Long Valley was the site of a landmark environmental legal hearing a few years ago. The Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (owned by the government) wanted to build a viaduct through the middle of the area. The HK Birdwatching Society led a campaign, supported by other green groups to oppose the project.
Remarkably, the environmentalists won, KCRC lost, and were required to build a tunnel UNDER Long Valley. This says a lot about the rule of law and independence of the judiciary in post-handover HK.
Anyhow, recent cutting of the rice stalks has been a windfall for both White-rumped and the odd Spotted Munia.
KCRC has been swallowed up by the Mass Transit Railway Corporation. Who'd have thought Long Valley would outlast it ?

Anyhow, the third Ashes Test gets under way on Thursday. I have so many memories of these contests, everything that happens this week will be coloured by thoughts of past matches.
WWK Hong Kong organised HK's first "Big Bird Race" fundraiser in 1985. By 1988, when I took these pics, about 12 teams were taking part and the individual and corporate sponsorship was over two million HK dollars just that year.
The fundraising went off the boil a bit when many of the most successful fundraising team members retired and left HK in the late 1990s.
In these straitened economic times, the WWF people have reconsidered their latter-day indifference to the Big Bird Race, and they're going to revive it in 2010.
Everyone was young, once upon a time.

The Internet and the mobile phone have opened up new ways for marketers to reach out to consumers. Several large companies, selling everything from manufactured goods to consumer products and services, are crafting innovative strategies around these. BT's Kushan Mitra reports.
Mayank Pareek’s job has been fairly easy of late. As Chief General Manager, Marketing, at the country’s largest automaker, Maruti-Suzuki, his job, of selling cars, has rarely been easier.
Despite rising commodity prices (and, thus, car prices) and stiff interest rates, cars are still moving out of showrooms rather fast. But, Pareek has not been resting, and Maruti has been playing around with the Internet—not just sticking up banner advertisements at large websites or text-based ads through Google AdSense—by encouraging his team to interact with consumers using a host of online services.
“We have put up videos on services such as YouTube and have actively seeded discussions on online forums using social media. This is where the consumers are, this is where they interact; so, it makes sense for us to have a group on Orkut or Facebook,” says Pareek.
When Maruti recently launched the Swift Dzire sedan, it had a comprehensive teaser campaign online and invited people who clicked through the campaign to watch a live webcast of the event, and, according to Pareek, over 80,000 people did. “We have found that a large majority of people who are buying the car were actually influenced by our online campaign and visited the products website.
Nokia India has successfully run campaigns riding the web, including an ongoing one (on http://www.remixrahmansada/) involving music composer A.R. Rahman where users can go online to a website, remix tracks from Rahman’s latest movie and win a session with the composer. “These campaigns have been hugely successful because we have added a social element in every contest by allowing peers to review entries,” Taneja says.
In fact, Group M, India’s largest media-buying house, has already seen a level of success in its mobile campaigns. “Last year, we did a campaign for ICICI Bank where we had to generate 20,000 leads. By placing ads on prominent mobile portals, we generated 72,000 leads in a month,” Thadani explains. But it is not just banner advertisements; Thadani also explains that Gupta’s idea of call-back tonebased advertising is not fantasy and can even be customised based on the caller’s profile.

We are somewhere in the jungle, deep in the heart of the cinematic and moral darkness that the movie industry has made of Vietnam. We are in the land of "Rambo: First Blood II" (citywide). Ominous Jerry Goldsmith music throbs. The air reeks with sweat and tangled foliage. A squad of Soviets is searching for one man, one walking hunk of slaughter and vengeance: John Rambo--beside whom Superman is a wimp and James Bond a Piccadilly hairdresser.
Their tread is soft, their faces wary. Rambo, armed with nothing but a knife, and bow and arrow, has already wasted at least a hundred of their best. He is obviously no one to be trifled with.
One of the soldiers pauses by an embankment of pure mud. Suddenly, the mud stirs. The mud breathes. The mud glares angrily at the marauding Soviet. The mud reaches out with one tawny mud-arm, throttles the invader and sends a hunting knife deep into his chest. Blood and mud commingle, and at last we see: This is no ordinary mudbank, this is the indefatigable Rambo, in another of his multitudinous (if muddy) disguises--Rambo the mud-man, battalion of one.
The absurdity of this sequence should alert you to the movie surrounding it. "Rambo" is an inane sequel to a fairly good melodrama; another example of an attempt to repeat an earlier success that goes wildly out of scale.
In "First Blood," Sylvester Stallone's Rambo was a disconsolate Vietnam vet who, pushed too far in a small Northwestern town, battled to the death with its police, and nearly won.
Somehow--perhaps because of Stallone's taciturn charisma, perhaps care in the direction, perhaps sheer speed--this incredible tale was made plausible. But nothing on earth, not even narration by Walter Cronkite, could perform that miracle here.
Now, Rambo is not battling a mere town, a mere police force, a mere highway patrol. Now he is battling the combined Soviet and Vietnamese armies--and his own Washington superiors as well. And, from Stallone's glower when he asks Green Beret commander Richard Crenna, "Are they gonna let us win this time?" we see that only "they" could stop him. Hand this man a switchblade and he could carve off the U.S.S.R. with one stroke and hurl it into space.
That's the problem with the movie. If a character can seemingly do anything, it's hard to feel tension or concern about his fate. (At least, Superman had kryptonite.) We are left with nothing but detached aesthetic appreciation: watching Rambo race through several million dollars worth of explosions and aerial attacks, coruscant fireballs billowing everywhere and bodies flying hither and yon. Except for anyone irretrievably into violent power fantasies, this will probably soon pall.
There's more than an addled premise (Rambo alone rescuing America's MIAs). There's the sort of love interest you thought vanished with Debra Paget's old Indian robes: the alleged Vietnamese guide Co Bao (Julia Nickson), who wears mascara and guerrilla pantaloons, has light eyes and speaks dialogue of the "we go now, forget me never" variety.
One cannot call the film unprofessional. The cast is good, Jack Cardiff photographs Acapulco (disguised as Indochina) stunningly, Mark Goldblatt and Mark Helfrich edit with machine-gun crispness and a dozen stunt men and pilots continually raise the hair on your head. Director George Cosmatos ("The Cassandra Crossing") marshals these forces with the gusto of a Westmoreland, the warmth of a Patton, the wit of a Zhukov.
But "Rambo" is a movie with absolutely no inner life. It's a series of exhortations punctuated by bomb bursts. (The screenplay, co-written by Stallone and "The Terminator's" James Cameron, oddly combines Cameron's zingy paranoia with Stallone's muscle-flexing optimism.) At the end, when Rambo, asked what he wants out of life, screams hoarsely that America must recognize and accept Vietnam vets, it seems less a logical response from a fatigued (and mud-spattered) hero than Stallone yelling his guts out to audiences everywhere.
Wouldn't it be nobler testimonial to the men who suffered in Vietnam to recognize their non-combatant contributions and to help them in battling scourges like indifference and Agent Orange-related diseases, rather than dream up multimillion-dollar fantasies about winning a war that ended more than a decade ago?
'RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD II' A Tri-Star release. Producer Buzz Feitshans. Director George Cosmatos. Script Sylvester Stallone, James Cameron. Executive producers Mario Kassar, Andrew Vajna. Camera Jack Cardiff. Music Jerry Goldsmith. Editors Mark Goldblatt, Mark Helfrich. Production designer Bill Kenney. Costumes Tom Bronson. Helicopter unit director Peter MacDonald. With Sylvester Stallone, Richard Crenna, Charles Napier, Steven Berkoff, Julia Nickson, Martin Kove, George Kee Cheung.

Great job everyone. That was a tough race (as 90% of you request in past surveys!). Whether you finished first, last or middle of the park, you had the courage to do a race that very few people are willing to do and that’s impressive.
What a great day and an amazing place! Thanks for racing with us. You’re a great group of people.
Also thanks to all of our sponsors, especially Todd & Brad Reed Photography and Cherry Republic (for hosting a challenge), great volunteers, Leelanau School and other vendors. Support our sponsors and let them know that you appreciate their support of our race.

Ahead of the release of the highly anticipated third album, Darling Arithmetic, Villagers have announced a run of dates across Ireland this May, Including Belfast.
Darling Arithmetic is the third album from Villagers, released on 13 April 2015. The follow-up to Conor O’Brien’s debut, Becoming a Jackal, and its successor, Awayland – both hugely acclaimed and Mercury-nominated – is a breathtakingly beautiful, intimate album entirely about love and relationships.
Now three albums in, Villagers is the front for playfulness and seriousness, mystery and revelation, an open-ended and flexible beast that can be anything its creator wants it to be. By going back to the root of songwriting, O’Brien has reinvented himself.

The Broad Center’s efforts to “accelerate” disruptive reform do not improve school districts. Instead they destabilize them, promote the privatization of public policy and undermine the common ground public education needs to survive and improve. Broad’s support for charter expansion, school closings, test-based teacher evaluation, merit pay, Teach for America, hostility to teachers unions and top-down business management of school districts is wreaking havoc in urban districts across the country. Our “interest” in the Broad Center’s programs is in stopping them from doing further damage to our schools, students and communities.
What the Aug. 21 Answer sheet blog post doesn’t tell you is that nowhere in the memo referred to are the words “privatize public schools,” “run schools like businesses,” “corporate school reform” or “influence schools.” That is because these are not our goals. We don’t believe in these things, which is why you won’t see that language in any correspondence we produce.
In response to a request under the NJ Open Public Records Act (OPRA), Education Law Center has obtained a confidential proposal prepared for the Broad Foundation by the NJ Department of Education (NJDOE) to “turnaround,” take control, and potentially close over 200 public schools over the next three years.

At a micro-level, we have also glorified competition. Athletic competition is seen as a metaphor, as well as a proving ground, for competition in business. Businesses line up to sponsor major athletic events and athletes. And nowhere in business is competition more revered than in sales.
It may sound like a Beatles song—the more you give, the more you get—but it’s true.
Of course, these attitudes are hard to come by in a world that prizes competition. Sellers everywhere are taught to compete not only with their competitors, but also with their own customers. Not getting a sale is considered bad form, if not unacceptable. Metrics in sales are short-term, incentives are largely extrinsic, and motivation basically consists of war chants.
Here’s what’s wrong with current business education, indeed current business thinking—in a nutshell.
The current issue of the MIT-Sloan Management Review trumpets the main feature: "Sustainability as Competitive Advantage."
You really don’t have to go any further. The clear implication is in the syntax: do this (little) thing, and you’ll get this (big) thing. Do this (responsibility) thing and you’ll get this (profitability) thing.
Turn the hands over this way, you’ll correct your hook. Sell this way, you’ll make more money. Practice sustainability, you’ll beat your competitors. Use these means, and you’ll get those ends.
Many companies are taking the first incremental steps toward sustainability, such as energy conservation and recycling. That’s a good start — but going further can yield significant competitive advantage. The growing movement toward sustainability in business offers companies a powerful lever for creating competitive advantage.
Get the picture? The ultimate reason to do this ‘good’ stuff is because it’s profitable at the individual company level. Interesting: it suggests high profitability is the measure of social responsiblity.
MIT Sloan is hardly alone. I’ve taken flak lately for supposedly singling out Harvard. Neither school is unique.
Capitalism-as-competition always implies an end goal–typically shareholder value, or sustainable competitive advantage. Led by a variety of influences ranging from Milton Friedman to Ayn Rand, the idea of capitalism-as-competition has been transmuted and transmitted by business gurus like Michael Porter, government gurus like Alan Greenspan, and business superstars like Jack Welch.
Note: it hasn’t worked too well. Business has gotten so co-opted by the competitive paradigm that we’ve lost all sense of even the possibility of another view.
Yet there is another view, and a very obvious one at that. It’s right under our noses. Let’s call it Buddhist Capitalism.
I don’t mean this too literally. I am no expert in Buddhist teachings, and not all Buddhist precepts track easily to business.
But one difference between capitalism-as-we’ve-come-to-know it and Buddhism is instructive. One is about vanquishing one’s foes; one is about getting along harmoniously in the world. And we all know which is which.
Business-as-competition is all about linearity: if you do this, you’ll get that. And the more you tighten those links, the more you control them.
Buddhism, on the other hand, embraces paradox. If you let go your attachment to X, you’re more likely to get it. But only if you give it up. The outcome cannot be sought successfully, it can only be received if you stop seeking it.
It isn’t all that alien a concept. The best salespeople know that success comes to those who give selflessly to their customers. From Dale Carnegie to Zig Ziglar, people have known that you succeed best by getting others what they want.
What I mean by Buddhist Capitalism comes down to doing two things: help others, and stop focusing on your own immediate ends.
Capitalism-as-competition negates the oncept of ethics, since it subordinates even ‘ethical’ ideas like sustainability to the overarching goal of profits and competitive advantage. A business school can’t feasibly teach ethics when, down the hall, the strategy course teaches that your ultimate goal is to win battles against your supply chain, customers, unions and employees. Who’s left to behave ethically towards?
Believing that the purpose of business is to make profits is like believing the purpose of living is to eat. The purpose of sustainability is sustainability—not the competitive advantage of those who practice it. As long as we limit our definitions of ‘good,’ ‘social benefit,’ and ‘business ethics’ to definitions couched in competitive advantage, we subordinate them.
We need to make profit a byproduct, not a goal. While it is true, very true, that ethical and customer-focused business focusing on the long-term really are more profitable, that is Not. The. Point.
The point is to make business a full partner in society, not a mad dog following an ‘invisible hand’ that responds only to heavily enforced legal mandates. If business wants a seat at the social family table, it needs to act like it’s a member of the family—not an outsider following its own rules.
In an increasingly interconnected world, it’s Buddhist Capitalism, not Competitive Capitalism, that we need more of. The fact that it’s also more profitable is a lovely byproduct. But not a goal.

Just like with fitness / health / strength, a lot of intelligence is genetic, and there is nothing you can do about that part. But, like with fitness, even more of it is environment/experiences, and we have 100% control of that.
Plus, when you start to understand the underlying reasons for how things work, everything starts to make sense. Once you learn the fundamentals of physics, mechanics, and chemistry, all mechanical things make sense, and you can reverse engineer anything, figure out how it works, and repair it. Once you learn the fundamentals of human psychology and sociology, all human behavior makes sense, and you can avoid conflict and get people on your side, or at least their respect, no matter how different their life outlook may be.
like unlocking the door, dialing a phone, taking a card out of your wallet, or using a spoon or fork.
any time you don't understand, or don't understand 100%, or there is any chance you might be misunderstanding - not just don't understand "what", but also why, ask questions. Ask everyone, about everything; ask so many questions that it starts to get annoying, and then, if there is any remaining ambiguity, ask more questions. Never accept "that's just how its done" as an answer for anything.
It might look like a lot of work at first, but learning is fun. Once you get in the habit, it feels normal quickly. And the effects will make literally every part of life better in every way, for as long as you live.

At age 6, my twin sister and I moved to the UK with my parents for my dad’s job. Being Dutch and at such a young age, I naturally couldn’t speak a word of English, but I was fluent within three months.
I have no memory of learning the language, except one word. In class I remember the teacher discussing a particular animal, whose name sounded very unfamiliar to my foreign ears. You were advised to put out a saucer of milk for it (in those days, at least), but it wasn’t a cat. It had small beady eyes and its name had something to do with a farm, but it wasn’t a pig. I still remember my lack of understanding until I was shown a picture – of course, it was a hedgehog! This is the only English word I consciously remember learning, all the rest came naturally.
Life in rural Surrey was wonderful, to me at least. It is where my love of animals and nature originated. And my love of learning. We attended a renowned girls’ school where I learned all sorts of interesting and also practical things, such as how to tie a tie. The quality of education at this school was very high and the self-discipline the school instilled in me has helped me in later years as well.
When we had lived in the UK for a number of years and we were settling comfortably into secondary school, my dad was relocated back to the Netherlands. The transition was very hard for me. I hardly spoke or understood Dutch and had to be put back a year at school. I found it difficult to adapt to Dutch culture and as a result I never truly felt at home. But now, after having spent countless years outside of the UK, I no longer feel British either. Because although my accent is English, I’m not a Brit.
Despite, or perhaps because of my ties to both England and the Netherlands, I have always felt slightly out of place in the world, as if I were floating somewhere over the Channel – not English, not entirely Dutch. No matter where I live, this torn feeling of not belonging never quite goes away. It took me until 2013 to tackle this head on and to embrace that inner conflict when I became a translator. A decision I haven’t once regretted. My weakness has become my strength and now I daily flit across the Channel and back, between English and Dutch. Perhaps never feeling truly at home, but at least very happy.

For the Guardian report (see http://tinyurl.com/3k99aa9.
Whether one regards official development assistance (ODA) as "aid" in the traditional sense, or as part of the shared obligation for spending on global public goods, both critics and proponents of aid should be able to agree on the need for more transparent tracking of what is being spent where and with what results. Since the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness in 2005, the efforts to track such spending and improve accountability have multiplied. The 4th High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness will be held in Busan, Korea from 19 November to 1 December this year.
While much of the language of both official reports and of the critiques is obscure, the availability of more detailed data and analysis does have the potential to be used by both internal and external critics to campaign for greater accountability. Donor "spin" will without doubt continue, but it is increasingly possible to go beyond abstract debates about "aid" to focus on what works and what doesn't.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin contains a short article from the UN's Integrated Regional Information Service (IRIN) citing recent reports questioning the transparency of aid reports, and excerpts from a new report by ActionAid, which has a critique of the G8 Accountability Report with respect to the pledges made on on food security at the 2009 G8 Summit, the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative.
Selected recipient country and donor case-study evaluations being prepared for the Busan Forum are available at http://www.oecd.org / Direct url: http://tinyurl.com/3v4ezbl African countries included to date are Benin, Cameroun, Ghana, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, and Zambia.
Dakar, 31 May 2011 (IRIN) - Poor-performing donors were lambasted by UK Prime Minister David Cameron at this year's G8 leaders' meeting for failing to move towards meeting 0.7 percent [of gross national income] aid targets; but most major donors are to blame for tying aid to donor-based contractors, say aid watchdogs, and for reporting money spent at home as aid.
AidWatch (http://aidwatch.concordeurope.org/), a group of European aid experts representing 1,600 NGOs, estimates European Union members reported US$7.4 billion (EU5.2 billion) in inflated aid in 2010 - that is, the money was actually spent on debt cancellation, on foreign students, and on refugees in donor countries.
This is equivalent to almost 10 percent of the total aid provided that year.
Donors may report the first year of housing costs for refugees, and costs spent on foreign students, as part of official development aid (ODA).
In 2009 - the most recent year for which data is available - the US reported the highest volume of aid on refugees at home ($740 million), while Canada and France reported the highest percentages of their overall aid (6 and 4 percent, respectively) on refugees at home, according to Josh Lozman, chief of staff at aid watchdog ONE.
France, Germany and Canada, the only G8 countries that report foreign student costs as part of ODA, spend 14, 8 and 9 percent respectively.
A significant proportion of the rest is tied - that is, spent on consultants and contractors from donor countries, said Karin Christiansen, director of NGO Publish What You Fund ) http://www.publishwhatyoufund.org/).
Much progress has been made to untie aid: several large donors have stopped formal aid-tying, including the UK, Canada, Denmark, Australia, Norway and Switzerland; while bilateral untied aid grew from 46 percent to 76 percent as a proportion of all aid between 2001 and 2007, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's Development Assistance Committee (OECD DAC).
But these figures exclude food aid and 'technical assistance'. When these sectors are included, 17 percent of all OECD aid was tied in 2009, according to ONE; the biggest offenders being Italy at 38 percent; the US at almost a third; and Germany at 27 percent.
Even when aid-tying is banned, contracts can still easily end up in the coffers of companies from donor countries, according to Christiansen. A study of UK contracts awarded in 2009 said 65 percent were awarded to UK companies.
Aid-tying makes the aid 30 percent more expensive, said Christiansen. "Tied aid is like a form of subsidy. Even if you're less efficient, you'll get the contract," she told IRIN.
"Untying aid is about allowing greater efficiency and flexibility to aid recipients, increasing country ownership over development," said Lozman. "It is also more cost-effective."
Analysts also take issue with debt relief being included as part of official development aid figures, said Franz Berger, coordinator at AidWatch.
Many donors include past, current and future interest payments in their aid figures, which distorts reality, he said. "ODA is presented as money to lift the poor and marginalized out of poverty, but debt relief is not a transfer of resources to a developing country - so it should not be included."
In the end, aid figures vary wildly depending on who is reporting them and how. In the pre-G8 accountability report, leaders claim to have fallen short of 2005 Gleneagles aid commitments by just $1 billion per year; while the OECD DAC estimates they were $22 billion short - the difference, says Berger, is that donors did not take into account inflation.
Spending aid at home, and aid-tying are unlikely to disappear soon, said Christiansen, but more open reporting of aid figures would at least enable a more honest debate, and less quibbling over numbers. "This is why we need transparency - so we can have a genuine conversation about the numbers"; We can't influence decision-making around spending, if all the information is based on hunch and rhetoric."
Donors pledged to improve transparency as part of a wider agenda to improve aid quality when they signed up to the Paris declaration on aid effectiveness in 2005, and the follow-up Accra Agenda for Action in 2008.
In the future, she hopes to see links between donor aid spend on projects and procurement databases, so people can examine exactly where the money is going; how much is tied; and how efficient the procurement is. "We can then shift from endlessly arguing over which numbers are accurate, to having a far more interesting conversation: Is the aid actually working?" she said.
There has been progress, said ONE's Lozman. Donors now report on 'country programming aid' (CPA) - or aid that can be programmed in-country; and as a proportion of total G7 official aid CPA has increased from a third in 2005 to 61 percent in 2009.
G8 leaders stressed aid transparency and accountability at this year's summit, stating in a communiqué "We will improve transparency of our aid information. In particular, we will make further efforts on publishing information on allocations, expenditure and results."
ONE and Publish What You Fund welcome these commitments. But Luca De Fraia, global governance expert and NGO ActionAid's deputy director in Italy, stresses donor accountability must focus as much on recipients as on taxpayers at home.
Donor rhetoric over recent months has emphasized accountability to taxpayers - as evidenced, for example, by several statements by European Development Commissioner Andris Piebalgs; and a preG 8 communiquéfrom President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
What is lacking, according to Da Fraia, is a process by which donors are held accountable when they fail on their promises. "The system now is very unbalanced," he said, calling for sanctions on donors whose aid projects cannot be accounted for.
These questions and others will be debated at the fourth high level forum on aid effectiveness to be held in Busan, South Korea, at the end of 2011.
Two Years On: Is the G8 Delivering on its L'Aquila Hunger Pledge?
Following the 2007-08 food crises, donors made an important 'Hunger Pledge' to the worlds poor. At the 2009 G8 Summit in L'Aquila, Italy, donors launched the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative, backed by 27 countries and 14 international agencies. Within this, donors pledged to mobilise US $22 billion over three years in support of country-led plans for agriculture, with a 'coordinated, comprehensive strategy'.
Two years on, with food prices reaching record levels, the world stands on the precipice of another food crisis. With only one year left to deliver, the G8 and other L'Aquila donors have launched their accountability report with a focus on progress towards goals set in L'Aquila on food security and on global health. This is the report where the G8 and other donors are to account for progress on their 'Hunger Pledge'. At face value, the report says that the G8 is broadly on track. However, an analysis of the data reveals that this is extremely difficult to justify with any certainty: because it is nearly impossible to rate countries' relative performance due to inconsistent and erratic reporting methods.
ActionAid believes that the accountability process is severely undermined by a lack of transparency on how much countries have spent and a lack of consistency in measuring progress and timelines. A few donors -- the EU, Germany and Japan -- are not even able to account on their expenditure to date and are still only reporting on what they have committed to doing. Moreover, the accountability report shows that around two-thirds through the pledge only 22 percent has actually been spent.
Meanwhile, some countries, such as Italy and Germany, are reporting against progress on projects and items which were outside of their original pledge. This suggests that governments are re-categorising commitments, in order to mask their lack of progress. Moving the goalposts halfway through the game is not fair play.
Accountability also involves transparency and reflection on failures, as well as on achievements. Few donors are openly admitting shortcomings. The US government is one of the few exceptions: not only is the US being clear in its reporting but they are also being transparent about their disbursement delays.
France, who this year is hosting the G8 and G20, appears to be trying to mask their poor performance behind some bad reporting. Following their moderately good L'Aquila pledge to agriculture, they are now failing to deliver it, with less than 50 percent of their commitments being spent two-thirds of the way into the pledge timeline. Not meeting these hunger commitments could undermine President Sarkozy's credibility in championing G20 action on food price volatility and food security this year.
But perhaps of greatest concern is the lack of concrete evidence of progress towards achieving several of the core components of the pledge: increasing aid to agriculture, through support of country-led agriculture plans that target the needs of small holder farmers. Progress on the pledges of aid to agriculture are by far the most off-track; with delivery being particularly slow compared to spending on other categories of aid for food security. For instance, Italy has actually had a cut of 56 percent in their agricultural aid spending since L'Aquila.
With the world just one bad harvest away from another food crisis, we need urgent injections of funding and donors to make good on their promises, not clever accounting.
Moreover, the effects of increasing food prices on poverty are extremely alarming. The World Bank estimates that high food prices have pushed 44 million people into extreme poverty in low- and-middle income countries, and warns that food prices are at 'dangerous levels'.
Indeed, the investment that donors have delivered on -- while far from sufficient -- is helping to mitigate the impacts of the crisis.The evidence that increased investment in agriculture over the last few years has helped to minimise Africa's exposure to the recent surge in global food prices should spur greater action and ambition from donors. Countries such as Rwanda and Malawi, which have recently increased government support to smallholder-based agriculture, are reporting stable local food prices and abundant supplies.
Sadly, donor aid to agriculture is still woefully short of what is needed to meaningfully reduce hunger. And in spite of African countries' stepping up in response to the food crisis and drafting ambitious country plans through the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) process, donors are not living up to their end of the bargain. African countries have developed costed and peer reviewed plans, but donors are not keeping up through support to fund them. Huge gaps exist in the money needed. For just the 20 African countries that are an advanced stage of the CAADP process, there is a funding gap of $36.3 billion that needs to be filled.
With the world teetering on the edge of another food crisis, the G8 must keep to their 'Hunger Pledge'. ActionAid is also urging the G8 and all donors to channel their aid behind country plans.
It is vital that donors ensure their L'Aquila pledges are delivered within the 3 year timeframe, with shortfalls in commitments and disbursements of agricultural aid addressed as a matter of urgency by all donors.
Donors should channel more money through GAFSP, which is delivering new money, transparently, in support of country led plans.
Donors need to take the next step and go beyond L'Aquila and ensure that all CAADP investment plans are fully funded.
Section 3. Moving forward: What needs to happen?
Aid to agriculture is still woefully insufficient to signficantly reduce hunger. African countries are increasingly meeting their side of the bargain via the CAADP progress, and and have developed costed and peer reviewed plans, but donors are not keeping up.
The individual performance of L'Aquila donors in increasing aid over the period from 2002-2009 to agriculture does show some progress but almost all this progress is a consequence of significant advances by a handful of donors. Among the largest donors, best performers include the USA, the EU and Japan. All these three donors have more than doubled aid to agriculture since 2002. France, however, has made significant cuts in aid to agriculture in the last couple of years and the aid provided by Germany remains fairly stable. Among smaller donors, Spain has made remarkable progress. Canada has also managed to double aid to agriculture since 2002.
The Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) aims to revitalise African farming in order to reduce rural poverty and hunger. CAADP was conceived by the African Union in 2003 as an ambitious and comprehensive attempt to help African countries reach higher economic growth through agriculture-led development, with the ultimate goal of eliminating hunger and reducing poverty. Since then, CAADP can be credited with changing the way in which national governments and donors approach agricultural development, while shifting focus back onto African agriculture as a key development pathway. Signatory countries also made important commitments through CAADP to increase spending on agriculture to 10 percent of their overall budget and reach an agriculture growth rate of 6 percent per annum.
To date, 23 countries have completed the CAADP roundtable process - a country-led process that defines a strategy for reducing hunger and improving agricultural productivity through policy reform, as well as more and better investment in public resources. The aim is that these country-level processes lead to national compacts and ultimately to investment plans that are jointly owned by governments, donors, civil society organizations, the private sector and regional economic communities.
Despite African countries stepping up in response to the food crisis, donors are not living up to their end of the bargain. Huge gaps exist in the money needed (see table two below [in full report]). For just the 20 African countries that are an advanced stage of the CAADP process, there is a funding gap of $36.3 billion that needs to be filled [67% of the $54.8 billion estimated cost].
With the world teetering on the edge of another food crisis, the G8 must keep to their 'Hunger Pledge'. It is simply not acceptable that they are unable to give a full and transparent account of progress to date. In so doing, the G8 is severely undermining the 'accountability' process by a lack of transparency.
The figures suggest, despite some outstanding exceptions, that there is a lag in progress on the key elements of the pledge: aid to agriculture, and in support for country-led plans and small holder farmers.
ActionAid is urging the G8 and all donors to channel their aid behind country plans. This is particularly important in light of evidence which shows that increased African government support to agriculture is helping to cushion countries and poor communities against the current global price spikes.
In particular, investments channeled via the GAFSP are proving to be an effective and transparent vehicle for moving funds to support country led plans, but not enough donors are supporting it. All details about country plans, financial disbursements and commitments about GAFSP are available publicly on the web -- all L'Aquila bilateral donors should follow this model.
Ensure that the underlying data on 2010 disbursements is publicly released by all donors and is reported on according to the original commitments made, with no re-classification of funds.
Ensure the full delivery of the L'Aquila pledge and transparently spell out how and when the money will be delivered.
It is important that the shortfalls in the progress on commitments and disbursements of aid to agriculture are addressed as a matter of urgency by all donors.
Donors need to take next step and go beyond L'Aquila and ensure that all CAADP investment plans are fully funded.

It had been a week.
With the benefit of nearly a half century of hindsight and purely from the vantage point of surviving audio tapes, it was an absolutely remarkable one for the Beatles, starting January 2 and entering the sessions on January 9. Amid sniping that peaked with a threatened walkout in unpleasant, wholly uninspiring surroundings, the Beatles put together — between mostly recently written shells and completely new originals — a compact set of fresh songs they could reasonably stage for a TV show. Just the night before, after days of deliberation, it sounded like they had come to consensus on what and where the show would be.
January 9 began, as many of the days at Twickenham Film Studios had, with Paul McCartney the first Beatle in the room. Today, he took a guest with him to the office.
“Do you know Michael Lindsay-Hogg?” Paul asked his bride-to-be, Linda Eastman.
From the conversation, it’s clear that Paul didn’t take his work home with him. She knew very little about the group’s plans regarding the live show.
Linda: So if you do it, it would be in here?
MLH: If we do it here, we’ll do it in here.
Paul: But if we don’t, it’s on a boat to Tripoli.
Well, that’s Apple’s problem, Michael and Paul agreed.
In two years’ time, “Another Day” was Paul McCartney’s first single as a solo artist (the 1970 McCartney LP yielded no singles), reaching No. 2 in the U.K. and No. 5 in the U.S. It also received a Linda McCartney co-writing credit, a fact that eventually spawned yet another Beatles-related lawsuit.
The song was name-checked that same 1971 in John Lennon’s furiously anti-Paul diatribe “How Do You Sleep”: “The only thing you done was yesterday / And since you’re gone you’re just another day.” The “Another Day” reference was actually written by Allen Klein, not Lennon.
But on January 9, 1969, Klein was a few weeks away from smashing into the Beatles orbit, and John was Paul’s partner, still a few moments from joining the day’s sessions. “Another Day,” however, was recognizable in this early state, the song’s first two verses largely identical to what Paul would record in New York in October 1970.
The sleeve of the Portuguese release of the “Another Day” single featuring Twickenham Paul.
Paul sang delicately and tentatively on the tapes, in contrast to his bolder performance on piano in his practice session. He’s searching, unsuccessfully, for a bridge to the song, and there’s no chorus. After about three minutes and two-plus repetitions of the two verses, Paul simply moved on to improvisations and several other previously debuted numbers (to be explored in subsequent posts).
The song could be heard just once more on the Nagra tapes, for less than a minute, in a fleeting rendition by Paul on acoustic guitar during an equipment change on January 25. “Another Day” was never a serious consideration for a Beatles record.
The next several songs Paul would play were.

I come into my own when a project has a clear goal, a head and tail, and a fixed deadline. There’s nothing better than when everything comes together on time and everyone is happy!
Via Spargle I managed a project for a major media network. The cookie modules had to be converted within a short timeframe for around 400 sites. It was quite a job!
During this cookie project I was asked to lead the cloud migration from the mail service provider, and after that I got to work on the renewal of the statistical codes on all the sites. It’s great when projects go so well that Spargle can continue to support the organization in other ways!

Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare said on Friday he will start a 'satyagraha' in New Delhi on the first day of winter session, for the passage of Jan Lokpal Bill in Parliament.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had assured to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill in the last monsoon session. But the central government did not present the bill in Rajya Sabha as assured, Hazare said at his Ralegan Siddhi village about 40 km from Ahmednagar.
"I will start a hunger strike at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi and the people must agitate in their tehsil, DM's offices, till we get a strong Jan Lokpal," said the activist, who is busy making micro plans for his forthcoming nationwide agitation for the anti-corruption Bill.
Hazare appealed to the nation and the youths to organise a non-violent 'satyagraha' along with him, similar to the one he took up on August 16, 2011.
The subsequent popular agitation had forced the government to convene a special meet of Parliament, which passed a resolution, agreeing with three of his crucial demands.
The septuagenarian demanded that the prime minister should urge the President to convene a special session of Parliament as the Bill is pending for close to two years after being passed in Lok Sabha.
After being passed in the Lok Sabha in December 2011, the nill was referred to a select committee of the Rajya Sabha, which is yet to submit its report.
The government lacks the will to stop corruption and bring in Jan Lokpal Bill, while it has passed lot of other bills like on food security, land, election reforms, pension, etc, Hazare lamented. The activist had earlier this year toured the country after the formation of Jantantra Morcha.

H.F.5 created the Minnesota Premium Security Plan (MPSP), which is a state-based reinsurance program (similar to the one that Alaska created for 2017, and that the ACA implemented on a temporary basis through 2016) that would take effect in 2018. The reinsurance program would cover a portion of the claims that insurers face, resulting in lower total claims costs for the insurers, and thus lower premiums (indeed, insurers have proposed average rate decreases across the board if the reinsurance program is approved). It would kick in once claims reach $50,000, and would cover them at 80 percent up to $250,000 (this is similar to the coverage under the transitional reinsurance program that the ACA provided from 2014 through 2016).
H.F.5 was contingent upon approval of the 1332 waiver, because it relies partially on federal funding, in addition to state funding. If the 1332 waiver is approved — and it was, on September 22 — the federal government will give Minnesota the money that they save on premium tax credits, and that money will be combined with state funds to implement the reinsurance program (lower premiums — as a result of the reinsurance program — will result in the federal government having to pay a smaller total amount of premium tax credits, since the tax credits are smaller when premiums are smaller).
...Even more troubling, however, was the fact that Minnesota officials only recently learned that although the waiver approval was likely to be finalized soon, the process was now expected to result in a substantial cut in federal funding for MinnesotaCare. Dayton notes that he’s been told that $208 million in federal funding will be provided for the reinsurance program over two years, but that Minnesota will lose $369 million in federal MinnesotaCare funding over that same two years.
In other words, Minnesota will be worse off under the 1332 waiver than they would be without it. Dayton urged HHS to rapidly approve the 1332 waiver, and to reverse the provision that would otherwise cause a substantial funding cut for MinnesotaCare. However, the approval letter that CMS sent three days later stated that federal savings based on reduced premium tax credits (due to lower overall premiums as a result of the reinsurance program) would be passed on to Minnesota to fund the reinsurance program, but that savings associated with MinnesotaCare would not.
While approving Minnesota’s reinsurance waiver, federal health officials indicated they would cut funding for MinnesotaCare — the state’s subsidized program for the working poor — by an estimated $369 million, despite repeated promises that funding would go untouched.
Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Emily Piper said and Minnesota’s congressional representatives are still pressing officials at the federal level to relent and restore that critical funding.
Put yet another way, CMS just screwed Minnesota residents earning 138% - 200% of the federal poverty line ($16,000 - $24,000/year) in order to help out those earning over 400% FPL ($48,000/yr +). Certainly that help is needed, but it shouldn't have been done by hurting those lower down the income chain.
In any event, as I understand it, given the time crunch, MN officials had no choice but to grudgingly accept the "approval" and are working to figure out how to refill that $369 million hole in the MinnesotaCare program.
As a result of all this insanity, at least the exchange plan rates are indeed dropping overall...although it doesn't look to me like it'll be anywhere close to the "20% drop" figure I've seen batted about. As far as I can tell, instead of a 12.5% average increase, the average premium rates will drop by around 5.3-10.2% overall depending on whether CSR payments are guaranteed or not.
UPDATE: I've confirmed with the state Dept. of Commerce that all approved rates assume NO CSR payments next year. I've also confirmed that the CSR load is being applied to on-exchange Silver plans only, meaning Minnesota is apparently going the full "Silver Switcharoo" route. I've updated the table below accordingly.
It's also worth noting that 4 of the 5 carriers are once again instituting enrollment caps for 2018, although this year it's Medica which seems to have drawn the "short straw" by agreeing to accept any overflow. I should note, however, that the total "cap" on the other 4 carriers combined adds up to around 166,000 people, which just happens to be exactly what Minnesota's total individual market size is anyway, so unless there's a massive surge in enrollees this shouldn't cause too much of a problem.
One other important thing to note: While the average premiums will be lower for new enrollees (and around the same for current subsidized enrollees), it'll actually still be higher for anyone not receiving APTC assistance this year...because that 25% rebate was a one-time deal. They're paying 25% less this year, but once the rebate runs out will still see their rates jump back up somewhat.
The CSR impact is pretty small in MN anyway because there simply aren't that many people eligible for CSR assistance...because the vast majority of them are enrolled in the BHP (MinnesotaCare) program instead. In fact, only around 11% of MNsure enrollees receive CSR vs. the 60% or so national average. As a result, it only moves the needle around 5 points when spread across all metal levels, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

TARA’S ULTIMATE BCAA 4:1:1 is one of the best studied supplement in the athlete’s diet their primary function is to enhance recovery to maximize muscle gains and prevent the loss of muscle mass. Each serving of BCAA with optimal levels of active L-leucine, L-Isoleucine and L- valine is a potent 4:1:1 ratio. These amino acids are considered to be essential as they cannot be synthesized by the body, so must be consumed from dietary sources. During intense exercise or while taking a calorie deficit diet, skeletal muscle are catabolized in order to liberate amino acids from muscle for energy production. Supplementation with BCAA around workout is crucial for preservation of muscle loss, to promote muscle protein re-synthesis and to reduce fatigue by decreasing delayed offset muscle soreness (DOMS). The intake of BCAA is quite essential for individuals on a low calorie diet as BCAAs promotes fat loss while preserving muscle mass. Daily intake of BCAA powder has also been shown to protect immune function and reduce the risk of illness in athletes.

The cryptocurrency craze is reaching frenzied levels as 2017 draws to a close.
Barely in the cents when trading was started at the beginning of this decade, the price of the signature currency - bitcoin - has jumped some twentyfold this year from nearly US$ 1,000 to surge past the US$20,000 mark.
While monetary authorities in various parts of the world are sounding the alarm about the intrinsic value of cryptocurrencies, there is a lesser-known danger posed by these "cryptos" (as they are sometimes known). Beneath the veneer of a fast buck, little attention is paid to the exact magnitude of energy that is required round the clock to churn out such currencies.
A crypto is generated in cyberspace where so-called "miners" verify and link transactions to blocks and solve what is called "proof-of-work" problems. These are complicated mathematical problems that get increasingly harder to solve. Miners thus have to demonstrate the work done to find a "hash" that is acceptable and this is shown through the amount of processing power used. In other words, the value of a crypto comes from the computations done.
Therein lies the problem. Computer processing in itself is energy intensive. To create cryptos, much electricity is needed to run the processors. In addition, these emit much heat when in operation. Huge fans are needed to cool the systems so that they do not break down, and this causes even more energy to be used.
The ongoing race is for the miners to have the fastest processors to solve problems of escalating difficulty. In the beginning, consumer-grade systems such as graphics processing units could be used to generate cryptos. But this is not possible now and professional miners currently deploy high-end application-specific integrated circuit chips which are solely dedicated for crypto-mining.
The race for cryptos has reached a stage where a whole new industry of cryptocurrency mining is being spawned.
China alone accounts for 58 per cent of the bitcoin mines. But the "dirty secret" is that many of these mines run on electricity from coal, which is a most environmentally unfriendly source of energy (in total, China gets 60 per cent of its electricity from coal). As an illustration, there is a mine in Inner Mongolia, a province of China, which has eight metal warehouses, each 100m long, with a total of 25,000 computers just to mine bitcoins. Interestingly, there are also clusters of mines in the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan that tap the on-site sources of hydroelectricity.
Other countries are chasing the crypto trophy too. It is reported that the Russians are seriously keen on dominating crypto mining. We are facing a stage where massive amounts of energy will be consumed for the creation of cryptos. This goes beyond the bitcoin itself. In fact, there are now more than 1,300 types of cryptos and the number is increasing rapidly given the ongoing rage of ICOs - initial coin offerings.
So how much energy is actually utilised in the production of cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoins? As a quick gauge, a single bitcoin transaction has been reported to use the same amount of energy to power nine homes in the United States for one day.
The total computing power amassed by the bitcoin network is some 100,000 times larger than the world's 500 fastest supercomputers put together.
In terms of energy amount, the bitcoin hardware taps some 31 terawatt-hours per year (1 terawatt is 1 trillion watts or 1 million million watts). This amount is greater than the energy usage of 150 countries or three-quarters of all countries in the world.
The even worse news is that the energy consumption of bitcoins is rising at an increasing rate per day. As of now, this rate is estimated to be 450 gigawatts per day (1 gigawatt is 1 billion watts).
As a related worry, there are even cases where cyber criminals are using "botnets" to exploit the processing power of their victims' computers through hidden software embedded in popular websites. There are probably about 220 such websites that carry these software with a global reach of some 500 million users. In other words, half a billion people may be unwittingly mining cryptos for other people who exploit free computing power for their illegitimate benefits.
But the greatest worry is what will happen if cryptos' ravenous appetite for power continues unchecked. According to one projection by Digiconomist, a cryptocurrency publication, more energy will be exhausted by bitcoins than the whole of the US by July 2019, and the entire world's energy consumption will be surpassed by the end of 2020.
Let's compare crypto transactions with those of traditional credit cards. Digiconomist estimated that the present Visa payment system uses the energy equivalent of 50,000 US households to run 350 million transactions, while bitcoin uses the energy equivalent of 2.8 million US households to run 350,000 transactions. In other words, bitcoin transactions are 56,000 times more energy hungry than Visa's.
So the whole crypto craze is not just about the rise and rise of prices. It is also about the fallout from crypto mining's massive and ever-increasing demand for energy. While some analysts disagree with Digiconomist's projection, there is no dispute over crypto mining's very serious - and rising - drain on energy resources.
With all the rhetoric and efforts expended to mitigate global warming and climate change, it seems quite out of place that we forget about the elephant in the room, namely bitcoin. While the miners and speculators are laughing all the way to the bank, the rest of us are paying the price for their free-riding on the environment.
the bitcoin hardware taps some 31 terawatt-hours per year. This amount is greater than the energy usage of 150 countries or three-quarters of all countries in the world.
Naturally, regulation is the solution for any problem that has an externality where costs are borne by others. This is indeed the case for pollution, as we see in carbon taxes or carbon trading schemes.
But cryptos are difficult to regulate as it is difficult to ring-fence the transactions. Tax, in particular, is not feasible. Buyers and sellers will find any jurisdiction that offers the best deal and, in cyberspace, locating such havens is not difficult.
A new global financial order is probably necessary for effective monitoring of crypto advancements before the planet experiences a burnout. That's probably a tall order given the transboundary nature of the problem, not to mention its virtual dimension.
Governments around the world can try to band together and outlaw cryptos altogether but that may not be possible given the inherent nature of the underlying technology. Indeed, cryptos riding on the so-called blockchain approach may have reached the point of no return.
Cryptos are here to stay. The damage their creation is likely to inflict on energy and environmental sustainability is real. We cannot stand by and watch while crypto-scrapers dig for profits at our expense. While they have their blockchains, we lose our food chains.
As individual consumers, we can probably do our bit to protect the world. So, before we buy that bitcoin, think again. •The writer is director of the Centre for Governance, Institutions and Organisations at NUS Business School, National University of Singapore.

Melbourne's third straight win to open the year broke a hoodoo which had seen them not win at Brunswick Street since 1921. Victory in the first three games was the first time Melbourne had achieved such a feat since 1899.
The home side was handicapped by missing some key players, but were thumped in both the opening two quarters and the damage was too great to make up in the second half. When the game was played in the packs Fitzroy did well but Melbourne had their measure in open play. The best football of the day came in the third quarter when the home side made a valiant effort to bridge a five goal gap but they'd left themselves too much work and Melbourne further extended their advantage in the last.
Best were Taylor, Dunbar and Johnson. Abernethy's five goal haul came while playing in the unfamiliar role of full forward. Barnes hurt his thigh and Thomas bruised his ribs.
The score was Melbourne's highest ever against Fitzroy to that point.

If you have teenagers with cell phones, do not let them see this story.
A federal appeals court said it is a Fourth Amendment violation to take away a person's cell phone without a "reasonable basis." Of course, that applies when it's the government taking the phone.
But still, you may want to think twice about explaining the constitutional nuances to a kid who has a death grip on a cell phone. For cops, well, that's this story.
In Crocker v. Beatty, it was almost a no-brainer. The U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision without hearing arguments.
James P. Crocker sued deputy sheriff Steven Eric Beatty for taking his cell phone at an accident scene. Crocker was a witness, and had photographed and recorded an SUV, empty beer bottles, and other images of the crash scene.
Without warning, the deputy came up behind Crocker and took his phone. He said it was "evidence of the state," and told Crocker he could reclaim it later.
Crocker insisted the officer return the phone, the officer told him to leave, and one thing led to another. Crocker was arrested for resisting arrest, but followed up with civil rights claims for false arrest and unreasonable seizure of his phone under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983.
The officer won a motion for summary judgment based on immunity, except on the phone claim. On that, he appealed.
The Eleventh Circuit said exigent circumstances permit warrantless seizures of property in some situations. For example, it is permissible to prevent the "imminent destruction of evidence" during a crime.
But, the appeals court said, "no reasonable law enforcement officer would have believed that the evidence on Crocker's iPhone was at risk of imminent destruction at the time of the seizure." He was just a curious passer-by; he wasn't even there on a ticket.
In other words, if you are going to take your kid's phone, make sure you have exigent circumstances. Like, you believe they may delete incriminating texts.

Talking with someone is the main use for a cell phone, yet due to poor reception how often do calls not go through, or important calls "dropped" due to flaky coverage? Let us not forget, that in a time of tragedy, lines were congested and the resounding "all circuits busy" messages were heard from coast to coast. There is certainly room for improvement if you want to reach out and touch someone.
The alternative to voice communication is traditional text messaging, enjoyed by the young as SMS, a 'hip' communication method, and the older as the tried and true paging, a trustworthy means of communication. A carrier receives pages or text messages via a traditional dial up modem or Internet connection to their terminal, and then broadcasts the messages over their network to the appropriate wireless device. How instant is sending a text message? The answer might surprise you...it depends.
Traditional means of sending text messages is surprisingly reliable and fast. However, many cellular carriers, wishing to merge technologies while keeping costs down, have opted to utilize email technology to send text messages. Why not, an email is nothing more than a text message, using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). On the surface this sounds like a great idea, nearly everyone has email access, and the use of the Internet streamlines the sending of messages.
What is often overlooked, is the fact that email was not designed to be time sensitive. There can be significant delays and an instantaneous receipt can be lost when sending email to a pager or cell phone. Text messages sent via the email protocol SMTP could take a more scenic delivery route. While in many cases, receiving messages in a timely fashion is not critical; some industries require and benefit from the receipt of urgent messages. It is therefore important to realize and make a distinction between the protocols that are designed for instantaneous communication and those that are not.
If sending messages immediately to a cell phone or pager is required, more reliable protocols are available. When sending text messages, via a modem, the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) is extremely dependable, albeit slower due to the modem dialing. If sending messages with a high-speed Internet connection use the newer time sensitive Internet protocols: Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) and Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP). If your carrier supports these protocols they are the better options for sending important messages.
If carriers understand the "now" generation is about speed and reliability, customer satisfaction will improve. Text messaging is a reliable and useful communication method, especially since voice is not always convenient or possible. With public awareness and urging, carriers will increase their offerings of text messaging protocols. Carriers should offer email or SMTP, but they must also support time sensitive protocols, regardless, of whether the protocols are older such as TAP or newer such as WCTP.

Review: "Points North: Points North" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Here we have the sophomore, self-titled Magna Carta release from the instrumental trio known as Points North, comprised of guitarist Eric Barnett , bassist Uriah Duffy, and drummer Kevin Aiello. If you were thrilled at their 2012 release Road Less Travelled, then I'm certain Points North is going to push all those same buttons for you. This is instrumental prog/rock/fusion not far removed from The Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band, Eric Johnson, or Joe Satriani, filled with memorable melodies, soaring guitar lines, intricate arrangements, and locked in grooves. Barnett is a wonderful player, and it's no surprise all the guitar magazine accolades he's been receiving in recent years as evident by the wealth of sizzling licks, solos, and riffs heard throughout this album. Tunes such as "Rites of Passage", "Northstar", and "Child's Play" draw that fine line between majesty, power, and passion, as gorgeous melodies tug at the listener's soul while the jaw dropping virtuosity of the three players mesmerizes the senses. "Colorblind" is a raunchy hard rocker, "Harlequin" a mix of prog, folk, and jazz for all the roots rockers out there, "Turning Point" reminds of prog heavyweights Rush, while "Foxes & Cougars" combines '70s styled heavy rock with shredding guitar & bass lines for a match that can't be missed. For out and out 'locked & loaded guitar rock' check out the scorching "Killer Pounder", easily one of the heaviest tracks here and a real workout for the entire band.
Once you get done with Points North you'll have to take a breather, rest up a bit, 'cause you'll want to relive this one again and again and allow these dazzling arrangements to get your ticker working overtime and your blood pumping at insane levels. This is a hot one folks!

She saw this as her Tita’s post. The sight of this picture turned her eyes green with envy. She has a good number of books too. She started her love for books at a young age. Actually, she had been collecting books since she was a baby. Of course, initially, I was collecting for her. Now, obviously, for this BunnyMunchkin; her Reading Nook is wanting.
With all her books unjustly tucked into the shelves, I have a coming project. I will build her small library/reading nook.
Along with the development of that neatly looking piled books, she will also begin to write about the books she reads. (Hopefully) She has volunteered and in fact kind of insisted that she choose and write about the books for that section in my blog. Lucky for me, she is a great procrastinator. She has made our LDP arrangement an excuse for not being able to write.
Well, she’s got no excuse now. I”m making her her library/reading nook and I am here to stay with her.

Heat transfer coils are one of the most critical and delicate components in any air conditioning system. Chillers have them, heat pumps have them, and DX systems have them.
As the name implies, the coil is the heat exchanger in the air conditioner, transferring heat between two fluids. In a water-cooled chiller, the fluids are typically water or a water-glycol solution on one side and cooling water on the other side; air-cooled chillers would have water/water-glycol and reject the heat to air; in a water source heat pump, the fluids are refrigerant and water; and in a DX air conditioner, they are refrigerant and air.
The most common – and economical – method is generally going to be a sprayed-on coating.
Coils are also subject to a number of external and internal failure modes. Aside from mechanical damage – remember, they’re delicate, you can’t run a forklift into them and over time the walls will become thinner due to erosion – external failures are commonly leaks caused by corrosion. Internal coil damage may also be the result of corrosion and, in water-cooled equipment, can be caused by the formation of scale. Scale, which impedes heat transfer, and internal corrosion are controlled primarily by maintaining proper pH and reducing solids content as much as possible.
The coating is applied by electroplating.
The most common – and economical – method is generally going to be a sprayed-on coating, and that’s the type with which I am most familiar (in the interest of full disclosure, EnergyGuard, a leading spray-on coil coater, is a former client of mine). The other methods have the advantage of providing more uniform coverage, but they are more expensive and cannot be applied in the field (the sprayed-on coatings can be applied in a factory/shop or onsite). Cure time is an important consideration in selecting a sprayed-on coating that is going to be applied in the field, and – under ordinary temperature and humidity conditions – should not be longer than 15 minutes or so. Also, if the equipment being coated is operating in a coastal location, the coating should successfully pass the ISO 9227/ASTM B117, 10,000-hour salt spray test.
One concern that came to mind, when I first learned about the coating, was if there would be a loss of heat transfer efficiency due to any insulating properties of the coating. Obviously, coating products containing aluminum solids, rather than silica or similar materials, will have a significantly better heat transfer coefficient (k). Depending on the amount of aluminum in the product, it seems reasonable to expect that the improved k will offset any loss of efficiency due to the insulating characteristics, if any, of the coating.
Finally, as a sustainability consultant, I strongly recommend selecting a product with low or no VOCs.

1. a person employed to collect debts, rents, etc.
in agricultural irrigation, a drainage pipe or canal that receives water from the regulating part of an irrigation network (drainage gutters) and sends it out of the area being drained.
A semiconductive region through which a primary flow of charge carriers leaves the base of a transistor; the electrode or terminal connected to this region is also called the collector.
An electrode that collects electrons or ions which have completed their functions within an electron tube; a collector receives electrons after they have done useful work, whereas an anode receives electrons whose useful work is to be done outside the tube. Also known as electron collector.
A class of instruments employed to determine the electric potential at a point in the atmosphere, and ultimately the atmospheric electric field; all collectors consist of some device for rapidly bringing a conductor to the same potential as the air immediately surrounding it, plus some form of electrometer for measuring the difference in potential between the equilibrated collector and the earth itself; collectors differ widely in their speed of response to atmospheric potential changes.
A device designed to absorb radiation from the sun and transfer this energy to a fluid which passes through the collector.
One side of a bipolar transistor. When the base is pulsed, current flows from the emitter to the collector, or vice versa depending on the design. See drain.
One doll led to another, then to another, and now, like most collectors, she specializes in just a few categories.
Lapena designated Collector Romeo Allan Rosales as the new acting chief of the Customs Intelligence Division and district commanders of BOC's Enforcement and Security Service.
Original creditors also often sell their consumers debts to debt buyers that may collect on the purchased debts or hire third-party debt collectors to recover them.
After the state pays out the 48 cents per pound of covered e-scrap, recyclers are committed to paying 20 cents per pound to authorized collectors who deliver material to them.
Others, such as collector Ortiz, note that source countries maintain warehouses and storerooms filled with thousands of uncatalogued antiquities, many of which are just "rotting away.
Another factor in determining collector status is frequency of use.
For less picky collectors, however, the floaty is like having a world inside a pen.
It is a common practice to seed a new set of bags or cartridges in the collector prior to placing the unit in service.
The requirements of FDCPA are: (i) the debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation in connection with the collection of any debt and (ii) the debt collector must inform the debtor within five days after the initial "communication" of the amount of the debt, that the debtor's failure to dispute the debt within thirty days will cause the debt to be assumed to be valid ("validation notice") and (iii) the debt collector must disclose that in attempting to collect the debt, any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
These wounds can't compare, however, to the tribulations the dinosaur has suffered since fossil collectors first dug it up in August 1990 on land owned by a South Dakota rancher named Maurice Williams.
Fortunately, the collector discovered his stamp's absence before the vacuum cleaner's bag was emptied, and there the stamp was found, considerably the worse for wear.

A team from Pioneer Drive Baptist Church spent part of spring break in Rockport, building wheelchair ramps, doing other much-needed jobs and building relationships with the people they served.
A man from Wisconsin, Bernie Juday, worked with us each day also!
Day one a two-man crew–Bunkley and Barbian–went to two locations to assist if possible with electrical problems. One was a mobile home that needed a complete new service supply built, but all we could do was install two breakers, and Jay did some cleanup and nailed some plywood back while Terry did the breaker replacement!
Second electrical problem was to repair an electrical water pump so person could sell vacant property! We could not assist on this project!
At same time our 6+1 went to two locations! First, they installed a 4’ by 3’ extension onto an existing ramp so wheelchair could access the ramp!
Second project for them was to build 6’ x 4’ deck at door of a mobile camper, then build a 20-fiit ramp from the deck towards the roadway so handicapped resident could enter/leave home.
When we finished the two electrical assignments, we assisted in completion of the deck/ramp. The project had a 20-foot ramp attached to the deck. This project took approximately 55 man-hours to complete. These were finished the first day by 5:30 pm!
The second day the entire team of 8+1 went to a double-wide trailer home occupied by a man and woman who were both in motorized wheelchairs! He had been dropped by a medical transport crew due to condition of the steps at the home, and he received broken ribs. The transport service told him they would not return to the residence unless he had a ramp installed, thus our assignment.
Due to trees and driveway locations, we had to build a 6-deck to attach to the porch with a 45-degree angle at the end so we could attach a 32-foot ramp for their accessibility. This ramp was completed in one day requiring approximately 70-73 man hours!
Day 3, Wednesday, we were assigned a home that needed the existing (very steep ramp for lady using walker) that was approx 8 feet long. The completed ramp was 46 feet long total, with a 90-degree deck/turn for her to get in/out of the home safely! They finished deck by 6:30 p.m. and took 83 man hours!
Thursday they had no more needs for ramps, so our crew 8+1 went to a home where dad had 50 percent disability, mom 90 percent, and daughter was 100 percent handicapped. Our job was to cut up fallen limbs and pile them up for a youth group to remove an another date. This project took approximately 22.5 man hours!
First Baptist Church of Rockport provided home cooked meals for our team morning and evening, and the supplies for us to pack our lunch each day! They provided awesome meals/supplies for us! They also provided sleeping and shower facilities along with the necessary supplies to clean up. The facilities were very adequate and fee was minimal.
After lunch Thursday, we had no jobs for our team so we packed for the return trip and started home around 2 p.m.
God Blessed our team with great people/facilities to work from, and great people to work for. We had no major injuries sustained by our team, and a fun trip to/from Rockport!

Furnishing International had the pleasure of attending the Export Furniture Exhibition (EFE) earlier this month, an international furniture exhibition organised by the industry, for the industry. With over 14 years of experience since its inaugural event in 2005, it truly was an event not to be missed.
Regarded by industry experts as one of Asia’s premier sourcing platforms, and a strategic gateway to beyond Asia, EFE is a regional – international furniture exhibition and an export B2B trade fair, presented by the Malaysian Furniture Council (MFC) and organized by EFE Expo Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned company of the MFC.
We had the opportunity to speak with many of the key players at the fair, one of which caught our particular attention – Crownlivin.
Speaking with Sales and Marketing Director of Crownlivin, Steven Wong he tells us that Crownlivin are a one-stop-shop for consumers. Their furnishings provide consistency throughout the home, due to their all-encompassing approach to furniture. Not only do they provide modular consoles, but they also provide the sofas and dining tables, all of which stay true to one of their five themes. According to Steven, this is what gives them their competitive edge.
He states that people who are looking to buy furniture want to visualise the concept before committing to purchase, which is why shopping at Crownlivin, a manufacturer who provides everything in one place, is much easier than going from store to store to buy individual pieces. He believes going from ‘shop A to shop B, makes the concept much harder to visualise.’ While Crownlivin are currently only providing furnishing solutions for living spaces, Steven tells us that they are looking to expand into studies and bedrooms at some stage this year.
The company is also looking to integrate smart technology within their consoles in the future, and already offers touch lighting and integrated charging docks within some of their designs.
Steven says the benefits of exhibiting at fairs such as EFE as a manufacturer is that they can network with potential buyers as exporting is part of their sales channel for their continued growth.
Stay tuned for more exclusive interviews from the grounds of EFE in the days to come!
Furnishing International is a proud media partner of the Export Furniture Exhibition Malaysia.

The year 1957 was a watershed one for Corvette. After a transformational season of racing and development that saw Corvette come into its own as a high-performance sports car on the international stage, sales climbed from 3,467 in 1956 to 6,339. The 265 CI small-block V-8 was bumped out to 283 cubic inches, base power climbed from 210 HP to 220 HP, and enthusiasts finally got to experience the joys of working a 4-speed manual transmission. This unique 1957 Corvette convertible has been driven just over 6,000 miles since The Last Detail of Chicago specially restored it for a three-time NBA championship-winning Chicago Bulls basketball player. As part of the restoration, the driver’s foot well was extended and a custom seat installed, both to accommodate his height. The car was recently returned and the original seat reinstalled, but the foot well remains as modified, with the result that someone of considerable stature can drive this Corvette in comfort. Its fresh two-tone Silver paint shimmers, the bright Red interior offers a dramatic contrast and the classic '50s look is brought home by full-sized spinner wheel covers and wide Whitewall tires. Equipped with a performance camshaft and four-barrel carburetor on an aluminum intake manifold, the car’s 283 CI V-8 delivers an estimated 300 horses to a close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. This unique 1957 Corvette has been thoroughly detailed and will make an excellent addition to any Corvette collection.

The guys from the tuning company Tra-Kyoto presented the renders of their vision of what a new generation Toyota Supra coupe should be.
Despite the ambiguous reaction from many lovers of the legendary Japanese coupe Toyota Supra of previous generations, the new version of the model is already enjoying quite good popularity. In fact, all European quotas for 2019 are already sold out, and the company will soon begin to accept orders for 2020.
A completely new generation of Supra is a great opportunity for various tuning companies to start working, working on creating various modifications of this car. Among them was the Japanese tuning company Tra-Kyoto. The guys released the first renderings of their new project and a video that shows what Pandem Supra is – exactly that was the decision to call the modernized car.
The combination of a Japanese sports car and a tuning company from Japan can only mean one thing – an outrageous appearance.
Super wide body kit, large fixed spoiler, stance style suspension and custom wheels. All of these ingredients are part of the Tra-Kyoto project, plus a few extra diffusers and a more expressive exhaust system.
Obviously, this is only the initial phase of the development process, since we are still dealing with computer drawings. The tuner does not provide the exact date for the presentation of its “package” of improvements, and we assume that it will take at least several months.
“There are no details yet … Please be prepared for future updates,” says the official Rocket Bunny channel on Instagram. Well, we will wait.

Rubber stamp likely in early 2015.
NBN Co expects to have reached a deal to resign its $11.2 billion definitive agreements with Telstra by the end of the year, with the network builder’s chief executive today revealing the two had reached material agreement on the new contract.
The Coalition Government had originally promised to have the historic renegotiation complete by mid-2014, but Telstra boss David Thodey recently said he expected the discussions to continue into 2015.
The signing of the new contract will be vital for the Coalition’s rollout of its new multi-technology mix NBN, which replaces the former predominantly FTTP-approach with a mixture of network technologies - including a larger focus on fibre-to-the-node using Telstra’s infrastructure.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull in February said the deal would be done “certainly by the middle of the year”, but delays in negotiations relating to where the responsibility for certain issues lies; the regulatory issue of the TPG fibre-to-the-basement threat; and the technical guidelines for the MTM, such as who maintains the last leg of copper lines stretched the discussions out.
The ACCC has since ruled TPG’s rollout of FTTB in capital cities was not in breach of NBN anti-cherry picking provisions, while the federal government is planning to force telcos undertaking such efforts to functionally separate their wholesale and retail businesses and offer rival service providers regulated wholesale services.
At the network builder’s first quarter results briefing today, NBN Co chief executive Bill Morrow said the new agreement was “very close to being signed” and the issue now was more around specific language included in the contract rather than any material differences.
He said he expected the deal to be signed before the end of the year, and the following regulatory and government approvals to stretch into 2015.
NBN Co is also working to resign its $834 million (in today's value) contract with Optus for its HFC network, which Morrow expected would be completed at the same time as the new Telstra deal.
NBN Co reported revenue growth of 32 percent to $29 million for its first quarter of fiscal 2015, and a 16 percent boost in serviceable premises to 639,927 as at the end of September. End users with an active service came in 27 percent higher at 266,984.
When questioned on the discrepancy in the amount of serviceable premises compared to those taking up the service - especially given NBN Co’s goal of 70 percent penetration for the 8 million premises to be connected by 2020 - Morrow said the penetration rate within the 15 FSAMs to be switched off copper indicated the “signs were positive” that the company would reach that goal.
He also revealed NBN Co had integrated all its 121 points of interconnect, and expected the remainder of the transit network - which will link all the POIs with 54,000 kilometres of fibre - to be completed this year.
Morrow also trumpeted the company’s FTTN trial in the NSW suburb of Umina, claiming previously announced average peak download and upload speeds of 90Mbps and 36Mbps respectively.
However, NBN Co chief customer officer John Simon revealed those premises were located close to the node - between 300 and 500 metres away - and the speeds fell to around 50Mbps when the premise was located between 700 and 800 metres out.
He stressed it was an “early trial” on a limited number of customers, and NBN Co would be able to achieve a more accurate statistical sample when it commercialises the nodes later next year.
“Obviously as you go further away, the line rate on the copper drops,” Simon said.
Chief operating officer Greg Adcock emphasised that only four of the customers involved in the trial were receiving speeds under 50 Mbps.
“This is a trial and we are learning,” he said.
“We do have an obligation set by the Government that 90 percent of the fixed-line footprint will be at 50Mbps and no-one will be less than 25Mbps,” CEO Morrow said.
NBN Co reported capital expenditure of $677 million for the period - with a total of $6.3 million so far in the project - and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $252 million.
Operating expenses came in at $281 million, while the company received $997 million worth of Government funding, bringing its total of the allocated $29.5 billion so far to $9.4 billion.
Average revenue per use grew four percent to $39.

... raspberry & cranberry sparkling fruit juice.
... aglio olio spaghetti with grilled prawns.
... organic chicken which cost RM78 and it wasn't even a turkey!
... the stuffing made with potato, shredded, which tasted like rice.
... pizza with hams and smoked chicken slices.
EL invited me over for the final dinner in 2009. I suggested Bumbu Bali at first then he said he would rather have Uno Pizza instead. Hence we met in Uno Pizza for dinner immediately. The menu was streamlined because the ala carte menu was not available for festive seasons.
The organic chicken was overrated. Though it was nice, least of fat but it cost RM78, which is rather too much. It comes with a sauce. The sauce was so nice that it made the chicken nice too. If not for the sauce, I guess the chicken would just be rather normal. The stuffing were rather special though as it tasted like rice.
Finally we had a pizza as EL was saying the more he ate, the hungrier he got. We ordered the Tropicana pizza which has pineapples cutlets which were rather sweet, ham and smoked chicken. The pizza was ok, but not that nice though.
PG was in town and he asked for dinner yesterday. Unfortunately, I had to join my colleagues for dinner because we just came off from OH’s office. So today I bring the lady out for lunch instead. He said he wanted something nice, premium perhaps. Definitely not something roadside or non-air conditioned place. I can’t think of anything for lunch, I asked him to ring DL up to see if he has any idea.
DL was too KO’ed from the early morning hike in FRIM, he said he can’t think of anything because his brain was sucked dry by those leeches. Anyway, I suggested that we go to Solaris since PG never been there. And perhaps we could try out Ole-Ole Bali. Yes, it’s my day off on strict diet this weekends.
Unfortunately, when we were there, DL said he heard of few not so pleasant comments on Ole-Ole Bali. Then I suggested to go for Michelangelo’s instead, since someone recommended the vongole pasta there. Well, the price tag definitely fits what PG wanted, though there were rarely any air cond because we were seated on the outside. All for the sake of nicer photos.
If I didn’t see any aglio olio on the menu, I would’ve definitely go for the vongole pasta. Seeing that I’m a sucker for aglio olio, I can’t help it but to order it. Instead of spaghetti, I asked for linguine. On the other hand, DL was tempting PG with his cup of Guinness Stout while PG can barely hold it.
... apparently, I was allowed to order a cup of fruit mix. Apple and watermelon juice mix. Not the 3rd type though.
... yup, RM9 cup of fruit juice and all I got was a cup of diluted fruit juice.
... aglio olio linguine. Doesn't look appetizing at all.
... PG's spaghetti marinara sizzle. The pan was seriously sizzling hot.
... this pepperoni calzone pizza smell damn good.
My cup of fresh fruit juice was rather exceptional. Yes, it was exceptionally bad. Look at how badly diluted it was. 90% water and 10% fruit stuffs. It was RM9 a cup, I bet they use Evian mineral water on this. My aglio olio linguine was really bad. Aside from the rather non-existent aglio olio scent, the linguine was rather hard, almost uncooked. The taste, it was bland and I can’t feel any garlic taste at all. DL was complaining north, east, south and west on that spoonful of linguine that he had. RM18.90 for a plate of nothingness. Very good!
PG gave me a clam and mussel. They were both juicy, though the clam was rather tasteless. It was mildly cook, so it was tender. I guess that’s why the vongole pasta was good. The mussel was sweet though. DL complained that the seafood was not fresh on PG’s pasta. That’s what PG said, the prawns were not fresh. And my comment? The sauce tasted like kerosene.
Somehow, the pizza was nice though. The fragrance was good and the taste was above average. Better than most of the pizzas out there. DL whom was lactose intolerant was liking it. He said he took the piece without those cheese on the topping. Yeah right, he totally sucking on the molten cheese the middle layer. Though the pepperoni was rather lacking but the nice fragrance and taste made up for the sparing ingredients.
With such pricey tag, I guess I won’t be seeing the lights of Michelangelo’s anytime soon. Though we found out that, on 3rd June (or onward?), Michelangelo’s is having 50% off promotion on their main course, provided payment is made with Public Bank’s credit cards. Perhaps I might stop by for… a vongole spaghetti.

Your resource for technology, design and marketing insights that impact today's business.
Your website is like a showroom. You've spent time, energy and money getting people there. The pay-off comes when these potential customers actually come to see you. They can check out what you have to offer and discuss the problems that you solve. How many people do you think will come inside if the door's hard to open?
Most will only get as far as your sidewalk. Some may take a peek through your window, but there's something really wrong with this door. It's like there's a fifty pound weight behind it, so getting inside takes a lot of time. A few might stick to it and go inside to see what you have to offer, but your street is filled with the showrooms of your competition. They're just a quick walk away and most of your neighbors' doors open with ease. They just walk right in.
Once someone's inside your showroom, there are other rooms where your visitor can learn about all your products and services. One room lays out how you've helped other clients. Another room informs the visitor about your business and the wonderful qualifications of those who work there. But all the doors to these rooms have the same problem. They take forever to open. What few motivated visitors you've gotten inside are probably heading back outside. They've got better things to do with their time.
Website visitors don't have the patience to wait while your pages download. Their time has value and no one likes having their time wasted. We're no longer in the internet's stone age of downloading over phone lines. People are used to and expect websites to quickly download. If that isn't happening they're not going to stick around to see what you have to offer.
They'll move on to your competition's website. If their website functions better and pages load faster, that's a competitive advantage. Their visitors will probably stick around longer and explore what your competition has to offer. It's a better experience because that website works like it's supposed to while your website offers visitors frustration and wasted time.
It's not just human beings who are concerned with the speed of your website. The search engines that get your potential customers to it care as well.
Search engines make money by attracting users, gathering their information and showing them advertising. In order to attract users they have to, like all businesses, give the people what they want. For a search engine that's not only an answer to a question or a relevant response to a query, but it's the practically instantaneous speed in which it's delivered.
Search engines have made huge investments in supplying relevant responses quickly. They don't want their users then slogging through slowly loading websites. So they test the speed of website pages.
Those that load faster are more likely to be listed higher in response to a query. More and more people are using mobile devices so Google sees a quick and easy mobile experience as more important than ever so it ranks slower mobile user experiences lower.
A fully functional, quickly loading website not only makes your potential customers happy, but also the search engines that get them there. LyncServe specializes in custom websites created by engineers who really know how to make your website look great and perform as it should, quickly. Don't waste your time, and the time of your potential customers, with anything else.

Delving into Facebook’s big data scandal.
Facebook has become a part of our lives. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to keep in touch with friends and family, or do a host of dumb quizzes to find out what kind of dog we are.
It was such a quiz that snared Facebook in its biggest scandal yet.
The scandal involving Cambridge Analytica’s use of Facebook data to help Donald Trump’s campaign win the 2016 US presidential election began three years earlier with a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The study by Michal Kosinski of Stanford University, David Stillwell of the University of Cambridge, and colleagues, involved 58,466 adult American users of Facebook. They provided information about themselves and took a test to classify their personalities in five broad categories: degree of openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism – or “Ocean”, as the test is sometimes called.
The researchers then correlated the “big five” personality traits with each person’s Facebook likes, an average of 227 per subject. This data led to a computer model which could predict a person’s race with 95 per cent accuracy, gender (93 per cent) and political orientation (85 per cent).
In 2014, Aleksandr Kogan, who runs the London-based Global Science Research (GSR), approached Kosinski and Stillwell. Kogan wanted access to the Ocean data set on behalf of Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL). The deal did not go ahead.
take the Facebook survey. But, for every person recruited on MTurk, Kogan also captured the same data for each subjects’ unwitting Facebook friends – an average of around 340 friends per individual. GSL suddenly owned a massive data pool of profiles of 50 million individuals across the United States.
Who is the detective stealing all our secrets?
In June 2016, the Trump campaign hired Cambridge Analytica. The campaign developed “dark posts” on Facebook to target uncertain left-wingers, black Americans, and young women to “suppress” their vote. Dark posts target users with specific profiles in specific locations; for example, news aimed at black Americans in which Hillary Clinton refers to black men as predators.
That’s how Facebook became weaponised, and Trump became President of the United States of America.
What do you know about Ocean, or the big five character traits test? Do you think character tests are valid?
What advances in technology allowed Cambridge Analytica to go after unsuspecting people? Is there technology around now that could have prevented it?
Facebook’s creator Mark Zuckerberg has earned a lot of money off Facebook being able to sell data. Is this ethical? How is it different from the way Cambridge Analytica used the data? If people use Facebook, should they expect to have its vast range of services for free?

OSU Lantern – Ohio State athletes will be running, but it won’t be for conditioning or punishment. On Sunday morning, the Athletic Training Club will host the inaugural “Running with the Buckeyes 5K” at Fred Beekman Park on OSU’s West Campus.
Dominating Wimmers goes distance The Columbus Dispatch Professional baseball scouts had their radar guns raised in anticipation of Ohio State ace right-hander Alex Wimmers doing his usual stuff, and that is to make batters look as if they are trying to hit a Wiffle Ball in a gale. Except something was out of whack shortly after the national anthem last night.
Buckeyes put bats to work to win series The Columbus Dispatch It was during the top half of the fourth inning when Ohio State coach Bob Todd began to get that familiar, painful knot in his stomach. Dean Wolosiansky was pitching, and a four-run lead was in the process of vanishing against Indiana.
OSU Lantern – Ohio State used seven two-out runs to top Indiana 10-8 Sunday in the deciding game of the three-game series at Bill Davis Stadium. A bases-loaded throwing error in the first inning by Indiana catcher Dylan Swift got the scoring started for the Buckeyes, who claimed a 4-1 lead in the first.
Wynn gets rings title in the Big Ten meet The Columbus Dispatch Brandon Wynn scored a meet-high 15.85 on the rings to win his first Big Ten title at the conference individual championships last night in St. John Arena. Wynn became the first Buckeye to win an individual title since 2007. He also finished third in the vault.
OSU Lantern – Though Ohio State women’s lacrosse lost to Vanderbilt Saturday, one player still had something to celebrate. Senior Kelly Haggerty scored her 221st point, breaking OSU’s record for most career points. “I was aware that I was kind of close to it and it was definitely something that I wanted to accomplish,” Haggerty said.
Tressel the perfect fit for Buckeye Nation Dayton Daily News The Vest has done it again. Depending on what poll, Web site or talking radio head is offering, Ohio State ranks anywhere from 2-5 for the incoming college football season.
Sports Illustrated COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -Justin Boren, who famously transferred from Michigan to hated rival Ohio State, is relishing his final year as a Buckeye.Three years after an ugly departure from the Wolverines, the senior figures to be an anchor on the offensive line.
Pryor’s improvement draws praise The Columbus Dispatch When asked to name a fellow player who has improved since last spring, Ohio State senior guard Bryant Browning didn’t throw out a name at first, just a position. “Our quarterback, every time he gets a chance to be a better leader, he takes that step up,” Browning said after yesterday’s practice.
The Columbus Dispatch – Ben Buchanan is looking like the best value on the Ohio State football team. He only takes up one scholarship, yet may end up holding down two jobs.
Washington remains positive despite on-field struggles The Columbus Dispatch To the outside world, Taurian Washington has been relegated to the “Where Are They Now?” file. That’s what happens to receivers who haven’t caught a pass in nearly three years. But Washington is still with Ohio State, and his teammates, at least, are glad. They see a guy who works hard, even when he’s buried on the depth chart. They appreciate his ever-present smile in practice and his willingness to help others.
Sabino’s opportunity has arrived The Columbus Dispatch Returning starters Brian Rolle and Ross Homan supplied Ohio State with two givens at linebacker when spring drills began this month. But it’s the little-known third fellow, Etienne Sabino, who is providing the intrigue. Sabino seems to be making his presence felt more each day because he’s now reacting more than thinking. That’s a good thing, according to co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell. It means Sabino is swinging into the fray with more frequency from the strongside position.
Sweat eager to return to action after surgery The Columbus Dispatch When they pass out the yellow “limited participation” jerseys at Ohio State football practice, Andrew Sweat is one of the most reluctant to put it on. The junior linebacker is five months removed from major knee surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is being held out of contact this spring.
Buckeyes making sure veteran offense has a spring in its step during drills Cleveland Plain Dealer Spring practice typically signifies the fresh start of a new season. That’s not how the Ohio State offense saw it this year. Halfway through spring ball, with practice eight of 15 taking place Tuesday afternoon, the Buckeyes, with experience throughout the offense, are thinking of this as Rose Bowl, Part II.
ESPN – As the incoming NCAA tournament committee chairman, Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will either preside over another traditional NCAA tournament or be forced to oversee the most dramatic change the event has ever seen. He says he has no idea whether the tournament will expand to 96 teams in 2011. But he knows what he’s for: keeping it the same or making a slight alteration.
OSU Lantern – When next season begins, the Ohio State men’s basketball team will return with four of its five starters from the 2009-2010 campaign. But the one missing, Evan Turner, left a gaping hole in the Buckeyes’ roster when he declared for the NBA Draft last week.
Lighty gave brief thought to NBA The Columbus Dispatch While Evan Turner’s departure to the NBA was considered likely and there were some murmurs about the possibility of William Buford testing the waters, little if any speculation was given to David Lighty leaving early. Not that he came close to forgoing his final year of eligibility, but Lighty said today that the thought at least crossed his mind.
Awards prove Ohio State Buckeyes guard Evan Turner grew into his role Cleveland Plain Dealer Ohio State coach Thad Matta kicked open the door of the gym during a 6 a.m. practice and told Evan Turner: “You either grow up or you go home. I don’t care which one it is. Here’s the door. It’s open, you can leave.” Telling the story Friday, one from Turner’s freshman season, Matta’s ending was obvious. Seated at the head table near Oscar Robertson, accepting a college basketball national player of the year award named for the Hall of Famer, Turner didn’t walk out that door three years ago.
Lavender named to State Farm All-America team The Columbus Dispatch Jantel Lavender was named today to the Division I State Farm/Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association All-America team for the second consecutive season. It was the third All-America honor for the Ohio State junior who previously was voted onto the Associated Press and U.S. Basketball Writers Association first teams. OSU sophomore point guard Samantha Prahalis was named honorable mention .

When I was up in the Falls, going to see the casino and we stopped at the place called Rock Burger and it was really a good experience. They had stuffed burgers options and it had everything from candy bars to bacon bits, and pretty much you can think off.
Jason Lizardo, owner of Rock Burger, said. That during the summer customers can wait up to 2 hours. That's why he opened up this second restaurant - away from the tourists - specifically for the locals.
They just opened up a week ago and are during about 400 meals a day.The new spot is on the intersection of Niagara Falls Boulevard and Military Road in Niagara Falls.The new location also features an expanded menu with items like salads and hot dogs.

The decline of bird species in a wide range of North American habitats-forests, prairies, shrublands, mountain regions, marshes, and deserts-has inspired two decades of intense scientific study of bird ecology and conservation. But for professional scientists and amateur birders alike, interpreting the results of these diverse studies is often complex and bewildering. This accessible book pulls together recent research on bird species and habitats to show how basic ecological principles apply in seemingly different situations. Robert A. Askins provides an engaging introduction to bird ecology and concepts of landscape ecology, focusing on such intriguing species as Bachman’s Warbler, Red Crossbill, Mountain Plover, and Marbled Murrelet.Understanding the ancient landscapes of North America and how humans have changed them, Askins says, is essential for devising plans to protect and restore bird populations. In addition to such obvious changes to the landscape as the clearing of forests and plowing of prairies, more subtle changes also dramatically affect birds. Species may disappear when we interrupt natural disturbances by suppressing wildfires or trapping out beaver, or when we disrupt habitat with roads and housing developments. Askins challenges some of the assumptions that underlie current conservation efforts and offers concrete recommendations, based on sound ecological principles, for protecting the rich natural diversity of North America’s birds.

This is kind of an interesting trick, and allows me to separate out all the RIA specific metadata from the original class definition. This makes total sense when you look at the way they handle LINQ to SQL, for example. In that case you already have Entity classes defined by the LINQ to SQL wizard, so this extra metadata class allows you to associate the right attributes without touching the (generated) LINQ to SQL classes. Clever. Notice that the metadata class uses fields, not properties, and just matches the names for the sake of simplicity.
In this case, the additional metadata defines data validation rules that get enforced both server and client side. There are other attributes to enforcing string length and ranges.
This bit goes in a file called Person.shared.cs, and it will be copied to the client project and compiled there as well as on the server. The [Shared] attribute marks the bits that need to be thus propagated. Again, clever. Of course, any such shared code has to compile in Silverlight.
With the Person entity all ready, I can expose it to the client by creating a new DomainService class with methods for Get, Insert, Update, Delete, etc.
PeopleData.Persons in this case is a List<Person> that’s populated with some sample data. The [EnableClientAccess] attribute causes the build-time bits to generate a client side proxy for calling the service without the client project needing a service reference. It really makes the Silverlight and the Web projects feel like parts of the same app rather than disconnected pieces.
The corresponding class that is generated on the client side is a DomainDataContext, which feels much like a LINQ to SQL DataContext only it’s lazy-loaded like the Astoria ones. The GetPersons method on the server results in LoadPersons on the client, etc. If I hadn’t implemented the Insert/Update/Delete methods on the server side, the DomainDataContext would simple behave like a read only data source. This model works really well with the DataForm class. If I set the ItemsSource of the DataForm to the Persons “table” in the client side data context, it will properly enable/disable the add/delete buttons depending on the capabilities of the data context. Neat.

Nothing absolutely certain is known of his history, as his earliest "Life", written in the eleventh century, has no historical value whatever. According to this extraordinary legend, Leonard belonged to a noble Frankish family of the time of King Clovis, and St. Remy of Reims was his godfather. After having secured from the king the release of a great number of prisoners, and refused episcopal honours which Clovis offered him, he entered a monastery at Micy near Orléans. Later he went to Aquitaine and there preached the Gospel. Having obtained, through prayer, a safe delivery for the Queen of the Franks in her confinement, he received as a gift from the king a domain at Noblac, near Limoges, where he founded a monastery. The veneration of this saint is as widely known as his history is obscure and uncertain. It is true that there is no trace of it before the eleventh century, but from that time it spread everywhere, and little by little churches were dedicated to him, not only in France, but in all Western Europe, especially in England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, more particularly in Bavaria, and also in Bohemia, Poland, and other countries. Pilgrims, among them kings, princes, and high dignitaries of the Church, flocked to Noblac (now St. Leonard). Numerous miracles are attributed to him, and in one small town alone, Inchenhofen, Bavaria, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, there are records of about 4000 favours granted through his intercession. The saint wrought the delivery of captives, women in confinement, those possessed of an evil spirit, people and beasts afflicted with diseases. At the end of the eleventh century his name had already become renowned among the Crusaders captured by the Mussulmans. He is generally represented holding chains in his hands. His feast day is celebrated on 6 November.

This is the third directorial of photographer turned director, Shine.
The wait for Poomaram is not over. The film won’t come as expected on March 9. The latest post by lead actor Kalidas Jayaram on Facebook says the movie would be released in the same month, on a different date. This is his debut in Malayalam. “Due to come technical problems, release of Poomaram on March 9 has slightly been extended,” the post reads.
The Abrid Shine film has been in news and trolls since it has inordinately been delayed for reasons unknown. Poomaram started rolling in 2016. Two songs from the movie were out in the meantime and both were instant hits on YouTube and social media. After a long wait, Kalidas himself had announced in February that the movie is slated for a release on March 9, putting speculations to rest.
This is the third directorial of photographer turned director, Shine. Kalidas made his Kolly debut with Meen Kuzhambum Mann Paanaiyum in 2016. He has one more film, Oru Pakka Kathai, awaiting release. Poomaram also has Kunchacko Boban, Manju Warrier and Meera Jasmine on board.

New to the library is the complete Remote Viewing home study course by David Morehouse. The library continues to grow with multiple copies of the good stuff as well as all the HRVG videos ie "The Hawaiian Moving Company", "the KBS documentary on HRVG, and the unedited "The Men Who Stare At Goats (Book and Video), and the complete Stargate Declassified Documents holding.
If you have something still out , turn it in, and pick out something new to go through.
I actually have the home study course of Morehouse but my version only goes from stage1, 2, and three. It was my understanding that stages 4-6 would come in a seperate new package. Do you have the complete course stages 1-6?
Also I did a target for you guys a few months back - any chance of some feedback?
The course in the library is only to Stage III. So that is the limit to that particular package.
We do try and get new things in the library and should David make available any further instruction we will try to acquire it.
The Guild library is a private collection for the use of the Guild and items are not loaned outside the guild. I will check with The TC on the work you did and see if I can build a fire under him for some sort of disclosure.
So Im guessing that I would have to take an hrvg course to be a guild member?
I think anyone in the RV community is free to come on in. You are welcome to come by any time and browse.
Although you never know - if I ever get the cash i hope to visit with all the viewers around the world fo a chat and some tuition.
I just got back a reply from Moorhouse website. The second half of CRV ( stages 4-6 ) is still in the works. It will be priced about the same as the first package. There is no ETA on the completion of the second half as of yet.
It's a good course, very well presented and comprehensive. The hrvg course is worth taking if for no other reason than to get a new perspective on remote viewing methodology. $200 for a six month progression/study is a steal. The money helps to keep the website operating.
You begin the course with learning the ideogram patter and producing the basic overall gestalt for the target. You are given taret ID'd to practice with. You send in yopur lessions via e-mail. You can also go to the past targets and practice with THOSE ID's as well. The following month you learn sponids. Each month is a new lesson until you have completed the entire course. It's probably not a good idea to do CRV while your learning the HRVG methodlogy, but thats up to you. Depends on how well you can focus as well. Again I really recommend the small investment.

A Peace Lilly can be purchased in various sizes, and can be used anywhere you need a punch of green and white. Increase the height of the plant by placing it on a plant stand or use decorative stacked boxes.
Orchids, available in many colors, offer an elegant look in any room.
Add color to any room with a vase of fresh flowers. You can affordably purchase flowers at your local grocery store, and add cuttings from evergreens to create a fuller looking arrangement. Keep it simple and pick one or two complementary colors that tie the home together. A flower that lasts up to two weeks and inexpensive is Alstroemeria available in a variety of colors.
Clean your entryway of any debris and clean your door and all windows around the door. Anything that is visible while standing at your front door should be swept and cleaned.
Use bright light bulbs in all outside lighting, replace them if they do not match in color.
Check your door hardware, if it’s old and cannot be cleaned or polished to look nice, consider replacing.
Add color that can be seen from the road.
Wintertime on the east coast is a time of dormancy, the primary color you see is from evergreens. However, you can still create outdoor containers, that you can see from the road, to enhance the curb appeal of your home. You want to produce the “that house is so nice and inviting” emotion in potential buyers.
If you want some plant inspiration, visit The Philadelphia Flower Show that runs March 2-10, the theme this year is Flower Power. If you need direction on staging your home to sell, call me 610.955.8202 or email to increase the value of your home to potential buyers!

Middle schooler Roy Eberhardt (Logan Lerman) is the perpetual new kid on the block. Due to his father's job, Roy's moved so many times he's lost track of how many schools he's attended (six since kindergarten) and how many towns he's lived in (that would be ten) in his fourteen years of life. You could say he's perpetually a stranger in a strange land.
This time, he's left the big sky country of Montana for the tropical sun belt of Florida and a sleepy Gulf Coast hamlet named Coconut Cove. The first thing he must do (if he is to avoid being called 'cowgirl' by his new classmates) is trade in his boots for flip flops and his western 'dude' shirt for a tank top. The second thing he notices is that Florida does not have 10 000 foot mountains like Montana, but is as flat as a pancake. Lastly, he quickly recognizes that, just like everywhere else he's been, Florida has its share of bullies.
That's always been part of the drill for the new kid in town. And, on his first day at Trace Middle School, Roy's about to meet the biggest bully of them all -Dana Matherson (Eric Phillips), a hulking monster with a girl's name who greets his new schoolmate by painfully sinking his fingers into Roy's temples and smashing his face against the school bus window.
But, in an odd way, Roy is indebted to Dana. You see, if Dana hadn't dug his thumbs into Roy's neck and scrunched his face against the glass, he would never have spotted the barefoot running boy - a wiry, blonde-haired runaway without books, backpack or shoes - outpacing the bus in the stifling heat and humidity.
And, if Roy had not spotted the curious, mysterious running boy (whom he finds out is called Mullet Fingers (Cody Linley)), he would not have met Beatrice Leep, the running boy's scrappy stepsister and fellow 8th grader who just happens to be the toughest kid at school. Someone who strikes fear in the heart of every boy at Trace, even the bully Dana.
And, if Roy had not met Beatrice Leep (Brie Larson), he would not have heard about the new restaurant planned for Coconut Cove - Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House, one of the country's most popular chains. Had he not known about the new eatery about to break ground under the watchful eye of the company's overambitious P.R. executive, Chuck Muckle (Clark Gregg), he would not have unearthed a disturbing threat to a local population of endangered owls, whose burrows happen to be right on the construction site where the malicious Muckle and his foreman, the dimwitted Curly Branitt (Tim Blake Nelson), are racing against the clock to erect their new franchise.
And, if Roy had not tried to protect his new environment, he would never have experienced the thrill of a lifetime, one that brings him into contact with potty-trained alligators, the nest of burrowing owls, a group of poisonous cottonmouth snakes with strangely sparkling tails and a host of quirky human characters, including corrupt politicians, the beleaguered construction foreman, Mother Paula herself (Jessica Cauffiel) and Officer David Delinko (Luke Wilson), the diligent but clueless local beat cop whose investigation into some mysterious, extraordinary circumstances at the construction site may just earn him the detective stripes he so urgently wants.
Roy's Floridian adventure is turning out to be quite a 'hoot'!
HOOT marks the feature directorial debut of Wil Shriner, a veteran TV host (THE WIL SHRINER SHOW), director (FRASIER, BECKER, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND), actor (PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED) and comedian, who also adapted the screenplay from Hiaasen's 2002 novel. Frank Marshall (THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, SEABISCUIT, THE SIXTH SENSE, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) produces along with singer/songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett, who marks his debut as a movie producer and provides five songs for the film. The executive producers are Toby Emmerich, Kevin Reidy and Gregg Taylor. The co-producers are Wil Shriner, Carl Hiaasen, Mark Kaufman and Michael Disco.

The company ARBOR is currently approaching 500 destroyed telecommunication sites or if you want transmitters.
ARBOR has become the exclusive partner for the disposal of unused mobile CETINs (O2) based on the 2016 tender. Liquidation is the final synergy of the CETIN and T-Mobile network consolidation project. ARBOR has used its long and comprehensive KNOW-HOW to build both mobile and fixed networks and has nearly 500 locations removed for nearly 18 months of the project. The project is currently ongoing, so the number is not final.

The total VR market will generate $5.1 billion this year, new report claims.
2016 is poised to be the year that virtual reality really gets going, as Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive are all scheduled to make their commercial debuts this year. Now, research group SuperData has put out a report (via IGN) that provides some predictions for how well the systems will sell this year.
According to the report, Europe will lead the way with $1.9 billion in VR sales (hardware, accessories, and software) during 2016. The North American market will hit the No. 2 spot with $1.5 billion, while Asia ($1.1 billion) and the rest of the world ($0.6 billion) will follow.
Put together, the VR industry will generate $5.1 billion in 2016, according to SuperData's report.
That's up from $660 million in 2015, when headsets were only available to developers. SuperData added that it expects the VR market to swell to $8.9 billion in 2017 and climb to $12.3 billion in 2018.
In terms of sales by model, SuperData predicts that "light" mobile VR experiences, such as Google Cardboard, will lead the charge with 27.1 million units sold in 2016. Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are estimated to sell a combined 6.6 million units, "Premium" mobile VR devices like Samsung Gear VR will move 2.5 million units, while Sony's PlayStation VR will come in last with 1.9 million.
By the end of 2016, there VR market will reach an install base of 55.8 million consumers, SuperData said.
"Looking at the consumer market in more detail, we observe that especially younger consumer groups show a strong interest in virtual reality," SuperData said in the report. "However, this consumer group does do not have the spending power necessary to support high-end devices. It is the more mature demographics that have the disposable income, with 18-54-year-olds saying they're willing to spend around $280 for hardware. Likewise, emerging markets like China are volume-reliant since average user revenue is low. Platform holders will initially heavily subsidize their hardware to build up significant market share."
The report also sheds some light on gamer interest by genre. Action leads the way, followed by Action-Adventure, Adventure, FPS, and RPG. Another slide from the report speaks to the level of interest people have in VR and how much money they'd be willing to spend on a device.
Take a look at both charts below to learn more.
The full report, "Virtual Reality Market Brief," is available as a free download here.
SuperData compiled its market estimates from a "consortium of providers," including developers, publishers, and payment service providers. The player behavior and sentiment information, meanwhile, was gathered from a survey of a 557 "qualified" US respondents in November and December 2015.
Oculus Rift preorders open later today. You can reserve a device without paying upfront--and doing so puts you at the front of the line to get an Oculus Touch controller when they ship later in the year.

When it comes to due diligence and tax structuring, it’s important that buyers consider the effect that the presence of a foreign corporation has on a transaction’s taxation and overall deal value.
The United States has unique rules that allow certain types of foreign entities to be treated as either flow-through entities or corporations for U.S. purposes. For example, if a U.S. corporation owns a German GmbH, the owner can elect to treat that entity as a flow-through versus the default corporation status for U.S. tax purposes. The general concept is that, in the United States, a foreign corporation’s income is not taxed until repatriated, and flow-through entity income is taxed immediately. As a result, it’s critical to understand the tax classification of a foreign subsidiary when conducting effective tax structuring; this should also be verified during due diligence.
The issues below apply when purchasing a business that owns a foreign subsidiary that’s classified as a corporation.
The United States typically doesn’t tax the income of a subsidiary that’s classified as a foreign corporation for tax purposes until it’s transferred to the U.S. parent. However, the U.S. tax code has several sections that may deem certain corporate actions to be transfers even though the parent didn’t intend to bring income from the foreign subsidiary into the United States. These deemed transfers result in the U.S. parent recognizing income to the extent of current or accumulated earnings and profits.
A common deemed transfer of unrepatriated earnings occurs when a U.S. parent pledges more than 66 2/3 percent of its foreign subsidiary’s stock as collateral for its debt instrument. This may occur when all assets of the U.S. parent are pledged as collateral for the debt instrument and the ownership of the stock isn’t specifically excluded. U.S. tax law treats this as a repatriation of income if the subsidiary has current or accumulated earnings and profits.
In some rare instances, a foreign subsidiary may be permitted to provide money to its U.S. parent without incurring tax as long as certain limits and rules are observed. If a target’s foreign corporation has attempted to make transfers to its U.S. parent that it believed qualified as non-repatriation transfers, pre-transaction due diligence should include a review of the transfers to make sure that they meet the stringent requirements of a non-taxable event.
If transfers are subject to tax, they’re generally treated as occurring on the last day of the foreign corporation’s tax year. If transfers subject to tax have occurred before the transaction, the U.S. parent would continue to be accountable for these liabilities after the transaction to the extent that they haven’t been paid. It’s also possible that the income would be reported within the period that the buyer owns the business. As a result, it’s important that the acquirer identify any exposures during due diligence so that protections can be negotiated.
U.S. businesses are required to file several returns when they own a foreign corporation. While most of these forms are informational, failure to file them accurately and on time can result in penalties as high as $10,000 or even $25,000 per form. These forms report a variety of different information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other jurisdictions, such as the activities of foreign subsidiaries, holding of foreign bank accounts or assets, or transactions with countries that are boycotting Israel.
Along with the dollar penalties, failure to file this information accurately and timely will result in a suspension of the statute of limitations for the business’s income taxes. The statute will not expire until three years after the date on which the IRS is provided the appropriate information.
When a target owns a foreign corporation, the buyer may make certain elections that can impact the utilization of the foreign corporation’s U.S. tax attributes. Some of these elections may have implications to the seller. Purchase agreements often make restrictions on the use of these elections, so it’s advantageous to negotiate before completing the deal. The buyer and the seller need to know the buyer’s intent with regard to the elections prior to the deal in order to properly calculate the impact that tax relating to the transaction will have on the value of the deal.
These potential issues make it necessary for a buyer to undertake additional due diligence when a U.S. parent owns a foreign corporation. The presence of a foreign corporation in a merger or acquisition raises some very specialized concerns that ultimately may impact value.

We all knew HoRam would blow it.
Well, the popular choice I keep seeing is Hurdle, but for once I'd like to see the Royals find someone who is good, and who wasn't fired from his last MLB management job. I say we give George Brett interim head coach and see if he's worth anything, mostly because we'd get some awesome quotes and video.
True, Hurdle really wasn't much other then the "Rocktober" run.
If the Royals did fire Hillman I'd like a manager like Ozzie Guillen I love, love his aggressive style.
And would Bob Brenly,Dale Sveum, Ned Yost be worth a shot ?
If not we could always hire Don Baylor :).
We really do need an aggressive manager like Guillen. This team, for far too long, hasn't had someone who can get in your face when you aren't doing your job. It's rare in today's game... But I feel it would be good for our team. Maybe it would have to be a player showing some accountability/leadership.

Are you really surprised that Salesforce went out and bought ExactTarget for US$ 2.5 billion?
A Giant in the Making?
Marc Benioff is a man on a mission, for Salesforce to be the world's "leading" CRM platform and the "market leader" in market and technology. That's what Salesforce is saying with its biggest acquisition to date.
This is not the first marketing platform to join the Salesforce family. Radian6 and BuddyMedia came before it. But ExactTarget is probably the biggest marketing automation provider in the industry that wasn't owned by someone else (Eloqua would have fit in here, but it was acquired by Oracle last year).
The deal is this: Salesforce will acquire all shares of ExactTarget for US$ 33.75/share in cash. It is expected to increase Salesforce revenues by US$ 120 -125 million for the 2014 fiscal year. Of course Salesforce still has all the hoops to go through before the deal is final, but the company is noting a July 31, 2013 closing date.
Salesforce didn't meet its numbers for Q1 only growing 28% to US$ 893 million, just US$ 100 million shy of its first US$ 1 billion quarter, but you can expect it sees ExactTarget as a way to meet and exceed that US$ 1 billion mark.
ExactTarget will slide in nicely to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud alongside BuddyMedia, Radian6 and Social.com. It will certainly provide Salesforce with end-to-end digital marketing capabilites that will integrate fully with all of the Salesforce CRM offerings.
And remember, ExactTarget acquired Pardot just last year to add small business marketing automation capabilities to its own platform, which in the end gives Salesforce the ability address any size business.
This acquisition holds true to what Gartner recently said about the importance of lead management in CRM. Gartner estimates that investments in CRM marketing automation applications and services, which includes lead management, grew by 20% in 2011 and 2012 and by 2016 will be worth in the region of US$ 4.2 billion.
Oddly enough, it did not put ExactTarget in the leaders quadrant for lead management, pointing instead to Marketo (which just went public) and Eloqua. It did however note that Salesforce is a niche player and ExactTarget is a visionary, so the combination of the two should make a formidable challenger next year (note that this was the first year, ExactTarget made the Gartner Magic Quadrant).
So...are you surprised? And what does this really mean for Salesforce?

Following graduation from the Kansas City Art Institute with a degree in printmaking and creative writing in 2002, artist and educator Ted Lee Nathanson began teaching art classes to at-risk and adjudicated youth through the Sentenced to the Arts program at Kansas City’s Chameleon Inc. While in Kansas City, Ted worked extensively with Waldron Boy’s Home and St. Vincent’s Center for Families teaching classes for children and adolescents. In 2003, Ted co-opened aAlice Gallery for emerging artists and performance. During that period, he showed his art at aAlice as well as in several galleries in Kansas City and Chicago. For the touring production A Road To Paris, Ted designed and illustrated educational materials as well as designed and performed shadow puppets to work in conjunction with the live actors.
After receiving a fellowship to the Ox-bow Summer School of The Art Institute of Chicago, and spending a summer as the printmaking technical assistant in 2001, Ted was invited to teach several two-week children’s workshops between 2004 and 2006.
Since returning to Louisville in 2004, Ted has taught extensively for the southern Indiana libraries, Frazier International History Museum, Speed Art Museum, Louisville Visual Art Association, Brown School, Kentucky Center for the Arts, Preston Arts Center, and Bellarmine University. With Squallis Puppeteers, he was the recipient of a Kentucky Arts Grant.
Ted acted as artist liaison and camp director for The Speed Museum’s Summer Fun Art Camp in the summer of 2006, and returned as an instructor for the 2008 session. Since the summer of 2007, Ted taught multiple comic book workshops at each of the Jefferson County public libraries, and has returned to teach at various branches regularly. In October 2008, as a guest speaker at the Fall Spectrum Of The Future conference, Ted gave a talk on ways to create effective workshops to assembled librarians from across the country. In February 2009 he continued training librarians across Kentucky , and as a result is driving across the state teaching at different libraries including Bardstown, Berea, and Frankfort. Ted has also lectured at the University of Louisville.
Ted’s artwork uses bookbinding, painting, and printmaking to create original and surprising narrative transitions. He has shown in solo and group exhibits in Louisville, Chicago, Michigan, and Kansas City. In summer 2012 his solo show at the Jane Chancellor Moore Gallery in Frankfort featured his comic ‘The Dragon and The Deep Sea. Recently he participated in shows with the Louisville Visual Art Association and will be involved the ‘The Forest’ show at Forest Giant design studios later this year.
In between workshops and classes, Ted has created GUMPOP!, an ongoing comic book adventure, and started the Louisville Cartoonist Society, a gathering of artists and writers. Ted edits the weekly LCS Cartoonist Spotlight in Louisville paper The LEO, and contributes the strip ‘Starbound’.
Ted finished his Masters Degree in Art Education at the University of Louisville in Spring 2013, and is eagerly anticipating working in a ongoing educational environment and having his own classroom.
I recently heard about your organization and was wondering what it would take to join and be part of some of your events. I am 25, live in Louisville, and graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts, the major being Sequential Art. I have several comic projects I am working on my own and would love to hear feedback on them and such.
Good to hear from you. It sounds like you should come to a meeting or two. I’ll add your name to the email tree and you’ll hear about our next meeting!
Hey I go to Louisville Collegiate School, and every year the seniors get the chance to intern for three days for a person of our choosing. I’ve read Gumpop and I think that I would really like to see how you go through doing that sort of illustration, and I was wondering if I could follow you for that time. It is from March 7th to 10, and i hope to hear from you soon!

Jazz Pakistan, in collaboration, with GSMA and Center for Intelligent Systems and Network Research (CISNR) is all set to lunch a pilot project with an estimated cost of 20000 pounds to reduce electricity line losses and power theft The government of Pakistan is also engaged with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for financial assistance of $900 million to implement the project across the country in order to control power theft and lines losses.
The pilot project, which will be implemented from February, will facilitate around 25,000 of PESCO’s consumers.
Jazz Pakistan has been awarded the GSMA Mobile for Development Utilities Innovation Fund, launched in June 2013 to test and scale the use of mobile technology to improve or increase access to energy, water and sanitation services.
The grant was awarded to Jazz for their Energy and Line Losses Reduction in Pakistan idea in collaboration with Centre for Intelligent Systems & Network Research (CISNR) & Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO), which uses an indigenous solution developed by their partner, CISNR, to address the biggest issue being faced by local power distribution sector; i.e. line losses and electricity theft.
Jazz has been successful in securing the seed grant after an extensive evaluation and due diligence carried out by GSMA. Not only telecom operators, but technology innovators and development organizations from Africa and Asian regions were part of the competition as well.
Empowering customers digitally is no small feat and requires constant reinvention and innovation. This is another commitment to that philosophy to address ease for masses as they access important utility services, said Ali Naseer, Chief Corporate and Enterprise Officer � Jazz.
We have partnered with GSMA for the ‘Energy and Line Loss Reduction Solution’ in order to improve the overall power distribution sector.
Jazz aims to ensure that the digitization of these utilities improves the quality of life for Pakistanis. The solution utilizes the connectivity provided by Jazz to remotely monitor and manage distribution boxes, transformers and grid station feeders to ensure a more efficient and precise process that identifies points of failure, faulty lines and theft locations.
The seed fund is to be used to source and install the devices in selected subdivisions of PESCO. CISNR will be responsible for the device units (Transfocure and Electrocure), whereas infrastructure hosting and connectivity will be provided by Jazz.
In addition to this, it will also address challenges such as load management at the transformer level and consumption-wise distribution in order to optimize the distribution network.
Successful execution and scale, through this grant, will surely prove to be a strong case for all other distribution companies, which are still not able to come up with a standardized solution to address the on grid-power distribution issues in Pakistan.
Dr Gul Muhammad, Founder and CEO CISNR, said that for the pilot project for PESCO will be launched from February 1 in Karhano market. Initially, smart meters will be installed at 250 transformers and will be financed by GSMA with a grant of 200000 pounds.
The project is likely to be completed within six months but it might be extended to the entire country within one year. The government is already in talks with Asian Development Bank (ADB) for financial support, he added.
Max Cuvellier, Head of M4D Utilities & Ecosystem Accelerator GSMA said that GSMA is already implementing the 53 digitalization projects in 20 developing countries, which have helped around 4.5 million consumers.

Faculty in the area of bioinformatics and computational biology apply computational methodologies such as databases, machine learning, discrete, probabilistic, and numerical algorithms, and methods of statistical inference to problems in molecular biology, systems biology, structural biology, and molecular biophysics.
Computational science and engineering, or scientific computing, provided the impetus for many of the early Computer Science departments in the 1960s. Purdue is one of the few programs nationwide that have consistently maintained a leadership position in this important discipline.
This group conducts fundamental and cutting- edge research in database systems, database privacy and security, data mining, web search, information retrieval, and natural language processing.
The distributed systems group focuses on designing distributed systems that are scalable, dependable, and secure, behaving according to their specification in spite of errors, misconfigurations, or being subjected to attacks.
The graphics group performs research in graphics, visualization, computational geometry, and related applications.
Faculty involved with information security and assurance are often affiliated with the university-wide Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS). CERIAS is generally considered to be the top- ranked such group in the world, with faculty from 18 departments at Purdue. Their research covers all aspects of computer and network security, privacy, and cyber crime investigation.
With massive data available from various engineering, scientific, and social disciplines, machine learning and information retrieval have played an imperative role in discovering hidden patterns or relationships between intertwined components, understanding properties of various systems, and making meaningful predictions for a variety of applications.
Faculty in the area of networking and operating systems are tackling fundamental problems at different layers of the network protocol stack, from the medium access control layer all the way up to the application layer. The group uses theoretical models, simulation, emulation, and extensive testbed experimentation to develop and evaluate their proposed solutions.
The programming languages and compilers group at Purdue engages in research spanning all aspects of software systems design, analysis, and implementation.
to fault isolation, various kinds of bug detection including those related to race conditions in concurrent programs, and specification inference for large-scale software systems.
Research interests of the members of the theory of computing and algorithms group range over many areas of algorithms. Also, much of the research reflects interaction with other areas of the field, such as information security, databases, and geographic information systems.

Ashkan Khalili, Garima Sharma, Alastair Lockwood, Sahar Awwad, Steve Brocchini, Peng Khaw; Proteins in solid dosage form (implantable tablets) for ocular delivery. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):1088.
Purpose: Protein-based medicines (e.g. antibodies) are increasingly being used for ocular applications with many in the developmental pipeline. Optimised ocular pharmacokinetics are required to achieve the best clinical efficacy possible. The risk of complicating side effects (e.g. endophthalmitis and retinal detachment) also rises with a higher dosing frequency. It is therefore crucial to extend the half-life of protein therapeutics in different ocular tissues (e.g. subconjunctival space, cornea, posterior segment). We have developed an implantable tablet derived from bevacizumab for subconjuctival implantation during glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS). The tablet showed prolonged release while in vivo studies confirmed efficacy to decrease fibrosis in a rabbit model of GFS. Our aim now is to examine the potential for other proteins to be used in a solid ocular implantable dosage form. This study focused on tablet fabrication using different proteins and the physicochemical characterisation of the proteins during tablet dissolution.
Methods: Proteins including RNase, lyzozyme, trastuzumab, holo- and apo-transferrin (1.25 mg) were fabricated into solid dosage form (diameter 3 mm) using a combination of excipients to protect the protein during fabrication and to prolong its release. The fabricated protein tablet was dissolved in PBS (12.5 mL) at pH 7.4,overnight at ambient temperature. The stability of the dissolved proteins was determined using SDS-PAGE and size exclusion chromatography (SEC).
Results: A range protein was evaluated including, bevacizumab (149 kDa), RNase (13.7 kDa), lysosome (14.7 kDa), trastuzumab (148 kDa), holo-transferrin (≈70kDa) and apo-transferrin (≈70kDa). They were all successfully fabricated into a solid dosage form for implantation (diameter 3 mm). An aseptic fabrication process can be performed when required for biological studies. Both SEC and SDS PAGE studies showed minimum aggregation of the proteins evaluated upon tablet dissolution after 12 h.
Conclusions: Using a bevacizumab tablet that we developed as a template, we have found that different proteins can be used to fabricate solid tablets for ocular implantation. Dissolution of these tablets occurs without significant protein aggregation.
