The elephant looks interesting. I've never heard of it before but since I grew up with Las Vegas down the road, I heard very little about Atlantic City. Nice that you got a little dirt road experience (or should that be excitement!). Sand isn't that much fun and I've not run into the really soft and deep stuff. At the rate you are going, the Ténéré will be at 10k before the end of the month. Interesting photos and an entertaining post. Nice one George - congratulations on the new baby, and you're right the Raven looks great. I wish you many, many happy miles together, there's nothing to match the feeling of getting a new motorbike is there? Yeah good one George, get cracking and start racking up thoses miles. Think or all the roads that are going to open up for you now that you can get off road. You are going to have some great adventures. Lucy has an interesting story. Atlantic city is nothing like Las Vegas, I prefer Vegas. I then started researching the boardwalks at the turn of the century...there's some really crazy stuff in our past! It would be fun to create a book on some of the strange sightings we come cross when riding America! What a great blog read! I have been through the pine barrens many times. They are my favorite part of New Jersey. But I had bo idea the Air National Guard had a bombing range in there. Your account of your first dirt ride on the new bike was amazing. Ain't technology grand! I was delighted to learn that your experience with traction control didn't include picking up the bike from the sand. Thank you for reading. I am always amazed at the things one finds in NJ. I'm going to be in PA this weekend at another BMW rally, the Black Diamond Beemers Rally In the Pocono's. New Jersey really has some great roadside stuff... and diners. And what's with all of the Texas wiener hot dog places in NJ, too? The event you attended last year in the Pine Barrens has been cancelled, damn NJ politicians and greens, they wanna prevent us from having fun. you are an adventurer, I wouldn't dare take my "strom" off road into sand but I have found that side cases make very good "sliders", and they have been put to the test. Not yet, just testing the waters. I have recently added a few Altrider parts to the bike, pictures coming up soon. Hey George I have a cloth patch SA flag for you, if you email me your postal address I will send it over along with a sticker flag - I haven't been able to find the old flag, no one wants to be associated with that one any more! Hey George, I have a cloth patch SA flag for you, email me your postal address and I'll send it over along with a sticker flag. Thank you very much, e-mail has been sent.

Rounds up all of the Halo-based video adventures in one sweet collection. I’m a pretty big fan of the Halo games and universe, and have basically played all the games as well as seen the features based off of them. Our friends at Shout Factory must be big fans too, as they’ve saved people the trouble of seeking out these features individually and collected them into a massive six-disc set with Halo: The Complete Video Collection. Featuring all of the released movies and shorts, and a ton of special features both old and new, this is the set any Halo or sci-fi fan will want to get. This sweet collection contains Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Halo: Nightfall, Halo Legends, and Halo: Fall of Reach. As you can see, I was able to review three of those individually that you can check out and then head back here for the rest of the set review. While I didn’t get to see Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn until some time after its original four-part mini-series release, it follows a group of young cadets at the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) military academy. Here they train to become soldiers to eventually join the ongoing war against the Covenant. Of course things take a turn for the worse as they get ever closer to graduating, as an alien attack upon the academy will test their resolve and training, as well as pair them up with the beloved Master Chief for an experience that will change all of their lives forever. While each film or short collection is on their own disc, complete with their respective special features, Shout Factory goes above and beyond with an additional bonus disc that contains even more extras in the form of four all-new commentaries from various Halo Creative Team members. They include Frank O’Connor – Franchise Creative Director at 343 Industries, Kevin Grace – Franchise Manager, Bonnie Ross – Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, Kiki Wolfkill – Studio Head for Transmedia at 343 Industries, Corrinne Robinson – Halo Franchise Manager, and Jeremy Patenaude – Franchise Writer. On each film or short collection, they share with fans some of the things that went into making them, along with some other fun and interesting tidbits behind the scenes of making the projects come to life. If you’re a Halo or sci-fi fan looking to check out all of the cool films and shorts based off the famous game series, but haven’t been able to watch or collect them all, the Halo: The Complete Video Collection from Shout Factory has you covered. Each feature looks and sounds great on Blu-ray, has it’s own set of extras, and comes with an extra bonus disc that’ll make you want to jump in your Warthog and snag a copy of this collection at your local store.

Alleged Bigfoot hair samples had believers of the mythical yeti monster clamoring to see whether science might prove Bigfoot does indeed exist. Well Hell, Bigfoot must be a cow....moo-hoo! Will The Owner Of The Patterson Bigfoot Suit Please Stand Up? VIDEO: The most convincing Bigfoot footage ever? Bigfoot Hair Samples Mostly from Bears, Wolves. An Oxford lead research team tested supposed Bigfoot hair and discovered a possible new species of bear. Is The Media Coverage of the Sykes Yeti DNA Results Missing the Point? After analyzing more than 30 hair samples reportedly left behind by Bigfoot, scientists have determined the samples belong to various animals. I am in a surprisingly good mood today. The day started well with another sneak preview of a track from the forthcoming Atkins-May project album. It is a complete stonker, and I confidently expect their third album to be their best yet. I truly like the new prog metal approach. Other exciting news comes from Nottinghamshire where a Camberwell beauty was seen the other day. This seems to be the first record in the UK since 2012. For those of you not in the know, this is one of the rarest butterflies found in Britain. The name implies that it comes from Camberwell (like the carrots) but actually this is only where the type specimen was found. L Hugh Newman (one of my great heroes) proved that this is a Scandinavian creature which usually gets imported accidentally with shipments of logs often from Finland, so for one to turn up in Nottinghamshire is a rare thing indeed. Karl Shuker reveals the controversial history of a long-lost cryptozoological relic. On this day in 1962 the actor Tom Cruise was born. Outside of acting, Cruise is known for being a high profile member of the Church of Scientology.

Risk management is growing in importance and thus becoming more relevant to all bank stakeholders. Risk is now a key business driver and a vital component of the decision-making process. Banks dedicate a significant portion of IT budgets to risk measurement technology, However, requirements are continually changing, often making risk management a daunting challenge. Powerful risk solutions are increasingly required to meet client’s immediate needs and strategic objectives across departments and locations. Increasing need for firms to have advisory services to help them stay ahead of the competition, leveraging the benefits of the new trading environment while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. High quality risk processes and systems quantify and manage different types and sources of risk across departments and locations which can improve business decision-making. We have defined margin and risk exposure measures and limits. Based on this, we have developed a target operating model, plus processes and controls for a tier 1 bank’s prime services business. We have designed the target architecture for tactical and strategic risk infrastructure for a tier 1 bank's prime services business. We can also provide a tactical risk engine solution. We offer an integrated risk management platform covering market risk, credit risk and limits management.

Since its inception in 1945 the Council has been plagued with problems, but never have these been more prevalent than in the current state of global affairs. The idea of Security Council reform has been batted about for years and, indeed, several attempts to table coherent proposals for it have failed. However, it is imperative that the Council reforms in order for it to continue effectively protecting international peace and security. There is one major issue that faces the Security Council: legitimacy. Nearly 70 years on from its creation, it is no longer seen to be legitimate to concentrate power in the hands of a few states premised on their winning of the Second World War. The veto power is the most controversial aspect of the Council, which has been exemplified by the ongoing atrocities in Syria where the Council has been unable to act due to opposition from some permanent members. Whilst it is unlikely that we will ever see the veto power completely eradicated, it is vital that limits are placed on its use and the international system will benefit from this. There are several options for restricting the use of the veto, including a voluntary restriction from the PMs that they will not use their veto when jus cogens crimes are involved, primarily genocide and crimes against humanity. By agreeing to this, the Security Council would once again be able to exercise its Chapter VII powers effectively. If this restriction were in place now, the Council would have been able to intervene militarily in Syria with legitimacy and halt the atrocities long before now. Instead we are left with a situation where the Security Council has taken no action and other states are afraid to do so as well for fear of reprisal, which is not what we want to see going forward. By limiting the power of the veto, the appeal of the Security Council could be expanded and states will be more likely to go to it for help. This would also help to make the Council’s decisions more reliable and consistent, as it would be expected that it would act the same in a similar situation and reduce the power of the Permanent Members to take arbitrary decisions. By building up a body of jurisprudence, there will no longer be the requirement for states or organisations to intervene in situations without Council authorisation, which will strengthen international law and the United Nations and stabilise international relations. The Security Council also faces a legitimacy and accountability issue through its lack of representativeness, particularly of the Global South. Increasing the number of members of the Council could eradicate this problem as a more representative body would give it more authority to deal with situations and would remove the perception that the Council is a means for the West to impose its views on the rest of the world. As above, this would help enhance the Council’s appeal, to African states in particular, and make it stronger going forward. If the Council doesn’t reform and continues to be inactive, states will instead turn to their regional organisations for assistance, which has already been seen in the past in the case of Kosovo. If this continues to happen going forward, then these organisations will get stronger and the Security Council will become marginalised. This is not a situation that anyone would want to see happen as a return to a piecemeal approach to security is likely to heighten tensions rather than unite the world. The Security Council has flaws – that is undeniable – but no one wants to see it abolished or become completely ineffective. It has already taken steps to improve its transparency through becoming more open through publicising its decision-making and including more states in the process. However, that is not enough to increase its effectiveness going forward. A radical overhaul is needed to prevent it becoming stagnant once again. The Council’s enforcement power needs to be increased through strengthening the world’s perception of the body and reducing its dependence on America’s military power, which will be very difficult to do. If the Council achieves this, not only will it bolster its own enforcement powers and capabilities going forward, but it will contribute to strengthening the UN as a whole, where wider reforms have been held back as a result of the Security Council dilemma. This will ensure that the Council and UN continue to be the leading body for upholding peace and security for the future and will not suffer the same fate as its predecessor. Next: Why has America not intervened more in the Arab World?

Windows Oversight Centre is what’s known as a Fake Anti-Virus, which unfortunately are becoming extremely common and people’s computers. The main aim of these fake anti-viruses is to get you to hand over your hard earned money without you even knowing that you’ve been conned. They do this by putting you in a false sense of security which includes their program scanning your system and finding fake infections and viruses (but you don’t know they’re fake). Once the scan has finished they will then say ‘Your system is at risk’ and will then ask you to purchase the full version of their program so that you can remove the apparent infections. However you can fully remove this infection but first, to ensure this problem is not a big deal, you have to first restart your PC into “Safe Mode” before getting rid of the infection with a legitimate anti-spyware application. How Do You Catch This Virus?

From diapers to diphthongs, early years’ education at The American School of Bangkok means a world of enthusiastic learners taught by dedicated, caring educators. “Worldwide” is probably a better word when describing ASB’s program which is offered at each campus. In total, in sections N-1 to K-2 there are 133 students, 10 teachers and 13 aides who come from 25 different countries. These diverse global guys and gals blend smoothly to provide a firm foundation for learning that lasts a lifetime. That balance is crucial as the teachers are tasked with helping students from their first steps to their first compositions. These ASB’s teachers, whether just beginning their careers or having been in the classrooms long enough to greet former students returning from college, stress patience, planning and communication as key to educating in the early years. Such patience was on display as N-1 teacher Ms. Mandy DeBilzan talked about her role as the educator of the tiniest of the tiny. She guides the wee ones’ first halting steps, and those steps are likely to go in any direction at any time. Just ask one of the best, Ms. Yazmine Razack. The K -2 teacher has nearly two decades teaching, a college-aged son who graduated from ASB, and impressively Ms. Yazi’s students have reading scores that surpass grade-level norms and expectations. Not a little of that work involves communication where the ASB teachers have regular contact with parents to create an effective home-school partnership including phone apps, social media pages and newsletters. Ms. Namoi Spingler, a parent who began her twin sons’ education at the Sukhumvit Nursery school agrees. As her sons Cody and Jake, now in second grade, have advanced through school, Ms. Spingler says that the nursery school experience was critical. “The teachers’ messages helped create an open environment where our sons told us, ‘I can really explore who I am.” It was a fun-filled environment that nurtures little, curious minds. Nurturing and developing these young minds in a family-friendly environment is not without its concerns. One teacher spoke of the need to maintain privacy and security in the social media communications, and others mentioned how hard it is to tell parents, well-intentioned though they are, that individual nannies can’t stay with children inside the classrooms. Still the teachers give their job 10 happy faces even on days when lunch is a passing thought that was left on the intersection of lost crayons and runny noses. Ms. Yazi talks of reunions with adults who tell her decades after they left her room, that they recall all the fun they had and how they still apply life’s lessons learned in her classroom.

As always, I get very excited when new makeup collections are launched. I already shared Dior's Summer 2014 collection a while ago (which is in stores now) and Chanel just launched their summer range in South Africa - although I am not too certain what the availability is like in all the stores here. Anyway, here is the beautiful Summer 2014 Collection. The collection is designed to be matched or mismatched which creates a very diverse range that has almost endless possibilities. A lot of the products are limited edition which means they won't be around for too long so if you have any favourites you should grab them as soon as possible. I personally love the Sweet Lilac nail polish (615), the purple mascara and the 3 Illusion D'Ombre cream eyeshadows. However I am not sure I will be purchasing any of the products purely because I am saving up and I know the last Chanel mascara I bought was over R400 and the nail polish was R330. Maybe if I feel like a spoil I will get either the mascara or one of the eyeshadow pots. The full collection and product details can be viewed on Chanel's website. Let me know what your favourites are.

Glycogen storage disease type II (or GSD II, acid maltase deficiency, Pompe’s disease) has been estimated to be a rare disease. The usually quoted figure of 1 in 100.000 for the frequency of GSD II is not supported by strong data. The first retrospective studies on the frequency of the disease were limited to infantile GSD II and indicated that the frequency of infantile GSD II may range between 1/125.000 and 1/548.000(1,2). In a recent study from Australia including early and late-onset phenotypes the estimated birth prevalence of GSD II was 1 in 146.000 (3). We previously predicted the theoretical frequency of GSD type II on the basis of mutation analysis in an unselected sample of over 3000 Dutch new-borns (4). Based on the calculated carrier frequencies, the predicted frequency of GSD II was 1 in 40.000, divided over 1 in 138.000 for infantile GSD II and 1 in 57.000 for adult GSD II. A recent study on the carrier frequency in the United States also indicated a disease frequency of 1 in 40.000 (5). The apparent discrepancy of figures could be explained by ‘under-diagnosis’ of the disease. To investigate whether GSD II is under-diagnosed, we identified all pre- and postnatal diagnoses in the Netherlands over the period 1972 through 1996. Based on the number of diagnoses we calculated the birth prevalence of the various phenotypes and compared these data with the calculated frequencies from our previous study based on mutation screening. In addition, we compared the medical discipline and professional setting (university or general hospital) of the clinicians referring their patients for diagnosis. Our results suggest that the world wide frequency of GSD II must be higher than 1 in 100.000 and that the birth prevalence of adult GSD II is two times higher than that of infantile GSD II.

Learn how to arrange a feature story to raise awareness about community issues and related initiatives. What does it mean to arrange news and feature stories? Why should you arrange news and feature stories? How do you arrange news and feature stories? Strategically arranging news and feature stories in local and national publications can significantly influence the efficiency of your communicated message. Typically, newspaper readers follow similar patterns regarding which stories they read first and how long they spend on each story. Understanding these patterns can help you arrange information in a way that most effectively raises awareness, generates support, or attracts the attention of the public. This section looks at the differences between news and feature stories, which format may be the most helpful to your cause, and how to arrange a story to efficiently communicate a message. They say that when a dog bites a man, that's nothing new. But if a man bites a dog, that's news. Our communities produce a lot of news, and lots of it doesn't even get in the newspapers. But you don't have to bite a dog to get in the newspaper. This section will help you to attract the media to what you do and to get your story in the news. You can use news stories and feature stories to highlight your initiative in the media. Before we go any further, let's establish the difference. Feature stories don't necessarily have to have a hot-news aspect -- although they are often based on red-hot news. They usually have special layout treatment (color pictures, illustrations, front page of sections, box around them, etc.) and are lengthier than average news stories. News stories, on the other hand, are more straightforward. They try to address the issue quickly and objectively. An ideal news story answers six basic questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. For example, the following is the lead (first paragraph) of a story. Can you identify those elements here? "A professor at the University of Kansas, claiming lack of environmental awareness on campus, started a recycling campaign yesterday with his students' help at the Ecology and Biology Department." Feature stories are longer than hard-news stories, so the reporter can go more in depth about how things come to be the way they are. For example, you can have a hard-news story on the new alcohol-abuse program you're starting, or have a feature story on the people you've helped, with pictures, a profile of your initiative, its reason for being, and its plans for the future. It's usually up to the editor or the reporter to decide in which format your story will be published, but if you think your initiative will benefit more from a feature story than from a hard-news blurb, advocate your cause. Usually, news is what you see. What you know is background and what you feel is opinion. Don't try to arrange a story based on your opinions. If you feel strongly about something, or have strong opinions about a subject, write to the editor or write an opinion editorial (op-ed piece). If your opinion is interesting enough, the publication may choose to do a story based on it. For example, suppose you're organizing a local blood drive and for some reason it is receiving poor or no coverage. It's in your best interest to write a letter or op-ed so that your community is informed about it. You may also want to try writing the story yourself and trying to get it published. However, don't feel bad if reporters reject your idea at first, or propose a different angle for it. Sometimes, a little adjusting will work wonders for you and the way your initiative will be portrayed. Sometimes you may be put off repeatedly for months and then reporters suddenly are on deadline and want to talk to you at 1:00 in the morning. Be patient and you'll be rewarded. Of course, if you're being put off indefinitely and it just feels like you're in a continual holding pattern, move on, because your time is precious. Address your contacts more aggressively if you think that will work, or take your story to another contact. Whatever you do, be tactful; you don't want to make enemies out of your contacts. To gain increased publicity. A story in the newspaper or in the local news is a free way of getting advertisement. You will be amazed at the number of people who will be interested in your activities after they read your story in the newspapers, watch it on TV, hear it on the radio, or see it on the web. Besides, a story has more credibility than paid publicity. To promote community awareness of your overall initiative. News stories are a vital part of the "conversation" on which communities thrive. By making sure your activities are well-represented in the local media, you ensure that your organization maintains a role in this "conversation." A local newspaper ran an interview with the director of The Literacy Project, an adult literacy project in Massachusetts. As a direct result, the organization heard from a number of potential students and volunteers, and also received a number of contributions. Eventually, with other stories in the paper, the organization was recognized as a community resource. The project also placed a number of adult literacy stories and an editorial into a large statewide newspaper. All this together contributed to an increase in state funding for the field. To attract attention -- and possibly funding -- from policy makers and other "movers and shakers" in your community. And that's what you want all along -- people to know what you do and offer some sort of support, recognition and participation. Other initiatives may identify with you and join forces, some organization may sympathize with your cause and make a donation, the state health bureau may want to work with you. With a well-placed story, the sky is the limit for you. How should you arrange news and feature stories? So, what does arranging news and feature stories involve? Simply put, it includes getting the media interested in what you're doing so that you get space in publications and on the air. Arranging news and feature stories involves contacting the media, nurturing a relationship with your media contacts, and keeping your contacts informed about what you're doing. It involves knowing the issue inside and out, and it involves believing in -- and convincing others of -- its importance to the community. When should you arrange your news or feature story? When is the best time to contact the editor of that weekly magazine, the program manager of that radio station or the producer of that newscast? As soon as have your act together! Try not to contact the media until you have most of the details organized. If your story is well timed, that's even better. Remember that timing is very important when trying to arrange a news or feature story. Take advantage of national dates and seasonal activities. You may try to arrange a story to coincide with an event, an initiative, or a special day or week related to your issue and your organization. For instance, what day would be better for the Forest Fire Prevention group to launch their new program than Earth Day? National AIDS Awareness Day is probably a great occasion to let people know about a project going on at your county's AIDS prevention group. If you look into it, you may discover a day or an event that might just match what you do. Find out about it and plan accordingly. Reporters are always looking for news. If what you do is unique, interesting and new, it's probably fit to print. But don't give up if you're not involved in any red-hot news at the moment. Especially in small communities, newspapers will often print anything of community interest. They're always looking for local news and a fresh angle. If you're in a larger market that is covered by state or national media, it may be tougher to get your story in, but if you can explore the human aspect of it, you may catch the media's attention. As a general rule, you want to contact the people with decision power to give your story a go. These people are probably a phone call away and you can take advantage of that. You can also contact the media outlet you chose and ask which reporter covers the subject under which your story would fall. Most of the time you'll be directed to the reporter who will cover your story. It's hard to generalize how reporters are and how they work, because just like people in general, they vary a great deal. Typically, they want the story done as much as you do, so you share a common interest. Be polite, clear and helpful when you are put in contact with a reporter. Be ready to answer all questions and have additional background information at hand. For instance, if your initiative is throwing a fund-raising ball, the reporter will probably want to know how much it will cost to throw the ball, how much money you expect to raise, how much money you raised on previous balls, what the attractions there are going to be (Band? Prizes?), how many people you're expecting, etc. But arranging your story is not only about contacting people. It's about contacting the right people. You have to consider which publication or medium fits your interest better. Chances are that Guns and Ammo magazine will not be interested in a gun-control campaign story. On the other hand, it's likely that the On Health web magazine will be interested in a anti-lung cancer initiative. When targeting media for your story, bear in mind also the number of people that may read, watch or hear that publication or show. You want to reach the broadest number of people possible. How can you "sell" yourself? Once you decide where you want your story to be published or aired, you have to be ready to "sell" your story -- to convince the reporter that your story is something people will care about. When presenting your story for potential publication, don't tell them; show them. That is, don't only tell the reporter what your story is about, but show to him or her how it affects audiences in general. Show you have knowledge about your community. If you are starting an initiative on disability rights, give the reporter statistics about how many people in the community could benefit from your services, give names of people involved with your project that can be interviewed, suggest an angle for the story, and offer names of people who might provide endorsement to your initiative. Maybe your initiative is something new in town, or is setting a new trend -- don't just tell them that; show them! While planning to pitch your story, "So what?" is a question that you must bear in mind at all times. Assume that people are constantly asking "So what?" while reading a story on your work. Give a sense of purpose to what you want published or aired. The best way to answer that is presenting human interest in your story. Offer something that people can relate to. Stories that fail to answer the "So what?" questions will not attract readers' attention, will not be read to the end, or will simply be skipped altogether. You don't want that to happen to your story, so keep yourself in constant check. Ask yourself if you're being clear enough, how relevant what you're doing is, if your point is coming across. If your story is about organizing an effort to contribute to a memorial fund, ask yourself why the average reader should care. Is it because of the nature of the fund? Is it because it's a community effort? What is the human factor you are going to focus on? Human interest -- People want to read about other people and what they do and say. This is an element that relates to our natural curiosity. Stories with this ingredient are sure to capture attention. Focus on a particular person's story or on a human angle. Affect -- If what you're reporting has an impact on your readers' lives, you can be sure it's news. It doesn't have to happen locally to affect you. Stories about environmental welfare are as important as stories about your local city dump's sanitary conditions. Proximity -- Usually, people are more interested in what happens close to them. Local stories are most likely to grab attention. However, with the globalization of the world, people are becoming more and more interested in what happens in distant places. Timeliness -- Generally speaking, the fresher the news, the better. People want to know what is going on right now. Of course, there are timeless stories that can be written at any time; these are most likely to be feature stories. Prominence -- Famous people, places and institutions always have a place in the news. If you throw a party, your friends will know. If a famous actor throws a party, it'll be in every magazine. A very common way of getting your story out is to prepare a press release. A press release is a brief written summary or update alerting the media about your group's news and activities. In it, you should provide all the basic information about your story, some background information, and a way to contact you. However, writing a press release doesn't guarantee that your story will be picked up. Press releases are not always a priority on the reporter's list, and you should contact reporters personally to make sure they didn't put yours at the bottom of a drawer. You can also consider holding a press conference to get your news out and have somebody write about it. Press conferences are generally geared toward hard news, so before you consider arranging a press conference, make sure your story is timely, significant, prominent, and relevant. If you're dealing with print media you may try to get your picture in the press. Pictures can work wonders for your story. Suggest pictures, graphics and illustrations to go with your story. Features will benefit the most from visual elements. Illustrations and photos can and should be used as creatively as possible. It helps if you provide the pictures, but sometimes newspapers prefer to send their own photographers. In some communities, newspapers rely on local amateur photographers to provide pictures for their stories. Keep in mind that illustrations and pictures in a feature must tell the story. If you think a picture is fundamental to your story and you don't have one, remember to mention that to the reporter. Finally, depending on the size of your group or initiative, you may not have time to do all the media contacts by yourself. Your best bet, then, is to hire a public relations person to do the job, if that's an affordable option for your initiative. Competition to get a story in the news can be tough, and hiring a professional to do the job may help your cause. A public relation person can create a specialized marketing program designed to fit the needs of your initiative. A PR person can also help you with creatively structuring your message, packaging your information, targeting media selection, and customizing and personalizing media presentation. Once you spark the reporter's interest in your story, it's likely that he or she will want to interview you. Interviews are strange animals, and no two are alike. They depend on the rapport you establish with the reporter, on the subject, and on how newsworthy your story is. Here, we'll give you some tips on what to do -- and what not to do -- during an interview with the media. First, make sure that you know what you're talking about. Be helpful and articulate. Decide on key points you want to get across and try to work them in every chance you have. Be courteous, explain what you need, what you're expecting to see in the story, and what you are about. Don't be too aggressive or demanding. It will also help if you have a couple of quotes "ready." That is, some remark to which you gave some thought beforehand, so that if the reporter asks you for a statement, you are not caught stuttering on the phone. Prepare yourself for the questions in advance. If possible, ask for a sample. Be familiar with the topic of the interview. Don't be afraid of sounding ignorant by asking to repeat questions. Never answer rudeness with rudeness. Before wrapping the interview, make sure you made your point clear. Recap with the interviewer if necessary. Stay relaxed and be yourself while watching what you say. If you cite names, occupations and addresses, get them right. Think about ideas for pictures. Try not to use jargon; readers understand simple English better. Prepare some catchy responses that address things you particularly want to highlight, and look for opportunities to throw them in. If you don't know the answer to a question, just admit it and offer to find it out. Be sure to steer clear from stereotypes and biases --being offensive is rarely effective. Be attentive to all the parts of the interview. At times, the most important question for the story may be buried in the interview. The reporter is probably going to use a recorder to enhance the accuracy of the story. Reporters will usually ask for permission to use a recorder and once you grant the permission, be extra careful with what you say. Behave as if you're being recorded, whether you are or not. Don't be frightened and silenced by a recorder, though. Speak as naturally as possible. Remember that what you want is to grab the readers' or spectators' attention. To do that, the simplest ways are the best. Keep your sentences short, your introduction brief and to the point, and your approach straightforward. Don't bore the listener and don't digress too much. A word of caution: Don't say anything you don't want to hear on the news or read in the paper tomorrow morning. Quotes can be taken out of context, jokes can end up in the headline, and a badly placed word can tarnish your organization for a long time. Watch out for any libelous and offensive statements. If you want to be off the record (that is, say something that is not official part of the interview), you have to say so before you start talking, not after. Off-the-records statement might still be used, although not attributed to you. You'll be on the safe side if you assume that everything you say is on the record and could be used by the media. What should you do if you're misquoted? Sometimes, reporters will take the liberty of editing your interview. That's quite a usual practice, aimed at making you sound better. However, sometimes this editing can cause you harm. If your edited quote captures the gist of what you said, let it go. However, if what you read doesn't sound like you, or was flat-out fabricated, you should take action. Treat everyone with respect, apologize for whatever is your fault, but take steps to correct the error right away and restate your initiative's real intentions and ideas. Such steps might include sending a request for a correction on the next issue, writing a letter to the editor, or writing a column explaining that what was attributed to you doesn't reflect your actual views. What should you do after the story has run? Your work isn't done after your story is out. You'll want to maintain your relationship with the reporter that you worked with, so send a thank-you note to him or her if appropriate. Ask when the story will run, and then get clippings of the story when it's out for your own records (or a recording, if it aired on television or on the radio.) In the future, keep the reporter updated on what you're up to and on upcoming events. Maybe you'll even get a follow-up story on your original story! Now that you're reading your story on the paper, watching it on TV, or listening to it on the radio, it's time to congratulate yourself. It's also time to think about what you learned. What did you learn that would make it easier or more effective the next time? Is there a better way of getting your story out? Can you build on the contacts and relationships you developed with the media? Hopefully, now you have a better sense of how this works, what people want to read, and how to focus on what really matters to your community. It's time to get ready for the next story!

Every Sunday at 10.30am we have a contemporary service with the sung worship mostly led by a music group and singers, with the organ accompanying us occasionally. We begin our service gathered together and after 15-20 minutes the children and young people go to their age specific groups. Sometimes the service is an ‘All Together’ service, and is appropriate for all ages. On the third Sunday of a month we share bread and wine together. On the second Sunday of the month we run Messy Church starting at 4.15pm till 6.00pm. Messy Church starts with crafts and activities in the church space - some of these are quieter and calm and other activities can be noisier and boisterous! After about 40 minutes we all move into the St Peter's Room (in the same building) for our celebration service when we sing, pray, have a bible reading and think more about the theme of Messy Church for that Sunday. Richard often does a trick to help us think about God. Around 5.20pm we move back into the church space, which has now been set up for eating, and we end with a hot meal. There is no need to book to come to Messy Church - just turn up and there is not cost to come to Messy Church; however we do invite a donation of £1 per person to cover our food costs, but if you forget your money on month or find this is too expensive, there is no pressure to pay anything....we would just love to welcome you to Messy Church. On the third Sunday of the month at 6.30pm we have an evening service of sung worship, prayer, ministry and conversation. This is a very informal service in the St Peter's Room and there is space and time to meet with God and let Him minister to you through the Holy Spirit. Wednesday at 10.30am is our mid-week Service in the St Peter's Room. An hour long, informal service where we sing (guitar led) and explore a bible passage together, pray and share holy communion. Tea and coffee is served afterwards. We are delighted to baptise children and adults into church. Baptism is the public declaration of faith in God, made by the person coming for baptism or parents if the child is too young to profess a faith for themselves. If you are interested in baptism, please contact Revd Anita Colpus. Baptisms take place during our main Sunday service and can also be by full immersion. There is no cost to be baptised in church. Congratulations if you are reading this section as you are thinking about getting married. It is a joy and pleasure to be involved with you and support you on this special day. Please contact Revd Anita Colpus to talk about your wedding day. If you are enquiring about your banns being read because you are getting married at another church, please contact Pearl Smith and she will arrange this with you. There are costs for church weddings and banns being read. At the sad and changing season of losing a loved one, God can be a comfort and give peace if we allow Him. If you would like a church service to give thanks for and celebrate the life of one who has died, we would be honoured to do this and journey with you at this sad time and we can also do a memorial service. Please contact Revd Anita Colpus for guidance and assistance. We also have a group for widows and widowers that meets monthly called ‘Changing Paths’; if you are interested in meeting others in a similar position, please contact Revd Anita Colpus. There are costs for church funerals. At St Luke's Church we believe that the children and young people have a part to play in the body of Christ. We run specific age groups which teaches, models and encourages them to become Children of God, whatever age. Our vision is to teach them about the incredible love of God and the fun and adventure involved in following Jesus. Bubbles is for children aged 2-6 and meets Sunday during the morning service. They praise God, learn about Him and have fun together. Explore is for children aged 7-10 and meets Sunday mornings during the morning service. They learn about God in appropriate ways for their age with fun, exciting and challenging activities. We hope and pray they will come to know God for themselves and grow in faith. Occasionally they are involved in the morning service. Thirst is for young people aged 11-14 and meets Sunday mornings during the morning service. Through reading the bible and discussions we try to encourage the young people to go deeper in their faith by thinking about how they live their lives and what relevance their faith has in their lives. Youth Group is for young people aged 15 + and meets most Sunday evenings in term time. Meeting between 7.30pm and 9pm the young people have time to chill, play games and discuss issues regarding faith. It is an opportunity for them to immerse themselves in what it really means to be a Christian.

have gone viral to tell people what annoys them in the most passive aggressive way. With the new year comes the idea of having a fresh start and being a better version of yourself. A stick man named Bill is popping up all over the Internet to tell you how to do that, even if it stings a little. "Be Like Bill" memes are being shared across social media to call out people's annoying habits online and in daily life. From people who don't use blinkers to that guy from high school who keeps inviting you to play Candy Crush, the memes call out these folks in the most passive-aggressive way. Click the slideshow above to see the annoying habits called out in "Be Like Bill" memes. While the meme's origin is a little hazy, it has its own Facebook page with more than 1.3 million Likes. The page was started by Eugeni Croituru, a Moldovan man, who explained to the BBC that the meme is just about being considerate. "'Bill can be anyone who is smart and has common sense and doesn't do annoying things," he said. "You'll also notice Bill can be someone who makes fun of himself and jokes about others too occasionally."

Eat: Enjoy the tasty menu below. Eat until satisfied. A low-carb high-fat diet reduces hunger, and there’s usually no need for snacking if you’re doing it right.1 If you’re hungry between meals, add more fat – like butter, olive oil or mayo – to your next meal.23 And consider increasing the portion size. Make sure you get enough salt: We recommend drinking a cup of bouillon or adding more salt to your food every day during the first week.5 This will help you minimize the risk of early side effects, like headache, lethargy or irritability. Learn more. Keep in mind that the first week is the hardest. Once you’re done with the first week, you will most likely feel good… probably even great! You may feel energized and you will most likely wave goodbye to those first pounds too. Now it’s crucial to keep going! That’s what people often say. But unfortunately this philosophy usually results in failure, especially long term.8 What’s wrong with moderation? In the video below, six of the top low-carb doctors in the world give their quick and spontaneous answers to that common question.

I had visited Malvan and Sindhudurg last year with Deccan Odyssey. Then I enjoyed the fort in the sea and the quiet Tarkarli beach with a lavish Malvani lunch. What I missed on that trip was the adventure activities like Scuba Diving in Malvan and Snorkeling. Soon after I did get to Snorkel in South China sea in Malaysia. Scuba Diving still remained on my to-do list. After we shifted to Goa, I had Scuba Diving in Malvan on my mind. This Tuesday we did an impromptu driving trip to Malvan beach primarily for Scuba Diving in Malvan. The road along the jetty that takes boats to Sindhudurg is a row of vendors offering scuba diving and snorkeling. Most of them were local youth who probably have basic training in conducting dives. They take you to the boat that serves as your base for diving – a very basic boat with a small changing room on top. The dive suits that they gave us were definitely old as they were torn at many places and looks overused. The shoes were new but not the ones with fins. Upon inquiry, I was told that they are meant for the guides who would come along with us. They offer two types of dives – commercial and cylinder as they call them. First, one has the oxygen supplied from the boat and can go no deeper than 20 feet. In the latter, the oxygen cylinder is tied to your back and you can go as deep as you can physically take. In Malvan though the depth of the sea where diving is done is not very great so from an experience perspective it may not make much of a difference. Add to this the fact that cylinder diving comes at double the cost of commercial one. Most guides speak only Marathi and workable Hindi. Which can be a limiting factor for those who do not speak or understand these languages? They give you basic training on breathing with the equipment on. Although it is as simple as breathing only through the mouth, it takes some time to get used to it. And doing it effortlessly so that you can enjoy the underwater world. Going underwater is always an exhilarating experience. What we see there is unbelievable in the world above. The sheer variety of vegetation and corals is overwhelming. You wonder how these hard corals a living being, how these ferns are standing on the sea bottom. How the algae actually look like a carpet drawn on the seabed. You wonder if all the colorful fishes in the world have conspired to stay underwater, as the fishes you see in the fish market are all dirty grey. The way they move around you, tease you and play with you when you are in their territory is a sheer joy to see and feel. You know, you never feel they are real. It always feels like you are visiting a dream sequence. I am already looking forward to my next big dive. Where would it be is an element of a bit of research and financial planning? Recommend you to read the following Places to visit in Maharashtra. Scuba diving in Malvan.Place is super cool with lots of colored verity fishes. I would like to go back to this place again. But all things are possible to watch me because of Sea Water Sports. staff was helpful. They helped me a lot. I thank to sea water sports.

Flower Mound resident Debbie Sardone has been cleaning up for 35 years. She started her maid service out of the trunk of her car to make some extra money — the only ‘maid’ in her employ. But just eight years later, she had a book of business and wanted more, so she hired employees, moved herself into the owner/manager role and built Buckets & Bows Maid Service. Today, with an operations manager and staff running the day-to-day operations at her company, Debbie spends much of her time teaching and coaching other maid services around the world how to grow to be a million dollar business. Debbie is a learner: self-taught, always reading and never without a coach to keep growing her own skills. To wit, when she was cleaning houses herself, she found an ad in the back of the newspaper for the book Speed Cleaning by house cleaning expert Jeff Campbell. Jeff’s techniques promised consistency and efficiency and a complete house cleaning in 42 minutes. Debbie bought the book, taught herself the techniques and put them to use in her business. She eventually met Campbell at a conference, enthusiastically introduced herself as a fan and, years later, collaborated with Campbell on a book for the professional cleaner using Jeff’s original trade techniques. She’s built on that original 70-page book for the pros with a membership-based training and coaching program, live workshops, instructional DVDs, and business forms and documents, all focused on giving other maid services what they need to replicate her cleaning business success. Today, hundreds of maid services in the US and Canada and as far afield as UAE, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland come to Debbie and Buckets & Bows Maid Service for how to grow their own business. They watch Debbie on YouTube, follow her on Facebook, join her Cleaning Business Fundamentals program, implement her pro Speed Cleaning™ training program and make field trips to the Buckets & Bows office in Lewisville to see how it runs. The employee training program that Debbie implemented at Buckets & Bows is now being recognized by the cleaning industry. Previously offered as a two-day live conference to which cleaning business owners had to travel, at their expense and losing time at their own businesses, Debbie and her team are bringing employee training right to the owner’s door, wherever in the world that might be. DVDs, books, workbooks, exercises, forms and even graduation certificates neatly organized in a media literature kit, the Speed Cleaning™ for the Pros Employee Training System is the first complete training system for the residential cleaning industry. And it has been nominated for the 2018 ISSA Innovation Award, running against powerhouses and household names in cleaning. It’s a comprehensive set of tools to help create an in-house training program for onboarding new employees and refreshing the skills of veteran staff. The system is designed to improve quality, consistency and efficiency while reducing payroll costs and employee turnover; it’s a win-win-win for business owners, employees and the customers they clean for, just as it has been at Buckets & Bows Maid Service for so many years. Voting for the ISSA Innovation Award takes place now through October 15th. You can see all nominees and vote for the Speed Cleaning™ for the Pros Employee Training System HERE. You’ll need to create an account but it’s free and ensures voting integrity. Not only terrific & thorough service but delightful personnel as well! So glad I chose this company. Very impressed with their service. A special shout out to Stephanie. I have just received my first visit from Buckets & Bows and they did an amazing job. Staff is top notch .

Alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (A1HV-1) is gammaherpesvirus that can cause the devastating, fatal disease malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) in susceptible ruminant hosts but not in its natural host the blue wildebeest. Despite its scientific and economic importance little is known about the underlying molecular basis of MCF pathogenesis. The purpose of this study is to characterise four unique open reading frames (ORFs) of A1HV-1 and examine their contribution to viral pathogenesis. These ORFs are located at the left hand end of the genome, a region known to contain unique transforming and immunomodulatory genes in other gammaherpesviruses, and are predicted to encode two small gene products with no significant homology to any known proteins (ORF A1 and ORF A4), a transcription factor (ORF A2) and a member of the semaphorin family (ORF A3). A 6.2 Kb fragment from A1F1V-1 containing all four ORFs under their natural promoters was cloned into the left hand end region of murine gammaherpesvirus-76 (MHV-76). This allowed for the study of the in vivo contribution to pathogenesis of the gene products in a well characterised small animal model. The recombinant virus showed no difference in its ability to replicate in vitro. Viral titres and lung pathology in infected mice were also comparable although the A1HV-1 gene transcripts were detectable. The ORF A2 gene product expressed as a recombinant fusion protein in mammalian cells consistently showed nuclear localisation, supporting the prediction that this protein functions as a transcription factor. However, attempts to conclusively demonstrate transcriptional activity of this protein were unsuccessful.

A short while ago I had a colleague send me an interesting article from the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Nursing (2007, 20, 1; p. 27-39). In it, Lyons Hardy tackles attachment theory and Reactive Attachment Disorder and some implications for treatment in a residential setting. In particular, Hardy makes a clear case for the need to move away from behavior modification interventions and makes a case for a longer-term residential relationship model. An attachment-based approach would thus not rely on behavioral modification techniques or punitive approaches to change behaviors. Behaviors would be interpreted in terms of their underlying meaning, and interventions would be designed to address the childs need for emotional closeness, consistency, acceptance, and stability. A short-term residential treatment facility would be an undesirable location for treatment, because it involves frequent changes in both caregivers and peers and would discourage the formation of long-term bonds. Periodically, we become aware of this type of research or theoretical work that supports what we do at Calo. When I see such evidence I like to find a place to share it and our blog made some sense. Let me add some other quotes that support what we do at Calo if I may. Hardy is clear that therapy per se, sitting and talking, is not the most important factor in creating change. We could not agree more at Calo. To quote Hardy, the therapeutic milieu is seen as the most important factor in successful treatment of attachment disorders. The milieu is where our students get to practice all the relationship changes they are making. That environment coupled with experiential therapies and inventive interventions that tackle maladaptive emotional responses are foundational to good residential treatment from an attachment perspective. Treatment seeks to remediate the negative working model using experiential methods; modeling healthy attachment cycles, reducing shame, safe and nurturing physical contact, re-experiencing the affect associated with the trauma in order to integrate the experience and not dissociate. I recognize that this research language is hard to wade through for those not in the field of psychology. Still, for some of you who read our blog I am hopeful that Hardys work resonates.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those suffering the effects of Hurricane Sandy, which slammed the East Coast last night, knocking out power to millions, killing 17 people and destroying homes and businesses in one of the country’s most populous regions. Here on the Gulf Coast, we’re familiar with the sense of shock and numbness that comes in the immediate aftermath of a major storm event, so we really do feel for you guys and we hope you bounce back quickly. Getting back to a normal routine will take time, but one of the most comforting ways of doing so is getting your mind off the damage and on something much more enjoyable. Dr. Saturday’s run-down of explains which college football teams are most likely to be affected by the storm’s impacts. While there aren’t yet indications of games being postponed, several teams will have practices and game prep disrupted, including UConn, Navy, Maryland and West Virginia. WVU was subjected to horrific blizzard conditions during the storm and may take a while to dig out. If it’s at all possible—if roads are safe to drive on and facilities are safe to hold thousands of fans looking for a change of mood and spirit—the games should be played Saturday. Safety of players, families and fans is paramount, of course. But showing resiliency in the face of adversity is an American trait, and a competitive spirit even when the odds are against you is one of the things that makes college football great. And what could be more therapeutic than a nice slate of football games this weekend? If it’s safe and feasible to do so, play on!

The following account is by a member of DTE staff who attended the recent national forestry congress in Jakarta. The fourth Indonesian Forestry Congress was held in the Forestry Department Building, Manggala Wanabakti, in Jakarta on 13-15 September 2006. The theme was 'From Crisis to Resurgence: Repositioning Indonesian Forestry', and the congress was opened by vice-president Yusuf Kalla. Flash floods hit southeastern Aceh in late April, killing at least nineteen people and injuring dozens more. The disaster can be linked to the huge demand for reconstruction timber in post-tsunami Aceh. The floods brought rocks, logs and water crashing down hillsides, completely destroying people's homes late on April 26th, when most villagers were asleep. The villages of Lawe Gerger, Lawe Mengkudu, and Lawe Lak-Lak in Southeast Aceh district, were worst hit. Representatives from Asian countries including Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, East Timor, Burma, Sri Lanka and the Philippines joined others from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland for an international solidarity meeting on West Papua in April/May.

The way to pick the perfect pair of shin guards Shin guards are a crucial piece of equipment in a lot of combat sports like Muay Thai. Such protection is especially necessary for beginners who don’t have the control of experts – otherwise it is only too easy to injure oneself or a partner. Don’t take unnecessary damage to your shin If you’re practicing a contact martial art that uses the shin as a striking area, then shin protection is absolutely necessary. The shin can easily be seriously damaged if you make contact with bone – either against the opponent’ forearm or against the opponent’s shin. Shin on shin contact is especially dangerous, as you can imagine. Injury from full contact sparring or competition can range from swollen bones right up to having small chips of bone broken off your shin. But even worse, the shin is a dangerous offensive weapon, and even if you don’t hurt yourself, the chances are that you will hurt your partner seriously. A good shin guard allows conditioning Remember, injuries cause a break in training – which can be quite a serious problem, especially for beginners, though a break in training is never good news for any fighter. Shin guards allow you to do training drills safely, and even better, allows you to condition your shin against a heavy bag, which you would not be able to do reliably and safely without shin protection. Now, here’s a rundown of the various shin protectors on the market… Muay Thai shin protectors with straps. This is just about the most traditional design for the Muay Thai fighter, shin protectors of heavy leather, with plenty of padding and protection for the shin and the foot. These guards are fastened with straps, and are highly recommended. It’s especially good that these cover the foot, as people often don’t realize how easily the foot can take injury. Sock-type shin protectors. You slip these on the way you would a pair of socks. They fit very well, but hardly give the same level of protection as do Muay Thai shin protectors. However, these are very popular with MMA fighters, and obviously suffice for MMA bouts. There are certain advantages to these protectors – they fit so well and shift so rarely in combat that a fighter doesn’t have to adjust them all the time. They are more often used in competition than in sparring and training, as many people prefer higher level of protection in training. Size as opposed to protection Do remember that a bulky or heavy shin protector will affect your ability to kick swiftly, so a shin protector becomes a matter of size and protection balanced by weight. You need to get yourself shin protection that will protect you reasonably adequately, while not interfering with your ability to go on a kicking offensive. There are other ways in which the manufacturers of shin protectors try to balance size and weight. Increasingly, shin protectors are made for advanced fighters that are thick enough to protect the shin bone itself, but narrow, so that the shin bone is all they protect, as opposed to the way wider guards protect the entire leg. The result? Increased speed, but bruises on the area of the leg not covered by the guards during training and sparring. But many advanced fighters are willing to put up with this for the increased speed and ‘edge’ this gives them. Others consider these bruises valuable conditioning. Whatever shin protectors you buy, you need to be sure that you maintain them properly. This means using a disinfectant on them after training (this can be put on using a cloth or via a spray), and then drying them off properly. Shin protectors can absorb a lot of sweat during a training session – you need to put them somewhere where they can dry off thoroughly. The best way to choose shin guards is to visit your local mma shop and check out your options. Then buy the shin guards of your choice online to save money.

Note that this is slightly different to closely related "A trailing decimal point can be consued with a dot" error, although JSLint will use that message in this situation too. This error is raised to highlight a potentially confusing piece of code. Your script will run without error if you do not change it, but it could be confusing to other developers, especially at first glance. Since a number can only contain a single decimal point the parser is able to determine that any subsequent occurences of the character after a numeric literal can only be intended as a member operator. In other words the ambiguity of the . character is removed. However the construct can appear confusing at first glance. In JSHint 1.0.0 and above you have the ability to ignore any warning with a special option syntax. The identifier of this warning is W005. This means you can tell JSHint to not issue this warning with the /*jshint -W005 */ directive.

We have developed and implemented electronic prelabs, postlab and data collection exercises for organic chemistry laboratory experiments, and these computerized scoring methods have emerged as an increasingly powerful tool in our teaching laboratories. Over the course of the last two years, thousands of students have had to input stoichiometric calculations, draw chemical reactions, report research data, submit unknown identifications and provide answers to experimentally pertinent questions. Their work has been immediately scored prior to their laboratory experiment, which allows for better preparation and understanding for a successful laboratory experience. The shift of grading effort from human to computer allows instructors and teaching assistants to devote more of their time and energy to enriching the educational experience of their students. The implementation of these grading methods has resulting in reduced grading burden in a time of decreased resources, and contributed to improved stoichiometric and structural understanding of organic chemistry amongst our laboratory students.

Bushtracker Forum :: View topic - LITHIUM BATTERY UPGRADES TO OLDER BUSHTRACKER VANS.. Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2015 10:35 am Post subject: LITHIUM BATTERY UPGRADES TO OLDER BUSHTRACKER VANS.. Here is the cost of the Lithium upgrades including GST. We do not do the marginal job of it like others do, we put in safety systems to protect the batteries and system from accidental or negligent poor management that could cause damage. So if your system is on a newer Bushtracker already using a Enerdrive charger and Morningstar regulator, these can be reused reducing the cost by between $904 and $1019. Depends on size of charger. Having had the 300ah Lithium upgrade done by Bushtracker in 2016 I became unhappy with the solar charge from the three original 120w solar panels. One failed & one was giving poor charge despite the panels looking as new. I had Bushtracker do a complete solar upgrade to four 150w Enerdrive panels. The result is now spectacular. Full recovery by early afternoon from 70%. No base load power required for over one month travelling in QLD & NT. Genuine off grid performance with no restriction on power use.

Map Triggers are a powerful tool for designing "scenario" and "events" based maps. They allow the creation of space/time events, triggered by player / commander / npc actions, and causing the execution of custom Game Scripts (GS). The Trigger performs a certain test, either continuously or intermitently. When this test becomes true, the trigger executes a Game Script. If the Trigger was designed to run once, it is removed, otherwise it carries on testing as before. The map's objective is to build gars/subs on both hills north of the map. The command centers cannot be damaged, and mines never deplete. A central hill with bushes that contain "surprises". (players can get on this hill using the jumppad or teleporter facing their base). A redstone mine south of the map, standing on an "icerink". Triggers Panel: Used to add/modify Map Triggers. Use the Scripts Panel to add your own Game Scripts (GS) to the Map. The editor features a library of templates, to help you getting started with GS. Give something (object, mana, ammo, health...) to the object that activated the Trigger. Deal damage to or around this object. Temporarily alter the physics of a client (jumppads/ejectors/teleporters). Create/Modify server cvars. Example -> !exec null "set sv_minesUnlimited 1" <-makes mines unlimited on that map. Run server side commands. Example -> !exec null "endgame 1" <- ends the game with team 1 victorious (see Server_Commands). Run client side commands, like "special" visual/sound effects. Do not attempt to add other entries (@ symbol), as they will not be taken into account. The <target> parameter should be either "target" (the object that activated the Trigger) or "null". Other values will not work. Once you have added your Game Scripts, you can now create the Triggers that will cause their execution. A Trigger performs a certain Test, either continuously or intermitently. When this test becomes valid, the Trigger tells the server to execute the Game Script that is linked to it. If the trigger was designed to be run once it is deleted, otherwise it carries on performing the test again. Xpos, Ypos, Zpos define the position of the box. Length, Width, Height define the dimensions of the box. once: Use this flag to activate the Trigger only once. obj_client, obj_npc, obj_item, obj_building: Type of objects that can activate the Trigger. Several types can be specified in a single Trigger. onEnter: Trigger activates when a compatible object enters inside the volume of the box. onInside: Trigger is activated as long as a compatible object is inside the box. WARNING: This causes the script to be executed for each server frame! onLeave: Trigger activates when a compatible object leaves the volume of the box. Script: Specify the Game Script to be excecuted when the Trigger activates. Axis: X, Y or Z, axis with which the plane is NOT aligned. Offset: Position of plane from zero position along the axis defined above. Invert: Decides whether activation happens when objects are either above or underneath the plane (value is 0 or 1). onEnter: Trigger activates when a compatible object enters inside the plane. onInside: Trigger is activated as long as a compatible object is inside the plane. WARNING: This causes the script to be executed for each server frame! onLeave: Trigger activates when a compatible object leaves the plane. Xpos, Ypos, Zpos define the position of the sphere. Radius defines the dimension of the sphere. onEnter: Trigger activates when a compatible object enters inside the volume of the sphere. onInside: Trigger is activated as long as a compatible object is inside the sphere. WARNING: This causes the script to be executed for each server frame! onLeave: Trigger activates when a compatible object leaves the volume of the sphere. If an "obj_***" flag is used, the trigger will run the specified script for every existing object of that type. If the "event" flag is used instead, the trigger will run only one instance of the specified script, and then wait for the next activation time. Min: Time between activations of the Trigger (in msec). Max: If specified, the time between activations will randomly vary in the range [Min:Max]. event: Only runs one instance of the script, with no particular target. obj_client, obj_npc, obj_item, obj_building: Objects affected by the activation. Several types can be specified in a single Trigger. Condition Triggers are automatically activated when ALL the specified conditions are TRUE. If the "event" flag is used instead, the trigger will run only one instance of the specified script. Here are some example of the things you can do with Triggers. All these examples are taken from the map xr_triggers. Paint a Tile on the terrain with a different texture. Create a script called jumppad.gs, and enter the text shown. Place an aabox Trigger over the Tile, and enter the flags shown. NOTE: The flag "onInside" means the negative gravity effect is applied for each frame that the unit is within the box, producing a progressive acceleration effect! Create a script called teleport.gs, and enter the text shown (You can replace 1500 1500 with any other X Y coordinate on the map). NOTE: Always use the flag "onEnter" or "onLeave" with teleporters. "onInside" will produce undesired effects. Create a script called eject.gs, and enter the text shown (The X Y Z values define the direction and stength of the push). Place an aabox Trigger near a ledge or cliff, and enter the flags shown. NOTE: The flag "onEnter" means the ejection will happen in a single frame, producing the effect of being slapped! Create a flat area on the map, then either paint it white or use the "iceplane" object. Create a script called ice.gs, and enter the text shown. Place an aabox Trigger that covers the flat area, and enter the flags shown. NOTE: Creating a thin box means that players can stop squidding when they jump. If you want to prevent this, you can make the box as high as the height of a jump. Place a bush on the map. Create a script, and enter the text shown. Place a pshere Trigger around the bush, and enter the flags shown. NOTE: Examples of scripts for your Goodies Bush: !heal !damage !die !give !giveammo !givemana !givestamina !givestate. In some cases (like heal or damage) it is better to use the flag "onInside" to produce a constant effect while object is in the bush. Place a large bush on the map. Place an aabox Trigger around the bush, and enter the flags shown. NOTE: It is possible to make the npcs hostile or neutral to the object that activated the trigger. As shown in this example, it is also possible to automatically give the goal of attacking a npc that was spawned. To automatically spawn the npcs near the bush use "near" instead of "coords". Create an interval Trigger, and enter the parameters & flags shown. NOTE: The 5000ms delay allows enough time for all clients to reload the map and start the game. Using a lower value could mean that some clients will not receive the message. REMEMBER to add the flag "once", otherwise your start message will become a spam message! NOTE: Enter an interval sufficiently large to avoid annoying players! Spam message can be useful to remind players of the map's objectives. Create a script called adrenaline.gs, and enter the text shown. NOTE: You can randomize the interval between instances of the event by entering different Min and Max values (in msec)! Any of the following script functions are suitable for special events: !heal !damage !give !giveammo !givemana !givestamina !givestate. Adding Map Ojectives takes a little thinking and planning before you add the Triggers. It is advised that you first draw a logic tree on a piece of paper, and make sure that your logics have no loop holes or exploits. First Team to construct garrisons or sublairs on the 2 hills north of the map wins. One checking for gars/subs being constructed (flag "onEnter"). The other checking for gars/subs being destroyed (flag "onLeave"). This means we also need a "startup" trigger that creates the Cvars and makes them equal to 0. Trigger 1: if [_hill1_team1>0] and [_hill2_team1>0] then execute "Victory Team 1" Script. Trigger 2: if [_hill1_team2>0] and [_hill2_team2>0] then execute "Victory Team 2" Script. Make sure that command centers cannot take damage (startup script: set sv_baseDamage 0). Once several buildings have been built & destroyed, redstone will run out and commanders may not have enough to build the final gar/sub. So make sure that mines never run out (startup script: set sv_mineDepletion 0). Initialises our custom Cvars when the game starts, and sets some important server settings. Create a script called startup.gs, and enter the text shown. NOTE: Min value 1 ensures that the Trigger will activate during the first server frame, but do not enter 0. REMEMBER: Use the "once" flag, otherwise the Cvars will be zeroed for every server frame! Create 1 script for each hill, and enter the text shown (use hill1 and hill2). Place a psphere Trigger on top of each hill, and enter the flags shown. Enter the following text in Restrict: "human_garrison,beast_sublair" (no whitespaces). Finally, link to the correct script. NOTE: The Cvar gs_object_team tells us which Team the building that activated the trigger belongs to (see GS Internal Cvars for more info). Condition Triggers that monitor the values of the hills Cvars, until one Team wins. Create 1 victory Script for each team, and enter the text shown (use 1 and 2). Create 1 condition Trigger for each team, and enter the flags shown. The conditions should be: [_hill1_team1>0] and [_hill2_team1>0] for the first Trigger, and [_hill1_team2>0] and [_hill2_team2>0] for the second Trigger. Finally, link to the correct script.

Matched by Ally Condie is the first of the Matched trilogy. Cassia at age 17 is ready for the matching ceremony and lucky enough to have it fall on her actual birthday. Most teens are matched to other teens living in different cities but Cassia's match ends up being her best friend, who is also present at the ceremony. Just as she's settling into the perfect fairytale ending ever, the picture in her matching info packet changes, to show another boy she knows, and one due to a family crime can never be matched. That opening scene sets up a near future society familiar to any regular reader of speculative or dystopian fiction. It's set squarely with George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Ira Levin's This Perfect Day. As the society seems to be functioning at the start of the book — with a fairly high acceptance rate — I'd say the book is closer to Levin than Orwell. The Society's stated goal (whether true or not) is to provide the best possible life for all its citizens through the management of personal data. Cassia is on track to be a Sorter — one of the Society who take the data and make decisions based on it. She's very good at it — efficient and observant. And as she has the eyes of the Society for a very important position, she gets glimpses into the seedier underpinnings of it. And it was through the Sorting plot that I fell in love with the book. See, I'm a sorter too, of a sort. The Society is basically a curated one, a civilization created and run by over zealous librarians who uniformly decided on the 100 best songs, 100 best poems, 100 best novels, 100 best movies and how best to use metadata to manage people.

Did Jesus Exist (Part Two of a Two-Part Series)-- Except for Josephus probably no writer of antiquity has been more relied upon by apologists to prove the existence of Jesus than the Roman historian, Tacitus. In the Annals he related the measures taken by Nero to lessen the suffering brought about by the great fire in Rome in 64 A.D. as well as remove its traces and, then allegedly made the following statements: "But neither the aid of man, nor the liberality of the prince, nor the propitiations of the gods succeeded in destroying the belief that the fire had been purposely lit. In order to put an end to this rumor, therefore, Nero laid the blame on and visited with severe punishment those men, hateful for their crimes, whom the people called Christians. He from whom the name was derived, Christus, was put to death by the procurator Pontius Pilate in the reign of Tiberius. But the pernicious superstition, checked for a moment, broke out again, not only in Judea, the native land of the monstrosity, but also in Rome, to which all conceivable horrors and abominations flow from every side, and find supporters. First, therefore, those were arrested who openly confessed; then, on their information, a great number, who were not so much convicted of the fire as of hatred of the human race. Ridicule was passed on them as they died; so that, clothed in skins of beasts, they were torn to pieces by dogs, or crucified, or committed to the flames, and when the sun had gone down they were burned to light up the night. Nero had lent his garden for this spectacle, and gave games in the Circus, mixing with the people in the dress of a charioteer or standing in the chariot. Hence there was a strong sympathy for them, though they might have been guilty enough to deserve the severest punishment, on the ground that they were sacrificed, not to the general good, but to the cruelty of one man." (Annals XV, 44). The number of problems associated with this paragraph are almost too numerous to mention: (1) It is extremely improbable that a special report found by Tacitus had been sent earlier to Rome and incorporated into the records of the Senate, in regard to the death of a Jewish provincial, Jesus. The execution of a Nazareth carpenter would have been one of the most insignificant events conceivable among the movements of Roman history in those decades; it would have completely disappeared beneath the innumerable executions inflicted by Roman provincial authorities. For it to have been kept in any report would have been a most remarkable instance of chance. That the founder of Christianity was put to death under Tiberius by the procurator Pontius Pilate must have been discovered in the same archive which, according to Tertullian, also said the sun was darkened at midday when Jesus died. (2) The phrase "multitudo ingens" which means "a great number" is opposed to all that we know of the spread of the new faith in Rome at the time. A vast multitude in 64 A.D.? There were not more than a few thousand Christians 200 years later. (3) Death by fire was not a form of punishment inflicted at Rome in the time of Nero. It is opposed to the moderate principles on which the accused were then dealt with by the State. The use of the Christians as "living torches," as Tacitus describes, and all the other atrocities that were committed against them, have little title to credence, and suggest an imagination exalted by reading stories of the later Christian martyrs. (4) The Roman authorities can have had no reason to inflict special punishment on the new faith. How could the non-initiated Romans know what were the concerns of a comparatively small religious sect, which was connected with Judaism and must have seemed to the impartial observer wholly identical with it. (5) Suetonius himself says that Nero showed the utmost indifference, even contempt in regard to religious sects. Even afterwards the Christians were not persecuted for their faith, but for political reasons, for their contempt of the Roman state and emperor, and as disturbers of the unity and peace of the empire. What reason, then can Nero have had to proceed against the Christians, hardly distinguishable from the Jews, as a new and criminal sect. (6) It is inconceivable that the followers of Jesus formed a community in the city at that time of sufficient importance to attract public attention and the ill-feeling of the people. (7) The victims could not have been given to the flames in the gardens of Nero, as Tacitus allegedly said. According to another account by Tacitus these gardens were the refuge of those whose homes had been burned and were full of tents and wooden sheds. It is hardly probable that Nero would have incurred the risk of a second fire by his living torches. (8) According to Tacitus, Nero was in Antium, not Rome, when the fire occurred. (9) The blood-curdling story about the frightful orgies of Nero reads like some Christian romance of the Dark Ages and not like Tacitus. Suetonius, while mercilessly condemning the reign of Nero, says that in his public entertainments Nero took particular care that no lives should be sacrificed, "not even those of condemned criminals." (10) It is highly unlikely that he mingled with the crowd and feasted his eyes on the ghastly spectacle. Tacitus tells us in his life of Agricola that Nero had crimes committed, but kept his own eyes off them. (11) Some authorities allege that the passage in Tacitus could not have been interpolated because his style of writing could not have been copied. But this argument is without merit since there is no "inimitable" style for the clever forger, and the more unususal, distinctive, and peculiar a style is, like that of Tacitus, the easier it is to imitate. Moreover, as far as the historicity of Jesus is concerned we are, perhaps, interested only in one sentence of the passage and that has nothing distinctively Tacitan about it. (12) Tacitus is assumed to have written this about 117 A.D., about 80 years after the death of Jesus, when Christianity was already an organized religion with a settled tradition. The gospels, or at least 3 of them, are supposed to have been in existence. Hence Tacitus might have derived his information about Jesus, if not directly from the gospels, indirectly from them by means of oral tradition. This is the view of Dupuis, who wrote: "Tacitus says what the legend said." In 117 A.D. Tacitus could only know about Christ by what reached him from Christian or intermediate circles. He merely reproduced rumors. (13) What does it matter whether or not Tacitus wrote this passage? He could only have received the information, a hundred years after the time, from people who had told it to others. It doesn't matter, therefore, whether or not the passage is genuine. (14) In no other part of his writings did Tacitus make the least allusion to "Christ" or "Christians." (15) Tacitus is also made to say that the Christians took their denomination from Christ which could apply to any of the so-called Christs who were put to death in Judea, including Christ Jesus. (16) The worshippers of the Sun-god Serapis were also called "Christians." Serapis or Osiris had a large following at Rome especially among the common people. (17) The expression "Christians" which Tacitus applies to the followers of Jesus, was by no means common in the time of Nero. Not a single Greek or Roman writer of the first century mentions the name. The Christians who called themselves Jessaeans, Nazoraeans, the Elect, the Saints, the Faithful, etc. were universally regarded as Jews. They observed the Mosaic law and the people could not distinguish them from the other Jews. The Greek word Christus (the anointed) for Messiah, and the derivative word, Christian, first came into use under Trajan in the time of Tacitus. Even then, however, the word Christus could not mean Jesus of Nazareth. All the Jews without exception looked forward to a Christus or Messiah. It is, therefore, not clear how the fact of being a "Christian" could, in the time of Nero or of Tacitus, distinguish the followers of Jesus from other believers in a Christus or Messiah. Not one of the gospels applies the name Christians to the followers of Jesus. It is never used in the New Testament as a description of themselves by the believers in Jesus. (18) Most scholars admit that the works of Tacitus have not been preserved with any degree of fidelity. (19) This passage which could have served Christian writers better than any other writing of Tacitus, is not quoted by any of the Christian Fathers. It is not quoted by Tertullian, though he often quoted the works of Tacitus. Tertullian's arguments called for the use of this passage with so loud a voice that his omission of it, if it had really existed, amounted to a violent improbability. (20) Eusebius in the 4th century cited all the evidence of Christianity obtained from Jewish and pagan sources but makes no mention of Tacitus. (21) This passage is not quoted by Clement of Alexandria who at the beginning of the 3rd century set himself entirely to the work of adducing and bringing together all the admissions and recognitions which pagan authors had made of the existence of Christ Jesus or Christians before his time. (22) Origen in his controversy with Celsus would undoubtedly have used it had it existed. (23) There is no vestige or trace of this passage anywhere in the world before the 15th century. Its use as part of the evidences of the Christian religion is absolutely modern. Although no reference whatever is made to it by any writer or historian, monkish or otherwise, before the 15th century (1468 A.D.), after that time it is quoted or referred to in an endless list of works. (24) The fidelity of the passage rests entirely upon the fidelity of one individual (first published in a copy of the annals of Tacitus in the year 1468 by Johannes de Spire of Venice who took his imprint of it from a single manuscript) who would have every opportunity and inducement to insert such an interpolation. (25) In all the Roman records there was to be found no evidence that Christ was put to death by Pontius Pilate. If genuine, such a sentence would be the most important evidence in pagan literature. How could it have been overlooked for 1360 years? (26) And lastly, the style of the passage is not consistent with the usually mild and classic language of Tacitus. Concluding Comments on the Existence of Jesus--What else, then, can be said about the historicity of Jesus? (1) Many writers, such as Renan, have attempted to write his biography but failed, failed because no materials for such a work exist. (2) If Jesus was an historical person, how is it that not only does the Talmud never mention him but Paul's Epistles do not tell a single special fact about the life of Jesus? Read the other Epistles of the NT. Nowhere in any of the early Christian documents do we find even the slenderest reference to the mere man Jesus, the historical personality as such, from which we might infer that the author had a close acquaintance with him. His life, as described in the gospels, seems to have been entirely unknown to the authors. His speeches and sayings are hardly ever quoted and where this is done, as in the Epistle of James or the Book of Acts, they are not quoted as sayings of Jesus. (3) What can Josephus or Tacitus prove? They could at the most merely show that at the end of the 1st century not only the Christians but their traditions and Christ-myth were known in Rome. When the latter originated, however, and how far it was based on truth, could not be discovered from Tacitus or Josephus. (4) And finally, it should be mentioned that some writers are notable for what they didn't say about Jesus: (a) Philo was born before the beginning of the Christian era and lived until long after the reputed death of Christ. He wrote an account of the Jews covering the entire time that Christ is said to have existed on earth. He was living in or near Jerusalem when Christ's miraculous birth and the Herodian massacre occurred. He was there when Christ made his triumphal entry in Jerusalem. He was there when the Crucifixion with its attendant earthquake, supernatural darkness, and resurrection of the dead took place--when Christ himself rose from the dead. Yet, these events were not mentioned by him. (b) Under the reign of Tiberius the whole earth, or at least a celebrated province of the Roman empire, was allegedly involved in a preternatural darkness of three hours. Yet, Seneca and Pliny the Elder, who recorded all the great earthquakes, meteors, comets, and elipses they could find and who lived during the period of Jesus, failed to mention the event. (c) Justus of Tiberius was a native of Christ's own country, Galilee. He wrote a history covering the time of Christ's reputed existence. This work perished, but Photius, a Christian scholar and critic of the 9th century, was acquainted with it and said, "He (Justus) makes not the least mention of the appearance of Christ, of what things happened to him, or of the wonderful works that he did" (Photius, Bibliotheca, Code 33). Jesus and Other Gods--Christians contend all of the following pre-Christian sun-gods are mythological: Hercules, Osiris, Bacchus, Mithra, Hermes, Prometheus, Perseus, and Horus. Yet, all: (1) allegedly had gods for fathers and virgins for mothers; (2) had their births announced by stars and celestial music; (3) were born on the 25th of December (Solstice); (4) had tyrants trying to kill them when they were infants; (5) met with violent deaths; and (6) rose from the dead. Why BE Exists--Nearly every time the editor of BE has appeared on the radio callers have asked two basic questions: Do you believe in God and why are you doing this? As these queries are undoubtedly of concern to some, they need to be addressed. With respect to the first, BE takes no position on the existence of God. It is not a topic with which we are involved. Possibly this means we are agnostics as some have alleged. If so, it's not a consciously thought out position but more one by default. Rationally analyzing a tangible writing that is clearly affecting the lives of millions is of much greater concern. The second question is generally answered in the following vein: Thousands of people throughout this Country are giving as essentially one-sided presentation of the Bible. People are hearing all the pros and none of the cons, all the positives and none of the negatives. As of now it's been a decidedly lop-sided affair. How can people rationally and objectively analyze anything when given only one side of the picture? Someone, somebody, some group needs to travel the land and give a more balanced description of the Bible. Someone needs to expose the negative aspects so a more sensible perspective is possible. BE tries to fill the void by teaching a kind of Sunday-School-in-Reverse, by telling people all the things they should have heard in Sunday School but didn't. Only via this strategy can a truly accurate assessment materialize. For millions to hear only one side of a story is dangerous, especially when religion or politics are involved. If, after hearing both points of view to an equal degree, they still wish to follow the Bible, then so be it. That's their decision to make. But attorneys for the plaintiff and the defendant should have their say before a judgment is rendered. One of the more memorable moments in "evolutionary" history was the Oxford Debate of 1860 where Thomas Huxley provided a witty reply to a sarcastic and insulting question posed by Bishop Samuel "Soapy Sam" Wilberforce.

Global hackers' group Anonymous on Saturday released the personal information of another 6,216 subscribers of North Korean propaganda website Uriminzokkiri, on top of the 9,001 subscribers it revealed last week. Out of the total 15,000 subscribers whose information has been leaked, 2,600 are using e-mail addresses with major South Korean portal sites or websites. The police, prosecutors, and the National Intelligence Service started investigating on Friday based on the information but are struggling to make progress. It is impossible to confiscate the server of Uriminzokkiri as it is based in China, and users can sign up with a false name, so the authorities may face difficulty proving any South Korean laws were violated. The list of subscribers includes famous politicians such as former President Lee Myung-bak and former chairman of the Liberty Forward Party Lee Hoi-chang, as well as soldiers and policemen. But most are apparently fake. A police spokesman said, "It will take over a year to identify the members, uncover to their pro-North Korean activities and bring charges against them."

In December 2010, Burkina Faso became the first country to introduce PsA-TT (MenAfriVac), a new serogroup A meningococcal conjugate vaccine developed to eliminate epidemic meningitis in sub-Saharan Africa, via a national mass-immunization campaign. This campaign targeted persons aged 1–29 years, approximately 70% of the 16 million residents of the country. More than 11 million vaccine doses were administered in a 10-day period, for an estimated administrative coverage* of 102.6% (1). Accurate vaccination coverage estimates are critical for programmatic evaluation, identification of undervaccinated subpopulations, and for measurement of the impact of PsA-TT on serogroup A disease and carriage. In December 2011, the Burkina Faso Ministry of Health, in collaboration with CDC, conducted a stratified cluster survey to obtain regional and age-group–specific vaccination coverage estimates among campaign-eligible persons. National coverage was 95.9% (74.3% with vaccination card, 21.6% by recall), and coverage in the 13 regions of Burkina Faso ranged from 90.8% to 98.3%. Coverage was 97.0% in children aged 2–5 years, 97.4% in those aged 6–15 years, and 93.4% in those aged 16–30 years. The results of this survey demonstrate successful introduction of a new vaccine in Burkina Faso through a mass immunization campaign, the first step in a strategy aimed at rapidly interrupting transmission and carriage of serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis before introduction of the vaccine into national routine immunization programs. With phased introduction of PsA-TT planned through 2016 (2) in Africa's "meningitis belt,"† lessons learned from the Burkina Faso experience will help guide successful introduction of serogroup A meningococcal conjugate vaccine elsewhere. A national survey was conducted during December 17–27, 2011, using a stratified cluster sampling scheme to assess PsA-TT coverage achieved by the mass immunization campaign implemented during December 6–15, 2010, in Burkina Faso. The sampling frame for a target population of persons aged 2–30 years (those aged 1–29 years in December 2010) was derived from 2011 population estimates projected from the 2006 national census. Strata were defined by the 13 administrative regions. Twenty-five enumeration areas, which are the smallest geographic units into which the country is divided for the purposes of a census, were selected from each stratum in the first stage using probability proportional to size. In each enumeration area, field teams demarcated the boundaries of the enumeration area, enumerated all the households, and systematically selected 20 households by calculation of a sampling interval. All campaign-eligible persons residing in selected households were included. The sample size of 500 households per stratum was calculated to provide regional estimates for three age groups (2–5 years, 6–15 years, and 16–30 years) with +/-8% precision, assuming 80% coverage, 95% confidence intervals (CIs), a design effect§ of two, and a 5% nonresponse rate. A questionnaire was administered to the head of each of the consenting retained households to capture demographic and socioeconomic information for the household. Vaccination status, modes of communication regarding the vaccination campaign, and reasons for nonvaccination were recorded by direct interview with eligible household members, or by head of household or other parent for children too young to respond. Receipt of vaccination was documented by a vaccination card designed specifically for this campaign, or by recall. Additionally, residency in Burkina Faso during the 2010 campaign was recorded to obtain campaign coverage estimates and 2011 population coverage estimates, accounting for migration to and from bordering countries. Before survey implementation, a pilot study and formal training of field teams were conducted. Each field team consisted of two interviewers and a supervisor who were under the direction of a regional supervisor. The sample was assumed to be self-weighting within each stratum. For the national estimates, stratum-specific weights were included. Variance estimates using Taylor series linearization to account for the survey design were used to calculate 95% CIs. A total of 23,890 eligible persons from 6,455 households were surveyed; 6,434 (99.7%) of retained households consented to participation in the survey. Of enrolled consenting persons, 23,577 (99.2%) resided in Burkina Faso during the 2010 campaign. The 2011 estimated coverage among all surveyed persons did not differ significantly from estimated coverage among those residing in Burkina Faso during the 2010 campaign, and thus only results from those residing in Burkina Faso during the campaign are reported. National coverage was estimated to be 95.9%, with coverage documented by vaccination card for 74.3% and by recall only for 21.6%. Estimated coverage was >90% in all regions, with the lowest coverage in the most populous Centre region (90.8%) and highest in the Centre-Ouest region (98.3%) (Table 1). Coverage was 97.0% in children aged 2–5 years, 97.4% in those aged 6–15 years, and 93.4% in persons aged 16–30 years. Coverage was 96.1% in females and 95.8% in males. Highest coverage was in females aged 2–5 years (97.7%), and lowest in males aged 16–30 years (93.0%) (Table 2). Among the 775 unvaccinated persons with a known reason for nonvaccination, the most commonly cited reasons were as follows: not informed (44.2%), absence (16.4%), no vaccine available at site (7.6%), and did not know the location of the vaccination clinic (6.4%). The most commonly reported modes of campaign communication were criers (social mobilizers) (36.8%), community health workers (24.0%), family (13.4%), and school (9.6%).

Meyer, smeyer@cdc.gov, 404-639-3158. In the meningitis belt of sub-Saharan Africa, serogroup A meningococcal meningitis is a major cause of death and disability. Major epidemics occur every 5–12 years, with hundreds of thousands of cases and a case-fatality ratio of >10% (3). During 2010–2011, PsA-TT was introduced into the hyperendemic countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger through mass campaigns, at a cost of $0.40 per dose. As of December 2012, 100 million persons had been vaccinated in 10 countries, and introduction is planned in a further 16 countries by the end of 2016. As the first country to introduce PsA-TT on a national scale, Burkina Faso achieved >90% coverage in all regions, target age groups, and both sexes. These results demonstrate that mass vaccination of a large proportion of the population is an effective strategy to rapidly achieve high vaccine coverage. The scope of this campaign is unprecedented; previous measles and yellow fever campaigns have only targeted children aged <15 years or affected or at-risk districts, making this PsA-TT campaign the largest and most successful immunization activity in Burkina Faso's history (1). Particularly impressive is the high coverage in persons aged 16–30 years, especially among males, and the high card retention seen in all age groups 1 year after the immunization campaign. Overall administrative coverage estimates in the six countries that introduced PsA-TT during 2010–2011 were >90% in each country (4,5). However, administrative coverage estimates do not reliably provide valid estimates of coverage; therefore, population-based coverage surveys are needed to identify areas of potential undervaccination and population susceptibility (6). The rigorous sampling methods and large sample size in this survey provide a representative and precise estimate of PsA-TT coverage in Burkina Faso. Although the survey was conducted 1 year after the immunization campaign, the majority of persons had proof of vaccination by card. The potential for recall bias among those who reported vaccination by recall only might be offset by the high-profile nature of the disease and the vaccination campaign in Burkina Faso. In addition, because only the PsA-TT campaign was conducted during this period, vaccination with PsA-TT is unlikely to be confused with other vaccinations. Most persons living in Burkina Faso during the survey also reported living in Burkina Faso during the vaccination campaign; however, the campaign and survey were both during the start of the dry season in December, thus the effect of migration of potentially unvaccinated persons during other seasons is unknown. A remarkable early impact of PsA-TT has been demonstrated in Burkina Faso. In the 2 years since vaccine introduction, enhanced meningitis surveillance has detected only one confirmed case of serogroup A meningococcal meningitis in an unvaccinated Burkina Faso resident and no cases in vaccinated persons, representing a 99.8% risk reduction (7) (Direction de la Lutte Contre la Maladie. Burkina Faso Ministry of Health, unpublished data, 2012). This substantial reduction in disease among all age groups, including the 30% of the population outside of the target age for vaccination, not only indicates excellent early vaccine effectiveness, but also is suggestive of herd immunity. Achievement of high vaccination coverage in Burkina Faso demonstrates that coordinated preparation through microplanning, community engagement and mobilization, and development of a comprehensive communication plan are critical to successful vaccination campaigns (1). To eliminate epidemics of serogroup A meningococcal meningitis, high population immunity is necessary throughout the meningitis belt. After initial campaigns targeting persons aged 1–29 years, maintenance of high PsA-TT coverage through protection of each birth cohort is necessary, either by routine immunization services or periodic mass campaigns. When routine immunization or periodic mass campaigns will need to be initiated is not yet known. Reliable vaccination coverage estimates will continue to be needed to monitor and evaluate the introduction of this new vaccine, and to measure the impact of vaccination on achieving the goal of eliminating epidemic meningitis in the region.

Therefore, the design effect summarizes the effects of stratification, clustering, and unequal weighting on the variance of a complex sample design. Meningococcal meningitis epidemics are a major public health problem in the "meningitis belt" of sub-Saharan Africa. PsA-TT (MenAfriVac) is a new serogroup A meningococcal conjugate vaccine recently introduced in 10 of 26 target countries in this region. This study documents PsA-TT coverage after a mass immunization campaign in Burkina Faso, the first country to introduce PsA-TT nationally. Results of this survey demonstrate high coverage (>90%) in all regions, targeted age groups, and sexes. High PsA-TT vaccination coverage rates in Burkina Faso provide context for the observed reduction in meningitis disease rates. Maintenance of high levels of population immunity in Burkina Faso, and continued successful introduction of PsA-TT in other countries, will be important in the effort to eliminate epidemics of serogroup A meningococcal meningitis in sub-Saharan Africa. Rigorous coverage surveys will continue to be critical for monitoring introduction of this new vaccine. * Receipt of vaccination was documented by a vaccination card specifically designed for this campaign, or by verbal recall.

I wanted to take some time to answer your questions. I'll be continually updating this page as the questions roll in so don't hesitate to leave questions in the comment section. My first international trip was to Jamaica in 2007. Subsequently, I visited 8 times because it was just that great! Before the age of 25 I had never left the country. This question is always tricky to me. I got my first camera in 2007 but I quit my job to pursue photography full time in 2009, so lets say 9 years. I chose to make travel a priority in my life! Although, I'm based in LA I'm usually on the road 1-2 weeks a month. I've been blessed to travel for clients but when it's not a paid gig, I usually find flight deals or use miles/points. How do you plan your group trips? I wrote a comprehensive post about it here! I have a bucket list of about 10-20 countries that I have yet to visit so those take priority. When a deal or opportunity comes up in one of those places then I go! The strongest 3 on my list now are Myanmar, Cape Verde and Nepal.

It may be a midlife crisis, it may be the male menopause. For all I know, it may just be trapped wind. Whatever it is, I’ve had this feeling for some time that there must be more to life than eking out a living, treading water in the Sea of Tranquillity, grudgingly taking my place among the squeezed middle until my pension either kicks in or pegs out. What’s more, I think my wife is having the same thoughts. A huge floral tattoo on her upper thigh. Armed with these, she’s become what can only be described as a different person. That’s not to say she’s not the woman I married; just that there are times when she’s less the matronly companion I imagined I’d have in my mid-50s and more the vivacious young wildcat who comes in to care for me three days a week as part of her community service. Despite all this, I’d like to think we’re happy. We send each other cards on Valentine’s Day, I still surprise and delight her with the occasional bunch of the forecourt’s finest and there’s the odd "date night", of course. But male pattern baldness and the probably baseless suspicion that, in her eyes, I’m not the spontaneous, thrusting go-getter I was 30 years ago are only increasing my general anxiety and the belief that if my life is going to have a “third act”, it had better be something of a show-stopper. Towards the end of last year, things came to a head. We found ourselves sitting in our little motorhome – our one extravagance – battling to make ourselves heard above the rain. “What are we doing here?” I asked her. “Waiting for the rain to clear so we can go for a walk,” she said. It’s at times like this I realise she’s my perfect companion, a constant pin to prick my pomposity. Without her I’d be lost in a fog of uncertainty and fear and disappear very quickly up my own fundament. Like a natty handkerchief in a well-worn suit, she completes me. Suitably rebuked, it was time for one of my rare moments of absolute clarity. Six months on and, would you believe it – that’s exactly what we were doing. Well, minus the tattoo and the piercings. We sold most of our possessions, gave the rest to friends, family and charity and rented out the house to a young family at the start of their own adventure. We packed the van with life’s essentials and caught a boat taking us to northern Spain. Where we go next is completely up for debate. We might turn left, right, or take one look at the weather and come straight back, although I seriously doubt it. DON&apos;T MISS THE NEXT INSTALMENT: Did we really need to pack an electric fly-swatter?

Seriously, there will be spoilers. Don't read this if that matters to you. Infinity War wasn't the best movie ever. Don't get me wrong; the action was tremendous. Lots of great punching and special effects and such. The story was compelling. However, Infinity War was also full of shortcomings. I stopped reading Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series when one of the books was entirely devoted to set up for the next book. The entire book was just positioning characters from where they were in the last book to where they needed to be to start the next book. I realized at that point that the series was over. While I won't give up on the Avengers just yet, I was disappointed that Infinity War was half a movie. That's right, Infinity War is just set up for Infinity War II. What's really unsatisfying is that this movie didn't have its own resolution. The climax happens and then the credits roll. Worse yet, Thanos (or just Thanatos? Can we call him by his Greek name, 'cause clearly that's who he is) is an idiot. "My world ran out of resources and perished, so I must apply my solution to the entire universe." Really? That's the solution of a mentally-challenged dictator. We'll set aside the fact that so far in human history every projected end of resources hasn't actually happened because we learned how to apply technology to farm better, drill better, or make something new and Thanos' planet had highly advanced technology suggesting they could probably overcome shortages in a similar fashion. Let's say the only way to resolve this was with the super glove and all six infinity stones. Okay, great. You have all of them. In other movies, we've opened portals to other realities. So, open a portal to a reality with resources but no life, and just take another universe worth of resources. Problem solved. Or use the reality stone such that resources are more abundant. Or harvest empty star systems for their resources. Problem solved. Killing off half of all intelligent life solves nothing because people just reproduce. We're good at it. To get the soul stone, Thanos has to sacrifice something he loves. So, he kills his adopted daughter Gamora. This falls flat, and fails the parent test. As a parent, I can say that I'd defend my child from physical harm at any cost, including my own life. That's how parental love works. There is no circumstance where I'd give my child's life to advance my agenda. If I were willing to do that, I could not claim to truly love that person. So, that's my first impression of Infinity War. At the very least they could have given us a real resolution. If you have to Peter Jackson the film length to give it a real ending, do that. We'll sit through the extra hour, but this was really unsatisfying. Oh, and seriously. Don't draw out Spidey's death to force tears. Everyone dusted pretty quickly, but Spidey needed to die slower to make people cry? I am not a fan of this.

Wipe Away Your Halloween Horrors with WaterWipes this Autumn. Now that autumn is here and the weather has started turning cooler, I’m always on the look out for fun crafts to keep Dex occupied while we are cooped up indoors avoiding the wind and the rain. With Halloween just around the corner, what’s more fun than getting stuck into some Halloween crafts to occupy us during the blustery days? I had a good browse through Pinterest to find some craft activities that were suited to a toddler and went out on a mission to the craft store to buy everything we needed. With UK residents spending a whopping £460 million on Halloween essentials in 2015*, WaterWipes were the perfect addition to my Halloween shopping list as these new baby wipes contain just two ingredients – 99.9% purified water and a drop of fruit extract. And boy, did the WaterWipes come in handy! We started with some paper plate crafts creating a pumpkin, witch, spider, bat and cat. Dexter was much more interested in smushing his hands in the paint and smearing them everywhere including his face. Luckily with the WaterWipes to hand, I was able to clean him up without having to worry about irritating his skin or clogging his pores. We then moved onto creating an autumn themed tree using different coloured tissue paper and finger paints for the grass around the tree. I think we can safely say that I did most of the crafting, but if Dex could talk, I’m sure he’d say he had loads of fun too! What crafts will you be doing with your little ones this autumn? WaterWipes are priced at £2.70 and are available from Boots, Amazon.co.uk, Ocado.co.uk and major supermarkets. *UK spending data reported by Statista. For the witch, we painted the paper playe green and left to dry while we created her hat out of black coloured paper. We also used a strip of orange paper to decorate her hat. Once the face was dry, we fashioned eyes out of white and black coloured paper ad drew on her nose and mouth with a marker. We added a purple wart onto her nose with a pom pom. For her hair we curled up orange pipe cleaners and stuck on with glue. For the pumpkin we painted the paper plate orange and once it was dry we used pom poms for the eyes with googly eyes stuck on. We added a stalk by using a green pipe cleaner and fashioned a mouth out of black coloured paper. We cleaned up mucky hands using WaterWipes. We love Waterwipes, they were actually recommended to us by midwives in hospital! Definitely a good call at Halloween, between the sweets, face paint and crafts, it can be a nightmare getting them clean and regular face wipes leave my sons skin so dry! Ahhh such cute crafts! Love waterwipes. Who knew that they would be sloop useful beyond the baby years too. Great for crafts and facepaint and all sorts! DEFINITELY doing these paper plate Halloween faces. Totally agree that waterwipes are the ones to use, even I use them to take off make up too. @waterwipes look brilliant will deffo be using the wipes for future crafts they look so good!!! Fab blog!!! I love that waterwipes have so many uses. I love all your crafts too. Love the pumpkin. Waterwipes are everything. We do a lot of crafting at home and we always have a packet to hand. Love your Halloween crafts by the way! My youngest had sensitive skin so knowing that wipes are as close to water as thy can get is so important. My daughter who’s 14 always nicks little ones water wipes to take her make up off she says hey are great for it ! Oh I love your autumn crafts tree. Really clever idea to add water wipes to the shopping list too. I wouldn’t have thought to use them but I will now. Perfect for cleaning hands up after arts and crafts. Ahh I love the pumpkin idea!! How simple but it looks great! We love Water Wipes, they are the only wipes we use these days, I even use them to remove my eye make up!

SRINAGAR, Sept 12: At a time when government is providing each facility to the government run schools, some influential persons wants to grab the land of Hussaini Park that is legally under the occupation Imambada Qadeem, and the management of DPS. However, the parents have appealed the governor to intervene into the matter. According to sources, Delina Public School (DPS) was established in 2010-2012 onwards and that is owned by Auqaf Committee Imambada Qadeem Delina. A primary school has almost 125 students on roll from nursery to fifth standard, but these tiny tots, they are lacking of space and to crush their co curricular activities, some influential persons who are affiliated with some political party are trying to grab this piece of land for self interests, said sources. A person who is working in judiciary owns a piece of land where he constructed a shopping complex on highway at Delina had submitted an application before the Ajuman-e Hussaini (Shia Community) Delina requesting for providing land measuring 1 ½ kanal for the purpose of parking and ground facility of engineering students of polytechnic college situated at Ahmad complex Delina, said sources. Sources said that around 45 years ago, a separate Imambada was formed, Markazi Imambada and Imamb ada Qadeem in Delina Baramulla of north Kashmir's Baramulla district to look after the social affairs. Sources alleged that owner of this shopping complex is very influential and have political approach too besides his son is an employee in judiciary and he is well aware about how to file fabricated cases against the opponents. In the past this influential person have misused his official positions and have misinformed the local court about the school management and wants to take control over the private school, and with the result, they want to impose, the centuries old dictatorship rule of, 'HITLER' and have left the students and staff of DPS in trouble, sources told ET. A group of parents said some months back a government employee was nominated as custodian of DPS School and all accounts were handed over to him, adding the move was totally against the norms and unfortunately the influence is ruined the career of students and the staff of the school at large. The Governor S P Malik, Chief Secretary, is requested to intervene into the matter so that the future of students can be saved from the clutches of influential persons, who want to close the school for their vested interests, parents added.

First I am really grateful for your site. Second, it has been crazy weather in Missouri - but today it was sunny AND not raining and I got the smoker to light really well and I did my first real hive inspection - I choked last time. So the comb is a bit crooked in places with some comb from one frame reaching into another frame - I thought I should fix it and wound up slaying larvae...it was fairly awful. There is also comb being built at the bottom of the frames in bubble shapes but I don't think they are queen cells. So the question is should I try to fix the crooked comb? Since I have slayed some larvae I am not eager to try anything new. I will be putting the queen excluder and a super on later today because all but one frame appear to have comb built and active work being performed. Any advise is appreciated. And sorry for the long winded question. Long-winded questions are appreciated! (Photos too!) It beats a tersely worded question that has me guessing as to what is really being asked. Bees build the best comb when there's lots of nectar coming in (or sugar syrup). If conditions are less than optimum while the bees are drawing out a frame, the comb will often not be the best - almost as if their heart isn't really in it. 1) Crooked foundation. If you're using plain wax foundation, the foundation will often warp if it's in the hive for a while before the bees start to work on it. Even crimp-wired foundation will sometimes warp. And if the foundation is crooked when the bees start to draw it out, then the comb will also be crooked. 2) Too much space between frames. If a pair of frames is too far apart when the bees build comb, they will often build bridge comb adjoining the two combs. That's perfectly fine from the bees' perspective, of course, but it's a real headache for the beekeeper! So if you're using a 10-frame super, make sure there are 10 frames in it. And even if there's not a missing frame, it doesn't hurt to check that the frames are pretty much equally spaced when you add a new super of foundation. Some beekeepers like to use 8 or 9 frames in a 10-frame super to get thicker combs. This makes for easier uncapping and extracting. But it's usually best to have 10 combs drawn initially, and then remove 1 or 2 combs later. The bees will then thicken the remaining combs. It's also not unusual for the bees to build little bits of comb from the top or bottom of a frame. These bits of comb are called burr comb, and are normal. (I think your 'bubble shaped' bits of comb are probably just burr comb.) Just scrape them off during hive inspection and save them for melting down later. Unfortunately, I don't really know of any way to fix crooked comb. If you want to get rid of crooked combs, you'll probably just have to replace them. One easy way to do that is to put the comb above a queen excluder after making certain the queen isn't on it (I'd shake all the bees off to be sure). That way you can just leave the comb until all of the brood hatches out, without having to worry about the queen laying more eggs in it. Another approach is to move a comb slated for removal to the outermost position. Queens are less eager to lay in the outermost combs, so there's a chance that you could allow the brood to hatch out without the queen laying more eggs in the comb. That's certainly not a sure thing, though. If the comb isn't really bad, you could also just wait and replace it later during the fall or winter when it contains no brood. Again, moving it to the outside position will assure that there will be no brood in it during winter. When you get the comb out of the hive, if it's Plasticell foundation or similar (plastic foundation with the embossed cell pattern), you can reuse the foundation. Just scrape off the old comb and brush a coating of melted beeswax onto the plastic. If it's wax foundation, you'll just have to cut the comb out of the frame and add new foundation. Overall, it sounds like you're off to a really great start with your bees. And congratulations for getting that first hive inspection under your belt. As you do more, they'll become less stressful and more fun (most of the time)!

The effects of alcohol may linger in the body longer than previously thought. The effects of a big night out could last longer than you think, a new study suggests. These new results suggest we could still be impaired in terms of the cognitive processes required, even after alcohol has left the bloodstream. For certain jobs, they suggest, employees should be aware of the real effects that hangovers can have, and employers might do well to consider revising guidelines on safety grounds. The hangover is the most commonly reported negative consequence of alcohol use and is estimated to cost billions a year due to absenteeism. Despite this, up until this point little has been done to examine the effects of being hungover "on the job". "In our review of 19 studies we found that hangover impaired psychomotor speed, short and long-term memory and sustained attention," lead author Craig Gunn said. "Impaired performance in these abilities reflects poorer concentration and focus, decreased memory and reduced reaction times the day after an evening of heavy drinking. "Our review also indicated limited and inconsistent research on alcohol hangover and the need for future studies in the field." Dr Sally Adams, senior author, added: "Our findings demonstrate that hangover can have serious consequences for the performance of everyday activities such as driving and workplace skills such as concentration and memory." The study, A Systematic Review Of The Effects Of Alcohol Hangover On Cognitive Performance, is published in the journal Addiction.

36″While Jesus’ disciples were talking about what had happened, Jesus appeared and greeted them. 37 They were frightened and terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost. Sometimes in a story [a real one mind you] you get this vivid sense of seeing what really happened. Luke’s account ignites that in me. With the flair of the dramatic– Jesus, freshly resurrected, bursts into the room and who scares everyone. I guess it was one of those times where you just had to be there in order to really get it. We see Jesus [I think he was lovingly amused] point out that he was still a human being–look at me! Think for a second, have you ever tried to get a pet dog, who is so scared he’s peeing on the floor, to come to you? I see the disciples kind of half crawling, stooped and very unsure about this. They slowly encircle Jesus and as they come, he is laughing. He has returned. Laughing from the pure joy of one who has endured hell and has come out on the other side, intact. I believe Jesus is reveling in the moment, and he is among friends whom he loves and vice versa. Jesus is alive, he has done the impossible, and they are laughing and crying at the same time! We have walls. You and I. They give us security and protection. We feel we have to have them. The disciples feel like there is security in numbers and safety in their walls. I can so relate. But Jesus penetrates our walls. And we come ‘face-to-face’ with him. Look closely now, it is resurrection power–the most awesome force in the universe, more intense than the sun. It’s funny, when Moses prostrated himself before the Lord’s glory, he changed. Not only that, but he had to take precautions to cover his face when he returned to camp. As broken believers we must be prepared for any eventuality. Jesus can and will burst into our homes, and into our very lives. Can you hear him laugh? When he comes, nothing really is the same again. He loves his disciples too much to leave them in the dark in a stuffy room. He comes for you! Next When Does Depression Become Sin?

Sciatica may begin as an aggravating lower backache, but it can rapidly become the kind of debilitating and unrelenting pain that radiates down one of your legs, sometimes reaching as far as your toes. At The Spine Institute of Southeast Texas in Pearland, Bellaire, and Lake Jackson, Texas, Dr. Thomas Jones II offers comprehensive treatment solutions for patients affected by chronic sciatic nerve pain. To learn more, call or schedule an appointment online today. As the largest and longest nerve in your body, your sciatic nerve essentially connects your spinal cord to the muscles of your lower legs and feet. It’s rooted in your lumbar spine, or the vertebrae of your lower back, and extends through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg, where it helps you feel and control your lower body. Sciatic nerve pain, or sciatica, occurs when something compresses or crowds your sciatic nerve where it’s rooted to your spine. While it often begins as an irritating ache or bothersome pain in your lower back, the pain may radiate down one of your legs if the underlying cause of the problem becomes aggravated or worsens. A bulging or ruptured spinal disc can put ongoing pressure on your sciatic nerve. Lower back vertebrae that are even slightly compressed or out of alignment can impinge upon the sciatic nerve root. Your piriformis muscle is situated directly over your sciatic nerve. When it becomes too tight or spasms, it can put direct pressure on the nerve. Any injury along the path of your sciatic nerve, including a pelvic fracture, may cause sciatic nerve pain. A narrowing of the spinal canal, which is generally an age-related condition, can push on your sciatic nerve. The tell-tale sign of sciatica is persistent pain that extends from your lower back down into your buttock; it may also extend through the back of your thigh, down into your calf, and possibly as far as your toes. Sciatica may feel like a mild burning sensation or a sharp jolt. It typically worsens after long stretches of sitting or standing and may be triggered or intensified by minor movements like reaching or sneezing. The overriding goal of any sciatica treatment plan is to correct the underlying problem when possible, reduce or eliminate pain, and restore full functionality. Whether you suspect you have sciatica or you’ve been living with it for far too long, Dr. Jones can help. Call the office nearest you or schedule an appointment online today.

This month we celebrated Harrison’s first birthday. I can’t believe how much life has changed the past year. I am absolutely besotted. But I think you all know that by now… For our social media manager, Vivian, she is just about to start that journey – her bub born a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. A massive congratulations to their family! On the work front, March also marked the launch of a massive video campaign we have been working on the past 5 months. You may have seen a bit about it on the national and local news outlets? A little thing for Temora’s doctor attraction campaign we’ve been managing, the Great Quack Quest? If you haven’t heard about it, do yourself a favour and check out the video! You can read more about that here. Trust me, it’s a quacker! I’ve also been posting a bit lately about some common mistakes I see with businesses… The lack of preparedness and not having some pretty basic marketing foundations put down before they embark on specific activities. If a marketing activity, whether it’s a video, social media ad or new product launch, hasn’t worked for you, you need to analyse and ask, ‘did we do the ground work? Did we prepare enough? Did it fit in with our marketing strategy? Do we even have a marketing strategy?’ Unless you have all your ducks in a row, it won’t get you the results you deserve. Read more about how we approached this with the Great Quack Quest below. So, as we say goodbye to summer, and welcome the colours of autumn, maybe now is a good time to be asking yourself the tough questions about what you’re going to be doing differently this year?

First on this tape, an episode of Thunderbirds called The Cham-Cham. I had this on a previous tape, but there it had missed out the start of the episode. There’s a top secret mission to deliver some top secret cargo to somewhere top secret. They have to maintain radio silence, but they’re also listening to the radio – the same station that the International Rescue team are listening to. Is there only one radio station in the world in this time? Even John and Alan, on Thunderbird 5 are listening to it. The top secret plane is attacked by an unknown enemy. Jeff Tracy thinks that the music they were listening to at the time the plane was attacked had something to do with it, so the Cass Carnaby Five, who were performing live each time the planes were attacked, must be involved. Lady Penelope goes undercover as the cabaret singer Wanda Lamour. The band’s musical director is receiving orders from a foreign power. There’s some nice Thunderbird 2 mountain action as they try to rescue Tin Tin and Penelope in a runaway cable car. Parker gets to do a Mary Poppins impression. After this, there’s a trailer for Goggle Eyes. Then, Genesis II, a Gene Roddenberry production. He tried this idea twice, with Planet Earth as well. Scientist Dylan Hunt (Ted Kord) is frozen with an experimental suspended animation procedure, but almost as soon as he is, the lab he’s in is buried in an Earthquake. When he’s revived, a round 150 years in the future, he’s in the hands of Pax, the world ‘government’. But his nurse, Lyra-a tells him she’s a mutant. This manifests as having two belly buttons and (she says) two hearts. She tells him Pax is warlike, dominating the world. Majel Roddenberry makes an appearance, as you might expect. They escape from Pax, and go to her city, but it all looks a bit slavey there. Perhaps Pax aren’t the evil warlords she’s been saying. On the right there is Ted Cassidy, famous to Star Trek fans as the android Rok in What Are Little Girls Made Of. In the end, it’s Pax that are the peaceful ones, not the mutants, so Hunt blows up a nuclear warhead, and, as long as he renounces killing, he joins Pax. But he remains a bit of a creep – it must be the moustache. There’s a trailer for Count Dracula. Then, Around Westminster with Laurie Mayer. There’s a report on the death of the Poll Tax. After this, there’s a trailer for Every Picture Tells a Story, and for Painted Passions.

The Brainstorming (brainstorm) method is a semi-structured creative group activity, used most often in ad-hoc business meetings to come up with new ideas for innovation or improvement. Members of the group are encouraged to put forward ideas about a problem and how it may be solved, in order to generate as many ideas as possible, even if they are not always usable alternatives. The idea behind brainstorming is, that a group of people can achieve a higher (synergy) level of creativity than the sum of the participants separately. Participants should be encouraged to come up with as much ideas as possible, however strange they are (there are no bad ideas). No judgment should be given about any idea, until the end of the session. Whether negative or positive. Participants should be encouraged to build on each others ideas, creating unlikely combinations and taking each one in unexpected directions. Use an experienced facilitator. External? Appoint one person to write down all ideas that come out of the brainstorm session. Use a flip chart for making the notes. This enables later study and evaluation at the end of the session. Identify a precise topic to be discussed (keep the session focused on the problem). No more than 8-10 people in one session. If there are more participants, then split up the brainstorm session and report to each other afterwards. One person writes everything down. Evaluate the ideas in 2 steps: A: define the criteria. B: score the results on the criteria. At the end of the brainstorming session you should discuss the steps needed to implement the ideas. If this is complicated, do another brainstorming session on how to implement the ideas. Clearly define the problem you want solved, and lay out any criteria to be met. Encourage an enthusiastic, uncritical attitude among members of the group. Try to get everyone to contribute and develop ideas, including the quietest members of the group. Let people have fun with the brainstorming meeting. Encourage people to come up with as many ideas as possible. Both the solidly practical ones and the wildly impractical ones are welcome. Ensure that no train of thought is followed for too long.

The Tsogo Sun Amashova Durban Classic road cycle race, which takes place between Pietermaritzburg to Durban, was on Thursday named the new South African qualifying event for the 2015 UCI World Cycling Tour (UWCT). It takes place on 12 October and replaces the Msunduzi Road Challenge as the only African qualifier for the UCI Amateur Road World Championships. The UWCT is known as the amateur World Championships qualifying series, and consists of 15 qualifying events all over the world. From those events, the top 25 percent of finishers in each of the Masters’ age groups qualify to participate in the Amateur Road World Championships, where the champions receive the coveted rainbow-striped jersey. In 2012, Pietermaritzburg and its surrounds hosted the UWCT Final, when the Msunzduzi Challenge served as the race to determine world champions. A number of South Africans claimed the prestigious rainbow-striped jerseys. Lynette Burger, who retired from professional cycling in 2011, won gold in the individual time trial and the road race in the 30 to 34 age category. Further road race gold medals were won by Pauline Cound (women 50 – 54), Anette Loubscher (women 40-44), and Gary Beneke (men 50 – 54). The 106km Tsogo Sun Amashova Durban Classic, which begins at the City Hall in Pietermaritzburg and finishes at the Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World on Durban’s Golden Mile, is KwaZulu-Natal’s premier cycling race and has been in existence since 1986. Last year, a total of 11 000 cyclists took part in the event. For those cyclists looking for something a little shorter, a 65km half challenge, from Cato Ridge to Durban, is available, while there is an even shorter 35km route from Hillcrest to Durban. “With the decision to add exciting new events to our line up, cyclists and spectators can expect to see a variety of riders crossing the finish, which always creates an adrenaline rush for all,” race organiser Annie Batchelder said in a statement on Thursday.

apexart’s International Open Call is soliciting exhibition proposals from February 1st -March 1st, 2019. The four proposals with the highest scores will be presented by the organizers in the countries specified as part of apexart’s 2019 – 2020 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of experience level or location, are invited to submit a proposal online for any international (or domestic) location outside of New York City and its metropolitan area. The submission process: Proposals should describe compact, focused, idea-driven, and original group exhibitions. No biographical information, CVs, links, or images will be accepted. Submissions cannot exceed 500 words and should be submitted in English. The selection process: Rather than convene a small panel to review hundreds of ideas, apexart’s crowdsourced voting system utilizes many jurors to individually review a small subset of proposals. An international jury composed of 300+ individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds rate the proposals based on interest, content, and the organizers’ ability to communicate their ideas. To make the system as fair as possible, proposals are anonymous and randomized for each juror, which ensures that each submission receives the same consideration. apexart does not influence the decisions of the jury in any way. The results: The organizers/curators of the four highest-ranked proposals will each receive an exhibition budget of up to USD 11,000 and will work closely with the apexart team to turn their ideas into apexart exhibitions. Exhibition organizers are expected and challenged to work within the funding provided to transform their winning proposals into strong, focused, noteworthy, and relevant exhibitions. Budget: apexart has increased the budget substantially to $10,000 for each Open Call exhibition and related programming. Each organizer must work within apexart’s budget to cover expenses including curator travel, artwork shipping, artist and public program participant honorariums, equipment, installation, and venue fees with $8,000 of the budget. Of the $10,000, the organizer receives up to a $2,000 honorarium for coordinating the project and writing the exhibition brochure essay. For exhibitions outside NYC, apexart will match up to $1,000 for a location rental if necessary. About: apexart is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit contemporary visual arts organization located in Lower Manhattan, New York City, NY.

Only nine were built, but this is the only example in the world fitted with a six-speed manual transmission. Ferrari has produced some with some striking designs. Most recently, the automaker unveiled the commissioned for an extremely wealthy client. But back in 2007, Ferrari . Only nine examples were sold worldwide, eight of which used the company’s semi-automatic paddle shift transmission. However, one of them featured a six-speed manual transmission – and now this specific example is looking for a new owner. The GTZ Nibbio Zagato is based on the 599, but it has very little in common with the standard 599 GTB, or any other Ferrari for that matter. The front features an overhauled grille, new air intakes, and restyled headlights, but there are even more significant changes at the back. Zagato altered the shape of the roof and fitted a custom rear window that seamlessly stretches back along the rear decklid. The new roof and rear window are also painted white in contrast to the rest of the supercar, which is finished in dark blue. It’s certainly an acquired taste. Being based on the 599 GTB, the 599 GTZ Nibbio Edition is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 612 hp and 448 lb-ft of torque. As for how much it will set you back, it should come as no surprise this extremely rare prancing horse has a seven-figure price tag – Dubai-based dealer is asking for $1.495 million to drive this one-off beauty away, even though the car has clocked up 26,772 kilometers (16,635 miles).

Suspected Russian cyberattacks on the French presidential campaign are "unacceptable", France's foreign minister said Sunday, adding it was clear that pro-Europe candidate Emmanuel Macron was being targeted. A spokesman for Macron, who is currently riding high in the polls, has accused Moscow of being behind a flurry of cyberattacks on his campaign website and email servers over the past month. "It's enough to see which candidates, Marine Le Pen or Francois Fillon, Russia expresses preference for in the French electoral campaign," Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said in an interview with Journal du Dimanche. "Whereas Emmanuel Macron, who is pro-Europe, is being targeted by cyberattacks," he added. "This form of interference in French democratic life is unacceptable and I denounce it." Le Pen, of the far-right National Front, is anti-immigration and anti-European Union, while Fillon is the conservative Republicans candidate who is pushing for closer ties with Moscow. "Russia is the first to say that non-interference in domestic affairs is a cardinal rule and I understand that. Well, France won't accept its choices being dictated to it either," he added. France warned Russia Wednesday against meddling in the elections, after a spokesman for Macron -- the 39-year-old centrist former economy minister -- pointed the finger of blame at Moscow. The allegations come in the midst of a furore over Russia's alleged interference in the U.S. electoral campaign that has forced out one of President Donald Trump's top aides. U.S. intelligence agencies had already accused Russian intelligence of hacking Democratic Party emails that embarrassed Trump's rival Hillary Clinton. Earlier this week, Ayrault told French parliament: "After what happened in the United States, it is our responsibility to take all steps necessary to ensure that the integrity of our democratic process is fully respected." German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country will hold a general election in September, has also voiced fears that Moscow could try to influence the vote through cyberattacks or disinformation. A special meeting of the French Defense Council is planned next week to strengthen measures to protect against this kind of threat.

Beijing: Chinese authorities have suspended the website of the country's largest stock images provider after it was found to have put its copyright mark on the first ever photo taken of a black hole, state-owned China Daily newspaper reported on Friday. However, ESO - which holds the rights over the image - has denied having received any message from VCG, and said it was illegal for the Chinese firm to ask money for the use of the photo. Moreover, the Communist Youth League Central Committee, on its official handle on Weibo - Chinese equivalent of Twitter - criticized VCG for making users pay for photographs of the national emblem on its website.

Today, I am going to do a post I’ve never done before. I am going to share with you my natural hair journey, doing a flexi rod set. I am on a natural hair journey to healthier and stronger hair. My goal is to really enjoy my natural roots. So I am trying to go with excessive heat, braids, sew-ins or anything else that is damaging to the hair. Flexi rod sets and perm rod sets are my favorite natural styles. They look good when its new and fresh, but also when its days old. Here’s is how my hair currently, a week old flexi rod set. It still looks good but I did this style with “dirty” hair, so I am ready to wash it now. Fourth, use hair mask- let sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse. If you’d like more details on my wash routine, let me know in the comments are I will do a blog post on the shampoos I use and how I wash my hair. After my hair is all clean, I detangle with my fingers- using the Curls Lavish Curls Moisturizer- Leave in conditioner. Then I section my hair in 4 parts with my hair clips. For this style I am using 4 different sizes of flexi rods. I purchased these at my local hair store for about $6.99 to $9.99 per pack of 6 to 10 rods. I buy new rods all the time, it’s almost like I collect them.. You can never have too many flexi rods. I start by spraying each section with the TRESemme Thermal Creations- Heat Protection. Also, using the Curls Lavish Curls Moisturizer- Leave in conditioner to finger comb through each section. I choose one section to start. I prefer to start in the back and work my way to the crown of the head, and then the front. For each section, I put Lottabody Setting Lotion and Shea Moisture coconut and hibiscus hold and shine Moisture mist on the whole section of hair. Use the hair clips and a big tooth comb to comb through each section and create smaller sections for each flexi rod. Use the JAM- Extra Hold on your roots for sleek results from roots to ends and Curls Goddess Curls botanical gelle on end to keep them smooth during drying. To rod the hair, take one straight flexi rod and the end of your hair, roll the hair in a upward motion to wrap around the flexi rod. Remember to go section by section, starting in the back working your way to the front. The front of your head can be done multiple ways. You can do a side part with your curls, a middle part with curls, or have all the curls in your face or have them all pushed backwards. It’s up to you. For this specific style, I am going a side part with curls away from my face. For drying, I suggest one of two things- using a hooded hair dryer or letting your hair air dry. Here are some tips for drying. If you use a hooded dryer- make sure you sure a heat protector when roding the hair, sit under the dryer for 45 mins to 90 mins to get hair completely dry. Once hair is dry, wait 30 mins to allow curls to cool before taking out your rods. If you let it air dry- make sure hair is completely dry from root to ends before taking rods out. When unwinding rods, work slow and carefully. I like to take all the rods out of my hair before I start pulling the curls apart for a full curly girl look. When pulling curls apart be gentle and use some type of oil on your hairs to help hydrate the curls. Give this post a “like” if you enjoyed this post and it was helpful. If you decide to try this style, share what products you used and pictures in the comment section PLLLZZZZZZ. And let me know if you want to see more natural hair blogs. I think I might even do a day by day picture blog of how I style my flexi rod set once it gets older. Love it. Be it. Do it. Cute! Good luck on your healthy hair journey! Good luck on your healthy hair journey! Im inspired to do flexi rod set. Looks good.

This semester I have been afforded the opportunity to intern at the Center for Global Studies, alongside my fellow interns Nay and Stacy. I took this opportunity to better learn the inner workings of an academic organization. Seeing how they organize, conduct outreach and work to provide academic funding for faculty and students alike. I also love to work with kids, and we’ll have a chance to do that with World Stories Alive! a language initiative on our part to expose local kids to foreign cultures and languages. In my first month of working at the Center for Global Studies we learned the ropes, coordinating our schedules, setting up office hours and setting up general responsibilities for the coming semester. I was responsible for attending a lecture on state building, and the recent experience of a State department official in Iraq. I learned a lot about the state department in Iraq and our efforts to rebuild the country following the end of the war. I hope this experience pushes me to learn things I would not have otherwise learned, and gives me worthwhile skills that I will be continue to use in future careers. I also hope to have conversations with people I would have otherwise not had the opportunity to talk to. At the most fundamental level, I hope to be exposed to foreign cultures, and learn about them in a fashion I otherwise would not have. This entry was posted in Reflections on February 6, 2018 by zzf5057. I am grateful to have been given this opportunity. The first month at the Center for Global Studies (CGS) has been pleasant. When it comes to work, there are two things that are most important: the work itself and the colleagues. Fortunately, at the CGS, work is interesting and so are the people. A lot of planning went in for the upcoming events for the semester – a semester lasts four months- that are quickly approaching. The interns had a taste of the pace of the work and the communication that is essential for the success of the center’s work. I had a chance to go to my first 2018 Spring Series event where I was introduced to an immigrant, writer, novelist Lisa Ko and her book The Leavers. The book explores the life of a Chinese illegal immigrant in the US and her separation with her son as she was captured by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He son was adopted by a wealthy Canadian couple and the book explores his search for his long-lost mother as well. Besides the cool event, I have been given a chance to help organize our very own World Stories Alive (WSA) where we invite speakers of foreign languages to teach languages to kids as young as two to primary school students through songs and stories. We cordially invite you to our event. So far, the work has not been hectic, but soon it should. I expect to be able to continue doing the things that I have been, but at a higher intensity in the coming months. I also expect to work on a curriculum development which I am excited about. I gave my shot at this internship because I was excited and interested and so far, the center hasn’t disappoint. It will be a good way for me to end my undergraduate career, working alongside my new friends at CGS. This entry was posted in Reflections on February 1, 2018 by Nay Min. My first month experience at The Center for Global Studies was already very impactful for me personally and professionally. The environment at the office is really collaborative and has a lot of open space to ask questions and to be hard-working, which I really appreciate and respect. Being a freshman, it is a really cool thing for me to experience being in a professional setting with individuals who are very different from me because I can learn from their experiences and their expertise. I had already attended a couple of events through CGS such as the SIA lecture given by James Piazzia on Terorism, an event with Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers, and an event co-sponsored with the CGS and the Career Enrichment Network on a workshop for Jobs and Internships in the Government during Liberal Arts Career Week. All of these events were very diverse and really informative for me on things that I can use academically, professionally, and personally. I really enjoyed the Terrorism lecture because it gave me some insight into the professor who I might end up taking a class with next year. I enjoyed the event with Lisa Ko because it was in a different setting to talk about global issues in terms of having those hard discussions on immigration through fiction and personal stories. The workshop on Jobs and Internships in the Government is one that I am going to write about in the newsletter because they gave out so much professional information on how to apply for a job/internship on a database as difficult as USAJOBS, or how the timelines of applications and when to be thinking about certain opportunities and how to prepare for them while making the most of your time at Penn State. All of these different events already have me thinking in various different directions on how we can have global conversations on campus through different mediums. As for my expectations for my time at the Center, I really don’t have many. I came to this experience with an open mind, so I don’t want expectations to affect my outlook or opinion on the work that I am going to be doing. Sarah really took to heart the goals that I shared with her during my interview and already gave me a small grant writing project that I am working on currently, which I really appreciate! I don’t want to have expectations because I want to develop myself through various different tasks that I hope to be doing, so I don’t want anything to deter me from that development. Overall, I am really happy with my time at CGS already, and I am really excited for all of the upcoming projects! This entry was posted in Reflections on February 1, 2018 by Stacy Brehman.

Sooner or later, your growing company is going to need more cash than it currently has on hand. Maybe business is just slow due to economic, industry, or seasonal factors beyond your control. Maybe you’re caught on the wrong end of a slow-paying client/supplier relationship. Maybe you were forced to absorb unanticipated expenses due to personnel, equipment, or supplier issues. Or maybe your quarterly payroll taxes snuck up on you. Running into a cash flow management crunch doesn’t always mean you’ve done something wrong, but it does mean you have to decide how to get the funds you need – and fast. Two options available to many business owners are a bank line of credit and invoice (or receivables) factoring. Before you take the plunge into either alternative, make sure you’re aware of what they both can mean to your company. A bank line of credit is a source of funding extended to a company to help meet its liquidity needs, and is generally intended as a short-term arrangement. After approval, it can be tapped at the company’s discretion. Interest is paid only on the funds actually borrowed, although some banks charge fees to establish the credit line and may also require you to pay an annualized fee on money not withdrawn. A line of credit can help solidify your relationship with your bank, and prompt payments will enhance your company’s credit standing. The credit line’s convenient, “as needed” status gives your company almost immediate access to funds at any time. You might also eventually be approved for additional funds if you keep your account in good standing. Lines of credit are usually unsecured, meaning that company or personal property does not generally need to be collateralized to secure funding. Lines of credit can be tough to obtain, depending on general economic conditions and the commercial lending climate. You’ll have to provide the potential lender with a lot of business, and perhaps personal, financial information. Bank lines of credit aren’t necessarily forever. Changes regarding the amount available on your credit line, your interest rate, associated fees, and other matters pertaining to your credit line can be imposed by the bank, and you may not like them. Even when interest rates are low, bank lines of credit, over time, can turn very expensive. Much like a consumer credit card, interest charged on outstanding balances can accumulate to substantial amounts of money. By definition, a bank line of credit adds debt to your company’s balance sheet. Debt service that hangs around too long impairs your company’s flexibility and ability to grow, and can hurt your ability to service other obligations that would be more beneficial to your company. Invoice factoring lets you sell your company’s receivables to a third-party, like MP Star Financial for fast payment – often the same business day – in exchange for modest transaction fees. Invoice factoring can dramatically improve your company’s cash flow. Rather than waiting up to 60 – or even 90 – days for payment, factoring can give you access to your funds almost immediately. An invoice factoring arrangement is easy to set up. After some initial paperwork, a factoring relationship can usually be established in just a few business days. Invoice factoring means no additional debt for your company. Factoring finance lets you take advantage of business opportunities on a timely basis. Because you’re not waiting to be paid, you can fund equipment upgrades, purchase materials and supplies, and hire new staff whenever needed. The rate your company is charged can be influenced both by your company’s credit rating, as well as that of the companies whose invoices are submitted for factoring. You need to use good judgment regarding which invoices are factored. Your fees will increase, at least slightly, the longer an invoice remains outstanding. For this reason, be careful about which invoices you submit to factor. Find more factoring tips here. For more specifics about invoice factoring, visit MP Star Financial and read our post on How Invoice Factoring Works. Let MP Star Financial’s invoice factoring services handle your cash flow management concerns. Don’t wait 30 to 45 days for payment. MP Star Financial can get funds to your account faster.

Beach engineer Chris Gibson expected some of the newly arrived sand to be pushed back out to sea during the spring northeaster season, but said it’s all a part of the symbiotic relationship between beach nourishment work and “Mother Nature." SURF CITY, North Carolina — Last week a northeaster hit Topsail Island during a full moon, washing away some of the dunes that were built in recent weeks as part of Surf City’s ongoing $5-million sand-haul project and a separate $300,000 beach push. Beach engineer Chris Gibson, who has led much of the island’s beach renourishment work since Hurricane Florence, said high spring tides were exacerbated by winds coming from the northeast to cause the erosion. The recent beach push operation involved bulldozers plowing sand from low tide areas to high tide areas of the beach to build temporary dunes, which Gibson said lowered the elevation of the beach. He said the full eastern moon on March 20 added about a foot-and-a-half elevation to the tide, but such an event was extreme. Although he expects minor erosion of the dunes to continue through spring, he is eyeing the southern winds of summer to push back some of that lost sand back towards the beach. Mayor Doug Medlin, a lifelong resident of Surf City, elaborated. Medlin said that although the extreme high tide delayed the sand-haul operation, he still expects the work to be finished by May 1 –– the start of the turtle nesting season. The beach push, he said, has been completed.

Lorry drivers bring M4 and M5 to a standstill in protest at Brexit being pushed back - We Resist. BRITS were hit by motorway chaos after lorry drivers brought roads to a standstill in protest at the Brexit date being pushed back. There was traffic mayhem in Devon, Cornwall, Lancashire, Stoke-on-Trent, Hull and north Wales yesterday evening following a series of planned “go slows”. After this weekend’s protests he said a larger “national event” is planned in London on March 29, should their demands not be met. EU leaders have said Britain could postpone Brexit until May 22 if the Commons backs Theresa May’s EU plan. Challenged by The Sun she admitted she the Government “would need to work with the House to decide how to proceed” if her deal falls.

I should perhaps be clear that my previous review was not meant as an April Fools joke. Depending on your turn of mind, Christopher O’Riley’s first album of classical piano transcriptions of Radiohead songs, True Love Waits, was either brilliant or soporific. The album, featuring faithful two-hand renditions of a set of Radiohead classics, was quite a feat from a transcription standpoint, creating playable works that evoked the harmonic and rhythmic complexities of the originals. I was among the camp that found it soporific, unfortunately. After all, instrumental covers of Radiohead are nothing new—jazz piano virtuoso Brad Mehldau has been including brilliant, imaginative improvisations on “Exit Music (For a Film)” and “Everything In Its Right Place” in his sets and on recordings for years. And after a while, “True Love Waits” seems like one sameness after another. So I approached O’Riley’s follow-up, Hold Me To This, with some trepidation. The formula here is the same, but the songs are different—and that improves the product. Unlike the first recording, where all but one of the 15 tracks appeared on one of Radiohead’s albums, over a third of Hold Me To This is devoted to tracks culled from B-sides. The relative obscurity of the material seems somehow to make for better music; instead of slavish transcriptions, O’Riley adapts the material more freely, with occasionally stunning results. He also wisely eschews the studio versions of some songs in favor of transcriptions of the concert arrangements, such as “Like Spinning Plates.” The back-masking and tape loops that blurred the edges of the original song give way to an arpeggiated introduction reminiscent of the Moonlight Sonata, against which the vocal melody is set off in block chords. If there is a criticism of the arrangements themselves, it is of their busyness. O’Riley compensates for the two-handed nature of the piano by filling in missing voices with open-voiced runs and arpeggios. Too often this approach yields a harmonically accurate overload of undifferentiated hemidemisemiquavers. When O’Riley allows some space between the notes, as in “Talk Show Host,” “Sail to the Moon,” or the aforementioned “Like Spinning Plates,” the result is like drawing a deep breath. While the charge of “busyness” could just as easily be levied at Radiohead’s original arrangements, O’Riley has some options for simplification that he too rarely uses. Ultimately, “Hold Me To This” succeeds better than it deserves to as a standalone album. O’Riley’s formidable technique and intricate arrangements never quite recede far enough into the background to let the listener get totally immersed in the music, but there are pleasures to be had in appreciating formidable technique and intricate arrangements, too. Oh, and that “soporific” thing I mentioned at the beginning? It helps to turn the volume way up.

Actor Richard Gere unloaded his vintage guitar and amplifier collection at Christie’s New York auction house Tuesday to the tune of nearly $1 million. Gere, an active philanthropist for Tibet and HIV-AIDS education, revealed he sold the collection, comprised of 110 guitars and amps made by manufactures such as CF Martin, Gibson, Fender and Gretsch, as a part of his ongoing effort to support global humanitarian causes. Key pieces in the 62-year-old Pretty Woman star’s set included a 1960 Gibson Les Paul that fetched $98,500, a 1931 Martin D-28 that hauled in $62,500, and a 1958 Gibson Flying V, which sold for $74,500. In addition to the vintage instruments already mentioned, Gear, who studied trumpet and taught himself how to play piano and guitar, also parted with guitars formally owned by famous musicians such as Albert King, Peter Tosh and James D’Aquisto. For more details on Richard Gere’s vintage guitar collection, check out the following clip.

Bathing a newborn baby іѕ simpler аnԁ safer now wіth PRIMO’s Infant Bath Seat. Designed fοr аn infant frοm birth tο 6 months ancient, thе nеw PRIMO Infant Bath Seat cradles thе infant bу аt thе bottom οf thе legs аnԁ arms whіƖе bathing. Mother саn safely bathe hеr infant wіth thе PRIMO Infant Bath Seat, helping tο prevent thе baby frοm slipping under thе water. Suction cups hold thе PRIMO Infant Bath Seat securely іn house іn very nearly аnу bath οr sink without a non slip surface. It’s perfect fοr home οr fοr roving. Thе PRIMO Infant Bath Seat іѕ designed tο hold аn infant up tο 18 pounds аnԁ 28 “es long. It іѕ mаԁе frοm non toxic plastic resin thаt іѕ lightweight аnԁ simple tο сƖеаn. This entry was posted in Bathing Tub and tagged Bath, Infant, PRIMO, Seat, White. Bookmark the permalink. So, finally after baby number two arrived I found this lifesaver. I had tried numerous baby baths the first go around–the ones with fabric slings, the ones with battery operated showers and the ones with special contours, etc. I was always grossed out by the fabric slings not outward to be clean. The shower ones were pieces of garbage. So, the end result was to use an inexpensive plastic tub with a flat bottom and insert the Primo infant bath seat. I would place a hand towel down on the seat to make it softer for my baby. The seat supported her fantastic and the towel got thrown in the laundry after each bath. Easily cleanable. Wish I had found this for the first baby too! After she was able to sit up, I took out the Primo seat and used the inexpesive baby bath until she was ancient enough to go in the huge bathtub. Worked Fabulously! This is a fantastic tub for the kitchen sink. I have twins and I need to get baths done quick – this does the trick with out wrecking my back. It keeps even the smallest infant upright and safe. Get it! This thing is nearly perfect. I can bathe my son myself, and I don’t feel that it’s the least bit uncomfortable for him, not even his boy bits (and my husband agrees). It cleans easily, and I feel honestly confident that it won’t be growing mold (though I will be keeping an eye on the space between the seat and the suction cups). It’s what you need to help hold your baby during baths without extras that can cause problems. As for being able to use this in a sink, there’s a photo of it in an asymmetrical tear kitchen sink, which is what I have. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite fit in *my* kitchen sink. For the suction cups to be able to reach the bottom of the sink, you need about 16.5 inches of flat area at the bottom of the sink. My sink is nearly 17.5 inches across, but the rounded corners of the sink make it so that I can’t use the suction cups, and the seat will float when the sink’s filled with water. This doesn’t stop me from using it in the sink at the moment, but I will probably be moving to the tub as my son gets larger (earlier than I would if the seat had truly fit).

Description This giclee print from an original oil, 'California Beach: Half Moon Bay' by Warren Keating, depicts a late afternoon of the crashing waves in the Pacific Ocean at Half Moon Bay in Northern California, close to San Francisco. With my signature application of thick paint with aggressive brushstrokes, it epitomizes my style of landscape painting and my pursuit of unusual lighting. The original has been reproduced in this print in such a way to emphasize the thick brush strokes. This high-quality giclee print has such excellent color fidelity that it matches the beauty and vibrance of the original painting.
