated in years! Maybe I was off my meds. I just needed to take my meds and it would all be okay. I swallowed the pill and got a sip of water, trying to close my eyes and will the phantom of my past away, but as I opened my eyes, I realized that I was going away.
"It's been a long time, son." Dark me said.
"You've been fighting to the surface for about a week now, any reason why?" I asked.
"Only to tell you that your little mind-erasing has come to an end." Dark me said, "We're juiced up again."
"What? How?" I asked.
"Jean Grey has died." He said, "Her psychic pulse severed the memory barriers set in place."
"How long ago?" I asked.
"Long enough for anyone trying to find us to find us." He said, "We have to go."
"I have a life here." I said quickly, "A family, a boyfriend...a job."
"Well, sugar, I'm sorry, but if we stay here..." There was a crash and Josh yelped, "...Those you love are in danger."
I ran out of the room and into Josh's office and saw him slumped over on the table. I ignored the warning signs and ran and bent down next to Josh, searching for a pulse and that's when I noticed the blood and the deep cuts on his body.
"You won't find a pulse." Magneto's voice called, "Not on him, anyways."
"You son of a bitch!" I yelled turning to him. Sabretooth tried to hide his bloody hand. I sent him flying backwards and as soon as he left the ground, I felt something push me out of the room and I fell on my back, looking up.
"I am truly sorry; Sabretooth does get a little starved." Magneto said, his cold features staring down at me.
I rolled out of the way and took a stance, noticing how rusty I was, "You...he just killed." I said, trying to run past him, but a tongue flew out of nowhere and slapped me across the hall!
"Ah, ah, ah." Toad said, waving his finger.
"What do you want?" I asked, holding my right cheek.
Magneto threw Toad an angry look, "You have tampered with our minds, we were under the impression that you were dead."
"I know." I said, "It's part of disappearing."
"Such a powerful act, did you attempt it alone?" Magneto asked.
"None of your business." I said, my heart breaking, "I need to get to Josh. I need to get his pulse going."
Magneto turned his back to me, looking at the pictures in the hallway, "You love this, such humble surroundings. This normal life makes you happy?" he asked, turning to see my anger, "Not anymore."
"Please, if you have any decency in your body or soul..." I said, pausing, "I have to get to him."
"That homo sapien will have never made you happy." He said.
"He already did." I said, not letting the tears go too far before I brushed them away.
"I have come to offer you invitation." Magneto said, "The battle between Humans and Mutants is coming. Starting with the Registration Act."
"And you want me to lose control." I said, on the brink, "But I won't."
Magneto looked down at me coldly, "Then you are weak." He said.
"I gave up these powers." I said, "I will not succumb to them. I'm stronger than that."
Toad and Sabretooth stood at the door.
"We should go." Magneto said, sweeping away with his cape, his minions at his cape-tail.
"I'm so sorry, oh God, I'm so sorry." I said, trying to put the blood back into him, but it didn't work. I sat down and laid his body over my legs as I sobbed in the corner, trying to control myself and put myself back together at the Joshe time. Tragedy. It's not our fault! Tragedy. It's their fault! He's dead. It's all my life breeds, tragedy. What about your mother? She died. She lives. After she died. Why are you keeping this in? If I let it out, it's out and...Oh God, breathe. They came in here and killed him. Your lover. Your confidant. Your best friend. How am I going to live without him?
Mom: Is everything okay?
Nothing is okay.
Mom: What's wrong?!
Mom: Who's dead?! Your powers have returned and spiked.
I don't care.
Mom: Who is dead!
Mom: Josh? Did you call the police?!
Mom: You did and didn't?
Pane: Magneto was here...and I'm alone.
I'm never alone.
Pane: Help! Damn it, help me! I can't feel him anymore. He's...I, oh God, I...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Well, if you liked it please tell me so I can start work on the next one. I really need feedback, especially if you like it. If you don't, I need advice and suggestions, please.

Supporting Our Restaurants
The Texas Restaurant Association has estimated that 15% of the State’s restaurants have closed for good due to Covid-19. They say that the number could increase by double that before it’s all over and we see a full recovery. A lot of those that have failed have been small independent businesses that are so important to small cities. They play a significant part in sustaining our neighborhoods and communities with sales taxes and support of local and civic organizations as well as our school programs.
Duncanville has been fortunate in that we have only lost Luby’s Cafeteria in 2020. Have we just been lucky or fortunate? I believe that our restaurants have survived because of three major things. Their great food and service, ability to adapt to the changes and the support of our local citizens.
Valentine’s Day is this Sunday and many will celebrate the time with their loved ones this weekend starting on Friday. Please continue to help and support our local restaurants by either dining in and/or takeout. We have helped them this far so let’s support them to make sure they are here to finish the year.
P.S. Tip the staff well as it has been tough times for them also.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Stay Safe and continue to shop and eat local.
We can all get through this together.

The magnitude of the concerns surrounding the fiscal state of Greek financial affairs has today ripped deeper into the health of the euro. The problem is reminiscent of the wealthy tourist struggling with the hustle and bustle of a busy town center, only to be constantly hounded by a young beggar. No matter how the tourist tries to ignore the demands of the young urchin, he simply won’t go away. And although time is a great healer, the market appears to have grown suspicious that the solution from the government of Greece is nothing more than a string of poor and unworkable assumptions. The fear of onlookers from outside the Eurozone is that if Greece can do this, then others might also resort to bad assumptions to solve its nation’s books on paper and further weaken the credibility of a euro that has found itself languishing after the official submission of the Greek government.
U.S. dollar – The dollar is following through on Tuesday’s gains in trading more reminiscent of risk aversion than would seem appropriate given the escalation of the rally in equity markets. Bond prices rose in line with equity indices yesterday afternoon, an unusual movement as lower yields accompanied higher equities. In overnight trading two factors are helping boost the value of the dollar. Tame inflation data in New Zealand helped erode appetite for risk trades (see Aussie dollar for more details). According to official government sources, several major Chinese banks were told to curb their lending for the remainder of the month. It appears that the tightening of monetary policy continues to gain traction and scope. As might be expected stocks trading in Shanghai reacted negatively sending the index down by 2.5%.
Aussie dollar – Spare a thought for the Aussie dollar, which slumped overnight courtesy two pieces of external data. First it reacted to of the fallout from the restrictive Chinese lending news. Then it fell over a price report from its neighbor. Consumer prices released in New Zealand were unusually tame and given the relatively close relationship between its economy and that of Australia, investors were sharp to reflect a low number for the commensurate Australian reading next week. That would be a key report in the week ahead of the central bank’s February 2 meeting. And while they might look right through any report showing low inflation and look directly at robust retail sales, investors jumped headlong from the windows earlier taking the Aussie unit down by over one cent to 91.32 U.S. cents.
Euro – A visit to beneath the 200-day moving average for the €/$ pair isn’t helping to conjure up support for the single European currency. Despite a rush of blood to the head last week when the government of Greece filed its fiscal intentions with the European Commission, the euro is now facing a second and what seems to be a far more powerful wave of selling. Even before today, the British pound was trading at a four-month high against the euro. This morning the euro is at $1.4142 and is at its weakest point to the dollar since August.
Japanese yen –Risk aversion and the draining of liquidity from Shanghai has helped send the yen firmer to the dollar today at ¥90.92.
Canadian dollar – The Canadian unit has slumped hugely against the dollar after a smaller than expected dose of consumer price index for December. The CPI at 1.3% fell short of the 1.5% prediction and presents the Bank of Canada with plenty of time to consider changing rates. It left interest rates steady at yesterday’s monthly meeting. The dramatic fallout today has seen the buying power slip from 97.00 U.S. cents to 95.84 cents this morning.
British pound –There was plenty for sterling traders to digest overnight after Bank of England governor Mervyn King delivered his first major speech of the year. He referred to the factors that conspired to create a spike in the December inflation reading as temporary and said that they wouldn’t change the Bank’s forecast. Minutes from the last MPC meeting revealed all nine committee members were on the same page in voting for unchanged rates and a continuation of the plans to purchase £200 billion in assets. They noted that change was not needed ahead of February’s Bank report, which might paint a clearer picture of the economy.
British unemployment fell sharply during December according to data released this morning. Some 15,200 jobs were added in the month compared to forecasts for a 2,500 drop. Still, the data also revealed a rise in the umber of people in the economy neither working nor seeking employment. The pound declined against a furiously surging U.S. dollar and stands at $1.6255, while it breached 87 cents per euro for the first time since late August.

Readings on combining and exposing library data sets
I feel like I’m seeing calls across a variety of subject domains for sharing data and making it easily available and reusable. National funding models in the U.S. are beginning to require sharing of data so this idea of providing your data for others to use is kind of catching on.
I also finally read Aaron Swartz’s posthumously published “A Programmable Web: An Unfinished Work,” which is an important read for a multitude of reasons. He makes his own call for exposing data in ways that make it easy for people to grab data they want or get all of the data and make use of it however they want (Chs. 5-7). His ideas implement this around JSON and web-based technology. I like that but I think there’s probably also still a place for XML in exchanging data in a standardized way or communicating data at an institutional level (feeding our data into DPLA, for example).
With a goal of combining our library data for discovery, access, and reuse, I’ve been trying to uncover a literature review of sorts on combining data sets within a library context. I’ve come upon ideas about how to evaluate and compare data sets for commonalities and how to think about providing data in ways that are actually useful and understandable to researchers outside of the library context. Following is the current state of an annotated bibliography, plus some delicious slices of pie because, well, pie:
Abed, Alea. (2014). Podcast: Project Blacklight, Hydra and libraries in the digital age. Lucidworks. http://www.lucidworks.com/blog/podcast-project-blacklight-hydra-and-libraries-in-the-digital-age/
Bess Sadler from Stanford University discusses Project Hydra and what is happening in new developments. They are trying to improve discovery and access for digital libraries by adding a technology stack onto the inventory system that has been digital repositories up to now. Also improving this inventorysystem by providing self-deposit interfaces. Two new areas of work highlighted were GeoBlacklight for GIS data and displaying archival collections effectively in Blacklight.
Breeding, Marshall. (2005). Plotting a new course for metasearch. Computers in Libraries, 25:2, pp. 27-29.
Breeding makes the case for a giant central search of content instead of federated searching (searching against multiple targets). This provides a single access point instead of multiple search interfaces and lessens the burden of searching multiple targets and needing multiple indexes. Making this switch can be difficult since different providers don’t always make metadata openly available for combining.
Emde, Judith Z., Sara E. Morris, and Monica Claassen-Wilson. (2009). Testing an academic library website for usability with faculty and graduate students. Evidence Based Library and Information Practice, 4:4, pp. 24-36.
This article describes findings from a usability study of a library website. Findings include that graduate students tend to get results that are too broad from federated searching. They have to use quotation marks to be precise and results can be too mixed, making it hard to tell what is what. Federated searching is most helpful to graduate students to point out resources or databases they have not previously used. Another finding was that graduate students want subject-specific searching or limited combined subject searching, not cross-subject searching. Subject-specific resource help is most useful when given within a context, such as a course.
Hofmann, Melissa A. and Sharon Q. Yang. (2011). How next-gen r u? A review of academic OPACs in the United States and Canada. Computers in Libraries 31:6, pp. 26-29.
Initial study that was followed up in 2011 found that of 260 academic libraries surveyed, very few were using federated searching to combine data sources and most were still only offering catalog searching. If there was a discovery layer tool in use, it tended to provide faceted navigation.
Hofmann, Melissa A. (2012). “Discovering” what’s changed: a revisit of the OPACs of 260 academic libraries. Library Hi Tech 30:2, pp. 253-274.
In this 2011 follow-up to a 2009 study that found that discovery layers were not in wide use among academic online library catalogs, more institutions are using discovery layers but there are weaknesses in what these tools can do in terms of unified one-stop searching, recommended items, and relevancy display based on circulation statistics. Interest is shown in the eXtensible Catalog (XC) Metadata Toolkit because it “aggregates metadata from various silos, normalizes (cleans-up) metadata of varying levels of quality, and transform[s]… metadata into a consistent format for use in the discovery layer.” [p. 261]
Johnson, Thomas. (2013). Indexing linked bibliographic data with JSON-LD, BibJSON and Elasticsearch. The Code4Lib Journal, 19. http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/7949
This article describes using JSON to map RDF into JSON-LD (linked data). The main point of interest for me is that indexes were not actually combined but kept separate. This helped to include context along with the index and allowed for different mappings based on discrepancies between data sources. There were no performance issues querying across multiple indexes using JSON.
Kipp, Margaret E. I. (2005). Complementary ordiscrete contexts in online indexing: A comparison of user, creator, and intermediary keywords. Canadian Journal of Information & Library Sciences 29:4, pp. 419-436.
This article describes a study comparing descriptors assigned by different actors in the metadata creation process. 165 articles from CiteULike (a bookmarking web service similar to de.li.cio.us) were compared based on user-provided tags, author-provided keywords, and intermediary-provided descriptors using the Voorbij scale along with structured thesauri from INSPEC and Library Literature to identify broader, narrower, and related terms. The study found that user tags are quite different from author- and intermediary-provided descriptors and can supplement a controlled vocabulary entryway to content. Additionally, providing both abbreviations and long-form terms helped to expand content use to interdisciplinary research.
Limani, Fidan and Vladimir Radevski. (2013). Enrichment of digital libraries with Web 2.0: Resources for enhanced user search experience. 8th Annual South-East European Doctoral Student Conference: Infusing Research and Knowledge in South-East Europe. South-East European Research Center: Thessaloniki, Greece, 2013. pp. 294-300.
This article proposes connecting “traditional” scientific research resources (indexed, categorized, and searchable) with scientific Web 2.0 data (socially maintained scholarly library services like blogs and wikis) by tagging those Web 2.0 data sources with authoritative links. This introduces Semantic Web connections to tie together these data sources and expose digital library collections more effectively, reducing the “search span and effort” on the part of the user. [p. 299]
Stephens, Owen. (2011). Mashups and open data in libraries. Serials: The Journal for the Serials Community 24:3, pp. 245-250.
Stephens argues that making data open involves more than just licensing – it should refer to “the ease with which data can be used, taking into consideration aspects such as format and access mechanisms.” [p. 246] The most common ways library data is shared are via XML, JSON, and, increasingly, RDF but these “formats offered are usually familiar only to those who specialize in library data.” [p. 247] Offering APIs to access data makes it easier to understand and use the data, allowing mashups to occur and new ways to use data possible.
Thomas, Marliese, Dana M. Caudle, and Cecilia M. Schmitz. (2009). To tag or not to tag? Library Hi Tech, 27:3, pp. 411-434.
This article describes a study comparing user-contributed tags to controlled vocabulary subject headings (LCSH) to identify broader, narrower, and related terms to identify new terms via the tags that can be brought in to enhance controlled vocabulary used in a system (a “collabulary”). Kipp’s modification of Voorbij scale was used to look at tags compared to hierarchical relationships from a thesaurus. Tagging is generally for personal use (such as finding something later) so there needs to be an incentive to create tags.
Tillett, Barbara B. (2000). Authority control on the web. In: Bicentennial Conference on Bibliographic Control for the New Millennium: Confronting the Challenges of Networked Resources and the Web (Washington DC, November 15-17, 2000).
This report discusses the concept of a “mandatory minimal set of data elements… in all authority records to facilitate international exchange or use” [p. 5] It shows growing support for authority control to manage different sources of common metadata and the idea of common core data points for aligning and relating records from different sources.
Voorbij, Henk J. (1998). Title keywords and subject descriptors: A comparison of subject search entries of books in the humanities and social sciences. Journal of Documentation, 54:4, pp. 466-476.
This article describes results from two studies – one where librarians compared subject descriptors and words in titles for 475 catalog records and rated them on a scale of 1 (subject is the same as the title) to 7 (subject is not at all in the title) and a second where librarians searched on subject and title words for the same topic. Findings suggest that subject descriptors enhanced recall for searches and 37% of the first study’s records were enhanced by subject descriptors. [The scale used for comparison has been used in other studies (Thomas, et al., 2009; Kipp, 2006) with variations in what is being compared but focusing on comparing different types of metadata.]

Cosplay at EGX 2015
We caught up with some of the folks at EGX 2015 who talked to us briefly about their #Cosplay outfits. As well as this we had a chat with Ziggy Newman the UK Technical Organiser of the European Cosplay Gathering at #EGX and Cosplay Coordinator/Director of the EGX Cosplay Championship!
We spoke to David who attended EGX 2015 as Princess Peach. Peach (for those living in isolation for 20+ years) is the princess of the fictional Mushroom Kingdom, which is constantly under attack by Bowser. Princess Peach is a character in Nintendo’s Mario franchise. Originally created by Shigeru Miyamoto. David first attended EGX in Cosplay in 2013 and has since been hooked by it. His costume took approximately 1 month to source the materials and make.
Kevin spoke to us about his Majin Vegita costume. As prince of the ‘Saiyans’, ‘Vegeta’ is extremely vain, believing he is the strongest and becomes obsessed with surpassing his rival, ‘Goku’. He later reluctantly unites with the heroes to thwart greater threats to the universe, becoming an antihero, while remaining a rival to ‘Goku’. Kevin Tells us that it took a couple of days to make the costume plus 3 hours of makeup on the day. Kevin likes to regularly attend conventions in various Cosplay.
We also had a chat with Xur, Agent of the Nine! Xur is a character in Destiny, who is a vendor in the Tower and, the Vestian Outpost. Xur sells extremely rare goods in exchange for Strange Coins and only appears on weekends. Xur’s coming and going depends on the planetary alignments, as he hails from the Jovians, a part of the system that the Guardians have yet to adequately explore. He is in service to the Nine who are rulers of the Jovians.
Cosplay was first developed in Japan and, is considered a performance art. Cosplayers reference characters from Film, TV, Books, Comic Books, Graphic Novels, Anime, Manga and Video Games. Many Cosplayers create their own outfits or at least mod shop bought items. Because of this the people involved in Cosplay can develop skills in Textiles, Sculpture, face-paint/stage makeup, prosthetics, fiberglass, fashion design, woodworking, millinery and wig-making!
Arguably the most well known Cosplay event is The World Cosplay Summit in Japan. Now with 28 Countries made up of 2 Cosplayers competing!

The Council acknowledges the importance of becoming an Australian Citizen and the Citizenship Ceremony is the final step in achieving this milestone. It is the occasion in which they take the citizenship pledge and receive their official Certificate of Australian Citizenship and the Council endeavours to make this both a memorable and rewarding experience.
Enquiries regarding Australian Citizenship should be directed to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) on 131 880 or by visiting the Australian Citizenship website.
Once your application is approved you will receive a letter of approval from DIMA and your Australian Citizenship Certificate will be sent to Baw Baw Shire Council, who will in turn invite you to attend the next available citizenship ceremony.
The Mayor conducts the ceremony and on occasion local Members of Parliament may be in attendance. The ceremony concludes with light refreshments being served to celebrate the new status of candidates. Family and friends are most welcome to attend these ceremonies.
You become an Australian Citizen on the date you attend your citizenship ceremony and make the Pledge of Commitment as a Citizen of the Commonwealth of Australia. Your certificate will be your legal proof of Australian Citizenship.
The next Citizenship Ceremony in Baw Baw Shire will be held on Monday, 22 July 2013.
If you have any questions in relation to Council's role in the citizenship process, or the conducting of ceremonies, please contact Dee Fenton on 5624 2411.

January 2013 marks a number of new beginnings. The 113th Congress was sworn into office on January 3. President Obama was sworn into office on January 20 (officially) and January 21 (ceremonially). And deadlines are looming related to the debt ceiling, sequestration and government funding for the rest of FY2013.
There is some reason to believe that 2013 will not be a replay of 2012. First, the President’s reelection seems to have imbued him with a new sense of confidence and purpose. Certainly his Inaugural Address was unapologetically progressive and more “prose than poetry” as some commentators noted. The Senate has a stronger Democratic majority than it did last year, by two seats. The House has a larger Democratic minority and, more importantly, the Republican majority is showing clear fissures in how to proceed.
With the debt ceiling expected to be reached in the final two weeks of February, House Republicans meeting in retreat in Williamsburg VA last week decided to pass a suspension of the debt limit through May 18, with no attached budget cuts and with the proviso that if neither house of Congress passes a budget resolution by that date, its members will no longer be paid. It is an ironic approach since the budget resolution, while instructive to the Congress, is not signed by the President and does not have the force of law.
So, if the debt limit issue is delayed, that will still leave sequestration, which is scheduled to take effect on March 2, and represents a 5.1 percent reduction in non-defense discretionary spending and the Continuing Resolution which expires on March 27, leaving the entire government unfunded after that date. The President’s Inaugural Address put a high priority on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He did not say they could not be cut; but he was clear that he would not support radical surgery.
Cuts in entitlement programs – just like revenues – lessen the extent of cuts in non-defense discretionary spending, where the Budget Control Act of 2011 already took a $900+ billion bite.
Whether Congress and the White House look to cut more from these programs or more from entitlements combined with additional revenues will go a long way toward clarifying our future fiscal picture.
Perhaps the only consensus at this point is that further delay in addressing these issues is not an option. If that holds, that will be one clear difference between 2012 and 2013.
