Reddit is one of the most beautiful places on the internet. That is, once you've learned to navigate it's enormous well of content. Reddit is labyrinth. Our Subreddit Central series cherry pick the best subreddits for content gold, and save you the trouble of learning anything at all. One of the best-loved and most unique features on Reddit is their AMA ("ask me anything") series. People with unusual and interesting circumstances (often celebrities) field live questions from Redditors. These circumstances range from being president of the United States, to being president of Microsoft, to being a man with two functioning penises. If you don't have questions you'd like to ask a person in any of those situations, you suffer from a criminal lack of curiosity and imagination. And truthfully, some interesting responses are guaranteed regardless of who is opening themselves to these public interviews. Moderators may remove deliberately provocative questions, but the democratic comment voting system on Reddit is largely self-regulating. The best questions, comments, and answers will inevitably rise to the top on waves of Redditor karma. The ill-thought out contributions will sink to the bottom. The subreddit has a schedule of upcoming AMA times, so you can easily schedule the events into your day, and the option to request future AMAs from your personal heroes. The first president to appear on Reddit, also the first with the opportunity to do so. Part of the president's ably crafted 'approachable man of the people' image, gives some fresh insight into both the position and the man himself. But little insight into his political scandals. Bill Murray here: OK, I'll TALK! I'll TALK! Chris Hadfield is a Canadian hero. He's also clearly a Reddit addict, since he's done at least three AMAs to date. This one was conducted from space however, and is therefore the best. I am the guy with two penises. AMA. Yes, they both work. Yes, you can see them. Yes, it's kind of weird. I am "Weird Al" Yankovic – Ask Me Anything! He's not as weird as his name implies. A genial, well grounded man with a great deal of talent, who is as warm to his fans online as he is in real life. I am Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones). AMA! Tyrion Lannister might be the most well written dwarf character in history, aside from being an amazing character regardless of dwarfism. His condition influences every aspect of Tyrion's life, but one of his great strengths is the refusal to let it define him or his existence. Peter Dinklage brought the character to life in the HBO adaptation, and here responds to questions both personal and GoT heavy. Jerry Seinfeld here. I will give you an answer. One of the most successful and well-respected comedians of all time takes time from counting his enormous collection of cars to grace us with his presence. An ongoing mystery. I'll spoil this for you now – the Reddit does not solve the mystery of who this man is, where he came from, or where his family is now. Sad, but fascinating. Everyone loves Bill Nye. No explanation needed. I am John Fogerty – former leader of CCR. AMA. Nobody loves John Fogerty, but everybody loves CCR.

This is recommended for new customers to prefill the next few months with appointments in your Calendar. This will also cause Message Manager to begin sending text message appointment reminders. 7. Select the Line item that occurs on your oil changes. Once selected, the system will analyze history records to determine vehicles that have had an oil change performed in the past, have not returned for service and have a predicted appointment into the future. 8. Select the interval to apply to the analysis. By default, 3 months is selected. Increasing the interval will increase the number of appointments that can be booked. It is not recommended to go higher than 6 months. Posted by: Tim McDonnell - Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 1:25 PM. This article has been viewed 10343 times.

Pilkington Building Products has launched Eclipse Advantage, a solar control glass said to provide high light transmittance, reduced solar glare and subtle reflectivity. The company says the glass uses a pyrolytic coating to enable it to be cut, toughened, bent or fabricated into insulating glass units using standard manufacturing techniques. The pyrolytic process means the coating is chemically bonded to the glass at molecular level said to produce a harder, durable and stable material. The product is available in six colours including blue, grey, green and bronze and can be supplied in 4, 6 and 8 mm thicknesses. Ash & Lacy has collaborated with surface treatment technology company Keronite to develop a finish for Ashtech rainscreen cladding said to be resistant to harsh environmental conditions, such as coastal areas. Keronite's process is called Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation and it transforms the soft aluminium substrate surface into a hard ceramic coating that is said to resist corrosion, heat and wear. The manufacturer says the thin ceramic layer is atomically bonded to the aluminium, which prevents problems such as peeling or chipping. Formica has extended its woodgrain laminate range with the introduction of a surface finish called Naturelle, which has been developed to meet the growing demand for textured finishes. Naturelle's matt appearance is said to resemble that of planed, oiled or wax-treated wood. Outokumpu, a supplier of copper sheets and strips, has launched a process to provide prepatinated copper sheet that can be cut to any length. The Nordic Green Plus Prepatinated sheet has a green patina said to be similar to that formed over many years of exposure. The factory-prepared and prepatinated coils are available in traditional green or stippled "living green" finishes. Alsecco, a supplier of architectural facades, has developed a system called Alsecco One-Way to apply render more quickly. Instead of being applied with a hawk and trowel, render is sprayed on from a portable container then levelled out. The company says the spray nozzle stretches to a distance of 50 m from the container and that each container can hold the equivalent of 40 buckets of render. This is said to save time and minimise accident risk on site because workers do not have to constantly climb up and down ladders to replenish their buckets. Paroc Panel System UK has launched a framing system, designed in collaboration with aluminium window maker Aluman, to work with its structural cladding panels. Called the IFS system, it allows window and door units to be installed on site by being clicked into place onto the fixings, reducing build times. The manufacturer says the units do not require additional flashings or secondary structural support because they are delivered to site complete with integrated profiles. Technal has supplied architectural aluminium glazing to two buildings at the University of Limerick's campus. Technal has supplied architectural aluminium glazing to two buildings at the University of Limerick's campus. Designed by Murray O'Laoire Architects, the buildings feature Technal's grid curtain walling along with timber and zinc cladding and glazing, and top-hung casement windows. Welsh Slate's products have been specified for Swansea's £30m National Waterfront Museum. Architect Wilkinson Eyre selected 195 m2 of heather-blue slate, 125 m2 of heather-red and 248 m2 of dark blue-grey from Welsh Slate's Cwt-y-Bugail quarry in Snowdonia. The slate was installed as a facing material on prefabricated precast concrete panels. A research paper prepared by the University of Southampton on behalf of the Copper Development Association is said to show that the use of copper could help prevent the spread of flu. The association claims the paper shows that influenza A viruses, which include the bird flu strain, are virtually eradicated within six hours on copper surfaces. The study recommends the use of uncoated copper or high-copper alloys for door knobs and handles, push plates, countertops and sinks, to help minimise cross-contamination. Ward Insulated Panels has published a 400-page technical handbook on its range of insulated panels for roofs and walls. The manufacturer says the guide includes construction details, technical specifications, performance data, load tables and model specifications. It also covers ancillary products, fasteners and sealants and offers assembly guidance. SFS intec, a manufacturer of fasteners for roofing and cladding systems, has published a six-page brochure entitled Non-Austenitic Stainless Steel Fasteners. The guide helps specifiers choose the most appropriate grade of fastener material in order to avoid corrosion and maintain the integrity of the building during its lifetime. The brochure also provides a guide to common fastener applications in twin-skin, aluminium raised seam, composite panel and membrane roofs. Woodcare manufacturer Sadolin has published three specification guides on its exterior and interior timber protection products. The brochures cover Sadolin's translucent and opaque exterior coatings and heavy duty and polyurethane varnish for wood floors and interiors. The guides also provide illustrated examples of residential and commercial applications. An 18-page Guide to Copper in Architecture has been published by the trade body Copper in Architecture. It lists sources, characteristics, recycling and cost-effectiveness of copper sheet when used for roofing and cladding. The guide also covers environmental issues and copper lifecycles. Uniglaze 2, a manufacturer of sealed units and toughened glass, has moved into a £12m production facility in East Anglia. The company says it has invested in equipment including three automated computerised toughening plants and five automated sealed unit lines. The move will provide extra space and help the company keep up with orders, as new energy regulations have lengthened the time it takes to produce sealed window units. The Society of Facade Engineering has been formed by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers along with the Institution of Structural Engineers and the RIBA. The body was set up to establish better collaboration between architects, structural engineers, service engineers and facade engineers in an attempt to improve the performance of facades and to encourage professional development and best practice.

Why was a warlord allowed to sue a British journalist? Ask chancellor Jeremy Hunt to explain himself 'As a former editor, I welcome many of these proposals': Response to Media Reform recommendations Andreas Whittam Smith Some of the recommendations for media reform by the Co-ordinating Committee are the best I have seen. At least they work with the grain of journalism as it is conducted. I shall mention those that seem to me to be workable. Statutory right of reply. The problem for editors in operating a strict right of reply - the response to appear with the same prominence and in the same place as the original article – was that, as I felt, it resulted in having to carry the wrong story in the wrong place on the wrong day. That is why nobody would do it. But the Co-ordinating Committee proposes instead that a right of reply should be summarised in a mistakes and clarifications section in the print edition and that item would cross refer to the online edition where the 'reply' would be reproduced in full, without comment, immediately below the offending article. Were I still an editor, I could live with that. Membership of a 'News Publishing Commission' that would replace the present body, the Press Complaints Commission. Here it is proposed that publications that choose not to become members of the new body, and to conduct themselves according to its principles would lose their VAT exemption. This seems a clever idea if the Government would pass the necessary legislation, though it may run counter to the old principle that all taxpayers in a particular class should be treated equally. Creation of a News Ombudsman who could operate as a first port of call for members of the public. Newly created News Tribunals, modelled on employment tribunals, would adjudicate on cases that are not resolved by the Ombudsman. This has the merit of being constructed in such a way that it could operate swiftly, though nobody can quite keep up with the 24 hours news cycle. Cross ownership rules and clear upper ceilings on the share across media markets. If tough rules limiting market share, such as apply to many industries, had been applied to the Murdoch empire 30 years ago, most of the problems that have since arisen would have been avoided. The Co-ordinating Committee proposes that any supplier with a 15 per cent share in a designated media market should be subject to a public interest test in respect of any merger or acquisition in the same or another media market. Yes, please, with the proviso that the test should be statutory and not subject to decision by government ministers. Likewise, I approve of the proposal that the maximum permitted holding of 30 per cent, again so long as no exceptions can be permitted. That is really the key point. No exceptions. The ownership rules to be rigidly enforced. If this means that publishing magnates are forced to sell some of their holdings, perhaps at an unfavourable time, so be it. How do we reform Britain's media? CCMR proposals and responses

Financial extreme risks revolve around solvency. The interconnected nature of the modern financial system and high levels of leverage mean that insolvency for one institution can quickly become a systemic problem. The primary triggers are falling asset prices and incomes. Financial risks can be self-generated (falling asset prices) and transmitted to the real economy, or generated by a recession in the real economy which reduces incomes and transmits to the financial sector through loan defaults. With public sectors increasing their leverage (debt to GDP ratios) we believe the risk of excessive debt will persist for a number of years. Economic extreme risks are less homogenous, ranging from a deflationary depression to hyperinflation and a return to a gold standard. The deflationary depression risk appears to have been reduced through policy action, but remains a potential hazard, in that it may not be possible for governments to counteract any future drop in demand. There has been an extended period of over-consumption (Western economies) meaning that businesses have built productive capacity to satisfy a level of demand unlikely to be reached for a number of years, as households increase their savings rate. The primary consequence of a depression is a sharp, and prolonged, increase in unemployment, with effects including a drop in consumption, restriction of credit, shrinking output, investment and numerous bankruptcies. This would be bad for asset prices and it is likely that there would be a flight to the safety of sovereign (nominal) bonds. The other economic risks essentially assume that government actions are successful, but at a price. A currency crisis - the breaking of a fixed exchange rate or expectation of a significant self-fulfilling devaluation, perhaps due to budget policy mismanagement or a lack of central bank reserves - could be profited from by holding unhedged foreign assets, but is likely to be disruptive to domestic asset returns, at least in the short term: the crisis will have been triggered by some form of economic malaise, reflected in lower asset prices. A currency collapse severely reduces a country's purchasing power and hence wealth. To the extent that domestic borrowing has occurred in foreign currencies, the cost of servicing that debt will rise, and hence increase the risk of default. At a more micro level, the equities of exporters should perform better than those of importers. Hyperinflation wipes out the purchasing power of savings, provokes extreme consumption and hoarding of real assets, causes the monetary base to flee the country, and investment ceases. The risks associated with sovereign default include penalty costs applied by external creditors on future finance and banking crises, as domestic banks tend to be large holders of sovereign debt. It is possible, that gold would act as a hedge against these risks, particularly as they would increase the likelihood of a return to a gold standard. We do not envisage that in the near future because escalating money creation is currently working fairly effectively to prevent a depression. However, should these efforts result in rising inflation, then the return to a gold standard would have a higher probability in future. Our third category of extreme risks mostly derive from politics, but includes climate change and killer pandemics. There is a high degree of uncertainty attached to any estimate of the likelihood of occurrence, and these risks will also tend to be much harder to monitor and predict - with the exception, perhaps, of protectionism. In most cases, these risks will be hard to hedge. For example, hedging the break-up of the euro may involve the use of credit default swaps (CDS) contracts, which introduce different risks. Adding food and water exposure to a portfolio may hedge climate change but might run the risk of confiscation in precisely the circumstances in which they became most valuable. Rather than attempt to give each risk a probability (the quantitative route), we assign them one of three risk categories - 'low', 'very low' and 'very, very low' (figure 1). We also assign each risk to an impact category: high implies a significant impact on most asset and liability values, medium a material impact on some values, and low an impact on a few values where the significance could vary. A subjective scoring system, combining the impact and the risk together with the degree of uncertainty in assessing the risk, produces a ranking (figure 2). We also show an 'association' matrix (figure 3). We use the term 'association' rather than correlation to communicate that this is a qualitative assessment of whether events are likely to occur together rather than a quantitative assessment of past data. This clearly indicates that we see the financial risks and several of the economic risks to be associated. A second cluster can be seen between the political and economic risks: for example, we assess that protectionism and depression have a high association. The primary causality is likely to run from depression to protectionism but we would also argue there is a weak causality in the other direction, as greater protectionism would weaken economic growth. Also clear from the matrix is that climate change and killer pandemic are truly independent risks. They may be loosely related themselves, but otherwise only intersect with political crisis (where the causality could conceivably work either way).

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart argument video Obviously by now, you have all seen the Rob & Kristen argument vid. If you have not, then I dont know how or why you came to find my blog. The night starts further back. It starts back at like 7 PM when 3 or 4 hounds & paps were waiting at the residence with myself. At that time we were considering going to check out a red carpet event for the VIFF that apparently Jodelle Ferland & Daniel Curmore were scheduled to attend. This was the plan for a couple hours, infact it was the plan right up until I was ready to leave when things changed. Before we were about to leave I went for a short bathroom break. While doing so I got a call telling me Sam Bradley, Robs good friend was playing a short set at a fashion show, and that this was going to happen in less than 20 mins. I got back to where I was & was simply going to tell my friends "I gotta go" since theres an understanding that sometimes, no matter how good of friends you are, you cant share certain info if its someone elses. Ironically this would bite me in the butt again a bit later. So guess turnabout is fair play. Before I had a chance to leave I found out they too had the info. So with the cat out of the bag, we all left for this event. When we got there we found out the event was small & frankly, not a Rob type of environment. But, we sat on it incase. Afterall, this was Sams last night in town before he started a large 2 month tour. & we suspected Rob was going to see him at some point. The show ended & Sam left with his gf. No Rob. We then decided at that time to see if we could generate any leads & left the scene. Shortly after, I got a text from one of the various fans that ask ME for info usually. In it she asked if I had heard anything of the cast being in Kits. I had not & phoned her back to hear if she had more info on it. But got no reply. So I decided it wasnt overly worth pursing yet since thats a large area to cover & with no exact lead, not enough to go on. We decided to break into 2 units out of the group I was with at the time. We scoured the Gastown & Yaletown areas & some of the other notable hotspots. We were still empty & my friend decided to take a chance & check out the Kits lead. We scoured the area. Ironically, we didnt plass the 2-4 block stretch where they would be. After deciding there was nothing to go on immediately, we sat down & grabbed a bite to eat when we got a call from the other car "hey, have you heard of a place called Pinkys" he asked. The guy I was with, living near there had & we headed out for it immediately. Upon arriving I saw all the familiar faces there. Including someone who I had tried calling a couple times to see if he knew something, only to get his answering machine (remember the whole turnabout fair play thing.?). It was definitely the place. The place, Pinkys Steakhouse. We didnt have long to wait as we were some of the last people to show up for the event. Shortly afterwards Sam & a female were leaving. Got to admire Sam. Super class act. Even though he KNOWS why everyone is there, he still treats everyone with respect. Lots of friends of major celebs would scowl & look down at you. He truly is a great guy & its for this reasoN I actually hope he succeeds. Because he deserves it. We had a short chat about his tour & going overseas & he was excited to be going. Then he gave one final nod & left in a cab. Not too much longer after, John came out. Again, breif chat. He said their night was going well, chit chatted about the weather breifly, then it was time. The cab arrived & Rob would lead the charge. I had a great position & if I would just get it thru my head that situations like this are likely to generate little ot no autograph possibilities, maybe I would eventually clue in & just photograph or videotape. But I went for an autograph again. It wasnt going to happen. They beelined for the cab. Rob, Kristen & random woman who I have seen various people ID as Stephanie Ritz, but I myself cant confirm this, since I dont know what she looks like. The cab was leaving & the parade of vehicles were in pursuit. My driver was the lead car & had them from the word go till the final destination. On the drive there Kristen was repeatedly checking to see who was following. I've never seen her act so off about this. My friend even said during the drive "shes never like this". It was odd. Eventually we arrived at the hotel. We pulled over hastily & got out. No less than 4 people follwed up onto the property. Myself & my driver were a bit back & breifly caught them going in, while the other driver followed them right in. I'm not going to get into a 10 paragraph debate on right vs wrong of the situation. He even admits he hated doing it, so the level of unacceptable has certainly been set. My driver & myself went no closer than the doors, while he went right in & videotaped them waiting to get ont he elevator & of course, having the breif argument. The argument. Its why some of you are reading this. So here it is. It had nothing to do with the two random people that were there around the same time. Frankly, no idea what they were doing there. 1 of them gets in with R&K, so I dont even know if they were together, since the other one appears to leave. Quite weird & random & more importantly, irrelevant to the discussion. What you hear Rob say is "I'm sorry I paused.." This was undeniable. Oddly, I dont think I saw a single person say that in all the replies I saw places about the vid. Probably because people wanted it to mean more, or because arguing about pausing seems odd. Kristen replies "Can we just wait..". the second part there was disagreemnt over. " & do this in the elevator please?" or "till these people are on the elevator please?" I'm convinced it was the first, one of my friends thought it was the latter. In either case, kristen is basically saying in her own way "not right now Rob, people are here". It took awhile to figure it out, because we didnt get what they were talking about. What was he apologizing for? Perhaps we are wrong is our assumptions about the arguing point, but the dialogue was clear. Our assumption (all assumption at this point) is Kristen was annoyed at missing an elevator because she did her best Usain Bolt impersonation, while Rob casually looked to saunter at first, then realized he was supposed to be running. Seems silly by itself, but you can see Kristen was apparently in a bad mood & this annoyed her. When I posted that I called it "interesting material" people jumped to all sorts of conclusions. It is interesting, because you never see them publicly aruging like this. Personally, I was uncomfortable with seeing it because it was too personal of a moment. The videographer as well was unsure what to do. But he opted to sell it, as reality is, money is money. I can tell you he certainly does feel bad about it & I know many of you will debate how he can feel bad if it he did it blah blah blah etc. But people do things everyday they might not be happy about, have a choice NOT to do it, but still do....including most of you. The video will likely be spun by everyone to fit their needs. People who are pro-Robsten will say how its proof they are together because only people dating would argue over such a small thing. People anti-Robsten will say its just two friends having an argument. People against paps will point how this is an invasion of privacy. People who hate Kristen will say its proof shes a bitch. People who hate Rob will say how hes a pussy for letting Kristen walk all over him, blah blah blah. Stark reality is, NO ONE but Rob and Kristen...and maybe the other person that was with them in the cab, knows what the entire dispute was. Did we literally just hear 2 lines of a 10 min argument? Or was it literally a 5 second letting off of steam & forgotten by them? More importantly, who cares? I'm only discussing it because I was there & saw the vid before it was released & we debated over whether it should be put out or not. Otherwise my blog would have ended 4 or 5 paragraphs ago. Its not like they were arguing about a drug deal or where they hid a body. It was about "pausing". Seems really pointless, and if it were not for the over-analytical fanbase of this couple, it would be NOTHING. But because so many fans live vicariously thru "Edward & Bella" this matters to them...and because of that, this video is out there. Gossip cop & whoever else runs it are even MORE to blame. They bought it. They paid money for the material. Better late than never- Rob Pattinson leaves Bobby Long show- KStew bitch comment heard Sorry this wasnt posted sooner, but I really didnt think there was anything profound in it worth rushing to get it up. Its a few seconds ro Rob leaving in the cab at the Backstage Lounge show where Bobby Long was performing last week. Early on you hear the now infamous "Kristen you're a bitch" comment. Hearing it from where I was standing NOW, I have no doubt Kristen might have heard it as well. I was on the opposite side right near the drivers window & you can hear it quite clearly on my audio. Anyways, nothing overly amazing about the vid outside of that & the breif blips of Rob you see when he was lit up. But I know you all wanted to see some Rob...so here it is. Boneta pics- including 1 RPatts (grainy) and the mystery hoodie girl. So heres a handful of the pics from the Boneta restaurant. In the bunch is one of a girl wearing a hoodie....now call me crazy, but unless Kristen has a Nikki Reed mask, I am going to just assume its Nikki Reed. Call me crazy. Anyways. Except for a couple of the wayyy too close up shots, they are a bit grainy. I was trying to shoot without a flash, so I had limited light to work with. Robert Pattinson goes out for a bite to eat...with most of the cast. So as I just reported yesterday, Rob is getting the itch to go out. He considered it last night & opted not to. Tonight, he committed. A cast dinner (minus most or all of the human kids & Kristen Stewart) had a dinner tonight at Boneta Restaurant (which I have passed a thousand times on my way home, and always thought it could be a celeb hang out). The evening waspainfully dull. For hours we were staked out at the hotel with no sightings outside of Robs security guard going out to do laundry & have a jog. Rob had returned from his day of shooting scenes at Como Lake School pretty early & we were all convinced he was going to go out tonight for sure. The night dragged on, eventually it was around 9 PM when the first sign of life happened. Taylor Lautner left. A car trailed & found him at a restaurant just down the street, as it turned out he didnt eat there apparently. Just got dropped off there. Shortly after that the driver who followed returned & within minutes a cab with Kellan Lutz, Xavier Samuel, Ashley Greene & who we believe was Peter Facinelli left. We followed. They ended up at Boneta & soon we were hoping for a Rob & Kristen sighting. News would come to us shortly after that Taylor never went into that restaurant, but instead scooted across the street to grab Nikki Reed & Elizabeth Reaser & left. They were followed from ther,e but lost shortly after....ironically, close to Boneta. As it turns out, they got to Boneta before we did with the other cab. No one really knows when, but Billy Burke also showed up. Then it happened, and it was both sad & funny. With 4-6 LA paps, 2-3 Vancouver paps, 3 autograph hounds all just "hanging out" waiting for some of the cast to leave, who comes from across the street walking...ROB. Heres the kicker, NO ONE noticed him till he was literally passing them. With all those cameras in tow NO ONE was fast enough to snap off anything. He literally got in scott free. But where was Kristen was the next question. Kristen Stewart never came to the dinner. The ASSUMPTION (no proven fact, but strongly assumed) she went to dinner with her manager & brother, who recently got into town. An hour- hour & 1/2 would linger on, which included a multi person argument between the un-educated staff of Boneta & the wily veterans of legal loopholes, the paps. I videotaped much of it incase there was a need for it. In the end, outside of some unflattering comments & some light pushing, nothing was made & a truce was bartered between the manager of the place & the paps. I've seen how these "truces" usually work. Place theya re at says "we'll do the best we can to accomodate you". We agree & give them their space, and they try as hard as they can to fuck us over by sneaking them out back or side doors etc. With the exception of one nutjob who came out with Rob waving his hand going "no,no,no" they actually did what they said they would. They let us know they were about to leave, and didnt try to impeed our views, shots or anything. Quite civil in teh end. One cab showed up. I cant even recall everyone that got in. Just that I remember seeing Billy Burke & I THINK Ashley Greene & Nikki Reed leave. It left. A few more minutes would go by before the next cab was ready. It was showtime. Rob was going to come out the front door with 10 or so paps, 3 autograph houdns & a light dusting of onlookers. He came out, head slightly down, hoodie up, beelined for the cab & was in. Elizabeth Reaser and I THINK Xavier Samuel got in with him. From there they left & headed back to their hotels never to be heard from again. In the end it wasnt overly succesful for me or other autograph hounds. No autographs were had (except 1 Taylor...who left after everyone rushed out after Rob). Most of the paps there got something to satisfy their hunger & likely went away happy with the efforts. Like I said yesterday, Rob is dipping his toes into the pool a little longer each time. I expect more interactions to come. Hopefully next time I will have some actual luck. FINALLY..... The Rob, ... has come back......to the camera! After hibernating for more than a week Rob Pattinson poked his head out today. He was at the set for Twilight Saga: Eclipse & he was spotted by the paps & fans alike. At the David Thompson Secondary School which is the set for some of the high school scenes Rob was there to film scenes & the paps were there too...and FINALLLLLLLLY, they got him. They got him good. Photo company Splash News http://www.Splashnews.com got shots most everyone wanted to see, Robert Pattinson as EDWARD!!! I will not steal the images, instead I will provide links to sites that have (likely) legitimately obtained the rights to the pics. http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/08/first-look-robert-pattinson-vamping-eclipse http://www.celebuzz.com/robert-pattinson-shoots-eclipse-g130291/ This was so big that other companies on the job were a bit deflated from seeing that they got the shots everyone was there looking for. There was a sense of "what are we here for now?". But they still hung on till the end with the approximately 100-140 fans that congregated on the grounds hoping to catch a glimpse of the cast members. The cast was well concealed behind more tarps & gates than I've ever seen for anything. Sometime around 8 (I think) a cavalcade of vehicles left, including Robs, with his bodyguard in the front seat the chase was about to begin. I advised my friend to take to going the opposite direction of where they went since we had a bad angle to start. We caught up a few blocks later & followed him to his downtown residence, where several fans & paps were scouting the area. He drove in, with nothing for anyone to see. About 2 hrs later. Rob, Kristen, Ashley & Kristens manager were seeing walking along a walkway on the property....we thought we had them. We went where it lead....but they never came out. After 20 mins, KStews manager came out, talked with 1 of the autograph hounds, went for a short walk & came back. We still had things tightly covered. Shortly after that, her manager came back out...this time on my side. We chatted, he told me the cast had given up on going out, and that he was just going solo....then proceeded to leave on foot walking away, not to be seen again. We hung on for another 1/2 hr or so before finally pulling the pin. Although it was a fruitless day in the aspect of actually GETTING anything, it was useful in that Rob sightings usually lead to more. Things went like this last time. Nothing, nothing, nothing, breif sighting, nothing, nothing, breif sighting, breif sighting, nothing, everywhere, everywhere etc. I am hoping its the same. I compare it to someone testing water at a pool or the ocean. They dip their toe in first, pull away, then try again, then maybe a foot, then soon a leg, and soon they jump right in. Today he dipped his toe back into the pool again. Maybe tomorrow it will be a whole foot. If anything tonights near close call makes me feel hes itching to go for a swim. Maybe next time. Weekend Wrap - up....aka, fail supreme Friday was no picnic for me. It was my first day without a camera and I basically bitterly sulked about it. I am trying to remember going out Friday, but I cant. I dont think I did. If I did, it certainly wasnt for long. As it turns out from talking with a few people, it might have been a good day to be there. Turns out Rob & Kristen went out in the evening and NONE of the paps were there to see it. They were scattered about going for either Zac Efron or various wild goose chases. Even fans didnt see them leave. All that is known is that they were seen around 6-6:30 heading in the direction of the hotel by 1 fan, and another fan got a picture with Kristen at a starbucks. Besides the incredible miracle walk of K& R, there was little else that day. The typical sightings of Ashley, Xavier etc. It frankly sounded like, outside of that miracle walk by them, the day was a dull & boring repeat of most other days. Saturday I headed out early afternoon. I hadnt been there too long when Ashley was spotted going out. I went in for an autographand she signed 1. She then went on her way & I was excited, because Saturdays are usually productive & it seemed like a good start. From there the day dragged on..and on...and on. About 3 hrs went by before a Twilight cast member would be seen......it was Ashley AGAIN, this time she dragged Xavier Samuel with her. They came out of the front of the hotel. Walked around the building, back thru the massive courtyard, and back into the hotel. A total of 4 mins spent outside before they decided to go back in. Quite random, but it gave me enough time to snap off a few photos of them with the camera I have been lent by one of the local autograph hounds. People were suddenly revitalized, we were thinking a Saturday night would be alright. We were wrong. That would be the last cast member seen. Not even ONE single cast member was spotted going out for dinner, to grab a few drinks, party, anything all night. They were covered off till after 11 PM and no action. I find it amazing, and suspicious. But the fact is, everyone went home that night without anything. Sunday I spent VERY LITTLE time there. less than 3 hours. I heard reports of Bryce going out earlier in the day with Xavier. when I got there. One of the local hounds/paps here had what he thought was a big tip on where Jodelle Ferland was, who I needed & didnt think I would have a better chance....so I went where I was told she was. After waiting 15 mins with the tipster, his GF went in and came out & said it wasnt her. He showed me the pics he took, she was right. He had me come down there for some kid. Jodelle is 15, the kid he shot was no more than 10 or 11. I was glad he let me know when he saw someone he thought I might need, but obviously annoyed it was a failed venture. Back to the hotel I would head. When I got back it turned out the guys were planning an evening dinner somewhere, and I really didnt feel like going to it since I had other plans tentatively planned. Just before I left, guess who was seen coming back into the hotel from Subway. Ashley Greene. Oh Ashley, why do you do this to us?? I trhink there needs to be a rule with Ashley now. She can only come out if she brings a different cast member with her each time. If this were to happen I am sure everyone would have seen everyone in the cast by now. Anyways, a horribly bad weekend. Pics will be uploaded when I have more motivation. Saturday Twilight insanity- PART 1 This day was so long I dont think I can squeeze it all into 1 blog without it looking like a novel...which I have been told by some my blogs already look like. My day started with a late start. I didnt expect the mornings to be busy, so I took my time & didnt get there till about noon. I got there to find out Ashley Greene was out shopping. All the paps were off on that chase, leaving the hotel guarded by merely me & a couple fans. It was quiet, then I went to Subway & found Taylor Lautners dad there. I didnt speak to him, but he was clearly ordering enough that I got the impression TL wasnt coming out anytime soon. His dad left, and when I came out of subway myself, I found him chatting with one of the local hounds. He then told us not to expect much today, that it was going to be quiet there & that they were all in "lockdown". At the time, we didnt know what he meant...but we got the message, which was "dont expect much here today". Shortly after that I saw the tweet from a twilight fan that stated that Edi stated at a twi convention that the cast was apparently watching New Moon in Vancouver as he spoke. So we concluded thats what Taylors dad was referring to & figured we had an hour or more to kill. Myself & 2 others decided to go to a different hotel for a bit & see if we could see some non-Twilight stars. When who should we see??...a Twilight star. Kellan Lutz showed up there & went inside for a couple minutes. When he came back out, he had 2 bags, 1 that was like a carry on luggage bag, the other a shopping bag from somewhere. He posed with a fan for a pic, then hopped in a cab. There was no chance for an autograph, but I did snap a few pics of him leaving (will upload later when time permits...probably Monday). From there we decided maybe they werent watching it right now & headed back to Twilight HQ. Awhile would go by, with nothing of note, then a couple small signs of action happened. Nikki & Elizabeth left, in a production vehicle. Taylors dad went into the parking lot, we assumed to go get the rental car he had, and 1 or two other small things were happening that made us think the movie (we still were under the assumption that it was on right then) was over. When from out of nowhere a vehicle left. It was full. The only thing I knew was the guy in the front seat is a guy we have seen shadowing Rob a lot since he got here, and in the center of the back was Kristen. Two cars followed in pursuit, and my friend & I decided all too late to try & follow. We never caught up to them, but were given the heads up of their final destination. We got out to a warehouse area of West 2nd avenue to a place with an underground secure parking lot that multiple vehicles had gone down into. NOW the cast was about to watch the movie. It was 4 in the afternoon & they were JUST starting their screening. There was 7-10 people waiting outside there. No less than 4 agencies represented. Everyone knew nothing would be had of them leaving, but what they were doing was waiting to see where they would be next....and thats when things started to pick up (for part 2 later today).

The Calgary Police Service is warning citizens about a new twist on a common scam where Calgarians are targeted by scammers pretending to be Calgary police officers. In the latest scam, citizens receive a call from someone identifying themselves as working for CPS. The scammer tells the person that one of their friends or family members is currently in custody and to bail them out, they must purchase pre-paid gift cards, most commonly iTunes gift cards. The scammers instruct their victim to stay on the phone while they go and purchase the gift cards and to then provide the scammer with the gift-card activation codes before their loved one is released. In many of these instances, scammers used an online app to spoof the phone number so it appears the call is coming from either their friend or family member, or the CPS. In some cases, victims received a call from someone claiming to be delivering a package to a friend or family member prior to the scam phone call where they are then told their friend or family member is in custody. The scammer asks for that person's cell phone number so they can deliver the package. Scammers are also using spoofing technology in these calls so they appear to be coming from a legitimate delivery company. As with similar scams, offenders are using very aggressive tactics to pressure victims into providing money. These tactics includes keeping victims on the phone for long periods of time, threats, and harassment through frequent phone calls. So far this year, victims in Calgary have reported losses totaling $168,000 in scams where victims are asked to purchase pre-paid credit and gift cards. 60 per cent of these losses were in the form of iTunes cards, followed by 31 per cent of losses in the form of Steam cards. The average dollar loss to reported victims of these scams are over $2,500 each. The Calgary Police Service will never contact family members to solicit bail money for individuals who have been arrested. Citizens will only be contacted by CPS about the arrest of one of their family members if the person in custody is a minor. People who have been charged or are eligible for bail have access to phones to contact their friends and family members. Bail is not managed by the CPS and can only be paid in-person at provincial courthouses or correctional centres. Acceptable forms of payments do not include any form of gift cards, including iTunes gift cards. The CPS will never solicit payments in the form of gift cards. If a citizen receives a call stating that a friend or family member is in custody, they should hang up the phone make attempts to contact that person. As in all cases, if you are told you owe money, never feel pressure to provide payment until you've determined if the debt is real. Legitimate requests will not be that urgent. If your workplace sells gift cards be on the lookout for potential victims and inform them about this scam. Victims may seem very stressed and agitated, be on the phone and purchasing a large amount of gift cards. Always report it to police. If you have lost money or been the victim of a legitimate threat, call 403-266-1234.

The event will be held on Sunday, November 22. A lawyer and social activist, Hussen immigrated to Canada in 1993, settled in Regent Park and quickly gravitated towards public service. In 2002 he co-founded the Regent Park Community Council and was able to secure the $500 million revitalization project of Regent Park, all while ensuring the interests of the area's nearly 15,000 residents were protected. Prior to being elected on Monday, October 19, he served as the National President of the Canadian Somali Congress – a Somali community organization that works with national and regional authorities to advocate on issues of importance to Canadians of Somali heritage and strengthen civic engagement and integration. CAFCAN, a not-for-profit agency whose primary focus is on building and strengthening the service framework for African Canadians through the use of psycho-social interventional approaches, is an off-shoot of the Jamaican Canadian Association (JCA). Officially incorporated in May 2014, CAFCAN has now formally assumed full responsibilities for the social services arm of the JCA. CAFCAN was specifically set up to provide culturally appropriate social services, aimed at enriching the lives of the African, Caribbean and Diasporic (ACD) communities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Since then, the JCA and CAFCAN have been operating as two entirely distinct and separate entities. Specifically, since June, 2014, each organization has its own Board of Directors, each composed of different individuals, except for one seat of CAFCAN's Board of Directors, which must be filled by a member of the JCA's Board, and vise versa. The two Boards of Directors have separate meetings and agendas, and a separate Financial Management Policies and Procedures Manual and a strategic plan was drafted and approved for CAFCAN. Now both organizations have separate financial, organizational and operational management systems, including separation of budgets, assets and liabilities. CAFCAN has also developed its own logo, business cards, letterhead and website, and recently held its first General Membership Meeting, and the official launch event is the final piece, symbolically giving CAFCAN full fledge operation status.

Not everyone agrees with Elon Musk. There may be better plans. Elon Musk wants to go to Mars. Professor Stephen Hawking is eager to see us search for a new planet to call home. NASA is building an engine that could take us there. But would establishing a base on the red planet really be worthwhile? "Establishing a colony on Mars is incredibly technically challenging and expensive," University of Michigan's Aaron Ridley told Futurism. He argued that while the red planet is certainly "scientifically interesting," the enormous costs associated with a permanent station make it unlikely, especially given that establishing a colony wouldn't be a solution to a problem like overpopulation. One of the biggest obstacles standing in the path of a human colony on Mars is the price tag. Getting to Mars will be prohibitively expensive, and figuring out a method of paying for the project isn't so easy. "I think it would be a natural next step in our human exploration to visit the Moon and/or Mars, but to stay for the long term probably requires an economic justification," said Hendrix. She added that space tourism is unlikely to serve this purpose. Chris McKay, a planetary scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center, maintains that the only plausible economic motivation for a Martian colony is for it to serve as a government base, downplaying the possibility of either tourism or mining operations playing that role. Settling on Mars isn't going to make anyone rich, and that's going to make it more difficult to accrue the money required for such an expensive project. Still, despite the fact that a fully-fledged colony might not be the wisest direction for a prospective space program, there's still plenty we could learn from the planet. It seems that we're more likely to establish a base on the moon before Mars. While this has its own benefits, most would agree that the red planet is more interesting — even if it's harder to reach. "In terms of science, Mars is way more interesting than the moon," wrote McKay. He listed three main advantages: its similarity to Earth in terms of planetary processes and history, the possibility of life, and the potential for terraforming the planet. If there were no other considerations to be made, most would agree that a Mars colony could be a fascinating project. However, certain endeavors need to be prioritized over others, and right now it doesn't seem like a permanent Martian settlement is the best use of our resources.

This page is about the animation. There is also a 1997 magazine article called Creature Comforts. Creature Comforts is a Academy Award winning short made by Nick Park at Aardman Animations in 1990 before the Wallace and Gromit series. The basis of the show was that members of the British public were interviewed and then their voices characterised into talking animals which were then plasticine animated, leading to comical appearances. The creatures reappeared later as part of an advertising campaign by Heat Electric, advertising the benefits of electrical heating. The popularity of the series, characters, and adverts led to a longer TV series of the same name (with the help of Richard ("Golly") Goleszowski, the creator of Robbie The Reindeer and Rex the Runt). The new series premiered on the British television network ITV in 2003. The TV show was nominated for a BAFTA and won 2 awards at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, the Adult's Jury Award and the Children's Jury Award. The show also won a Audience Award from the Florida Film Festival. The DVD of the new series was released in America on September 27, 2005. An even newer series is due to air on ITV, starting October 30, 2005. Some of this page is derived from Wikipedia. The original article was at Creature Comforts.

With Mohanlal As President, Actor Dileep's Reinstatement To Kerala Film Body Takes A Political Turn by Swarajya Staff - Jun 29, 2018 11:36 AM +05:30 IST Mohanlal. (Sanjeev Verma/Hindustan Times via Getty Images) A controversial move by the Association of Malayalam Movie Actors (AMMA) to readmit actor Dileep in its ranks after he was expelled on charges of hiring a couple of persons to outrage the modesty of an actress has taken a political twist in Kerala. The decision has been criticised by politicians of Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India- Marxist (CPI-M) and Bharatiya Janata Party, while a few legislators who have links with Mollywood have welcomed it. On the other hand, the All India Youth Federation (AIYF), an arm of the Communist Party of India (CPI), burning an effigy of popular actor Mohanlal in protest against the decision to call back actor to the association. Malayalam daily Mathrubhumi reported that AIYF members took out a protest march to the Film Chamber of Commerce in Ernakulam against taking back of Dileep. The federation has also threatened to stop shooting of Mohanlal's films in Ernakulam district. Mohanlal is being targeted because the decision to take back Dileep into the association was taken after he became AMMA President. The decision has led to four actresses, including the victim besides Reema Kilingal, Ramya Nambisan and Geethu Mohandas, quitting the association in revolt. Their decision has been backed by some actors like Prithviraj. Dileep had allegedly hired a couple of people to outrage the modesty of the actress as she had reportedly opposed the actor's second marriage with another actress. The actress was abducted and molested in a car for two hours with the accused taking photographs of their act. Dileep had married his co-star Kavya Madhavan after divorcing his wife and another co-star Manju Warrier. Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac has slammed the move as "male chauvinistic attitude" and has been joined by his colleagues PWD minister G Sudhakaran and Fisheries Minister Mercykutty Amma. Kerala Women's Commission M C Josephine has come down hard on the decision, though a couple of state legislators K B Ganesh and Mukesh alongwith Member of Parliament Innocent - all part of Mollywood, have backed AMMA decision.

The Beatles are definitely the most acclaimed and successful group in music history. They are the best selling group in history with EMI records estimating their sales to over one billion units. They were also the best selling band in both the UK and in the U.S where they sold over 170 million copies. The Beatles also hold the record of the most number one albums on the British charts. The band managed to achieve 7 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for the best original song score. The Beatles were a four man English rock band formed in 1960 in Liverpool. The members of the group included John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney. Their main genres of music were rock and pop although they started out as a skiffle group. The group started small having to build their reputation by playing in clubs in Hamburg and Liverpool until late 1962 when they had their first hit 'Love Me Do'. Their subsequent releases 'Please Please Me' and 'She Loves You' then catapulted them to stardom. They became quite famous with their British fans and by 1964 they had gained international recognition. Their popularity in the UK led to the Beatlemania craze. They then released numerous hit albums from 1965 onwards until their breakup in 1970 when each of the members each released their own album. Their most influential albums include Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), The Beatles (1968) and finally Abbey Road in 1969. Each individual member of the group however managed to enjoy great fan support even in their individual careers after their break-up. McCartney and Starr are the only remaining members of the group today and still enjoy great success in their solo careers. Their music was described as unique and original and surpassed their time period since it still a great inspiration to this day.

With Honor Like Trumpets "In a time where anything retro seems to be in, WITH HONOR is a very retro band, bringing back old school hardcore to the forefront and embracing a time where message meant more than image". – The Underground Scene Over the past three years, With Honor has been helping to carve out a niche in the subgenre of positive hardcore. Playing powerful, unique, spirited 'core with melody puts them up at the ranks of likeminded post hardcore/punk revivalists Rise Against, Comeback Kid and Strike Anywhere. With their fiery youth crew spirit and uncompromised loyalty, With Honor has returned with their second full length release, This Is Our Revenge. Formed in 2002 in the hardcore breeding grounds of Connecticut, the members of With Honor banded together to "start a fast energetic band that had something positive to say. We wanted to keep the music modern, but using older influences as well", said guitarist Jay Aust. With Honor immediately established a solid team which consists of vocalist Todd Mackey, guitarists Jay and Jeff Aust, bass player Jack Caron and Jon Ross on drums. The band originally teamed up with Stillborn Records and released 2004's Heart Means Everything which was extremely well received by punk and hardcore scenes alike. With Honor toured incessantly in support of the aforementioned release with bands like Hatebreed, Sick Of It All, and Comeback Kid and gained numerous fans by playing festivals like New England Metalfest, Hellfest, and Skatefest, gaining the attention of several large independent labels. Jay said, "We chose Victory because of their strong reputation and our respect for the history and bands on the label. We couldn't have found a better place to call home." This Is Our Revenge was recorded in June of 2005 at the legendary Salad Days studios with the one and only Brian McTernan. "Working with Brian was definitely a learning experience. We learned how to look at song writing in a whole new way. In the end, Brian was able to find all of our strengths and bring them out to create an accurate representation of the band", Jay said. The title of their debut Victory album, This Is Our Revenge, pertains to the fact that music and various art forms provide an outlet from society and is a revenge on the prescribed way people are supposed to live. For the members of With Honor, the record is also a realization that rather than constant anticipation of things to come, these moments are the defining ones of their lives. Musically and lyrically, This Is Our Revenge is With Honor's strongest album yet. The band grew up listening to bands ranging from Minor Threat and Gorilla Biscuits to NOFX and Face To Face; they wear those influences on their collective sleeve. Lyrically, the band does not have one specific agenda. Vocalist Todd Mackey said, "On this album I wrote about politics, relationships, and spirituality. This album has been therapeutic for us as a band because we faced so much adversity in its process and more specifically our individual lives in the last year or so. I had some things happen to me that I hoped I would never have had to deal with in my life". There are lighter songs on the album, like "20 Strong", which touches on an unforgettable summer tour with Comeback Kid and Bane. Overall, This Is Our Revenge was born out of struggle and loss and is With Honor's most real and emotional offering to date. With Honor makes it easy to connect and believe in music again with their anthemic and inspirational new record, This Is Our Revenge. With Honor strives to affect as many people as possible in a positive way, while approaching music and their audience from a standpoint of mutual respect. Guitarist Jay Aust said, "It's important that people think for themselves and make decisions that are right for them". With Honor wants to help people realize their potential and inspire individuals to impact one another through words and actions. This Is Our Revenge hits stores on October 18th, be sure to check With Honor out on the road this Fall with Most Precious Blood.

Unfortunately, no matter how good your project team is and how well planned your project might be there is always the potential that your project might fail. Whilst ultimately the aim of any plans you put in place for a project you are managing should always be for the project to succeed, it is also worth planning for those issues that could lead to your project failing as well. Here, we take a look at the reasons why you should be planning for failures, and how you can work around any issues if you plan correctly. There is nothing worse than being unprepared, and whilst it isn't possible to plan for those unexpected issues that might set your project back, especially those that involve an external source such as a supplier being unable to provide something by a date, there are plenty you can plan for. Once you have written a plan for your project and know who is working on what and what timeframes each person expects to be able to complete work in you will have a clear idea of how the project should go. Now take a look at it and see what could go wrong and when. These are the things that you want to make a note of. It may be that nearer to the time you will want to make sure that things are going as they should be so that you can adjust other items of the project accordingly. By identifying and noting down these potential problems you may be able to avoid major project failure. Communication is the single most important aspect of working in a team and when members of your project team do not communicate then it can make things very difficult. You need to ensure that your plan contains plenty of opportunities for the team to get together and discuss the progress of the project. Even if they have been communicating amongst themselves there may be important pieces of information that have been missed out from these discussions and this offers you a good chance to rectify that. Success of a project is measured in a variety of different ways, and whilst it is true that completing the project with a satisfactory result is not in itself a failure there are several things that can happen along the way that would cause it to be such. If the project overruns, then it could be considered to have not been fully successful. A project that overruns may also run up bigger costs which again may cause it to be classed as an unsuccessful project. The fact is that many projects simply fail so planning for failure is a wise move that any project manager, apprentice or otherwise should be careful to consider. Planning ahead is a vital part of project management, as well as anticipating those unexpected issues that crop up. This is where you will need to use all your project management skills to ensure you do your best to work around them. Project Management - Tips on Creating a Project Culture That Ensures a ..

BAUTA, Cuba — Marisela Álvarez spends much of the day bent over a single electric burner in her small outdoor kitchen. Her knees are killing her. Her red hair smells of cooking oil. By the end of 2010, the government had awarded 75,000 new licenses, according to Granma, the Communist Party's official newspaper, swelling the official ranks of the self-employed by 50 percent. That is still a long way from the amount needed to create alternatives for all the workers who will eventually be laid off, and there is no guarantee that the market will support hundreds of thousands of freelancers. But licenses have been granted quickly, and the government has been encouraging the bureaucracy to keep them flowing. Streets once devoid of commerce in towns like this and in Havana are gradually coming to life as people hang painted signs and bright awnings outside their houses and mount roadside stalls. An electronics engineer, who for years operated in the shadows, now publishes leaflets that claim he can mend every appliance under the sun. A practitioner of Santería sells beaded necklaces, ground sardines and toasted corn used in ceremonies at the tin-roofed shop in her yard. Ms. Álvarez and her husband, Ivan Barroso, took out a license for the cafe and another to sell meat and fish. Now the couple does a brisk business serving soft white rolls filled with garlicky pork and fresh tuna for 60 cents at a wooden counter in the gateway of their house. Ms. Álvarez, a former school librarian who gave up work several years ago, runs the cafe with her stepson. Mr. Barroso goes fishing, culls pigs and delivers produce to clients in Havana. "If you have the ability, the dedication to achieve something, you should enjoy it," said Mr. Barroso, who until November sold fish and pork without a license to a close circle of friends and clients. About 85 percent of all Cubans with jobs are employed by the state, earning about $20 per month in exchange for free access to services like health and education, and a ration of subsidized goods. Fidel Castro grudgingly allowed the private sector to take root in the early 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union brought the Cuban economy to its knees. Over the years, however, the government stopped issuing new licenses and suffocated many businesses with taxes and prohibitions. This time Raúl Castro, who took over from his brother Fidel in 2006, says things have changed. In a speech to the National Assembly in December, he urged members of the government and the Communist Party to help the private sector, not "demonize" it. "It is essential that we change the negative feelings that no small number of us harbor toward this kind of private labor," Mr. Castro said. Many remain skeptical. Juan Carlos Montes ran a private restaurant on the patio of his Havana home for five years but became worn down by nit-picking inspectors and closed it in 2000. Now he is reluctant to try again. "When someone who has made the same argument for more than 40 years suddenly changes their tune, you have to have a lot of faith to believe them," he said. His wife, Yodania Sánchez, has been trying to change his mind. She has a license to rent two rooms in their higgledy-piggledy house and pays about $243 in taxes every month, whether the rooms are occupied or not. But Mr. Montes swears he will not open a new restaurant until there is a wholesale market. The government says it will set up a wholesale market — though it might take years — and this year will import $130 million worth of goods and equipment for the private sector. It is also planning microloans and business cooperatives and mulling allowing people to buy and sell cars and houses, measures that some analysts speculate might be announced ahead of the Communist Party Congress in April. For now, carpenters like Pedro José Chávez are allowed only to do repairs, rather than make things, because there is no legal market for wood. His workshop, perched on a rooftop in the Vedado area of Havana, is filled with crude machines made of salvaged parts because proper tools are too expensive. For the private sector to thrive, the government should vastly expand the list of occupations open to the self-employed to include mainstream professions like engineering or law, said Ted Henken, an expert on the Cuban private sector at Baruch College. The list of 178 jobs currently open to self-employed Cubans — among them, fixing parasols and mending bed frames — is highly specific and seems intended mainly to legalize and tax people working on the black market. "There is a lot more to be done for the state to get out of the way and for people to produce and employ," Professor Henken said. The government will also need to confront the question of civil and political rights that will emerge with the growth of a commercial class, including potentially divisive issues like growing disparities in wealth. "There's no end to the chaos and demands of a private economy," Professor Henken said. In the meantime, Ms. Álvarez and Mr. Barroso are relishing life on the almost-free market. Mr. Barroso pores daily over an exercise book where he calculates profit margins. Total sales for the two businesses are around $270 a week, he said. He and his wife each pay about $37 a month in taxes, plus 10 percent on profits at the end of the year. Ms. Álvarez vies for customers with a couple of cafes that have opened within two blocks of hers. On a recent morning, all three had more clients than the bleak state-run bar on the same street, whose offerings included omelet sandwiches, hand-rolled cigars and condoms.

A Greenville police officer shared a video he took of a talented young dancer while responding to a call over the weekend. A video of a young local dancer shared by the Greenville Police Department is getting quite a bit of attention on the department's Facebook page. The video was posted to the Greenville Police Department page Monday morning. Officer Kawain Harrison recorded the video of 12-year-old Javon while responding to a call for service over the weekend. The video shows Javon performing his best Michael Jackson moves to the tune of 'Billie Jean'. The 12-year-old dancer is also wearing a single white glove and a studded white off-white jacket for the performance in the middle of a neighborhood street. Greenville Police said the white glove Javon wore in the video is one his grandfather wears when he ushers at church on Sundays. He told Ofc. Harrison he learned his moves from watching Ellen DeGeneres.

I found a workaround on the Roxio support forums. Can't remember what it was now, but I had to run a little program they created to fix it. Note: I am now using Roxio Creator 2011, purchased direct from Roxio, added on after I purchased Roxio Creator 2010 from HP just weeks before. Arrgghhh. Hi, thanks for the suggestion to try s/w rendering. I was thinking of doing that. I'll try that next time. I like your idea of buying a BD-RE (re-writeable) disk instead of using up $10 BD-R disks for each "experiment". I did try again, but after playing around w/ fit to disk such that my .ISO file (I put it onto my computer's HDD before burning it to a BD-R) was larger, 22.77GB instead of 12.33GB. It was much better, but still not that good. Anyway, thanks for the post, I will try out your suggestion! How Do I Play An Iso File I Created To Ensure It's Ok Before Burning? I tried "Disc Image Loader", but although it did load the ISO file, the player that I used said it couldn't support playing the disk format. However, I burned this same ISO file to a BD-R disk, and when I stick it into the optical drive that can read bluray disk, it can view it. Here's a new question -- how do I "unmount" this new drive?? I right-clicked on it but don't see anything other than a few of the typical things (open, properties, eject, ...). I have a picture quality issue on the first bluray DVD I created. I checked the same player & TV using a commercial BluRay, and saw no issue (looks great). But, when I played the bluray disk I created using MyDVD, it looked great unless something was moving. The choppiness was horrible if the camera panned the scene at all. The original MPG files that I used to create the project were the following file sizes: 11.7GB 10.3GB part of a 9.8GB file (trimmed) [Once I burned it,) the bluray ISO file size was 12.3GB. The disk size was 25GB (single-layer). I thought that I set up all the burning options for the best quality. So far, the picture quality -- unless the scene being viewed is still or very slow-moving -- is not nearly as good with BD as DVD. Any ideas on what settings/preferences I might try? Can I Recode An Iso File From Blu-Ray To Dvd Format? Sorry, I didn't realize. I am used to forums where there's employees as well as users answering posts. (For more expensive s/w.) I've put my question to Roxio. However, I did see a feature in MyDVD to change the project type from BluRay to DVD or AVHCD, & I did save my project -- it does look like the conversion to DVD type project worked. So, thanks to Jim_Hardin for pointing me in the right general direction! Here's something interesting. My HP computer had another program called HP MediaSmart Player, and it played the BluRay DVD that I created using Roxio Creator 2011 MyDVD just fine. Why doesn't Roxio's Cineplayer find the codec that this other player is using? You mean that you have to buy a new codec every time you upgrade Roxio??? That sounds ridiculous. I've used every feature available in Windows 7 to change the program default, but apparently Roxio overrides them all. If I right-click on the drive & select HP MediaSmart DVD, of course it plays fine. But the default is to open Roxio Audio Converter, which of course I do NOT want! Is this an official answer from Roxio, or is this just another user's opinion, or ...? Can I recode an ISO file from blu-ray format to DVD format? If yes, which subtool within Creator 2011 Pro do I use? How do I play an ISO file I created to ensure it's OK before burning? I can't figure out how to do this with Roxio Creator 2011 Pro. I get the following error message when trying to work with Roxio Creator 2011 Pro using Remote Desktop. "Cannot Initiate Task" (in the Banner part of the window). "The task you are attempting to initiate requires MyDVD, but it is already running in another user account on this machine." Roxio Creator 2011 Pro is running on an HP Elite 380t computer with Windows 7 O/S, and I am remote desktopping from a PC running WinXPpro/SP3. I am logging into the same account as I was using when I was working with this software directly. Any ideas on how to make MyDVD work with Remote Desktop, like all the other applications that I use? (and I use a lot of different applications, due to my job being working with all kinds of different software on all kinds of computers). I have attached the error message window. What Happened To Advanced Disk Information Tool? If Roxio is removing features without telling folks, then they're a shady company that I don't want to do business with. Any way I can get my $ back? I bought Creator2010 bundled with my new PC at hp.com. I guess I need to take the matter up with HP? Well, I did the uninstall / reinstall per all the ridiculously painful steps. (Properly written software would just work on install.) Still, capture video or create DVD does not work. Burning a DVD from the ISO image seemed to work. I just want it all to work, not wonder what is going on. Actually, I think I just want my money back. I just bought it (when I bought my new PC at HP.com). Where did this image come from? I just made it with Roxio Creator 2010 on the same computer. Do you know what software made the image? See above. What type of image/file extension does this image have? ISO. Edited to clarify responses.

We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible throughout this year, and we both hope that you will consider participating in the numerous family-friendly events that we have planned. There are ambitious plans for this year! Many of you have been asked to serve on the 30+ Grand Lodge Committees that have been formed for the purpose of making these plans a reality. In total, almost 300 very talented brethren have offered or been asked to serve – such that I am confident that I've broken the DC indoor record for Committee-forming. Each committee is led by an outstanding chairman, and each also has an elected Grand Lodge Officer who will serve as a liaison to me for reporting and coordination purposes. In the next week or so, I look forward to sharing my vision and expectations with all the committees. So, what are some of the plans? We will continue to do the things that you already know and love: Universal Brotherhood Celebration (UBC), Fourth of July Parades, Grand Lodge Picnic, Masonic Day of Thanksgiving, etc. However, we will consider some changes to UBC and perhaps add a soccer game or some type of sporting event to the Annual Picnic. We're going to have family outings to Patriotic events at Fort Myer and the Iwo Jima Memorial. The significant others (SO) of our Masons will be invited to a First Lady's Tea with First Lady Maryann, and she is also planning a charity fashion show for mid-May. We have a "New Acacia Network" subcommittee looking at how to make Freemasonry more applicable to your daily lives, by providing a way to seek help or advice from other DC Masons. Our Cultural Events subcommittee will plan and present several cultural events for the enjoyment of our Brethren and families and will also serve as a venue to invite non-Masonic guests. We'll have a very special committee called "Masonic Wellness" to look at how to provide help to our brethren and families who may suffer from mental disorders and additive behaviors. It has been my experience that any Brother who suffers from such things is not capable of being an effective Freemason – and in many cases his family also suffers. We will strengthen and improve our Hospitality Committee, which will provide a Brother to serve as a companion and guide to visiting Brethren and their families in Washington, DC. It is my hope and expectation that this will help both our visitors AND our DC Brethren. Masonic Activities: Our Masonic Education and Service Committee will continue to build on the outstanding work began last year and create a repository of "Best Practices" for use by our Lodges. They will also present instruction during the year. Our Combined Grand Visitations (3 in total) will feature a Festive Board and speaker, and will be designed to serve as an opportunity to invite men who wish to learn more about Freemasonry. We have a very talented Publications and Media Production Committee, whose interests will include the production of updated informational material for prospective men, and to produce rich media content for use on social media platforms. Our History Committee will develop ways to better present the rich history of our Lodges, and to share this past with brethren and families. We've started a Masonic Youth Programs Committee who will look at helping our new DeMolay program be successful, as well as to look for other opportunities for the healthy involvement of our Youth in the principles of Freemasonry. Our Masonic Service Presentation Committee will ensure that all 50, 60 and 70-year pins are awarded to our Brethren who are dispersed and hard to reach by our Lodges. Our Library and Museum Committee will make these resources more accessible to our Lodges. Our Arlington Masonic Funerals Subcommittee will expand a program already being conducted by Freedom Military Lodge No. 1775, and will help provide Masonic Funerals for the families of Masonic Veterans who desire such a service at Arlington National Cemetery. We plan to advertise this special service nation-wide. And we also have a Research Lodge Exploratory Subcommittee, to look at the re-establishment of a Research Lodge in DC, to produce research of Masonic significance and interest that are worthy of representing the Grand Lodge of our Nation's Capital. I plan to host a weekly get-together at the Grand Lodge on "Burger Friday" afternoons for our newly made Entered Apprentice Masons. Every newly made Mason will be invited to attend at least once during the period from Initiation to Fellowcraft. I plan to host a monthly luncheon for all newly made Fellowcrafts, and a monthly dinner for all new Master Masons. The purpose of the "Burger Friday" and dinners/luncheons should be obvious, but my hope is to immediately immerse our new brethren into Fellowship and Brotherhood, and to make them want to stay connected. It should serve as an extension of what you are already doing in your Lodges. Finally, I have some ideas for how to actually "market" Freemasonry to the men who live and work in & around Washington DC. I am looking for five test Lodges to experiment with this concept this year. So, these are most of our Committees, but there are many more. Many of these committees toil in relative obscurity, doing very important things (Accounts, Budget, Building Maintenance, Code, Jurisprudence, Grievances, Leadership Conference, etc.), but I've burned up about all of the pixels I'm allotted and I'll stop explaining everything! Brethren, my focus this year is to understand where we came from and to build our future with that knowledge and motivation. I don't really have a catchy slogan, and I don't even have a pin or coin yet. My entire focus has been on getting the right men in the right places to help Freemasonry serve a vital role in our daily lives – not just one or two nights a month. We've all made serious and solemn promises to each other, to care for each other. I want to help you fulfill those promises. I look forward to an exciting and interesting year, and I definitely need your help. We all need your help. I am continuing the work began by the 165 Grand Masters who have preceded me. I am only the steward of our Grand Lodge for a short period of time, but I want to pass it on in good shape to the Grand Masters who will follow me. I invite you to jump on for the ride. Sincerely and Fraternally, Michael D. Nicholas, Sr. The Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia From the Archives: Samuel Gompers on "Freemasonry in Industry" The Samuel Gompers Memorial at the intersection of 10th, L Street, and Massachusetts Ave., NW. (Photo courtesy WikiMedia Commons and Bestbudbrian.) The following article was written by Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor (the AFL part of the now AFL-CIO) and member of Dawson Lodge No. 16. In it he connects the philosophies of trade unionism and Freemasonry. It was published in the Masonic Service Association's "The Master Mason" magazine shortly after his death in December of 1924. In fact, the idea for a Lodge in his name was conceived by several of his Brethren the day after his death, and became a reality when Samuel Gompers Lodge No. 45 held their first meeting on the night of January 26, 1926. - Compiled by Jason Van Dyke, PM and Bro. Chris Ruli. By Bro. Samuel Gompers Founder and President, American Federation of Labor ​Originally published in "The Master Mason," Vol. 1 No. 4, April 1924 FREEMASONRY had its origin in the desire to dignify and protect the crafts in the masonry industries. From the beginning the thought has been impressed upon us that men should have the right to travel in foreign lands and receive Masters' wages. Freemasonry has built around the early tenets a great ideal of life and service. We find the division of the day into three periods (eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, eight hours for rest) a necessity of modern industrial life which members of the Masonic Fraternity were quick to understand and urge. I think the struggle of the toiling masses for a freer, better life, for better citizenship and fuller understanding must find among Masons an immediate, intelligent sympathy. After all, there is much in common between all groups which are organized around great ideals. The same passion for fair dealing, for justice, for the development of the individual, for greatness and freedom of opportunity is found in the trade union movement and in the Masonic Fraternity. ​If men everywhere could bring themselves to do no unfair thing, we should find a measurable fulfillment of Masonic ideals, of trade union ideals, and of the ideals of the great religions of the world. We have in the labor movement the abuses that are common to humanity. We are, as individuals, no better and no worse than others. But we have put our collective force behind certain high aims in which we believe, and which have proven their worth through the most severe tests. The trade union movement did not come into being because someone wanted it. It came into being as an economic necessity. Coming as a necessity, it has sought to function to the best advantage and in a manner to bring the largest possible good to the largest possible number of men and women. When individual handicraft gave way to factory production, the individual workman lost his power to stand on anything like an even footing with the employer. It became necessary for the wage earners to organize and to function as collective units. With organization came the practice of joint negotiation between powerful employers and great groups of wage earners. This practice has resulted in maintaining a comparatively high standard of life and work in American industry. We have light where we would otherwise have had darkness. We have freedom where we would have had bondage. We have uprightness and courage where we would have had crouching and cringing. Nothing else has contributed more toward the making of manhood and womanhood fit for America than the labor movement of our country. We are as proud as any of the industrial life of our country and of everything about it that makes for good leadership in a world which has in it so many dark places. We ask for understanding and helpfulness, and we also seek to possess them in our dealings with others. Our practice must of necessity fit the needs of our time, but our goal is afar down the road, at a point which has not yet come within the range of our vision. We desire for humanity all of the good that is possible, and we are not presumptuous enough to pretend to know how much there may be in the future.

My writing career began back in 1979, when I scored my first publication at the age of five...in the school newsletter. That story, about a little girl who died of surprise when she saw the constellations of the night sky for the first time, was just a few paragraphs long, but my teacher at the time fell in love with it and thought it deserved a wider audience. Obelia, she said, you were born to write! After such a promising start, my publishing career kind of went downhill. But whatever special quality my teacher identified in that story stayed with me, and I continued to develop it. From that time forward I continued to write stories, and eventually full length books, on many and various topics, essentially in total obscurity. Few people read my work, most of which resided in dusty drawers and cardboard boxes, but those who did noted that - whatever the topic - my authorial voice was very strong, always stamped with the slightly morbid and dry sensibility that my friends and family know as Obelia TM. There was always something slightly sadistic about me, you see; I took sinister delight in upsetting and scaring people. But I didn't really want to upset them, I'm not a bad sort of person underneath it all. So I found a legitimate channel for this slightly sadistic impulse and in this fashion I finally really found my writing feet when, after publishing a few short fictional stories in anthologies and magazines, I started writing horrifying true stories about crimes and disasters. I knew that what I loved to write was non-fiction, specifically narrative non-fiction; and that the way I wanted to do it was to take a true event and turn it into an absolutely riveting and page turning story. It has been a winding circuitous route to this place where I find myself today, after several detours which turned out not to be detours at all - a history degree, a criminology degree, years of research and writing about the saddest and most shocking incidents from our mind boggling human past. Then back in 2016, my writing mentor at the time read my latest manuscript, the book which later would become Murder by Increments, my take on the infamous Hillside Strangler case from the late seventies. She liked it enough that she encouraged me to try for professional publication with a major publisher. My mentor is traditionally published and she was absolutely confident that I would be too. As time passed however it became clear that much had changed since she had found such success in the industry. My manuscript garnered some bites and some interest, but no more than that. The agents and publishers who bothered to reply said that while it was a very good book, they didn't think they could sell it. Finally, a very decent agent came clean with me, and said what I wished someone had said from the beginning. I loved this book, she said; but I can't sell it because publishers only take on authors who have a large and active platform, a presence in the mainstream media, and a long history of bestselling publications. In other words, to sell my book to a mainstream publisher, I needed to be famous already. I immediately wrote back and profusely thanked this agent for making my path clear to me. I was going to go independent, because really, that was my only option. Well, I could have signed on with a small press, but I knew they couldn't do any more for me than I could do myself. I used to be an editor for a major publisher, hence, I could (and do) edit my own books. I had some design skills and an artistic bent, so I could design my own covers. I'm a social media addict so I could market my books online. And above all I am that most independent and uncooperative kind of person, loath to rely on anyone else, so the pain and torture of compromising with publishers about my beloved stories did not actually appeal in the least. And here I am today, three books, and thousands of sales later... and I did it all on my own. Let me tell you, there is no better feeling than that. Being an independent publisher, a one man band responsible for every aspect of producing, distributing and marketing books, is very tough, especially as I still need to work a few days a week in an office to keep myself afloat financially. But the crux of the issue is that, as an independent author, whether one fails or succeeds, it is entirely down to your own efforts. If you work with a traditional publisher instead, you simply won't have that opportunity for learning every aspect of the book business, and what it takes to be in the driver's seat of your writing career. Today I am at a point in my learning and practicing that I feel ready to take on additional projects - by other authors. Hence, I launched Estoire, my own cottage publishing enterprise, with the goal of helping promising authors polish their best work and get it in front of readers. In 2019 I am looking to take on a few projects by authors who, like me, write exciting true stories. Estoire is both a publisher and an online zine. The Estoire website features samples of books with links to the retailer where you can purchase the full-length work. Estoire pays you, the writer, according to a unique three-tiered system. Let me invest my skills in producing and marketing books in your book so it can be a success. If you want to know about how it works, head here. Estoire is the blog and personal publishing imprint of true crime and disaster analysis author OJ Modjeska. OJ's mission as an author has always been to deliver an amazing true story, amazing told. Estoire is where she collects and curates ideas for future books and writings on all her favorite topics: true crime, history, psychology and real life disasters. It also features notifications and special offers on her new releases, and reviews of books, TV and movies in her favorite genres of true crime, historical disasters and narrative history. If you are an author who writes in these genres and you would like a book feature plus amazon review, please head here.

And what a year it has been! Hurricanes devastated coastal towns and Puerto Rico, fires are burning up California, and mass shootings are incomprehensive. And then there's Washington. It's almost scary to turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper. Before beginning a new year, we need to look back at 2017 and remember those who have left us, cherish the good times with our loved ones, and look forward to the future for our kids, grandkids, and other loved ones. As usual, I will start with the bad news and move to the good. We lost three classmates this year and some of our classmates lost loved ones. Richard Frank Schwarz passed on April 4 from cancer. Sherry Alexander passed on May 14. Sherry never joined the website and did not attend the 55-year reunion. However, contact was made with her prior to the reunion. We have lost 21 classmates since the 50-Year Reunion. Eleven of them attended the reunion. Jimmy Morris' father Roger Morris on January 5. Fred Cox's father-in-law Charles Anderwald on February 2. Fred wife Cheryl and her sister Sandra were both Lee graduates. Disc jockey Bruce Hathaway, who was a special guest at our 50-Year Reunion, passed on January 27. On the positive side of all this, Marlene Simon and Adrien Simon's dad turned 100 on April 29 and Jane Kennedy's dad turned 101 on October 28. Jane posted a very nice tribute to her "remarkable" father on the Message Forum. Having reached that hard-earned time in life that puts you on vacation for the rest of your life – AKA retirement – are Rudy Rudewick who became a RETIRED Ordained Minister on July 1 and Jane Kennedy who retired on July 28. Karen Kurth retired exactly one year ago (January 1, 2017) after 36 years with USPS. She keeps herself busy in Auburn, WA house sitting and baby sitting her grandson. Someone said "vacation"? We have some travelers among us. Having just mentioned Jane Kennedy, we'll start with her. Following her retirement, she and husband Guy took an Atlantic Crossing on the Queen Mary 2 and spent a week in England. In August, Terry Obermiller posted that he and wife Candy had just returned from a 12 day cruise through the Fjords from Norway/Denmark/Iceland. They were then scheduled to go to Israel in October for 11 days. This would be their second trip to Israel as they had been there the previous October. David Bearr had mentioned in a post that he and wife Diane were going to China April 6-15. A Facebook post on October 13 found Dana Johnson enjoying the beautiful weather in Costa Rica and closing on a condo there. Lucky you! Back on the home front, Carolyn Jacobson and husband Jack celebrated their 50th anniversary on October 14 with a big party of friends and family. Congratulations! In July John Baines welcomed a new grandson. John said to watch for George in the first round of the 2037 NFL draft. Twenty years! We'll all be watching, John. What's his last name? Doreene Saunders' grandson Jacob left on August 21 for Army Basic Training at Ft. Leonardwood, Mo. He graduated on November 2 with one stripe for having done four years of ROTC in high school. He is currently training at Ft. Lee, Va. as a tracked vehicle mechanic. Oh, so proud of this kid man! We have a published author among us. Dr. Marilyn Cummins Leighman, a retired school counselor, announced on October 4 that her first book, "Divorce: The Loss of the Dream" had been published. You can find it on Amazon.com, Barnes and Nobel.com and at bookstores. The title says it all. Adrien Simon and her committee will be picking up speed after the first of the year in planning the 55-Year Reunion to be held September 29, 2018. Watch the website for more information as it becomes available. Oh, and I almost forgot! Our alma mater got a new name this year: Legacy of Educational Excellence AKA L.E.E. The news/information that I put in the Year in Review comes from several sources. I have no filters when it comes to stealing something off Facebook or a post someone puts on our website. But I also like emails or phone calls if you have news that I can post on the website and/or put in the Year in Review.

**Generate more qualified leads: **Anyone willing to listen to a 30-minute show is probably more interested in your product than someone skimming a 500-word blog post. Create a voice for your company (literally): Your show's host puts a voice to your brand, making your company more relatable and human. Build a better connection with your audience: A 30-minute show with 5,000 downloads in one month is 300,000 hours, or 1.5 years, of direct one-on-one engagement. Amazing. Long story short – podcasting can help your startup grow. In this post, I'll share what your startup needs to know to create a winning podcast from scratch. Remember that you're competing for your audience's time, so your show must be entertaining. Podcast listeners have different expectations for content – even if the content is primarily educational. Mechanically speaking the "top ten tactics for viral marketing" isn't going to have the same draw as Serial or The Tim Ferriss Show. It's tempting to jump into podcasting with a run-of-the mill interview based show. Part of the reason this seems like a no-brainer is because there are tons of people already doing this, but the world doesn't need another "Viral Marketing Rockstar" podcast interviewing the same guests as all the other marketing shows. Present a fresh take on your customers' passions and pain points by creating a unique and consistent format. What about doing your interviews during happy hour? Or starting each episode with a hilarious segment that only your niche understands? The format of your show must be as unique as the value proposition of your product. Podcast audio is stored on media specific servers that automatically generate an RSS feed to submit to podcast directories like the Apple iOS podcasting app. Libsyn is the most popular solution, but other options to check out are Blubrry and Spreaker. They all provide metrics and dashboards to track listening and growth. Apple iOS and iTunes is by far the most popular platform for listening and discovering podcasts, accounting for over 80% of all mobile listening. 66% of all podcast listening occurs on mobile, and the iOS podcasting app itself is responsible for 74% of the listening on the iOS platform. Translation: Submit your podcast to Apple's platform to put yourself in front of the largest possible audience. Although the audio itself is the central piece of content, each episode of your podcast needs a home on your website. This is known as the "show notes" page. It's also where you'll find the majority of SEO juice created by your show. Here's a show notes page example from SkilledUp: Your show notes pages should have a simple URL so users can remember the link and access episodes later. Embedding the audio is simple. Wordpress offers a number of plugins that sync with the audio hosting servers. My personal favorite is The Smart Podcast Player by Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income, one of the top-rated shows on iTunes. PowerPress by Blubrry is a great alternative. And most hosting services offer HTML5 embedded players that are easy to insert within your CMS. If you're going to test podcasting as a marketing channel, you'll need to play the long game. You won't see results overnight, and it will likely take a few months of publishing regular content until you see a core audience develop and a return on your investment. I recommend publishing once a week for at least 12 weeks. Here's why… iTunes rankings are somewhat of a mystery. What we do know is the iTunes podcast home page provides front and center exposure for all new shows gaining traction. In my experience, this lasts around eight weeks and afterwards podcasts experience a dramatic drop in listeners. Continuing to publish for four additional weeks allows for basic insight into what your company might expect into the future. Like Google, Apple doesn't publish the secret sauce to how podcasts rank within their podcasting platforms, and there's no equivalent of Google Analytics or Mixpanel specific to Apple platforms. However, there is enough anecdotal evidence, and common sense, to suggest that rankings revolve around the number of downloads in a given period of time and the quantity and quality of reviews a show receives. If you're working at a startup with less than 200 employees, it's a quick win for everyone to listen and contribute ratings and reviews. You want as many reviews as possible, so your podcast storefront crushes it like the StartUp Podcast: Outside of word of mouth marketing, which accounts for 74% of audience growth, iTunes SEO is among the most significant factors for discovering and growing and audience. For both the podcast as a whole and individual episodes, titles, descriptions, authors, and all other text fields are where you create the greatest SEO value. Check out this article on iTunes SEO if you'd like to learn more. You don't want your show to sound like a low powered FM radio station with a weak signal. The bad part is that great sound and editing takes time. Even once you get the hang of editing, chopping up audio quickly devolves into mechanical grunt work. The good part is there are a number of excellent services that could take this off your plate. Podfly is a full-stack production service that handles all your audio. They're my personal favorite and aren't outrageously expensive. They'll even post the show notes to your site and help with content strategy. Libsyn and other distribution platforms offer decent metrics on audience engagement that can be broken down by episode, day, time, geography, and the technology used to listen to the podcast. However, the most important part of tracking podcast success occurs in your analytics software. This includes measuring traffic to your website, conversions, or any other KPIs. The most important metrics to keep in mind are time spent on the show notes page, and most importantly, bounce rate. I once produced a show that had a bounce rate that was half of all other content pages. These metrics give insight into whether podcasting is a viable channel to grow your startup. Is podcasting for you? Give it a shot. By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to creating a killer podcast for your startup. Do you have any more questions on how to start a podcast? Or still trying to decide if it's right for your company? Let us know in the comments.

Premium Choice has been included in the 2019 edition of The Parliamentary Review, published in April 2019. The Parliamentary review is a series of independent publications that features leading business executives demonstrating their expertise in their industry. The publication is sent to over 500,000 leading business executives, policy makes and other relevant individuals, with the aim of raising standards by highlighting best practice. In this edition, Richard Dornan, Managing Director for Underwriting and Business Development of Premium Choice shares his expertise and knowledge in the insurance industry. Richard tells the Parliamentary Review about Premium Choice's specialist approach for providing motor insurance to their clients. Founded in 1999, Premium Choice is a leading insurance broker based in Wolverhampton. The company has sold over 1 million insurance policies and employs around 200 people, many of whom are insurance experts. Over the past 20 years, Premium Choice's customer-focused approach has helped clients get competitive prices on their insurance premiums. The company has a niche approach to motor insurance and can insure almost anything from a standard vehicle to a military tank. The company has come a long way in 20 years. Before the internet, Premium Choice would acquire new business through the Yellow Pages and magazines. Now, the company embraces the latest market-leading technology to attract new clients, which also reduces the risk of fraud. Richard explains how Premium Choice is evolving in a competitive industry. "We are always working on new and evolving product lines to widen our footprint across the industry and provide more solutions to more customers. These are challenging times in the insurance industry, with uncertainty over Brexit and changes To GDPR and the FCA's Insurance Distribution Directive. "Uncertainty is the real challenge we face, and this isn't limited to domestic legislation, Brexit may well affect the cost of parts and cars if entry tariffs are imposed. Insurance policies will need to be revised if drivers are no longer allowed to freely travel between EU countries as they currently do. Premium Choice will continue to grow with innovation at the heart of the process. The company plans to increase its presence in the non-standard market, continue to look for diversification and is committed to keeping premiums competitive. "We will do everything we can to keep premiums competitive. We believe that passing external costs like increases in in insurance tax or car prices onto customers isn't good for business, and we will do everything we can to avoid that.

What if you didn't know how old you were? How old would you be? The way you think about yourself impacts the way you feel physically. Living young is as much about your mental and emotional health as it is your physical health. It is about being optimistic, staying cognitively and physically active, and having a high quality of life. Studies indicate that self-perception has a greater impact on survival than blood pressure and cholesterol levels. 3 Your positive attitude will help keep you going and help you feel your best at any age. Goals help you grow and develop at any age. Look forward to the future, no matter your life stage. Maintain and pursue personal goals, professional aspirations, and physical targets. Start a new hobby, learn a language, or take up new challenges. Don't use your age as an excuse to miss out on what you love doing or what you've always wanted to do. As Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "People do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing." Living younger longer is a mentality, an outlook, an attitude. With a youthful mindset, you can promote your active, energetic, and healthy years. No matter how long you live, you're bound to live better. society is full of subtle cues about aging as an undesirable, deteriorating stage of life—and these unconscious cues may shape our views of ourselves, the way we act, and even shape our bodies. So keep a youthful state of mind, and defy your age. This was brought to you from natureme.mynuskin.com.

Check that the weather is conducive for cruising. It is always best to sail under clear skies. Yacht charter companies cancel your scheduled trip if the weather is bad or if the seas are rough. Wear proper footwear. Boat surfaces get slippery when wet, so wear footwear that is waterproof and with good traction. You can also go barefoot or wear comfortable light-soled shoes on-board. Casual wear or beach wear is recommended, but this depends on the time of your cruise. During evenings or the colder months, bring a shawl or sweater. On a sunny day, bring sunscreen, hats and sunglasses. Bring travel and identification documents, like passport or visa. The Dubai Coast Guard usually inspects these documents before giving the go-signal to sail. If you suffer from seasickness, bring motion sickness medicines or take one before the trip. Yachts should also be equipped with first-aid kits in case passengers need medicines on-board. Before the cruise, check the seaworthiness of the yacht. When you go cruising or deep sea fishing in Dubai, yacht companies provide full insurance for the yacht, the crew, and the guests on-board. Pay attention to safety briefings given by the captain or crew member. Make sure you know where the life jackets, life rafts, and other safety equipment are located. If you have children, check that there are life jackets that fit them as well. Leave the booze behind. Alcohol and safe boating do not mix well. Some yachts do not allow alcoholic drinks on-board, but if it is allowed, make sure to keep it light. Let your captain and crew know if you do not feel well during the cruise. If there is a need to turn the boat around to get people to safety, let them know immediately. While enjoyment is the main purpose of cruising and fishing, safety should also be a priority. Fun can never be complete if accidents happen on-board. It is always best to stay safe to have a truly fantastic time on a yacht charter.

How One of the Most Vulnerable Governors Staged a Comeback After the state sent out a false nuclear attack warning in January, Hawaii Gov. David Ige trailed in polls. Now he's favored to win reelection. by Alan Greenblatt | August 8, 2018 AT 8:00 AM Hawaii Gov. David Ige (AP/Caleb Jones) Last Updated Aug. 13 at 8:19 a.m. ET One of the year's greatest political comeback stories is playing out in Hawaii. Gov. David Ige, who looked like a sure loser a few months ago, now appears poised to win a second term. Polls conducted this spring showed Ige trailing Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa by 20-point margins. At a time when fears of a North Korean nuclear attack were high, a false emergency alert in January warning Hawaiians of an impending ballistic missile -- and Ige's slow response to it -- appeared to doom his reelection chances. In Unprecedented Move, Oversight Committee Urges Maine Governor to Apologize for 'Undignified' Outburst In Tight Race for Arizona Governor, Focus Is on Education Funding After 'Grueling Campaign,' Hawaii Governor Wins Democratic Primary As November Nears, More Governors' Races Become Tossups Blue-State Seats Democrats Can't Win But polls heading into Saturday's Democratic primary showed Ige with the lead. And in Hawaii, all the action is in Democratic primaries. Republicans are essentially irrelevant. They hold no seats in the state Senate and five seats out of 51 in the state House. The Democratic nominee for governor will be considered a lock against state Rep. Andria Tupola, the GOP nominee. "The first and most important thing is that Colleen Hanabusa [Ige's opponent] ran a terrible campaign," says Colin Moore, who directs the University of Hawaii's public policy center. "She wasn't in the state for the most important period" -- because she was serving in Congress -- "and never really articulated a clear campaign message that gave voters a reason to vote for her." Ironically for a governor whose fortunes were almost sunk by a false nuclear warning, Ige's chances were revived largely thanks to natural disasters. Huge rainstorms over Kauai in April led to historic flooding there, damaging or destroying more than 500 homes. Meanwhile, volcanic lava has ruined so many homes on the Big Island of Hawaii that, as Hurricane Hector approached, there was mordant joking that there's nothing left to destroy. Recovery is ongoing, but the disasters gave Ige the chance to demonstrate leadership qualities that were conspicuously not on display during the false missile alert. "Gov. Ige has run a vigorous campaign driven by effective messaging, combined with the advantage of being the incumbent during two major disasters," says Donalyn Dela Cruz, a communications consultant. Incumbency provided Ige with other advantages. He was able to make the local news when he held bill signing ceremonies, while Hanabusa was trapped 5,000 miles away in Washington. Neil Abercrombie, Ige's predecessor, resigned his seat in Congress to make his run for governor, recognizing the difficulties of seeking the office long distance. Hanabusa did not make that move. Four years ago, she did give up her seat in the U.S. House to run unsuccessfully for the Senate. In 2016, she won back her House seat. Running for her third different office in as many election cycles led to some grumbling that she was seeking the governorship mostly to satisfy career ambitions. Although she derided Ige's leadership abilities, Hanabusa had not articulated major policy differences with him. She was a longtime labor lawyer and had received some union support. But Ige has the endorsement of the Hawaii State Teachers Association and the Sierra Club, and managed to present himself as the more progressive choice. While Ige is running at a time of historically low unemployment in the state -- its 2 percent rate in May was the lowest recorded by any state since the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics began keeping track back in 1976 -- the cost of living and housing remains a serious sore point. Ige himself unseated Abercrombie four years ago. If he had lost, it would have been the second time in a row the governor lost his seat in a primary -- something that's happened only a handful of times in American history.

Rome, Italy, Jun 7, 2015 / 03:53 pm ().- The head of Ukraine's Greek Catholic Church said the country is facing a "humanitarian catastrophe" with global consequences that cannot be ignored by the international community. He called on participants of next week's G7 Summit in Bavaria to work toward effective solutions. "The aggression against Ukraine is a challenge for preserving peace in the world which cannot pretend that nothing happens in Eastern Europe," said Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, major archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, an eastern rite Catholic Church in full communion with Rome. Conflict erupted in Ukraine last year in February when the country's former president was ousted following months of violent protest, and a new government appointed. In March, Ukraine's eastern peninsula of Crimea was annexed by Russia and pro-Russian separatist rebels have since taken control of eastern portions of Ukraine, around Donetsk and Luhansk. More than 6,000 people have died in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Rebels have been supported by both Russian arms and troops, according to both Ukraine and Western nations. A ceasefire was brokered and officially began at midnight Feb. 15, however fighting has continued. He spoke of the Vatican's diplomatic commitment to helping find a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian conflict, as well as a possible visit of Pope Francis to Ukraine. Q: In February a ceasefire in the conflict zones of Ukraine was agreed to, however fighting seems to continue. Has the conflict improved at all since February, and are there signs on either side that fighting could end by the 2016 decentralization goal? A: We have received the news about a cease-fire agreement in Minsk with great hope. However, it is with sadness that we must admit that these agreements have not been implemented. The cease-fire is being violated. It's true that the intensity of fighting on the occupied territories has decreased, but it doesn't mean that the fighting has stopped at all. Every day we receive sad news that someone has been killed or wounded in the result of continued fighting. Yesterday (May 27) we learned that our army was under sustained shelling near Mariupol. The most alarming for the Ukrainian society, however, is the fact that over the last months, hundreds of pieces of heavy weaponry have reached Ukrainian territory from the side of the Russian Federation. This equipment includes tanks (there are about 700 of them in Donbass according to the Ukrainian authorities), heavy artillery, mobile rocket launchers etc. Besides that, according to the information of the Ukrainian government and international observers, there is a massive accumulation of Russian troops in Ukraine and on the Russian border. These facts make us believe that Russian side with its heavy military presence in Ukraine is not seeking peace, they don't rely on the rule of law or on the respect of the international agreements but they abide only to the rule of force. Using the threat of arms, Russia is trying to dictate its will to Ukraine. In my opinion, as long as the fighting continues in Ukraine and there is an increase in Russian military presence on the occupied territories of Donbas, the true political process, which would lead to a peaceful solution of the conflict, is unlikely to bring any results. So in this sense, the intended decentralization as a part of the constitutional reform of the Ukrainian government will have no effect on the peace process either. Q: The topic of the Ukrainian conflict will most likely be addressed during the G7 Summit in Bavaria June 7-8. Do you have hopes for the outcome of the discussion, and are there specific themes that you would like to see leaders address? A: For ordinary Ukrainian citizens it is very important that the international community, especially the G7 Summit, considers the war in Ukraine not under the perspective of a local conflict but as a conflict with serious global consequences coming into effect now and even more so in the future. I think an encouragement for Russia's violation of the international laws and military aggression is the fact that no international institution nowadays has the power to provide proper functioning of the international security system which used to guarantee peace between the nations in the past. In these circumstances, no one in the globalized world can be at peace, no one can feel safety, even if he/she finds himself/herself far away from Eastern Ukraine. The aggression against Ukraine is a challenge for preserving peace in the world which cannot pretend that nothing happens in Eastern Europe. I would like that the G7 Summit in Bavaria takes into account that the Eastern Europe now faces a humanitarian catastrophe which, considering the territory it might effect, is the greatest crisis since the end of the WWII. Let us stop the war together! Let us show solidarity to Ukraine which is a victim of unjustified aggression! Q: Pope Francis has shown great interest in the Ukrainian conflict, and is credited with having helped restore relations between the United States and Cuba. Do you think that the Vatican could help in reaching a peace agreement in Ukraine? A: Holy Father Pope Francis has stated on numerous occasions that he will do everything possible to prevent the outbreak of a new war in Europe. During the last visit "Ad limina" of Catholic Bishops of Ukraine to the Vatican (Feb. 20, 2015), Pope Francis assured our Bishops that the Holy See will do its best to secure peace agreements in Ukraine. How it will happen, what steps will be taken, we don't know. But the history of our Church teaches us that the peace of Christ always wins over the war, and the truth of God is on the side of those who are unjustly treated. Seventy years ago all our Bishops were imprisoned by the Stalin regime, our Church structures were destroyed, our church property was confiscated. Our enemies thought they put to an end the very existence of our Church, but to their great surprise after many years of clandestine existence in the underground, our Church has risen to a full ecclesial existence 25 years on the eve of Ukraine's Independence. We want to believe that today God is with Ukraine because our country is a victim of unjust military aggression. We are convinced that our Savior, who became a victim Himself on the cross for the salvation of the humankind, will help us. And the Holy Father, who is Vicar of Christ on earth, is and will be our support and our help in these difficult times. Q: The Pope has also been invited by the bishops to visit Ukraine. Has there been a response on the part of the Vatican as to when a visit could foreseeably take place? A: The Catholic Bishops of Ukraine as well as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko have officially invited the Pope to visit Ukraine. In our opinion, similarly to military conflicts between Argentina and Chile as well as Argentina and Great Britain, the peace mission of the Holy Father helped to stop the war. So we are convinced that the visit of the Holy Father to Ukraine would be a very powerful gesture of peace which, empowered by the Holy Spirit, would accomplish what is not possible for the G7. As far as I know there is no official response of the Holy See to this invitation, but there is no decline of the invitation either. So we pray and we hope that this visit will take place in the nearest future.

vp19 Films 'They Knew What They Wanted,' but can't get on DVD : They Knew What They Wanted [+1] : (no subject) Films 'They Knew What They Wanted,' but can't get on DVD Current mood: frustrated It's no secret that Carole Lombard's 1940 drama "They Knew What They Wanted," teaming her with Charles Laughton for the second time, has never been made available on an authorized DVD in America, probably a result of rights issues with the Sidney Howard estate (Howard wrote the play, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1925). But misery loves company, and it's hardly the only movie that's in DVD limbo. New York Post film critic Lou Lumenick recently wrote about it (http://nypost.com/2014/06/18/64-clips-of-movies-you-cant-find-on-dvd/), including brief clips of the MIA movies. Some of the other classic-era titles that are absent from DVD -- many featuring actors or directors Carole worked with -- include: * "The Crowd" (1928), King Vidor's pioneering slice-of-life tale. * "The Greene Murder Case" (1929), one of three early turns for William Powell as Philo Vance. * "Once In A Lifetime" (1932), an adaptation of the Kaufman and Hart comedic play about screenwriters during Hollywood's chaotic transition to sound. * "Letty Lynton" (1932), which hasn't been seen by virtually anybody since MGM withdrew it from circulation in 1935, much to the dismay of Joan Crawford fans. * "Call Her Savage" (1932), one of Clara Bow's final features for Fox. * "Man's Castle" (1933), a Loretta Young-Spencer Tracy Depression-era gem directed by Frank Borzage. * "The Story Of Temple Drake" (1933), a steamy pre-Code adaptation of William Faulkner's "Sanctuary," starring Miriam Hopkins. * "The Moon'a Our Home" (1936), starring former married couple Margaret Sullavan and Henry Fonda...which Lombard and James Stewart took the lead role for a 1940 "Lux Radio Theater" adaptation. * "Boy Meets Girl" (1938), another comedic tale of screenwriters, starring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien, with supporting turns from Marie Wilson and Ronald Reagan. * "The Sea Wolf" (1941), a Jack London tale starring Edward G. Robinson and John Garfield. * "To Each His Own" (1946), for which Olivia de Havilland won a Best Actress Academy Award, directed by Mitchell Leisen. (Other films of his that are DVD MIA include "I Wanted Wings" and "Lady In The Dark.") * "Beau James" (1957), an atypical Bob Hope role as 1920s New York mayor Jimmy Walker. * "Raintree County" (1957), a Civil War romantic epic starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift, which apparently needs considerable restorqtion. * And... "Dynamite" (1929), a Cecil B. De Mille film where Lombard had the female lead for a few days before being fired. Carole shows off a ruffled dress in our latest Lombard LiveJournal header, p1202-435. It's on YouTube; I watched it, for the first time, a few weeks ago. vp19 at 2014-06-22 16:09 (UTC) (Link) Re: They Knew What They Wanted I noticed that, too, when checking out the Post's link for the brief excerpt (one I decided not to use because Lombard wasn't part of the footage). I'm uncertain how long it will last there, as is the case for other releases of Carole's that are on YouTube in full despite no official North American DVD release. (RKO issued a videocassette version in the 1980s, and I believe it's been issued for a non-Region 1 DVD in Europe.) Similar conditions apply for many of the films Lumenick mentioned. oh, what a nice picture of the late mister spencer tracy, together with the late miss loretta young, in "man's castle". oh, a very handsome, beautiful actor is he.

Tennessee Players Say Alabama Can't Win a National Title, Which Seems Like a Bad Idea Mississippi State v Tennessee / Carmen Mandato/Getty Images Tennessee will walk into Bryant-Denny Stadium as five-touchdown underdogs to Alabama. Things could get very, very ugly in the latest renewal of a series that used to be a pretty decent rivalry and is now incredibly one-sided. Some Volunteers appear to have -- in their limited wisdom -- poked the bear by opining on Alabama's national championship chances to ESPN's Molly McGrath. The most interesting moment of UCLA-Stanford: @MollyAMcGrath just now, plugging the Tennessee-Alabama game, says she talked to a couple of Vols players who said, "This doesn't look like an Alabama team that can win a national championship." — Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) October 18, 2019 Why? Who knows? I guess when is 2-4 and preparing for another savage beatdown, there's a tendency to lash out. Above the obvious motivational elements that make this type of chatter a bad idea, it's also confusing. While the Crimson Tide's defense has looked more pedestrian than in recent years, its offense has catapulted to a whole other world and is putting up 51 points/game. Tua Tagovailoa has 27 touchdown passes against a single interception. No road team has managed to stay within 28 in Tuscaloosa. If this is what a down season looks like, every other program in the country will sign up for a down season. Jeremy Pruitt, who is just trying to keep the train in contact with the tracks at this point, can't like hearing that his team is creating bulletin-board material out of whole cloth with no discernible upside. Definitely an unusual strategy.

I dont know how many people have seen this commercial, but I think it may be one of the best ever…. hey never seen that before, very cool. great outing you had wed night! I have never seen that commercial before. It was pretty good! This commercial ranks with the 1979 "Mean" Joe Green commercial for Coke (YouTube link below). Thanks for highlighting it, as I had never seen it aired either. Was there a similar major influence in your childhood development as a pitcher?

Acoustic sensibilities from two diverse backgrounds converge in a homage to the quintessential sounds of American rock music. Randy Bales (guitar, vocals) and Dr. Lisa Chu (violin) bring fresh collaborative energy to their interpretations of cult classics as well as their own captivating original music. Their sounds recall a familiar time, with the exciting twist of modern inspiration. In performance, you can now hear original music created by Chinese Melodrama, as well as their signature acoustic interpretations of cult classics by celebrated musicians ranging from Neil Young, Cat Stevens, and James Taylor, to Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Metallica. Great to happen upon your music last night. I don't know about the name though, there is SO much more than the sum of the parts. Good big sound, that is hard to do in any capacity. Great instrumentation, love to see you add Riq or Tar. It would be nice to have bios without the distraction of ambient noise, a bit more in production values, (mic and quiet) would serve the curious with the same quality you put into your music. I know you did not ask for this but I could not help myself. I like your music, i would like to see you succeed. Duly impressed nonetheless, and with pretty much all of the musicians that came up. What a treat. Lemme know if you want photos and video. Your band would be fun.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 6, 2008) - Marathon Acquisition Corp. (AMEX: MAQ.U) (AMEX: MAQ) (OTCBB: MAQ.WS) today announced that it has concluded its Consent Solicitation in connection with the previously-announced merger with Global Ship Lease, Inc. Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, Marathon has received the requisite consent of at least a majority of its issued and outstanding warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement governing its outstanding warrants to allow for the consummation of its merger with Global Ship Lease. As described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, the amendment to the warrant agreement clarifies that the "business combination" contemplated by the Warrant Agreement includes a merger with Global Ship Lease and the transactions to be consummated pursuant to the merger agreement (1) by amending the definition of "business combination" to include (A) the merger of Marathon with and into another entity and (B) a merger of Marathon into or with a non-U.S. entity and the subsequent business combination with another entity and (2) by making a conforming change to the merger provision to include a merger of Marathon into or with a non-U.S. entity. The proposed amendment has been effected by a Third Supplemental Warrant Agreement, which has been executed by Marathon and the Warrant Agent. The shareholder vote to approve the merger and related proposals is the remaining step to effecting the merger and consummating the transaction. The shareholder meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 12th, 2008. Marathon Acquisition Corp.'s trust value per share as of July 31st, 2008 was approximately $7.93. Marathon Acquisition Corp. is a "blank check" company formed to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination, one or more businesses. In August 2006, Marathon through its initial public offering raised net of fees and expenses, approximately $308.8 million which included $5.5 million in a private placement of sponsor warrants that were deposited into a trust account. Marathon has dedicated its time since the initial public offering to seeking and evaluating business combination opportunities. Global Ship Lease is a rapidly growing containership charter owner and is currently a subsidiary of CMA CGM. of France ("CMA CGM"), the world's third largest container shipping company. Incorporated in the Marshall Islands, Global Ship Lease commenced operations in December 2007 with a business of owning and chartering out containerships under long-term, fixed rate charters to world class container liner companies. Global Ship Lease currently owns 12 vessels and has contracts in place to purchase an additional five vessels for $437 million from CMA CGM four of which are expected to be delivered in December 2008 and one in July 2009. The merger transaction values Global Ship Lease and its seventeen vessel fleet at approximately $1.0 billion. Following stockholder and warrantholder approval of the merger, Marathon's stockholders will own approximately 66% of Global Ship Lease and CMA CGM will own approximately 34%. Once all of the contracted vessels have been delivered, Global Ship Lease will have a 17 vessel fleet with total capacity of 66,297 TEU and a weighted average age of 5.5 years. All of the contracted vessels are under long-term charters to CMA CGM with an average remaining charter term of approximately 11 years. In connection with the its previously announced merger with Global Ship Lease and the required stockholder approval and warrantholder consent, Marathon has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (i) a Registration Statement on Form F-4 containing a joint proxy statement/prospectus and (ii) other documents regarding the proposed transaction.

Yemen has become an Iranian proxy war against Israel Katherine Zimmerman and Nicholas Heras Originally published in Foreign Policy On Jan. 17, strikes launched by Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen killed three people in Abu Dhabi, prompting Emirati- and Saudi-led military escalations against the group that have caused the deaths of dozens of Yemeni civilians over the past week. The Houthis have warned of more attacks to come and launched another attack on Abu Dhabi early on Jan. 24. Yemen's civil war began in 2014. Although it has ground on for the better part of a decade, peace seems no closer today than it did eight years ago. That September, the Houthi rebels seized control of Yemen's capital of Sanaa, provoking a Saudi-led military intervention in March 2015 to restore the internationally recognized Yemeni government. In 2019, the United Arab Emirates, part of the Saudi alliance, drew down its commitments in Yemen as progress stagnated and criticism of the civilian toll from coalition activities sharpened. After taking office last year, U.S. President Joe Biden called the war a "humanitarian and strategic catastrophe" and ramped up diplomacy to end it. Yet fighting continues, and the humanitarian situation remains dire as funding shortages force cuts in emergency assistance and civilians navigate the threats of landmines and airstrikes. If confirmed, the successful Jan. 17 Houthi strikes show an expanding range of the group's capabilities. The implications for the Houthis' ability to act on their threat of further retaliation are evident for the Gulf nations directly involved in military operations in Yemen. But by transferring long-range capabilities to the Houthis, Iran has also established Houthi-controlled Yemen as a staging ground to pressure Israel. Read the rest in Foreign Policy.

Q: Correct tense form for choosing something from given options My friend and I were discussing some phrases. I asked her to choose one out of three of them. When she did she said: "I choose this one". Is present simple tense valid here? Since she has already chosen one of the phrases I think the correct answer should be either "I chose this one" or "I've chosen this one". Our conversation lasted for just 1-2 minutes.

Wrong tire pressure is the leading cause of tire wear! Check your tire pressure frequently. I don't think that there is one piece of advice which is more important than this. The Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) lists improper tire pressure as the most important factor in shortening the length of tire's lives. It is the first in their list of recommended practices which they list as PART. The RMA reports that under inflation produces needless stress on tires and increases their wear, lessens the control you have over the vehicle and increases your risk of an accident. A tire can lose up to half of its pressure and still appear to be normal. Pressure which is too low will cause tires to overheat, especially at high speeds and greatly increase the chance of suffering a blowout. The morning is usually suggested, but if you have to drive to some place to check the pressure, you may get a distorted pressure check caused by the warming of the tire as you drive. If you frequently carry heavy weight you can check your approximate pressure without a tire guage if you make some preparation. At some moment when you vehicle is carrying nothing and has the correct pressure, measure the distance from the ground to the center of the wheel. Mark this on a wooden stick which you carry with you. Then, after you have loaded your vehicle, place the stick next to the tire and see if the center of the wheel falls below the mark on your stick. If so, add air to raise the centre to match the mark. When you remove the load and need to drive without weight, repeat this process but release air from the tire until the center of the wheel matches the mark on your stick. Heat, causes air to expand, thus, the pressure in your tire when it is hot is higher than when it is cold. This is why you may arrive home with your tires seemingly normal and see them looking deflated in the morning. This, gauge from AutoAnything.com, is one of the nicest of the new breed of easy-to-use Tire Gauges which I've seen around. For most cars the best guide is your vehicle's manual. Look on the driver's door post or the edge of the driver's door for a sticker which will give the recommended pressure for your car's tires. Another place to look is the inside of the Glove Compartment door for a sticker with recommended pressures. If both these places fail, try to locate your owner's manual and look up "tire pressure" in the index. Pay particular attention to whether the recommended pressure for tires is the same for the front and rear wheels. Depending on the design of the vehicle, there may be different tire pressures for front and back. Not following this may result in having difficulty in steering or swaying. Check your spare tire too! Always try to follow the manufacturer's recommendations unless you're prepared to have unexpected consequences, some of which can be dangerous. Since September 2007 all new vehicles sold in the USA have been required, by law, to be equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems that will alert the driver when tire pressure drops by 25% or more.

Fast-moving water making search difficult, Linn County Sheriff's Office says Emergency personnel search the Cedar River below the dam at Palisades-Kepler State Park for a man who witnesses said jumped off his rocking fishing boat after the boat got into the turbulent water below the dam at the park west of Mount Vernon, Iowa, on Sunday, July 7, 2019. The Mount Vernon Fire Department, Iowa DNR, the Lisbon Fire Department and the Linn County Sheriff's Office were observed at the scene. (Jim Slosiarek/The Gazette) CEDAR RAPIDS — The boater who went missing Sunday at Palisades-Kepler State Park near Mount Vernon is believed to be Ricky Lee Veenstra, 59, of Cedar Rapids, the Linn County Sheriff's Office said Monday. The sheriff's office said witnesses reported Veenstra went into the Cedar River from a boat just below the spillway and did not resurface. It is not clear whether Veenstra fell or jumped into the water. Witnesses told officials they saw the man jump from his rocking fishing boat into the turbulent water below the dam Sunday morning. However, information from the sheriff's office indicates the man fell from the boat. The sheriff's office and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources are continuing to search the area where Veenstra was last seen, but the "fast-moving water in that area is making the search very difficult," the sheriff's office said.

In an article published on May 25, 2016 in Science Translational Medicine, the researchers discuss how breast cancer cells are hunting for specific blood vessels that contain a molecule called E-selectin. (Ref.) This molecule exists in specific blood vessels in bone marrow and this is how cancer cells get there. Once they get there, they enter the tissue inside bones where are protected against therapies and usually lying dormant for years. This is how many years later, a patient can relapse. This is a process characteristic not only to breast cancer but other cancers as well. If the cancer is catch in early enough stage, inhibit E-selectin so that the cancer cells will not be able to find their way to bone marrow. However, this is a nice to have situation, but many cancers are diagnosed at a point when some cancer cells have already had the chance to migrate. The other idea scientist had, was to use Plerixafor, an agent used in human bone marrow donors to push stem cells into the bloodstream for harvesting. Plerixafor, was able to force dormant cancer cells out of the bone tissue into the bloodstream by inhibitiong the mechanism used by the cancer cells to anchor in the bone marrow (SDF-1/CXCR4 interaction anchors the cancer cells in bone marrow and Plerixafor is a CXCR4 inhibitor). Once the cancer cells are flushed back in to the blood stream they may be killed by the immune system or various therapies. I was specifically triggered by this finding as I already investigated and discussed Plerixafor in a previous post (Ref.) due to its other anti cancer action, i.e. the inhibition of M2-macrophages. Interestingly, an E-selectin inhibitor, that is easy accessible is Cimetidine (Ref.). Cimetidine is a well known over the counter drug, a histamine H₂ receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production. It is very safe, cheap and accessible and as a result it is given by most cancer clinics in Germany to thir cancer patients, as a anti metastasis drug, at a daily dose of 800mg/day. I find Plerixafor a very relevant treatment to be applied just before and after effective anti cancer therapies, including chemo. Administered before the therapy will get the hidden cancer cells back into the blood stream and expose them to the therapy. Administered after the therapy will reduce the chance of tumors to regrow (since Plerixafor will inhibit M2-macrophages). CXCL12 signaling at CXCR4 is important in glioblastoma growth promotion as a migration-directing chemokine and as a mitosis-stimulating cytokine system. Recent developments in other areas of medicine may have made it now possible to comprehensively block glioblastoma's use of CXCL12 signaling. CXCL12 signaling at CXCR4 requires an active intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel to function. Plerixafor (AMD3100) is a new small molecular weight inhibitor of CXCR4, FDA approved to aid in stem cell mobilization. Inhibition of CXCR4 by plerixafor is expected to inhibit particularly the glioblastoma stem cell population by inhibiting that sub-population's homing to the protective hypoxic niche. Histamine signals through the H1 receptor in glioblastoma cells to activate the intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel also, thereby forming a potential bypass for inhibition of CXCR4-initiated signaling. The antidepressant mirtazapine is perhaps the most potent H1 antagonist in common clinical use. By inhibiting H1 stimulation of intermediate conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels, it could prevent circumvention of CXCR4 inhibition by that path. The anti-fungal clotrimazole directly inhibits the intermediate conductance Ca2+- activated K+ channel at clinically achievable and well-tolerated doses. These three drugs used simultaneously are potential low morbidity paths to deeply inhibit CXCR4/CXCL12 signaling during cytotoxic glioblastoma treatment. Ref. I was reading that Cimetidine prevents metastasis by inhibiting processes which allow cancer cells to stick together (adhesion), and thus to form tumours. I'm not 100% of the complete role of the protein, but CD56 is commonly expressed in various types of cancer cells, and is known as the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM) and normally aids in cell-to-cell adhesion. I haven't been able to find that much online about it but it is possible that cimetidine would work better in CD56+ tumours. This was the only thing I could find on the hypothesis. Thank You, Daniel, for Your kind response in other post!!! It is important that You get enough sleep ! The biopsy of my primary tumor 4 years ago showed high amount of hormon receptors (100% Estrogen, 80%Progesteron, 100% Androgen). I had Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy 6xTAC, followed by surgery, which showed only 30% of Estrogen. (I think these changes are due to chemotherapy). I performed profilactic ovariectomy (in order to stop estrogen production). After ovariectomy I took Tamoxifen for 1.5 years. In this time lytic bone lesson appeared in spine T7 and with compression fracture in spine T6 (we think it was fast and agressive growing and during Tamoxifen using). I had radiosurgery to those 2 spots in spine. 3 month later Pet scan showed all is clear. (Just now I realize that this Pet did not included femur, where now I have bone mets). Then I changed from Tamoxifen to Anastrozole, which is Aromathase inhibitor (as I understand it depleates Estrogens but can upping Androgens). During these 2 years after first bone mets and on Aromathase inhibitor new bone spots appeared in Femur and small part of old grew in spine T7, but the old lytic spot in spine T6 is silent with no activity. Should I use Cimetine as I had hormon receptors and I am now on Aromathase inhibitor? Or Maybe I can use Cimetidine on short periods? It must be my naturopathic training, but I admit I have had an aversion to Cimetidine because of the lowering of stomach acid which can impact nutrient absorption (B12, calcium and potentially other nutrients) and digestion (low stomach acid has been associated with SIBO and decreased pancreatic output). Now, looking into the timing of dosing, it appears that 800mg before bed did not impact daytime acid secretion. There are likely advantages to 400mg twice a day in terms of keeping a steady influence on the body, as always, advantages and disadvantages need to be weighed. It seems cimetidine/cancer studies have used both dosing administrations.

Haven't played Project Cars OH version for a while, now it crashes to desktop. I started the game and it crashes randomly, sometimes right when a race starts, and sometimes about 30 seconds into a race. Has anyone else experienced crashing in this game lately? I also just started using a Thrustmasters TMX wheel as well so I'm not sure if that can cause an issue with three sensors drawing all that power along with the wheel and in turn crashing the game? It crashes every time I play without fail. Any input is appreciated! Hey Licker1977 thanks for the reply. So rolling back my nvidia driver should fix the issue? You had success with this? I have the latest nvidia drivers currently and I have a 1080 FE. Thanks! Sweet. I will check it out when I get home today and report my findings. Thanks again dude! I rolled back my driver and no luck it still crashes as soon as it loads. Thanks for trying though man. I was trying to avoid a fresh reinstall on my computer but it looks like it might be time. Might be, or might not be related, but the Rift has been crashing for some of us a lot after the latest update. Thanks for the reply ELUNO11. That's a good point. Hopefully that is the case and they are working on it. I will hold off for a bit and see what plays out.

Sheldon Croney Jr. Breece Hall Johnnie Lang Deshaunte Jones Connor Assalley Matt Campbell La'Michael Pettway Brock Purdy Sports College football Football College sports Iowa Big Ten Iowa State Big 12 No. 21 Iowa State survives Northern Iowa in 3 OT, 29-26 By LUKE MEREDITH - Aug. 31, 2019 05:37 PM EDT Iowa State running back Sheldon Croney, right, dives over the goal line to score the winning touchdown in the third overtime of a NCAA college football game against Northern Iowa, Saturday, Aug. 31, 2019, in Ames. Iowa State won 29-26 in a third overtime. (AP Photo/Matthew Putney) AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy's eyes lit up when he saw a potential game-losing fumble floating aimlessly near the goal line. The sophomore sprang into action, snapping up Sheldon Croney Jr.'s triple-overtime miscue and saving the Cyclones from a devastating defeat — even by their standards. Croney Jr. scored from a yard out on the next play and 21st-ranked Iowa State rallied to edge past FCS school Northern Iowa 29-26 on Saturday. La'Michael Pettway had a pair of touchdown catches for the Cyclones (1-0), who barely survived a massive upset after entering the year ranked for the first time since 1978. Croney fumbled just shy of the end zone on the second-to-last play of the game. But Purdy saw the ball bounce out, and he sprinted from the backfield to recover it at the 1 in perhaps the biggest play of his impressive young career. "I saw who was underneath the pile, so I knew who would come up with it. Doesn't that tell you what he is about?" Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said about Purdy's heads-up play. "When I saw him there I thought we were going to be in great shape." For four quarters and nearly three extra sessions though, the last thing the Cyclones were in was great shape. Iowa State had to settle for a 23-yard field goal from Connor Assalley with 59 seconds left in the fourth quarter simply to force overtime. Purdy had a touchdown run called back because of holding before that kick. After the teams traded field goals in the first OT, Purdy found Pettway — a graduate transfer from Arkansas in his Iowa State debut — in the back of the end zone. But Northern Iowa pulled even at 23-all after freshman Will McElvain scrambled long enough to free up Trevor Allen for a 7-yard TD catch on a ball that travelled at least 40 yards. Iowa State forced Northern Iowa into a field goal to start triple overtime, and Purdy completed three straight passes to set up a hectic finish. "I don't know if the defense really saw it," Purdy said of his fumble recovery. "I had probably the best angle on it. It was pretty scary. I'm not going to lie." The Cyclones were the second ranked team to win an overtime game against an FCS opponent. Auburn held off Jacksonville State 27-20 in 2015. "That's why I love coaching in this game. It demands you being your best right out of the gate," Campbell said. McElvain finished with 228 yards passing and a touchdown in his collegiate debut. Purdy threw for 278 yards while completing 30 of 41 passes. Deshaunte Jones caught 14 balls, the second-most in school history, for 126 yards for Iowa State. Iowa State: Part of the Cyclones' struggles can be attributed to the fact that Northern Iowa isn't the least bit intimidated about driving about 100 miles southwest to play them. The Panthers even have three wins in Ames dating back to 2007. But Iowa State's offense, hurt by some questionable play calling, left a ton to be desired. The Cyclones also missed stars David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler perhaps more than anyone thought they would. Northern Iowa: McElvain, a freshman from nearby Des Moines who was offered a walk-on spot by the Cyclones, looks like he's got a bright future. His scramble to find Allen in double OT was one of the best plays of the young season. "Really talented guys who can run and escape, that's a challenge," Campbell said. "As the game wore on, I thought you saw his athletic ability come forward." CYHAWK COINCIDENCE? The last time a ranked team lost to an FCS school? That was three years ago when Iowa, the team Iowa State hosts in two weeks, fell to North Dakota State. But there's another connection to the rival Hawkeyes that the Cyclones can take solace in. In 2009, Iowa needed back-to-back blocked field goals to hold off these very same Panthers. That Hawkeyes team rallied to win the Orange Bowl that season. Iowa State's defense looked like it belonged on New Year's Day, but its offense at times looked like the first day of spring ball. RUNNING BACK ROULETTE Iowa State's muddled running back situation didn't get much closure in the opener. Johnnie Lang (14 carries for 60 yards) and freshman Breece Hall (11 for 47) shared the bulk of the carries until the fourth, when Croney was called upon. He found his stride, finishing with 56 yards on 13 attempts. It's very hard to imagine Iowa State maintaining its place in the Top 25 after that performance. "All that work and all that time came to that ball laying on the ground and it was who came up out of that scrum," Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley said. "It actually stopped for a second, and we all watched it sit there." Iowa State has next week off. The Cyclones host No. 20 Iowa on September 14. Northern Iowa: The Panthers host Southern Utah on September 7.

Hands-On Kids' Museums Make Learning Fun Immersion and interaction are the name of the game at children's museums around the country. NPR's Neda Ulaby visited WaterWays in San Jose and the Dinosphere in Indianapolis to see the next generation of kids' museums firsthand.

A Day At The Museum: A Century Of Museum Field Trips Bringing History To Life: The $25 million Dinosphere at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis features hands-on archaeological digs and one of the largest fossil displays in the United States. Courtesy of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis hide caption Courtesy of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis Bringing History To Life: The $25 million Dinosphere at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis features hands-on archaeological digs and one of the largest fossil displays in the United States. Ecstatic shrieks fill the WaterWays exhibition at the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum. The gray industrial room is crammed with troughs, pools, pipes, wheels and chutes. Water spurts and jets; it splashes over squealing children who hurl bright plastic balls into watery vortexes. While the children may be soaking up some of the basic principles of water pressure, they're also joyously dipping their germy little hands into the exhibit itself. Some kids even lap at the water like puppies. But parents can rest assured — 850 gallons of water circulate through WaterWays' two filtration systems every five minutes. One of them catches any material larger than 1 micron, and the other combines two ozone and bromine sanitation systems to guarantee the highest water quality. Kids love water, but this exhibit is particularly meaningful to children in a drought state. "Kids in California don't get exposed to the rain very much," says Marilee Jennings, executive director of the museum. She says it's thrilling for these kids to sit under a Plexiglas shell and gaze up into a simulated rainstorm. Immersion and interaction are the two words you'll hear over and over, when talking tech with children's museum experts. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is the biggest — and arguably the best — children's museum in the world. At 450,000 square feet and five stories high, the museum attracts more than 1 million visitors a year. Many come specifically for Dinosphere; the $25 million dinosaur exhibit began as an IMAX-style theater, but when similar theaters opened nearby, museum officials decided to "recycle" theirs into a sort of fancy dinosaur terrarium. The high-tech, large-format domed screen makes it possible for clouds and great winged pteranodons to float across a sky that darkens into storms. Scent pods waft forth faint aromas of pine, magnolia and — brace yourself — sweaty elephant. (That smell, after all, would be nectar to a hungry Tyrannosaurus rex.) The ancient lizard king is well-represented here. The Dinosphere centerpiece showcases a pair of toothily grinning Tyrannosaurus skeletons menacing a fiercely snapping triceratops. They're all composed mostly of real fossilized bones, the color of dark coffee or good chocolate. Dramatic Las Vegas-style lighting and sound help deliciously tingle the spines of any self-respecting 9-year-old. But littler kids can get anxious here. So a grotto just by the exhibit entrance offers a safe play space, with dinosaur costumes with soft cotton dinosaur eggs, so little kids can work up their courage before venturing into the exhibition proper. Soon, they're running around and roaring with the big kids. The games and immersive activities here are designed to capture kids' interest and imagination, but also keep them moving, Durability is an enormous issue. Exhibit designers often filch materials made to be used in factories — they can hold up to the loving pounding and thwacking of children. The Dinosphere also contains a working paleontology lab and a life-size excavation pit, where kids dig a realistic dinosaur skeleton out of specially composted sandy material, trademarked by the museum. All of this qualifies as "slow technology," or technology that's created to support play, rather than being the main focus. Children's museums try to integrate low and high technology to keep kids interested in the exhibition's concepts. A public library kiosk in Dinosphere lets kids from anywhere in Indiana check out library books and send them back through the state's interlibrary loan system. Cathy Hamaker, an exhibit developer at the museum, says that for an exhibit about castles and catapults, she even took the Wii gaming system as inspiration: "We were originally going to have them throw things at real castle walls, but then we thought, 'Eh, it's gonna end up with little brother getting put in the catapult,' " Hamaker says. Museum directors know that kids see enough screens, but they also know that kids are attracted to them. The trick for exhibit designers is combining familiar technology with activities that capture a child's curiosity in new ways. "Technology is a controversy, I think, in children's museums," says Jennings of the San Jose museum. "Part of what we aspire to is to get kids away from the screens."

On that special day, have some convivial conversation or, better yet, start a spirited argument with these choice tidbits of information. Some "True" History Not everyone knows the story of the Texan who went to Ireland to challenge the best drinkers of the day, so I'll recap it for you. On a trip to Ireland, the Texan enters the most famous pub in Dublin and lays down a challenge. He can drink twenty pints of Guinness in an hour and he'd like to see someone beat that record. He will go pint for pint against any man in the house. If someone can beat him, he says, he will acknowledge that the beer drinkers of Ireland are superior to those of Texas. He watches with amusement as most of the Irishmen stay quiet. He even notices one lad with a particularly distinctive cap slip out the back door. An hour later, the Texan is almost ready to give up and claim the title for himself when he feels a tug at his elbow. It's the boyo with the cap who left out the back door. "I'll take your challenge," says the Irishman, " and I'll beat you too." The Texan looks him up and down and answers, "No problem. We're on, but first answer a question from me. Why did you leave out the back door when I first made the challenge?" The Irishman looks back, takes a sip of his Guinness and replies, "Well, I thought it might be difficult to best your record, so I just slipped next door to Clancy's to make sure I could do it." Credit: Sebb The Situation Today Guinness is, beyond a doubt, the most popular beer in the South of Ireland. In fact, there is very little in the way of home brewing of even microbreweries. If you walk into an Irish pub in the South, you are sure find Guinness and your health will be toasted with the Gaelic word, "Slainte." To be sure, this is the fact in the South of Ireland. In the still divided North, while you will find Guinees in pubs that cater to a Catholic clientele, it is unknown in pubs that serve Protestant drinkers. In fact, entering a "Protestant" pub, buying a beer and saying "Slainte' is grounds for being thrown out or worse. The drinkers in those pubs are staunchly pro-English and one, instead, should say "Cheers." Credit: Public DomainYour Man - Arthur Guinness It is an unfortunate situation that the Irish in the north and South will not reconcile with each other but the history of Guinness brings has another bizarre twist. Arthur Guinness was a member of the Anglican Church, that is, he was a Protestant. He despised the Catholic religion, through and through, and the company he started embodied that sentiment completely. Though all of the beer was initially brewed in Ireland, its headquarters is still in London, England. In addition, until the mid-twentieth century, any brewer who intended to marry a Catholic was "asked" to resign. Mr. Guinness, himself, was, until his death, an unrepentant Irish Unionist which meant that he favored English sovereignty over the country of Ireland. There is no word on whether he changed his mind afterwards. Though much of this is ancient history, it is still interesting to note that in mans quest for the best beer, no amount of aggravation or animosity is insurmountable. Just some thoughts to ponder as you have those wonderful pints on Saint Patrick's Day. 9 Natural Sweeteners You can Use instead of Refined Sugar

Jul 1, 2020 4 min read Newsletter 🇮🇳🇨🇳The splinternet: Indian TikTok edition. What should we make of this? I prepared this analysis for members today, but I'm sharing it with all my readers because I know that many are scratching their heads trying to understand what's going on. If you'd like to receive insight on the near future every week, join the community. Two weeks ago, Indian and Chinese soldiers faced off like stone-age warriors. Clubs, spikes, fists, 13,500ft up in Ladakh, brutalising each other in this firearm free zone. This week, the battle between the two nuclear-armed powers moved to another arena: the digital market. India banned 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok and WeChat. TikTok has more than 200 million users in India, and it may be TikTok's biggest market. Some Indian TikTokers have millions of followers, charging thousands of dollars to post clips. Startups like EduTok have been built on the platform. In a statement, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said: The compilation of […] data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defense of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures. The ban will be enforced by India's internet service providers, who will be instructed by the government to block these apps. The Indian government may also be assessing Huawei and ZTE's participation in the nation's 5G networks. The ban on these 59 apps isn't the first time the India government has weighed in on these questions. Data localization has been going on in India for a few years, requiring companies to store critical user data in India. (See my essay on our spiky fragmented world.) In 2018, India took action against large foreign e-commerce platforms, preventing marketplaces from offering exclusive products, and influencing the sale price of goods and services. See EV#198 for more. The nationalist sentiment is an important part of Indian technology identity. As I wrote in EV#182 in 2018, India pushes back against the large tech platforms: For some Indian political leaders, it is as if their nation […] is being conquered by colonial powers all over again. This feeling, together with a nationalist government, may be behind the heavy hand of some of India's interventions. Says EV reader, Dev Lewis: The Indian government thinks about governing the internet in a very similar way to China, which is blanket bans, asserting national boundaries on the internet and essentially carving out what would eventually become a version of the Indian Great Firewall. For companies, navigating this terrain is complicated. India is a massively attractive market. Only a quarter of India's 1.4 billion people has a smartphone. It is already a huge market and only going to get bigger. The Indian startup scene is booming. More than $14 billion went into India's startups in 2019. Local venture capital is booming. ISP, Reliance Jio, raised more than £15 billion from Facebook, Silverlake, KKR and others. Phone manufacturer, Foxconn, now has 30,000 employees in India churning out lower-end iPhones. An ecosystem of subcontractors and suppliers has moved with them. Bytedance, TikTok's parent, hasn't received the same warm welcome. The company has made some efforts to localise its operations. As the WSJ points out here: Bytedance said its roughly 2,000 employees in India are "committed to working with the government to demonstrate our dedication to user security and our commitment to the country overall." Empowering local management teams in countries including India has been crucial to the company's success world-wide [according to the company.] But this wasn't enough. National sovereignty matters. It is through national laws that this ban will be enforced. The Internet as an independently regulated cyberspace is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. India has demonstrated that it will seek to intervene to further its national interests. Yes, the ban on 59 Chinese apps can be seen through the lens of Sino-Indian competition. But the Indian government had previously made life harder for American retailers, Amazon and Walmart. Global decoupling is not just a gruelling sparring session between China and America. Rather it reflects a series of different pressures, some security-driven, some economic, but all about sovereignty in the face of technology change, that we are seeing expressed by the UK, EU and, of course, India. Technological decoupling is less bloody and brutal than fighting with spikes and metal clubs high up in the Himalayas, but it will have very deep ramifications. To dig deeper, listen to my discussion with Parag Khanna on the geopolitics of technology from an Asian lens and revisit my essay on our spiky, fragmented world. Photo by Kon Karampelas on Unsplash

A recent press release from Penn Medicine states that researchers have discovered a way to grow human stem cells destined to become mature sperm in an effort to provide fertility options later in life to males who are diagnosed with cancer and undergo chemotherapy and radiation as children. The findings were published in Nature Communications from a team lead by Sandra Ryeom, PhD, an associate professor of Cancer Biology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and co-leader of the Tumor Biology Program at the Abramson Cancer Center. "We have never had any fertility preservation options for prepubescent boys," said study co-author Jill Ginsberg, MD, a paediatric oncologist and director of the Cancer Survivorship Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "The findings in this work are a great first step forward for our youngest patients," she said. Researchers have known that the production of sperm could be restored in mice that were sterilized after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent busulfan by injecting immature sperm cells from a donor into their seminiferous tubules—located in the testes. From this, oncologists suggested that SSCs might be harvested from boys before the start of chemotherapy and reintroduced into their testes when treatment was complete. However, the testes of prepubescent boys contain such a small number of SSCs that, in order for this approach to be successful, the cells would need to be grown and multiplied in the lab prior to subsequent reinjection. Transplanting testicular endothelial cells (but not lung endothelial cells) into the testes of mice after destruction of sperm due to treatment with the chemotherapy drug busulfan restores developing sperm. Photo credit: Dong-Ha Bhang, Penn Medicine: Nature Communications. Mouse cells in long-term culture restored the ability of mice after chemotherapy-induced infertility to produce sperm. Ultimately, the SSCs were functional as demonstrated by the birth of live pups after being fathered by mice with the transplanted SSCs and growth factors. The study was supported in part by the National Cancer Institute (T32 CA009140, R01 CA118374), the St. Baldrick's Foundation, The Garrett B. Smith Foundation, and the TedDriven Foundation. Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centres, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as America's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $7.8 billion enterprise.

E1 of 6 Series 8 - Episode 1 Winterfell After eight years, 67 episodes and thousands of grisly deaths, Game of Thrones all comes down to this — six extra-long final episodes where we'll find out whether the remaining characters can fight off the undead army marching from the North, or whether we'll be saying goodbye to them like we did Sean Bean, Richard Madden and countless other cast members before. Before all that, though, there's plenty of interpersonal drama to keep the high and mighty of Westeros busy as Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) receive a slightly frosty welcome at Winterfell, and Sam (John Bradley) struggles with the gobsmacking secret he has to reveal to his best friend. Don't expect too much big-budget action in this episode — apparently, the series' feature-length third episode will feature Thrones' biggest and most impressive battle yet, and that's a couple of weeks off — but with the end in sight, there probably won't be much wasted time, either, as the Starks gather their allies for the final battle. Winter is here, at last. The fantasy drama based on George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels returns for its eighth and final season. The Wall, which has protected the Seven Kingdoms for 8,000 years, has fallen, and the Night King's army of the dead marches towards Westeros. Meanwhile in Winterfell, Jon and Daenerys arrive, and the Stark children are reunited. Starring Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington and Peter Dinklage.

Don't skip this article T-Mobile subscribers, this is one of the best deals I have come across for quite some time. T-Mobile has discounted the very capable and well-regarded LG V20 to just $360, down from $769. We were excited about this phone going on sale for $500 just a couple of days ago, and this is a way better deal! On top of a killer price, LG has a separate promotion running for people who purchase an LG V20 (or G5) through T-Mobile. Buy one, and submit your receipt through their promotion website and they'll mail you a free 720p LG MiniBeam portable projector which sells for $350 on Amazon. Now for some important notes. The projector promotion has been running since February 10th, and today is its last day. If you want to cash in on the freebie you must purchase the V20 today, receipts with a later date will not qualify. At the risk of sounding like a used car salesman, I'm going to shout at you, act NOW! The only other stipulation that you need to be aware of is that the phone must be purchased on a T-Mobile plan, you can't just buy it outright. The projector is legitimately a sweet device, with a 720p output capable of casting up to a 100 inch screen. It has a built-in battery for up to 2.5 hours of cord-free viewing, HDMI input, and audio out via Bluetooth. With only 130 lumens of light output it won't be much good in daylight, but it should work great in a dark environment. My wife has needed to replace her ailing Sony Z3 for several months, and I've been looking for the right deal to pop up to lure me into a purchase. This is the one I've been waiting for. I'm hopping on this promotion as soon as I finish typing the article, and I imagine a lot of you will be too. To take advantage of the offer, head over to T-Mobile to buy the V20 today. Then, after your phone arrives, go to LG's T-Mobile promotion website to fill out the offer redemption form before March 22nd. In about six weeks they'll mail you your free projector.

Google's Ingress Game Combines Virtual and Real World Play "Ingress," a multiplayer game that uses the entire globe as its game board, made its debut on iOS this week. Now, iPhone users can join in the fun of working with other online gamers to find real life portals in their community and progress through the "Risk"-like game. "Ingress" already has about four million downloads on Android devices in about 200 countries. Google has also taken advantage of advertising opportunities, allowing businesses to pay to become a portal. Avid "Ingress" users are not the type of users that are glued to their phone. Instead the game requires users to get out and explore their own city to find portals at local art installations, historical sites, or even Zipcar pick-up locations. "According to Hanke [the creator of 'Ingress'], people have rented helicopters to go and capture portals, airline pilots are playing 'Ingress' as they fly around the world and people play with their phones mounted on their motorcycles," Wired reports. "Ingress" also encourages players to interact with each other and work together to complete game missions. For example, some 1,200 players from 20 countries cooperated in Operation Ode to Joy, a strategic game maneuver that involved "capturing" the entire European continent. Often, these players interact outside of the game, too, planning their moves on Google Hangouts or posting YouTube videos. "With the social media, plus YouTube plus the mobile game altogether form a new kind of entertainment experience — I would say it's bigger than just a game," explained "Ingress" game creator John Hanke said. Previously, Hanke led the Google Earth project. By combining the physical and virtual worlds, "Ingress" has found an even more effective way to advertise. Instead of simply seeing an ad at the bottom of the screen within the game, players can be directed to a business to progress through the game. The pharmacy chain Duane Reade used to host a game asset within select locations, and players would come into the store, find the asset, scan its code, and unlock game tools or weapons. According to Quartz, some JCDecaux display ads serve as portals within the game. Topics: Ads, Advertising, Android, App, Businesses, City, Community, Downloads, Duane Reade, Game, Gameplay, Gaming, Google, Google Earth, Google Hangouts, Ingress, iOS, iPhone, JCDecaux, John Hanke, Multiplayer, Operation Ode to Joy, portals, Social Media, Video, Virtual, YouTube, Zipcar ‹ Previous Article Next Article ›

What's On Tap • A FULL PINT! India Pale Ale / 53.3 IBU's • 6.6% ABV This slightly hazy copper brew pours with a white head at only 53 IBU's and has a low perceived bitterness. With a refreshing malty backbone, this beer finishes with a strong citrus flavor resembling orange peels derived from the large Amarillo dry-hop. If you're a hop head, drink this beer. American Weiss Beer / 15.1 IBU's • 5.3% ABV Upon pouring, this beer is light in color with very little haze and a very thick head. Similar to traditional German-style Weissbier, this beer boasts huge banana and clove aromas followed by a wonderful taste of banana, vanilla and spices that finishes with a fruity, smooth aftertaste. The fluffy mouthfeel can be attributed to the amount of protein gained from the wheat which also leaves a beautiful lacing in your glass. German-style Helles Lager / 15 IBU's • 4.5 ABV A light Munich Helles lager pale in color with a sweet cereal nose and a dry finish. An easy-drinking, light beer full of simple flavors. Whether the weather is hot or whether the weather is not, this brew was meant for relaxation, enjoying good company and watching the south Georgia sunset. Knock a few back, because the only thing more persistent than gnats is a pint glass bugging you for more.

Thank you so much for coming to Ethereum in search of "1 Xem To BTC" online. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the correct area at the right time. While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these issues are resolved. The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present built-in difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. A lot of people prefer to use a currency deflation, particularly those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living pay check to pay check, it'd happen as part of your wealth, with the rest reserved for other currencies. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. You have probably noticed this many times where you typically distribute the good word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What goes on if the price accidents? " So far, many POS systems delivers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people is likely to be hesitant to keep any. We need to find a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won. If you're considering going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the wages. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's simply a representation of worth, but there is no actual tangible sort of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers assert that there's "actual" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some type of benefit in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does. The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It's also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the process by which it is transacted. All deals over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This is not anything short term wherever your customers can challenge or need a refunds, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, most traders could be wise to work with a cost processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency orders, you need to be sure that security is tricky. With any kind of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal keys and therefore take your money. Unfortunately, you most likely will never get it back. It is very important for you really to undertake some great safe and secure procedures when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This can protect you from all of these damaging activities. In case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be dealt being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of electronic money isn't controlled by a main banking system and it is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a restricted variety of items, this coin's price is dependant on market forces, allowing homeowners to trade over cryptocurrency trades. When searching on the web for1 Xem To BTC, there are many things to ponder. Click here to visit our home page and learn more about 1 Xem To BTC. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more immune to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can easily be achieved by just being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. This mining task validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it isn't wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever. Since among the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it truly is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these sites you happen to be needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of an acceptable investment strategy. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no requirement for big amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. If you are in search for 1 Xem To BTC, look no further than Bitcoin. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making massive ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin design provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and miss out on very lucrative business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It should be difficult to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small gains is more profitable than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there is more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital money referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common money we know. This is because they are not commanded by any country or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. Additionally, it brought enormous remedies to the problems of identity theft online. Transactions go through several celebrations as a means of creating trust, but nowadays it's possible to create trust through development of a complicated code by a single party.

Race day for the two final Grand Prix races of the 2018 season offered a dry, warm set of conditions, with a track certain to be dusty if not profusely watered. Qualifying had delivered a mixed set of results, in that at least two of the top teams would probably be sitting this one out. Stuart Brown and Joe Millard, whilst easily winning Last Chance to qualify, were in trouble with Stuart's wrist injury. This is a punishingly fast track, with several high-speed jumps onto hard terrain. The Czech Cermak brothers had a very fast get-off over one of those jumps, almost rotating past the vertical. Tomas the driver, went with the machine over the brow of the next hill. He almost certainly would be another sidelined. At this stage of the season, wisdom dictates that the best decision is to rest and recover, rather than try to ride through the pain barrier. Warm-up saw a very fast Giraud/Badaire, likewise Hermans/Musset initially, but then Vanluchene stamped all over it. He was clearly going to finish the year on a high. Race One – After huge build-up tension, the gate dropped to see Arne Dierckens and Luc Rostingt grab the lead from Koen Hermans and Nicolas Musset. Once again, a terrific start by the team from Northern Ireland saw Moulds and Kirwin sitting third on the opening lap. All the big names were in the front mix including Vanluchene and Van Den Bogaart. The exceptions were Bax and Willemsen, both teams having a shocking start, with loads of work ahead of them. In typical Bax style, he got stuck in, passed Daniel Willemsen and began the chase. Valentin Giraud was flying in pursuit of Julian Veldman and Glenn Janssens who were now third. The pace at the front was incredibly quick with breathtakingly fast jumps. Ten minutes in, and the top five were all within five seconds of each other, with Vanluchene at the back of the quintet. Easily the "best of the rest" were Brett Wilkinson and Dan Chamberlain in a strong sixth and getting quicker. Fifteen minutes in, and the new champions banged in the quickest lap of the race, sending a signal they were on the move. Giraud then went third, just as Etienne Bax amazingly moved into eighth. He was making good progress. Then Dierckens dropped back with steering damper problems and Veldman assumed control, chased now by Giraud/Badaire. Wilkinson was now fourth, whilst Bax had made it through to sixth ahead of the flying Ulsterman Moulds and his English passenger Kirwin. Both Hermans and Dierckens had gone by this time. Not a good scenario for second in the title stakes Hermans, but Bax would need to win or be second in this one to give himself any hope of claiming that place. Julian Veldman and Glenn Janssens now led comfortably from Giraud and Vanluchene. That was how it finished, with Bax unable to get into the big points needed to challenge the now stationary Hermans. Brett Wilkinson and Dan Chamberlain had once again distinguished themselves in world class company. Race Two - Enough watering had taken place earlier in the day, so the track was still damp ahead of this final race of 2018. Koen Hermans might have retired from race one, but he had this start nailed ahead of Dierckens and race one winner Veldman. Vanluchene and Gert Van Werven came next, with Van Werven keen to get decent points for his top ten aspirations. Etienne Bax and Kaspars Stupelis were much more in touch this time in fifth and not too far off the lead. The top four were split by around four seconds, with Wilkinson and Chamberlain once again progressing well behind Bax. Lap four, and last year's champion did the fastest lap in his quest to get on terms with the leaders. At the front though, Hermans and Musset meant business and were now five seconds clear with a record lap speed for the race. Fifteen minutes in and Veldman was once again into second with an almighty scrap for the places behind him between Vanluchene, Dierckens and Bax. Wilkinson looked safe in sixth from a very rapid Giraud. Koen Hermans and Nicolas Musset now had a massive thirteen second lead, but overall victory honours looked to be going the way of young Julian Veldman who was strong in second place, to back up his race one victory. Into the closing stages and Bax went third in pursuit of Veldman. He too was heading for a podium, but which step? Wilkinson too moved fifth and another great result for him. Meanwhile, the new champions settled for fourth to back up their race one third, to climb the podium second overall. Not a bad way to round out the season.

Ellerbe Road Power Outage Caused by Drunk Driver Crash Mike Martindale Published: January 5, 2023 CPSO Ellerbe Road at the intersection of Highway 175 is completely closed due to a major crash that also caused a power outage in the area. Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator reported that a St. Landry Parish man was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and careless operation of a vehicle. Caddo Parish Deputies were called to the intersection Ellerbe Road and Highway 175 just before 9PM on Wednesday following a major crash. Deputies determined a GMC truck was eastbound on Ellerbe Road and stopped at the intersection. He then proceeded through the intersection traveling east, failing to yeild to an 18 wheeler traveling southbound on Highway 175. The two vehicles collided in the intersection and crashed into a SWEPCO pole, which then caused down power lines and a power outage. The driver of the GMC truck, 50 year old Christopher Fontenot, was arrested and booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on one count of 1st offense DWI, and one count of careless operation of a vehicle. SWEPCO had up to 5 trucks at the crash site and are working to restore power as quickly as possible.

The full album will be released early in 2019 with extra tracks, and as limited edition vinyl and cd offerings for true collectors.

Josh McRoberts. Who is actually 2nd in the group behind durant in assists/36 mins. Not many bigs get 4 assists a game or more. That's a good list to be on. Good to see Kevin Love up there. It feels like he was closer to 2 or 2.5 assists per game earlier in his career. Kevin Durant is putting up freakish stats all around. In today's super sophisticated game based more on flex offenses, multiple scoring options, and a reliance on "efficiency" scoring 31 points (plus) in today's NBA would be like scoring 34 or 35 points in the early/mid Eighties. KD is on a roll. I guess that Marc Gasol isn't on that list then. He should probably average 4 assists a game -- MINIMUM. Kind of surprising to see McRoberts with that many assists, he has to be among the most improved players in the league.. If I'm not mistaken, McRoberts has one of the highest assist to turnover ratios in the entire NBA. I'm an idiot. Disregard my previous comment. Not surprising really, McRoberts has always had good ast% numbers, he only had fewer minutes and touches. Always been a gifted passer since his HS days. Charlotte runs their offense through him a lot, both from the high post and the top of the key, he's probably their best playmaker, kinda similar to what happens in Chicago with Noah. The biggest surprise in his season is his jumper, he finally developed as a shooter as he was expected to earlier in his career now that everybody had probably lost hopes.

Respect is crucial in nuclear talks with Iran At P5+1 talks in Moscow, all sides must learn from past mistakes and recognise that fair exchange should be central to dialogue Hossein Mousavian and Mohammad Ali Shabani Fri 15 Jun 2012 05.18 EDT First published on Fri 15 Jun 2012 05.18 EDT 'The P5+1 wanted Iran to stop enriching uranium to 19.75%' … a uranium processing site in Isfahan. Photograph: Raheb Homavandi/Reuters After a decade, we are nearing an endgame on Iran's nuclear file. The initial positive atmosphere during Tehran's talks with the P5+1 (the five members of the UN security council plus Germany) in Istanbul in April had been lost by the next round of talks in Baghdad, in May. In Istanbul all the players seemed to understand that the most important issue was trust – not the number of centrifuges in the Islamic republic's possession. This was displayed through the announcement of EU foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton, that negotiations would be held on the basis of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT, which recognises Iran's right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes). Such mutual respect must be the basis of any dialogue, and future agreement. Yet in Baghdad it became obvious there was a long road ahead when the P5+1 went in demanding the maximum concessions from Iran, in return for making minimal concessions themselves. The Iranian negotiators were offered merely spare parts for passenger planes and help with acquiring a light water reactor. In exchange the P5+1 wanted Iran to stop enriching uranium to 19.75% (medium enriched uranium), export all such material, halt operations at the Fordo plant and allow IAEA inspectors to visit sensitive military sites. This trade-off was considered an insult by the Iranians. And the P5+1's incentive of fuel plates (uranium enriched to 19.75% moulded into plates) or the Tehran research reactor – which could have been attractive to Iran as recently as 2010, when it hadn't mastered the technology to manufacture such fuel on its own – didn't improve the mood. Luckily, this did not lead to the dialogue collapsing. There has been a long, dark history of missed opportunities between Iran and the US in regards to this. In 2003, Tehran offered Washington a deal over issues ranging from security to its nuclear programme – Dick Cheney notoriously responded by saying that "we don't talk to evil". A year later, the Iranians responded in kind when they rejected a request by the very same Bush administration for direct high-level talks. Then, in 2005, before Iran's nuclear file was referred to the UN security council, a nuclear deal between Iran and the EU was torpedoed by American opposition against any enrichment on Iranian soil. Almost a decade later, more items are being added to the list of missed opportunities. In Baghdad, the P5+1 relied too much on the deterrent power of the sanctions, making the strategic miscalculation that punitive measures would force the Iranians to give in. Instead it left the Iranian negotiators believing that their western counterparts didn't want sanctions removed. Furthermore it convinced the Islamic republic that the P5+1 needed to retain the additional sanctions card for the future, as there were so few areas left for them to sanction. For the dialogue to be fruitful and continue, all sides must learn from these mistakes of the past. If trust helped in Istanbul, in the talks with the P5+1 in Moscow on Monday, we need reciprocity. All sides need to be courageous enough to recognise a fair exchange is a central tenet of dialogue. Between ordinary people and governments alike, reciprocity can be expressed in many shapes; among them, in the form of mutual respect. In the context of Iran's dialogue with the P5+1, this means considering the concerns of all sides as equal and being willing to give at least as much as one takes. The core objective of the upcoming talks must be to strengthen the agreed-upon framework, which emphasises the NPT as its foundation. Only a commitment to a sincere process aimed at resolving the outstanding concerns of all parties, and most importantly, the courage to ensure the kind of reciprocity that can move things forward will ensure the talks are fruitful. • Follow Comment is free on Twitter @commentisfree Iran was behind bomb plot against Israeli diplomats, investigators find Western intelligence fears price of failure for Moscow talks on Tehran's nuclear programme could be high How Iran's revenge bomb plot over nuclear programme took shape Investigators piece together movements in India, Thailand and Georgia of Iranian conspirators behind triple bombing attempt Iran nuclear weapons talks enter a critical third round After low benchmarks in Istanbul and Baghdad, the heat is turned up in Moscow to avert a potential diplomatic crisis Iran warned to take 'concrete actions' ahead of new round of nuclear talks Six powers appear sceptical that Moscow talks will yield results as Israel says discussions only buy Iran more time The secret war over Iran's nuclear ambitions – timeline Iran arrests suspects over nuclear scientists' deaths

A clear message must be sent to those who are doubtful about the EU's worth: we are in this together. This article first appeared in the Guardian on 29 March 2009. So far, Europe's leaders seem to be mostly preoccupied with finding national answers to the global economic crisis. In particular, the leaders of "Old Europe" have been reluctant to open up their coffers for the countries of "New Europe". If this attitude prevails, there is a grave risk that the European project will become paralysed. This will not only delay the restoration of economic growth, but will also have dire political consequences. The EU's new members from eastern and central Europe have been hit much harder by the crisis than the old member states; they are also much less prepared to confront the situation psychologically and socially. Many were gravely disappointed when European leaders earlier this month rejected pleas to establish a special support programme for them. Of course, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was right to point out that each country should be dealt with according to its situation. But she and her colleagues should have voiced clearer and more emphatic support for the new member states. Emotions and expectations ran high when the new democracies from the former eastern bloc joined the EU only five years ago. Until the crisis hit last year, the enlargement had proven to be a profitable business for Old Europe: high growth rates in most of New Europe injected energy into Old Europe's sagging economies, much to the surprise of those who had predicted that enlargement would become an economic millstone around the neck of the established member states. But when the financial system crumbled growth rates fell like a ton of bricks. The new democracies were shaken as public protests erupted in some of their capitals, and some governments have fallen. Expectations and confidence in democracy, the market economy, and the larger European project have suffered as well. If this is allowed to continue, we might end up opening a Pandora's box, setting free the nationalistic and xenophobic ghosts of the past. Some of these democracies are very young and fragile. The optimism created by their peaceful return to a free and democratic Europe has been shattered to a degree that none of us could have foreseen. This is where political leadership is needed. The leaders of the well-established European democracies must explain to their own voters that enlargement has greatly benefited them, and that it will also be to their benefit to share the responsibilities and costs of steering the hardest-hit countries through the crisis. There were always exaggerated claims that bringing in the new members would be a costly affair, just as petty and narrow prejudices blemished the willingness to open up Europe's borders for "Polish plumbers". Any sober appraisal of what has actually happened since expansion would put the problems in perspective: when enlargement was agreed, the combined size of the 10 new members' economies roughly equalled that of the Netherlands. Today, after five years of much stronger growth among the newcomers, their combined GNP is somewhat smaller than that of the Benelux countries. Thus, the sheer magnitude of the task of reviving these economies is not overwhelming. But the political consequences of failure to deliver a message of genuine European solidarity will be. This is indeed "the hour of Europe". I remember when this phrase was last used: in 1991, when the chairman of the European Council of Ministers visited what was still Yugoslavia and eagerly accepted the empty promises of Slobodan Milosevic and his clique that they were ready to accept European pleas for a peaceful resolution to the conflicts there. The chairman stated: "This is the hour of Europe, not the hour of the Americans." As we all are embarrassingly aware, it was the Americans who had to produce the intervention that finally stopped the bloodshed in the Balkans. But this time we Europeans cannot expect others to step in. Turning to the International Monetary Fund or others when it comes to pulling our chestnuts out of the fire will not bring us the needed confidence in the European project. So this must be the hour of Europe. And that means that a clear message should be sent to those who are becoming doubtful about the EU's worth: We are in this together. We will find common European solutions. Solidarity among members is not just something we talk about when the future looks bright and rosy.

I picked up my Jackson Kayak "Cuda" last week. After researching how I wanted to do my rigging, I'd like to share what I decided to do in case it helps anyone looking to do something similar. Scupper Hole Transducer Mount by Lowrance Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mtn. Lowrance Elite 4x DSI Sonar Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mtn. Stealth Cam 12v Battery w/ Waterproof Box Cabela's/Bass Pro/Gander Mtn. 1) First I mounted the transducer, following the very simple Lowrance mount instructions. All the hardware is included in the kit. 2) Next I prepared the wiring to connect to the battery. To do this, you must cut the connector that would otherwise go to the trail cam and separate the wires into ground and positive. 3) Assemble the inline fuse and holder. 4) Connect the ground directly to ground wire that is attached to the DSI filter. Connect the positive battery wire to one end of the inline fuse holder, and connect the other end of the fuse holder to the wire coming from the DSI filter. Now you're ready to plug in to the unit. 5) This is a picture of the battery and the Velcro® I used to mount it inside the hull of the boat. The battery is charging in these pictures, so don't let the other wire confuse you! This battery came with a charger and the waterproof box. I had to trim the knobs on the bottom of the battery with a knife to get the Velcro® to sit flush. 6) Mounted the battery to the hull with Velcro® (an additional strap comes with the battery box that you could also use to secure to the inside of the kayak). 7) I bundled my wiring, secured it with a bungee, and rested it between battery and foam, leaving the transducer and unit wire to run out the middle console lid. 8) I then just mounted the main unit. 9) I ran the wires under the lid, and plugged in the main unit! Any questions at all, just let me know! I chose this setup because of its simplicity. It's more portable than a lot of other setups out there, and there is no drilling into the hull. Worst case scenario, you are just buying a new center lid or swapping out the STP. Now if I can just figure out where to mount my GPS... Happy rigging! About the author: Matt Kramp is new to YakAngler and new to yak fishing. He purchased a Jackson Cuda a few weeks back and wanted to share his experience with installing a depth finder. Nice Job. I am planning on doing the same on my Cuda. Thanks! The waffle material is called Silent Traction Padding (STP). I found it at Outdoor Provision Co. although you may have to order something like that off of the internet. It's really helped with noise, especially around my seat. I have the wires coming out from the rubber gasket around the console because I didn't want to leave my wires exposed all of the time (i.e. during transport). I also didn't want to introduce another hole and the cost that it would incur when I needed to seal it. I tossed around with using the RAM mount but decided I liked the sturdy wide base. I still have it sitting around though so let me know if you like it! Your set-up looks great! I just bought a lowrance elite 4 and a RAM mount, and plan on doing pretty much the same thing. I have one question, though. I've read on another site that the Lowrance scupper hole transducer mount does not fit the scupper holes on the jackson cuda (or in my case the cuda 12). Judging by your picture, it looks like it fits pretty well but I wanted to make sure before I spent the money. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! It fits just fine on my Cuda 12. It doesn't sit completely inside the scupper hole. Meaning, it does protrude about a half inch from the bottom. But, when the kayak is sitting on flat ground, it is clear from the ground. The only time I could see it being a problem is if you run shallow creeks. In that case, you may want to find a way to modify the mount to make it removable. Thanks for the help! I guess I was thinking that it was indeed a removable transducer mount that I could store out of the way when I was dragging the kayak or not using the fish finder. This is my first time using a fish finder so I'm new to everything about it, but I just thought that the mount would just slide in and out without much effort. I do a good bit of river fishing and the conditions can sometimes be pretty shallow, even forcing me to get out and pull the kayak. Any other suggestions/adv ice?? Yeah it isn't terribly easy to remove as-is but I've seen people modify the cap so that it will easily slide in and out. I will probably look into it myself, eventually. If you don't put the cap on at all, it is very removable so you could start with that and decide later how you want to modify the cap or whether you care to have it at all. When you cut the wire for the camera how to you know which is positive and which is neg ?.. Thank you !!! I cut the AC adapter off and then separated the two wires from each other. Then I stripped about 2 inches of each one and went outside and tested each wire using my fish finder. You just have to guess at first (50/50 chance of getting it right), but once you get the right connection and your fish finder cuts on, you can then mark the hot wire. Just make sure that you mark it somehow so you don't have to repeat the process when you get ready to make your connections. Awesome thank you for your help one more question the red light when you plug in the charger... Does it turn green when it is done charging? I'll try to help answer your questions, But I don't use this battery. Sounds like something is up with the wiring out of the battery box. I would use a volt meter to check the voltage across the 2 wire coming out of the box. If there is 0 Volts there is something wrong with the box, the wiring, or it has a fuse in it that is blown. If there is less then 10 volts and you have over 12 volts or more at the battery terminals there is a poor connection or something is corroded. I am assuming because this is new it is not corroded. If you have 12 Volts on the wires try switching them you have them backwards. Thanks Greg. It's just a 12 volt battery nothing special. Do I even need a inline fuse? No more amps than its pulling just kind of seems pointless. Anyways thanks. I am installing an Elite -4 DSI in my JK Big Tuna. I was wondering how you chose which scupper hole to use for the transducer, i.e. forward or aft hole? I want to protect the transducer when I drag the yak (thus a forward hole installation) but also protect it from shallow/river downed tree branches (maybe an aft location). Any suggestions? When I first mounted one in my Cuda I put it in the forward scupper for convenience like the author of this article did. I did find that in rough and choppy water that location was getting aerated and giving me poor performance. When I moved it under my seat I did not have that problem. When I installed it into my Tuna I put it under the seat because I knew from paddling the Tuna solo the front scuppers come out of the water a lot. The Lowrance transducer is small enough it fits right up into the Jackson scuppers and is well protected. The only way it would be better protected would be an in hull installation. 1. What does the volt reading on the FF mean? 2. I have an Elite 3x and cannot figure out how to remove the unit from the base without breaking it. Any ideas? The Volt reading tells you what your battery voltage is so you can see if your battery is dying. You can also use it for troubleshooting. I can't answer you second question as I used the RAM mounting system and no longer have the unit. do you have the plug in the finder while trying to take it off? If not it should come right off the unit easily unplugged. what type of fuse are you using? Blade type fuse or cartridge?

Necrotising otitis externa can be a devastating form of otitis externa. It typically tends to affect patients who are immunocompromised or diabetic. To date, there is very little in the literature about necrotising otitis externa in the immunocompetent patient population. The present paper discusses both the clinical and radiological findings in three cases of necrotising otitis externa in an immunocompetent patient cohort. The common factor among all three patients was their advanced age. Diagnosing necrotising otitis externa can be challenging because of the potentially non-specific symptoms and the absence of early radiological signs, particularly if patients are neither immunocompromised nor diabetic. Elderly patients should be considered in the same light as immunocompromised and diabetic patients in the context of necrotising otitis externa. Necrotising (or malignant) otitis externa is a well-recognised and potentially life-threatening form of otitis externa, which typically occurs in patients who are immunocompromised, particularly those with diabetes. Historically, it has not been identified in immunocompetent individuals. This paper reports three cases of necrotising otitis externa in patients who had no underlying medical condition causing them to be immunocompromised, though a common factor in all three cases was their advanced age. An 87-year-old man presented in April 2011 with a 6-week history of left-sided otalgia and otorrhoea. Examination revealed polypoidal tissue in the ear canal. This tissue was biopsied and histology showed inflammatory granulation tissue. Audiometry showed a moderate-to-severe mixed hearing loss in the left ear. An ear swab grew pseudomonas. The patient was treated with both oral and topical ciprofloxacin for two weeks. However, the otalgia intensified, and in May he developed a left facial nerve palsy (House–Brackmann grade V). He was admitted for pain control and intravenous Tazocin®. The findings of blood tests, including serum glucose, were normal, apart from raised white blood cell count and C-reactive protein (CRP), consistent with infection. At this time, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the temporal bones showed no abnormality. The otalgia improved, but his facial nerve palsy progressed to House–Brackmann grade VI. An isotope bone scan showed uptake in the left temporal bone consistent with osteomyelitis, and so the patient was readmitted for intravenous Tazocin. He was discharged after two weeks, and, on the advice of the microbiology department, given a further two weeks of oral ciprofloxacin and flucloxacillin. This resolved his pain, but not his facial nerve palsy. In August 2011, the pain returned, radiating to the throat, with a global deterioration of the patient's health. Evaluation of inflammatory markers showed a rising CRP level. A repeat CT scan (Figure 1) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in September 2011 (Figure 2) showed a mass involving the skull base, with extensive destruction of the temporal bone and extension into the retropharyngeal space. Clinically, the patient responded well to intravenous antibiotics, although he had now developed a left vagal nerve palsy, causing choking and difficulty swallowing. The ear canal had healed and the tympanic membrane looked normal, so a neoplastic process was considered. However, it was felt that the patient was unsuitable for any form of radical treatment for a malignancy and obtaining a further biopsy would be a relatively major procedure. The patient continued to improve clinically with intravenous antibiotics, and he was discharged on oral ciprofloxacin and flucloxacillin for two months. A further MRI scan (Figure 3) performed three months after discharge from hospital showed a reduction in the size of the mass evident on the first scan. On review in April 2012, the patient's swallowing had returned to normal, and flexible laryngoscopy confirmed partial recovery of vagal nerve function. An MRI scan conducted in June 2012 showed almost complete resolution of the retropharyngeal and skull base mass. However, there was no recovery of facial nerve function. He was referred on to the plastic surgeons, who undertook static facelift surgery coupled with a tarsorrhaphy in 2014. As of February 2017, although clinically well, the patient remains under the care of the physicians for dementia assessment. A 93-year-old man, with a history of atrial fibrillation, hypertension and hypothyroidism, presented to the ENT clinic in August 2013 with left-sided pain, hearing loss and purulent otorrhoea, in keeping with otitis externa. Initial examination demonstrated granulation tissue in the floor of the ear canal and facial nerve palsy (House–Brackmann grade II). He had no significant underlying medical condition causing him to be immunocompromised, and findings of blood tests, including serum glucose, were normal. He was admitted for intravenous antibiotics (Tazocin) and intensive topical treatment to the ear canal, including daily micro-suctioning. Pseudomonas and candida were isolated from the ear swab. An audiogram showed a moderate-to-severe mixed hearing loss. An initial CT scan of the temporal bones showed no evidence of osteomyelitis. Having completed a 15-day course of intravenous ceftazidime, the patient was discharged on oral ciprofloxacin for 4 weeks. Although his pain improved, the facial nerve palsy progressed to House–Brackmann grade VI. A repeat CT scan conducted in September 2013 (Figure 4) now showed destruction in the bone of the ear canal floor. An MRI scan showed an inflammatory mass in the left temporal bone, with apparent invasion of the stylomastoid foramen. In view of the radiology findings, he was readmitted for further intravenous antibiotic treatment (ceftazidime) and a biopsy of the ear canal, which confirmed inflammatory granulation tissue. His pain resolved completely and he was discharged with six weeks of oral ciprofloxacin. Upon review in October 2014, there had been no recovery of facial nerve function. In December 2014, the patient underwent a static facelift and tarsorrhaphy under the plastic surgeons. As of April 2017, he remains clinically well. A 93-year-old woman presented to the emergency department in January 2014 with a severe headache and a hoarse voice. Over the preceding three months, she had been seen on nine separate occasions with chronic otitis externa, which was treated with a combination of oral and topical antibiotics. She was not immunocompromised or diabetic, as confirmed via blood tests. Examination revealed a right vocal fold palsy, but facial nerve function was normal. Otoscopy showed a right ear canal polyp occluding the canal, but no active otorrhoea. Clinically, the patient had otitis externa. She was admitted for intravenous co-amoxiclav and was also started on topical Gentisone® HC. A CT scan of the temporal bones was unimpressive, but revealed bony destruction of: the right mastoid air cells, the petrous part of the temporal bone and the occipital bone. No intracranial abscesses were seen. Based on microbiology advice, treatment was changed to intravenous meropenem and topical ciprofloxacin. Antimicrobial therapy continued for a total of three weeks, in hospital, with nasogastric tube feeding. By discharge, the patient's swallowing problems and vagal nerve palsy had resolved. Oral ciprofloxacin was prescribed for a further three weeks after discharge. As of March 2017, she remains asymptomatic. Necrotising otitis externa is a well-recognised form of otitis externa in the diabetic and immunocompromised patient population. The most commonly implicated pathogenic organism is Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and this correlates precisely with our case series. It is hypothesised that the pathogenesis of the condition relates to microangiopathy, hypoperfusion and diminished host resistance due to diabetes. 1 , 2 The infection is thought to spread from the external auditory canal, to the temporal bone and skull base, via the fissure of Santorini and the osseocartilaginous junction. To date, there have been very few reports of this severe form of otitis externa in immunocompetent individuals. Su et al. reported one such case, but it was complicated by preceding mastoid surgery, 3 and so may not represent a true case of temporal bone osteomyelitis arising from otitis externa. In the case report by Cunningham et al., the isolated organism was aspergillus and not pseudomonas. 4 Extensive review of the English-language literature failed to identify any other cases of necrotising otitis externa due to pseudomonas affecting immunocompetent patients. In all three of our cases, the diagnosis of necrotising otitis externa was not considered at the time of initial presentation, as none of the patients were diabetic and none had any other medical conditions associated with immune system impairment. The only common factor in our series appears to be advanced age. It is widely accepted that ageing diminishes the host's ability to mount an effective immune response. 5 Factors such as age-related dysregulation of the cytokine milieu, defective haematopoiesis and chronic thymic involution have all been implicated in age-related immunoscenescence. 5 – 7 Interestingly, perhaps because of the perceived lack of association of the condition to the elderly and subsequent delayed diagnoses, all of the patients developed cranial nerve palsies: a facial nerve palsy (House–Brackmann grade VII) in cases one and two, and a vagal nerve palsy (grade X) in cases one and three. Although the vagal nerve palsies recovered, the facial nerve palsies did not. According to Illing and Olaleye, 2 the mortality rate rises from 33 per cent to 80 per cent with cranial nerve involvement, although this has been disputed in other studies which suggest a comparable survival rate in both groups. 8 Another interesting point in cases one and two was that initial CT scans were reported as normal, and bone destruction only became apparent later once cranial nerve involvement had progressed. This aptly illustrates the limitations of reliance on CT scans alone, and underlines the importance of using CT in combination with other imaging modalities like radioisotope scanning and MRI. Whilst CT scans can be useful in determining the location and extent of disease, particularly bony erosion, pathology tends to show late on CT because at least a third of the temporal bone must be eroded before pathology becomes obvious radiologically. As a corollary, CT is of limited utility in monitoring the treatment of infection because bone remineralisation continues long after resolution. 9 Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for illustrating soft tissue changes like dural enhancement and involvement of medullary bone spaces, which manifest as abnormal marrow signalling. However, as with CT, these changes can persist long after infection resolution, making MRI unsuitable for confirming resolution. 10 • Necrotising otitis externa is potentially life-threatening and carries significant morbidity associated with cranial nerve involvement • Late diagnosis is commonplace • Radiological findings may not reflect the true clinical picture • Necrotising otitis externa can also be found in immunocompetent patients, particularly in those of advancing age • Elderly patients should be considered in the same light as immunocompromised individuals in the context of necrotising otitis externa • Treatment must be initiated on clinical suspicion, even if no radiological findings, and later repeated, potentially with alternative imaging modalities Radioisotope scans are useful adjuncts to both CT and MRI; however, they are not widely available in day-to-day practice. Technetium-99 m radioisotope methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy offers a sensitivity of 100 per cent in diagnosing necrotising otitis externa, and allows earlier diagnosis of skull base osteomyelitis than CT alone. 11 Unfortunately, technetium-99 m (methylene diphosphonate), though useful, cannot discriminate between infective and non-infective processes. 10 , 11 This mandates the exclusion of a neoplastic process before confirming a diagnosis of necrotising otitis externa. Furthermore, technetium-99 m methylene diphosphonate remains positive for as long as bone repair continues, rendering it unreliable in the follow up of patients with necrotising otitis externa. 11 Gallium citrate Ga 67 radioisotope scanning, if available, is particularly useful for diagnosis and follow up. This is because the isotope binds to bacteria, and is absorbed by both macrophages and other cell components of the reticuloendothelial system, making the detection of infection more predictable: normal uptake indicates resolution of infection. 12 , 13 In conclusion, whilst traditional teaching has centred on considering the possibility of necrotising otitis externa in diabetics and patients who are otherwise immunocompromised, we propose that a third group, the very elderly patient population, ought to be considered in the same light. Given that each of our patients developed cranial nerve palsies, doctors treating the elderly for otitis externa need to ensure that these patients are closely monitored. Furthermore, clinicians should have a lower threshold for initiating aggressive medical treatment with intravenous antibiotics. Our series also shows that early imaging with CT scans may be misleading, and imaging should be repeated if there is a suggestion of clinical progression, particularly cranial nerve involvement.

Tommy Robinson supporters arrested after London protest https://www.meforum.org/islamist-watch/56091/tommy-robinson-supporters-arrested-after-london A group of Tommy Robinson supporters has blocked off a major road in central London in a tense stand-off with police, who made several arrests. Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the capital and blocked off the road around Trafalgar Square. Rows of riot police blocked the gate down the Mall leading to Buckingham Palace, where the Royal Family has gathered on the balcony after celebrating Trooping the Colour just hours earlier. The protest on Saturday afternoon was the latest in what appears to be a bid to secure the release from jail of the former leader of the English Defence League (EDL). Supporters chanted "Free Tommy Robinson" and hurled missiles and smoke bombs at police.

Is it thought that analytic philosophy is in decline after the linguistic turn? I would like to know from someone who has closely followed contemporary analytic philosophy if this idea has any currency. So by "is it thought" I mean is it a general trend or mood. The reason for asking is that I read this essay by PMS Hacker, which seems to hold that analytic philosophy "ended" with a purely negative, ordinary language analysis, and that current trends in analytic philosophy are extravagant or pernicious theories caused by philosophers running out of things to talk about (he calls these philosophers topic-starved). I also saw a book by Peter Unger that seems to make a similar argument, the blurb states "Peter Unger maintains that mainstream philosophy still offers hardly anything beyond concretely empty ideas", and it is similarly disparaging to post 1960s analytic philosophy. So what I would like to know is if these two criticisms, that point to a decline in philosophy, are symptomatic of a wider trend or simply coincidental? history-of-philosophy metaphilosophy analytic-philosophy scepticism Conifold Have you read the interview at Three Quarks Daily? 3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2014/06/…. He comes off sounding very arrogant. But if anyone should understand the short commings of contemporary (analytic) philosophy, it ought to be one of it's practitioners. – jimpliciter Feb 3 '16 at 23:06 @user259242 Take these grandiose pronouncements with a grain of salt :) In a similar vein Sokal and Brichmont accuse Deleuze of filling his works with sciency sounding nonsense to impress clueless intellectuals. – Conifold Feb 4 '16 at 1:02 @Conifold The difference being: Sokal was a physicist (actually not known for any scientific work, but for his eponymous 'hoax') who, judging from his writing, understood very little philosophy. Deleuze was a professor of philosophy, had written many books of philosophy, and was respected as a scholar and researcher of philosophy. So, their respective opinions of philosophy are not necessarily equal. Of course, I agree that all thoughts should be taken 'with a grain of salt'. – M. le Fou Feb 4 '16 at 2:41 @Conifold and to my mind does not constitute a serious philosophical criticism. Deleuze seemed to pay close attention to many fields of contemporary science during his life and this can be seen from the frequency with which such topcis appear in his work. The charge of being deliberately obscurantist in order to fool 'clueless intellectuals' could equally well be made of absolutely anybody. Why, I could say this of Sokal. What it doesn't do, is engage with the work it is criticising (an important part of any serious scholarship) in any meaningful way. – M. le Fou Feb 4 '16 at 2:59 @user259242 Sokal was not claiming to be a philosopher. He was arguing that some philosophers appear to misuse and misrepresent scientific concepts and terminology in an apparent effort to bamboozle the reader into thinking they are saying something profound. At my undergraduate level I am not familiar with Deleuze's work, but I am puzzled as to why anyone would continue to discredit logical positivism when it has been roundly dismissed by Godel and Russell almost a century ago. However, it's a valid question that you ask. – Nick Feb 4 '16 at 3:15 Good overviews of the more recent history of analytic philosophy are Burge's Philosophy of Language and Mind: 1950-1990 and Philosophy of Mind: 1950-2000 (ch.20), the philosophy of science side in a very lively and polemical form is described in Zammito's Nice Derangement of Epistemes, "the best history of post-positivist philosophy and sociology of science we are likely ever to get", according to Giere's review. That the linguistic turn has exhausted itself is generally shared. Burge writes: "The philosophy of language became a vibrant, semi-autonomous discipline in the 1960s and early 1970s. In fact, it was considered by many to be the new "first philosophy... But by the late 1970s or early 1980s philosophy of language no longer seemed the obvious propaedeutic for dealing with central philosophical problems. As I have intimated, one ground for this shift was that many philosophers felt that philosophy of language had done its job that the natural development of philosophical reasoning led into the philosophy of mind, or other adjacent areas". Zammito is even more critical of the impact of the linguistic turn on the philosophy of science, but he considers Quine's naturalized epistemology, cleared from his residual physicalism and behaviorism, a major positive advance. "The story begins with the crisis of logical positivism/empiricism in the 1950s sparked by Quine's rebellion. The linguistic turn prompted two further impulses: the "historicization of reason" and the "social construction of knowledge... The "marriage" of the history and the philosophy of science has been rocky, and some would say it has ended in divorce... The displacement of philosophy of science into philosophy of language (in which Quine and Kuhn both represent major stages) proves, upon a consideration of this narrative, to have been less than illuminating for science, suggesting that the linguistic turn here has quickly run into a dead end". Philosophies of mind and science remain vibrant. Sure, we do not live in the time of Kant and Hegel, but Unger's charge of "emptiness" targets Lewis, Putnam and Kripke. What about late Wittgenstein, Quine, Kuhn, Davidson, Dummett and Brandom, what about the Stanford Disunity Mafia (Nancy Cartwright, Hacking, Dupre, Suppes), the structuralist school in philosophy of science (Sellars, Sneed), or free will libertarians like Kane. In the wake of the linguistic turn there even emerged a new movement of duly humbled logical neo-neo-positivists, see their manifesto volume Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science. Quine's indeterminacy of translation fed into Kuhn's incommensurability of paradigms, that introduced history and social context into philosophy of science; Davidson gave one of the most penetrating analyses of mental vs. physical in recent times; Brandom launched an ambitious project of detailed grounding of semantics in communal practices. Dummett calls his project in Logical Basis of Metaphysics (1991) "anti-Wittgensteinian", and outlines the contours of post-linguistic analytic philosophy that directly addresses Unger's concerns: "The layman or non-professional expects philosophers to answer deep questions of great import for an understanding of the world... if philosophy does not aim at answering such questions, it is worth nothing. Yet he finds most writing by philosophers of the analytical school disconcertingly remote from these concerns. ...analytical philosophy passed, comparatively recently, through a destructive phase; a few, indeed, have not yet emerged from it. During that phase, it appeared as though demolition was the principal legitimate task of philosophy. Now most of us believe once more that philosophy has a constructive task... In recent years, a number of analytical philosophers, prominent among them the late Gareth Evans, have rejected the assumption of the priority of language over thought and have attempted to explain thought independently of its expression and then to found an account of language upon such a prior philosophical theory of thought". ConifoldConifold I haven't read Kuhn, Davidson, or Dummett, so I don't know if any of Unger's criticisms apply to them. From what I know of Quine it seems like he recognized the "emptiness" of linguistic analysis but thought the solution was to merge philosophy with science, for example the idea of naturalized epistemology, which critics then claimed was just psychology, so really would not be much different from an anti-philosophical position. – user20502 Feb 4 '16 at 2:50 @user20502 I added some on KDD. There is more to Quine than naturalized epistemology, and naturalized epistemology itself is a direct continuation of British empiricism (Locke, Berkeley, Mill, especially Hume), not to mention Kant and neo-Kantian influences. We'd have to dismiss half of modern Western tradition as empty. It is also a double edged sword, while removing the pretense that philosophy stands a priori in judgement of sciences, it also takes away the pretense that current science owns the once and future method of discovering the truth. – Conifold Feb 5 '16 at 1:35 This is a good answer. I would add that there's a broad and a narrow understanding of "analytic." Frege, Russell, Kripke et al define a narrow interpretation. Much of the rest of what you mention defines a broad interpretation under which it just means that philosophy concerns itself with carefully analyzing things in a way that's engaged with sciences, math and other areas of learning. – ChristopherE Apr 18 '16 at 22:43 The question asks whether the criticisms of Unger and Hacker that modern Philosophical theories are extravagant, pernicious or concretely empty. Despite the flag-waving patriotism for philosophy which is evidently popular, you haven't actually answered the question. What is is about Quine that allows his work to be defined as a "major advance"? What about Davidson's analysis is "penetrating"? What about Brandom's project is "ambitious"? You haven't advanced any evidence to prove these points, only that other philosophers "reckon" they are, yet this is the very problem; no concrete substance. – Isaacson Oct 29 '16 at 7:16 Judged solely by the standard of impact outside the academies, the last triumph of analytic philosophy was the elevation of formal logic to a legitimate science. On the other hand, the last continental philosophy to have real mainstream influence was French Existentialism, so if anything is in decline, it's philosophy as a whole. With all that said, a fallow period of a hundred years or so is hardly unique in the history of philosophy. It takes at least that long for the last great conceptual leap to be fully digested. Chris SunamiChris Sunami Great answer. There have always been 'dark ages', or 'desert periods'. Even from the beginning with the ancient Greeks, philosophy had rivals. I especially like the last remark. The philosopher is never heard during his time - he is as Nietzsche used to say, untimely, always untimely – M. le Fou Feb 5 '16 at 0:50 Hmmm. What about Popper's falsificationism (English 1961) or Kuhn's paradigms, or Austin's How to do things with words, or Rawls's Theory of Justice, or Singer's drowning child argument. There's a lot that's had a big impact outside philosophy. – ChristopherE Apr 18 '16 at 22:41 @ChristopherE Your comment seems worth expanding into its own answer. – Chris Sunami Apr 19 '16 at 13:25 Most contemporary philosophers of mind, if not all, are part of the analytic school: Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, John Searle, Jerry Fodor, David Rosenthal, etc...None of these guys could be considered irrelevant by any measure. In fact most critics of philosophy - of the general "philosophy is now useless" trend - like Lawrence Krauss, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, etc.. tend to single out questions of consciousness and the mind-body problem as the only remaining bastion of relevance in an otherwise obsolete field of inquiry. Alexander S KingAlexander S King The 'TV scientists' that you mention are charlatans and philistines, appearing on televised debates and talk shows to dazzle their mostly uneducated audience with jargon-laden proselytizing – M. le Fou Feb 5 '16 at 0:45 @M.leFou TV Scientist might apply to Dennett or Chalmers, but I doubt that Fodor or Rosenthal have any media presence to speak of. Dazzling the uneducated audience seems more of a continental thing anyway. – Alexander S King Feb 5 '16 at 4:32 I'm assuming you're referring to continental Europe. In which case, your statement is a non-sequitur. I almost don't want to ask you exactly what you think being from a particular country or part of the world has to with this. – M. le Fou Feb 7 '16 at 5:32 @M.leFou I was referring to the Continental style of doing philosophy as opposed to Analytic style of philosophy, both of which are European in origin. – Alexander S King Feb 7 '16 at 18:19 I think this rather supports the argument of Unger particularly, rather than undermines it. The significance of the philosophers you mention is that they are either experts themselves, or well-versed in, the actual science of cognition (whether that be human cognitive sciences or AI). To my mind this shows the decline of philosophy after the linguistic turn perfectly. Only by comprehensive reference to empirical fields are philosophers able to say anything of concrete substance. I think the linguistic turn can take some responsibility for that. – Isaacson Oct 29 '16 at 7:23 I think the reason why this debate remains unsolved (and will be impossible to solve) is in the essay itself mentioned in the question. Hacker writes "...what counts as achievement in philosophy is itself a moot philosophical issue of no small moment". The answers above all point to the fact that people have been doing lots of philosophy since the linguistic turn, but that's not really Hacker's point and certainly not Unger's, it's that the philosophy that's been done is uninteresting and of no consequence as it either trivial or impossible to realistically make progress with. He has made a fairly reasonable (though not definitive) definition of what "achievement in philosophy" should constitute and then made an argument from there that late analytic philosophy has failed in this task. By this argument, the mere fact of philosopher's doing philosophy is not a counter-argument. A successful counter-argument would consist either of a logical rejection of Unger's definition of achievement, or evidence of some concretely relevant thing that has been achieved, neither of which has been forwarded. If we define the goal of a football game to score points and the team playing for the last decade has failed to score any points, the fact that they are still playing does not counter the argument that they have achieved nothing. Conifold's answer I think, with no disrespect intended, highlights exactly what Unger is talking about. It is only able to counter the argument with statements by other philosophers regarding what they think (either of Unger or Wittgenstein, whom he follows), but Unger is not saying that no argument could be constructed against his, he's saying the exact opposite, that an argument could easily be constructed against his, more importantly that any argument could easily be constructed against any other. This, he argues, is what makes this kind of philosophy empty. In order to progress, philosophy has to first decide what its measurable goals are, otherwise it cannot decide if it has been successful, it must then ruthlessly sieve out any notions which can be resolved, or even progressed, by proper controlled scientific experiment, and avoid questions which show not hope of ever progressing to an experimentally verifiable conclusion. What remains has a right to be labelled a rational academic pursuit, the remainder, whilst tremendous fun, must, I think, be relegated to something more like a sport. IsaacsonIsaacson I'd strongly agree about goals. Other than paying the mortgage it's not clear to me that many pro philosophers have one. I feel that in order to progress it would only be necessary to abandon the philosophy that Unger finds so hopeless. The goal of philosophy, or the first necessary task, is surely to solve and understand metaphysics and to answer its questions rather than make excuses and hide behind sophistry. This would answer Unger's criticisms adequately. But the profession seems to have given up and settled for endless, well, like Unger I have to call it waffle. . – PeterJ Aug 14 '17 at 14:28 You question conflates all of philosophy under one heading. I'd agree with Unger as to the usefulness of contemporary university philosophy, footnotes to Plato and all that, but philosophy is alive and well elsewhere. If you look around you'll see that 'philosophobia' is in the rise, championed by the likes of Tyson and Dawkins. So yes, there is a growing recognition that university philosophy is hopeless. But this is a local problem and not a new one, a problem for the professors trapped in the Academy and not a problem for philosophy as a discipline. Hopefully it may lead to change and progress. It's about time. PeterJPeterJ In short, it'll depend on who you ask, but no. Reading Hacker's article feels not unlike listening to Patrick Bateman describe the greatest hits of the eighties - as if Russell were Phil Collins, Wittgenstein Huey Lewis and the Vienna Circle "...the News". If you haven't listened to it already, you might like this audio recording of the APA 'authors and critics' session from December 2006 between Peter Hacker, Max Bennet, Dan Dennett & John Searle. Also, I think Searle speaks directly to your concerns with this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1692709/pdf/10670025.pdf Particularly in his conclusion, I think he makes a very salient point to the contrary: "The history of philosophy, as it is described in the standard textbooks, is largely a history of the works of a number of towering geniuses. From Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, to Wittgenstein and Russell, the chief results of philosophy are in the works of its great figures. In that sense there simply are no towering geniuses alive today. This I believe, is not because we have less talent than our predecessors. On the contrary, I believe that, paradoxically, the reason why there are no recognized geniuses today is simply that there are more good philosophers alive now than there were in the past."

> Court Of Appeal Dismisses Core Strategy And Judicial Review Challenges Based On Reasonable Alternatives, Reasons, Error Of Fact, Interpretation Of Development Plan Policy, And The Meaning Of 'Playing Field' Court Of Appeal Dismisses Core Strategy And Judicial Review Challenges Based On Reasonable Alternatives, Reasons, Error Of Fact, Interpretation Of Development Plan Policy, And The Meaning Of 'Playing Field' In a unanimous ruling (though with split reasoning) the Court of Appeal [Moore-Bick, Beatson, and Briggs LJJ] handed down judgement on Tuesday dismissing a challenge to the grant of planning permission for a mixed use housing site and an associated Core Strategy challenge (see decision here). The decision will be of interest to those dealing with challenges to Core Strategy sustainability appraisals and the consideration of reasonable alternatives, as well as those who have had to grapple with the meaning of 'playing field' in planning matters. The Court held that: A land swap proposal (to bring an existing school from a constrained site onto a larger former school site now proposed for a housing allocation) was not a reasonable alternative for the purposes of a sustainability appraisal because it was not realistic: (inter alia) it lacked financial credibility; was a proposal of no interest to the owners of the former school site, and was based on a claim of viability which was unsupported by independent consultants. The meaning of 'playing field' is fact dependent calling for an exercise of judgment. The definition given in the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 is not definitive as that Order provides a wide definition for use as a catch-all in the regime for consultation. Chalfont St Peter Parish Council sought to challenge the grant of planning permission by Chiltern District Council to the Holy Cross Sisters Trustees Incorporated for mixed use development (including 198 dwellings), and the allocation of the site for housing. The site had been used as a convent and convent school until 2006 when the school had closed due to financial constraints. The Parish Council wanted the site to be used for a new Church of England school which it argued could be relocated from its existing site as part of a land swap. Chiltern District Council promoted the site through its Core Strategy as one of three strategic housing sites and, following examination, adopted its Core Strategy in November 2011. By that date the District Council had also granted outline planning permission for the development of the site. The Parish Council challenged the grant of permission in judicial review proceedings and the adoption of the allocation policy under s.113 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The challenge was dismissed by the High Court in 2013. In the Core Strategy appeal, the Parish Council argued that the District Council was under an obligation to consider the land swap as a reasonable alternative under the 2001 Directive and Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations, and that the Inspector's report contained inadequate reasoning on this issue. Although the Court noted that the threshold for identifying a reasonable alternative is a low one, on the facts the land swap was not a reasonable alternative in the sense of being a realistic and commercially sound and viable proposal. On the reasons challenge, it was held in the leading judgement of Beatson LJ (Briggs LJ agreeing) that the Inspector did just enough to explain his reasons adequately, despite the fact that the Parish Council's qualitative case for the land swap had not expressly been addressed, and in any event there was no substantial prejudice by any failure in the reasoning. Moore-Bick LJ considered the reasoning to be inadequate, but agreed that there was no prejudice caused. In the judicial review proceedings, it was argued that there was an error of fact as to the extent of the playing fields on the site which vitiated the decision to grant planning permission. Having applied the ordinary requirements for error of fact in E v SoSHD [2004] EWCA Civ 49, it was held that the extent of the playing fields to be lost was not uncontentious and objectively verifiable. In any event, it was noted that it had not been shown that there was a mistake of fact in this case. The District Council's planning committee had considered all of the information at the meeting in arriving at a determination as primary decision maker. It was also argued that the District Council's interpretation of its local plan policy – that it did not require a like-for-like replacement of a community facility – was incorrect as a matter of law. Applying Tesco Stores Ltd v Dundee CC [2012] UKSC 13, Beatson LJ held that the policy was framed in language whose application required an exercise of judgment, and that linguistic dissection of the text of the policy only went so far. The explanatory text and absence of prescriptive wording indicated that the decision maker was to be given flexibility as to how to meet changing community needs and that the policy was not concerned to achieve a like-for-like replacement facility. By contrast, Moore-Bick (with whom Briggs LJ agreed) felt obliged by Tesco v Dundee to provide a definitive interpretation of the policy. It meant that a community facility must be replaced by the same or broadly the same facility and the District Council had misinterpreted the policy. In other words, it would not be acceptable under the policy to replace a hospital with a completely different community facility such as a sewage plant or a library. However, there could have been no different outcome. Redevelopment of one kind or another was the only realistic option at the time of the decision so there was in reality no other community use to which the existing facility could be put. It should be noted that the grant of permission in this case was made in 2010. No such delays should take place in the future with the opening of the Planning Court.
