Taking Manhattan: Freshfields continues New York expansion with Kirkland & Ellis hire
Posted on 30 January 2015 14:13pm 8 August 2018 11:29am | Kathryn McCann
Strategic recruitment Freshfields Bruckhaus DeringerKirkland & Ellis US
Magic Circle firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has bolstered its US offering again, this time enhancing its employment capability with the hire of Kirkland & Ellis partner Howard Klein in New York.
Klein will join the firm’s employment, pensions and benefits (EPB) practice group in the US with a view to serving both US based and international clients. He had been a partner at Kirkland & Ellis since 2008, having previously been at Proskauer Rose which he joined in 2006 from Dewey Ballantine.
Commenting on his appointment, Caroline Stroud, Freshfields’ global practice group leader for EPB, said: ‘Executive compensation and employee benefits are important factors in most complex transactions in the US and globally. Howard’s extensive expertise in both advisory and transactional benefits work will be a key element to further strengthen our world-class transactional capability.’
Adam Siegel, US regional managing partner added: ‘Thanks to Howard, we are now well-positioned to cover regular reporting, governance, compensation and other related boardroom matters as an integral part of our compelling cross-border transactional practice.’
Related In-house: US government agency adds to its senior lawyer ranks with AOL and Google hires
Klein’s move is further evidence of the firm’s push to make ground in the city and build a strong US presence. In September the firm hired a trio of partners – senior partner Valerie Ford Jacob, and corporate partners Michael Lewitt and Paul Tropp – from Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson’s New York office.
In the same month Shearman & Sterling’s Peter Lyons joined the firm as co-head of global public M&A while former Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz partner Mitchell Presser was brought in as US M&A head and former Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom partner, James Douglas, was became the firm’s Stateside leveraged finance chief.

A Jewish skier’s picks: Prayer, kosher food and divine snow
By Uriel Heilman February 12, 2016 5:52 pm
An Israeli flag is posted at Deer Valley's Sunset Cabin every Friday afternoon to alert skiers to the weekly Kabbalat Shabbat service. (Uriel Heilman)
Jewish skiers now can find American mountains that serve kosher food, offer daily prayers and let you ski into a Kabbalat Shabbat service. Based on this reporter’s legwork, here are some destinations that Jews should consider checking out — even if just for the divine snow.
Whenever possible: Ski Utah.
Park City: After Vail Resorts bought Park City Mountain Resort and linked it to Canyons over the summer, the newly renamed Park City Mountain became America’s largest ski area, with 7,300 acres of terrain. Fortunately, there are 41 lifts (including one to zip you from the parking lot to the base area and one from the middle of town) and more than 300 trails to help you get to around.
Combine that with the 400 inches of snow that falls in Park City every year and that’s a lot of white stuff to bust up. The powder is practically everywhere you turn: In the groves of aspens that hold fluffy snow up to several days after a storm, between the scented pines in the mountain’s shadowed canyons and in mogul piles on the advanced trails.
Park City also has the nation’s only slope-side kosher restaurant, Prime at Canyons, and most days there’s a daily Orthodox minyan prayer service next door.
Deer Valley: Cushy, well-groomed and ritzy, the mountain is home to America’s only ski-in, ski-out weekly Kabbalat Shabbat service, held every Friday afternoon. You’ve never been so elevated.
Snowbasin: If you’re looking for something off the well-trod tourist path, try this local secret — one of about 10 large ski areas within an hour’s drive of Salt Lake City (and not to be confused with the better-known Snowbird ski resort). Because there are no hotels near Snowbasin (the closest ones are in Ogden, 17 miles away), it’s almost never crowded.
The skiing there is superlative — it was the site of the downhill, combined and super-G races in the 2002 Winter Olympics — and just three lifts give you access to practically all of the mountain’s 3,000 calf-straining acres. For the experts, there’s also backcountry terrain. Just watch where you go. One wrong turn atop Allen Peak (elevation 9,465), and you’ll be headed all the way down to Ogden, at the bottom of the valley.
People skiing at Snowbasin, Utah.
Otherwise, there’s plenty to ski back East, where most of America’s Jews live.
Okemo Mountain Resort: There’s no getting around it. Skiing in the Northeast can be c-o-l-d. Nevertheless, when southern Vermont’s Okemo Mountain Resort opened North America’s first heated bubble lift in 2014, many hard-core skiers derided it as a lift for sissies. Then came the polar vortex, and they quickly got on board. Now, the resort has two bubble chairlifts, which both shield skiers from the biting New England winds and offer heated cushions for tush-warming.
Of course, no one comes to Okemo for the heat (there’s Miami Beach for that). The mountain is known for its groomed runs, relative proximity to New York (four hours by car) and kid-friendly amenities. For the little ones, there’s a slopeside tubing park, six magic carpet lifts and a 3,100-foot-long mountain coaster. For older kids, there are seven terrain parks and the longest halfpipe in the East: 18 feet high and 500 feet long. If you’re there for the skiing, Okemo is a well-suited to intermediates and beginners.
Mount Snow: If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, Mount Snow in southern Vermont has some pretty gnarly terrain, especially if you’re willing to brave the trees of the North Face. I spent a good portion of my visit in those woods, schussing quietly through untouched snow, and only rarely screaming in primal fear while desperately maneuvering to avoid hitting a tree.
For something less hair-raising, try Mount Snow’s Main Face, which is loaded with intermediate trails and has great views of the valley below, weather permitting. Unless you’re a snowboarder, avoid the Corinthia section of the mountain. It’s all terrain parks.
Gore Mountain: Most New Yorkers who take ski vacations in the East mechanically head for Vermont or New Hampshire. But here’s why you should consider Gore Mountain, in North Creek, New York: Though little-known, it’s actually the Empire State’s largest ski area (439 acres), has a respectable vertical drop (2,537 feet from peak to base) and is almost never crowded.
Gore is run by a New York state agency, the Olympic Regional Development Authority, so it’s much less commercial than most ski areas. The base area harkens back to a bygone time before ski mountains became appendages for fancy hotels and ritzy shops. And because there’s very little lodging nearby, Gore hasn’t become a destination resort.
The downside is Gore is underdeveloped. The lifts tend to be slow, and you’ll probably have to sleep at least 30 minutes away – unless you snag one of the dozen or so rooms at the quaint Gore Mountain Lodge a couple of miles down the road.
The mountain itself is a lot of fun, with some scary-steep slopes on top and some beautiful, windy tree trails mid-mountain. If you time your visit right, you can even ski in the trees. Unfortunately, as of mid-February that would require the incredible feat of skiing on dirt. Pray for snow!

Canarc Resource Corp. Amends Option Agreement on Princeton Gold Property, BC
TSX: CCM
www.canarc.net
Mr. Scott Eldridge reports:
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2019 / Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-QB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) announces that it has reached an agreement with Universal Copper Ltd. (formerly Tasca Resources Ltd.) and Sydney Wilson to modify the terms of its previously-announced option agreement dated December 20, 2018 to acquire an 80% interest in the 14,650 hectare Princeton Gold property located in southern British Columbia, Canada.
Scott Eldridge, Canarc’s CEO, stated: "The amendments reduce Canarc’s exploration commitment from $900,000 to $490,000 and give Canarc more time to conduct early stage exploration and better define targets for drilling. We plan to commence a Phase 2 exploration program this month, including prospecting, mapping, sampling and trenching of the existing gold vein prospects, as well as evaluating geochemical and geophysical methods to detect buried gold veins.”
Revised Option Agreement Terms
To earn 75% interest in the Princeton Gold property from Universal, Canarc will spend $490,000 on exploration over a 2-year period, issue 375,000 common shares and pay $25,000 to Universal as follows:
Phase 1 - CAD$100,000 on an airborne geophysical survey (completed);
Phase 2 - CAD$90,000 on exploration activity in 2019;
Issue 375,000 common shares on or before December 1, 2019;
Phase 3 - CAD$300,000 on exploration activity in 2020;
Pay CAD$25,000 on or before December 31, 2020;
Once Canarc exercises its option and earns its 75% interest, Canarc and Universal will form a 75/25 joint venture to further explore and develop the property. Universal will retain a 1% NSR royalty on the property and Sydney Wilson has a 2% NSR royalty on the “Sydney Wilson claims” portion of the property which totals 4,012 hectares. The Universal NSR and 50% of the Wilson NSR can be acquired for $1.0 million each.
The road accessible Princeton Gold property consists of 14,650 hectares located 35 kilometers south of Princeton, British Columbia, 95 kilometers south the Shovelnose property (Westhaven Ventures Inc, TSX-V: WHN), and 11 kilometers south of the producing Copper Mountain Copper Mine (Copper Mountain Mining Corporation, TSX: CMMC).
Geology and Mineralization
The property is underlain by both Eocene Princeton Group volcanics and Triassic Nicola Group volcanics. Gold bearing quartz veins occur in Nicola volcanics proximal to Princeton volcanics. Mineralization is confined to the quartz veins or within the first meter of the andesitic host rock. The quartz veins range from 0.3 to 1.8 meters in width and consist of white quartz with limonite fractures, irregular limonitic patches and a rare vuggy texture.
Canarc plans to commence a Phase 2 exploration program this month, including prospecting, mapping, sampling and trenching of the existing gold vein prospects, as well as evaluating geochemical and geophysical methods to detect buried gold veins. The property is already permitted for ten drilling sites and fifty trenching sites.

Considering divorce?
If a person wishes to terminate his or her marriage, he or she may file for a divorce. In a divorce proceeding, the court will terminate the marriage and determine the rights and responsibilities of the divorcing parties regarding child custody, child visitation, child support and spousal support (alimony). The court will also redistribute marital assets.
Depending on where you reside and where your assets are, the division of property can be a very simple or very complex process. Disputes often arise during this phase of a divorce if the two parties disagree as to who should receive which assets or property.
Finding a divorce lawyer who is experienced and reliable can reduce your stress and help you make the best choices possible. A good divorce lawyer should be a problem solver who is skilled at negotiation and possesses a solid trial background. If both parties are open to alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration or mediation, finding a lawyer experienced in collaborative divorce or divorce mediation would be beneficial.
Divorce lawyers also handle child custody issues, including multi-state and international child custody situations. Some divorce lawyers may be certified by their states as being family law specialists. Certification often requires that a lawyer meet certain experience and educational criteria.
Legal Custody: A parent with legal custody has the right to decide on the child's upbringing, education, and medical care. A court may grant legal custody to one parent (sole legal custody) or both parents (joint legal custody).
Separate Property: Property acquired before marriage or during the marriage as a gift or inheritance, or bought during marriage with separate property.

Advising a suspect on identification procedures
Should a suspect ask for an identification procedure?
Does a suspect have to consent to a request for an identification procedure?
A suspect may need legal advice on whether to request an identification procedure where the police have not offered one.
A code of practice for the exercise by police of statutory powers to identify persons has been issued under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, known as PACE Code D. PACE Code D provides that an identification procedure may be held if the officer in charge of the investigation considers it would be 'useful'. This applies even if the conditions for a mandatory identification are not satisfied.
See also Practice Note: Eye witness identification evidence.
In advising a suspect about whether to request a formal identification procedure, the police station advisor will need to take into account several factors. These include the state of the evidence, the original description given to the police by a potential eye witness and the possibility of other identification evidence, eg CCTV footage.
See Advising suspects on identification procedures—checklist.
PACE Code D provides that the original description of a potential identification witness must be disclosed to a suspect or their lawyer before an identification procedure is conducted. However, there is no entitlement to see it before a decision about whether to hold a procedure is taken.
There is nothing in PACE Code D which prohibits an identification procedure after charge.

The procedure and management of Fraud trials was determined by Fraud Protocol and Criminal Procedure Rules. The statutory scheme which determines the management of the pre-trial and trial process for serious and complex fraud cases comprises the Criminal Justice Act 1987 (CJA 1987) the Crime and Disorder Act 1988 (CDA 1998) and the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 (CPIA 1996). Section 4, Disclosure, in the Fraud Protocol (Lord Chief Justice’s Protocol of 22 March 2005 for the Control and Management of Heavy Fraud and other Complex Criminal Cases) has been superseded by the guidance on disclosure found in the Judicial Protocol on the Disclosure of Unused Material in Criminal Cases.Lord Chief Justice’s Protocol of 22 March 2005 for the Control and Management of Heavy Fraud and other Complex Criminal CasesJudicial Protocol on the Disclosure of Unused Material in Criminal Cases
In London, Fraud case management is also subject to a Practice Direction, which sets out the procedure for the management of ‘Heavy’ Fraud Trials estimated to take six weeks or more. The Practice Direction applies only to cases committed or transferred by London Magistrates' Courts to London Crown Courts or sent to London Crown Courts in accordance with the provisions of Section 51 Crime and Disorder Act 1998, or any equivalent provisions. All cases of alleged fraud or money laundering (but not other combinations such as drugs importation and money laundering) estimated by the Crown to last six weeks or more will be committed or sent to the Crown Court sitting at Southwark as the London Receiving Court for Heavy Fraud cases.

Morris as Decorator
William Morris founded Morris, Marshall, Faulkner, & Co. in 1861. His motivation was to remedy the pervasiveness of cheaply-made, mass produced furnishings that lacked any sense of beauty or style. Morris recruited friends in organizing "The Firm," including Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Phillip Webb, Ford Maddox Brown, Charles Faulkner and Peter Paul Marshall. In 1875, Morris restructured the business with himself as the sole proprietor. Morris & Co. produced objects that emphasized traditional craftsmanship and the beauty of natural materials. Morris envisioned elevating crafts to a level of artistic importance he believed existed in the Middle Ages. He also hoped to provide quality goods for the masses at an affordable price. The prospectus of the firm stated that "good decoration, involving rather the luxury of taste than the luxury of costliness, will be found to be much less expensive than is generally supposed." While Morris & Co. was not able to deliver on this promise, the firm did increase the availability of 'useful and beautiful' furnishings. Morris later lamented: "I spend my life ministering to the swinish luxury of the rich."
"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
- William Morris, The Beauty of Life, 1880 -
Click images to view enlarged versions
Philip Webb designed Red House for William Morris and his bride Jane in 1859. Morris thought commercial household decorations unsuitable, so he invited his friends to help him design the interior of his home. Many believe this creative collaboration inspired the formation of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.
A Note on the Morris Stained Glass Work
Printed by Morris & Co.
London: Morris & Co., 1913
The majority of orders placed at Morris & Co. in the 1860s were for stained glass, which the company produced from 1861 through 1930.
More than 600 churches and museums in several countries feature Morris & Co.'s stained glass work.
Minstrel Angel with Organ, 1882
All partners except Charles Faulkner contributed to the stained glass work in the early period, with Philip Webb and William Morris responsible for integrating the various partners'ideas into a single coherent design. During the 1870s and 1880s Burne-Jones produced the majority of the figure design with Morris filling in the background.
Strawberry Thief Fabric, 1883
Determined to produce vibrant, colorfast fabrics, Morris learned how to produce textiles using traditional methods and natural dyes.
Printing chintzes at Merton Abbey
Morris & Co. fabricated printed textiles, woven textiles, embroidery, carpets, and tapestries. Frustrated by the limited number of designs produced by his textile manufacturer, Morris established Merton Abbey to expand production of Morris & Co. textile offerings.
Wallpapers Catalogue, 1905
Sixty-seven wallpaper patterns were produced by Morris & Co. between 1861 and 1896. William Morris designed all patterns for Morris & Co. until 1882, when H.L. Dearle, Kate Faulkner, and May Morris also began contributing designs. Morris's wallpapers demonstrate his genius for creating repeating patterns.

Warning Against False Purveyors
The abundance of decorators imitating Morris & Co. necessitated the printing of warnings by Morris & Co. for their customers.
A Brief Sketch of the Morris Movement
The lasting popularity of Morris & Co. designs is demonstrated in these commemorative books celebrating the 50th and 150th anniversaries of the firm.

Harris County considering relocation of juvenile inmates
by admin Comments are off
Executives at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in Texas are discussing transferring 17-year-old inmates to a vacant Limestone County facility to separate them from adults, as required by the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act.
In May 2016, a federal inspector discovered that Harris County had no immediate plan to comply with the Prison Rape Elimination Act, as its 17-year-old inmates “are still housed with adult offenders in a non-compliant fashion.” Limestone County Judge Daniel Burkeen said “It’s never as convenient to keep inmates outside your county, but sometimes it’s necessary.” Juvenile justice advocates say shipping teenagers so far from Harris County punishes them and their families.

Robert Juliat Cyrano for Joburg Theatre
DWR’s Kevin Stannett with Enos Ramoroko from Joburg Theatre and the new RJ Cyrano followspots
South Africa - A recent technical upgrade at Joburg Theatre includes four Robert Juliat Cyrano 2500W HMI followspots which have been installed for use in the 1000+ seat Mandela Theatre.
The complex’s largest auditorium, The Nelson Mandela Theatre, regularly sees over 75% of capacity audiences and remains open a minimum of 50 weeks in each year. In the past decade, it has hosted many hit shows, including William Kentridge’s acclaimed interpretation of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, the West End and Broadway musicals West Side Story, Chicago, The Color Purple and Spamalot and top-of-the-line global touring shows, such as Le Grand Cirque, Lord of the Dance and Brazouka.
Joburg Theatre is also the permanent home to Joburg Ballet, Jill Girard and Keith Smith’s Peoples Theatre Company, and one of the country’s most respected community development projects in the arts, the tiny ‘black-box’ theatre known as space.com. Its varied and loaded schedule also includes Joburg Theatre’s season of annual pantomime productions.
“The Mandela Theatre’s followspots, which have probably stood the test of time for around 30 years, have been replaced by four Robert Juliat Cyranos,” says Kevin Stannett from DWR.
“We are very happy for Enos Ramoroko and his team, who have always been amazing to work with. I think Johan Tshiwo who handles all maintenance at the theatre, will be pleased to have fewer repairs on his hands.”
The recommendation and installation came from DWR Distribution. The Joburg Theatre team were very happy with the service they received. “I’d like to thank the DWR family for their support,” says Enos.

The Art Style of MAGNUS GJOEN
Pál Szakács/ September 17, 2019/ Original Art/ 0 comments
Magnus Gjoen is one artist I’m so fascinated about. I came across the works of this exceptional London-born artist in the late months of 2018. I have ever since been thrilled as to how he conveniently sees the sight of things that appear dangerous and transforms them into a fragile piece of art. His art style could be regarded as finding a thin line between the modern and contemporary art styles. ArtRepublic recently wrote a stunning piece on the art style of Magnus Gjoen. You should check it out.
If you look closely at his works, it would be hard to miss his ability to question the character and connection between war, struggle, peace and sometimes religion. His perspective of art isn’t far-fetched from his wide exposure between more than one art culture. Gjoen started his journey with studying design here in London before he then sailed down to Milan to further his studies. His passion for art made him a standout denim designer and designer in graphics working with one of the fines British fashion legend ever.
His background in fashion made him confident in infusing a contemporary ancient-feel to his works. Gjoen often returns to old destructive models and try to relate their meanings into more significant things in modern society.
Gjoen mostly attests the inspiration behind his works to imagery dating as back as the 14th century. He always finds the thought of blending it with the street art to bring about a manipulating ancient stunning success of objects charming. For years, he has always worked to create arts, drawing inspiration from various backgrounds and beliefs. Most especially the one I consider a part of his favorites; “Renaissance and Flemish masters,” war and religion. While the human race, he sets aside as his most favored subject of inspiration.
He also explores his artistic capabilities through the use of ceramics, making sculptures having his handprints written all over them. If you haven’t seen any of his sculpture works, you probably wouldn’t understand the mystery behind his crafts. Gjoen loves to capture subtle images of death and beauty, portraying objects such as human skulls and advanced and old weaponry. He never seizes to draw every viewer’s attention to the transitory nature of a feasible existence.
Most pieces he creates can change dark imagery into fragile objects. By adding a little spice of dark humor and modern art to his works, Gjoen has drawn the hearts of future generations of art lovers who understand his clear-sighted comments on modern society. Few of his art piece is digitally-built by 3D templates In illustrator. After which he adds thorough details defining every inch with shadow drops in Photoshop.
A few years ago, for the first time, Gjoen tried out with various materials like Perspex, and fine wood. I suggest he did this to prove he could come out of his digital shell and try something new. One of the created pieces was titled “Monster.” Monster describes the extremely uptight, yet confused subconscious of a serial killer. He successfully narrated how imagination can be the fundamental driving force in the foundation of a monstrous being.

Bragi Teitsson/ June 21, 2017/ Original Art/ 0 comments
As you continue in your Ukulele lessons, you will start to learn about the different skills in how to generate different sounds out of your instrument. If you want a boost in the performance skill of this stringed instrument, the Ukulele-fingerpicking is very important piece. Here you will have the guide to the ukulele basics especially for the beginners.
Most of the Ukulele players like to twang the chord of the instrument. Here you’ll have some tips about how to learn the control of each of the finger.
The basics of Ukulele-fingerpicking
The thumb-style picking is the most basic way of ukulele fingerpicking. Instead of plucking all the strings, only thumb is used to strike the particular string or strings. You might love learn from ukulelebuzz.com to practice the couple pattern that doesn’t require you to hold any of the chords at the beginning.
The styles using only the thumb:
Quarter Note Arpeggio: G C E G, G C E G
Full Ukulele Arpeggio: G C E A, G C E A
Quarter Note – Eighth-Note Mix
C E C E
Soon after you gain the mastery over these patterns taking help of your thumb only, then try each of the patterns with other fingers. After that, do with 2,3 and 4 finger styles.
The controlling of Fingers:
2 finger style: It is of 2 types
First, your thumb takes control of the G and C strings, while your first finger controls the E and A strings.
Second, your thumb to control the first 3 strings and control the top strings with first finger.
You can alternate between the thumb and the first finger, to get a Spanish guitar sound: G A, C A, E A, A A. Check out the example in the tab.
3 Finger Style:
It is a bit tricky style. It is to mimic the pattern of Banjo fingerpicking. It is moving backward and forward between high and low string like 5 stringed banjos. It can be done by alternating the thumb back and forth in between the G and C strings.
It is similar to 3 finger style, only each string is controlled by different finger. Thumb finger (G), First finger (C), Middle finger (E), and Ring finger (A). If you succeed to achieve any nice rolling you will be able to achieve the uniform rhythm.
Once you can master over these styles and decide what the best style is for you, then pour out that picking style and go on trying.
The Finger Picking Pattern of Ukulele:
Forward Banjo-Roll
Use a triad on every note to provide it a feel of banjo-roll
G E A, C E A
Reverse Banjo Roll
Same as the above but reverse
A E C, A E G
Forward-Reverse Roll
It like the same procedure as the first two rolls, simply the reverse courses as you reach the top.
G E A, A E C
Reverse Four-Finger Roll
It is also the reverse course of the previous roll.
A E C G, A E C G.
Changing of Chord
Soon after you able to control these pattern of picking as well as the rolls, it is the time for you to learn the changing of chords when you finger pick.
The professionals indorse beginning with the changes of simple chords. Go from the C to G chord, backward and forward number of times, till you get the command over it.
Once you feel contented with all the changes, begin the process of moving from C – F- G, and return. When it is done, then start working on the progressions of the common chord progressions with which you are already familiar.
By now you have sure to gain confidence to get started Ukulele finger picking. Practice more to get better and better day by day.

Illustrative work ready for reproduction that could consist of drawings , hand lettering, paintings, photographs anything that is not typeset as only text. Generally the type selected, along with the topic matter of the artwork, has been imposed by what ever society the artist was a part of. In primitive societies, the content material of artwork was frequently religion and religious intuitions, but over time artists have steadily expanded upon those themes to contain limitless implementations of individuality.
With Mötorhead’s fourth album, Ace of Spades, the band truly started to solidify its location in heavy metal history. The band would go on to a lot achievement in Europe and other areas although star status in the U.S. always eluded them. But those fans who located the band all these many years ago have stayed loyal and nevertheless stick to the band members in their far more recent endeavors The Hickmen, The Stepmothers and, of course, Cracker. With their gang vocals and slightly western tinged alt-rock, the band never ever really clicked with the mainstream. The game was Triumph guitarist/ vocalist Rik Emmet’s notion and developed to be not possible to win by band bassist Mike Levine. I’ve added these in addition to incorporating album artwork and app icons from the App Store.
In a way, the artwork on Let There Be Rock is rather simplistic, but there is just anything about these rays of light shining down on Angus that seems, properly… profound… intense… classic The cover was photographed in March 1977 in Southend, Essex, UK, at the Kursaal Ballroom and also featured the familiar AC/DC logo, developed by Gerard Huerta , for the very first Australian cover was initially different, but was eventually repackaged with this version.
So the cartoon cover of Road to Ruin, designed by punk rock zine artist John Holmstrom from a sketch created by Scottish Ramones’ fan Gus MacDonald, fit the band effectively. Please do not email me asking to add extra artwork as it doesn’t work that way – this is just a rapid way of receiving artwork from iTunes. In ancient times artwork was often treated as a craft that should be learned and studied, and artists lived modest, subservient lifestyles.
Early cultures utilised artwork to worship divine beings, and in the Middle Ages, artwork was utilised to canonize religious themes and spiritual leaders. Which is a high-end hand develop guitar pedal (For a lot more info on this guitar pedal project stick to this hyperlink I had a fantastic time screen printing this artwork with each other with Dr. No in his laboratory.

Little ones Painting Tips And Techniques
Bragi Teitsson/ February 20, 2017/ Original Art/ 0 comments
This project aids children with the subjective realm of creativity and it is also a fantastic physical exercise in sharing! Contemporary abstract art hints of realism and numerous art genres from various periods, making today’s abstract art a lot more pluralistic in character than ever. In the latter portion of the 20th century, abstract artists would express themselves via Pop Art, Conceptual Art and Functionality art – introducing consumerism and political views into their representative functions.
Mark Rothko – Orange, Red, Yellow” Rothko’s painting is probably most representative of what an ordinary person thinks of when it comes to abstract art. Suffice it to say that art, particularly abstract art, is a kind of imagery being communicated to our inner feelings on a higher level. The name Composition VII was meant to mimic the musical definition of the word- a deliberate piece in contrast to his earlier improvisations. The artist is tasked with the job of stimulating us to interpret and express our personal responses to their abstract art.
The purples for examples are a lot more in the style of pointillism- loose mixtures whose gradient is disturbing to us. But even the chaos is not constant- they would let us to rest. Abstract paintings are a fantastic addition to any art collector’s house or workplace and are very easily obtainable for anybody to proudly show. In the latter half of the 20th century, Abstract Expressionism would surface amongst a swiftly changing art planet. Larger pieces of canvas art quickly would center on the artist’s intensely emotional strategy to art.
Individual expression paves the way for many new and emerging artists who never have to try to copy what they see, which can be challenging for several, but can concentrate on what they feel. Abstract Expressionism, a successor to surrealism, is a style of art that is much more non-objective.
They can be fairly and appealing, but they never express the emotion and power of an the paintings featured in this weblog. Composition VII by Wassily Kandinsky is the most complex of a series of ten paintings created by the artist in the 1930s. Abstract painting is also extremely well-liked in home decorating as it is regarded as modern day, cool and trendy. Kandinsky’s abstract art series was focused on the thought of creation and distraction.

If You’re Still Using IE6 You Are A Problem [Opinion]
Danny Stieben April 26, 2012 26-04-2012 3 minutes
Our browsers can do a lot of stuff these days, from playing graphics-intensive games to showing cool effects to rendering video players made entirely out of HTML5. Not only can these browsers do whatever you can think of, but it’s easy to install them too.
However, there are still plenty of people out there that don’t know about that, or don’t even care what a browser is. All those people care about is knowing how to get to Facebook. Those same people tend to not install updates, and if they’re not big spenders on new computers they’re probably still using Windows XP. Windows XP without any updates means that IE6 is still being used.
In today’s highly-interactive digital world, that’s just not right. If you shudder just by looking at that old logo, you know exactly what I mean.
IE6 When It First Came Out
Don’t get me wrong, IE6 was great (keyword here being was). It was the best of the best when it came freshly squeezed out of Microsoft’s software factory. Because of that it was able to achieve the record 95% browser market share at the height of IE’s reign. It could do things other browsers couldn’t, and it was right there in the operating system. The user didn’t have to do a thing. But that was then…
You’re Missing Out
Now, we have a completely different story. The internet and its standards has evolved. The browsers have evolved to keep up and/or push those standards forward. However, not all users followed suit, resulting in an extremely slow transition to something better (the speed of transition was almost barbaric, if I may say so). In the mean time, while browsers (including later versions of IE) advanced forward, IE6 obviously stayed still. Today’s browser can do so much more thanks to HTML5, so everyone still using IE6 is missing out on all of that.
Speaking of standards, IE6 doesn’t really follow them. Microsoft decided to loosely stick with the standards, so when Firefox was actually giving IE6 a pretty good fight, developers had the trouble of creating websites that would conform to IE6’s poor standards support and Firefox’s high standards support. In the end it was almost like creating two separate websites. The world couldn’t keep going that way, and it eventually decided to follow standards.
You’re At Risk
Over time there were a lot of security exploits found, and now that Microsoft has long ago dropped support for both Windows XP and IE6, those holes aren’t going to be fixed anymore either. This should be a major concern as these holes are widely known by hackers and other evil-doers, so simply by staying with IE6 you’re putting yourself and your computer at risk. Additionally, there are plenty of other bugs still present in IE6 besides security holes, so by using IE6 you’re only going to get gray hair faster.
It’s Slow
Finally, we all know that today’s browsers are constantly breaking speed records, and the difference in speed between one of them, like Google Chrome, and IE6 is ridiculously large. This is mainly because IE6 is technology from almost a decade ago, and although it might’ve seemed relatively fast back then, it certainly isn’t anymore. Save your sanity by using something else that is much speedier. It’s more gray hair you’ll prevent from appearing.
Simply short, IE6 needs to go away. Thankfully in the western world IE6’s market share has dropped to below 1%, but other parts of the world can’t say the same (in China it’s a 25% market share…really?) Hopefully these numbers will decrease even more so that the Internet can breathe a big sigh of relief that it doesn’t have to deal with IE6 anymore. If you’re using IE6, please switch. If you know someone who still uses IE6, please make them switch in whatever ways possible. Whether it’s by upgrading IE, switching browsers, or updating the entire operating system, you’re doing the world a favor.

The Travel Information Kiosks near me use IE6 on Windows 2000, but it's very locked down. Can't believe that they were new in 2012! and they installed 2000??

I still use IE6.
For the longest time I could not afford highspeed in my area. I had to use dial-up because $10 was better than $60 per month just to get email. I also couldn't justify waiting 6 to 10 hours hogging the phone line just to upgrade my browser.
Now that I have highspeed, I prefer to use Chrome and Firefox, but I still keep IE6 for one reason. IE6 has native FTP.
I have tried other FTP clients, but I prefer IE6.
Sometimes I use IE6 just to test backward compatibility of some websites, but I have seen a bunch that don't look quite right on any browser. (Sometimes, I use IE5, too.)
Ufoguy
Even while IE 6 was widely used it was the first target of viruses and malware. They used to hijack the home page and insert popup ads. Even now IE sucks. Chrome is fast and Firefox has a lot of addons. Why go for IE. Many use it just because it is available by default.
WhatsMyIP
As a webmaster, my disdain for IE goes well beyond IE6. I even have a (mostly symbolic) petition for MS to discontinue IE all together:
http://www.change.org/petitions/discontinue-internet-explorer
I actively block IE6 and IE7 from my newer sites. My current project even blocks IE8. Web technology cannot stand still any more, it has to grow freely, and that means growing without IE.

For the individual home user, this is dead on.
But, a chunk of the 1% here (and probably the 25% in China) are from businesses that require niche software. The conflicting requirements of many of these packages make change too painful to deal with unless it is forced. For example, we had one vendor's software that only ran on ie6, and another's upgrade required ie8. We lucked out and the first vendor happened to come out with an update that allowed ie8, but that was by chance. And this was in the last year.
It is amazing how much niche software will only run with one specific browser version, or one particular OS, or has a shared network component that can only be configured for one OS. And these are not always documented. A change made for one package can lead to failures in others, or can kill the ability of a key program to print to your 2 year old $25k printers, etc.
Chrome, Netscape, Opera? For the small software vendor, you might as well ask for a Mandarin version. Most of these vendor packages don't play nice with ie9 either.
Penny-pinching or arbitrary internal I/T rules are not the only things that keep businesses on antiquated hardware and software. And unfortunately, you are likely to see some of those hanging on for years.
Smaller businesses in an even smaller niche are even worse off as they simply lack the technical knowledge to even seek out modern alternatives (if any exist), and are too small to foot the bill for development and maintenance of a complete software package. So they keep whatever works alive as long as they possibly can. Forcing MS-Dos programs to run under W7-64bit is anything but fun, but for these businesses, it is that or losing whatever functionality that software provided.
Always trying to install Chrome on my friends computer, which seem really like rocket science and they don't care until they discover the speed they were missing .

Not being an idiotic fanboy and having used all major browsers i would say that any of the major browsers on it's latest version is pretty good and can cope with pretty much everything.
In terms of useability i prefer firefox because it doesn't have all that clutter a lot of other browsers do and no fancy menus and windows as well, also i've coded my fair share of websites from the ground up and firefox definitely was the only browser that never done something it wasn't supposed to be doing, on the period from firefox 3 to firefox 3.6, chrome wouldn't behave as it should as well, but with less problems than the other browsers (except firefox which was always rock solid), then when it updated before firefox 4 came out it became as awesome as firefox as far as that is concerned, i just like the warm, more practical and less cluttered UI of the firefox but that is only personal preference and the UI of chrome isn't far behind.
Opera was the best for me back in the days of windows me, no other browser was that good, when i started coding and had to do browser tests (firefox 3 time) i expected opera to behave as impecably as it behaved before, it was pretty disappointing to me as i was an opera fan up to that day.
Opera, safari and IE recently stepped up their game recently but i can't say if they're as good as firefox and chrome right now as i'm not coding but they surely weren't one year ago, i had to do a lot of css hacks and snippets of code that would get replaced depending on what browser you were using just because they couldn't interpret the code the way it's supposed to.
Agreed that IE6 is the worst crap ever, it gave the most problems up to a point where i just decided to do a part of the site that would be smaller and have most of the stuff as well just because replacing all bits that would go wrong on the fly when the person was connecting would make the whole website need almost double the coding so i just found a good way of cutting it loose, also i would put messages saying people to upgrade their browsers to properly view all content in which if the people would click i would have links to the most recent versions of all major browsers.
I could never use Internet Explorer for any reason whatsoever...it's just. Ugh.
Krishnapriya
This problem wouldn't exist if IE had the silent update feature that Chrome has.
Silent update is a horrible feature. When I first stared using chrome i liked it. But the Silent update was too much like the firefox version. I finally had my Firefox the way i liked it. only to open it up and find out it downloaded and installed an update that wasnt working with my addons. So i had to remove FF. find the old version re install, turn off auto update and leave it the way i liked it.
Forcing people to accept new and buggy technology is not going to help any one.
"and if they’re not big spenders on new computers they’re probably still using Windows XP" Using a secure, stable, working OS, that doesnt cost an arm and a leg and offers all I need.. Yeup Im one of those people. I tried a new pc, had vista on it. Brand new, the system failed 3 days after the warranty went out.
The os was horrible. So bad, that i grabbed my old pc (which is now 10 years old) threw on my old windows xp, installed all the current updates and here I am. Still an XP fanboy.
have you even tried to search for a file in windows vista or 7 and compare it to XP? its like going from FINDING relevant information to looking for a needle in a haystack.
I agree on the security issues. But perhaps that would be better addressed by the developers of products FIXING what is out, rather then starting over and opening up new security holes.
Man, I have no idea how the hell you're using Windows 7 then. After being on 7 for so long, I could never go back to XP. It's ridiculously slow and cumbersome in comparison. Hell, even Vista with all the updates installed (properly) isn't too terrible other than the annoying UAC until you turn it off. Maybe you should try out Windows Mojave and then give it Vista/7 a shot again. ;)
95% of what is in Windows 7 is great. The other 5% is amazingly convoluted or painful to use. Unfortunately I am starting to rollout Windows XP to 7 on about 50 pcs (as the old ones age out and are replaced), and I have been hitting one weird issue after another (many of which have been known since 7 was launched, just never have been fixed).
- As Jared said, search is convoluted now. Lots of complaints in the forums on a variety of ways it doesn't do what you think it would. Simple searches pull in way too much. Complicated searches (what would have been using the check boxes in XP) require an undocumented custom scripting language. I wish I was joking.
- Don't have 4 or more shortcuts on your desktop that point to network devices, or Windows 7 will periodically wipe them out.
- ie9 having a lot of stability issues (and not being compatiable with many vendor sites.)
- and on and on with similar weird things.
Tim Brookes
25% of China's internet users are using IE6? Considering the size of China and the booming economy I'm stunned. That's a lot of people using an outdated, insecure and standard-defiant browser. Do they know of the alternatives?
I was in London last year and at the time Google had put up some massive Chrome adverts on building sites, scaffolding etc. Maybe similar techniques should be used elsewhere, especially in China and southeast Asia.
Danny Stieben
Apparently that is the case. I forget where I found that bit of information, but it's interesting just the same. Maybe it's all those Chinese hackers doing it old school?
Jokes aside, I'm not sure what's keeping them to IE6. Change is needed, for sure.
Gouthaman Karunakaran
I have a feeling that there's some kind of incompatibility with the Chinese language on modern browsers (I'm not sure, though). People in China prefer using computers in their language and this COULD be a reason.
India had a pretty big share of users on IE6 until a year back. It all changed when Google did some aggressive marketing for Chrome and people loved it!
I believe there's widespread piracy of Windows in China, so I wouldn't be surprised if people disable updates because Microsoft does "genuine Windows" checks.
I'm not sure if the checks are in IE updates or just the service packs, but either way -- i'm sure people disable updates for this reason.
(still, install another browser, at least!)
Correction, if you're NOT using Opera or Chrome, you're a problem.
Anything else is trash
I definitely wouldn't rule out Firefox. It's definitely decent enough, and plenty of people will argue that it's better than Opera. Either that, or web developers like Google are just lazy when it comes to Opera.
Greg, I would argue if you're still using Opera in 2012, you're either stuck in the past or afraid of change. While not necessarily "trash", Opera hasn't been able to tout any superiority or innovation in quite some time.
Opera definitely had a few good years of dominance back in the day but it didn't take long for other browsers, specifically Firefox, to replicate everything desirable about its UI and then surpass it in performance as well.
Chrome and Firefox are the top two preferred browsers of today.
And surprisingly, even IE has become a decent browser in its latest release... Exponentially better than the IE6 days.
It's a shame that Firefox's appeal has started to decline in the last couple years. It can't compete with the performance of Chrome's V8 JS engine and in general it just seems to be getting slower and slower (and heavier and heavier) with each new major release. :(
Well that is just my opinion.....
I only use Google Chrome. I haven't used Opera in a while, but when I did it worked on my older computer when nothing else would. Opera is still pretty good even to this day IMO. I agree FF is getting slower (which is why I don't use it) :)
muotechguy
That additional '6' in the title doesn't need to be there. If you are using IE of ANY version, you are the problem.
Personally, I agree that any version of IE is a problem. However, looking at it without personal preferences, it's mainly just IE6. IE9 is making up for the problems IE has had before, and I'd rather encourage that people at least use IE9 if they don't want to move away from the IE name. I'll only be a happy camper with Firefox or Chrome, though.
I'd agree, but still -- IE 6 is a much worse problem than IE 9.
Mihovil Pletikos
what is so bad about ie9 or even ie10... imho ie10 is the best browser i used.... note that i used chrome from the first beta, and also first betas of firefox... so i'm not biased....
From a web developer perspective, I believe that IE 9 is lacking in its support for various features (Not sure about IE 10, I've heard it's also improved -- Microsoft actually seems to be trying to improve IE these days).
Here's a Mozilla response to IE9: http://people.mozilla.com/~prouget/ie9/
From the link:
"Let me just list some of the stuff IE9 doesn't support:
Application Cache (offline)
Web Workers (threads in JavaScript)
File API
WebGL (3D)
Drag'n Drop from Desktop
[and more]
Scutterman
Generally speaking, the only people I know still using IE6 are large companies who enforce ridiculous software rules (can't install browsers), and have a system built so tightly around a particular browser (IE) that upgrading is out of the question. However, most of those that I deal with now are using IE7, and as soon as they switch to IE8 or later, there should be no issue with upgrading more regularly. I'm trying to do my part to speed things along by only supporting the latest two major releases of any browser, however some of our clients have specific restrictions we need to work toward.
Microsoft can help by starting minor releases, which will mean that the latest IE isn't out of date within two months of it's release, and also that the migration to the next major release isn't such a big leap.
Lots of minor updates sounds like a good idea, but most corporations will probably find some way to complain about constantly applying them all. In the end they'd probably prefer big updates in long intervals as Microsoft has done in the past. Quite honestly, I just think it's an issue of managing client machines. Upgrading every single day wouldn't even be an issue with a good management system.
One minor version every two or four months would help them so much, and they can be applied through windows update on Patch Tuesday.
Actually this is quite the problem. I worked in the IT department for a company for a few months right when they were rolling over from XP to 7, and it was a nightmare. They had so many proprietary web-based programs that needed to run on IE 6/7, it made the update process ridiculously difficult. Even running IE9 in compatibility mode didn't work for many applications. Given most of them are internal, I'm still bitter with the company for having such strict and idiotic software standards. They're too penny-pinching to upgrade, but the big wigs still stuff their pockets.
Reý Aetar
here ie6 is seen only in cybercafes as ie6 combined with a slow dial up connection shared by numerous computers is a great source of profit.. :/
I know exactly what you mean. Thank goodness for relatively affordable netbooks!
JohanKlos
Good points, I agree. However, I'm wondering... how many visitors of MakeUseOf.com are still using IE6?
Since the people who are still using that decrepit dinosaur are not likely to visit any tech sites, what are the chances any of them will actually come across your article? ;)
In my opinion, the only way "we" are going to get rid of IE6 is to make every website stop allowing it.
I wonder if James, our tech guy, can come up with some stats? It'd sure be interesting to know...
Just because it's unlikely common readers will still be using IE6 doesn't mean it won't be shared outside to other sites or social media and reach people who use IE6 :)
I agree. There's no other way, really. If we must annoy the crap out of IE6 users for them to upgrade and save the Internet, so be it.
I think It'll be a great idea if you guys can annoy visitors using IE6 with some kind of a message forcing them to upgrade to IE9 or even better, another modern browser. MUO will be doing great service with its popularity.
Aaron Couch
Good points here. Hopefully it will help some. I really liked the title too. However, the only problem is that people who are using IE6 probably don't even know what IE6 is... or worse, what "IE" stands for.
Ah, that's true. I didn't think about that...although there is the IE logo at the top of the article, so most people who don't even know what to do with the term "Internet Explorer" will recognize it.
Sure but it won't appear as Internet Explorer on Google because of the title of the page, do consider changing it. and why not a couple of times in the article itself, in fact if we all try to use Internet Explorer every now and then, we are helping create awereness of the evil within that browser.

Solskjaer's biggest tactical issue at Manchester United was exposed by Pep Guardiola and Man City
Man Utd have a mountain to climb in their Carabao Cup semi-final tie after losing 3-1 at Old Trafford to Manchester City.
Tyrone MarshallSenior Football Writer
Finding a Plan B
At the weekend Pep Guardiola said he expected this two-legged semi-final tie to follow a similar pattern to the league encounter at the Etihad a month ago, where United were blistering on the counter and City had little answer to that pace.
When the words came out of the Catalan's mouth it felt like there was a sucker punch coming. The City boss hasn't won all there is to win by falling for the same trick twice. It would have been staggering if City hadn't developed a Plan B to deal with United. They couldn't be that naive again.
Unfortunately United hadn't developed a Plan B and there's been little sign of one all season. While Guardiola's masterstroke of playing without a striker and relying on the intelligence of Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne to confuse United's defence and midfield worked a treat, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looked lost for a response.
While Guardiola spent most of the first half patrolling his technical area, as the damage got gradually worse Solskjaer retreated the dugout to try and conjure up a plan for the second half, only to find the game out of United's reach by then.
Manchester United player ratings: Jesse Lingard and Phil Jones awful vs Man City
Some Manchester United players cannot survive this latest shambles
He bought Nemanja Matic on at the break but it was a move that should probably have been made in the first half, when it was clear that United's issue was the lack of a defensive midfielder with the experience and nous to work out why they were being pulled apart. Matic could have organised a more coherent way of dealing with the movement of De Bruyne and Bernardo. United improved after the break but it will almost certainly prove to be too little too late.
This competition looked like Solskjaer's best bet for a trophy this season and perhaps a cast iron guarantee of another season in charge. Instead this defeat only leaves more questions over his reign. For every step forward United take they're soon on the retreat again.
Inter Milan interested in Manchester United captain Ashley Young in transfer window
Rather than securing Solskjaer's future, this competition could have cast doubt on it. Everyone at United wants this union to be a success and the Norwegian has good ideas about how the club should find its way back to the top, but progress remains slow.
Time is running out for Lingard
Ironic cheers greeted the announcement of Jesse Lingard's half-time withdrawal and that indignity just about summed up another disappointing contribution from the 27-year-old.
Lingard's inability to make a place his own in this United side has mirrored the team's issues as a whole. At the Etihad a month ago he was the perfect link between midfield and attack. Here he was anonymous for 45 minutes.
This should be the prime years of his career, but Lingard and United is beginning to look like a loveless marriage. It feels like time is running out.
Marcus Rashford reacts to Manchester United derby defeat to Man City
A bright spot
Solskjaer was furious when City's third arrived just before half-time, believing Brandon Williams had been fouled by Riyad Mahrez in the build-up. In reality Williams had just lost his footing, which was unfortunate as he'd done the hard work in making up good ground to beat the winger to the ball as City flew forward on the break.
Williams was just about the only bright spot on a wretched night for United. The 19-year-old was making his 10th start for the club and this was the first time he'd tasted defeat. It will take a while to get over.
His pace on the recovery is a valuable asset to a back four that lacks natural speed however and he's shown that same dynamism when it comes to getting forward. He stuck to his task manfully and showed plenty of fight and aggression. He deserves more chances to edge ahead of Luke Shaw as United's first-choice left-back.
Micah Richards makes Marcus Rashford Man City claim after Man Utd defeat
Captaincy roulette
It's difficult to argue against the idea that Wythenshawe-born Marcus Rashford hasn't earned the right to captain United at some point, doing so for the first time on the night of his 199th start for the club, a remarkable return for someone still just 22.
But his ascension to the role on derby day only increased the uncertainty around the role this season. In wearing the armband against City Rashford became the seventh different player to captain United in 32 games this season. It's been like captaincy roulette at times.
Marcus Rashford captained United for the first time against City
There's been little consistency to some of the decisions either. David De Gea has worn the armband in the Premier League and Europa League this season, but was overlooked against City.
It may be that Rashford is a real contender to become a long-term captain at Old Trafford, but when Solskjaer discussed his captaincy options towards the end of last season he didn't mention him. He's shown leadership in performances on the pitch this season and did so again against City. He's deserved this reward, but that United have now been through seven captains by early January shows the uncertainty there is over the role.
Manchester United vs Man City pictures
United's No. 1
If United's team to face City told us anything it was that De Gea's status as United's first choice goalkeeper will be untouchable for the rest of this season, at least.
Sergio Romero might have hoped he'd have back-to-back games to try and put some pressure on De Gea, who has been below his best again recently, but having played so well at Molineux against Wolves in the FA Cup, it was back to the bench for the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Romero had started eight of United's nine cup games this season - only missing the Europa League clash at AZ Alkmaar, played on an artificial pitch - but his absence here gave weight to the theory that he doesn't have the robustness to play regularly, which would prevent him from ever launching a challenge to De Gea's status as United's first choice goalkeeper.

Prince Charles Reportedly Always Wanted a Daughter, Just like Diana
By Katherine J Igoe
WPA Pool Getty Images
Prince Charles is close with daughters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, and now we have even more insight into their relationship, per E! News.
Apparently Charles always wanted a daughter, although OF COURSE he absolutely raved over Princes William and Harry.
Princess Diana also wanted a daughter, apparently.
It's no secret that Prince Charles has a loving relationship with his daughters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. After all, Charles filled in at the last minute to walk Meghan down the aisle during her wedding to Prince Harry. But now we have a little more insight into Charles' secret hope when he and Diana were having kids—that they would have a girl.
Here are all the details, per E! News:
According to Princess Diana, when she was pregnant with their second child her husband was not-so-secretly hoping that it would be a girl. When instead Prince Harry was born at St. Mary's Hospital in September 1984, he was "so disappointed," she claimed, and even expressed mock dismay over the baby's thatch of red hair.
Of course, later Charles was all smiles over Harry. "In an interview given a couple months after Harry's birth, Charles called Harry 'absolutely adorable' and said the baby was 'extraordinarily good, sleeps marvelously and eats very well.'" He even joked that they almost had a "full polo team."
It recently came to light that Princess Diana also wanted a daughter. According to her former butler, Paul Burrell, who's given insight about the princess in the past, "Diana always wanted a girl," he told Express.
In addition to Charles' budding relationship with Meghan, he also has a good dynamic with Kate, and there are photos to prove it (this was way back in 2017! And you know Kate and William are usually hands-off in public, literally):

Others have also spoken about their bond. "Charles and Kate have always got on very well," a source told The Telegraph. "As the mother of his grandchildren, of course the prince dotes on her."
But this extra insight is a nice touch that adds to the sweet intimacy of Charles' relationships with his two daughters by marriage.

Opening of Exhibition “Cobourg’s Sweetheart”
On September 8, there was an opening reception to the Exhibit at the Art Gallery of Northumberland (AGN) that explores the Cobourg community’s relationship with Marie Dressler over the past 90 years. Part of the celebration of Marie’s 150th birthday, it was produced by the Marie Dressler Foundation and curated by Kristina Karakolis. Featuring historical images and documents, it tells the story of Marie with emphasis on her connection to Cobourg. Because of Marie’s film connection, two exhibits use TV monitors to show a video and trailers. The reception featured special 150th birthday cookies and welcomed a number of tourists who were in town at the time. In attendance were Mayor Gil Brocanier, Councillors Suzanne Seguin, Aaron Burchat and Debra McCarthy as well as previous Mayor Peter Delanty and of course the AGN's Executive Director Olinda Casimiro.

Quantum Break, A Link to the Past new 3DS VC, and Bravely Second most recently.
Juice, how are you digging Quantum Break?
Haven't played it since it's launch week lol. It's a bad habit of mine to buy game's play them a lot when they're out, and forget about them. I've played through the first two acts and so far I like it. The gameplay is fun with all the powers, and there's a ton of back story collectibles if that's your thing. The TV show side is weird. The first episode was really bad at introducing characters, a lot of them I had no idea who they were until I connected dots in the second act with backstory collectibles. The second episode was a bit better in my opinion, but still not like "wow amazing."

Cat calls in the metro
October 17, 2016 October 17, 2016 DiMe
”What really annoys me is cat calling and when guys are like [– –] learn to take a compliment and I’m like hey yo nice tits isn’t a compliment because I didn’t ask for your opinion.”
– Interview, June 2016
This is how one 16-year-old young person explains their frustration over getting sexist comments when travelling alone in the Helsinki metro. In the excerpt they refer to cat calling, a concept that means insulting and sexist name-calling and remarks in public spaces.
During our fieldwork in June 2016, this was not the only interview where young people talked about their experiences of gendered or sexist harassment in the Helsinki metro, tram, local train or public spaces. While most of our informants felt rather safe and sound in public transport and urban spaces, there were also narratives of being name-called, insulted or physically harassed. Young people talked a lot about their spatial and digital strategies of coping with unwanted social interaction in the metro, such as choosing to stand instead of sitting down, choosing a specific seat, listening to music or flipping through their smartphone to avoid any contact.
Practicing social power in urban space
In the quotation, the reference to cat calling echoes of the newest feminist movement of the 2010s. Originally, a cat call or cat calling refers to the mid-17th century, originally denoting a whistle or squeaking instrument used as an expression of disapproval at the theatre. In the 2010s, the concept has become frequently used especially in feminist blogs, social media platforms and political initiatives to tackle gendered and sexist harassment in public spaces.
While several young people mentioned unwanted gendered or sexist attention in public transport, cat calling as a concept was directly referred to only once in our interviews. This young person was, perhaps not surprisingly, an active follower of Anglophone feminist and LGBT social media profiles in, for example, Twitter, Tumblr and YouTube.
Cat calling can be understood as a form of social power used in public spaces: it occurs through gaze and actions and actualizes in concrete and forced encounters between people. While cat calling is most often used in terms of male commentary on females, street harassment occurs in many different forms.
During recent years, cat calling and other forms of street harassment have become a target of digital feminist activism and initiatives, including, for example, Hollaback!, a feminist non-profit movement with a goal to end street harassment. Originating from the US, Hollaback! is a transnational, young feminist movement that bases it actions simultaneously in urban and digital spaces.
Hollaback! defines street harassment as follows:
“Street harassment can be sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, sizeist and/or classist. It is an expression of the interlocking and overlapping oppressions we face and it functions as a means to silence our voices and “keep us in our place” (http://www.ihollaback.org/street-harassment/)
Precisely as the young person interviewed describes in the quotation, cat calling is often reduced to not being able to see sexist remarks as compliments. Thus, negative reactions by those who become cat called are often seen as petty and humorless. This tells about gendered power relations: the one who cat calls also has power to define “appropriate” reactions to it.
Breaking the norm of silence
In June, I was in the metro, traveling home after a long workday. It was a nice, warm afternoon, and it was quite packed and hot in the metro car. I was listening to music and flipping through my mobile phone. Suddenly an elderly person, who appeared to be drunk, confronted a young person sitting opposite to me and said: “Why did you leave your trousers home? Go back home and put on some clothes.” After saying this, the elderly person walked away to the other end of the metro car.
We perhaps rarely think about the metro as a gendered and gendering space because of its mundane nature and internalized, silent codes for social interaction. However, it is precisely these everyday places and spaces where gender is done, challenged, played with and forced upon.
One of our interviewees saw gendering practices in the metro and urban spaces as especially annoying and disturbing because these actions violated their gender identity. In the metro space, they were approached as a girl, however, they identified as being gender fluid: one day a boy, the other a girl. Thus, the metro space became, for them, a place of forced gender identity.
Another young person pondered upon the social code in Helsinki metro, naming it ‘norm of silence’ – you are not supposed to talk to strangers, you ought to keep to yourself and not initiate contact or intervene.
In this context of norm of silence, cat calling becomes even more disturbing. Firstly, as a form of gendered and sexist harassment, it breaks the norm of not talking to strangers in the metro. Secondly, the norm of silence makes it difficult for people to act and intervene – and, also, too easy to sit back and look away. One of our interviewees described it as follows:
“And when people, like, although they see that something like that happens they don’t do nothing, they don’t come and say anything to that person.”
The incident in June still haunts me. It was so sudden that I couldn’t get one word out of my mouth. After the elderly person had walked away, I smiled at the young person sitting opposite to me, tried to look as annoyed as possible and said something small and encouraging.
This internalized norm of silence needs to be challenged and broken.

Spoilers: New song
Hey guys… I think Akari’s going to be the main character of the next season. Don’t tell anyone else, though. Also looks like we found another character who can’t do her times tables. At least she doesn’t make a joke about it. Oh yes, and this episode uses my most favorite trope ever, the everlasting stars. I hope you enjoy this plotline that took 47 episodes to resolve.
Episode 97: Torrent | Magnet (sorry for being late)

This information is intended for use by health professionals
One mL of emulsion contains 1 mg of ciclosporin.
Excipient with known effect:
One mL of emulsion contains 0.05 mg cetalkonium chloride (see section 4.4).
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
Eye drops, emulsion.
Milky white emulsion.
Treatment of severe keratitis in adult patients with dry eye disease, which has not improved despite treatment with tear substitutes (see section 5.1).
IKERVIS treatment must be initiated by an ophthalmologist or a healthcare professional qualified in ophthalmology.
The recommended dose is one drop of IKERVIS once daily to be applied to the affected eye(s) at bedtime.
Response to treatment should be reassessed at least every 6 months.
If a dose is missed, treatment should be continued on the next day as normal. Patients should be advised not to instil more than one drop in the affected eye(s).
Elderly patients
The elderly population has been studied in clinical studies. No dose adjustment is required.
Patients with renal or hepatic impairment
The effect of IKERVIS has not been studied in patients with hepatic or renal impairment. However, no special considerations are needed in these populations.
Paediatric population
There is no relevant use of IKERVIS in children and adolescents aged below 18 in the treatment of severe keratitis in patients with dry eye disease, which has not improved despite treatment with tear substitutes.
Ocular use.
Precautions to be taken before administering the medicinal product
Patients should be instructed to first wash their hands.
Prior to administration, the single-dose container should be gently shaken.
For single use only. Each single-dose container is sufficient to treat both eyes. Any unused emulsion should be discarded immediately.
Patients should be instructed to use nasolacrimal occlusion and to close the eyelids for 2 minutes after instillation, to reduce the systemic absorption. This may result in a decrease in systemic undesirable effects and an increase in local activity (see section 4.4).
If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the medicinal products must be administered at least 15 minutes apart. IKERVIS should be administered last (see section 4.4).
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Ocular or peri-ocular malignancies or premalignant conditions
Active or suspected ocular or peri-ocular infection.
IKERVIS has not been studied in patients with a history of ocular herpes and should therefore be used with caution in such patients.
Patients wearing contact lenses have not been studied. Careful monitoring of patients with severe keratitis is recommended. Contact lenses should be removed before instillation of the eye drops at bedtime and may be reinserted at wake-up time.
Concomitant therapy
There is limited experience with IKERVIS in the treatment of patients with glaucoma. Caution should be exercised when treating these patients concomitantly with IKERVIS, especially with beta-blockers which are known to decrease tear secretion.
Co-administration of Ikervis with eye drops containing corticosteroids may potentiate the effects of Ikervis on the immune system. Therefore, caution should be exercised when corticosteroids are administered concomitantly with Ikervis (see section 4.5).
Effects on the immune system
Ophthalmic medicinal products, which affect the immune system, including ciclosporin, may affect host defences against local infections and malignancies. Therefore, regular examination of the eye(s) is recommended, e.g. at least every 6 months, when Ikervis is used for years.
Excipient
IKERVIS contains cetalkonium chloride which may cause eye irritation.
No interaction studies have been performed with IKERVIS.
Combination with other medicinal products that affect the immune system
Co-administration of IKERVIS with eye drops containing corticosteroids could potentiate the effects of ciclosporin on the immune system (see section 4.4).
Women of childbearing potential/contraception in females
IKERVIS is not recommended in women of childbearing potential not using effective contraception.
There is no data from the use of IKERVIS in pregnant women.
Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity following systemic administration of ciclosporin at exposure considered sufficiently in excess of the maximum human exposure indicating little relevance to the clinical use of IKERVIS.
IKERVIS is not recommended during pregnancy unless the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the foetus.
Following oral administration, ciclosporin is excreted in breast milk. There is insufficient information on the effects of ciclosporin in newborns/infants. However, at therapeutic doses of ciclosporin in eye drops, it is unlikely that sufficient amounts would be present in breast milk. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from IKERVIS therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.
There is no data on the effects of IKERVIS on human fertility.
No impairment of fertility has been reported in animals receiving intravenous ciclosporin (see section 5.3).
IKERVIS has moderate influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
This medicinal product may induce temporary blurred vision or other visual disturbances which may affect the ability to drive or use machines (see section 4.8). Patients should be advised not to drive or use machines until their vision has cleared.
Summary of the safety profile
In five clinical studies including 532 patients who received IKERVIS and 398 who received IKERVIS vehicle (control), IKERVIS was administered at least once a day in both eyes, for up to one year. The most common adverse reactions were eye pain (19.2%), eye irritation (17.8%), lacrimation (6.4%), ocular hyperaemia (5.5%) and eyelid erythema (1.7%) which were usually transitory and occurred during instillation.
The majority of adverse reactions reported in clinical studies with the use of IKERVIS were ocular and mild to moderate in severity.
Tabulated list of adverse reactions
The following adverse reactions listed below were observed in clinical studies. They are ranked according to system organ class and classified according to the following convention: very common (≥1/10), common (≥1/100 to <1/10), uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100), rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000), very rare (<1/10,000), or not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Infections and infestations
Keratitis bacterial, herpes zoster ophthalmic.
Erythema of eyelid, lacrimation increased, ocular hyperaemia, vision blurred, eyelid oedema, conjunctival hyperaemia, eye irritation, eye pain.
Conjunctival oedema, lacrimal disorder, eye discharge, eye pruritus, conjunctival irritation, conjunctivitis, foreign body sensation in eyes, deposit eye, keratitis, blepharitis, corneal decompensation, chalazion, corneal infiltrates, corneal scar, eyelid pruritus, iridocyclitis.
General disorders and administration site conditions
Instillation site pain.
Instillation site irritation, instillation site erythema, instillation site lacrimation.
Instillation site reaction, instillation site discomfort, instillation site pruritus, instillation site foreign body sensation.
Description of selected adverse reactions
Instillation site pain was a frequently reported local adverse reaction associated with the use of IKERVIS during clinical trials. It is likely to be attributable to ciclosporin.
One case of severe epithelial erosion of the cornea identified as corneal decompensation by the investigator resolved without sequeleae was reported.
Patients receiving immunosuppressive therapies, including ciclosporin, are at increased risk of infections. Both generalised and localised infections can occur. Pre-existing infections may also be aggravated (see section 4.3). Cases of infections have been reported uncommonly in association with the use of IKERVIS. To reduce the systemic absorption, see section 4.2.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions (see contact details below).
HPRA Pharmacovigilance

Yellow Card Scheme
Website: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store.
A topical overdose is not likely to occur after ocular administration. If overdose with IKERVIS occurs, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive.
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Ophthalmologicals, other ophthalmologicals, ATC code: S01XA18.
Mechanism of action and pharmacodynamic effects
Ciclosporin (also known as ciclosporin A) is a cyclic polypeptide immunomodulator with immunosuppressant properties. It has been shown to prolong survival of allogeneic transplants in animals and significantly improved graft survival in all types of solid organ transplantation in man.
Ciclosporin has also been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect. Studies in animals suggest that ciclosporin inhibits the development of cell-mediated reactions. Ciclosporin has been shown to inhibit the production and/or release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin 2 (IL-2) or T-cell growth factor (TCGF). It is also known to up-regulate the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines. Ciclosporin appears to block the resting lymphocytes in the G0 or G1 phase of the cell cycle. All available evidence suggests that ciclosporin acts specifically and reversibly on lymphocytes and does not depress haematopoiesis or has any effect on the function of phagocytic cells..
In patients with dry eye disease, a condition that may be considered to have an inflammatory immunological mechanism, following ocular administration, ciclosporin is passively absorbed into T-lymphocyte infiltrates in the cornea and conjunctiva and inactivates calcineurin phosphatase. Ciclosporin-induced inactivation of calcineurin inhibits the dephosphorylation of the transcription factor NF-AT and prevents NF-AT translocation into the nucleus, thus blocking the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-2.
Clinical efficacy and safety
The efficacy and safety of IKERVIS were evaluated in two randomised, double-masked, vehicle-controlled clinical studies in adult patients with dry eye disease (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) who met the International Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS) criteria.
In the 12 month, double-masked, vehicle controlled, pivotal clinical trial (SANSIKA study), 246 Dry Eye Disease (DED) patients with severe keratitis (defined as a corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score of 4 on the modified Oxford scale) were randomised to one drop of IKERVIS or vehicle daily at bedtime for 6 months. Patients randomised to the vehicle group were switched to IKERVIS after 6 months. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving by Month 6 at least a two-grade improvement in keratitis (CFS) and a 30% improvement in symptoms, measured with the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). The proportion of responders in the IKERVIS group was 28.6%, compared to 23.1% in the vehicle group. The difference was not statistically significant (p=0.326).
The severity of keratitis, assessed using CFS, improved significantly from baseline at Month 6 with IKERVIS compared to vehicle (mean change from baseline was -1.764 with IKERVIS vs. -1.418 with vehicle, p=0.037). The proportion of IKERVIS-treated patients with a 3-grade improvement in CFS score at Month 6 (from 4 to 1) was 28.8%, compared to 9.6% of vehicle-treated subjects, but this was a post-hoc analysis, which limits the robustness of this outcome. The beneficial effect on keratitis was maintained in the open phase of the study, from Month 6 and up to Month 12.
The mean change from baseline in the 100-point OSDI score was -13.6 with IKERVIS and -14.1 with vehicle at Month 6 (p=0.858). In addition, no improvement was observed for IKERVIS compared to vehicle at Month 6 for other secondary endpoints, including ocular discomfort score, Schirmer test, use of concomitant artificial tears, investigator's global evaluation of efficacy, tear break-up time, lissamine green staining, quality of life score, and tear osmolarity.
A reduction in the ocular surface inflammation assessed with Human Leukocyte Antigen-DR (HLA-DR) expression (an exploratory endpoint), was observed at Month 6 in favour of IKERVIS (p=0.021).
In the 6 month, double-masked, vehicle controlled, supportive clinical trial (SICCANOVE study), 492 DED patients with moderate to severe keratitis (defined as a CFS score of 2 to 4) were also randomised to IKERVIS or vehicle daily at bedtime for 6 months. The co-primary endpoints were the change in CFS score, and the change in global score of ocular discomfort unrelated to study medication instillation, both measured at Month 6. A small but statistically significant difference in CFS improvement was observed between the treatment groups at Month 6 in favour of IKERVIS (mean change from baseline in CFS -1.05 with IKERVIS and -0.82 with vehicle, p=0.009).
The mean change from baseline in ocular discomfort score (assessed using a Visual Analogic Scale) was -12.82 with IKERVIS and -11.21 with vehicle (p=0.808).
In both studies, no significant improvement of symptoms was observed for IKERVIS compared to vehicle after 6 months of treatment, whether using a visual analogue scale or the OSDI.
In both studies one third of the patients in average had Sjögren's syndrome; as for the overall population, a statistically significant improvement in CFS in favour of IKERVIS was observed in this subgroup of patients.
At completion of the SANSIKA study (12 month study), patients were asked to enter the Post SANSIKA study. This study was an open-label, non-randomized, one-arm, 24-month study extension of the Sansika Study. In Post SANSIKA study patients alternatively received IKERVIS treatment or no treatment depending on CFS score (patients received IKERVIS when there was a worsening of keratitis).
This study was designed to monitor the long-term efficacy and relapse rates in patients who have previously received IKERVIS.
The primary objective of the study was to assess the duration of the improvement following IKERVIS treatment discontinuation once the patient was improved with respect to the baseline of the SANSIKA study (i.e. at least 2 grade improvement on the modified Oxford scale).
67 patients were enrolled (37.9% of the 177 patients having ended Sansika). After the 24-month period, 61.3% of 62 patients included in the primary efficacy population did not experience a relapse based on CFS scores. Percentage of patients who experienced a severe keratitis recurrence was 35% and 48% in patients treated 12 months and 6 months with IKERVIS respectively in the SANSIKA study.
Based on the first quartile (the median could not be estimated due to the small number of relapses), time to relapse (back to CFS grade 4) was ≤224 days and ≤175 days in patients previously treated 12 months and 6 months with IKERVIS, respectively. Patients spent more time on CFS grade 2 (Median 12.7 weeks/year) and grade 1 (Median 6.6 weeks/year) than CFS grade 3 (Median 2.4 weeks/year), CFS grades 4 and 5 (Median time 0 week/year).
Assessment of DED symptoms by VAS showed a worsening of patient's discomfort from the time treatment was first stopped to the time it was restarted except pain which remained relatively low and stable. The median global VAS score increased from the time treatment was first stopped (23.3%) to the time treatment was restarted (45.1%).
No significant changes have been observed in the other secondary endpoints (TBUT, lissamine green staining and Schirmer test, NEI-VFQ and EQ-5D) over the course of the extension study.
The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with IKERVIS in all subsets of the paediatric population for dry eye disease (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
Formal pharmacokinetic studies have not been conducted in humans with IKERVIS.
Blood concentrations of IKERVIS were measured using a specific high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry assay. In 374 patients from the two efficacy studies, plasma concentrations of ciclosporin were measured before administration and after 6 months (SICCANOVE study and SANSIKA study) and 12 months of treatment (SANSIKA study). After 6 months of ocular instillation of IKERVIS once per day, 327 patients had values below the lower limit of detection (0.050 ng/mL) and 35 patients were below the lower limit of quantification (0.100 ng/mL). Measurable values not exceeding 0.206 ng/mL were measured in eight patients, values considered to be negligible. Three patients had values above the upper limit of quantification (5 ng/mL) however they were already taking oral ciclosporin at a stable dose, which was allowed by the studies' protocol. After 12 months of treatment, values were below the low limit of detection for 56 patients and below the low limit of quantification in 19 patients. Seven patients had measurable values (from 0.105 to 1.27 ng/mL), all considered to be negligible values. Two patients had values above the upper limit of quantification, however they were also on oral ciclosporin at a stable dose since their inclusion in the study.
Non-clinical data reveal no special hazard for humans based on conventional studies of safety pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, phototoxicity and photoallergy, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential, toxicity to reproduction and development.
Effects in non-clinical studies were observed only with systemic administration or at exposures considered sufficiently in excess of the maximum human exposure indicating little relevance to clinical use.

Carlton Connected Communities
Connie Foongon November 30, 2010 /0 comments

A NEW banking initiative is being launched to support community projects and groups in Carlton.
An informal committee – currently represented by residents, students and workers in Carlton – has been working with Bendigo Bank in Carlton and the Melbourne City Council to establish a Carlton Connected Communities Fund.
Under the program, the Bendigo Bank in Carlton would provide an ongoing revenue stream by committing 0.12 per cent of overall profits from new accounts and 0.05 per cent from existing accounts to support grassroots-driven projects benefitting the Carlton community.
But the committee will first have to win the support of the community by obtaining 150 pledges for new and existing banking business at the Bendigo Bank Carlton branch.
Susanna Bevilacqua, community and business development manager at Bendigo Bank Carlton, said the community approach to banking has worked well in regional Victoria and helped numerous communities build vital infrastructure like sporting facilities and health services in the past 15 years.
“We want to be able to engage with the community at the local level,” Ms Bevilacqua said.
“The (Carlton) initiative began with the bank approaching the local council to identify community needs… and working with the council on a community plan they have put together.”
The Carlton Community Plan was formally launched in September 2010, following extensive contributions from the Carlton community to identify shared challenges, priorities and actions to make Carlton a vibrant, inclusive, equitable and thriving place to live, work, study and visit.
“We might have the infrastructure, but there might be services that are missing. We might live near the city, but it doesn’t mean we have everything,” Ms Bevilacqua said.
“From people living in the housing estate feeling disconnected, the lack of jobs for migrants, to the student population feeling isolated and not having adequate facilities – these are things that community projects can potentially help… and there are ways of bringing people together to make it more united.”
At the end of November, the committee was just shy of reaching the halfway mark, with 66 pledges of support.
Ms Bevilacqua said the committee was still looking for more members to play an active role in the decision-making and planning process, and the committee would be formalised and become independent of the Bendigo Bank once the 150-pledge target was met.
The Carlton Connected Communities Committee would then work with the local community to identify potential projects or initiatives and manage the fund, she said.
Any organisations, groups or businesses based in Carlton would be able to apply for grants from the Carlton Connected Communities Fund to support their services or programs.
The Bendigo Bank in Carlton is located at 186-190 Lygon St, Carlton. To sign up, or for more information on the Carlton Connected Communities program, contact Michelle Mason 96391354.

Chapter 1 AMONG THE HILLS
There were three at the breakfast-table-Mr. Newthorpe, his daughter Annabel, and their visitor (Annabel's Cousin), Miss Paula Tyrrell. It was a small, low, soberly-furnished room, the walls covered with carelessly-hung etchings and water-colours, and with photographs which were doubtless mementoes of travel; dwarf bookcases held overflowings from the library; volumes in disorder, clearly more for use than ornament. The casements were open to let in the air of a July morning. Between the thickets of the garden the eye caught glimpses of sun-smitten lake and sheer hillside; for the house stood on the shore of Ullswater.
Of the three breakfasting, Miss Tyrrell was certainly the one whose presence would least allow itself to be overlooked. Her appetite was hearty, but it scarcely interfered with the free flow of her airy talk, which was independent of remark or reply from her companions. Though it was not apparent in her demeanour, this young lady was suffering under a Calamity; her second 'season' had been ruined at its very culmination by a ludicrous contretemps in the shape of an attack of measles. Just when she flattered herself that she had never looked so lovely, an instrument of destiny embraced her in the shape of an affectionate child, and lo! she was a fright. Her constitution had soon thrown off the evil thing, but Mrs. Tyrrell decreed her banishment for a time to the remote dwelling of her literary uncle. Once more Paula was lovely, and yet one could scarcely say that the worst was over, seeing that she was constrained to pass summer days within view of Helvellyn when she might have been in Piccadilly.
Mr. Newthorpe seldom interrupted his niece's monologue, but his eye often rested upon her, seemingly in good-natured speculation, and he bent his head acquiescingly when she put in a quick 'Don't you think so?' after a running series of comments on some matter which smacked exceedingly of the town. He was not more than five-and-forty, yet had thin, grizzled hair, and a sallow face with lines of trouble deeply scored upon it. His costume was very careless-indeed, all but slovenly-and his attitude in the chair showed, if not weakness of body, at all events physical indolence.
Some word that fell from Paula prompted him to ask:
'I wonder where Egremont is?'
Annabel, who had been sunk in thought, looked up with a smile. She was about to say something, but her cousin replied rapidly:
'Oh, Mr. Egremont is in London-at least, he was a month ago.'
'Not much of a guarantee that he is there now,' Mr. Newthorpe rejoined.
'I'll drop him a line and see,' said Paula. 'I meant to do so yesterday, but forgot. I'll write and tell him to send me a full account of himself. Isn't it too bad that people don't write to me? Everybody forgets you when you're out of town in the season. Now you'll see I shan't have a single letter again this morning; it is the cruellest thing!'
'But you had a letter yesterday, Paula,' Annabel remarked.
'A letter? Oh, from mamma; that doesn't count. A letter isn't a letter unless you feel anxious to see what's in it. I know exactly all that mamma will say, from beginning to end, before I open the envelope. Not a scrap of news, and with her opportunities, too! But I can count on Mr. Egremont for at least four sides-well, three.'
'But surely he is not a source of news?' said her uncle with surprise.
'Why not? He can be very jolly when he likes, and I know he'll write a nice letter if I ask him to. You can't think how much he's improved just lately. He was down at the Ditchleys' when we were there in February; he and I had ever such a time one day when the others were out hunting. Mamma won't let me hunt; isn't it too bad of her? He didn't speak a single serious word all the morning, and just think how dry he used to be! Of course he can be dry enough still when he gets with people like Mrs. Adams and Clara Carr, but I hope to break him of the habit entirely.'
She glanced at Annabel, and laughed merrily before raising her cup to her lips. Mr. Newthorpe just cast a rapid eye over his daughter's face; Annabel wore a look of quiet amusement.
'Has he been here since then?' Paula inquired, tapping a second egg. 'We lost sight of him for two or three months, and of course he always makes a mystery of his wanderings.'
'We saw him last in October,' her uncle answered, 'when he had just returned from America.'
'He said he was going to Australia next. By-the-by, what's his address? Something, Russell Street. Don't you know?'
'No idea,' he replied, smiling.
'Never mind. I'll send the letter to Mrs. Ormonde; she always knows where he is, and I believe she's the only one that does.'
When the meal came to an end Mr. Newthorpe went, as usual, to his study. Miss Tyrrell, also as usual, prepared for three hours of letter-writing. Annabel, after a brief Consultation with Mrs. Martin, the housekeeper, would ordinarily have sat down to study in the morning room. She laid open a book on the table, but then lingered between that and the windows. At length she took a volume of a lighter kind-in both senses-and, finding her garden hat in the hall, went forth.
She was something less than twenty, and bore herself with grace perchance a little too sober for her years. Her head was wont to droop thoughtfully, and her step measured itself to the grave music of a mind which knew the influence of mountain solitude. But her health was complete; she could row for long stretches, and on occasion fatigued her father in rambles over moor and fell. Face and figure were matched in mature beauty; she had dark hair, braided above the forehead on each side, and large dark eyes which regarded you with a pure intelligence, disconcerting if your word uttered less than sincerity.
When her mother died Annabel was sixteen. Three months after that event Mr. Newthorpe left London for his country house, which neither he nor his daughter had since quitted. He had views of his own on the subject of London life as it affects young ladies. By nature a student, he had wedded a woman who became something not far removed from a fashionable beauty. It was a passionate attachment on both sides at first, and to the end he loved his wife with the love which can deny nothing. The consequence was that the years of his prime were wasted, and the intellectual promise of his youth found no fulfilment. Another year and Annabel would have entered the social mill; she had beauty enough to achieve distinction, and the means of the family were ample to enshrine her. But she never 'came out.' No one would at first believe that Mr. Newthorpe's retreat was final; no one save a close friend or two who understood what his life had been, and how he dreaded for his daughter the temptations which had warped her mother's womanhood. 'In any case,' wrote Mrs. Tyrrell, his sister-in-law, when a year and a half had gone by, 'you will of course let me have Annabel shortly. I pray you to remember that she is turned seventeen. You surely won't deprive her of every pleasure and every advantage?' And the recluse made answer: 'If bolts and shackles were needful I would use them mercilessly rather than allow my girl to enter your Middlesex pandemonium. Happily, the fetters of her reason suffice. She is growing into a woman, and by the blessing of the gods her soul shall be blown through and through with the free air of heaven whilst yet the elements in her are blending to their final shape.' Mrs. Tyrrell raised her eyebrows, and shook her head, and talked sadly of 'poor Annabel,' who was buried alive.
She walked down to a familiar spot by the lake, where a rustic bench was set under shadowing leafage; in front two skiffs were moored on the strand. The sky was billowy with slow-travelling shapes of whiteness; a warm wind broke murmuring wavelets along the pebbly margin. The opposite slopes glassed themselves in the deep dark water-Swarth Fell, Hallin Fell, Place Fell-one after the other; above the southern bend of the lake rose noble summits, softly touched with mist which the sun was fast dispelling. The sweetness of summer was in the air. So quiet was it that every wing-rustle in the brake, every whisper of leaf to leaf, made a distinct small voice; a sheep-dog barking over at Howtown seemed close at hand.
This morning Annabel had no inclination to read, yet her face was not expressive of the calm reflection which was her habit. She opened the book upon her lap and glanced down a page or two, but without interest. At length external things were wholly lost to her, and she gazed across the water with continuance of solemn vision. Her face was almost austere in this mood which had come upon her.
Someone was descending the path which led from the high road; it was a step too heavy for Paula's, too rapid to be Mr. Newthorpe's. Annabel
When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.
His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.
He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.
Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.
turned her head and saw a young man, perhaps of seven-and-twenty, dressed in a light walking-suit, with a small wallet hanging from his shoulder and a stick in his hand. At sight of her he took off his cap and approached her bare-headed.
'I saw from a quarter of a mile away,' he said, 'that someone was sitting here, and I came down on the chance that it might be you.'
She rose with a very slight show of surprise, and returned his greeting with calm friendliness.
'We were speaking of you at breakfast. My cousin couldn't tell us for certain whether you were in England, though she knew you were in London a month ago.'
'Miss Tyrrell is with you?' he asked, as if it were very unexpected.
'But didn't you know? She has been ill, and they sent her to us to recruit.'
'Ah! I have been in Jersey for a month; I have heard nothing.'
'You were able to tear yourself from London in mid-season?'
'But when was I a devotee of the Season, Miss Newthorpe?'
'We hear you progress in civilisation.'
'Well, I hope so. I've had a month of steady reading, and feel better for it. I took a big chest of books to Jersey. But I hope Miss Tyrrell is better?'
'Quite herself again. Shall we walk up to the house?'
'I have broken in upon your reading.'
She exhibited the volume; it was Buskin's 'Sesame and Lilies.'
'Ah! you got it; and like it?'
'On the whole.'
'That is disappointing.'
Annabel was silent, then spoke of another matter as they walked up from the lake.
This Mr. Egremont had not the look of a man who finds his joy in the life of Society. His clean-shaven face was rather bony, and its lines expressed independence of character. His forehead was broad, his eyes glanced quickly and searchingly, or widened themselves into an absent gazing which revealed the imaginative temperament. His habitual cast of countenance was meditative, with a tendency to sadness. In talk he readily became vivacious; his short sentences, delivered with a very clear and conciliating enunciation, seemed to indicate energy. It was a peculiarity that he very rarely smiled, or perhaps I should say that he had the faculty of smiling only with his eyes. At such moments his look was very winning, very frank in its appeal to sympathy, and compelled one to like him. Yet, at another time, his aspect could be shrewdly critical; it was so when Annabel fell short of enthusiasm in speaking of the book he had recommended to her when last at Ullswater. Probably he was not without his share of scepticism. For all that, it was the visage of an idealist.
Annabel led him into the house and to the study door, at which she knocked; then she stood aside for him to enter before her. Mr. Newthorpe was writing; he looked up absently, but light gathered in his eyes as he recognised the visitor.
'So here you are! We talked of you this morning. How have you come?'
'On foot from Pooley Bridge.'
They clasped hands, then Egremont looked behind him; but Annabel had closed the door and was gone.
She went up to the room in which Paula sat scribbling letters.
'Ten minutes more!' exclaimed that young lady. 'I'm just finishing a note to mamma-so dutiful!'
'Have you written to Mr. Egremont?'
Paula nodded and laughed.
'He is downstairs.'
Paula started, looking incredulous.
'Really, Bell?'
'He has just walked over from Pooley Bridge.'
'Oh, Bell, do tell me! Have those horrid measles left any trace? I really can't discover any, but of course one hasn't good eyes for one's own little speckles. Well, at all events, everybody hasn't forgotten me. But do look at me, Bell.'
Her cousin regarded her with conscientious gravity.
'I see no trace whatever; indeed, I should say you are looking better than you ever did.'
'Now that's awfully kind of you. And you don't pay compliments, either. Shall I go down? Did you tell him where I was?'
Had Annabel been disposed to dainty feminine malice, here was an opportunity indeed. But she looked at Paula with simple curiosity, seeming for a moment to lose herself. The other had to repeat her question.
'I mentioned that you were in the house,' she replied. 'He is talking with father.'
Paula moved to the door, but suddenly paused and turned.
'Now I wonder what thought you have in your serious head?' she said, merrily. 'It's only my fun, you know.'
Annabel nodded, smiling.
'But it is only my fun. Say you believe me. I shall be cross with you if you put on that look.'
They went into the morning room. Annabel stood at the window; her companion flitted about, catching glimpses of herself in reflecting surfaces. In five minutes the study door opened, and men's voices drew near.
Egremont met Miss Tyrrell with the manner of an old acquaintance, but unsmiling.
'I am fortunate enough to see you well again without having known of your illness,' he said.
'You didn't know that I was ill?'
Paula looked at him dubiously. He explained, and, in doing so, quite dispelled the girl's illusion that he was come on her account. When she remained silent, he said:
'You must pity the people in London.'
'Certainly I do. I'm learning to keep my temper and to talk wisely. I know nobody in London who could teach me to do either the one or the other.'
'Well, I suppose you'll go out till luncheon-time?' said Mr. Newthorpe. 'Egremont wants to have a pull. You'll excuse an old man.'
They left the house, and for an hour drank the breath of the hillsides. Paula was at first taciturn. Very unlike herself she dabbled her fingers over the boat-side, and any light remark that she made was addressed to her cousin. Annabel exerted herself to converse, chiefly telling of the excursions that had been made with Paula during the past week.
'What have you been doing in Jersey?' Paula asked of Egremont, presently. Her tone was indifferent, a little condescending.
'Reading.'
'Novels?'
'No.'
'And where are you going next?'
'I shall live in London. My travels are over, I think.'
'We have heard that too often,' said Annabel. 'Did you ever calculate how many miles you have travelled since you left Oxford?'
'I have been a restless fellow,' he admitted, regarding her with quiet scrutiny, 'but I dare say some profit has come of my wanderings. However, it's time to set to work.'
'Work!' asked Paula in surprise. 'What sort of work?'
'Local preacher's.'
Paula moved her lips discontentedly.
'That is your way of telling me to mind my own business. Don't you find the sun dreadfully hot, Annabel? Do please row into a shady place, Mr. Egremont.'
His way of handling the oars showed that he was no stranger to exercise of this kind. His frame, though a trifle meagre, was well set. By degrees a preoccupation which had been manifest in him gave way under the influence of the sky, and when it was time to approach the landing-place he had fallen into a mood of cheerful talk-light with Paula, with Annabel more earnest. His eyes often passed from one to the other of the faces opposite him, with unmarked observation; frequently he fixed his gaze on the remoter hills in brief musing.
Mr. Newthorpe had come down to the water to meet them; he had a newspaper in his hand.
'Your friend Dalmaine is eloquent on education,' he said, with a humorous twitching of the eyebrows.
'Yes, he knows his House,' Egremont replied. 'You observe the construction of his speech. After well-sounding periods on the elevation of the working classes, he casually throws out the hint that employers of labour will do wisely to increase the intelligence of their hands in view of foreign competition. Of course that is the root of the matter; but Dalmaine knows better than to begin with crude truths.'
In the meanwhile the boat was drawn up and the chain locked. The girls walked on in advance; Egremont continued to speak of Mr. Dalmaine, a rising politician, whose acquaintance he had made on the voyage home from New York.
'One of the few sincere things I ever heard from his lips was a remark he made on trade-unions. "Let them combine by all means," he said; "it's a fair fight." There you have the man; it seems to him mere common sense to regard his factory hands as his enemies. A fair fight! What a politico-economical idea of fairness!'
He spoke with scorn, his eyes flashing and his nostrils trembling. Mr. Newthorpe kept a quiet smile-sympathetic, yet critical.
Annabel sought her father for a word apart before lunch.
'How long will Mr. Egremont stay?' she asked, apparently speaking in her quality of house-mistress.
'A day or two,' was the reply. 'We'll drive over to Pooley Bridge for his bag this afternoon; he left it at the hotel.'
'What has he on his mind?' she continued, smiling.
'Some idealistic project. He has only given me a hint. I dare say we shall hear all about it to-night.'

It”s a Mystery: Flavia de Luce and other…
It”s a Mystery: Flavia de Luce and other detective series heroes return to entertain readers
By Contra Costa Times Editorial |
Characters in a series can become like old friends whose visits are anticipated and enjoyed.
Flavia is no more than shown her room when a body wrapped in a flag falls out of the chimney. This is not the sort of thing an independent girl with a penchant for homicide can ignore. She proceeds to investigate, creating problems for herself and a few others, but also uncovering some deep secrets.
According to Flavia”s Aunt Felicity, the school is a training ground for a secret society of which she will become a member. It”s all very cloak-and-dagger, early 1950s sort of thing — and not very believable.
Not that Flavia”s fans expect hard-core realism. But still. …
One person dies, and others suffer lingering side effects. The authorities wonder if it was civil disobedience or terrorism.
As Duncan gets to know members of the protest group, he also tries to get to know his new investigative team, which includes a second-in-command with a chip on her shoulder. Gemma has cases of her own. But it turns out Gemma”s assistant was at St. Pancras when the bomb went off, and Duncan”s former assistant is still sidelined by an ankle injury.
As always, the characters have rich personal lives, and their interaction makes the story more nuanced and compelling.
So it”s an unusual and intriguing case that also involves Lenox”s longtime quiet crusade against the venial Marquess of Wakefield. The clues are cryptic — an unlaced boot and a luggage ticket are among them.
In addition to the case, one of the best things about this series is that Lenox has a full, rich home life. His experiences as a new father color his attitude in a way that is very believable and not often seen in period fiction.
Assisted by his friend Dallington as well as the police, Lenox unravels the threads to a satisfying conclusion.
The people who run the place are more than a little off-putting. And Dandy”s husband, Hugh, who resists change, is not a happy camper.
What makes this story particularly compelling is that it is set in October 1929. Readers know what the characters don”t: that the end of month will see the start of the Great Depression. The pace is rather slow, but there”s plenty of detail to enjoy along the way.

A proud moment as some former general workers, now working as bricklayers and supervisors, hold their certificates of participation handed to them by mayor, Alderman Harry Levendal (front centre), also holding a certificate during a lighthearted moment. Also in the photograph are members of Shama Consulting and municipal officials.
MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The new financial year's Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) sidewalk project celebrated a new milestone this week.
The sidewalk project, now in its third year, grew substantially from taking in 27 unemployed people to now offering hope and dignity to 54 members of the community.
On Wednesday, 10 July, participants from previous years received their certificates, while the new intake was inducted at a ceremony in Extension 23's Indoor Sport Centre.
The programme aims to build sidewalks in different wards, focusing on areas such as KwaNonqaba, but in fact it is extended to the greater Mossel Bay area.
The focus is to create job opportunities by involving community members in providing municipal services to themselves, while they are being compensated for their labour. In doing so, community members participating in the programme supply manual labour while also undergoing in-service training. At the end of their employment, they are able to offer their newly acquired skills in the job market.
Shama Consultants, structural and civil engineers, are part of the programme, as implementing agents, conducting planning, construction management, resource management, providing day to day training, supervision and overall project and budget management on 11 different sites throughout the municipality each financial year.
According to Dawie Gerrits from Shama Consulting, the aim is to steadily grow the sidewalk programme to become a total upliftment project to allow those who participate to be duly proud of the areas they work and live in.
Gerrits says there is a strong drive towards offering employment to women, forced to be the breadwinners in their families.
Aphiwe Tokwana is such a woman. She is now a supervisor in the programme, where she initially started as a general worker.
Tokwana is the mother of three children aged seven, 12 and 13. She says the sidewalk programme means a lot to her.
"It feels great to now work as a supervisor." She says that despite the fact that there are many men in the team, she has no problem gaining respect.
Shaun Cloete, now also a supervisor, says he greatly enjoys having learnt new skills. Cloete was laid off after the company he worked for lost its contract with PetroSA. The sidewalk programme to him, was a Godsend.
The executive mayor of Mossel Bay, Alderman Harry Levendal, attended the event on Wednesday and handed over the certificates to each participant, commending them on their participation.

Home Insurance Insurance advice 2015 October
Top Five Litre Sportsbike Insurance Bargains
We’ve researched insurance costs for the most popular litre sportsbikes on MCN Compare to bring you the cheapest five models to insure. MCN Compare brings together top insurance brokers to make sure you aren’t paying over the odds to insure your bike. Here are the top five insurance bargains…
1. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (2004-2005)
The Kawasaki ZX-10R is sold as the ultimate track bike – the 2004/05 ZX-10R was one of Kawasaki’s first machines after the firm gave itself a kick up the arse in 2002. The 10R’s one wild ride and an absolute weapon in experienced hands. It’s light, makes massive power and handles superbly on the track –a bit of a handful on the road though.
Quote: £108.29 Total Excess: £650 Model quoted: 2004 (value £3575)
2. Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade (2004-2005)
Cold, calm and supremely effective – the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade is like The Terminator. It is an exceptional sports bike that’s blisteringly fast on the road or track.
3. Aprilia RSV 1000 Millie (1998-2003)
Why buy a Ducati when you could have an Aprilia RSV1000 Mille? OK, the name may not be as famous, but the Mille is a superb superbike with a surprisingly reasonable price tag. Looks are distinctive; reliability is pretty good it’s just unfortunate that dealer back up can be patchy.
4. Suzuki GSXR 1000 (2005-2006)
Its now one of the more revered litre sportsbikes to own and seen by many as the pinnacle of the pure thoroughbreds, the last of the 1000’s before Euro regulations started interfering. Lithe ergonomics and handling, radical styling and full-on usable power make this bike simply sublime.
5. Yamaha YZF-R1 (1998-2003)
The original R1 was the third and final great sports bike of the nineties. The FireBlade set the agenda, the 916 added finesse and the Yamaha YZF-R1 topped them off with extra power and madness.
All quotes shown are for a fictitious 45-year-old retail manager from East Yorkshire who has been riding since 1997 and has five years no-claims bonus. Quotes are for comprehensive cover for social, domestic and pleasure use only with an annual mileage of 3000-3999 miles. The bike is stored in a locked garage and protected by an approved chain and Datatag marking kit. Prices sourced in July 2015. The only changes made between searches are to the identity of the bike and its value.

The Ute tribe would travel to the site of Pagosa Springs to bathe in the waters, to which they attributed vast healing powers, especially for stomach ailments, rheumatism, and skin disorders. They called the spring Pah Gosah, which means Water with a Bad Smell, referring to the strong sulfur content of the water. The spring is now considered to be the deepest and hottest natural spring in the world and is highly mineralized with over 3.600 parts per million of sulfated residues.
A 1790 French expedition first found gold on Treasure Mountain, near the site where the town of Pagosa Springs would one day stand. Captain J. N. McComb led an expedition to the region in 1859 and produced the first map of this area. J. S. Newberry, a geologist accompanying McComb's expedition wrote that the local spring was "well known, even famous, among the Indian tribes. There is scarcely a more beautiful place on the face of the earth."
Fort Lewis was built in 1878 to administer the ongoing hostilities with the Ute tribe. A town site around the springs was established to provide winter habitation for various travelers, settlers, and miners in the area. By 1885, land lots were being auctioned off in Pagosa Springs and the building began on the long block of downtown, which faces the river. By 1891, the incorporated town was thriving with an economy based on lumbering, coal mining, and ranching.
A 31-mile railroad was completed in 1900, but the line was abandoned in 1936. The town suffered through the Depression and barely survived until 1950, when the Giordano family purchased the Spa at Pagosa Springs and began a hearty expansion, drawing hundreds, then thousands, of tourists to enjoy the therapeutic mineral waters. Other area attractions include the Wolf Creek Ski Area, as well as superb golf opportunities. Summer time is truly a wonder as the high mountains to the north and east create a rain shadow effect, so it is blessed with an unusually mild climate for the altitude.
The area's popularity as a tourist haven is marked by the fact that the majority of the residences in the town with a population of 1,600 and the surrounding county of Archuleta of over 12,000 are second homes, owned by people who have primary residences elsewhere.

DARK CRYSTAL, THE (1982) 1222 JIM HENSON and FRANK OZ Art by RICHARD AMSEL
Original Universal Pictures One-Sheet Poster for the film THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982). This poster is a folded one-sheet and it is in very fine condition. Very nice condition, indeed. The movie was co-directed by Muppetmaster Jim Henson and Britisher Frank Oz. The film was much anticipated before its release, but was released to rather mixed results. Over time, however, fans of fantasy films have come to regard it very fondly. The two collaborators would go on to make another film, a legendary one, LABYRINTH (1985). The poster features art by Richard Amsel, one of the great geniuses of illustration from that period. MovieArt Austin guarantees this one-sheet poster to be the authentic U.S. poster for this movie. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions.

Salba-chia
Chia may have some nutritional benefits, but evidence on specific clinical benefits is very limited.
The seeds of the chia plant are rich in fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and alpha-linolenic acid, a type of essential fatty acid. They are thought to be useful for reducing risk of heart disease and as an aid in weight management. Data from a few small studies suggest that chia seeds may be helpful for patients with diabetes or help contribute to feelings of fullness, but chia did not appear to affect weight loss. In addition, reviews of the current evidence do not adequately support these claims. Larger well-designed trials are needed.
Purported Uses
Most studies of chia’s effects on heart disease risk have not shown meaningful results.
Results from a clinical trial showed that chia did not affect weight loss. More studies are needed.
Patient Warnings
Never consume dry chia seeds on their own, as they can absorb up to 27 times their weight in water. This may cause them to expand and become lodged in the throat. Chia seeds should be prepared or mixed with enough liquid to allow them to expand before eating.
Do Not Take If
You are taking blood pressure medications: Chia seeds may increase the adverse effects of these drugs.
You have swallowing problems: Use chia seeds with caution, and never use dry chia seeds alone which may expand once in contact with a liquid, such as saliva or water.
You are allergen-sensitive: Use chia seeds with caution, as there have been case reports of allergic reactions.
Small studies suggest chia is well tolerated when properly used.
Throat blockage: In a 39-year-old man who received emergency treatment to remove chia seeds that had expanded in his throat.
Allergic reaction: In a 54-year-old man with previous history of rhinitis and asthma. He experienced rapid facial swelling, rash, shortness of breath, and dizziness that required emergency treatment after a few days of eating chia seeds to lower cholesterol levels.
Allergic skin reaction: In a 46-year-old man with a history of other allergies. Eczema and itchy lesions on his hands occurred after starting to add chia seeds to his morning yogurt, and disappeared when he stopped eating them.

Salvia hispanica
Clinical Summary
The chia plant is native to Central and South America and the seeds it produces have been consumed as food since ancient times. They are high in dietary fiber, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and alpha-linolenic acid, and are marketed as dietary supplements for cardiovascular health and weight loss. The seeds can expand and turn into a gel-like substance when mixed with water, and are often found in a variety of packaged goods touted as functional foods or superfoods.
Various laboratory analyses suggest that chia constituents have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antithrombotic activities (8). In vivo experiments suggest that dietary consumption of chia seeds may improve animal intestinal health (21). In animal studies, chia prevented onset of dyslipidemia (1) (6), reversed insulin resistance (1) (9) (10), and conferred cardio- and hepatoprotective effects (7) (22). However, it did not reduce body weight gain or abdominal fat accumulation (10), or have preventive effects in animal tumor models (23).
In preliminary clinical studies, chia did not benefit overweight adults (3), but appeared to improve cardiovascular and obesity-related risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes (4) (24). Other small studies suggest chia supplementation may increase short-term satiety (25), perhaps to a greater extent than flax (26), and has positive effects on blood glucose levels (11) (12). Chia flour supplementation was found to reduce blood pressure in both treated and untreated hypertensive subjects (13). However, a systematic review determined that most studies on chia for CVD risk factors did not demonstrate statistically significant results (14). In addition, a meta-analysis of trials evaluating chia for various metabolic parameters determined that results were largely nonsignificant and modest at best for a few subgroup measures, while citing low quality of evidence (27).
More research is needed to elucidate and validate health benefits with chia supplementation. Rare adverse or allergic reactions have been reported.
Active compounds in chia include essential fatty acids, flavonols, and phenolic compounds, some of which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antithrombotic activities (8) (17). Protein content of chia is higher than that of most traditional grains (18). The main protein fractions extracted from chia seed flour were globulins, with globulin peptides demonstrating homology to sesame proteins, and essential amino acids, especially methionine and cysteine (19).
In animal models, chia seed reversed impaired insulin stimulated glycogen synthase activity, glycogen, glucose-6-phosphate and GLUT-4 protein levels as well as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia (9).
Decreases in postprandial glycemia with chia supplementation may explain improvements in blood pressure, coagulation, and inflammatory markers observed in patients with type II diabetes (4) (11).
IgE-mediated anaphylaxis by chia seeds appeared to be caused by water- and lipo-soluble allergens including a lectin, an elongation factor, and an 11S globulin (18).
Never consume dry chia seeds on their own, as they can absorb up to 27 times their weight in water. This may cause them to expand and become lodged in the esophagus. Chia seeds should be prepared or mixed with sufficient amounts of liquid to allow them to expand before consumption (20).
Patients with any history of swallowing problems should use chia seeds with caution due to absorption interactions with liquid, causing them to expand (20).
Adverse Reactions
Small studies suggest chia is well tolerated when properly used (4).
Blocked esophagus: In a 39-year-old man who received emergency treatment to remove chia seeds from the esophagus. The cause of the blockage was the ingestion of no more than 1 tablespoon of dry chia seeds followed by a glass of water (20).
Anaphylactic reaction: In a 54-year-old man with previous diagnosis of rhinitis and asthma, after a few days of consuming chia seeds to lower cholesterol levels. Symptoms included pruritus in his mouth, generalized urticaria, facial angioedema, shortness of breath, and dizziness, requiring emergency treatment (18).
IgE-mediated allergic dermatitis: In a 46-year-old man with a history of allergic rhinitis and sensitization to mites/pollens. The appearance of eczema and itchy lesions on his hands coincided with the addition of chia seeds in his daily morning yogurt, and disappeared spontaneously when he stopped eating them (28).
Herb-Drug Interactions
Antihypertensive medications: Chia supplementation may have additive effects, as the use of chia flour reduced blood pressure in both treated and untreated hypertensive individuals (13) .
Herb Lab Interactions
High amounts of n-3 PUFAs could lead to altered bleeding and clotting times (5) .
May reduce blood sugar levels (11) (12).

Once More, NYTimes Dubiously Defends Obama's 'You Didn't Build That' as 'Taken Out of Context'
By Clay Waters | September 11, 2012 1:53 PM EDT
New York Times White House reporter Jackie Calmes filed from Charlotte on Saturday after the Democratic National Convention had passed, "Democrats Face a Juggling Act Over Jobs."
Surprisingly, Obama loyalist Calmes discerned political problems in the president's anti-business rhetoric. More predictably, she defended Obama's anti-entrepreneurship remark "you didn't build that," accusing the GOP of taking it out of context, even though the context does not save Obama from the charge of showing hostility to enterprise and individual initiative.
The challenge for the campaign was to counter Republican attacks at their Tampa, Fla., convention depicting Mr. Obama as the enemy of job creators when unemployment persists, while energizing his liberal base in the convention hall and beyond. The delicate juggling was most evident on Wednesday, during the brief daily window of network television coverage.
To the chagrin of moderate Democrats, a prime-time speaker was Elizabeth Warren, the liberal scourge of Wall Street who is running in Massachusetts to unseat Senator Scott P. Brown, a Republican. Her scheduling slot reflected Democrats’ zeal to capture that seat and protect their slim Senate majority.
But as the schedulers arranged, she followed James D. Sinegal, the well-known co-founder of Costco. He was among several speakers from the business world chosen to affirm Mr. Obama’s philosophy that the private sector needs the hand of government to educate a work force, build roads, finance research and more. That sought to counter a Republican convention theme, based on an Obama quote taken out of context, that the president recently said of businesses, “you didn’t build that.”
Sigh. As Times Watch has stated before (whenever someone on the paper's roster of objective reporters feels duty bound to defend Obama from Republican attacks) the precious "context" they seek doesn't help Obama dodge the charge of being anti-business. Here's the full quote, context in all, of what Obama said during a speech in Roanoke, Va.:
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
Also on Saturday, political reporter Michael Barbaro led off a story on Clint Eastwood's speech introducing Mitt Romney with an overheated description:
Clint Eastwood said the idea for the most controversial convention speech in a generation came to him in the green room off stage, just after he greeted Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, the country’s most influential Roman Catholic bishop.

PUC staff agrees with CMP on billing problems, suggests rate hike
Judith Hyde is an administrator of the group and said she and others are disappointed, though not surprised by the report.
Author: Don Carrigan
HALLOWELL, Maine — Thousands of Central Maine Power customers—and the state’s Public Advocate— said they are not happy after the staff of the Public Utilities Commission agreed with CMP that its metering and billing systems are accurate, that cold weather and higher electric rates caused a spike in bills two years ago, and that CMP should get a rate increase, although a much smaller one than it wants.
The PUC staff issued its report and recommendations late Thursday afternoon. They are just recommendations, and the actual decision will be made by the three PUC Commissioners. Those deliberations are scheduled for the end of this month.
The billing problems arose in January 2018 and ultimately led to nearly 100,000 complaints to the PUC or Public Advocate, according to those state officials.
A number of unhappy customers banded together to form a Facebook group called CMP Ratepayers Unite. Judith Hyde of Pownal is an administrator of the group and said Thursday she and others are disappointed, though not surprised by the PUC staff report.
“This has gone on over two years and these bills are still coming.,” she said. “If you look on ratepayers every day, there are people say I just got this new bill I don’t understand it I’ve gotten two bills in a month or I got a disconnect notice and I’ve been disputing my bill what is this?”
The staff recommendations include requiring CMP to create an independent audit system to streamline the handling of customer bill complaints, as well as another independent review of the “SmartCare” billing system, which went online shortly before the problems began.
The staff also recommends the Central Maine Power get a $20 million rate increase, about half of what the company is asking for.
Maine Public Advocate Barry Hobbins, who has been a harsh critic of CMP in the case, told NEWS CENTER Maine he is very disappointed by the report and will fight the recommendations. Hobbins says he will try to persuade the commissioners to delay any rate increase until all the remaining reviews are finished, and not until a law.

Idea becomes a reality for inventive East Brunswick third-grader
Updated Mar 30, 2019; Posted Jun 20, 2012
By Christina Giannantonio|The Star-Ledger
Joshua Yi looks at a prototype of his zero-waste toy package with Steve Mahler of Caraustar, a recycled paperboard manufacturer, and Laura Tufariello of Design and Source.
EAST BRUNSWICK — To Joshua Yi, a third-grader at Warnsdorfer Elementary School, the package a new toy comes in should be as important as the toy itself.
That thinking helped Joshua become the grand prize winner in the fourth annual Kids' Science Challenge in the Zero Waste category.
The Kids' Science Challenge is a nationwide competition for students in grades 3 to 6 created by Jim Metzner, producer of the Pulse of the Planet radio series, and funded by the National Science Foundation. The competition challenges students to submit ideas for experiments and problems for scientists to solve.
Joshua entered in the Zero Waste Category and submitted two designs for packaging toys in boxes that could become part of the toy instead of going in the garbage. One of Joshua’s designs was chosen from 1,400 submissions in that category. His classmate, third-grader Benjamin Hong, earned third place in the same category.
As grand prize winner, last month Joshua worked with scientists and designers at Design and Source in New York City, a company that designs and produces eco-friendly packaging, to help his idea come to fruition. He also visited the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and was treated to a VIP tour of the city.

T-Mobile goes where no operator has gone before
by Rob Balconi
This blog is by Robert Balconi at Nokia Networks. Twitter: @duluozional
T-Mobile is breaking the rules. Its Un-carrier campaign continues to redefine how an operator relates to its customers. No more contracts, no more data limit plans and no more roaming charges – these are just some of the ways the American operator is disrupting the industry.
We recently had the chance to sit down with Dave Mayo, SVP Technology at T-Mobile, to learn more about the latest developments in the Un-carrier campaign and how Nokia Networks is helping realize the operator’s vision.
Dave Mayo says:
“The campaign is all about solving customer pain points. We want to be famous for changing wireless for the better. We are really happy with the way it’s going - and we’re not done yet!”
The results speak for themselves. The operator added 1.8 million net users in the first quarter this year, its eighth successive quarter of adding more than a million users. Its brash approach has seen it break company records for post-paid churn at only 1.3% as well as achieve the fastest average 4G LTE download speeds in the US.
Continuing, he says:
“The network is fundamental to the Un-carrier approach. Had we not developed a data-strong network, we could not have developed and rolled out Un-carrier. It would have been hard to solve customer pain points without the fastest LTE network in the country. Nokia has done a phenomenal job for us, both in helping us roll out the network modernization program and deploying LTE. We are looking forward to rolling out more of the network with Nokia Networks this year as we strive to achieve our target of LTE coverage for 300 million people.”
But it’s not only in terms of its approach to serving customers that T-Mobile is taking a bold step. The company is also moving into new territory by pioneering unlicensed LTE spectrum by using LTE to aggregate unlicensed and licensed bands. The licensed bands would provide reliable connectivity and mobility, while unlicensed bands deliver more capacity and higher data rates for more thrilling end-user services. Called License Assisted Access (LAA), the initial focus is on using the 5 GHz unlicensed band. The technology, however, is suitable for any unlicensed frequency. T- Mobile is working with Nokia Networks to accelerate LAA deployment by developing a pre-standard solution.
Mark McDiarmid, Vice President of Radio Network Engineering, T-Mobile explains:
“We want to stay at the forefront. T-Mobile has successfully deployed Wi-Fi based services for many years, and as such, we have expert knowledge of using unlicensed spectrum. We see LAA as an evolution of that focus. Nokia Networks is traditionally a pioneer in radio technologies and we are working closely with the company to further develop LAA solutions. We have had tremendous success with Nokia Networks in LTE and before that with GSM and 3G, so we are continuing the relationship. The company takes a highly pragmatic approach that is very welcome.”

About Rob Balconi
Rob Balconi is responsible for Account Marketing in the T-Mobile Customer Business Team.

Treatment of corneal surface opacity
The intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) are a type of corneal implant used for correcting refractive errors, and specifically for low myopia, which due to higher costs is used much less frequently than LASIK and laser procedures. Perhaps the most important use of intracorneal ring segments is for patients with mild to moderate keratoconus with clear and thick enough corneas. In patients with keratoconus, the cornea is not naturally aspirated; therefore, performing LASIK or laser procedures in order to correct refractive errors is forbidden for these patients, but intracorneal ring segments can improve vision with or without glasses in these patients and reduce the severity of the disease.Tehran Noor Eye Hospital was the first ophthalmic center in Iran to provide this type of medical services.
Treatment Procedure
Advantages of ICRS
Possible Post-Operative Complications
The implantation of intracorneal ring segments is an outpatient procedure performed in two steps, using local anesthetic eye drops. In the first stage, using the appropriate instruments, a radial incision is made in the peripheral cornea, through which two concentric semi-circular tunnels are created in the cornea. Then in the second step, the ring segments with the calculated thickness are implanted in these tunnels. After the surgery, eye drops are prescribed for one to several weeks. In the first few days after the surgery, the eye is sensitive to light, and it's recommended to use sunglasses. Postoperative restrictions only include touching and rubbing the cornea and heavy physical activities in the first 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
It should be noted that these ring segments are made of a special plastic called PMMA which is compatible with the cornea. Interestingly, the material has been used to make intraocular lenses in the past 50 years and is fully compatible with the eye tissue, so it does not cause inflammation.
In Tehran-Iran Noor Eye Hospital, during the surgical procedure of orneal ring implantation two rings are usually placed on the two sides of the cornea. Each ring is a 150° arc and 0.8 millimeters in width. Correcting refractive errors in the patient depends on the thickness of the segments, varying from 0.25 to 0.45 mm.
This technique is not applicable for patients with myopia greater than one diopter. However, it is effective in patients with keratoconus who usually suffer from astigmatism as well.
The main three advantages of Intracorneal Ring Segments are as follows:
1. High accuracy in correcting myopia, at least equal to that of LASIK surgery. According to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) study, the postoperative outcomes have been observed: in 55% of the patients visual acuity was improved more than 16/20 after 2 years, in 75% of the patients more than 20/20, in 91% of the patients more than 25/20 and in 95% of the patients visual acuity was improved more than 40/20.
2. No tissue changes in the central cornea and maintaining the normal corneal shape
3. The ability to revert to preoperative status in case of removing intracorneal ring segments.
Note: In ICRS implantation, there is no need for complicated microkeratome and laser technologies such as those used in LASIK, and in this regard, it is considered as a special treatment in the developing countries.
Note: The results of the surgery are different in patients with keratoconus and myopia. Implanting ring segments improves visual acuity by two lines on average in 50% of patients, although some patients may achieve more improvement. In fact, in patients with keratoconus who don’t have a good vision with glasses before the surgery, ICRS implantation reduces corneal irregularities that along with new prescription eyeglasses results in a better vision.
Limitations of ICRS Implantation
The only present problem with the implantation of intracorneal ring segments is its limited range of patients who are proper candidates for this procedure. In other words, patients with myopia from -1 to -4.5 diopters and a maximum astigmatism of 1 diopter can be treated with this technique.
Other Uses of ICRS Implantation are as follows:
-The correction of residual refractive errors after LASIK
-The correction of keratoconus More guides and complete information are provided for patients by the eye care team of Tehran Noor Eye Hospital in Iran.
Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, connective tissue diseases, autoimmune or immunodeficiency diseases as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, patients with recurrent corneal erosion or corneal dystrophies, and those taking medications such as Accutane (for curing acnes), amiodarone (for heart disease) and sumatriptan (for treatment of migraines) are the subjects of contraindications to intracorneal ring segments implantation. Inform your ophthalmologist before the surgery in case of taking any medications.
Although the surgical procedure of ICRS has been approved by FDA, it should be noted that similar to other refractive surgical procedures, there might be some complications as a result:
-Postoperative infections: 0.2%
-An increased astigmatism, hypo or hyper-correction: 3.7%
-Corneal neovascularization: 1.2%
-Halos and glares especially at night: 1-3%
-Light sensitivity: less than 1%
-Night vision difficulty: 4.3%
-Keratic precipitates around the ring: usually asymptomatic
Note: No vision threatening complications have been observed within the one-year follow-up period after ICRS implantation.

Can you expect a best-corrected vision after refractive surgical procedures?
Can the patients keep doing their sports activities after intracorneal ring implantation?
-How long does the surgical procedure of intraocular ring implantation take?
This procedure takes around 15 minutes for each eye.
-Is the surgical procedure of intracorneal ring implantation painful?
No. Using local anesthetic drops, the surgery is painless. However, burning eyes, foreign body sensation and watery eyes are expected in the first hours and days after the surgery which can be controlled by taking prescribed medications.
-Can the surgery be performed on both eyes simultaneously?
Yes, the studies have shown that the risk of developing postoperative complications in the surgical procedure that is performing simultaneously on both eyes is not higher than the surgical procedure that is performing just on one eye.
-What are the postoperative limitations ?
The patient should avoid rubbing the eye in the first 6 months after surgery. During the first several weeks after surgery, care should be taken regarding the eye’s health and protecting it against impacts and infections. Eye shields should be worn while sleeping. The patients should not wear makeup at least for one week and has to keep materials like spray or shampoo out of their eyes for several weeks. Contact lenses should not be worn in the first few weeks, either.
-Can you expect a best-corrected vision after refractive surgical procedures?
In most refractive surgical procedures, 100% correction and 20/20 normal vision without wearing glasses cannot be expected. So, if you have such expectations, do not undergo this surgery. Do not expect a vision better than your current glasses or lenses could provide. You should know that if your glasses or lens prescriptions are determined correctly, there would be a very low chance that your vision improves after the surgery. If you have amblyopia (lazy eye), you should not expect to be treated using these methods.
-Can the patients keep doing their sports activities after intracorneal ring implantation?
Moderate sports activities such as running, walking, or common exercise don’t cause any problems, but lifting objects heavier than 7.5kg should be avoided.

Focus again shifts to QBs in USC spring game
SportsCollege Sports
By Michael Lev and Staff Writers | Orange County Register
USC coach Lane Kiffin has three goals for the team’s spring game Saturday at the Coliseum:
1) Stay healthy; 2) check out the younger players in a game-like atmosphere; and 3) monitor the progress of the backup quarterbacks.
The third item on that list is the one of greatest interest to Trojans fans.
Redshirt freshmen Cody Kessler and Max Wittek are locked in a tight duel to back up Matt Barkley this season — and eventually succeed him. The spring game, which kicks off at 1:30 p.m., provides the latest test of their readiness.
What is Kiffin looking for out of Kessler and Wittek?
“Same as always,” Kiffin said. “Great decision-making, command of the huddle.”
Kiffin will pay especially close attention to Kessler and Wittek’s handling of the huddle because the coach will be signaling in the plays from the sideline. “That will be another step for them,” Kiffin said.
Kessler and Wittek (Mater Dei High) barely played in last year’s spring game. This time will be different. Barkley will play only “a little bit,” Kiffin said, and the other potential backup, Jesse Scroggins, is injured.
In some ways the spring game is just another practice; the Trojans won’t even tackle. For Kessler and Wittek, it’s something bigger.
“It’s a game environment with a larger crowd there, a lot more people,” Wittek said. “It’s something the fans look to to get excited about the upcoming season and the future of USC football. So I guess it has a little bit more implications.”
Tickets to the spring game are $10. Children 12 and under are free. Parking is $15.
The Coliseum gates are set to open at 12:30 p.m. The parking lots open at 8 a.m.
USC players and coaches will be available on the field for postgame autographs. There will be a kids’ fun zone behind the east end zone.

After six days and more than 2,600 acres burned, the Canyon Fire along the border of Riverside and Orange counties was 95 percent contained on Sunday night, according to fire officials.
“The fire hasn’t grown in a few days, and now the firefighters are just mopping up and making sure all the hot spots are extinguished,” Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said. “It’s not 100 percent contained until we have a line all around it, and it’s just steep, rugged terrain.”
The blaze, which ignited Monday afternoon near the 91 freeway between Corona and Anaheim, has led firefighters into the hills and mountains of the Cleveland National Forest.
At one point, the fire required 195 engines, 12 helicopters, five air tankers,18 dozers and 1,910 personnel to fight it. By Sunday, 186 personnel and 12 engines were battling the fire.
The Forest Service’s Burned Area Emergency Response arrived Saturday to help stabilize the roads and slopes of the burned area so they don’t erode when it rains.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The fire damaged four homes, a commercial building, and another outbuilding, and threatened 1,900 structures at its peak. Residents in neighboring communities were ordered to evacuate, but those orders were lifted Wednesday.

Men-of-War Plague South Florida Beaches
Alanna Barrett · February 14, 2019
Palm Beach County’s beaches flew purple flags on Tuesday to warn beachgoers of the presence of dangerous marine life—in this case, stinging pests known as Portuguese men-of-war, as first reported by the Palm Beach Daily News.
Portuguese men-of-war get their name from the battleship-shaped balloon that keeps them afloat. The creatures freckled the shore from Boca Raton to Jupiter following days of easterly winds that pushed the men-of-war onto the beach.
Although men-of-war are a common occurrence during winter months, some beachgoers were unfamiliar with the creatures, which range in size from that of a fist to that of a football.
“We knew enough to stay away from then,” said Nicole Boltiansky, a Toronto resident who saw men-of-war for the first time Tuesday during a visit to Juno Beach. “We assumed they were jellyfish.”
Men-of-war are often confused with jellyfish, but are in fact siphonophores, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A siphonophore is composed of different organisms with various functions all working together as one.
Serious reactions to men-of-war stings are rare. However, tentacles complete with coiled, barbed tubes can stretch as far as 100 feet from balloon. If these tentacles get wrapped around person, they can stick to the skin, causing red welts, swollen lymph nodes, and nausea.
“People come up and they still have a purple blob stuck to their arm and you got to get that off,” said Craig Pollock, supervisor of lifeguards for the town of Palm Beach.
If stung, the Florida Poison Control Center recommends washing the affected area with vinegar, sea water, or alcohol. Lifeguards also suggested hot and cold compresses and even meat tenderizer. However, Pollock said that unfortunately there’s “no magic pill to make the pain stop.”
“You kind of just have to deal with the effects,” he said.
Related >>> Midtown Beach Erosion Solution Delayed
Palm Beach County ocean rescue supervisor Julia Lea, based in Juno Beach, said that there have been no severe stings reported in the past week in north county. This may be because rough waves have kept most leisurely swimmers on the beach.
Tentacles can still cause stings after being broken apart in rough surf or even after the man-of-war washes ashore and dies.
The cold front that moved through South Florida Wednesday turned the winds westerly, helping to blow the men of war out to sea.
“As soon as it turns east again, they’ll be back,” Leo said.

FLOTUS Defends Trump After "Morning Joe" Controversy
Melania Trump is defending her husband after he posted controversial comments on social media aimed at MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski.
President Donald Trump once again outraged many people across the country on June 29 when he referred to Brzezinski as "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" on Twitter, Heatstreet reports.
"I heard poorly rated ['Morning Joe'] speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore)," the president tweeted. "Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came…"
"To Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me," he continued in a second tweet. "She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!"
Despite Melania Trump's vow to fight cyber bullying, the first lady stood by her husband.
"As the first lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder," a statement from the first lady’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said.
When specifically asked how her husband's remarks conflicted with her promise to fight bullying, the first lady remained undeterred.
"[Melania is] continuing to be thoughtful about her platform," Grisham responded.
At the same time, the White House also defended Trump's comments.
"This is a president who fights fire with fire," said deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, adding that Trump refuses to be "bullied," CNN reports.
While Melania and Sanders have stood behind Trump, some of the president's political allies have spoken out against his remarks.
"Obviously, I don’t see that as an appropriate comment," said the House Speaker, Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, The Washington Post reports. "What we’re trying to do around here is improve the civility and tone of the debate, and this obviously does not do that."
Other conservative politicians expressed similar sentiments.
"Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America," tweeted Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Even Trump-friendly Fox News host Megan McCain was appalled.
"I do not think making fun of a woman's looks is acceptable," she tweeted. "I get it every day of my life. I think that tweet is cruel -- and unpresidential."
Meanwhile, various other media outlets are up in arms, calling the remarks sexist.
"It’s a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job," responded MSNBC.
"This is bullying, plain and simple," writes Chris Cillizza, CNN's editor-at-large. "And, it's bullying by a powerful man against a woman because of her looks. He also attacked her intelligence and her sanity. Condemning Trump for this should not be a political decision. It should be a moral one."

Grant High School unveils new turf field, track after 12 years of work
Grant High School new turf field and track
Gallery: Grant High School new turf field and track
By Casey Parks | The Oregonian/OregonLive
Lloyd and Judy Lindley began work to bring a turf field to Grant High School when their son was in fifth grade. He’s 25 and a college graduate now. Twelve years after the couple began their crusade, city and Nike leaders unveiled the new field and track Friday.
In the old days, the days when the Lindleys first hatched their plan,
Grant Generals
games often rained out. At the time, Jesuit High School was leading the charge to convert high school fields from grass to turf. As Grant’s project timeline stretched into a decade, the Generals have rented out Jeld-Wen Field for some home games.
The project looked hopeless even last year, said City Commissioner Nick Fish.
“Not every path is straight,” he said. “Not everything we do is easy.”
But the community and big names came together to raise the nearly $2 million needed for the project. Detroit Lions player Ndamukong Suh, a former Grant High School football star, donated $250,000 toward the effort. Nike, which has donated to help rebuild five PPS fields, gave $350,000. Portland Public Schools contributed over $650,000 to the new track. The
Friends of Grant
raised nearly $317,000, PPS and the Great Fields project gave nearly $392,000,
donated $400,000 from its System Developer Charges paid by developers, and $52,000 from sports user fees.
The crowd still hoped for future improvements. Stadium lights and an electronic scoreboard were scrapped because of neighbor concern.
For the day -- as rap music blared and teenagers bounced on the sidelines -- only one thing mattered. The neighborhood has about 4,000 youth athletes. The sky hinted at rain, but the football team was lining up to play on its own field.
“The kids who play here are going to know their community invested in their future,” said City Commissioner Amanda Fritz.
As a Nike executive handed out footballs to Fritz and Superintendent Carole Smith, two young boys played a game of catch on the new field. Timon Davis, a fifth grader at King School, tossed the ball to Marcus Harris, a seventh grader at King.
When Davis dashed to tackle Harris, he was already dreaming of the day he’d play there for real.

Popeye had the right idea – spinach does make you stronger
By Emma Hilton, writer at Nutritionist Resource
Published on February 3rd, 2011
Our favourite cartoon sailor was right all along- according to recent research spinach really does make you stronger, though its not the iron which does the trick it is the nitrates that are responsible.
A team of Swedish scientists have found that nitrates, which are present in a variety of green, leafy vegetables are able to provide us with energy.
Up until fairly recently it was thought that nitrates had little nutritional value. However, scientists have now found that a single helping of spinach can increase the efficiency of mitochondria, which fuel cell activity and growth.
After taking a small dose of inorganic nitrate for three days, the participants in the study consumed less oxygen whilst riding an exercise bike. According to the scientists whose research has been published in the journal Cell Metabolism, this effect is caused by the nitrates making mitochondria less ‘leaky’ subsequently increasing their efficiency.
Professor Eddie Weitzberg from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm was lead researcher of the study, and said: ‘We know that diets rich in fruit and vegetables can help prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but the active nutrients haven’t been clear. This shows inorganic nitrate as a candidate to explain those benefits.’

The Florian Habicht Collection
Florian Habicht first won attention for 2003's Woodenhead, a fairytale about a rubbish dump worker and a princess. By then Habicht had already made his first feature-length documentary. Many more docos have followed: films that celebrate his love for people, and sometimes drift into fantasy. In this collection, watch as the idiosyncratic director meets fishermen, Kaikohe demolition derby drivers (both watchable in full), legends of Kiwi theatre and British pop, and beautiful women carrying slices of cake through New York. Ian Pryor writes here about the joys of Florian Habicht.
Contact - They Shoot Commercials, don't they?
This Contact episode goes behind the scenes on a big budget commercial from the early days of the Kiwi film renaissance: a 1982 Crunchie bar ad which owes so much to Star Wars, the film crew even call their villain Darth. After 12 hour days working inside the Waitomo Caves, a move to Ninety Mile Beach sees the weather playing havoc with sets and schedules. Seeking fresh faces, commercials king Geoff Dixon (Crumpy and Scotty) cast his lead actors in Australia. Television adverts were even made to announce the arrival of the ad — which plays over the closing credits.
Land of the Long White Cloud
Film, 2009 (Full Length)
Director Florian Habicht returns to his Northland home turf to chronicle the annual Snapper Classic Fishing Contest, in this full-length documentary. First prize is $50,000, but the participants chase the joy of the cast as much as the purse. The solitary figures on the epic sweep of Ninety Mile Beach provide poetic images, as Habicht teases out homespun philosophy while fishing for answers on love, the afterlife and whether fish have feelings. The soundtrack features 50s style instrumentals from Habicht regular Marc Chesterman, plus singalongs on the sand and at the local pub.
The Top End of New Zealand
This NFU tourism promo from 1986 showcases all that the north of the North Island has to offer. As holidaymakers Dave and Julia peruse the sights and sounds of Auckland, they provide a high speed guided tour of its nightlife and many attractions. After Julia exits unexpectedly for LA — possibly to moonlight on another tourist film — Dave is joined by Jacky. The two venture up to Ninety Mile Beach and, after exploring the native bush and enjoying a spot of fishing, end their stay with a bonfire by the sea, a stark contrast to the cosmopolitan delights of Auckland.
A Flying Visit - First Episode
Veteran weatherman Jim Hickey sums up A Flying Visit at the start of the first episode: “We’re going to be visiting some of the more unusual and out of the way places, and I’ll be chatting with the locals and they can tell me what makes their little place tick”. He touches his Cessna 182 down on NZ’s northernmost airstrip, meets a pig hunting nana, flies by the lighthouse and Ninety Mile Beach, then crosses to Russell to meet a boogie-boarding dog, a lawn-mowing goat, a uniquely-painted ute — and check out some history. Then it's a flying visit to giant kauri Tāne Mahuta and its kai cart.
Sir Ed Hillary, then in his early 50s, acts as tour guide to remote New Zealand. In the far north he receives a tokotoko (walking stick) and admires the Aupōuri people’s connection with the land. He goes bush and dives for scallops off Stewart Island, and fishes on a Hollyford sandspit. In 1971 he tackles a grand traverse of Mount Cook with Harry Ayres and other mates — not bad for a self-described "middle-aged family man who has tried to keep himself reasonably fit". Sir Ed narrates, and his down-to-earth passion for adventure makes this an inspiring travelogue.
Te Araroa: Tales from the Trails - First Episode
Te Araroa is a 3000 kilometre, Aotearoa-long walkway. In this Māori Television series, host Pio Terei walks it, sampling “New Zealand experiences”. In this first episode, Terei treks his home turf: the trail’s northernmost stage, from Te Rerenga Wairua (Cape Rēinga) to Kaitaia. Pio goes fishing in Ahipara; gets kitted up with a knife, and a kauri tokotoko (walking stick); gets stung by a manuka honey bee; meets the Tarara (NZ Dalmatian) people, and talks mission statements and hangi with members of the hīkoi that "changed the face of the nation" – the 1975 Māori Land March.
Open Home - Series Three, Episode Nine
Open Home was a 90s series looking at New Zealand homes and the people making, designing and living in them. This episode from the third season ranges from deconstructionism to DIY. Builder (and future Dunedin mayor) David Cull checks out a Northland glasshouse designed by Nigel Cook, before visiting the renovated Australian farmhouse and digital recording studio of Dragon band member Todd Hunter. Susan Wood tries translating the architectural theory of deconstructionism with the help of Auckland architects, including Mark Wigley.
Heartland - Far North
The Aupōuri Peninsula - in Maui's legend, the tail of the fish - runs along the top of the North Island, edged on one side by Ninety Mile Beach. In Te Hapua, the most northerly community on the mainland, Gary McCormick helps out at the marae as preparations begin for a cultural festival for the district's primary schools. The students will perform kapa haka, Dalmatian dances and take-offs of Shortland Street. This Heartland episode evocatively melds footage of children practising and performing, with oyster farmers catching fish for the hangi.
The Otherside
Breaks Co-Op, Music Video, 2005
The electronica of Breaks Co-op’s 1995 debut Roofers offered few hints to the more organic sounds of their second album The Sound Inside. Its hit single ‘The Otherside’ is a sun-kissed anthem (and a NZ Music Awards Single of the Year) featuring lush acoustic guitar and a soulful vocal from Andy Lovegrove. Director Tim Groenendaal’s video is an idyllic summer road trip by Holden Kingswood through the Far North and down Ninety Mile Beach (with Zane Lowe’s backseat role prefiguring the step back he would take from the band as his UK radio career blossomed).

What's up in solar system exploration: April 2016 edition
This month (actually, today), Cassini had a relatively close flyby of Titan, and New Horizons will observe a very distant Kuiper belt object named 1994 JR1. Akatsuki has just fine-tuned its orbit around Venus, and Hayabusa2 has begun an 800-hour ion engine thrusting phase to steer it toward near-Earth asteroid Ryugu.
Pretty pictures: Cassini views of Titan's poles (with bonus Enceladus)
Emily Lakdawalla • February 25, 2016 • 4
Image processing enthusiast Ian Regan produced a pretty view of Titan's lake-filled north pole, now visible to Cassini's cameras in the summer sun.
Pretty pictures: Bittersweet goodies from Cassini at Titan, Enceladus, and Telesto
Emily Lakdawalla • January 15, 2016 • 7
Tomorrow, Cassini will fly by Titan, picking up a gravity assist that will tilt its orbit slightly up and out of the ring plane. That will end what has been a wonderful year of frequent encounters with Saturnian moons.
Watch the entire Cassini mission image catalog as a movie
Emily Lakdawalla • November 20, 2015 • 2
If you were to download the entire catalog of photos taken at Saturn to date by Cassini and then animate them like a flipbook, how long would it take to watch them all pass by? The Wall Street Journal's Visual Correspondent Jon Keegan has your answer: nearly four hours.
Filling in the Enceladus map: Cassini's 20th flyby
Emily Lakdawalla • October 16, 2015 • 7
A couple of days ago, Cassini flew past Enceladus for its 20th targeted encounter. Cassini has seen and photographed quite a lot of Enceladus before, but there's still new terrain for it to cover.
What's up in solar system exploration: August 2015 edition
Emily Lakdawalla • August 10, 2015 • 5
I'm back from two weeks' vacation, so it's time to catch up on the status of all our intrepid planetary missions, from Akatsuki to the Voyagers and hitting the Moon, Mars, asteroids, comets, and Saturn in between.
Looking back at Pluto
Emily Lakdawalla • July 24, 2015 • 17
I don't think anyone was prepared for the beauty -- or the instant scientific discoveries -- in this "lookback" image of Pluto, captured by New Horizons shortly after it flew by.
The not-planets
Now that I have a reasonable-resolution global color view of Pluto, I can drop it into one of my trademark scale image montages, to show you how it fits in with the rest of the similar-sized worlds in the solar system: the major moons and the biggest asteroids.
A few gems from the latest Cassini image data release
I checked out the latest public image release from Cassini and found an awesome panorama across Saturn's rings, as well as some pretty views looking over Titan's north pole.
Pretty Cassini pictures: animation of Iapetus' north pole, and other fun
Now that Cassini has returned to Saturn's equatorial plane, it has lots of opportunities to observe Saturn's moons. For about a week, Cassini has been taking regular sets of images of Iapetus, which I've assembled into an animation.

Bail was revoked this week for Nadejda Reilly, 31, of Drums, who is charged with aggravated assault and other offenses over allegations she purposely caused the wreck on Route 93 near Weatherly on Jan. 7.

Boston Mother Commits Suicide Jumps Off Parking Garage Roof With Her Two Children
BOSTON (CBS/AP) — New details emerged Thursday as authorities continue to investigate the deaths of a woman and two young children who were found unconscious near a Boston parking garage on Christmas Day. Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins the woman who died was the mother of the two young children. The woman was 40 years old and the children were 4 and 15 months.

They were rushed to an area hospital, where they were pronounced dead. “Today is a tragedy,” said Boston Police Commissioner William Gross, during a Christmas Day news conference.

Legendary Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is soon to be a familiar face in Lake County.
The former quarterback has two stops planned in the coming months, with one scheduled for Clermont and another in Mount Dora.
Tebow, a devout Christian, will speak at Real Life Church in Clermont on Sunday, Feb. 21. He'll speak at the 9 a.m., 10:45 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. services, the church's website states.
A woman who answered the phone confirmed that Tebow will be speaking in person in Clermont, and it will be streamed to other Real Life campuses.
Mount Dora Christian Academy will host Tebow at its Benefit Gala April 9 at 6 p.m. at the school's gymnasium, communications and events coordinator Sarah Warr said.
The school will be releasing more information closer to the event.

Tebow, 28, won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and was a first round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2010. In his decorated Florida Gators career, Tebow won two national championships.
His NFL tenure is highlighted by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime of a 2012 playoff game as the Broncos' starting quarterback. In overtime, he connected with Demariyus Thomas on a 80-yard touchdown to win the game.
He has since spent time with the Jets and Patriots, and was cut by the Eagles prior to the 2015 season.

MAGIC BUZZED IN NEW ORLEANS
Jerry Brewer, Sentinel Staff WriterTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
NEW ORLEANS -- Whenever the Orlando Magic begin to feel good, or at least OK, about themselves, the reminder comes.
Some thick-necked, long-legged big man humbles them. Or if it is New Orleans, many thick-necked, long-legged big men humble them. The Hornets let the Magic know what they are not, which is big. The gap between the Magic and the East elite seems to widen.
New Orleans beat Orlando 100-89 Friday night with its size, strength and experience. The Magic (18-16) could only grimace and chastise themselves.
Nothing told the story of this game, or the Magic's season, better than watching forward/center Andrew DeClercq, sweating so much that his jersey was dark blue, during a timeout in the fourth quarter.
"Dang!" he yelled, talking to himself. "Move your feet, Drew!"
Once more, the Magic had to settle for effort without results.
Something is missing, and everyone knows it. The Magic always run into a wall. They are going nowhere special without more help on the inside, unless they get lucky, and Orlando does not know much about luck these days.
So here they are, with no salary-cap flexibility and little luxury-tax space to do anything about the problem this season, hoping for improvement.
One stat said it all Friday: The Hornets had 40 points in the paint. The Magic had 18.
Orlando was able to play New Orleans to a draw on the boards, but the Hornets shot 48.8 percent, breaking down a Magic defense void of a shot-blocking presence.
Against good teams, Orlando has little margin for error. And who plays the perfect game?
"You can't make as many mistakes," forward Mike Miller said. "It's difficult, but that's a part of it."
The Magic put themselves in this situation with acquisitions that have not panned out and other questionable decisions. Still, they are more talented than this.
"What we have is what we have," said guard Tracy McGrady, who scored 40 points, his fifth 40-point game of the season. "Nothing is going to change. We can't keep talking about how we're going to do this and do that and become a good team. We have to do it."
The Magic played an impressive first quarter, and then the Hornets figured them out. Orlando led by as many as 11 points in the opening 12 minutes, only to fall behind by eight in the second quarter and 13 in the third. Every time the Magic tried to catch up, they made a critical mistake and New Orleans made a critical basket.
If forward Jamal Mashburn was not torturing them with 29 points and nine assists, then it was forward P.J. Brown scoring on his way to 18 points. Or center Elden Campbell adding 13. Or guard Courtney Alexander dropping 14.
The Hornets are the kind of complete team that the Magic so desperately want to be. They won by playing off their big guys and making it easier for the perimeter players. They got forward Shawn Kemp, the Magic's best post player, in early foul trouble and took him out of the game.
DeClercq had a solid game with seven points and eight rebounds, but the Magic received no points and just three rebounds from starting center Olumide Oyedeji. Forward Pat Garrity had only six points and four rebounds. Forwards Pat Burke and Ryan Humphrey only played token minutes.
"We're just not big enough to play at their pace," Magic Coach Doc Rivers said.
Until proven otherwise, the size difference means they are not good enough, either.

Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) is considered one of the most promising functional imaging modalities for neuro biology research and has demonstrated the ability to quantify cerebral blood flow velocity at a high accuracy. However, the measurement of total absolute blood flow velocity (BFV) of major cerebral arteries is still a difficult problem since it is related to vessel geometry. In this paper, we present a volumetric vessel reconstruction approach that is capable of measuring the absolute BFV distributed along the entire middle cerebral artery (MCA) within a large field-of-view. The Doppler angle at each point of the MCA, representing the vessel geometry, is derived analytically by localizing the artery from pure DOCT images through vessel segmentation and skeletonization. Our approach could achieve automatic quantification of the fully distributed absolute BFV across different vessel branches. Experiments on rodents using swept-source optical coherence tomography showed that our approach was able to reveal the consequences of permanent MCA occlusion with absolute BFV measurement.

Our friendly administrative and court staff can assist you if you have been stopped and charged by the police. Whether you have been charged under the Highway Traffic Act or the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, by municipal police or the Ontario Provincial Police, it is important that you avoid a hasty decision that could carry long-term consequences. Fines for an offence in Ontario could range from a small fine under a hundred dollars, up to a fine in the tens of thousands of dollars. Some offences can also result in a court ordered suspension of your driver’s licence, or a suspension from the MTO due to demerit points or other grounds such as an escalated sanctions suspension for novice drivers such as those with a G1 or G2 licence. Some of the most serious offences can also result in imprisonment.
For most simple matters, our team can gather the necessary information from you and provide you with the basic information you will need within as little as 10 to 15 minutes. Some defendants simply plead guilty to an offence without realizing that they have an arguable defence, or without realizing that the offence can likely be negotiated to a lesser offence or reduced penalties. Our team can provide you with the candid information you need to protect your interests and avoid costly penalties that can interrupt your ability to meet your daily personal, family, and work obligations.
At Leamington OTD Legal Services, our team helps people such as yourself with minor offences such as speeding, driver fail to properly wear seatbelt, change lane not in safety, fail to drive in marked lane, amber or red light fail to stop, and fail to surrender licence. We also help defendants who have been issued charges related to a motor vehicle collision or commercial motor vehicle drivers who have been charged with MTO infractions. We can also assist you with cases involving very serious offences such as careless driving, operate motor vehicle no insurance, drive under suspension, fail to stop for a school bus, or fail to remain at the scene of a collision.
Being stopped and charged by the police, especially if you have been involved in a collision, will be a naturally stressful situation. Our experienced team understands the stress and anxiety that most defendants find themselves in, and will seek to ease the stress involved by resolving your matter at court on your behalf. For most cases, once our team has been retained you will never need to file a court document or set foot in a courthouse; you will never need to speak to a Prosecutor or Justice of the Peace, or respond to questions in a courtroom.
Once retained, our staff will respond to the court on your behalf to alert the court that we are contesting the charge(s) issued against you. Once a court date has been set, we will prepare and serve notice to the Prosecutor’s Office on your behalf for a release of evidence and then meet with the Prosecutor to review their evidence. Where a sufficient legal argument cannot be found to simply have your charge(s) withdrawn, most cases can at least have a negotiated settlement reached to reduce the number or nature of the charges, or reach an agreement to have the penalties reduced without the need for trial. However, should your case be one of the less common matters that results in a trial, having a licenced and experienced paralegal arguing on your behalf at court will provide you a much more effective defence than trying to represent yourself without an understanding of the court process and relevant case law.
We offer a no-cost, no-obligation review of matters and can provide you with a flat-rate cost on legal work to allow you to make an informed and educated decision on how to best protect your interests. Our staff can be reached via our toll-free number at 1‑844‑647‑6869 or via email info@otdlegal.ca, online https://www.otdlegal.ca/contact, or at any of our offices in person https://www.otdlegal.ca/contact.

Toddlers and Preschoolers
Behavioral Development
The All-Time Grossest Kids' Habits Explained
Does your child pick his nose? Eat food off the floor? Forget to wipe his butt? We know -- ew! -- but preschoolers are prone to icky behavior. Here are eight common bad habits -- and how to nip them in the bud.
By Chipotle Baby Shower 2
Nose-Picking
What's the worst thing that can happen: Although it's disgusting to watch your child's finger go from nose to mouth, eating boogers won't make him sick. But picking his nose might: The mucous membranes lining your child's nostrils are a prime entry point for infections.
How to make it stop: Redirection is usually effective. "Give him a toy or a book -- anything to occupy his hands," says Michal Nissenbaum, Ph.D., a psychologist at the Developmental Disabilities Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, in Kansas City. Explain to a preschooler that nose-picking spreads germs. Also carry tissues, and hand him one the instant he reaches for his nose.
Bonus tip: Reduce itching by keeping his nostrils moist. Dab them with petroleum jelly, or use saline drops several times a day. During the winter (or if you live in a dry climate), a cool-mist humidifier in his bedroom will prevent mucous membranes from drying out overnight.
Sloppy Wiping
What's the worst thing that can happen: Once a preschooler can use the potty, you may be tempted to let her take care of business. But if she isn't wiping well, she may emerge with an awful mess on her hands. For girls, incomplete wiping can also cause bladder infections.
How to make it stop: A child under 4 may lack the motor skills to wipe properly, so double-check her work. Even at age 5 or 6, your child may need periodic wiping demonstrations (you'll know by seeing her underwear).
Bonus tip: Some children find flushable wet wipes easier to use than toilet paper.
Drinking Bathwater
What's the worst thing that can happen: Soapy water is a bigger concern than tub grime. If he guzzles down enough bubbles, he can get diarrhea.
How to make it stop: If he's sipping suds because he's bored, divert him with bath toys, crayons, or paints. And if he's 3 or older, point out the ring of gunk in the tub when he's done bathing. "That will dissuade most kids," says Kerry English, M.D., director of child development at UCLA's King/Drew Medical Center, in Los Angeles.
Bonus tip: Is your child drinking because he's thirsty? Offer him a sip of (clean) water.
Coughing and Sneezing Without Covering
What's the worst thing that can happen: "Cold viruses and more serious illnesses, including pneumonia and meningitis, are spread by the organisms traveling in those little droplets," says Robert S. Baltimore, M.D., a professor of pediatrics at Yale University School of Medicine.
How to make it stop: Be a good role model. If you cover your own nose and mouth, your children are more likely to do the same. And don't be afraid to nag -- kids need constant reminders to cover when they cough or sneeze (and to wash their hands afterward).
Bonus tip: To prevent the spread of germs, teach your child to sneeze into the crook of her elbow, not her hands.
Scab-Picking
What's the worst thing that can happen: Dirty fingers can introduce infection-causing bacteria to a wound. Scabs that are picked repeatedly can also scar.
How to make it stop: Treat cuts and scrapes with antibiotic ointment, and cover them with a bandage to keep little hands away. Let him choose one with his favorite character on it; he'll be less likely to remove it.
Bonus tip: When you see your child picking at exposed skin, distract him with a finger-play song, such as "The Eensy-Weensy Spider."
Forgetting to Wash Hands
What's the worst thing that can happen: A child who doesn't clean her hands regularly can contract a scary number of diseases, including pinworms, fecal bacteria, and the virus that causes hepatitis A.
How to make it stop: Offer frequent, gentle prompts. Remind her to wash up before meals, after playing outside, and -- the big one -- whenever she uses the toilet. Also, use visual cues to make hand-washing part of her bathroom routine. Trace your child's hands on paper, draw on soapy-looking bubbles, and tape it to the bathroom door.
Bonus tip: For cleaner hands on the go, keep anti-bacterial wet wipes in your glove compartment or purse.
Nail-Biting and Finger-Picking
What's the worst thing that can happen: Your child's fingertips or cuticles can bleed and become infected. Biting dirty fingernails can also transmit germs.
How to make it stop: Most young children nail-bite when they're bored, such as during long car rides. For these occasions, distract him with music, a book, or some crayons and paper.
Bonus tip: If your nail-biter is a girl (and you aren't opposed to the idea of using polish on your child), give her a manicure. When you catch her nibbling, remind her how much nicer her nails look when she leaves them alone.
Eating Food off the Floor
What's the worst thing that can happen: If you accidentally step in animal poop, you can track parasites, salmonella, or other harmful organisms onto that floor, according to Philip Tierno Jr., Ph.D., director of clinical microbiology at New York University Medical Center, in Manhattan, and author of The Secret Life of Germs. Fortunately, the chances of your child's contracting a serious illness this way are (pun intended) microscopic.
How to make it stop: Just say no every time your child does it. Even a toddler can be trained not to put fallen food into his mouth. Also, clean floors frequently and keep them dry, because germs thrive in damp environments.
Bonus tip: Think food is safe to eat as long as you retrieve it within five seconds? Then swallow this: A recent study showed that food dropped on infected flooring is contaminated as soon as it hits the ground.

Dota 2 tournament The Defense returns for fifth iteration, watch it here
The Defense was one of the first long running online Dota 2 tournaments, put together by ancient Dota fansite joinDOTA. It’s been on hiatus for the past two years but returns today as one of the first major tournaments being ran post-TI5. Phase 1 features tonnes of big time players running with new teammates for the first time after the major reshuffles of the past month. Elements of Cloud9, Team Secret and EG are all represented. Phase 2, which will start at the conclusion of these two six-team groups, will feature another six big teams directly invited to that stage.
You can watch it live here:
As always, LiquidDota is your best bet for seeing a breakdown of the teams and format. The prize pool is starting at $75,000, increased by sales of the attached item bundle and DotaTV ticket. It’s all building to an offline finals, the first in the series’ history.
It sort’ve marks the end of Dota 2’s offseason, which goes from the end of The International until whenever teams start coming out to play serious games again. Usually tournaments wait for the post-TI patch, always a reset point due to the massive changes it introduces to the game, but The Defense has jumped the gun due to its long running nature. The first major LAN after this will be ESL One New Yorkfeaturing TI5 Champions Evil Geniuses on October 3rd, the qualifiers for which are also currently ongoing.

Fantasy football Week 4 QB rankings: Daniel Jones up, Kirk Cousins down, Sam Darnold worth watching

By Dustin Hockensmith | dhockensmith@pennlive.com
A look at quarterbacks for Week 4 in fantasy football leagues, including rankings and players whose stocks are rising and falling.
THREE UP
Philip Rivers, LAC, at Miami: There’s some risk involved in taking a quarterback’s production to the bank facing this disastrous Dolphins team. Blowouts are a constant threat, which have a chance of landing quarterbacks on the bench for large chunks of the game. Even so, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady and Dak Prescott have met or exceeded lofty expectations through three weeks, giving Rivers a good shot to do the same. Longer-term, the pending return to action of running back Melvin Gordon adds another element of danger to the Chargers offense, which also gets Denver and Pittsburgh at home in the next two weeks. Rivers could start to heat up.
Daniel Jones, NYG, vs. Washington: At the risk of overhyping him, Jones could have a big encore coming after accounting for four total touchdowns and leading the Giants to a big comeback win over Tampa Bay last week. The No. 6 overall pick in the April draft, Jones showed poise and confidence in his first start in the face of an aggressive and previously successful Buccaneers defense. Fast forward to Sunday, and he is set to make his home debut against an even more beatable Redskins defense. If Jones brings those same skills to the table — and regression doesn’t appear likely — he could make a strong run at QB1 numbers.
Mason Rudolph, PIT, vs. Cincinnati: Hindsight is 20/20, but Rudolph had the deck stacked against him in a Week 3 start in San Francisco, one in which he completed 14 of 27 passes for 174 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. The Steelers traveled across the country to play in front of an energized Bay Area crowd, all while facing significant questions about where the points were going to come from in the absence of Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. The answer to that question could be coming, perhaps as soon as Week 4, as Rudolph faces a Bengals defense that ranks lower-middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.
THREE DOWN
Matt Ryan, ATL, vs. Tennessee: All bets are off when Ryan and the Falcons play at home on their fast track, but the matchup with the Titans is enough to give fantasy owners pause. Ryan is producing as he always does in volume and counting stats, but he also has an NFL-high six interceptions, including at least one in each of his three starts. He tangles with a stout Titans defense that ranks among the top five in the league in interceptions (T-3rd) and fewest 20-yard (T-5th) and 40-yard pass plays (T-1st). All of those trends are in small sample sizes, sure, but it’s still enough to put Ryan on the QB1 bubble for owners with other options.
Kirk Cousins, MIN, at Chicago: Cousins’ slow start goes from troubling to alarming for all sorts of reason, not the least of which being a Week 4 road matchup against the vaunted Bears defense. The quarterback is getting very little help from a banged-up group of playmakers, to the point now where the Vikings have called by far the lowest percentage of passes (38.7%) in the NFL. That dynamic doesn’t figure to change anytime soon, particularly on the road against Chicago in a matchup that projects as a low-scoring defensive grind. Cousins has been held below 200 yards in two of three games so far and figures to make it three of four on Sunday.
Josh Allen, BUF, vs. New England: Allen is off to a hot start on the strength of more efficient play and his usual contributions as a runner. He goes into Week 4 having benefited from three straight friendly matchups and now gets a Patriots defense that ranks among the hottest in the NFL. And while it’s worth noting that New England hasn’t exactly played a murderer’s row of opposing offenses — the Steelers, Dolphins and Jets — it’s also worth mentioning that they stymied Allen to the tune of 20-of-41 passing for 217 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions as he heated up late last season. The Patriots have the pieces and the wherewithal to bring out Allen’s deficiencies in his aggression and decision-making, even if they do play on the road.
WAIVER WATCH
Sam Darnold, NYJ, bye week: The quarterback waiver wire is full of options of all shapes and sizes, but Darnold might be the only one with long-term QB1 potential. The Jets have been brutal in his absence due to mononucleosis, but they might not be without their franchise quarterback much longer. Darnold is ramping up activity to the point where a Week 5 return hasn’t yet been ruled out. Plenty of owners in redraft leagues were forced to cut bait on him following his post-Week 1 diagnosis, and not many of them are scrambling to the wire to add him to their benches now. The urgency to do so will really pick up as soon as next week; wise owners have a chance to beat the rush now.

Fallout from Wood-Mode closure continues as former employees still await answers to their questions
By John Beauge | Special to PennLive
KREAMER – Trade adjustment assistance was sought for Wood-Mode Inc. two weeks after the custom wood cabinet manufacturer in Snyder County closed.
The petition, filed May 29 with the federal Employment and Training Administration, claims Wood-Mode lost sales due to kitchen cabinet imports from China, Vietnam and other countries.
The filing is a catalyst that starts an investigation, explained Thomas Werstler, the state rapid response coordinator who filed it on behalf of Wood-Mode.
U.S. Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. has urged the Labor Department to grant the petition that would provide short-term assistance for employees as they seek new jobs.
The lawmaker also asked Wood-Mode chairman Robert Gronlund to provide details on why the plant closed May 13, leaving 938 employees without work and millions of dollars of ordered product unfinished.
State and local officials along with employees have complained about the lack of information from ownership related to the abrupt shutdown.
“There are many questions for which we don’t have answers,” Michelle Sanders, a Wood-Mode worker, said Wednesday.
Casey in a letter asked Gronlund “to do all you can” to ensure the affected employees, community agencies and the state’s Rapid Response Team have supportive information regarding the reasons for the sudden closure.
Employees were told was a prospective buyer backed out at the last minute and a lender refused to provide additional funding to keep the 77-year-old company operating to allow time to consider another offer.
Four days later they were notified by text their benefits had ceased.
Wood-Mode is privately owned, so its financial data is not available to the public.
Citing workers’ stress and concerns over the closing and loss of benefits, Casey told Gronlund: “I am specifically interested to learn of any plans you have to offer support to the nearly 1,000 workers who lost their jobs.”
The dedicated employees and the surrounding community “put their faith and trust into you and your son, Brooks, the company’s CEO,” he said. “I am asking you do right by them.”
Repeated attempts by PennLive to contact the Gronlunds have been unsuccessful.
The lack of information has sparked rumors among employees that include the lender would rather liquidate than sell and Wood-Mode was withdrawing its contribution to the 401K retirement plan.
There are a “few serious buyers” for the plant in Kreamer, at least one of which has been met with the governor’s representatives, said state Rep. Lynda Schlegel Culver, R-Northumberland.
She and Sunbury attorney Joel Wiest, who is providing free legal advice to employees, say removing the company’s contribution to the pension plan would be illegal.
Culver’s legislative district does not include Kreamer, but she said she is involved because Wood-Mode employees are among her constituents.
Three former employees have filed separate federal lawsuits accusing Wood-Mode of violating Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that requires 60-day notice of a closing.
Each suit seeks class action status to represent all employees so if the litigation is successful everyone would get pay and benefits for 60 days.

It seems like only yesterday that people were video streaming their hungover breakfast tacos and Shingy sightings from SXSW 2015 on Meerkat. Alas, Meerkat has officially bitten the dust. Its creators at the startup Life on Air have pulled it from the App Store. This wasnt really a surprise. Just months after blowing up at the Austin tech and culture festival last year, the startup raised $12 million and officially kicked off the live-streaming video craze that captivated big media and YouTube stars alike. For a brief moment, Meerkat was the little live-streaming app that could, and it retained its enthusiasts even as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube launched their own live-streaming services. But from the outset it was clear that Meerkat faced an uphill battle. Twitter and Facebook were working on mobile video broadcasting services that were automatically plugged into users existing social networks. At SXSW, when Meerkat was at the peak of its popularity, Twitter kneecapped the fledgling startup by cutting off its access to users Twitter social graphs (i.e., their friends and followers). Rubin said at the time Twitter only gave him two hours notice. Rubin and Meerkat saw the writing on the wall, and attempted a pivot last spring to become a video-based social network. Follow Ben Rubin ✔ @benrbn We just removed Meerkat from the AppStore 😔 bitter sweet moment seeing it go while celebrating @houseparty 7:53 PM - 30 Sep 2016 143 143 Retweets 298 298 likes On Twitter and in a number of interviews with the tech press, Meerkat founder Ben Rubin showed Life on Airs newest app: A mobile video social network (which is basically group chat but with video) called Houseparty. Its been available to download since February, but Rubin is only now claiming the app as Life on Airs. Recode reports that it already has "nearly a million users" and more downloads than Meerkat ever did, nearly topping the App Store in May. However, the company hasnt specified if those are monthly or daily users, and the analytics service AppAnnie says that HouseParty is currently the 383rd-most-popular app in the iOS App Store, and the 20th-most-popular social networking app. Social-powered video live streaming, meanwhile, hasnt really taken off. Although Facebook has paid publishers as much as $3 million apiece to stream live video, media people quickly grew weary of the format. Still, thats not stopping Facebook from pushing Live; the company is about to launch a major TV and billboard ad blitz to promote the feature. Follow Barry Petchesky ✔ @barryap1 Why yes, we do resent having to produce a certain amount of Facebook live video each week, how’d you guess? https://www.facebook.com/deadspin/videos/10157522027205072/ … 8:17 PM - 28 Sep 2016 4 4 Retweets 12 12 likes Twitters live video app Periscope, meanwhile, has hit the skids, because Twitter has stopped growing.

Hattingley Valley celebrated its 100th award win with one of its most important local customers this week.
The family-owned Hampshire winery secured gold for its 2015 Rosé at the International Wine Challenge and toasted its success with staff at Peter Cooper in Hedge End.
Darren Cooper, managing director of the Peter Cooper Motor Group, congratulated Hattingley Valley’s Rebecca Fisher and then promptly placed an order for over 250 bottles of its award-winning sparkling wine.
The Peter Cooper Motor Group is giving every member of staff a bottle of sparkling wine this Christmas instead of Champagne as part of its “Support Local” campaign.
The company decided to change a 20-year-old tradition across the South Coast Volkswagen and Prestige Car dealerships last year and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.
Darren Cooper, managing director of the Peter Cooper Motor Group, said: “For us, the switch in tradition was about supporting local companies and the fact that Hattingley Valley is an award-winning English wine producer which competes incredibly well against French Champagnes.
“Local businesses need the support of their communities now more than ever and wherever we can, we try to engage with local suppliers across our company. It’s not always about saving costs, it’s about supporting local companies that provide a quality product with an exceptional level of service.”
Darren added: “We’ve had a tremendous reaction from the majority of the staff who thoroughly enjoyed last year’s sparkling wine. It wasn’t about cost saving as they are around the same price, but in my opinion, the sparkling wine is better than many of the champagnes you see on the market.
“We wanted to share this quality local wine with our teams and give them something nice to wash their Christmas lunch down with! Huge congratulations go to Hattingley Valley for their 100thaward, a true mark of excellence!”
The £6,000 order was once again gratefully received by Rebecca Fisher, marketing and events manager at Hattingley Valley Wines.
Rebecca said: “We are delighted to be once again collaborating with such an established business as the Peter Cooper Motor Group. We have a similar ethos in striving to achieve exceptional quality in both the products we produce and the services we offer. We are thrilled that Darren and his team will be drinking our sparkling wine again this Christmas.
“We are seeing a gradual trend in local companies supporting us instead of going elsewhere for their staff gifts which is encouraging.”
Gareth Maxwell, Commercial Director of Hattingley Valley said: “We couldn’t be happier to see the 2015 Rosé take home Gold at this year’s awards. It’s a testament to the hard work of our winemaking team, that as England continues to gain attention for its sparkling wines.
“Hattingley Valley is at the forefront, competing at an international level and putting our wines firmly on the global map.”
The award marks the 100thdistinction for Hattingley Valley which boasts an impressive array of over 80 medals, 13 trophies and three Best in Class.

Mysterious Fireballs That Rained Down On Chile Were Not Meteorites, Experts Say
Admin October 05, 2019 0
Mysterious fireballs streaked across the sky and crash-landed in Chile last week, setting both the ground and curiosity ablaze. What they were and where they came from is still a mystery, as a first analysis has just ruled out the obvious favorite: meteorites.
On September 25, witnesses reported seeing blazing fireballs light up the sky over Chiloé Island, in the archipelago off southern Chile. Not long after, small bush fires were reported in seven locations across the island, which were quickly put out by volunteers.
marcelo macaya@mmacaya
Se reporta caída de meteorito en mocopulli chiloe
The obvious explanation, as astrophysicist and Chilean of the Year, Jose Maza told national broadcaster TVN, was a meteorite or space debris. Residents noted the fireball was moving extremely quickly, burning a bright red, which suggested a meteor, but space junk is just as common, with around 200-400 known objects falling each year.
However, officials from the National Service of Geology and Mining have since analyzed the charred sites strewn across the town of Dalcahue and found no evidence of a meteorite.
“[G]eologists went to the site examining the area of the supposed impact. They worked on seven points corresponding to burnt thickets, where they found no remains, vestiges, or evidence of a meteorite falling,” the report stated.

10:19 PM - Sep 28, 2019
42 people are talking about this
The geologists told TVN that they have collected soil samples for a more thorough analysis, and will release their conclusions in a few weeks.
So, technically what we have here right now is an unidentified flying object. Yep, a UFO.
Since it’s highly unlikely to be aliens, and a meteorite seems to have been ruled out, the most likely scenario is some kind of space junk falling to Earth. Largely we are unaware of the majority of space junk as it usually burns up in the atmosphere, falls in the ocean (which covers 70 percent of the planet), or lands somewhere remote and unpopulated.
It’s very rare for space junk to actually hit the ground near people, and no one has ever been killed or seriously injured by falling debris. The only known occurrences of people being hit by space debris are five Japanese sailors on a ship that was hit by falling pieces of a Russian spacecraft in 1969, and a curious event in 1997 where a woman in the US got lightly brushed by material that turned out to be from a Delta 2 rocket booster.
The most famous space debris events, of course, involve the space stations Mir and Skylab. America's first space station, Skylab, had a memorable return to Earth in 1979 when part of it crash-landed in Western Australia, who fined the US for littering. Mir, Russia's space station, fell to Earth in 2001. The largest object to ever reenter Earth's atmosphere, it fortunately landed in the Pacific Ocean, but not before we caught some spectacular scenes of it blazing across the sky.

Home As Social Media Grows, What Will Become of the Plain Old Banner Ad?
As Social Media Grows, What Will Become of the Plain Old Banner Ad?
October 6, 2010 Dorian Benkoil
AdvertisingE-Media TidbitsSocial mediaWTSP
“The death of display advertising has been greatly exaggerated,” Randall Rothenberg, CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, said last week at the trade organization’s MIXX conference.
True, rectangular “banner” ads, in-stream video commercials and other so-called online “display” advertising accounted for more than a third of the nearly $23 billion spent on Internet advertising last year, according to David Silverman in a PricewaterhouseCoopers report prepared with the IAB.
But there was another 800-lb gorilla in the room at MIXX. Social media such as Twitter and Facebook are rapidly becoming venues where marketers connect with customers and spend dollars that previously may have gone to more traditional Internet ads.
Dick Costolo, who was just named Twitter CEO, talked about the power of the platform and its new advertising efforts, such as Promoted Tweets and Promoted Trends. Investor Yossi Vardi, who helped launch the ICQ chat standard, likened the future of social media to “the future of civilization,” quoting Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos as saying the likelihood you’ll buy a car is 500 percent higher if a friend recommends it.
Even as Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, touted the ways that display ads can be used on Facebook, many at the conference discussed how social interactions on fan pages and through its Open Graph (formerly Facebook Connect) get consumers to buy at a much higher rate than advertising alone ever has.
So is social media killing display ads?
Display ads growing, but…
A closer look at the Pricewaterhouse study shows that while display ads ticked up to a 35 percent share of ad spending in 2009 (from 33 percent in 2008), search grew by the same 2 percentage points but a higher dollar amount (from 45 percent to 47 percent). Search’s share has risen sharply over the past four years while banners have been essentially flat.
Plain old banners, too, are declining in relevance. The money spent on ads sold on an “impression” basis — that is, based purely on someone seeing them — is down sharply compared to “performance” ads that require an action, such as a click. That trend is likely to continue.
YouTube executives at the conference introduced their new “cost-per-view” advertising format, in which a viewer is given a choice of which ad to see in a video, or given a choice to skip an ad after five seconds. The marketer pays only for a video that’s been shown.
The effectiveness of these ads, said the executives, can be 10 times as high as for interruptive ads (the term for any type of ad that delays the user from accessing the content he seeks).
New startups from high-profile entrepreneurs are also offering to help advertisers get into the social stream, promising higher effectiveness than from display ads.
Two days after MIXX and a few blocks away at the Web 2.0 conference, Jonah Peretti, a cofounder of The Huffington Post, showed off new startup BuzzFeed, which in May closed an $8 million second round of venture capital financing. The company, now in beta, uses some of the same technological and editorial techniques of HuffPo to inject conversations prompted by marketers into the social stream while trying to score viral hits.
Social media as salvation, too
Whether or not BuzzFeed or YouTube’s initiatives succeed, they’re clearly part of a trend of marketing dollars moving away from typical banner ads and toward user interaction and social media.
Publishers earning revenue from display ads priced on impressions will find themselves competing over a shrinking pie. Hearst Corp. CEO Frank Bennack Jr. noted at MIXX that there is “no longer an inventory shortage” for advertising as there once was in magazines and newspapers, and that his companies’ online publications need more than just advertising revenue to survive.
There is some hope for display ads, though — and it’s based on social media and the ability to customize ads based on user interaction.
Showing off new display ad products still being tested, Barry Salzman, Google’s managing director for media and platforms for the Americas, said that by 2015, 75 percent of ads will be “socially enabled.”
His colleagues showed new “dynamic display advertising” formats that allow on-the-fly customization as a user interacts with a site, as well as the ability to change ads via the social stream. In one case, as someone types in a ZIP code on Google Maps, a rectangular display ad next to the typing is customized to that region. Other ads, some of which exist today, allow companies to put live Twitter streams and comments into a banner.
This means publishers will have the chance to make money from their visitors by enabling them to interact with ads in the same way they are now encouraged to interact with a site’s main content. (Publishers still will have to maximize revenue for each ad placement by serving the highest-value ad in each spot and by creating other revenue streams.)
As marketers become more savvy and demand more proof of user engagement, publishers will likely have to offer marketing formats that show clients that they have gotten users to engage not only with the site, but also the brands that are advertising on them.

The New York Times released its intensive internal data boot camp to the public

This week in digital tools for journalism
This article originally appeared in Try This! — Tools for Journalism, our newsletter about digital tools. Want bite-sized news, tutorials and ideas about the best digital tools for journalism in your inbox every Monday? Sign up here.
That old narrative that says we all got into this profession because we’re word people and not numbers people is under strain.
Recognizing the importance of math and data in so many major beats — education, the stock market, the census and criminal justice — The New York Times’s digital transition team set out to train reporters on basic data skills and understanding of numbers. After two pilot programs, the Times launched a data boot camp available to all of its reporters on any beat. The class meets for two hours every morning for three weeks.
Three times more journalists sign up than the class can fit. So yeah, it’s safe to say that (at the Times, at least) our reluctance to move from the keyboard to the calculator is dead.
Stories that have come out of the program are varied — from a friendly fire incident in Vietnam a half century ago to a storefront sign-reporting bandit in Brooklyn, from the effect of hospital mergers on prices to racial disparities at New York’s most elite public high school.
The training is built around Google Sheets, starting with basics on navigating and searching through spreadsheets, all the way up to cleaning and parsing data. Besides hard skills, the class also focuses on how best to use data in stories, ethics and bulletproofing data-driven stories.
The best part? The Times published all of these resources and tools so that other newsrooms and journalism schools can build a foundation in data reporting, too. Now you’ll be ready the next time some Twitter troll tells you to “learn to code.”
A DATE WITH THE DEVIL: Earlier this year, I surmised that calendars might become the next great publishing tool. Led by organizations like the Times and the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, and pushed forward by innovative startups like Frame, newsrooms are eyeing the mostly unclaimed and very personal space on audiences’ phones and computers. So are scammers, evidently. Phishers are taking advantage of a default Google setting that automatically adds events to calendars, reports Lily Hay Newman for Wired. Victims are then barraged with notifications that promise cash rewards or money transfers with links to forms that steal their information. Please mark me down as “not attending.”
GET SOCIAL: NBC News shared a story about a man who ate hot sauce packets while he was stuck in his car, with anchors pretending to drink hot sauce as they spoke. The Washington Post imitated a Spongebob meme soundtracked with Billie Eilish. When you’re on the hottest social media platform for those under 30, you have to adapt a little. Tik Tok now boasts half a billion active users and a handful of news organizations trying to make the most of its youthful audience. The aim for most of them is brand recognition. Even if your organization isn’t ready to yeet the most fire memes, it’s worth signing in and snagging your username before someone else does.
TRACK CHANGES: There are plenty of reasons why a journalist would want to monitor and track changes on a web page — hush-hush changes on executive teams, sneaky spikes in prices of goods or commodities, a subtle tweak in administrative policy. There are a handful of tool options in this realm. I’ve been using The Marshall Project’s Klaxon to track changes on a handful of websites across the internet for a few years now. But as much as I like Klaxon, my attempts to sign up friends and colleagues have not gone well because, well, look at these instructions. Lately, I’ve been trying an alternative called Distill.io. As a simple browser plugin, it’s relatively foolproof (feel free to prove me a fool), with plenty of options and a generous free plan.
BAD EMAIL, GOOD EMAIL: Has your inbox seemed a little stale lately? A few years back, Google introduced Smart Reply, which suggests clickable replies to emails; and Smart Compose, which suggests ending for sentences and all email is worse off for it, writes Emily Reynolds for OneZero. She argues that the automatic responses are generic and interchangeable, implying that your concern for the email’s recipient is also interchangeable and irrelevant. It’s an interesting point. Perhaps a better way to shave off a few seconds from your inbox is Checker Plus, a browser plugin that collapses all of your Gmail accounts into a handy panel. It includes just about every bell and whistle you can think of — hardly impersonal!
HOW TO FREELANCE: Whether you’re looking to launch a lucrative side hustle or forge your own path, here are four resources about freelancing that should help.
Thinking about breaking into the freelance life but not sure if it’s for you? Business and marketing consultant Emma Moran shares five skills that will determine your success as a freelancer.
If you’ve decided that freelancing is for you but don’t have the tools for it yet, Scott Nover can help with his tech guide for being a freelance journalist (which is actually a pretty good tech guide for anyone).
Having some trouble getting that moolah from your clients? Check Heather Parry’s tweet and the resulting thread. It’s full of legal guidance for when a client won’t pay up, with links and tidbits relevant to a handful of different countries.
Feeling a little lost in your new freelance career? My friend and occasionally collaborator Katie Hawkins-Gaar explores her feelings of guilt about just how much she enjoys freelancing and the benefits of the “freelance lifestyle.” (Be sure to sign up for her newsletter, My Sweet Dumb Brain, for more insights into navigating the weird things your brain throws at you.)
INFINITE TOOLS AND INFINITE TOOLBOXES: Every now and then I share what seems to me to be an unreasonable number of tools. “I’m being overwhelming,” I think. “There is no way anyone will find the energy to look through all of those.” But, invariably, at least one of you reaches out and asks for more. So here’s the motherlode. The Toolbox Toolbox is exactly what it sounds like — a collection of toolboxes from every kind of organization you can imagine containing all types of tools and tips and guidebooks. It’s incredibly overwhelming but I suspect some of you will spend hours roving its tomes.
NWS IN BRF:
I realize I keep dispensing work from The Pudding, but show me a more innovative way to share the most popular music from the last couple decades.
Slack has gone public. Its Nasdaq symbol is “WORK.” And its market cap is currently more than $18 billion which, as Nieman Lab points out in this ode to Slack’s role in our lives, more than three times the value of The New York Times.
Nieman also has a great look at the impending closure of what might have been the most innovative news app out there — Quartz. The mobile news chat app, which was great for news junkies and the severely lonely alike, will shut down next week.

Trump-Putin ‘happy talk’ isn't in US national interest, says McFaul
August 23, 2019 · 1:00 PM EDT
By The World staff
Listen to the story.
US Ambassador Michael McFaul walks leaves the Russian Foreign Ministry headquarters in Moscow, May 15, 2013.
Maxim Shemetov/Reuters
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be in attendance when world leaders gather in France for the G7 summit this weekend.
Russia used to be a member of the international bloc when it was the G8. But Russia was pushed out of the group in 2014 after violating territorial sovereignty and annexing the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine and invading Eastern Ukraine.
Related: After 5 years, Ukraine's barrier to peace is 'Russia's political will'
But US President Donald Trump doesn't agree with keeping Russia on the sidelines of the summit. He said he would support Russia rejoining the group, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office earlier this week.
"I think it's much more appropriate to have Russia in," Trump said. "It should be the G8 because a lot of the things we talk about have to do with Russia. So I could certainly see it being the G8 again and if somebody would make that motion, I would certainly be disposed to think about it very favorably."
Michael McFaul was the US ambassador to Russia during the Barack Obama administration. He spoke with The World's Marco Werman about the future of Russia and US national interests.
Marco Werman: So I want to start by getting your take on what President Trump had to say about Russia and the G7. I mean this is not the first time Trump has made the suggestion. What do you make of it?
Michael McFaul: Marco, I honestly don't understand it. I don't understand what national security interest he is seeking to advance by making that statement. Obviously, the rest of the G7 is not going to go along with it. There was a reason that Vladimir Putin was kicked out of the G7. He invaded Ukraine, he annexed Crimea and that was part of the punishment and he showed no signs of leaving Ukraine. But secondly, I don't even understand what he thinks he's accomplishing with Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin has made no signals that he wants to join the G7 or G8 again. And I just think it makes the president of the United States of America look weak.

President Putin sat down with French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week and floated the idea of Russia rejoining the group, but with some conditions — conditions that Macron suggested, namely that there needs to be movement to end the conflict in Ukraine. So are you opposed to an invitation to join the G7 with some conditions?
No, I'm not opposed to that. Not just some conditions — necessary conditions — and I'm not optimistic that Putin would meet them. And I want to remind your listeners, Russia joined the G7 when Russia was on the road to becoming a democracy and integrating into the West. And for several years now they've been moving in an opposite direction. So if Russia, for some reason, after the Putin era would move back towards embracing democratic ideas and enhancing democratic institutions and integrating into the West, that's the right time to have that conversation. But just to bring them back in without them changing their behavior — I don't think that serves America's national interests.
Related: Ambassador Huntsman: US-Russia estrangement ‘has gone on too long’
Speaking of American national interests, there have been all these attempts over the past 20 years under Putin at resetting diplomatic relations with Russia. Mostly they have seemed to fail, including under Obama when you were ambassador. Why?
Well, Marco, I see that history a little more with a lot more variation. I don't think it's been consistent failure. In the first years of the reset between President Obama and President [Dmitry] Medvedev — right, it wasn't President Putin — we accomplished concrete things. We signed the new START Treaty, getting rid of 30% of the nuclear weapons in the world. We got new sanctions — multilateral sanctions — on Iran. We got new supply routes to Afghanistan. All of those things — it's not about good relations, bad relations. I think this is a big misunderstanding about diplomacy. Obama engaged Medvedev to achieve concrete outcomes that President Obama believed were in America's national interest. And when we look today to President Trump's engagement with Putin, I'm hard pressed to think of one concrete outcome as a result of the "happy talk" that the two of them have now that has been good for the United States.
Related: 20 years of Putin in power: A timeline
So take the Medvedev relationship out of the mix. Do you think the answer to why several resets — maybe not all of them — have not succeeded ... is Putin?
Yes. I think a lot of it is about Putin's mindset. Fundamentally, he believes that the United States is an enemy of Russia. He believes that the United States is out to thwart Russian power and violate Russian sovereignty. You know, I dealt with him up front and personal on this. You know, if you have that mindset about us, it's very difficult to find win-win outcomes in dealing with Putin right now.

Price Bailey raise over £12,000 for Action Medical Research by cycling from London to Paris
On 24 July, a team of seven from Price Bailey Chartered Accountants took part in the London to Paris cycle to raise money for Action Medical Research.
Cycling 271 miles over four days, the team consisting of Milly Dove, Suzanne Goldsmith, Romeo Nazareth, Simon Rowley, Kirsty Warner, Tristan Wheadon and Paul Fox, left London and battled through 40 degree heat to make it to Dover before crossing the channel. Once in Calais, France, they pedalled to Abbeville then Beauvais before arriving in Paris on Saturday 27 July.
The money raised from the cycle ride will go towards Action’s ‘Saving Tiny Lives’ campaign which funds vital research and develops treatments, vaccinations and cures for pregnancy and birth complications. Action Medical Research has been funding research for over 65 years and has, most notably, played significant roles in the development the first polio vaccines in the UK, the use of ultrasound in pregnancy, and the rubella vaccine.
Action Medical Research’s Community Fundraising Manager, Lyndsay Wood, said: “Action Medical Research is thrilled to have seven cyclists from Price Bailey take part in the London to Paris cycle. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Action’s involvement in the event, and to have riders from our charity partner is a fantastic way for them to support us with our ‘Saving Tiny Lives’ campaign, and helping us to raise awareness of premature birth, that still affects over 60,000 babies each year.”.
James King, Corporate Social Responsibility Partner at Price Bailey said: “This time last year, many members of the team didn’t own a bike; they have proven that with hard work and training, anything is achievable. They have thrown themselves into this challenge and have raised a fantastic amount of money for a very worthy cause.
“So far Price Bailey have raised over £75,000 for Action which has specifically been used to fund research as part of their ‘Saving Tiny Lives’ campaign. This has improved and saved the lives of premature babies.”

Black Male Persistence in Spite of Facing Stereotypes in College: A Pnenomenological Exploration
By Boyd, Taylor Benjamin Hardy; Mitchell, Donald, Jr.
Black males are often negatively stereotyped in college settings. Given this, the threatening environments created by stereotypes can affect Black males' academic success while they are enrolled at a college or university. Steele and Aronson (1995) have referred to this threatening environment driven by negative stereotypes as stereotype threat. When the presence of Black males on college campuses is continually questioned, they often battle internal and external pressures related to their academic ability and performance in college as a result of racialized stereotypes, hindering their true intellectual ability and potential (Museus, 2008; Steele, 2010; Steele & Aronson, 1995).
Harper (2006a, 2006b) has stated that Black males are consistently overlooked, undermined, and stereotyped as uneducated, lazy, and violent. Further, Steele (2010) contends that the social and psychological processes stereotypes induce often lead to lower rates of academic success and performance for Black males enrolled in college. Thus, the barriers fueled by racial stereotypes that Black male students face contribute to their social, psychological, and academic development in college. For example, Black males face challenges pertaining to campus racial climates, self-esteem, sense of belonging, co-curricular involvement and engagement, academic achievement, faculty/staff relationships, and persistence (Harper, 2015; Steele, 2010; Steele & Aronson, 1995; Tinto, 1993). In turn, disparities related to these various factors, among others, create disparities in rates of retention, graduation, persistence, and the overall success of Black males in college in comparison to their collegiate counterparts (Berryhill & Bee, 2007; Harper, 2006a; Steele, 1999, 2010; Steele & Aronson, 1995).
The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of Black males in college regarding the academic, social, and psychological influences stereotypes have on Black male achievement in college. Further, this study examined how Black males persist through college despite facing stereotypes. Finally, this study sought to identify strategies that may prove effective when responding to or dealing with racial stereotypes. The research questions that guided this study were:
* What stereotypes do Black males experience in college?
* What are the perceptions of Black males in college regarding the influences that stereotypes have on Black male achievement in college?
* In what ways are Black males persisting in college in spite of facing stereotypes?
The longstanding issue of student persistence consists of countless identifiers that may or may not contribute to a student's ability to graduate from college. For instance, Astin's (1984) theory of involvement highlighted the significance of co-curricular engagement in student success, while Tinto's (1993) theory of student departure related student persistence to separation, transition, and incorporation into the collegiate environment. Similar to Astin, Tinto placed precedence on the relationship between co-curricular involvement and student persistence. However, Tinto also originally suggested that students must separate, transition, and incorporate into the collegiate realm if they were to persist through college. While Tinto's original work is compelling, in his revised work, Tinto (2006-2007) contended that underrepresented student populations--primarily composed of students of color--should, in fact, remain connected to past communities, churches, tribes, or family as an essential part of their persistence through college. For Black males specifically, Harper (2006b) also noted that these support systems are an essential part of their persistence to and through the collegiate realm.
Although these theories have provided insight regarding how and why students persist, gaps remain in the rates of persistence among students of color, specifically Black males. …

Standard Warranty and Liability Terms
Who is Quha Zono for ?
Quha Zono is made for everyone who cannot or does not want to use the standard computer input devices. Typically the users are people with
Tetraplegia
Dysmelia
Cerebral palsy (CP)
Is Quha Zono a medical device?
Quha Zono is registered as a class I medical device, registration number FI-CA01-2013-2035, by the Finnish National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health.
It is in conformity with the European Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices for Class I devices. The device is classified as a Class I device by virtue of Rule 1 and Rule 12, no other rules apply.
Is Quha Zono compatible with Apple computers?
Yes, Quha Zono is compatible with Apple computers with MacOS operating system. Quha Zono is also compatible with iPads with the iPadOS 13 operating system and iPhones with the iOS 13 or later operating system. iPads starting from iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4 can be updated to iPadOS. iPhones starting from iPhone 6S can be updated to iOS 13. For users with an older iOS device that cannot be updated to iPadOS or iOS 13, an alternative way to use the Quha Zono mouse is to use the AMAneo BTi adapter.
On a Mac computer the Quha Zono is a plug-and-play mouse device and doesn’t require any settings to be made. You plug the USB receiver into a USB port, turn on the power and it works.
If you wish you can change the mouse speed on the System preferences/Mouse. The more advanced settings are done using the Zono Setup and Zono Installation applications on a Windows computer. The settings are stored on the mouse, so these changes can be done on any Windows computer and the settings are remembered when the mouse is moved back to a Mac computer. At this point there is no native MacOS application for changing the Quha Zono settings.
What makes Quha Zono different?
Quha Zono has several advantages compared to all competitive products on the market.
How can I make a click?
There are several ways to make a click. Please consult the below table to find the most suitable option for you.
How does the double click assist work?
The double click assist helps the user to make a double click using Quha Pufo puff switch or an external switch. Normally it can be very difficult to make a double click, because Windows requires that the cursor is not moving between the clicks. The double click assist freezes the cursor after the first click for a time period that has been set up by Quha Zono setup software.
How does the auto-click work?
When Zono’s auto-click is switched on, it makes automatically a left click when the mouse cursor is still for a moment.
Auto-click (feature that performs a single left mouse button click) happens when
cursor movement is slower than the threshold that is set by setup software “Auto-click Sensitivity” setting and
the time set by “Auto-click Speed” setting is exceeded.
After the auto-click has been performed, the next auto-click doesn’t happen before the cursor movement exceeds the “Auto-click Sensitivity” setting value once. This is to prevent multiple sequential auto-clicks when the cursor is stationary.
What options there are for dwell click?
There are many possibilities:
Windows: There are several options, for example Quha Dwell software. You can also use Sensory Software’s Dwell Clicker 2 and Point-N-Click software made by Polital Enterprises LLC.
macOS 10.14 Mojave or newer: Dwell selection functionality is part of the accessibility settings in System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Keyboard -> Accessibility Keyboard -> Options
macOS Sierra 10.12 or High Sierra 10.13: Dwell selection functionality is part of the accessibility settings and can be activated in System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Dwell Control
macOS Mavericks 10.9 to El Capitan 10.11: DwellClick App can be purchased in the macOS App Store
Chrome OS: Dwell selection can be activated in Accessibility -> Automatic clicks
Android: EaseMouse application can be purchased from Play Store or from Quha
iPad: iPadOS 13: Settings App -> Accessibility -> Touch -> AssistiveTouch > Dwell Control
How do I scroll in Android?
The easiest way to scroll a window is to use a dedicated switch such as Quha Sento or Quha Pufo+. Move the cursor to the area that you want to scroll, drag in the direction you want to scroll to and release dragging.
You can also use dedicated automatic scrolling software to scroll a window. Software can be downloaded from Google Play Store. For example the following apps can be used.
Automatic Scroll
Tap Scroll
How can I make an automatic double click?
You can do all different mouse clicks and control your computer with Quha Dwell – a complete computer access software with Instant Dwell.
For Mac OS X we recommend software called DwellClick. There is a free trial version available on their webpages.
What are the vibration attenuations 1, 2 and 3?
The vibration attenuation filters are all based on different mathematical algorithms.
Algorithm 1 removes continuous vibration by slowing down the changes of the mouse speed. It makes the movements smoother, though also less accurate.
Algorithm 2 is a generic filter, which removes both vibration and rapid movements.
Algorithm 3 removes sudden fast movements.
Please feel free to explore all vibration attenuation options to find the most suitable option for you.
How can I be sure that the settings are stored in Quha Zono, because there is no OK or Apply button?
The OK and Apply buttons are purposely left out. The settings are stored in Quha Zono mouse right after they are made on the Quha Zono setup software. This way it is easy to see the effect of the setting immediately making it easier to find the correct settings for the user.
Why does it take a while until the mouse cursor starts to move when Quha Zono is moved?
Quha Zono has a built in energy saving feature. Normally Quha Zono responds immediately to any movement by the user. When the mouse has been stationary for about 10 seconds, it automatically starts saving energy to maintain maximum usage time. When the user moves the mouse again, the mouse automatically resumes standard operation. There may be a small delay in the cursor movement when this happens.
Why is my mouse not charging when it is connected to USB charging cable?
Quha Zono shows a blinking green light on the power button when charging is ongoing. If the light is not blinking, it means that the mouse is not charging. There can be multiple reasons for this.
The battery is already full.
The USB charging cable doesn’t provide charging current. The most common reason for this is the USB charging cable being connected to a USB port without power. Most modern computers have power saving features that turn off power on the USB ports when the computer is sleeping. Please connect the charging cable to a USB port that is always on. Recharging the Quha Zono battery from empty to full takes about 4 hours. Common USB chargers can also be used to charge Quha Zono.
Can I use two USB receivers with one Quha Zono mouse?
Yes. You can order a Quha Zono with two USB receivers to be used with two different computers. For example, if you use a computer in the living room and a tablet in the bedroom, you can connect the USB receivers in both devices and use them with one Quha Zono mouse. However, you should turn off the device that you are not using if it is within the usage range, because otherwise the mouse movements and button clicks are received by both devices.
Why is the cursor moving when I am not moving the mouse?
The Quha Zono mouse has a motion sensor that detects the mouse movements and transforms these movements into cursor motion. The motion sensor is a highly accurate electric component and is affected by ambient temperature among other things. On those very rare occasions when the cursor starts to “drift”, the device can be calibrated by holding the mouse stationary for a few seconds. The easiest way to do this is to place the mouse on a table while it is on. The drifting is then automatically removed in a few seconds.
How do I center the cursor onscreen?
Readjusting the mouse by pushing the mouse cursor off screen is the standard way of repositioning the mouse cursor. If you notice your head is not in a comfortable position when the cursor is in the middle of the screen, turn your head so that the cursor moves to the edge of the screen and beyond. The amount of head movement needed depends on the mouse speed settings and you’ll quickly learn to reposition the cursor by experimenting. The repositioning movement corresponds to lifting and moving a table mouse when it is near a table edge. As the Quha Zono doesn’t use a fixed reference point or position to operate, sometimes it is necessary to make the repositioning movement.
Why does Zono turn itself off before 30 hours have passed? The battery has been charged before usage.
Quha Zono has a rechargeable battery that provides approximately 30 hours of active usage time. The most common reason for Zono turning itself off before 30 hours have passed is partially charged battery. Please check that the Zono battery is charged using a USB port that is powered when the computer is on standby / powered off. Powered USB ports are usually marked with discernible colours or other markings.
My USB receiver is connected to the computer, but I can’t see the cursor on screen.
There are several possible causes for this.
Is the Quha Zono mouse turned on? The cursor is visible only when the mouse is turned on. The Quha Zono power button has a light indicator that blinks every few seconds when the device is on.
Do the Quha Zono mouse and the USB receiver have the same serial number on them? The mouse and the USB receiver are paired based on their serial number. Only devices with identical serial numbers communicate with each other.
Is the USB receiver connected to the computer and is the computer’s USB port working? If another USB device works on the USB port, it is likely that the USB port is ok.
USB receiver may be broken. For example, the USB connector may have gotten detached from the circuit board. In this case, the USB receiver needs to be repaired.
Quha Zono may be broken. In this case, it needs to be repaired.
Can I use Quha Zono Setup software with my Windows XP?
Yes, it works on Windows XP SP3 with .NET framework 3.5.
Quha Zono setup software requires Microsoft .NET framework to work. The latest .NET frameworks are not supporting Windows XP anymore, hence you need to download an older version, e.g. .NET 3.5 at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22. However, please note that Windows XP is not anymore supported by Microsoft, and therefore we are not able to provide the official support for it on Quha Zono setup software.

Nina Luna Releases Anthem of Empowerment In New Track ‘Red Flags’
by QWEERIST editor September 2, 2018, 9:28 am 1.5k Views
Discovering the signs that you’re in a negative relationship can be tough, just ask singer-songwriter Nina Luna.
Her new single ‘Red Flags’ is a brooding yet upbeat anthem about moving on from negative relationships in order to do better for yourself. Luna is originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but now resides in New York City with occasional stints in Los Angeles.
If you’re a fan of MUNA and Broods, then chances are that you’re gonna feel ‘Red Flags’. The track, which was written, recorded, mixed, and produced by Luna herself, is a perfect example of her ability to combine elements of electro, folk and R&B together in order to create an introspective, ethereal pop sound.
‘Red Flags’ was released on Friday, which also happened to be Nina’s birthday. Speaking about the track’s release, the singer said: “Today is my birthday and I am feeling extremely happy and grateful for everything life has brought and is about to bring this year.
“On that note, I decided to release a new song about aiming higher and saying goodbye to negative people and attitudes once and for all.”

The Expert's Travel Guide to Peru - Classic Vs Off The Beaten Track
By Emma Brisdion
Peru is a country truly spoiled by Mother Nature
Adventure is abundant within its borders; experience everything from jagged mountain ranges and stretching Altiplano plains to striking coastlines and communities whose feet remain firmly planted in colourful ancient culture.
From the spectacular ancient Inca settlement of Machu Picchu perched high in the soaring Andean peaks to virgin Amazonian rainforest and tribal villages, a Peru holiday promises adventure amidst dramatic landscapes. With new direct flight routes being announced and a blossoming reputation within the culinary world, there’s no better time to book a visit to one of South America’s most vibrant countries. Home to the captivating combination of fascinating ancient culture with a stunning natural backdrop, Peru has more than enough to whet the appetite of any thrill-seeking traveller.
Visit Lima and Cuzco to explore cosmopolitan cities, charming mountain villages and the mysterious ruins of lost civilisations for a taste of Peru’s rich cultural heritage. Follow Incan tracks through the craggy peaks of Vilcabamba, hop aboard a train through the Sacred Valley and brave bridges stretching over colossal Colca canyons where Andean condors soar overhead.
Our experts pick the four places you can’t miss on a trip to Peru, but also some of lesser known cities, culture and stretches of unspoilt beauty to consider.
LIMA, or NORTHERN PERU?
Both the old and the new collide to contrast and compliment in Lima. Rising high on the cliff tops overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Lima blends sophisticated metropolitan streets with colonial facades and ancient temples. Rich history is everywhere, with architecture dating back over five centuries and the stately Gold and Larco Herrera museums filled with archaeological finds for a glimpse into Peru’s Inca past. But you’ll also find the best of a Peru that’s increasingly confident of its 21st century style. Head to the bohemian Barranco district for hip galleries and contemporary art tucked between laid back lounges serving up joyful Pisco sours. Creeping onto the global fine-dining radar, Lima is home to world class cuisine; with Central voted Latin America’s No 1 restaurant in 2015.
OR NORTHERN PERU
If an authentic, crowd-free view of Peru is what you’re after, head to northern Peru. Rich in pre-Columbian history spend a day exploring the colourful colonial church-lined streets of Trujillo, a city that has barely changed in hundreds of years before delving further into the history books and visiting the vast ruins of an ancient adobe Chimor mud city at Chan Chan. Explore the little-known sacred Moche Pyramids before travelling to the impressive Moche Sun and Moon Temples, home to fantastically preserved, ornately decorated frieze walls.
CUZCO & SACRED VALLEY, or AREQUIPA / COLCA CANYON?
CUZCO & SACRED VALLEY
Once the capital of the Inca Empire Cuzco is the archaeological capital of South America. The terracotta roofed town sprawls through the valley high in the Peruvian Andes and the town’s striking architecture reflects the distinct periods of Peru’s history – combining pre-Columbian and Spanish colonial history with contemporary modern development. Baroque-style churches, monasteries and squat white-washed houses were built over the Inca settlements. Visit the impressive Plaza de Armas, a lively open courtyard overlooked by the Cuzco Cathedral and join locals sipping their mate de coca. This is also a great base for exploring Machu Picchu and other Inca ruins within the valley.
OR AREQUIPA / COLCA CANYON
The Colca Canyon dominates Peru’s southern region, where Andean Condors soar high above the world’s deepest canyons and indigenous cultures live in valleys still lined with Inca agricultural terraces. Wander through Arequipa’s pretty colonial architecture overlooked by the towering El Misti volcano and if you’ve a strong stomach, visit the Ica Juanita mummy – the preserved body of a girl sacrificed at the summit of Nevado Ampato.
MACHU PICCHU, or NAZCA?
One of the most distinguishable sights in the travelling world, the spectacular ruins of Machu Picchu Inca settlement are perched high in the Andes and command their position at the top spot of every traveller’s South America ‘to-do list’. Only accessible on foot, following the Inca Trail, or by train, the journey to reach the continent’s best-known archaeological site is as memorable as the view at the summit. The lost city of the Incas was only discovered by American Explorer, Hiram Bingham, in 1911 and now the extensive citadel in all of its fantastically preserved stonework glory is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site.
OR NAZCA?
Less well known, but no less impressive are the Nazca lines. These ancient geoglyphs, patterns and images etched into the landscape stretch across southern Peru’s Nazca Desert, so take to the skies as this spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site is best viewed from the air. Once you’ve spent an afternoon sandboarding down the desert dunes, visit the Ballestas Island, known as ‘the poor man’s Galapagos’ thanks to its abundant wildlife and seal populations.
LAKE TITICACA, or THE AMAZON?
Straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia and under the dazzling blue skies high in the Andes Mountains, the vast shimmering body of water of Lake Titicaca is the largest navigable lake in the world. According to ancient Andean beliefs, Titicaca is the birthplace of the sun. The lake and its shores have been settled by a succession of cultures for centuries and colourful local communities still farm the surrounding fields by hand accompanied, of course, by iconic tame llamas. Take to the deep waters and visit the floating reed communities – indigenous people still live on the island of Uros, while Taquile offers sweeping panoramas across the lake.
OR THE AMAZON
The Amazon may not be off the beaten track, but it’s not often on visitors itineraries on a trip to Peru. Peru is actually home to the second-largest portion of the Amazon Rainforest after Brazil, and this vast expanse of primary rainforest is easily accessible from either Lima or Cuzco. There is little that needs to be said about one of the world’s great wildernesses, trek through the forest and listen to the cacophony of noise from the harpy eagles, capybara and toucans that make up the abundant wildlife and bird species at sunrise, and visit clay lick – where copper-coloured cliffs attract thousands of birds.

Let (Y, (Xi)1≤i≤p) be a real zero mean Gaussian vector and V be a subset of {1, …, p}. Suppose we are given n i.i.d. replications of this vector. We propose a new test for testing that Y is independent of (Xi)i∈{1, …, p}∖V conditionally to (Xi)i∈V against the general alternative that it is not. This procedure does not depend on any prior information on the covariance of X or the variance of Y and applies in a high-dimensional setting. It straightforwardly extends to test the neighborhood of a Gaussian graphical model. The procedure is based on a model of Gaussian regression with random Gaussian covariates. We give nonasymptotic properties of the test and we prove that it is rate optimal [up to a possible log(n) factor] over various classes of alternatives under some additional assumptions. Moreover, it allows us to derive nonasymptotic minimax rates of testing in this random design setting. Finally, we carry out a simulation study in order to evaluate the performance of our procedure.

Diary: Slice gets on side of Euro 2004 action
With just over a fortnight until Euro 2004, one PR agency getting closer than most to the action is youth specialist Slice, which is promoting England's official Euro 2004 single All Together Now.
Slice is working for both the FA and Demon Music Group to promote the song - a reworked version of The Farm's 1990 indie classic that hits the shelves on Monday.
The agency has already handled a photocall involving coach Sven-Goran Eriksson, DJ Spoony and The Farm's Peter Hooton at the single's launch.
But what about involvement from the players? Why can't Michael Owen treat us to a 21st Century version of John Barnes's classic rap for 1990 World Cup England song World in Motion?
Slice account director Adam Rutherford tells us that the single and video had to be completed before Sven finalised his squad - but he says the video may be reshot, hopefully featuring more of the players, if the song 'goes Top 5'.
But with just a week between next week's chart positions being confirmed and England's opener against France, surely Sven will frown upon such frivolity?
'Sven has been very supportive - where there's a will, there's a way,' trills Rutherford, already packing his suitcase for a 'press trip' to Sardinia, where Owen et al were training as PRWeek went to press.

US NHL
Acciari's first hat trick takes Panthers past Senators
Noel Acciari, who had never produced a multi-goal game in his NHL career, posted a hat trick to lead the Florida Panthers to a 6-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Monday night in Sunrise, Fla.

Jonathan Huberdeau added a career-high four assists, and the Panthers scored five goals in the second for their biggest period of the season. Huberdeau leads the Panthers with 41 points.
Prior to the game, Panthers coach Joel Quenneville changed his lines, putting center Vincent Trocheck together with Acciari and Huberdeau, and the move worked.
Huberdeau, playing in his 500th career game, finished the night with 400 points.
Acciari, a 28-year-old grinder in his fifth NHL season, has eight goals this season — two more than he had last season with the Boston Bruins. His career high is 10, set in 2017-18.
The Panthers also got goals from Aleksander Barkov, Mike Matheson and Dominic Toninato. Barkov’s goal broke Florida’s 0-for-10 power-play drought.
The Panthers did all of the scoring without center Brian Boyle, who warmed up but was then scratched due to an upper-body injury.
Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, making his sixth straight start, recorded 29 saves in the win. It was the Panthers’ largest margin of victory this season, with the result snapping a three-game losing streak.
Ottawa got a goal from Artem Anisimov, and Anders Nilsson made 25 saves.
Florida opened the scoring with 10:18 left in the first period. Acciari alertly spotted a loose puck just outside the crease and shoveled it in as Keith Yandle got the primary assist.
The Panthers made it 2-0 at 1:18 of the second. Huberdeau skated around Ottawa’s defense with a shot fake before serving Acciari, who had a wide-open left side for the score.
Anisimov, from just below the right circle, scored 47 seconds later on a pass from Tyler Ennis, cutting Ottawa’s deficit to 3-1.
After Ennis’ second penalty of the game — this time for tripping Trocheck — Barkov scored his power-play goal from the doorstep on another pass from Huberdeau at 5:41.
At 10:33 of the second, Nilsson saved a MacKenzie Weegar shot, and Acciari pounced on the rebound, lifting it for a goal. He then flashed a teeth-missing smile in realization of his hat trick.
The Panthers completed their second-period onslaught with a one-timer from Matheson at 15:06 — following a Huberdeau pass — and a Toninato redirection at 19:28.

Dongfeng and PSA extend joint venture despite stake sale to smooth mega-merger
Yilei Sun, Gilles Guillaume
BEIJING/PARIS (Reuters) - China’s Dongfeng Motor Group (0489.HK) and Peugeot maker PSA (PEUP.PA) are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker’s merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).

Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA).
Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA’s new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said.
PSA was not immediately available for comment.
The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company.
Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA’s roughly $50 billion merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA (FCHA.MI) (FCAU.N).
The sale of Dongfeng’s shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world’s fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes.
“As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China,” a Dongfeng representative said.
On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA’s Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA.
Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.

Non Championship Contender – Surtees Cosworth TS16 #TS16-04
1974 looked promising for the Surtees Racing Organisation despite the fact they were running on the unfavoured Firestone tyres they replaced the McLaren bound Mike Hailwood by promoting their 1973 Formula 2 driver Jochen Mass to a full time drive alongside the rapid Brazilian Carlos Pace.
The team had a new car in the form of the TS16, that was lighter than the previous TS14 model on which it was based.
Shortly after the start of the season at the South African Grand Prix they announced Hi Fidelity manufactures Bang & Olufsen as primary sponsor alongside toy manufacturer Matchbox and the Fina fuel brand.
However despite the good omens of a championship high 4th place finish for Carlos in the Brazilian GP and season high 2nd place finish for Jochen in the non championship International Trophy at Silverstone the season turned into a disaster.
The main reason for this was that no monies were forth coming from primary sponsor Bang & Olufsen and after the Swedish Grand Prix Carlos Pace left to eventually join Carlos Reuteman at Brabham while Jochen left after the German Grand Prix and eventually replaced the injured Mike Hailwood at McLaren.
A third privately entered TS16 run by AAW racing for Leo Kinnunen failed to qualify on all but one of 6 attempts and retired when it did qualify, and drivers Derek Bell, José Dolhem, Jean-Pierre Jabouille, Dieter Quester and Helmut Koinigg brought into replace Jochen and Carlos managed a best 9th, Quester in Austria, place finish between them. At the season final US Grand Prix the luckless Helmut was then killed in an accident.
Jochen Mass drove today’s featured chassis six times in 1974 retiring from five of the races and failing to qualify at Monaco, Derek Bell failed to qualify the car on his final championship Grand Prix appearance at the 1974 Canadian Grand Prix while José Dolhem qualified the car, on his third Grand Prix attempt, for the 1974 US Grand Prix from which he withdrew after team mate Helmut Koinigg’s fatal accident.
For 1975 Surtess regrouped by running a single TS16 for John Watson with Goodyear providing the tyres after Firestone’s withdrawal and a bare minimum of sponsorship from Matchbox who ironically were by now selling 1/32nd scale plastic kits of the 1974 Bang & Olufsen TS16.
The teams luck continued in the non championship races with today’s featured chassis #TS16-04 being driven to a 2nd place finish in the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch, a 4th place finish in the International Trophy at Silverstone and TS16-05 being driven to a fifth place finish in the non championship 1975 Swiss Grand Prix run at Dijon in France.
In the championship events however the teams best result came when John drove TS16-04 to an 8th place finish at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix which proved to be this cars final Grand Prix appearance.
John Watson left the Surtees team to replace the fatally injured Mark Donohue at Penske for the Canadian Grand Prix by which time Surtees had temporarily withdrawn from the championship in order to regroup again with a far more competitive prophylactic sponsored car for 1976.
TS16-04 is seen in these photographs being driven by Simon Fish at a Silverstone Classic Press Day several years ago, if you have the correct grade licence the car can be hired for Masters and GP Classic racing from Mirage Engineering see this link.
Thanks for joining me for this “Non Championship Contender” edition of “Gettin’ a li’l psycho on tyres” I hope you will join me again tomorrow when I’ll be returning to Maserati Monday’s. Don’t forget to come back now !

A Short Tale – Porsche 917K #917-015
Despite the success of winning the 1969 International Championship for Makes handsomely with a maximum of 45 points with their 3 litre/183 cui 908 model Porsche officially withdrew from the series with two rounds to go having failed to win any of the three marquee events of the series at Daytona, won by Roger Penske’s Lola Chevrolet T70, Sebring and Le Mans won by John Wyers ancient Gulf Sponsored Ford GT40 Mk I’s.
Porsche came to an agreement with John Wyer to run a works supported team of 917’s in all but the Targa Florio and Nurburgring rounds of the 1970 series where the 908 was deemed sufficiently competitive to win outright as it had the previous season.
John Wyers JW Automotive Team tested a 917 at Zeltweg in October 1969 and developed the Kurz Heck, also known as K, KH and Short Tale bodywork seen on today’s featured car, the rear aerofoil would first appear mid season at Le Mans.
The first round of the 1970 International Championship for Makes was the 24 hour race at Daytona where Pedro Rodriguez Leo Kinnunen and Brian Redman qualified chassis #917-015 2nd behind the debutant Ferrari 512S model driven by Mario Andretti, Arturo Merzario and Jacky Ickx.
Pedro, Leo and Brian won the race by 45 laps from the sister car shared by Brian and Jo Siffert with the Ferrari of Mario, Art and Jacky 3 laps further back.
Chassis #015 was used as a team spare at Sebring where Mario Mario was drafted in to join Ignazio Giunti and Nino Vaccarella to drive the race of his life to secure Ferrari’s only championship win of the season.
At the 1970 Watkins Glen Can Am round chassis #015 made it’s only other race appearance of the season with a smart new paint job and a rear wing fitted, Brian finished the race in seventh place and for the remainder of the season the car reverted to the role of team spare.
Porsche went on to secure the 1970 International Championship for Makes with a maximum 63 points from Ferrari, JW Automotive won seven of the ten races only being usurped by the Porsche Salzburg 917 at Le Mans. JW Automotive and Porsche Salzburg each won a race Targa Florio and Nurburgring respectively with the older 908 spyder model.
Now it get’s complicated Porsche sold the chassis #015 to the Finish AAW team while retaining the chassis tag which Porsche reassigned to #917-035 which was taken from stock and given to JW Automotive for the 1971 season.
AAW rebuilt chassis #015 into a spyder and fitted the motor from their 917 chassis number #917-021, the complete car was given the identity #917-01-021.
Leo Kinnunen, who remember had won the 1970 Daytona 24 hours in the chassis with it’s orignal ID tag, was employed to drive #917-01-021 in the 1971 Interserie Championship, a European unlimited series.
The flying Fin Leo scored an outright win at home in Keimola with enough further placings to secure the 1971 Interserie Championship.
Many years later Kevin and Bob Rapp took #01-021 to Gunnar Racing who reconstructed #015 as it is seen in today’s photograph’s, using those parts of the original #917-015 chassis that remained and reconstructed the spyder #917-01-021 from the remainder with a new chassis.
Using respected historian Doug Nye’s principal that a chassis history is not transferable, with it’s chassis plate for example, then today’s featured car can be seen as the original #917-015, though I suspect the Porsche #917-035 which was given the #015 tag by the factory in 1971 probably still has that tag attached, 035/015 which is most certainly not the car that won the 1970 Daytona 24 hour race, today can be seen at the Porsche Museum.
My thanks to Geoffrey Horton for sharing today’s photographs of Bruce Canepa’s Porsche 917 at Niello Concours at Serrano a couple of years ago.
Thanks for joining me on this “A Short Tale” edition of “Gettin’ a li’l psycho on tyres” I hope you will join me again tomorrow. Don’t for get to come back now.

Chint’s 103 MW Dutch solar park will use Astronergy panels
Chinese module maker announces start of construction on big project in the Netherlands weeks after announcing production of solar panels at its German Astronergy unit would be halted.

It was not clear whether all of the 430,000 panels required would come from Astronergy’s Frankfurt (Oder) facility.

With German-based PV module maker Astronergy yet to confirm when production will cease at its Frankfurt (Oder) production facility, its Chinese parent Chint has found a way to soak up some of its panel stockpile.
Shanghai-based Chint, which last month said it would halt production in Germany with the loss of more than 200 of the site’s 230 jobs, has announced the start of construction on its 103 MW Midden-Groningen solar park in the Netherlands.
Announcing the landmark at what it described as “one of the biggest Dutch solar parks of 2019”, Chint said it would use 430,000 Astronergy panels on the 116 ha site near the A7 at Hoogezand Sappemeer, although it did not specify whether they would all come from its German facility.
Chint said it acquired rights to develop the project from Dutch company Powerfield in 2016 and Goldbeck Solar and Greencells will carry out construction with ABB Netherlands to build a private substation and Alsema to supply a high voltage line to transmission system operator TenneT’s substation at Kropswolde.
TenneT and rival Enexis made headlines last month when they said PV was expanding too rapidly in the Netherlands to be accommodated in their grid networks. At the time, TenneT explained there was some, limited, capacity for new renewables at Kropswolde but other areas of Groningen – as well as Drenthe and Overijssel – were already at capacity.
Chint said the Midden-Groningen project is expected to be completed this year and will supply the annual power needs of 35,000 households.

regarding the claim advanced by the Turkish authorities for the registration of
Sheikh Mubarak as an Ottoman subject as a proceeding necessary to the legal

2. In my letter No. 444, dated the 7th August 1909, I reported that the

Mubarak’s registration as a Turkish subject had not been pressed.

Mubarak of what is known as the Fadbagiya property of the az-Zuhair family,

out of the purchase of that property alone and not with the Sheikh’s Fao
estates. In recent conversations the Sheikh mentioned tba^ the Turkish
officials were not as complacent as formerly towards him and his properties and
eventually he furnished me with copies (I have not seen the originals) of the
sale-deeds of the Fadhagiya property, and it will suffice if the following points
from them are noted:—
(a) That the Fadhagiya property was shared by various members of the
az-Zuhair family and therefore four separate sale-deeds became
(b) That the purchase by Sheikh Mubarak was completed on the 21st
Mohurrum 1327 (=14th February 1909), part of the price being
paid on the spot in cash and part by drafts due at various dates,
which the Sheikh informs me have all since been cashed.
(c) That one Abdul Wahab al-Kirtas acted in all except one case as the
attorney of the vendors.
(d) That in each sale-deed is contained a condition that the vendor or
his attorney, Abdul Wahab, shall arrange for the necessary
transfers in the registers of the Land Revenue Office (the Tapu

Budget & Finance Committee Discusses Electronic Health Record Project
By dskriloff on February 28, 2013 Comments
BY MICHAEL RICONDA
The Rockland County Legislature held a discussion on February 26 on upcoming updates to fully-electronic record-keeping systems within the Department of Health in line with federal Medicaid protocol.
Town of Orangetown Councilman and Assistant Director of MIS Application Development at Camp Venture Denis Troy presented a general overview of the project, which has been in planning since 2001 and will replace current legacy systems with new systems which accommodate electronic billing.
Also Included in the changeover will be technology updates for technicians and nurses to ensure easy access to up-to-date medical records. Most of what is in use for OMH are legacy systems.
Even if Summit Park nursing home is sold and its patients transferred to Nyack Hospital in 2014 as has been speculated, Troy explained the updates will still be an asset because it provides critical hospital functions and fulfills federal requirements, preserving $50 million in state funding.
“The [Summit Park] hospital may be sold by October of 2014, but the fact still remains that the Health Department will still be here, Mental Health outpatients will still be here, and whatever departments are left in the hospital will still be here,” Troy explained.
Before the project is complete, a consultant will be brought in next week to evaluate the current system over a period of six months and help the Department of Health develop sale requirements, find vendors, look at prices, and select vendor candidates.
Troy, who is also an Orangetown councilman, explained the study and will also add to the appeal of the hospital in a sale, providing crucial information on the system to potential buyers and possibly attracting to buyers accustomed to older record-keeping systems.
Legislator John Murphy, who brought the discussion to the legislature, emphasized the rapid but necessary nature of the changes and urging support for reasonable financial requests.
“They deserve a lot of support,” said Murphy, who represents parts of Orangetown in the County Legislature.
Joining Murphy was Legislator Jay Hood, who remarked on the expensive nature of the project, but argued for the legislature’s need to be consistent in spending on critical items.

OAKLAND (BCN)
Right-wing activist Kyle Chapman, who faces a felony charge of possession of a leaded cane for allegedly brandishing a leaded stick at a rally in Berkeley in March, was remanded into custody today after a judge said he violated an order not to possess any weapons.
Chapman, a 41-year-old Daly City man, had been free on $135,000 bail since shortly after charges were filed against him in August but Alameda County Superior Court Judge Yvonne Northridge increased it to $400,000 today.
Prosecutor Chris Cavagnaro said Chapman's possession of a Kubotan self-defense key chain is "a clear, willing and knowing violation" of another judge's order that he not possess any weapons as a condition of his bail and asked that his bail be increased to $500,000.
Chapman, who also goes by the name "Based Stick Man," said in a video that he posted on his Facebook account earlier today that he had a Kubotan key chain, which is about five inches long and is made of a hard high-impact plastic and lined with grooves, because he's been attacked by antifa activists.

Chapman alleged that the prosecution's request to increase his bail to $500,000 "is purely politically-motivated" because he said that amount is usually only set for murder suspects.
He said his previous bail of $135,000 was "already astronomical" for what he described as "a billy club charge."
The Alameda County District Attorney's Office filed the felony charge against Chapman for his actions at the "March 4 Trump" rally at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley on March 4 in which Trump supporters clashed with counter-protesters.
There were multiple instances of violence between the two groups and Chapman was identified as one of the people causing violence, Berkeley police Officer Darrin Rafferty wrote in a probable cause statement.
A man later identified as Chapman who was wearing a black baseball helmet, goggles and a backpack with metal buckles sprayed what appeared to be pepper spray into a crowd of protesters that Chapman's group had been arguing with, according to Rafferty.
A short time later "Chapman was involved in multiple altercations with many people" and "was swinging what appeared to be a wooden stick at many people," Rafferty wrote.
However, Rafferty wrote that it was unclear if Chapman hit anyone because the camera didn't stay focused on him during the altercation.
Rafferty said that after he reviewed videos of the clash at the rally, "it is clear that Chapman was in possession of a piece of wood that had been fashioned and carried as a weapon."
Defense lawyer John Noonan said at Chapman's hearing today, which was guarded by eight Alameda County sheriff's deputies, that Chapman carried the self-defense key chain because "he had to do something to defend himself" after he was attacked several times.
Northridge said, "It's unfortunate his car was broken into" but said she was concerned because Chapman has made threatening comments on his Facebook page, although she didn't disclose the specific words Chapman used.
Northridge said possessing the key chain "is what he's not supposed to be doing."
Prosecutors say that Chapman has two prior convictions, one for grand theft in San Diego County in 2001 and one for robbery in Texas in 1993.
Chapman is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 3 for a pretrial hearing.

Augmented Cities: A Q&A with Bruce Sterling
Chris Arkenberg| June 22, 2010 July 31, 2019
Today, Shareable.net publishes a new speculative fiction by Bruce Sterling, "The Exterminator's Want-Ad." To go along with that, we're republishing this Q&A between Chris Arkenberg and Bruce Sterling, which appeared last week on one of our favorite blogs, Boing Boing. Chris writes about Bruce, "Through an electric career as a science fiction author, cultural observer, and futures provocateur he's emerged as one of the most important voices of the nascent 21st century. He has a sharp wit, an impeccable turn of phrase, and a keen eye for spotting the most interesting and obscure trends before they hit the world stage. His 2009 novel, The Caryatids
, was released to glowing reviews by the likes of Cory Doctorow and Alex Steffen [and nominated yesterday for a John W. Campbell Memorial Award]. You can grab his daily brain feed over at the Wired blog, Beyond the Beyond. I got in touch with Sterling and asked some questions about cities…"
CA: What are some of the cities you find most interesting? Why?
BS: I go for Austin, Belgrade and Turin. Because I hang out there enough to have some idea of how they function. I'm also keen on the much bigger cities of Berlin, London, and Mumbai, but in a more detached way. I'm getting very interested in Sao Paolo lately.
CA: What do you see as some of the more valuable aspects of urbanization and some of the more dangerous?
BS: Well, the "valuable" aspect, or at least the interesting one, is that bigger towns are getting much more "urban-informatic" lately.There's a lot of innovation in the urban fabric these days. Cities also seem to have political energy in an era when nations are getting weaker every day. For instance, the UK is a creaking financial wreck while Boris Johnson's London is a freak scene.
The obviously dangerous aspect of modern cities is urban organized crime, narcoterror, low-intensity warfare, war in urban terrain, favela shoot-'em-ups, whatever faddish name the trouble has this year. Baghdad, Mogadishu, Grozny.
But I'd also like to point out that large financial centers in certain cities around the planet are certainly going to kill millions of us by destroying our social safety networks in the name of their imaginary financial efficiency. You're a thousand times more likely to die because of what some urban banker did in 2008 than from what some Afghan-based terrorist did in 2001. Financiers live in small, panicky urban cloisters, severely detached from the rest of mankind. They are living today in rich-guy ghetto cults. They are truly dangerous to our well-being, and they are getting worse and more extremist, not better and more reasonable. You're not gonna realize this havoc till you see your elderly Mom coughing in an emergency ward, but she's going there for a reason.
CA: Do you think governance can scale with the increasing size of megacities like Jakarta, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, & New York? Or are such cities doomed to increasing ferality?
BS: I don't think urban scale is a truly serious problem. Tokyo and Jakarta share the same scale, but not the same problems. There are plenty of cities that are getting *smaller* and have some awful problems, viz Detroit. There are many cities that have outgrown their old infrastructure and become huge squatter camps, but that's not inherently a scaling problem, it's a management problem.
CA: How do you think the psychogeography of the city might be affecting identity and tribalism? Do you suspect the trend is more towards collaboration or fragmentation?
BS: That word "psychogeography" probably means something, but guys who use it go out on Situationist drifts and look for urban ley-lines. I do a lot of similar activity, but I don't like to dignify it too much.
Modern large cities are the engines of globalization in the way that New York used to be an engine of Americanization. You look at New York back in the 1800s, obviously collaboration and fragmentation were going on there at the same time. Little Italy, Little Ukraine, whatever… but those sharp distinctions tended to melt with time. Cities that segregate their citizens into ghettos tend to go broke.
The infrastructure always ends up shaping people more than they think it will. Modern big city people tend to think and act like big-city people anywhere. A big-city New York guy sleeping in bus stations is as poor as his brother, some Deep South sharecropper. But the social chasm between those two people is immense.
CA: You talk about the favela chic expressions of the slums. In a world of increasing poverty do you see slums as incubators of the future or more as casualities of the past?
BS: To tell the truth, the slums are probably just as various as the cities. The slums were caused to exist for all kinds of different bad reasons. But the slums sure as hell have the birthrate to be the "incubator of the future." The slums are the nurseries of our planet. Why we allowed ourselves to let that happen, I dunno, but it's the truth.
CA: What, to you, are the most interesting possibilities of augmented reality, good or bad, for life in the city?
BS: Oh, it's all about those nifty little navigation apps. They've got the means, motive and opportunity right now. But you don't really need AR to do digital mapping of cities. AR comes more into its own with artsy, confrontational, bend-your-reality stuff. Like the Layar app that "shows" you the Berlin Wall in its fearsome glory as you are walking thoughtlessly through modern Berlin. Or the Museum of London "Streetmuseum" iPhone app that pastes historic photographs of London over the modern London you see in your iPhone screen.
Then there's the chance of turning urban billboards interactive, and augmenting them. Not too much of that going on yet, but it's a super-interesting idea. How come billboards are still so print-based and static? With displays as cheap as they are, paper billboards oughta be dying like newspapers.
CA: Finally, what song or artist comes to mind in your personal urban soundtrack?
BS: Two for the price of one: Ladytron, "High Rise" and "Fighting in Built-Up Areas."

Appellate Focus
Appeals Case History
Sean Connelly
At the federal and state appellate level, I work on challenging legal matters relating to clients and issues I support. To every matter I work on, I bring decades years of experience as an appellate law attorney and appellate law judge.
I have a blended career in both public service and private practice. I am a former Court of Appeals Judge and U.S. Justice Department prosecutor. As a prosecutor, I served as the lead appellate attorney for the Oklahoma City bombing cases and I was honored to receive the Department’s highest award. I opened Connelly Law in 2018 to focus on issues appellate cases that matter to me and to our community.
I enjoy working on interesting and significant appellate cases touching a variety of legal issues including:
a favorable decision in the Tenth Circuit that protects farms and homes from oil company intrusion;
a decision in the Colorado Supreme Court upholding reforms protecting juveniles from life without parole sentences;
a decision in the Colorado Court of Appeals to overturn the dismissal of a public utility’s $100 million lawsuit against an oil company; and
a decision in the Colorado appellate court which resulted in a $3 million judgment against a bad faith insurer and ended a decade of litigation.

Scout invents CO detector with fan (CT)
By RememberSchiff, September 12, 2019 in Open Discussion - Program
RememberSchiff 1962
old fogey nostalgic for the good old days
Jason DiRenza, a 10 year old Scout, has loved to tinker with tools and toys, a hobby that propelled him to the national stage with an invention designed to give people more time to escape houses that are filling with deadly carbon monoxide gas.
The Connecticut Safety Society honored him for the inclusion of safety, health, and environmental principles and ideologies into his invention, and he also received an award from the judges for the top invention in his judging circle
Jason said he got the idea for his invention over lunch one day with his family when a discussion came up about how, in a mishap that happened years ago, their home had filled with carbon monoxide and the fire department had to come and turn on a large fan to air it out.
Jason got to thinking, "why doesn't the house just already activate a fan instead?"
Thus began his work to create a model home, in which he installed a smoke detector — he used that instead of a more expensive carbon monoxide detector to cut costs — a fan, batteries, and a series of wires connecting them all.
When the detector goes off, a pulse is sent to the fan, turning it on and blowing carbon monoxide out of the house, allowing those inside more time to escape. His invention is able to funnel the carbon monoxide out of the home because it's installed near an air duct.

Kudos to the scout for his inquisitiveness and inventiveness.
The article doesn't really answer his original question, why doesn't the house activate a fan when there's a build up of CO. Does anyone know whether there would be a good reason not to have a CO alarm also trigger a fan, either a whole house fan or something attached to the HVAC system, to vent to the outside and begin reducing CO during an evacuation?
If CO was caused by structure fire, you would fan flames.
Edited September 12, 2019 by RememberSchiff
As part of Safety MB discussion, we experimented with CO detectors. With parent permission, scouts brought these residential monitors and these were placed in a boxed enclosure around a tailpipe. Engine running and after 45 minutes, none of detector alarms went off. A neighbor fireman brought the dept sniffer which said the box was over 800ppm. Around 55min some detector alarms went off.
The point was to show scouts that these CO are very slow to set off an alarm ("Alarm Response Time") and to consider how that would affect your family safety plan.
Here is a chart from Kidde website.
Carbon monoxide levels that will set off your alarm
Carbon Monoxide Level Alarm Response Time
40 PPM 10 hours
50 PPM 8 hours
70 PPM 1 to 4 hours
150 PPM 10 to 50 minutes
