Two arrested after marijuana is found in taxi
3am burnin’ one in a taxi with 13.5 lbs? Way to blend in guys……….the defective illumination will getcha everytime…….smh….-UA
By Jenna Duncan, Globe Correspondent
Two men traveling in a taxi on Route 3 south in Hingham early this morning were arrested after police found a suitcase in the trunk containing 13½ pounds of marijuana, officials said.
At 3:11 a.m., troopers pulled over a taxi driver for defective illumination on the taxi’s rear license plate and changing lanes without signal, State Police said in a statement. When two troopers approached the car, they smelled the odor of burning marijuana coming from inside.
Christopher M. Barnes, 23, of Falmouth, and Charles E. Timbers, 27, of Watertown, were passengers in the taxi. They said they were traveling from South Station to Plymouth but appeared nervous, police said.
One of the troopers had his K9 partner Zander with him. After Zander alerted to the trunk of the car, the officers found a large suitcase “containing green vegetable matter believed to be marijuana.”
Barnes and Timbers are to be arraigned today in Hingham District Court, police said.

They shot the surveillance camera, but not in time to avoid a bust, feds say
The undercover FBI probe began in 2015, with agents launching an investigation of the “Brown Brother Hood” street gang based in Vallejo.
By the time the first criminal charges were filed Monday, the probe stretched to Sacramento and involved the purchase of numerous assault rifles, pistols and pounds of methamphetamine.
The feds finally swept in after the increasingly nervous suspects used a high-powered rifle with a scope two weeks ago to blast out a surveillance camera that had been planted on a pole outside a suspect’s home since May, court documents say.
The two men charged in the case made brief appearances in federal court Thursday and were ordered held pending further proceedings.
Sign Up and Save
Tony Acosta Alvarez faces charges of dealing firearms without a license, conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and distributing the drug.
His co-defendant, Lionel Ornelas, faces meth charges in the case.
The probe started as an investigation into the “BBH” street gang, which court documents say is tied to the Mexican Mafia and is responsible for slayings, robberies and drug and weapons sales in Solano County.
Over the past nine months, court documents say, a confidential source was able to purchase illegal firearms, ammunition and drugs from Alvarez and his associates, starting with an April 13 deal where the FBI’s source paid $1,000 to Alvarez for a pistol and $1,300 to another man for an M&P15 assault rifle.
The buy went down in the garage of Alvarez’ home on Basalt Drive in Vallejo, court papers say, and within weeks authorities had placed a surveillance camera on a pole near the home.
The buys continued, with the FBI source purchasing a 9 mm pistol for $700 in one deal, and buying another 9 mm and a .357-caliber pistol for a total of $1,200.
By Nov. 30, court papers say, the source had purchased another 18 assault-style rifles, handguns and magazines, as well as more than two pounds of suspected methamphetamine.
The origin of the various weapons is not disclosed on court documents, although they do say one was reported stolen out of Lake County and Alvarez is quoted as discussing “an individual who manufactures automatic assault-style long guns.” Such weapons, known commonly as “ghost guns” because they carry no serial number or other identifying features, have been the focus of a federal crackdown in recent years.
Alvarez moved to a Sacramento apartment on Center Parkway at some point over the summer, court records say, and continued working deals out of Vallejo.
But he apparently was becoming nervous about being detected, court papers say, checking the undersides of vehicles he drove.
“Surveillance units noted that it appeared as if Alvarez was looking for tracking devices,” according to an affidavit filed by Solano County sheriff’s Detective Coy Caulfield.
When he arrived near his old neighborhood in Vallejo on Nov. 30, Alvarez “appeared to be taking counter-surveillance measures while driving,” Caulfield’s affidavit says.
At about the same time, another man was seen standing near the driveway of Alvarez’ former home in Vallejo holding a rifle with a scope.
“The man aimed the rifle directly at the pole camera,” court papers say, then walked close enough to the camera with another man until they disappeared from view.
“Moments later, the pole camera’s lens appeared to be struck by a bullet, which created a small circular hole in the lens and small fractures,” the affidavit says.
Even with that damage, the camera continued to work until a man approached it again with a rifle.
“Then, it appears that the camera was shot multiple times, as the view from the lens became completely distorted,” the affidavit says.
The confidential source had planned to meet up with Alvarez that day to buy four assault rifles and four handguns, court papers say, but Alvarez did not call the source as planned.
After that incident, “the FBI decided to cancel the operation for safety reasons,” and the criminal complaint was filed in federal court in Sacramento.

Capital Steez: Underappreciated
Courtney Everald Dewar Jr., also known as Capital Steez, is one of the most underappreciated rappers of this generation, if not of all time. His amazing flow, lyrical prose and eye for purity is unbelievably underrated, and his circle of influence is comparable to some of the greatest of all time. He is known for his outward thinking and spiritual thoughts and beliefs. His political ideas also helped him gain a small following, but he never got to broadcast his views the way he wanted to. He was constantly overshadowed by his peers and he had trouble getting any exposure. As if this isn’t tragic enough, his unexpected suicide on Christmas Eve in 2013 ended what could’ve been an era. A Progressive Era.
Mural in Brooklyn, New York with condolences to Steez/ via flickr
Capital STEEZ started rapping when he was very young, but he didn’t try to turn it into a career until he turned 16, when he formed a group called The 3rd Kind with a friend. Later in high school, he and another producer formed a group called Pro Era, short for The Progressive Era. This group was also home to Brooklyn rappers Joey Bada$$ and Dirty Sanchez. This group grew, but it didn’t get any real attention until Steez and Joey released “Survival Tactics.” This song became almost an underground rap anthem, as their raw lyricism, crisp punchlines and fast paced flow really gained them some attention. Although Steez had the more lyrical verse, and was a better rapper overall, Joey got more national attention than he did. That same year, Steez released his album AmeriKKKanKorruption, which got very little play compared to Joey.
I went around Woodstock and asked some people if they knew who Steez was. They were all very similar. WHS freshman Trestan Parker said, “I don’t know who that is, like I’ve actually never heard of him and I listen to a lot of hip hop.” I also asked a few other students, who all said either, “Who is that?”, or, “I have no idea who that is”. This comes to show that even some hip hop fans don’t have a clue who he is, and that he is very underrated.
Some people credit Steez’s lack of popularity to his beliefs. His unorthodox stance on religion often was considered “weird” or “crazy.” He was obsessed with the number 47, as it represented perfect balance, and he believed he was an indigo child (someone that possesses supernatural traits). He also believed the world would end in 2047, and he would come back then and reveal himself as a god. People credited this to schizophrenia, drug use, and depression, but Steez believed all this to be true. This led to his suicide on December 24, 2012. He was 19 years old when he died jumping off a rooftop.Whether by coincidence or a deeper motive, the date 12/24/12 adds up to 47.
47, a common symbol associated with Pro Era and Capital Steez/via flickr
Steez deserves much more credit in the hip hop community. He started the Beast Coast movement, which is what inspired many Brooklyn/Flatbush rap artists to come out. His influence reaches to multiple genres and artists, such as A$AP Mob, Flatbush Zombies, and of course, Pro Era. He has also inspired many young emcees to practice a more lyrical style of rap versus a trap rap. His influence is recognized only by the people he has influenced personally, when everybody that calls themselves a hip hop fan should appreciate what Capital Steez brought to the rap game.

I can't stop LMAO about this interview! Poor Casey, it sounds like his storyline is pretty much non-existent. Ugh that we all have to put up with Abby and her golden hymen circle nonsense for a while yet.
As for James, what a cut-up. I do believe the man is an even bigger EJami fan than myself. I remember reading an interview once where he was asked if he could play any other role on Days what character would he choose and he chose Sami Brady lol. I think he's honestly fascinated by how irrational and impetuous Sami is. EJ has his going off the rails moments of course but for the most part he tends to be more methodical than Sami is. Maybe he just finds the idea of being bitchy to other characters liberating. And I'm thrilled he thinks EJ should be Prince Charming towards Sami and hell on wheels to everyone else. I'm so totally cool with that dynamic.

“Nam Prik Dang” is fun to say and I have no idea what it translates as, it must be something like “Awesome Sauce”. Thai flavors are my favorite of the all the Asian cuisines. I love the bright and sharp notes they like to bring out. This sauce works great with many things, I love it on fish, rice, or my finger. If you wonder how to make that tasty sauce they bring to your table at your local Thai restaurant here is one gringos take on it.
Nam Prik Dang
24 Thai red chili peppers, sliced thin. You can use green too if you like but red have a sweeter flavor.
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
2 T Brown Sugar
3 T Fish Sauce
4 T Fresh Lime Juice plus a little tiny bit of zest/
You can salt to taste but the Fish Sauce delivers the saltiness you need
Mix everything in your blender and throw it in the fridge until you need it.
OK, so maybe that isn’t your thing and you like the sweet chili sauce from the store or the kind more commonly found at fast food Asian restaurants. Try this!

Universities welcome the class of 2017
Most Geelong College students received
one of their top two university preferences this year.
The Geelong College VCE class of 2017 received university offers last week and we offer our congratulations to this outstanding group of students.
College principal Dr Peter Miller was excited to see the broad variety of pathways chosen by the 92 per cent of the cohort who received one of their top two preferences.
“These students excelled academically and personally across a huge range of learning experiences and used that knowledge to shape their goals for the next few years,” he said.
“While ATARs remain important, we see university offers as a true reflection of the success of our year, and to have 92 per cent of our 2017 cohort receive their first or second preference and more than 99 per cent of those who applied receive an offer is a great outcome.
“Student leadership, co-curricular achievements and breadth of experience are taken into consideration by universities when offering places, and our VCE program, as well as our careers advice, helps students to prepare for and make good choices about their future studies.”
More than 29 per cent of The Geelong College class of 2017 will attend Melbourne University, with Swinburne and Monash universities the next two most popular destinations for further study for this group who have had dedicated career planning advice regularly over the past four years.
“Our Careers team help students to understand their strengths and passions, and to find a pathway that interests them through regular counselling, testing and analysis,” Dr Miller said.
“The result is that most of our students receive their first preference because they have realistic expectations of what their results will be and are advised of any opportunities to increase the likelihood of acceptance. Careers education, we believe, is a key strength of the College.”
The 137 students who received university offers will go on to study a huge variety of courses with Science and Engineering degrees being the most popular. Significant numbers will also enter Arts, Agriculture, Design, Media and Communication and Medicine courses. A number of students have also been offered places at universities interstate including the Australian National University in Canberra, Western Sydney University, the University of Newcastle, Griffith University, Charles Sturt University, the University of Adelaide, Flinders University, the University of Tasmania, UNSW, University of Sydney, James Cook University, Bond University and the University of Western Australia.
“Once again our students are aspiring to work in a broad range of fields and to study further from home due, in part, to their broad learning experiences at The Geelong College,” Dr Miller said.
“We wish them our best as they embark on the next part of their learning journey and look forward to seeing them make a mark in their chosen field.”

Crossfit of Fremont

OVERHEAD SQUAT HELP
I've been coaching CrossFit for almost 6 years now. In that 6 years, I've seen a lot of overhead squats. It is an advanced movement, but not because it is technical. It is an advanced movement because it is something most of us have never done prior to starting CrossFit. Though CrossFit considers it a "functional movement," I don't find myself in life doing squats while holding things over my head.
For most people, flexibilty and the ability to comfortably hold a bar over your head while in a squat is the hardest part of performing an overhead squat well. I got a chance to have Lance Von Stade work on my "issues." I think his help will also help a lot of you out. Take a look at the following three videos.
Fixing your "issues" is never fun, but if you want to overhead squat better, you have to put in the work however uncomfortable it will make you. Seriously, I do this work before I go overhead and I immediately notice a huge difference.
Alonso has been getting stronger, hitting a rep of 2 cleans at 60kg. I might add that Alonso recently got 2nd at his track and field meet where he was competing against guys who were over 6 feet with a big stride!

Massage-loving bil lionaire Jeffrey Epstein owes $2 million to the law yers who represented 16 of his victims and has vio lated a deal with US prose cutors, according to a com plaint filed in Miami federal court on Monday. In 2007, Epstein agreed to plead guilty at the state level, reducing his poten tial jail time significantly, with various conditions — including paying victims’ legal fees. Any violation of the terms “allows the United States to elect to terminate the agreement and to investigate and prosecute Epstein . . . for any and all federal off enses.” Peter Prieto of Podhurst Orseck said his law firm represented 16 victims in the case. Epstein so far paid just $500,000 to cover their costs. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail for soliciting prosti tutes, but was released six months early. His lawyers did not return our e-mails or phone calls.

Conservative Media Are Trying To Blame Air Pollution Limits For Volkswagen's Emissions Scandal
In the wake of the Volkswagen emissions-rigging scandal, questions are being raised about the amount of influence automakers have over the enforcement -- or lack thereof -- of vehicle emissions standards. But rather than join in that conversation, conservative media are making excuses for Volkswagen's conduct and seeking to shift much of the blame to the Environmental Protection Agency and emission standards themselves.
Volkswagen Installed "Defeat Devices" In 11 Million Cars To Cheat During Emissions Tests. On September 18, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that Volkswagen had violated the Clean Air Act by installing software known as "defeat devices" in many of its diesel cars to evade federal emission limits. The software was designed to turn on emissions controls to allow the vehicles to meet mandatory standards during laboratory emissions testing, but not under normal driving conditions. According to Volkswagen, 11 million cars worldwide were equipped with the software. [EPA.gov, 9/18/15; TheNew York Times, 9/22/15]
Volkswagen Cars Emitted Up To 40 Times More Nitrogen Oxide Than Allowed Under Emission Standards. Testing by the EPA and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) found that Volkswagen diesel cars emitted up to 40 times more nitrogen oxide than is allowed by EPA standards under the Clean Air Act. As The New York Times reported, nitrogen oxide is "a pollutant that can contribute to respiratory problems including asthma, bronchitis and emphysema." [EPA.gov, accessed 9/24/15; The New York Times, 9/22/15]
Wall Street Journal Editorial Claims Defeat Devices Serve "Functional Purpose," Suggests VW Engaged In "Well-Known Regulatory Trade-Off" Rather Than "Great Deception." A Wall Street Journal editorial asserted that while EPA regulators "want to pretend that emissions regulations are a clean, free ride," defeat devices "serve a functional purpose, which is usually to increase performance and fuel efficiency." The editorial concluded: "VW deserves to pay for any intentional wrongdoing, but the rest of the industry and the country need to know whether this is the great deception that EPA alleges or the kind of well-known regulatory trade-off that is being harshly punished for the first time." [The Wall Street Journal, 9/23/15]
National Review: Temptation To Cheat Is Very Strong When It Comes To "Phony Moral Imperatives" Like Emission Standards. In a column headlined, "Realism on Emissions: Everybody Expects Everybody Else to Cheat," National Review correspondent Kevin D. Williamson wrote that while "Volkswagen's behavior in the emissions-rigging matter is awful, nefarious, and indefensible," cheating is to be expected, particularly "when it comes to phony moral imperatives" such as "American automotive emissions standards and their big brother, the worldwide global-warming crusade":
Humans cheat and, hence, human institutions cheat. In the matter of genuine corporate scandals (which are not rare but which are rarer than media-invention corporate scandals) you often will find that this is a matter of cold calculation. When cutting a certain corner provides savings in excess of what is likely to be extracted in fines or litigation should the scheme be discovered, then the temptation to cheat is strong. This is particularly true when it comes to phony moral imperatives, notable examples of which are American automotive emissions standards and their big brother, the worldwide global-warming crusade.
[...]
Both the developing-world attitude and the American conservative attitude assume a sort of prisoners' dilemma -- everybody expects everybody else to cheat, for good reason. Assuming that they have any powers of introspection, the Chinese expect the Chinese to cheat, too. If you think that the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist party of China is less likely to countenance the gaming of emissions inspections than is the compliance team at Volkswagen, you are in error. [National Review, 9/24/15]
CNBC's Joe Kernen: "I'm Glad The Journal Is Here" To Defend Volkswagen From "Knee-Jerk Liberal Reaction." Joe Kernen, the co-host of CNBC's Squawk Box, said he's "glad" The Wall Street Journal is taking Volkswagen's side "because The New York Times wants to send the executives to the gallows." Kernen, who admitted he was "not sure what exactly" The Journal editorial was saying, also asserted that there is a "weird charade going on between the EPA and automakers where they kind of looked the other way for years" because evading emissions standards "does boost horsepower and boosts torque and allows for better performance":
JOE KERNEN: [The Journal editorial board] point out that defeat devices that turn off the NO2 emissions -- that they've been around forever and that there's sort of this weird Kabuki dance going on. There's this weird charade going on between the EPA and automakers where they kind of looked the other way for years and maybe this isn't the first time that there was a wink and a nod in previous times when it was done because it does boost horsepower and boosts torque and allows for better performance. I'm not sure what exactly they're saying but seems like there's more to it.
[...]
KERNEN: I'm glad The Journal is here to do that, because The New York Times wants to send the executives to the gallows or walk the plank and actually maybe run them out of town, tarred and feathered, so at least you get both sides. It's nuanced, at least a little.
BECKY QUICK: The thing that bothers me with that is they're saying "If this happened." The company's already admitted that they've done it.
KERNEN: They have, but, but, there's a lot -- defeat devices --
ANDREW ROSS SORKIN: What is their defense?
KERNEN: It's hard to see one, but there's a lot of defeat devices over the last 50 years that they put in for a lot of different reasons.
[...]
KERNEN: The Journal will tell you that broken glass in a bag is fine, a fine toy for you -- but I'm glad there's someone there to do it, just not the knee-jerk liberal reaction. [CNBC, Squawk Box, 9/24/15]
Reason's Shikha Dalmia: "Aggressive Regulations" Are To Blame For Volkswagen's Deception. In a blog post for Reason.com, Reason Foundation senior analyst Shikha Dalmia faulted regulations -- not Volkswagen -- for the scandal, writing: "It's not the company's greed, but the bad incentives produced by aggressive regulations that are to blame." Dalmia also blamed the EPA in a column she wrote for The Week, which said: "The whole episode should call as much attention to the Environmental Protection Agency's unrealistic, even crazy, car emissions standards -- the toughest in the world -- as VW's flouting of them. Indeed, VW's scam might be a harbinger of things to come if the EPA itself is not curbed." [Reason.com, 9/24/15, The Week, 9/24/15]
Daily Mail Column: "Global Warming ZealotsAre To Blame" For VW Scandal. A column by Stephen Glover of The Daily Mail featured the headline: "It's an inconvenient truth, but the global warming zealots are to blame for the deadly diesel fiasco, writes STEPHEN GLOVER." In the column, Glover wrote: "Amid all the reporting of Volkswagen's rigging of emission tests on its diesel cars, one inconvenient truth has been overlooked by the BBC and many media organisations. It is that we very largely owe the prevalence of these death-traps to the pernicious tyranny of the Green lobby." Glover added that while "Volkswagen has emerged from this story as a devious and untrustworthy conglomerate," the "biggest lesson of this debacle" is that the British government had "caved in" to "[g]reens and climate-change zealots" by encouraging the proliferation of diesel vehicles. [The Daily Mail, 9/24/15]
Automobile Industry, Including Volkswagen, Has Long History Of Sidestepping Regulations
New York Times: Automobile Industry Has "Well-Known Record" Of Dodging Regulations. Following the revelations about Volkswagen's emissions manipulation, The New York Times reported that "the automobile industry, Volkswagen included, had a well-known record of sidestepping regulation and even duping regulators," with car companies finding "ways to rig mileage and emissions testing data" for several decades. [The New York Times, 9/23/15]
AutoWeek: Volkswagen Is A "Repeat Offender" In Using Defeat Devices.AutoWeek reported that the most recent defeat device revelation is not the first time Volkswagen has been accused of improperly using such devices. In 1974, "Volkswagen agreed to pay $120,000 to settle a complaint filed by the EPA that the company failed to properly disclose the existence of two devices that modified emissions controls on about 25,000 1973-model VWs, according to a Wall Street Journal report and an EPA press release about the case. The settlement included no admission of wrongdoing by VW, the Journal reported." [AutoWeek, 9/24/15]
Media And Industry Analysts Question Automakers' Role In Emissions Testing
In the United States, automakers conduct their own emissions tests and submit the results to the government. In Europe, automakers pick who conducts the tests and where they are done. And these two regulatory systems are considered the world's gold standards.
The Times added that in the U.S., "[i]ndependent testing has shown a widening gap between results in laboratories and the real world, raising suspicion." The article also quoted Dan Becker, director of the safe climate campaign at the Center for Auto Safety, as saying: "The automakers have proven that they're not trustworthy. ... The government has to overhaul the testing to make sure that independent parties ensure that the cars that are put on the road pollute less and are safe." [TheNew York Times, 9/24/15]
Vox's Brad Plumer: VW Scandal "Exposes Problems With Current Emission Tests." Brad Plumer of Vox wrote that the Volkswagen scandal "exposes problems with current emission tests" and highlighted numerous ways emissions tests are susceptible to cheating:
Part of the problem here is that regulators usually test these vehicles under laboratory conditions, placing them on giant treadmills and requiring them to do a series of maneuvers. Because this process is predictable, it's easier to game. Combined with the fact that automakers are developing ever-more-elaborate software that can control and fine-tune engines, there are ample opportunities for fraud.
[...]
Meanwhile, the VW scandal raises another issue surrounding car regulations, as Alex Davies explains at Wired. Modern-day cars feature complex computer systems and software. And, right now, this software is protected under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act -- it's illegal to fiddle with the software. The ostensible rationale is to make it harder for consumers to tamper with emissions controls. But these protections also make it harder for independent researchers to scrutinize that code and identify problems. Some experts have proposed DMCA exemptions to allow researchers to test and evaluate these engines, but so far automakers and the EPA have resisted this. Presumably, if those exemptions had existed, Volkswagen's deception might have been caught sooner. [Vox.com, 9/23/15]
Bloomberg View Editorial: Current Testing System "Is All Too Easy For Carmakers To Game." A Bloomberg View editorial also identified major issues with emissions testing in the U.S.:
As things work now in the U.S., carmakers test their own vehicles and send the results to the Environmental Protection Agency, whose engineers review them and, usually, apply a rubber stamp. The EPA allows manufacturers broad latitude in determining test conditions, an invitation to hanky-panky. The agency does some independent, random testing -- but on just 10 percent to 15 percent of new models. Only in rare cases does it test cars that have actually been driven off the lot.
The Bloomberg View editorial emphasized the necessity for "enact[ing] safeguards on a system that is all too easy for carmakers to game," adding: "For years, automakers have been able to exploit lax testing systems in the U.S. and Europe. Regulators owe it to both car buyers and the environment to make these systems more rigorous." [Bloomberg View, 9/23/15]

New service offers wireless data to European travelers for just $5 per day
Staying connected while traveling abroad is a painful endeavor, at best. Roaming with your U.S.-based wireless device can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and sourcing local handsets or foreign SIMs for an unlocked phone is often a hassle. Travelers heading to Europe now have a new option that could potentially keep them connected for a fraction of the price of more common solutions.
Smartphone and portable hotspot rental service Tep Wireless on Wednesday announced the launch of a new portable data option for the European market. With service in 38 countries across the region, Tep is now offering a portable Wi-Fi hotspot and 1GB of data for just $5 per day.
Any smartphone, tablet or laptop can connect to Tep’s hotspot, and additional data is priced at $55 for 1.4GB or $95 for 4GB. The service isn’t cheap by any means, but Tep could save travelers a substantial amount of money compared to similar carrier options.
“I travel across Europe regularly, and I got fed up with not having a good data service on the go,” Tep Wireless founder Tomas Mendoza said. “This is why we have developed the multi-country plan, it means that you can go anywhere you like and not lose access to your email, social networks and the web as a whole.”
Travel in 38 countries and stay connected with a single device and data-plan
London 11 July 12 Tep Wireless (www.tepwireless.com) today announce their new expanded service for traveling within Europe. This is great news for travelers who are looking to stay connected 24/7, wherever they travel in Europe with minimal expense and maximum data allowances.
Tep’s first-of-its-kind multi-country service alleviates connectivity concerns for business travelers and tourists alike meaning you can now get on a train in London and travel all the way to Vienna without losing connectivity or swapping your sim along the way.
The data package is aimed at heavy users who require an always-on connection wherever they travel. Pricing starts at just $5 per day with 1GB of data provided. Extra data can be bolted on as you need it, meaning flexibility in what you download, as well as where.
The system operates real-time notifications and auto top-up. If selected, a user’s data allowance will automatically be increased and their account charged.
Even with the latest roaming price decreases by Verizon and AT&T, a trip to Europe can land travellers a bill of several hundred dollars at least, not to mention the planning that has to go in to ensuring that your devices can connect in multiple locations and countries.*
Companies like Tep are arming travelers with simple, always on connectivity while away from home. Their increased service throughout the EU now makes it even easier to ensure that you are equipped to connect in any of 38 European countries without the need to change sim-card or device.
“I travel across Europe regularly, and I got fed up with not having a good data service on the go. This is why we have developed the multi-country plan, it means that you can go anywhere you like and not lose access to your email, social networks and the web as a whole” says Tomas Mendoza, founder of Tep Wireless.

Lego rebuilds its business model amid falling sales
After rebounding from near bankruptcy to achieve record sales by adding new toys, online content, and film franchises, Lego looks to simplify. With a new CEO, the company will eliminate 1,400 jobs in an effort to jumpstart growth.

Copenhagen, Denmark—For Lego, it's time to break down the blocks and start again.
After building up sales aggressively since a near bankruptcy in 2004 through new ventures like films and new toy lines, the company seems to have hit a peak. Its sales are now falling for the first time in 13 years and it says it needs to simplify its operations.
That means cutting 1,400 jobs, or eight percent of its global workforce.
The privately held Danish firm said Tuesday that it "now prepares to reset the company," with a new CEO due to take over in October.
"We will build a smaller and less complex organization than we have today, which will simplify our business model in order to reach more children," said Chairman Joergen Vig Knudstorp.
Revenue dropped 5 percent in the first six months of the year, to 14.9 billion kroner ($2.4 billion), mainly as a result of weaker demand in key markets like the United States and Europe, where sales had risen strongly for years. Profits slipped 3 percent to 3.4 billion kroner ($544 million).
Classic toy lines, such as "Lego City," did well, as did products associated with "The Lego Batman Movie."
But revenue in other lines did not do as well, with investments in some new products not yielding the desired benefits.
Analysts said that while the revenue drop was disappointing, it had to come at some point after years of growth.
"You hit a peak," said Jim Silver, the CEO and editor in chief of toy review site TTPM. "Nothing keeps going up like that."
Silver said the company grew rapidly as it launched new products, such as its Lego Friends line aimed at girls. "The Lego Movie," which was released three years ago, helped, too.
Looking ahead, Silver said Lego has some bright spots: Its "Star Wars" sets are selling well. And a September movie based on its "Ninjago" line could have kids asking for Legos.
But the traditional toy industry is as a whole coming off a strong few years driven by innovation and a boom in interest in collectibles.
Vig Knudstorp said the long-term aim is to get sales growing again in Europe and the US and noted opportunities "in growing markets such as China," where sales were up by double digits so far this year.
The company, he said, needs to simplify its business model to reduce costs. Especially since 2012, the group has been adding new businesses as it embarked on ventures like films.
"We have added complexity into the organization which now in turn makes it harder for us to grow further," Vig Knudstorp said.
He said that while Lego will try to engage kids and parents through online products, such as digital social platforms and coding sets, the physical plastic toy blocks remain the focus.
"The brick is the heart of our business," Vig Knudstorp said.
He told Denmark's TV2 station that staff cuts would mainly affect administration and sales, not production.
Last month, the maker of the famous colored building blocks appointed Niels B. Christiansen, who headed thermostat-maker Danfoss for nine years, as its chief executive to replace interim CEO Bali Padda. Christiansen will start Oct. 1.

Philadelphia is the home of the world’s only collective, multi-artist bodypainting gallery, Gallery ML. We were pleased to be welcomed as featured artists for the Grand Re-opening launch of their spacious new digs in Old Town, Philly. We stayed a full week, painting in-residence for some pre-arranged photoshoots for the Gallery as well as a fashion show put on by Philly RAW Artists. We even managed to sneak off for a bit in the “city of brotherly parking tickets”, to enjoy the grandeur of the Philadelphia Art Museum and swoon over a sundae at The Franklin Fountain!

With the upcoming release of The Wind Waker HD, it was only natural to reveal a The Legend of Zelda character. (i do so love to say "a the")Unfortunately, it's one that severely gimps another cast member.
Ever since Melee, Link has been a slow, laggy-ass pizza. A PIZZA SHITThis is due to the presence of a second, smaller, faster Link. In Melee, it was a young version of Link from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. In Brawl, it was the cel-shaded version of Link from The Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, and countless other handheld titles.
Now, I get it. Link has gone through a lot of incarnations, and Toon Link is very important to the series. But fucking hell, Sakurai. At least give them unique movesets.How about this:Link retains his bow, gale boomerang, spin attack, and bombs. Toon Link gets Roc's Feather, pegasus boots, the skull hammer, and the mirror shield. This separates their movesets and gives them both uses. Unlike now, where Toon Link is the only decent one.http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/toon_link.html
I still really want a Mario/Sanic crossover platform game. Miyamoto says their styles are "too different", but how about this:Mario and Luigi do Mario Bros. shit in Sanic-themed levels that are actually tailored to their abilities. They'd be in a different area of famous Sanic levels, like Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, City Escape, Pumpkin Hill (complete with a new rap about fucking LUIGI), Seaside Hill, Rooftop Run, etc.Sanic and Tails do Team Sanic shit in Mario-themed levels that are actually tailored to their abilities. They'd be in a different area of famous Mario levels, like world 1-1, Bowser's Castle, Whomp's Fortress, Bob-omb Battlefield, Delfino Plaza, Ricco Harbour, Good Egg Galaxy, etc.
This way, you could still play to the strengths of the different characters, while having them interact with eachother's enemies and worlds. Mario and Luigi can save Peach from Dr. Robotnik, and Sanic and Tails can save Amy or whoever from Bowser.
Pit is slicing Samus's missile in half. This, of course, is exactly what Samus needed to not be shit.If you don't believe me, here is what Sakurai himself says about the picture:"Pic of the day. If it's just a missile, a sword can slice it right up. Of course, you could also just use your bare hands."
Male Wii Fit Lady is present, meaning one of the following:A: He is a new character (without his own slot on the website, this is unlikely)B: He is an assist trophyC: He is an alternate outfit for Wii Fit Lady

Volleyball Moves Into Five-Match Homestand With 3-0 Sweep Of Brown
The Princeton volleyball team rebounded from its first Ivy League loss in style Saturday, sweeping Brown 3-0 to move to 6-1 in Ivy play. At worst, the Tigers will be one match back of Yale, though the Bulldogs have a tough home match with Penn Saturday evening.
Senior Lydia Rudnick recorded 17 kills and eight digs for the Tigers, which claimed a 25-17, 25-20, 25-14 victory over Brown. Junior middle Leah Jordan had one of her best efforts on the season with 12 kills in only 15 swings for a .733 attack percentage. Fellow middle Tiana Woolridge was also dominant, recording eight kills with only one error, while also leading the defense with five blocks.
Sophomore setter Ginny Willis had 42 assists for Princeton and led the team to a .290 attack percentage, while freshman libero Sarah Daschbach had a team-best 22 digs. Juniors Sydney Brombal (10) and Chelsea Parker (11) also aided the defense with double-digit dig efforts.
Now at the midway point of the Ivy League season, Princeton can look at a crucial five-match homestand. That run begins Friday night at Dillon Gym when the Tigers host Penn at 7 pm. Princeton rallied from a 2-1 deficit to defeat Penn at the Palestra in the Ivy League opener.

Blooming Thanks by Sue McRae
04/07/2016
Hi everyone, Sue here with a water coloured floral thank you card.
I started off by using my Luxe Background die to emboss a piece of water color paper (just use your embossing rubber mat betweem the clear plates so the die doesn't cut through the paper) and then water coloured with some paints in different shades of blue.
I die cut the Hampstead Corner (twice, because I only used the flowers) and the Monterey Vine out of water colour paper and used paints on these as well.
The sentiment was stamped in black onto vellum, clear embossed and wrapped around the corner of the background piece.
I finished by adding some gems and a bit of Wink of Stella to the flowers.

I’m not jaded enough yet not to think that the second Trump tried to fire Mueller, he gets appointed independent council by the Senate and this out of Trump’s orbit. If that doesn’t happen, there will be armed conflict.

Bengaluru: Global investment firm Blackstone Group Lp’s India subsidiary Nexus Malls is set to launch its first shopping mall in the country in Seawoods, Navi Mumbai, expanding its retail portfolio.
Blackstone had bought about 1 million sq. ft of retail space in the Seawoods Grand Central Mall in 2016 from L&T Realty Ltd for Rs1,450 crore.
Nexus Malls was set up in June 2016 to own and manage shopping malls in the country. Typically, Blackstone buys out malls, which are then owned and run by Nexus. It has so far bought three other operational malls—Ahmedabad One (earlier known as AlphaOne Ahmedabad) and Mall of Amritsar (earlier AlphaOne Amritsar) from realty firm Alpha Corp., and a 50% stake in Westend Mall in Pune.
The Seawoods Grand Central Mall will be Nexus’s first new mall development, and with this, Blackstone now has 2.8 million sq. ft of shopping mall space in the country.
“The idea is to do a soft launch in the end of the month where we are opening the mall for customers with around 80 brands and then scale up activity, by adding up to 160 brands in next couple of months,” said Nirzar Jain, senior vice-president, operations, Nexus Malls.
The mall is part of a transit-oriented development project built around the Seawoods-Darave railway station. L&T Realty also has 4 million sq.ft of office space coming up as part of a 40-acre project in the area.
About 800,000 sq. ft of retail space in the Seawoods mall will be launched in the first phase, with 200,000 sq. ft or so coming later.
Globally, Blackstone has about 80 million sq. ft of retail assets currently under ownership. The New York-based firm has invested about $2.7 billion in real estate projects in India across 19 transactions and manages the largest portfolio of office parks in India. The company has been building its footprint in the mall space in the last two years, in many ways replicating what it has already done in the office segment.
Although Blackstone has been purchasing office assets since 2010-2011, it started buying retail assets such as shopping malls only in the last couple of years.
In the other three malls that Nexus operates, it has “enhanced” the assets in several ways, Jain said.
“The process may include adding more retail brands to increase the destination value, relocating anchor (store) spaces, changing food court location and of course to increase profitability,” he said.
In the Ahmedabad mall, for instance, it will add 140,000 sq. ft of additional retail space in the “bridge to luxury segment” to the existing 720,000 sq. ft mall.
After office space, investors are now looking to buy shopping malls. As many as 26 malls are scheduled to become operational this year in what will be the highest supply of shopping space in more than five years in the country. The southern cities of Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru will see the largest chunk of the total of 10.86 million sq. ft of shopping space, with as many as eight malls opening in Hyderabad, according to estimates by property advisory Cushman and Wakefield.
Among the malls scheduled to open in 2017, the Seawoods mall and Virtuous Retail mall in Chennai are the largest.
“Well-located malls are definitely going to do well, mainly due to rising consumption, limited supply of good quality malls and customers again moving to malls for shopping,” said Pankaj Renjhen, managing director, retail services, JLL India.

Presqu'ile Named Best Rosé in California
"I think this 2015 Presqu'ile is the best rosé in California. It's refrigerated sunlight. Salty sea spray. Asian spices. Strawberry stardust. Flashing minerality. While most good rosés are delicious, the Presqu'ile is something wholly more: delicious, sophisticated, and capable of exciting your mind as much as your palate. 92 points."- Karen MacNeil, WineSpeed, May 27,2016

Whole 30 Review + Recipe
July 7, 2016
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey guys! My apologies for the lack of posts! I’ve been spending lots of time traveling and savoring every moment of this summer. It’s been a few weeks since I finished the Whole 30 and I wanted to share my experience with you. This was a pretty life changing experience for me as I learned just how much what we consume affects our well being.
Lessons learned:
– meal planning is crucial to be successful in this program
– even so called “healthy” food choices still have added sugar in them
– avoid going out to eat but if you do, be sure to call ahead and check out menu options to avoid a scene at the restaurant
– carefully and thoroughly check your food labels…then check them again
– be cautious where you get your Whole 30 recipes and compliant food lists from; there’s a lot of conflicting information out there but when in doubt about compliance, just pass on that item
– dairy is very harmful to your body
– giving up alcohol was refreshing and it’s nice not waking up with a hangover
– you will spend more money on compliant foods but once you have your kitchen staples your grocery spending will stabilize
– if you go on vacation, plan on going grocery shopping
– it’s much easier to do the program with someone especially with your partner and it’s a great bonding experience
Benefits I experienced:
– clearer skin
– less moody
– consistent energy levels
– less cravings
– weight loss
– more sound sleep (I still had a tough time falling asleep which was a problem before Whole 30)
Post Whole 30 has been tough due to vacations and celebrations. I have let myself indulge a little too much (this past weekend I ate a Belgian waffle ice cream sandwich everyday) and man can I feel it in my body. Eating non-compliant food makes me feel hung-over, tired, and cranky so I am going to try to stick to mostly Whole 30 meals when I can. However, I do realize that life happens and I am trying not to be too hard on myself while still holding myself accountable for my food choices. This breakfast recipe is something that I ate my entire Whole 30 and continue to do so. It’s simple, delicious, and compliant.
Recipe:
Banana
Unsweetened coconut flakes
Almond butter (no salt)
Simply cut the banana into slices and top with almond butter and coconut flakes.

With so many new food stops in the works, it’s bound to affect some of the established eateries around the park. In fact, we’ve already begun to see hints of change starting at Tamu Tamu Refreshments.
Tamu Tamu Refreshments
You see, it’s located in the village of Harambe in Animal Kingdom’s Africa, so it’s just across the way from where the Market will be.
Location of Tamu Tamu in Animal Kingdom’s Africa
Since the Harambe Market will have a whole slew of new entrees to choose from, the menu at Tamu Tamu just switched over to focus entirely on desserts and drinks as opposed to its previous entrees like curry dishes and the Pulled Beef Sandwich.
Lucky me, I had a group of friends visiting Animal Kingdom who offered to try them ALL!
Taste-Testers!!
Or perhaps I should say, “Lucky THEM,” because altogether there are FIVE desserts on the menu!
All-new Tamu Tamu menu
While the Pineapple Whip Soft-serve (with Dark or Coconut Rum) has been available since last May, the Chocolate Waffle with Espresso Mousse, Double Chocolate-Chip Ice Cream Sandwich, Mickey Ice Cream Chocolate Cookie Sundae, and Chocolate-covered Espresso Beans are all BRAND NEW to Tamu Tamu!
Tamu Tamu desserts
Let’s take them one by one, starting with the Chocolate Waffle topped with an Espresso Mousse.
Today, we finally get to sample even more of the menu from Epcot’s brand new eatery, Spice Road Table!
Located right on the water in the Morocco Pavilion within World Showcase, Epcot’s newest restaurant offers small plates and an interesting wine list featuring bottles from throughout the Mediterranean region.
Last week, we gave you a sneak peek at the inside of the Spice Road Table, as well as the new shops and Juice Bar! In addition, we had the opportunity to taste several of the desserts that are featured here, and we’re loving everything we’ve sampled so far!
Menu Cover
Today, we’re going more in depth and giving you a look at several menu items that we enjoyed throughout the weekend, as DFB staff have been busy sampling many of the goods and snapping pics of everything!

We’ve been eating our little hearts out at Epcot’s newest tapas restaurant and we can’t wait to tell you all about it!
Our review will be broken into a few parts, since there’s SO much to share!
Spice Road Table will be soft opening on Saturday for the public (a grand opening has not yet been scheduled), and we want to hear what you think! The tapas-only restaurant features small plates (which means you can order a LOT!) as well as specialty drinks, a full bar, wines, beers, and more.
There’s even some chef-crafted ice cream (we got to try all five flavors!!) — scroll down to see our review and some fun pics!
But first, let’s take a look around…
Spice Road Table View from the water
Here you’ll see pictures of the new Juice Bar, the outdoor seating at the restaurant, and even the indoor decor! It’s gorgeous!! We can’t wait for you to check it out!
Atmosphere
Spice Road Table, Epcot’s newest restaurant taking up residence on the shores of World Showcase Lagoon in the Morocco Pavilion, will surely be a destination for many Disney food lovers like me!
The space combines 60 indoor seats and 120 outdoor seats, so guests will be comfortable no matter the weather. Now, let’s take a peek INSIDE the restaurant!
Spice Road Table Indoor Seating
As you can see, the space inside is small, but well appointed. There is a view of the water from every single table through the giant wall of windows looking onto World Showcase Lagoon.
Yep — this will absolutely be a hot ticket for the fireworks!
Spice Road Table Decor Indoors
Decor elements include bright colors, plenty of Moroccan additions, and some truly gorgeous lamps and lanterns.
Spice Road Table Indoor Lanterns
But, of course, the main draw is the view!! I’m looking forward to sitting at this table soon!
We’ve watched the progress with eager eyes and can’t wait to try out the new spot, which we KNOW will be a great location for catching the IllumiNations fireworks!
Spice Road Table from across the Lagoon
Here’s a little photo tour of the new location, straight from Epcot today! You can see that construction walls are still up, so Disney’s going to be burning the midnight oil for the next two days getting this spot up and running… .

California Grill is expected to start taking reservations within the next few weeks for its end of August opening. But right now, in an off-site kitchen, California Grill Chef Brian Piasecki is creating delicious new dishes!
In our earlier post, I reviewed thethree-meat meatballs — a new addition to the appetizer menu at the restaurant. They were delicious…
Oak-Fired Three Meat Meatball.
“We’re really trying to think of creative new ways to use our wood-fired oven,” says Piasecki. Those meatballs are one way, with pork, lamb, and veal spiced with house-made harissa.
An oaky, crispy crust makes them perfect for dredging in Meyer-lemon-scented chimichurri with a side of marinated picholine olives and a little orzo. “Perfect for sharing,” says Piasecki.

Sourcing as much as possible locally is a priority for Piasecki. The Cape Canaveral prawns are a great example. He roasts them head on in the wood-fired oven and serves with oven-roasted tomatoes, charred lemon, and a handful of peppery baby arugula. (And he’s using the shells to make prawn oil.)

You all know how much I LURVE Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village (BUTTER CHICKEN!!!). And I’m excited to share that there have been some interesting changes made to the lunch offerings since our recent Sanaa lunch review.
In fact, it’s the most dramatic menu makeover since the restaurant opened.
Let’s take a look at what’s been updated…
Bread Service
The Sanaa bread service has been a major fan favorite for years. Basically, you’ve always been able to get a choice of three breads (including the gorgeous and buttery Naan bread) and three accompaniments for $8.99.
A Few Bread Service Choices -- Naan - Onion Kulcha - Paneer Paratha
Now, Sanaa diners can pay an additional $2 to receive all nine accompaniments with the bread service! Just two bucks and NO MORE CHOOSING!
Bread Service Menu.
You’ll get all those delicious sauces and chutneys for $10.99! Seriously good deal.
All nine bread service accompaniments!
Appetizers and Salad Sampler
NOW, instead of samosas, lamb kefta kabobs, and roasted cauliflower, it features samosas, lamb kefta sliders, and a choice of Seasonal Soup or Chana Tikki (a new appetizer described as Spiced Chickpea Cakes with Tomato Chutney).
Appetizers and Salad Sampler.
The Lamb Kefta Sliders have replaced the former kabobs, and a seasonal soup is now a regular feature on the menu.
Never fear, the totally awesome Tomato Soup with Paneer Cheese is still there!
Tomato Soup with Paneer Cheese is safe on the menu!
Two new salads have appeared on the salad sampler – Kachumbari (didn’t get a detailed description, the Cast are still getting used to everything, too) and Mango salad. These replace the Golden Lentils and Tomato Salad, and the Roasted Beets salad.
Slow-cooked in Gravy
Another menu change Julie got to sample personally was the different variety of “Slow-cooked in Gravy.” She says:
And here’s the latest — new menu items are being added the first week of March, including hand-tossed salads, handcrafted wraps, and Artisan soups…and the HOLIDAY SANDWICH will now be offered year round!!
“Earl of Sandwich is known for the World’s Greatest Hot Sandwich. We now have great wraps, salads, and soups to match”, says Steve Heeley, President & CEO of Orlando based Earl of Sandwich.
Wrapped Earl of Sandwich...sandwich!
The Full Montague is a fan favorite at Earl of Sandwich
Yep — there’ll be a lot more to choose from the next time you head over to Earl!
New Earl of Sandwich Menu Options
Healthful options for on-the-go dining is just one reason that Earl of Sandwich is so popular! Let’s check out the new items!
We’ve got some interesting news about a few menu updates at guest favorite restaurant, ‘Ohana.
According to a server, changes were made to the menu here about a month ago with the posted menu outside of the restaurant still showing the old menu items. Let’s take a look at what’s been updated with this menu-go-round.
‘Ohana Salad Dressing Update
The fan-favorite honey lime dressing has been a stand-out at ‘Ohana as well as a much requested recipe, however it did not make the latest menu cut. Here’s Leslie’s take:
The new salad features a passion fruit vinaigrette with chunks of passion fruit and mandarin oranges. I don’t eat salad, but my husband said the salad was just OK. He really liked the old honey lime dressing. In fact, he usually eats the whole bowl of salad himself, but left about half of it this time.
New Salad at 'Ohana
DFB reader Anne T. also wrote to let us know about the change. She feels similarly about the new dressing: “The new dressing is still good, but not as good as the honey lime,” she says.
‘Ohana Stir-Fried Veggie Update
The vegetable dish has changed as well with this recent menu update. Here’s what Leslie discovered: [Read more…]

There is no greater honor than to be acknowledged by the patient community,” stated Dr. Patrick McCarthy.
Chicago, Ill. (PRWEB)January 03, 2013
HeartValveSurgery.com, the largest online resource and community of patients with heart valve disease, announced today that Dr. Patrick McCarthy has been named its current ‘Featured Heart Valve Surgeon’.
During his 23-year career, Dr. McCarthy, who is the chief of Cardiac Surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the director of the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, has performed over 10,000 cardiac procedures including more than 4,000 successful valve operations. In addition to being a medical device inventor, Dr. McCarthy has authored or co-authored more than 350 peer articles and 50 book chapters.
“With over thirty patient testimonials, Dr. McCarthy is the most recommended heart valve surgeon in our global database,” stated Adam Pick, founder of HeartValveSurgery.com. “It’s a privilege to celebrate this world renown surgeon who has contributed so much to valvular therapy. Many patients from our community – including James Fisch, Stella Pett and Beldon Rich -- have had excellent surgical results thanks to this dedicated surgeon.”
Beldon Rich, a 91-year-old mitral valve repair patient, recently stated, "Dr. Patrick McCarthy was truly a great inspiration. While others turned me down, Dr. McCarthy gave me hope. It has been four weeks since my operation and I am doing very well. Dr. McCarthy and the staff at Northwestern treated me with great care and respect. I would recommend Dr. McCarthy to anyone who needs this type of surgery."
With this announcement, Dr. McCarthy joins an elite group of surgeons who have received ‘Featured Heart Valve Surgeon’ status at HeartValveSurgery.com. To celebrate Dr. McCarthy, the website will highlight his accomplishments across its interactive platform which includes a surgeon finder, a heart valve clinic directory, educational videos, an interactive blog and a social network.
“There is no greater honor than to be acknowledged by the patient community,” stated Dr. McCarthy. “I happily share this honor with the entire team of extraordinary medical professionals at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute.”

Biography
Leavanny first appeared as a Sewaddle in BW018, when Ash and his friends were travelling through Pinwheel Forest. Ash attempted to capture Sewaddle after it attacked Pikachu, but Sewaddle ran away before he could. Sewaddle knocked Ash to the ground when the gang met Burgh. It was then revealed that Burgh was accompanying Sewaddle through the forest.
Sewaddle initially disliked Ash, but came to like him once Ash protected him from an Air Slash. Sewaddle then teamed up with Pikachu to launch a Thunderbolt-Razor Leaf combo in order to scare away the Woobat. Later, Sewaddle got stuck to a wild Deerling and thrown into a river. Ash dove in to save him and the two were resuced by Burgh's Leavanny. Sewaddle was extremely grateful to Ash and allowed him to capture it. Due to the fact that Ash already had six Pokémon on his team, Sewaddle's Poké Ball sealed itself. In order to make room for Sewaddle, Ash sent Pidove to Professor Juniper's lab.
In BW019, Ash wanted to meet with a Pokémon Connoisseur so they could determine how compatible he and Sewaddle were. He showed it to Burgundy, a C-Class Connoisseur. She said that Sewaddle's ability was Swarm, however she believed that Ash should have a Sewaddle with Chlorophyll and told him he had to replace it. Sewaddle then proceeded to use String Shot on her in anger.
In BW108: Strong Strategy Steals the Show!, Ash used Leavanny to battle against Stephan's Sawk. Despite that Sawk's attacks did barely enough damage, Leavanny's ability Swarm had got activated boosting its Bug Type moves like String Shot and X-Scissor, but was taken down by Sawk's Karate Chop.

free lottery UK
Free Lottery UK Games
In any discussion of free lottery UK options and the various issues regarding this possibility, it would be wise to remember the old adage and sage advice given regarding so many money-related issues; if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is. Too good to be true.
There are many internet and online scams and cheats happening with regard to free lottery UK, and any winnings derived from this, as well as the notifications thereof. Any lottery players wanting to play lotteries and to bet online should start off by making sure that the selected casino, or lotto site is a trusted, gold standard online gambling or lottery platform. The software and security used on these sites will have been fully approved by the relevant Gaming Control Commissions and online lottery sites licensed in the major jurisdictions that apply.
Making Sure of Eligibility
The next piece of advice regarding the touchy subject of free lottery UK, is that unless someone has actually bought a ticket, one cannot have won a prize. There are no such things as ‘email’ draws or address winning lotteries where ‘no tickets were sold’. Unfortunately the residual hope and desire for large volumes of money is so strong that people are prepared to overlook rational thought in the optimistic craving for becoming the next millionaire.
General casino gambling games are regularly provided free, and free items online are becoming an almost expected norm. In the casino context, these free no download versions are excellent for practicing and to experience the atmosphere and nuances of the casino site before committing and signing up. However, the intention here is to play the games for fun, and not expect winnings, and this is often confused with free lotto, which is not a game to play for the fun; it is pure lucky draw with the intention of winning high volumes of money at a low initial stake.
Free Lottery Options
Players need to realise the potential hazards regarding free lottery UK, and the negative aspects related to this practice. The reality is that free lotto is actually theoretically available, and often provided as a reward for some form of service, form filled in or some sort of action. This is understandable, and the reward of free lottery UK play can be considered a form of payment for these services rendered. On the other hand, some free lottery UK sites generate income from the advertising placed on their site, and thereby are able to fund lotto ticket purchases for their members. Players wishing to indulge in free lottery UK play, yet expecting to win copious quantities of money, will need to sign up with the site concerned and be subject to their terms and conditions. These should, of course, be scrutinized very carefully. A brief outline follows regarding how to avoid the multitude of scams and fraudulent issues that arise from this overwhelming human urge to get something for nothing.
The Bottom Line
Honest free lottery UK sites will never charge members, ask them to send in money, or require payment in order to claim a prize. Any players receiving emails or SMS messages claiming to represent the site should know that the authors of such emails are misappropriating the sites’ name and logo in order to scam players. Reputable free online lotto sites will not be using a free email address under any circumstances but will communicate only via their established email account, and will never request personal or banking information via email.

Lol, that's all I drew long time ago. I was thinking of re-making this (again and again *echoes*) but I think this one is better than the other stories that I kept re-drawing since they're kind of in character ^^'>
I'll just continue again from here, and I don't think the style is the same as these few pages.

How to Turn on HTTPS for your blog
HTTPS availability is now available to blogger blogs.. Although for bloggers using a custom domain wont be able to use this feature on their blogs.
Lets start by understanding What is HTTPS and how does it work?
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an internet communication protocol that protects the integrity and confidentiality of your users’ data between the user’s computer and the site.
For example, when a user enters data into a form on your site in order to subscribe to updates or purchase a product, HTTPS protects that user’s personal information between the user and the site. Users expect a secure online experience when providing data via a website. We encourage you to adopt HTTPS in order to protect your users’ connection to your website.
Data sent using HTTPS is secured via Transport Layer Security protocol (TLS), which provides three key layers of protection:
Encryption—encrypting the exchanged data to keep it secure from eavesdroppers. That means that while the user is browsing a website, nobody can “listen” to their conversations, track their activities across multiple pages, or steal their information.
Data integrity—data cannot be modified or corrupted during transfer, intentionally or otherwise, without being detected.
Authentication—proves that your users communicate with the intended website. It protects against man-in-the-middle attacks and builds user trust, which translates into other business benefits.

VacMaster VP112S Chamber Vacuum Sealer Review
NEW MODEL NUMBER VP112S – The very popular VP112 has been replaced with the new and improved VacMaster VP112S Home Chamber Vacuum Sealer. The review below covers the new VP112S model.
No Accessory Port: Unlike the original version, this new model does not have an accessory port. If that is on your must-have list, PolyScience does make a chamber vacuum sealer that has an external vacuum port. Go here to read our review of the PolyScience 300, or go here to see the PolyScience on Amazon.
This updated VacMaster model is the “next generation” of the top selling VP112, which had earned a good reputation, with over 70% of consumers giving it a 4 or 5 star rating.
One common complaint about the original model was that the lid was cheaply made and didn’t hold up well. Apparently Ary VacMaster was listening. The lid on the new model has been redesigned to make it sturdier and more suitable for repetitive sealing. While the company does describe this new lid as heavy duty, it does not say anything about constant heavy-duty use for commercial applications. Rather, this unit is listed as being ideal for home use, outdoor enthusiasts, and sous vide cooks.
One newly added feature is the special Marinating Cycle, which is designed for optimum flavor infusion in foods. Basically, this process works by alternating between the vacuuming state and shorter periods of rest with no vacuum.
Note that this cycle does not seal. It only marinates. If you’re preparing marinated food for storage you’ll need to marinate first, and then run another cycle to vacuum seal it.
Otherwise, the marinating feature gives you a way to very quickly marinate foods that you plan to cook right away. That’s a great help when you forget to plan ahead for something that you usually have to marinate for hours or overnight.
The dry pump can be a plus or a minus, depending on your personal preference. As mentioned in other chamber vacuum sealer reviews on this site, oil pumps cost more and require routine maintenance. They are preferred by some people because they’re faster, quieter, and seem to hold up better over the long term. On the other hand, units with a dry pump may run slower and require occasional cool-down periods during batch processing, but they cost less and are maintenance free.
Size and Capacity
Exterior dimensions: 24″ x 16″ x 9″
Interior dimensions: 12″ x 11″ x 5″
Weight: 46 pounds
All chamber vacuum sealers are pretty large appliances. In width and depth the VP112S has an even bigger footprint than most. However, it’s also not as tall as most others, and it has a hinged lid that makes it more counter-top friendly because you don’t need as much clearance under overhanging cabinets.
The interior chamber will hold food pouches up to a maximum of 12 x 14 inches.
What’s Included
Bags & Optional Accessories
Bags
It doesn’t make sense to cheap it on bags. The good ones work best, and anyway the price difference is minimal. Most highly recommended are those made by VacMaster because they are heavy duty and a minimum of 3 Mils thick. They’re also BPA free and suitable for freezing, refrigerating, microwaving, or boiling.
You can order these from the manufacturer, but based on my research I recommend you check Amazon’s prices. Here are some examples:
Customer Reviews
As of August 2018 there are still fewer than 150 online customer reviews. So far the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, which isn’t surprising considering that its predecessor the VP112 always earned very high praise.
Like the earlier model, the VP112S is deemed quite sufficient for home use. It’s easy to operate, and most report that it is good about producing consistently tight seals.
To get the best results you’ll certainly want to read the instructions first. The owner’s manual for the VP112S includes a number of tips, including:
Always allow at least 3″ of head space.
Due to gasses produced by certain fruits & vegetables, you may need to blanch or freeze first to get a good seal.
Freeze delicate foods before vacuum sealing to prevent crushing.
Don’t overfill food pouches.
As mentioned above, most of the complaints about the original model concerned the lid. Ary VacMaster has re-engineered that lid for the VP112S to make it more heavy-duty and solve the problems being reported.
The other complaint mentioned most often in the past was that customer service was either slow to respond or not helpful. You will now find evidence of the company responding to customer comments online, so that might indicate some improvement. It’s also important to note that if you look at the hundreds of online reviews for other VacMaster models, you’ll find plenty of good reports about the company’s customer service. It’s hard to judge, but generally speaking, a lot of people tend to be very quick to complain yet won’t take the time to review a product they love.
Cons
VacMaster VP112S Chamber Vacuum Sealer Review: Summary
In fairness, feedback is still rather limited on VacMaster VP112S Chamber Vacuum Sealer. Plenty of happy customers were very satisfied with the original model, and this is that same model only redesigned to add features and make improvements to solve earlier complaints. Along with the redesign comes a slight price increase, but it’s still one of the least expensive chamber vacuum sealers on the market.
Please feel free to share your experience and help others. If you’ve purchased this “new and improved” model we’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below to tell use what you think – and remember that smart shoppers always want to know both the good and the bad points!
Where to Find It
If it’s out of stock at Amazon, and/or to search for a lower price, here is another seller you can try:
WebstaurantStore – VacMaster VP112S (?)Important: Sometimes you will see a notice on this site that says “Control panel appearance may vary”. Any difference in the control panel could mean it’s a different model. I would not order from this site without calling them first to be sure exactly which model you are buying. (Note: I have no affiliation with this company and no experience purchasing from them. They do have some positive customer reviews, but they pay their customers to write those reviews.)
I purchased the VP112 model. After approximately 16 months the unit developed an air leak. I discovered that one of the seal bar pistons was leaking air so I replaced it. I then realized that there was another air leak which was in the plastic frame which holds the large sealing gasket. The plastic frame had developed a micro crack which was leaking air into the chamber. This part, to the best of my knowledge is not replaceable. The VP112 is now useless. I must admit that for the first 16 months it was a wonderful unit and I will now never be without a sealer of some type though not this model.
Personally, I would still contact the company (even though you’re past the warranty). You never know when they might be willing to help you out just to protect their reputation, especially with a high end appliance.
Thank you for commenting here. Your experience may help others decide what to buy — and perhaps consider buying an extended warranty.

The economics and politics of instability, empire, and energy, with a focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, plus other random blather and my wonderful wonderful wife. And I’d like a cigar right now.
August 24, 2011
Bahamian wages, the limits of small-country Keynesianism, and the Chinese not-empire really is not (yet) an empire
The Bahamas are not rich by the standards of the United States and Canada. But they are not poor by the standards of the world. There is no desperate poverty, and there are few people cut out of the modern economy altogether. Rather, the country feels like a relatively poor part of the United States. The poor areas are poor, but they are no worse than what you can see all over Florida.
The country’s minimum wage is $4.00 an hour. That’s low by American standards, but high by regional ones: Trinidad’s average wage is only a little higher than the Bahamian legal minimum. “Kitchen helpers” in the hotel industry, one of the lowest-paid categories, average $6.16 per hour. Shop sales assistants make $7.37 an hour. Gas station attendants make $8.00; cashiers $8.40, and housekeepers $10.53. The average hourly wage for all production workers was $13.00, and the average work week was 38 hours. These wages are not low. In fact, average nominal wages in the Bahamas ($13.00) are on a par with Mississippi ($12.83), Puerto Rico ($12.92), and West Virginia ($13.19).
The Great Recession has badly wounded the Bahamian economy, but no worse than several parts of the United States. Bahamian unemployment remains high at 13.7%. That said, unemployment in Minnesota (14.1%), Nevada (13.7%) and Puerto Rico (16.3%) exceeds the Bahamian level, while the other low-wage jurisdictions in the United States don’t show low unemployment: Mississippi with 11.1% and West Virginia with 9.0%.
What is the Free National Movement (FNM) government doing about the economy? Monetary policy, of course, is mostly out of their hands. Capital controls mean that the government also has some room to use monetary policy — it recently slashed the discount rate from 5.25% to 4.50% — but the peg to the dollar limits its freedom of action. The government has some scope for a Keynesian boost — the budget deficit is only 3.0% of GDP, and they recently sold the Bahamian Telecommunications Company for $210 million — but it is unlikely to be effective. Why? Simply put, the Bahamas is too small and too open. Imports come to 35% of GDP. Much of any stimulus, therefore, is likely to “leak” away in increased imports.
What’s left, then, besides praying for the United States to get out of the doldrums? Well, Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham has decided to try attracting as much Chinese investment as possible. The Chinese government has taken a $2.75 billion equity stake in the giant Baha Mar resort development. It also provided loans to finance stadium and road construction.
The problem? Well, the economic problem is the same as with Keynesian spending: leakage. The Bahamas is a pretty small economy. It doesn’t produce a whole lot of construction material, and while unemployment is high, it doesn’t have that many skilled construction workers. The Baha Mar construction project will bring in 6,150 Chinese construction workers, while the $70 million new airport road has involved another 200. Not all the construction labor force will be Chinese, of course, but construction is estimated to employ only 4,000 Bahamians. The developers have pledged only $200 million in contracts to Bahamian firms although that might ultimately rise higher.
The China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) will get $1.9 billion, or 53% of the total value of the project. Some of that may stay in the Bahamas, of course, but probably not a whole lot: Chinese workers are estimated to remit roughly $12,000 per year. They do, of course, eat and drink — but the Bahamas is a large agricultural importer, and so those expenditures will like benefit American agriculturalists. The government estimates about $80 million or so in tax payments from the CSCEC but that isn’t a lot. The highest estimate is that Bahamian contractors will receive no more than $400 million, or 11% of the total project value — and they will, of course, spend a large chunk of that revenue on imported inputs. In short, at least half the stimulus will leak away and possibly as much as 90%.
The Nassau Guardian summed it up: “"The Bahamas has fallen fully into the embrace of China. And the rising empire has been kind with its gifts … What Bahamians must understand is that when China lends, and it contracts its own workers to do the job, a significant amount of the money borrowed goes back to China with the workers who build the project. They pay their workers with money we borrow … The Chinese also keep their workers in self-contained on-site camps when they are sent abroad. We barely get them to visit our stores to spend the money we borrowed when they are working in our countries.”
This is not to say that the project is a bad deal! Once it’s done, it will provide a solid boost to the Bahamian economy. Even if the U.S. economy stays flat, it should be able to attract business away from other Caribbean resorts. It is to say that a tiny country like the Bahamas can’t really do a whole lot to use countercyclical fiscal policy to boost its economy, regardless of whether the stimulus comes from government borrowing or foreign investment.
The U.S. government worried that China might be “using this investment solely to establish a relationship of patronage with a U.S. trading partner less than 190 miles from the United States.” I don’t see it. Sure, the Chinese government will have a big stake in a giant resort development. If there was some evidence that China had used its state power to unfairly obtain contracts from American firms, then there might be cause for concern, but there isn’t. Nor is there evidence that China bribed or otherwise influenced Bahamian officials.
As for Chinese “patronage,” well, patronage in exchange for what? The U.S. already controls large spheres of Bahamian public policy. The Chinese government isn’t about to force the Bahamas to suspend OPBAT, expel the Coast Guard, sever the link to the dollar, seize American property, restrict American imports, replace the Privy Council with a Chinese court, or station nuclear weapons off the coast of Florida. Given the overwhelming dominance of the United States, and its long-standing and multiple links with the Bahamas, I can’t for the life of me figure out what a “patronage relationship” with Beijing would even mean. In point of fact, “Senior GCOB officials privately expressed that China is not their preferred partner and acknowledge that negotiations are difficult.” Moreover, the Chinese government told the Americans that they were unhappy about the need to take the financial lead on the project: “Chinese embassy officials privately told [a U.S. official] the China Ex-Im bank would prefer another investor in the mix to diminish the financial risk.” E.g., Americans just weren’t interested. So much for the rising empire muscling out the declining one.
The only realistic worry I can see is that the Bahamas might serve a pathway for illegal Chinese immigration, a fear shared by the U.S. Embassy in Nassau: “The continuous arrival of thousands of low-wage Chinese workers in the Bahamas will likely lead to a significant increase in illegal migration of Chinese from the Bahamas to the United States. The GCOB (Government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas) does not have the institutional capacity to effectively monitor the movements of the Chinese workers nor effectively detect inauthentic travel documents.” But still, that is minor ... and that worry involves the fact that China is still a poor country unable to retain its own people when given opportunities elsewhere.
In short: the Bahamas is rich, small countries have serious economic limitations, and China is still both poor and very far away. Okay, not the deepest conclusions ever, but hey. I am on vacation. And really, any opportunity to reduce the latent China-hysteria in the United States is probably worth taking.

I disagree. Although, it'll help the economy, the question now remains what exactly does China want with the Bahamas or any other Caribbean country?
Your research is good, but it doesn't imply what exactly comes with China loaning the Bahamas money. You've spoken about 2 projects, the Chinese are building about 10 projects. And a small country like Bahamas can't possibly pay China back. So no doubt will the immigration laws be changed, they will. You also have to remember that these are two different ideologies and culture.
China got extremely petty with the USA over a minor issue, imagine what can happen if it got angry with the Bahamas or any other Caribbean nation. And so far every Caribbean nation that China has assisted has severed ties with Taiwan. But I guess you see nothing wrong with that?
I live in the Bahamas , more specifically Freeport Grand Bahama and i dont appreciate how u are trying to make my island and country look bad . These are some of the worst pictures you could have possibly taken .Grand Bahama is one of the most beautiful islands in the bahamas . And compared to americas poor people our poor are middle class citizens .

After Measles Success, Rwanda to Get Rubella Vaccine: Vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and rubella continue to cause significant suffering, death, and disability for children throughout the developing world. Despite the proven effectiveness of basic childhood vaccines and their low cost—less than $1 for vaccine and delivery—many children do not receive them. In recent years, efforts such as the Measles & Rubella Initiative have successfully broken down barriers to accessing the measles vaccine leading to a more than 70% drop in measles deaths since 2000. Rwanda has been particularly successful in getting measles vaccines to its children with over 90% of children receiving the recommended two doses. Now, with government commitment and international partners, Rwanda will add the rubella vaccine which will address another preventable disease in children that causes birth defects such as blindness, deafness, and mental disabilities.

Tumbo.., “It was the exact same punch that turned Pacquiao’s lights out just a couple of rounds later.”
Nope!!! They were 2 completely different punches.
The first knockdown was a full length overhand right that Marquez timed perfectly to catch a retreating Pacquiao.. It was a thing of beauty.. The KO shot was a short, straight counter over a vicious cutting with a lead right hook.. You couldn’t possibly time it better or catch a punching opponent at a more perfect angle, or with more leverage, for a shot that short.
It was a master stroke. One of the best punches ever thrown.

“Manny got drop earlier round but that’s it”(?). that’s EVERYthing especially since it was the exact same punch that turned Pacquiao’s* lights out just a couple of rounds later. also, Pacquiao* was ahead by a single point going into the 6th thanks to a KD aided by his big foot stomping on Marquez’s foot and tripping him up. otherwise, Marquez won the 3rd and 4th round big time during which Manny* only narrowly escaped being dropped again; Pacquiao* got the 5th; and there was a lot of activity but no serious punches being landed ion the 6th until Marquez lowered the boom –As He Predicted– for good in the 6th. that’s what actually happened on the fight-night of December 8, 2012. Marquez is Greater for All Time.

Tark: it wasn’t a back and forth slugfest. Manny got drop earlier round but that’s it. Everybody who is watching and witnessing it Pacman is winning the fight big time, by score cards he is winning. I understand the devastating punch and how I see it is a lucky punch that looks devastating. I have not recall any Marquez previous fight with that much power. Marquez BEST devastating punch of his career but not the whole boxing. Pacman vs. Hatton is more devastating than that! Bring on the stretcher fir Hatton. Pacman stand and walk in his way out of the ring. I can’t remember if he gave and interview after the fight not sure but will definitely check on that.

Marquez’s advantage was counting on Pacquiao* to push any perceived advantage of his own. Marquez is another very keen Mfr who understands an opponent’s psyche and can anticipate openings especially when it comes to Pacquiao*. it’s not an overstatement to say that Marquez wrote the pocket guide and provided the cover pix on how to defeat Pacquiao*. it’s pretty simple: circle left, focus on avoiding Pacquiao’s* left, and cock your right-hand in anticipation of leading or countering Pacquiao’s* lunging powerpunches. Marquez successfully shifted from the master boxer and counter-puncher he was in III to the KO-seeking slugger in IV. Pacquiao* was unable to deal with either. Marquez is Greater.

@Mike Tyson.., Vegans can add protein muscle as easily as meat eaters. They have to have a little more expertise on foods and cooking in general.
Soy beans are protein-packed, and incredibly low in fat and cholesterol. Hemp seeds have a very high protein and Omega-3’s content. Pea protein is great and loaded with amino acids.
You need to eat well… but there’s no need to overeat if you want to add some muscle weight — even if you’re a vegan…
They had Pacquiao eating 5 meals a day and he said, “no more” after his 154 fight… He thought all the eating was hurting him. He couldn’t add any more high value weight to his frame by stuffing himself 5 times a day. He went back to 3 moderate meals to loud protests from his strength trainer. He fights at 145 and doesn’t dry out for the weigh-in.

@ Havoc… Pacquiao wasn’t killed so it wasn’t a great punch???
That is easily one of the best punches I’ve ever seen in my life. I was pulling for Pacquiao because I still want to see the May-Pac fight..
It was a gripping back-n-forth momentum swinging battle… They both suffered knockdowns and Pacquiao had a wonderful 5th round… He was pushing his advantage—but I could see Marquez was sitting in the weeds … My thought was, “OH NO, DON’T FOLLOW HIM IN.”
My greatest fear was realized by a cataclysmic right hander. A dramatic and thrilling ending to one of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen. Marquez’s quest to vanquish Pacquiao was over.
Not quite… but by the way Pacquiao pitched forward, for about 5 minutes it seemed like that punch might end Pacquiao’s career… On the slo-mo it looked like Pac’s chin was driven 3 inches into his neck, and the crowd let out a huge collective gasp at the sight.

It was a great punch tumbo I don’t ever doubt that. Marquez would have KO d most welters if not all with that powerful shot. Honestly I was worried if we would ever see him again. That’s why I’m not bothered by the rios fight. He needed to fight someone that was less dangerous to see if he had the hunger anymore. I do hope that he beats Bradley with no doubt what so ever. I know that a fifth fight with Marquez sounds boring but they have a fire that wants to fight eachother, they just match up so well. If PAC can win twice this year which I think he can and dela and arum can sort there problems out which Oscar has shown some interest in doing, sky is the limit next year.

May-Marq IV was an all-time Top-10 KO… Let’s not kid around.

John Tate did that when he got hit by Mike Weaver… Ingo did it when Patterson nailed him. He didn’t fall on his face but he was dead gone… and Pacquiao when Marquez ripped him.
There’s probably a few more champs who went out like that, but I can’t remember who… You don’t see that a whole lot.. Pacquiao went out many, many years ago from perfect body shots — but he never in his life got clipped on the chin like that.. With the body shot you’re conscious, there’s unbelievable pain, and you can’t move..
With the chin shot you don’t feel a thing… You’re iced, so you don’t even try to break your own fall… I’ve seen guys wake up with a smashed nose because they fell dead on it.

Martinez v. Williams is comparable but not greater. lacks the drama, controversial history, and sustained rivalry of the Marquez v. Pacquiao* bouts but for sheer brutality, it is comparable. Tszyu v. Judah was an intriguing bout but once again, no rivalry and the stakes in terms of ring-legacy is not comparable. Pacquiao* v. Hatton was anti-climactic since Hatton had already lost to Mayweather and it was obvious that his chin could never stand up to Pacquiao’s* punches, which i posted at the time. it was predictable outcome for me and Team Pacquiao*, which is why they confirmed the matchup in the first place. Big Name; Loyal fanba$e; no chance of hurting Pacquiao*; and guaranteed to be hurt every time Pacquiao* landed, which is precisely what happened. anybody counting on Hatton’s chin to carry him to victory was delusional.

manny didn’t gain bulk doing plyometric , heavy weight and small sets does Does give you bulk but doesn’t come that easy,
Strange ascMartinez just started 1 week ago check out the video he was day or 2 in training, and I was not the first to say steroid, many other at that site first said so. But do check him out.
Being a vegetarian and gain bulk and musscle? I don’t think so veg don’t have the amount of protein need for bulk, you get more leaner the more you eat veg and excise.

An old article after the Mosley fight:
“Pacquiao looks like he’s starting to slow down as a fighter By Robert Brown: After the May 7th 2011 mega hyped bout against Sugar Shane Mosley, which fizzled out to an anti-climatic and unsatisfying result, it is clear to me, even though Manny Pacquiao coasted to an easy victory against an extremely defensive and often retreating Sugar Shane Mosley, that Pacquiao’s prime has officially passed him by.
For those of you who jump to question this statement all you have to do is look at the trend, and the trend is that Pacquiao has been getting hit more consistently in his most recent fights than he ever had been during his entire career with Freddie Roach, excluding the Hatton fight of course, which is nearly impossible to compare as it only lasted 1 ¾ rounds.
Pacquiao, more noticeably in his fight against Mosley, was unable to throw multiple combinations in consistent bursts like he had done in the past. Some people will say that this was due to the defensive mindset Mosley took into the fight, and I somewhat agree with this. Mosley’s attitude was in part a reason why Pacquiao was not able to dominate in the way he and his team would have liked, however I do believe there is more involved.
Mosley’s style was turning Pacquiao around, making him lunge and reach for his punches, more than any other time in the past five or six years. And an even more worrying factor for Pacquiao was that Mosley was able to easily slip and dodge so many of Pacquiao’s punches, even though Mosley is not considered a great defensive fighter, compared with Mayweather for example, who is a master of defense. I believe Mayweather will be able to turn Pacquiao around and pick him apart fairly easily.
Manny has also appeared to have lost his killer instinct since the De La Hoya fight. Granted his bout with Clottey was destined to go the distance, as Clottey is a resilient fighter who has never been stopped, but in the Margarito fight he could have finished Margarito off, but he quite clearly eased off on the gas when he knew he had the points, and saw Margarito was getting battered which lost him the hunger for the ko.
Again in the Mosley fight there were several opportunities for Pacquiao to step on the gas and go for the kill, but it appeared, at least through my eyes, that Manny had too much respect for Mosley, and therefore passed up many of those opportunities. It wasn’t until Mosley was incorrectly credited with a knock down that Manny fired up and began to land some combinations, but by then the fight was basically over.
Now I’m a huge admirer and a fan of Manny Pacquiao, and of what he has accomplished in the ring over the past 5 ½ years, but I feel that unless Pacquiao can get his killer instinct back, the killer instinct he possessed during the De La Hoya and previous fights, and unless he can stop himself from being turned around in the ring, I’m afraid that the biggest fight of this generation “Mayweather Vs Pacquiao” could be yet another anti-climatic result At the moment from what I saw Mayweather wins easy u.d because if Moseley can turn him and slip his punches Mayweather certainly will, and he will counter with speed and accuracy.
Manny must work on these flaws an rediscover his desire for the ko for this fight to deliver up to and beyond expectations”

Manny Pacquiao’s career thus far has been that of a legend, and arguably the best of all time. If you look at Manny’s up bringing in the sport of boxing, you can see he had no one to guide him for so long. He didn’t have any great experienced trainers to show teach him and he had no great fighters to learn from. Manny Pacquiao was looking to survive in life one day at a time. If he had been dealt the same cards as say a Floyd Mayweather Jr( born into a fighting family and given the opportunity to develop with the best fighters in the world as an amatuer), you can only imagine how much greater Manny would have been. Manny does it on his own natural fighting ability. Freddie Roach has been adding small pieces to the already made fighter. Manny is a natural that has always had amazing speed, power and athleticism. Look at his videos when he was a teenager fighting. He was always a natural puncher. He was fighting men at 15 years of age that were physically more mature and had experience. Forget the losses, he was barely a baby learning to crawl at that stage of his boxing career. Remember, it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. Manny Pacquiao learned how to fight the hard way through trials and tribulations. He could have quit a long time ago, but he has tremendous character. People that don’t like Manny try to pointing at drugs, Peds or anything else, but Manny was dropping guys at age 15. Some fighters like Pacquiao, Duran, Archie Moore, Tyson were gifted with power. Manny Pacquiao is an incredible fighter that has achieved more than any other fighter in the history of boxing. Outside the boxing ring, he’s even more amazing. You must admire a man that has taken Manny Pacquiao’s path and fought his way to the pinnacle of sports. On April 12, you will see Manny continue to build on his already monumental boxing legacy. Trust me, Manny Pacquiao has done it all. Manny is the best.

Mike Tyson.., Martinez is the last guy to use PEDs. When he got the middleweight title shot at Pavlik he started doing tons of plyometric pullups, pushups, and jumps. He needed to become a legitimate middieweight and get a lot stronger.
If your readings for testosterone are within the normal range, you will generally add 10 to 20 pounds of muscle weight from plyometrics — depending on if you’re a welterweight or heavyweight.. If you want to add even more weight to your frame you should find a good strength trainer — or read up on scientific weight training for athletes on the web.
If you want to drop back down one division you drop the plyometrics regimen and just do your regular boxing workout. The added muscle weight will come off in about 6 months, about the same time it took to add it.
Anytime you add muscle and strength, somebody’s going to accuse you of using PEDs… But you could be a vegetarian and add a lot of muscle weight, if you’re 16 to 40 and have normal testosterone levels for a male.

Those with short memories or those that were not on board the Pacquiao express back in 2003-2004 probably don’t recall the intense discussions in the boxing world when Freddie Roach warned the world that something was amiss with the money Pacquiao was getting from then promoter Murad Muhammad.
In 2005, Pacquiao filed suit and the boxing community became fully aware that Roach was spot on in regards to Promotional and Managerial failings in the Pac-Man team. Roach was at the head of protecting his Philippine fighter, even quitting the team at one point.
Missing were the funds to pay his US taxes, diverted by less scrupulous people than the trusting Manny, though this matter was settled in court the cost may have affected Pacquiao’s bottom line, so to that point perhaps money from before that date is not all that correct when reported in the press.
…”It has taken me awhile to come to terms with the fact that I have been cheated by people whom I trusted,” stated Mr. Pacquiao regarding the lawsuit today. “I intend to see this suit to the bitter end so that I can recover every dollar that was stolen from me, as well as help protect other fighters from being taken advantage of by Mr. Muhammad. As for the immediate future, my fans can rest assured that I will be fighting soon, but not with Murad Muhammad or M&M Sports as my promoter. As of today, I have instructed my new management to begin negotiating for my next fight and fights thereafter. I will never fight again for Murad Muhammad and M&M Sports.”

Also you have a very short temper anything, losing something, he get piss of and start punching wall. Time to walk away, that a steroid user. And they also develop a big head, like Martinez LOL the bully king. They talk big as no body can them. How about fury? Another steriord nut.
Even lance Armstrong had a big ego. That steriord.
Manny say its boxing, “you lose some you win some that boxing” that not steroid.

AUZBOX my friend, you’re right. People better not underestimate Alvarado. He’s a a big, strong durable fighter. My only concern is that there will be no testing for this fight, and that give Ped Man Marquez and Angel Hereida (Ped Supplier to the USA Track and Field team. This is open bar for Ped Man Marquez to come into the ring fully loaded. Bad move by the commission. Ped Man and his camp should never be trusted. How old i she now? 50. Alvarado will pull off the upset and end this cheater for good. Now, on to the great Manny Pacquiao on April 12.

Too bad Arum never wanted Pac to fight Floyd. Unfortunately he is doing the same thing with Rios and Ruslan. He doesn’t want him to fight Ruslan but yet Rios says he wants the fight. So all this if the fighter really wants it he can make it happen is bogus when you have a promoter that doesn’t want the fight to happen.

“The drug testing stuff, the feud with Arum… yea, I hate that guy, but it was a plan, a blueprint. The plan was to stay unbeaten, become the biggest star in the sport, and wait for Pac to lose in the meantime. I knew it would happen and it did. Listen it’s not that I was scared of Pac. I’ve been fighting in the ring since I was 2. Its just that I didn’t want to do it. Cotto took a real beating in that fight, he probably didn’t recover for years. It wasn’t something I needed to do, and I didn’t need Pac to help my legacy. I already have my legacy, period.”

Tumbo…”Marquez was counting on Pacquiao’s* carelessness and publicly predicted the KO win along with the fight-plan he would deliver to execute it.”
This is why you never tell your opponent your fight plan… and if your trainer shoots his mouth off about a KO you’re planning to execute … you fire the stupid SOB.
On the other hand, if Pacquiao was planning to box Marquez all the way, then all their blabbermouthing would have been perfect—to set Marquez up with a lie-in-the-weeds strategy… However, Roach and Pac are such poor actors that JMM realized that all the bragging about a KO win wasn’t sleight of hand… It was the real deal … and he could plan accordingly.

Manny Pacquiao fought the best of his era, and ducked no one. He was voted Fighter of The decade by all the top boxing writers. Mind you, Floyd Mayweather was also in Manny’s decade. Manny is the ONLY 8 time division champion in the history of boxing, and that will never be duplicated. Seriously, Mayweather’s MO is that of a fighter than ran for the money and away from real challenges. Castillo beat him regardless of what the judges said. Look at the compu-box numbers and watch the fight, he lost. De La Hoya beat him also, but a split decision to a guy that was over the hill? And Mosely almost decapitated him. An old fragile over the hill Mosely. Manny would have given Mayweather a beating. Marquez says Manny was faster and stronger. Take away Floyd Mayweather’s speed, and he has nothing. Southpaws gave him fits, can you imagine a faster, stronger, more athletic and agile southpaw power house like Manny fighting Mayweather? The boxing world knows that Floyd was scared and he has admitted that in a round and about way. You’re talking about a fighter that had to sucker punch an opponent to win a fight. Floyd Mayweather is a tarnished fighter that will never stand along side the legendary Manny Pacquiao. Manny’s speed of hand and foot would have had Floyd looking for cover. Manny has more stamina, and can fight in a variety of styles as witnessed against Rios. Boxer, puncher, counter puncher, fight inside, move or punch. Mayweather hit, runs, hits, runs and we saw what happened when he tried to fight with Cotto. he was taking some shots and looked like he was about to cry. Now imagine Manny Pacquiao landing on him. A short night it would have been, but Mayweather will never live down the avoidance of his biggest threat, the legendary, Manny Pacquiao. Manny is the best!

“Manny Pacquiao was beating the life out of Marquez until the lucky Ped Punch landed” then why was Marquez only behind by a single point going into the 6th round? after Dropping Manny* for the first time in the 3rd? in fact, if it weren’t for the fact that Manny* stepped on Marquez’s foot in the 5th round, Marquez would’ve been ahead by at least a point going into the 6th. finally, it was Marquez who seemingly KNOCKED the life right out of Napuiao* who his own corner and fans feared had been killed by an overdose of “Dinamita” that night. bottomline, Marquez was dinging Pacquiao* all night. Pacquiao’s* best round was the 5th but Pactarded hysterics aside, he was getting nothing serious done in any other round particularly not the 6th when he FLATTENED and KTFO by Marquez the Greater.

Gentlemen, Manny Pacquiao was beating the life out of Marquez until the lucky Ped Punch landed. You saw the replay, Manny stepped on Ped Man’s intentional foot that was placed in fron, Manny stepped on it and was thrown off balance, Ped Man closed his eyes and it happened. Things happen in boxing. Ped Man Marquez sure didn’t look so buffed against Bradley? Hereida couldn’t get his nutritional mix right this time? Manny leads the series 3-1, and please don’t tell me that Ped Man Marquez won the first one either. The judge already admitted he didn’t know how to score the 3 knockdown round, and made a mistake that cost Pacquiao the victory. I’ve watched all the fights without bias, and Manny Pacquiao clearly won them all, and trust me, I know how to score a fight. Next up, Bradley’s execution.

Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao has done it all. From Ghetto to Glory. From Rags to Riches. From the streets of the Philippines to arguably the greatest fighter of all time. No fighter has ever impacted the sport of boxing like Manny Pacquiao. Not Ali, not Robinson, not Tyson, no one. This is a legend that continues to elevate himself with legendary fights. Eight division titles is unimaginable and will never be duplicated. Manny raised the bar for greatness by accomplishing monumental feat. This accomplishment can be related to sending astronauts to the moon on a balloon. It just doesn’t happen, but Manny Pacquiao did it. One might ask the question, why is Manny such a popular iconic figure? The answer is because he’s as genuine a human being as there is. And sometimes when you’re a great human being there are those that are jealous and envious. The Filipino fighting machine has been been nothing but pure entertaining excitement in the boxing ring. Who can forget his rise to fame as he destroyed boxing’s once great fighters. Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Hatton, Margarito, Mosely, De La Hoya and many more. Manny posses some potent power with dazzling foot work, precision accuracy and lighting speed of hands. His boxing is that of a master chess player. One wrong move and you’re done. Don’t think for a second he has lost a step. Trust me when I say that he will devastate Timothy Bradley in their rematch on April 12th. I will be in attendance as I mentioned before, and I will be in my patented Manny Pacquiao attire. The Philippines, New York, Los Angeles and Finally Las Vegas Nevada. Sin City will have it’s sin running for cover as the angleic Manny Pacquiao brings his forces into town. Boxing is struggling to make big fights happen. Manny is always entertaining fans with big fights. They make the headlines. On the other side, we have ESPN type fights like Mayweather vs Maidana, Broner vs Molina and Porter vs Malignaggi where everyone already knows the outcome. This is why boxing needs and pleads for Manny Pacquiao to continue. In Los Angeles earlier today, earthquakes began. This was frightening to experience. The City is somewhat discombobulated. I truly believe that their is a reason for this to happen so suddenly. My belief is that the City of LA does not want Manny Pacquiao to leave town, and it’s showing it’s disapproval by shaking things up. As many witnessed, La was at peace since Manny’s arrival. Other than the normal hysteria Manny Mania produces, the city was well. And I do hope things get better, and LA will not need Manny Pacquiao to nurse it back to good health. Manny is the best.

Pacquiao* v. Hatton was no “rivalry”. it was also v. a glass-chinned Hatton who had already been seriously dinged by the featherfisted Collazo and KO’d by Mayweather. Martinez v. Williams was also no rivalry. Martinez didn’t have the stature of Marquez and not even Williams was as overrated as Pacquiao* was. besides, that’s aNother KO i confidently predicted. no knowledgeable fight-fan was surprised by that outcome. except for Tark. you fanboys are seriously out of your league on this topic.

OMG Floyd just earned a ton of respect from me. He finally admited to ducking Pac in a exclusive interview at proboxing-fans. He said no way was he gonna fight Pac after what he did to Cotto. The plan was to avoid Pac stay undefeated and get money. He knew Pac would eventually lose he just had to stay away until then. ROTF DEBATE OVER FLOYD TOOK. Y’ALL FOR A RIDE TRIED TO TELL YA.

NObody dares identify the 5 rounds that Pacquiao* had to win in their first bout to earn a “W”; even Donaire and Ronnie Nathanielz (along with Bernstein) scored II for Marquez; Pacquiao* was humiliated so badly by the scorecard-gift in III that he felt compelled to prepare for a final showdown in IV for which the “older”, “slower”, and “smaller” Marquez delivered the “Dinamita” as he publicly declared he would do. the rivalry is OVER.

I rewatched that fight again, 2 times this past weekend. Bradley said unequivocally that he won the fight 8 – 4. Is this kid on something? I re-scored the fight round by round, and the only way Bradley, ties… is if I gave Bradley round 1 & 2. Those 2 rounds could’ve gone either way, as no one fighter really made a mark. But Bradley kind of controlled those two rounds, without really doing much. Either-case if the rounds were close, I gave em to Bradley, regardless how I felt the round actually went or regardless of punch stats. If it was close, I gave it to Bradley.
In the lkater rounds, I gave Bradley 2 of those close rounds as well. Even though I initially scored rounds 7 and 9 for Pacman, it was still close enough, so I gave it to Bradley as well. Even after doing that, the fight was a draw.
Bradley knows he lost that fight, that is why this fight is so important to him. Bradley knows he needs redemption, kindda like what Marquez did. For this fight to go to the decision, would leave a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. All the pressure’s on Bradley.
He’s a decent enough fighter, with skills, speed… but has that Paulie Malignaggi ‘no power’ thing to contend with.

“Marquez was being beat up by Pac before he timed a perfect shot against a careless Pacman” BullSh@t Pacturd of DELPHI. Btw, Marquez was counting on Pacquiao’s* carelessness and publicly predicted the KO win along with the fight-plan he would deliver to execute it. accordingly, he DroppeD Pacquiao* in the third and was only behind by a point going into the 6th. IF he had only scored aNother KD he would’ve been leading going into the 7th with momentum on his side. instead he executed the #1 KO in Boxing History and the rest is your unending nightmare. instead of complaining about Marquez’s “luck” you should be lamenting Pacquiao’s* chronic inability to avoid being SOCKED bloody by Marquez or close the show whenever he’s managed to hurt Marquez. GTFOH with your whiny “luck” or “careless” or “Pac* was winning until he got KTFO”, which is all that horrified ringside observers will remember about that bout. you whiny-sore-losing Pacturds* need to get over the fact that Marquez is Greater and he proved it in III and IV to “answer all questions and remove all doubt”.

I really don’t see why a past decision should influence the result for their rematch…at least in the eye of the judges…after all judges are supposed to be impartial. If Bradley outboxes Pac (and I think he will) and beat him, then he should get the decision regardless of what took place on their first fight.
Although I agree the judges had it wrong by giving Bradley the win, he had nothing to do with that decision. Why would the judges punish Bradley, and create more controversy, if he does in fact wins the fight clearly even if it’s by decision? Two wrongs don’t make one right.
As for the result of this fight, I believe Bradley will beat Pac for a few reasons: First, Bradley learned a bunch from their last encounter and will adjust, while Pac only has one strategy. Second, as with the Marquez fight, I believe Pac is going for the KO against Bradley and I think it’ll be a mistake. Bradley can take a punch, as proven on his fight against Provo and he can box. So in the quest for a KO, Pac will be eating lots of leather. Thirdly, unless Pac has found the fountain of youth, father time is catching up to him and it’ll have an impact on later rounds. Lastly, their first encounter wasn’t as one sided as many here are alluding to. I believe Bradley has what it takes to beat Pac and his determination will be a huge factor.

He would have to win the rounds big to get a decision. I think he can. Unfortunately when he got the nod in the first fight I think it was a make up call from the 3rd Marquez fight. Now this time it may be a make up call for his first fight with Pac. I think he wins a decision though.

Tark your comment and the conclusion make no sense. Bradley lost the 1st fight, he knows it. Marquez was being beat up by Pac before he timed a perfect shot against a careless Pacman. Pac will deck Bradley much more than Bradley will deck him. It’s that easy.
There will be no 3rd match, no need to. Floyd will continue to duck Pac, who will either fight Marquez, Khan or Providnikov.

Hecdog.., “Bradley knows full well he’s not going to beat Manny.”
Bradley expects to win all right. He loves the fight in fact.
For one thing he knows his ankles will be in much better condition this time. He’ll be wearing socks… He’ll also be wearing shoes that fit so his ankles don’t roll constantly…
Secondly, he beat the man who knocked Pacquiao into Zu Zu Land with one shot. Tim tasted two (2) super hard shots from Provodnikov and kept his lights on. He almost decked Marquez and was never rocked, floored or hurt.
Thirdly, if you look in the record book he already holds a win over Pacman — while he was fighting one of the worst fights of his life. He knows if he wins this one it’s icing on the cake — and a bitter pill for all the Pactards.
Personally I think Pac will win. I make him a 9:5 favorite. To me, that means Bradley has a fantastic chance to win. He’s a live underdog.

Decision
I am a Pacman fan, think he was the best in history, in his prime, 2-3 years ago.
I am hoping that he is back close to his prime, because he will need it against Bradley.
Pacman won the first fight against Bradley, due to him catching most of Bradleys punches, with his gloves. He did not get the decision.
Bradley has really fast hands, and feet, so it will take a magical Manny, to do better than fx Marquez did against Bradley.
I don’t like Bradley, but I fear that he is being underestimated. He is not far from Pacquiao/Mayweather class.
Manny has the advantage of punching power, I hope he will use it to avoid a 12 round decision.
Pacquiao vs Rios; Manny could not get the KO, against a terribly slow and open fighter.
This is a case of “Does Manny want it enough, to train hard enough, and avoid distractions”? I hope so.

Timothy Bradley has lost his mind. He continues to run his about about everything and anything to favor him because he knows full well he’s not going to beat Manny. Manny Pacquiao will dominate him and stop him before round 4 or no later than round 9. Bradley really has no idea how to fight a southpaw. He paws with that jab and swings that right hook or over hand right, but he’s not going to be able to deal with the speed of Manny Pacquiao’s punches. Manny will have to use his right hook a lot more to set up that left. There will be no decision in this fight. Trust me on this, Manny Pacquiao will show everyone why he is today’s Pound for Pound King. You will see the fastest hands in boxing throwing punches from all angles and hitting their mark. The quick and fast agile feet will have Bradley off balance and unable to find anything. I also believe Manny will use some sharp uppercuts to bring Bradley over sized head up for that left hand. Manny is just now reaching his peak. Manny has got to be careful of Bradley’s head. He uses that as a weapon often, so Manny has to watch himself. Once Manny hurts Bradley, and he will early, he’s going to surprise a lot of people with his power. Manny is the better athlete that has more speed, power, athleticism, and sooner or later, Bradley will want to fight Manny toe to toe as he did against Provodnikov. As I have mentioned before, no one beats Manny when he is motivated, in shape, focused and the pressure is on. Manny Pacquiao will give the boxing world something to talk about on April 12. Trust me on this, Manny Pacquiao will shock the world. Manny is the best.

Bradley has the chin and overall strength to outclass Pacquiao* over 12 rounds and if he improves his counterpunching, i wouldn’t be surprised if he scored a flash-KD. Pacquiao* will be his same, single-fisted, hard-charging self. still dangerous but very beatable. especially the “boxer” version that Marquez powershotted to distraction in III. nonetheless, considering the stakes, i hope that Bradley isn’t robbed by the scorecards. otherwise, as long as Bradley doesn’t get bold or careless, he’ll outclass and outpunch Pacquiao* over 12 rounds.

Bradley throw a lot of wild punches with not much power. Pacman, Marquez or Ruslan would land 4 power punches to Bradley’s nuggin and withstood the effect and then Bradley answer back with 10 punches with not much power but connected so in judges card Bradley won the round. So basically Bradley said if you can’t KO him at least you need to Outland him to get the point in the round. Bradley is a type of fighter with tough chin, throw a lot of punches but not a power puncher.

Maidana is the perfect fighter to defeat Mayweather since Jose Luis Castillo. He has body work, constant jab to the stomach and head , a chin, resilient at giving time he gets hurts and comeback. He is a complete fighter. Last time I seen Maidana fought was against Khan and Victor. I thought about him a brawler. I thought to myself, he is good but he is bot going to far. I give a chance with Broner because of his constant pressure and stamina. But I seen in with different boxing and beautiful jab against Broner a lot power and determination. He destroy Broner to make it a safe match with Molina. He broke Broner confidence, he will break Mayweather concentration and confidence… Continue Reading

I mean besides guys like Ken Morita and Tom Kaczmarek — I can see those 2 guys giving Pacquiao the fight if he wins 3 rounds — and loses 4 rounds by less than 8 punches if Pacquiao lands 8 or more shots himself.
They’ll explain that Pacquiao’s fewer punches were harder.
That’s what Kaczmarek said after the May-DLH fight…and Morita said after May-Castillo II when asked about their puzzling scorecards afterwards… okay, there’s a few other really bad judges out there as well.
I actually don’t expect Tim to box as well as all that… but he IS motivated to bring a career effort to this particular fight — so he could surprise us with something unbelievable.
The best news Bradley ever heard was that Pacquiao had a cold.., “HAHAHAHAHA FKN’ GREAT!!!”
Tim is pretty serious about winning because of what the perception was last time — to say nothing of the fact that this is the most important fight of his life, by far.
Tim isn’t a puncher but he wins… He’s one of the most hardcore people out there … He gets down to business.

Get over it, bet you are” forreal” you are off your rockers,and make no sense, Bradley will get the stuffing beaten out of him. Don’t forget to be here on fight, dont hide and disappear when you are proven wrong once again.

Get over it
Bradley is not afraid of Manny nor his power, like I said he already has taken it not only that from Ruslan who hits way harder he gave Tim a concussion. So I don’t think he will be dropping Timothy. Manny hasnt KOed anyone since 09. So no one is afraid of him or his power he didn’t stop Bradley, Marquez or Rios. Only guys he beat are dehydrated fighters or guys coming off losses. Rios was one hand picked SOB. Bradley will expose him no matter how aggressive or how many punches Pacroid throws he is very accessible to counter ala Marquez ala KTFO. Wild punches from different angles leave you open. I onely wished he would have fought Floyd we really would have seen a one sided demolishment of Manny no juice no power.

Bradley should feel that way. after all he is still undefeated. Paquiao must apply constant pressure and cut off the ring and not give Bradley enough time to think to much about what he is doing in there. Paquiao’s hand speed and combination punching may be 2 keys to this bout. Paquiao will have to fight for the entire round each round with out slacking off. I think I like Paquiao by a close but unanimous decision in this bout.

Pacs not Marquez you can use movement to get away hes to fast. Thats why Pac dominated the 1st fight.

Bradley rips Pacquiao for not knocking Rios out… which… no one knocks Rios out… so what the hell? However Pacquiao’s knock out percentage is way higher than Bradley’s and it’s no surprise Bradley isn’t saying he can knock Manny out. (I think Bradley can, but whatever… it only matters what he thinks) Long story short. Manny wins a decision… Marquez turns down rematch… what’s left for Manny? (I don’t believe Marquez will honor being a mandatory if he beats Alvarado unless it’s Bradley he’ll face.) If Bradley wins he should tell Marquez to shuv it and push for a fight with Mayweather. That’s a fight I want to see!!!

“I will be faster then Pacquiao”?Ok Tim by faster do you mean you will run around the ring faster then Pacquiao, because I’ve yet to meet an opponent who has not been tagged by the telegraphed left hand of Pacquiao.

Chicago once again Manny has the same power and Tim has already taken it. We are sick of the promises they said he would KO him the first time along with Marquez and Rios and he didn’t. So whats next talk is cheap put up or shut up no one is buying he is back until he proves it in the ring not in the media and by these ass clowns like Roach saying he is destroying sparring partners he couldn’t even drop Rios or anyone else since 09.

Bradley took Mannys power so getting Koed probably wont happen. Ruslan tagged him good and he kept coming. Manny will have his hands full and I think its mighty arrogant for them to be looking past Bradley and even talking about Marquez 5 or Floyd for that matter. Manny hast dropped anyone since 09. Another lost and he should hang them up and Bradley is one tough SOB so he is not walking all over him Bradley just whopped Marquez who KTFO of Manny so he is flying high…

I doubt Pacquiao piss the judges off right before the fight like he did last time. I doubt Pac will only fight for 30 seconds per round this time, either…. Tim better keep his chin tucked in if he opts to stand and trade with Pac. Otherwise he might be the one getting knocked out… Both guys have suffered damage since their last fight, but Bradley beat the man who beat the man. That had to be a confidence lifter by its self.

Don’t talk about outbox! Pacman is an offensive machine. Boxing won’t work if you got an offensive fighter with speed and power.

No folks. Bradley wins this comfortably. PAC may rock him one time with a lucky one but Bradley will outbox PAC for the most part of 12 rounds.

I scored the first fight 7 to 5 for Pacquiao, it wasn’t nearly as one sided as most say…I saw Pac miss a lot of punches, mainly cause Bradley knows how to move, yes, Bradley lost that fight but I think he gave Pac enough trouble to where he might be able to give him more trouble this time around. Bradley decided to brawl with Provo to prove a point, we saw him box against Marquez and he did well…we’re going to see that version of Bradley on the 12th. My pick. Bradley via SD.

Now, a new study indicates that university research (and the funding that supports it) is more than fodder for headlines—rather, it’s a “key component of the US economic ecosystem.”
Conducted by researchers from the American Institutes for Research, Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and Ohio State University, the study, published in Science, found that the economic impact of science funding extends far past the scientific community.
“The process of scientific research supports organizations and jobs in many of the high skill sectors of our economy,” write the researchers. Several key findings, detailed below, explain why.
University research = jobs.You know what they say about those who assume. The majority of workers supported by federal research funds are not, as many incorrectly assume, faculty members; rather, the study found that fewer than one in five are faculty researchers. According to the CIC release detailing the results, “Workers with many different skill levels are employed, and these are not primarily faculty.” Instead, one in three is a student—grad or undergrad—and one in ten a post-doctoral fellow.
University research = spending that stretches beyond state lines. The new dataset used by the research team revealed that universities receiving federal research funds spend those dollars throughout the United States. In fact, close to 70 percent is spent outside of the institution’s home state. Expenditures with US vendors and subcontractors (“everything from test tubes to telescopes and microscopes to gene sequencing machines”) in 2012 tallied almost $1 billion—15 percent of which were located in the university’s home county, 15 percent in the home state, and the balance (that whopping 70 percent) devoted to vendors located across the country.
University research = spending that benefits companies of all sizes. The impact of research spending reaches enterprises both big and small. Many of the vendors were large companies, but the study’s authors note, “we were struck by how many are small, niche, high-technology companies…”
University research = scientific solutions to real-world problems outside the research community (and the data to support it!). It’s no secret that the work of scientists and engineers impacts the everyday life of every living being. (See also: “Google veep: Advances in science, engineering vital in meeting global energy challenges.”) But that doesn’t mean we always recognize it, which is where the study’s detailed data gives applying such work the assist. “Research universities are dedicated to the discovery of new knowledge,” says co-author Roy Weiss, deputy provost for research at the University of Chicago. “This study reports the first cooperative endeavor by multiple universities to evaluate the benefit of government investment in research. In addition to making the world a better place by virtue of these discoveries, we now have data to support the overall benefits to society.”
“The main purpose of science funding isn’t as a jobs or stimulus program, but this study shows there are also major short-term economic benefits to science funding,” says Bruce Weinberg, co-author and professor of economics at Ohio State.
Regardless, with findings that show the vitality of research funding to the economic ecosystem, it’s hard to think that this new research won’t be an integral part of any effort to increase (or, at the very least, maintain) support for university research funds in the States.
“This study provides evidence that while science is complicated, it is not magic. It is productive work. Scientific endeavors employ people. They use capital inputs. Related economic activity occurs immediately,” adds Julia Lane, lead researcher and senior managing economist at the American Institutes for Research. “Policy makers need to have an understanding of how science is produced when making resource allocation decisions, and this study provides that information in a reliable and current fashion.”

Antietam Anniversary
15092008
I’m back from Sharpsburg, where the Sharpsburg Historical Society put on their annual Heritage Days festival. I drove down Friday evening with my friend Mike, and met up with SHAF president Tom Clemens to set up our booth behind the German Reformed Church (UCC) early Saturday morning. We manned the booth until it was time for us to head up the street to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church for our talks at 2:00 and 3:00 PM respectively. Prior to that, fellow bloggers Mannieand Brianshowed up at the booth, Mannie only briefly to snap a few photos before heading back to the battlefield for his rangerin’ duties. (By the way, I will never, ever submit my readers to photos of my ugly mug, so you’re safe here.) While about 20 folks were in attendance at beautiful St. Paul’s for Tom’s talk on Shepherdstown, only 8 stuck around for my program. And three of them were friends of mine! But I hope everyone enjoyed the presentation, and a fairly lively Q&A ensued regardless. I also realized that this fourth presentation of a version of my Threads program took place in the fourth different state, the others being PA, NC, & OH. Tom, Mike, Brian, and I capped the day off with a nice dinner at Captain Bender’s in town, then I took Mike on a ride around the area, visiting the National Cemetery, the Pry farm, the Upper Bridge, Shepherdstown’s Cement Mill ruins, Ferry Hill Place, and Lee’s HQ before returning to our motel in Martinsburg.
Due to a SHAF board manpower shortage, I again returned to the Festival early Sunday morning to set up the booth while Mike went back to the park for a tour. Good friend Chris Army came down and visited for awhile after attending the early morning Ranger Walk, helping to take my mind off the mid 90’s (heat and humidity) conditions. A couple board members showed up around lunchtime, and Tom provided me with a super letter by and photo of a 14th Brooklyn soldier who returned to the battlefield in March 1862 – I’ll be posting it later. Mike and I then went up to the VC at the park and took a quick walk along the Union Attack Trail on the east side of Burnside’s Bridge – then it was back on the road for home. I got here around 7:30. High winds kicked in: the power went out in the 2nd quarter of the Steelers-Browns game, and I awoke this morning to a Black & Gold victory and some vinyl siding missing from the house. Take the good with the bad.
Anyway, gotta get caught up, including writing my reviews-in-brief for America’s Civil War. Back to posting after that.

I was there with the family yesterday and had I known I would have introduced myself. After leaving the festival, we went to the park and I too ran into Ranger Mannie and we talked for a while and my daughter talked about Clara Barton.
I visited Antietam Battlefield this weekend and wrote about it on my blog. Since the battlefield is in a remote area, it has been less impacted by development than many other battlefields like Manassas and remains a great monument to those who died there.

About
Hello! I’m Harry Smeltzer and welcome to Bull Runnings, where you'll find my digital history project on the First Battle of Bull Run which is organized under the Bull Run Resources section. I'll also post my thoughts on the processes behind the project and commentary on the campaign, but pretty much all things Civil War are fair game. You'll only find musings on my “real job” or my personal life when they relate to this project. My mother always told me "never discuss politics or religion in mixed company”, and that's sound advice where current events are concerned.
The Project
This site is more than a blog. Bull Runnings also hosts digitized material pertaining to First Bull Run. In the Bull Run Resources link in the masthead and also listed below are links to Orders of Battle, After Action Reports, Official Correspondence, Biographical Sketches, Diaries, Letters, Memoirs, Newspaper Accounts and much, much more. Take some time to surf through the material. This is a work in process with no end in sight, so check back often!

Chaos, disorder, volatility, turmoil, errors, and uncertainty – among other factors commonly perceived as negative – are not necessarily our enemies. Nassim Nicholas Taleb points out once again in his latest masterwork, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder, that we live in a “Black Swan” world where unpredictable events that have maximum impact on our lives happen necessarily and, well, unpredictably. These events are “Black Swans” in Taleb’s prose. In our complex, modern lives, these factors – chaos, disorder, volatility, turmoil, errors and uncertainty – are not a matter of choice; they exist and in ever-increasing quantities. We will run into them, or they will run into us. So, instead of positioning ourselves against them, why not use them as “friends” or at least as “allies” in our development of self?
Gifted people have big agendas – they want to learn and accomplish so much in life! However, without understanding how to best manage their energy, they often find themselves burning out or otherwise not concentrating well, not accomplishing what they want, and not being satisfied with themselves. Learn about how I help my gifted clients learn to better understand and manage their energy to increase productivity, creativity, self-care and self-esteem.
Often accompanied by an intense inner disharmony, giftedness has more than once been confused with pathology in the course of history. Kazimierz Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration offers an astoundingly positive and hopeful approach to understanding the seemingly pathological disharmony that the gifted often experience. Rather than mental weakness or illness, he argues that this inner disharmony is the great catalyst of self-actualization.
Many of us conceptualize “struggle” as “bad.” In our limited view, we consider that to struggle means to be in pain, and that to be in pain is bad. But it is exactly this reasoning that has caused so many of us to fall repeatedly into cycles of struggle recreation (often called self-defeating behavior patterns): to avoid struggle is to short-circuit a natural and necessary growth process, keeping us in a “Groundhog Day” pattern of personal and relational problems. How can we resolve this dilemma?
The little girl with no needs. The little boy who takes care of mom. Premature maturity, is in fact, no escape from having needs or needing to be taken care of. It is not an escape from being a child, and it is in fact, not often maturity at all. Premature maturity is something else more painful: it is our childish attempt to buy (negotiate) a sense of security in a world of confusion, chaos, pain, death, illness, and feelings of loneliness and abandon. If we are just mature enough, maybe someone will care, will love us, will help us. Or if we are just strong enough, maybe the family can stay together, mom can get better, dad will love us, we’ll find our place in life.

This Grubski challenge is silly simple. Buy a steak and cook it. Could be any cut, could be any type of meat. Get creative if you can. Would love to learn some new methods. Shoutout to past participants. See my submission in the comments. I'll run this till Feb 1st. Don't be afraid to participate.
For Christmas my brother gifted me a sous vide cooker. I'm new to all this, but I'm instantly hooked. Tonight I cooked a meal for my mother and my family.
New York Strip, couscous, guacamole and sliced chicken thigh
Placed chicken thighs in a bag with olive oil, some soy sauce and rosemary sprigs. Did the same with the strip.
Then they cooked for 2 hours in 139 degree, circulating water. My phone alerted me when they were done. -Internet of things. Yay!
Then I finished them in a crap ton of butter:
The strip was amazing and the chicken thighs are more like duck breast than chicken thigh.
Made some fresh guac and some couscous, thinly sliced the chicken and garnished with it. Crispy on the outside and so succulent on the inside. I took red wine and scraped the pan with the butter and used it as a garnishing sauce. The strip was perfection and had a subtle rosemary flavor.

La Noche Grande de Sanjaya
Just two competitors are making any noise on "American Idol" this season: Melinda Doolittle and Sanjaya Malakar.
Melinda, the remaining professional backup singer in this year's competition is, not surprisingly, far and away the best overall performer, and each week her song choices are flawless, if old.
Melinda also moves most comfortably in the stilettos the show's dresser seems intent on inflicting on all the women this edition. Really, if the chicks all have to try to dance around in four-inch heels, lose the risers on stage -- or put all the guys on stilts. It's only fair.
On Latin night, Melinda finally finds a look that really suits her: short hair, little black dress, diamond necklace that gives her the illusion of a neck. She looks lovely, as judge Paula Abdul notes.
Also on Latin night, Melinda finally trades in her bag of tics: singing out of one side of her mouth, her I'm a little teapot body crunch, starting quietly and building to the belting out of glory notes at the end of every song
Her performance of Latin standard "Sway" is by far her most sophisticated, controlled and subtle to date. Naturally, judge simon Cowell hates it, saying it lacked her usual "wow factor."
But Simon, like the other judges, appears to be speaking in riddles this season. Recently, when he said he was going to try a "new tactic" with Sanjaya, pronouncing his performance "incredible," Simon was acknowledging what viewers had suspected for weeks -- the judges were pulling punches lest harsh comments cause fans to vote for weaker singers. Like Sanjaya.
It's a dangerous strategy for the judges to try to snooker viewers. But apparently the producers think it's less dangerous for the franchise that has put Fox in first place among young viewers two seasons in a row, than if Sanjaya wins this year's competition, given how many people claim to be voting for him because they think he's so bad.
Sanjaya, who infiltrated the "American Idol" inner sanctum by bamboozling the judges into believing he was a sweet, immature kid with a sweet, immature voice, has completely co-opted the show.
Is anyone talking about Blake Lewis at the water cooler today? LaKisha Jones? Jordin Sparks? Haley Scarnato? (Okay, maybe they're talking about how if Haley's outfits gets any skimpier she'll be naked next week.)
Meanwhile, you can't troll the Web without being bombarded by Sanjaya fashion stories; Sanjaya op-ed pieces; long blogs on The Meaning of Sanjaya; stories on how Sanjaya's Pettable Locks are being done up week after week in a succession of hair tributes to Abdul, Diana Ross and Fred Astaire; the infamous Ponyhawk.
This week is no exception. When last week's results broadcast revealed Sanjaya had cut his Pettable Hair, people wondered whether the producers had told the show's stylist to cut it, in hopes it would sap Sanjaya's power over little girls with cell phones who vote.
But just when you thought Sanjaya had made a fatal follicle error, he goes and sprouts scraggly facial hair in tribute to guest mentor Jennifer Lopez's husband, Marc Anthony. It's genius. Judge Randy Jackson called him "The smartest contestant we've ever had."
Sanjaya is also the show's gutsiest competitor this season - maybe ever. This week, for instance, he is the only Idolette who attempts to sing Spanish lyrics, choosing the lovely "Besame Mucho." Sure, he makes goo-goo eyes at the camera. Yes, his voice trails off in parts. But while all the other Idolettes are spinning tightly in their comfort zones each week, Sanjaya's flinging himself all over the musical landscape. And yes, it's a lot of fun to watch.

“For me, in spite of seeing the likes of AB and Virat right now the way he is playing, I don’t think anything can overcome that feeling of watching Paaji (Sachin Tendulkar) bat. The sweetness with which he times the ball, and there is a finesse in the way he bats. It just feels good in the heart,” said Robin Uthappa.
When Harsha Bhogle asked Gautam Gambhir to pick his favourite player from the current lot, Gambhir went to pick the South African star AB De Villiers.
Robin Uthappa picked Virat Kohli not only on the basis of how he has evolved as a batsman but also as an individual.
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan named Virat Kohli as his favourite Indian player from the present generation but when it came to all time favourite Indian player, he choosed Rahul Dravid. Mohammad Rafique was Shakib Al Hasan’s favourite Bangladesh Player.
New Zealand speedstar Trent Boult chose South Africa speedstar Dale Steyn as the best current cricketer in the world. While Chris Woakes opted James Anderson as best current bowler, picked AB De Villiers as best current batsman.

Ghost released their second album INFESTISSUMAM on April 16th, 2013 via Loma Vista Recordings. The 10-song offering was produced by Grammy® Award winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains) in Nashville, TN and debuted at #1 on the iTunes Rock Album Chart. SPIN called the album, “one of the most anticipated heavy metal albums of 2013” and Pitchfork praised its “addictive as sin” hooks. Rolling Stone described their sound as “somewhere between Mastodon and Metallica, with a heavy dose of Swedish synth mixed in.” In November of 2013, the band released If You Have Ghost, a five track EP recorded and produced by Dave Grohl, including cover versions of songs by Roky Erickson, ABBA, Army of Lovers, and Depeche Mode. Ghost have toured the U.S. Extensively and appeared at various music festivals across the country, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Rock on the Range.

“The band has done more to bring blasphemous, religion-skewering devil rock to the mainstream masses than perhaps any act since Marilyn Manson rose from the swamps of Florida to declare himself the Antichrist Superstar.” – ROLLING STONE

March 8 (Bloomberg) -- Under Armour Inc. will provide
jerseys and other team apparel to Tottenham Hotspur, giving the
U.S. sportswear maker its first contract with a club in soccer’s
richest league.
“This allows us to create a media vehicle in a market
where we are under-penetrated,” Mark Dowley, Under Armour’s
executive vice president, global brand and president of
international, said today in an interview in London.
The Baltimore-based company, which exceeded $1 billion in
annual sales for the first time last year, said it will take
over from the English Premier League team’s current supplier,
Puma AG, at the start of the 2012-13 season.
Tottenham, which has Wales national team member Gareth Bale
and Dutch World Cup player Rafael van der Vaart in its squad,
qualified for the Champions League for the first time after
finishing fourth in England’s top division last season. It plays
Italian league leader AC Milan in the second match of their
round-of-16 encounter tomorrow after a 1-0 win in Italy on Feb.
15.
The north London club had been “at the top of our play
book,” Dowley said. Under Armour is looking to sign more deals
with soccer clubs in the Premier League as well as in the rest
of Europe, he added.
“They are an extremely ambitious brand with global
aspirations, making them ideal partners for Tottenham Hotspur,”
Daniel Levy, Tottenham’s chairman, said in a statement on the
club’s website.
Under Armour has been expanding agreements with sports
teams and athletes in recent years to increase its market share
outside the U.S. As well as having deals with New England
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Olympic downhill champion
Lindsey Vonn to market its cotton performance sportswear, it
provides apparel for the Wales rugby union team.

KALAMAZOO, MI - Muthanna Yaqoob, his wife and two kids have infused their
American life with traditions and tokens from Iraq.
But they have been preparing to say goodbye to their American life and even each other after Yaqoob's Iraqi government-funded scholarship was cut in fall 2012, more than a year before he earns his degree.
Yaqoob is a 39-year-old doctoral student at Western Michigan University, one of dozens who have come from the Middle Eastern country on a scholarship program aimed at rebuilding Iraq's higher education system. After
years of instability and war in Iraq, Yaqoob applied for the scholarship and moved his family to Kalamazoo
in 2008 for a better education, and paved the way as WMU's first Iraqi student. Last August, however, his scholarship was unexpectedly cut, the result of changes to the scholarship rules.
Yaqoob is studying on a J-1 student visa,
which does not allow him to work. His wife, Wafaa Abbas, has a J-2 visa, which allows her
to work but she is struggling to find a job, which is why she is
considering returning to Iraq to work.
"We have no money here and I have applied everywhere," she said.
Yaqoob's family in Iraq have been helping them make ends meet, but they cannot continue to burden them, he said.The reality of his family being split apart is becoming more of a reality.
“I’m preparing for that but I cannot live without them,” Yaqoob said,
pointing to an oil-on-canvas painting he made of his wife, which hangs
in their apartment living room. “It will be damaging for me; the walls
will kill me if I’m here alone.”
An American Life
When Yaqoob first came to America in 2008, he was told that he would be hated and says he mentally prepared for confrontation. His time in Kalamazoo has been different than what he expected.
“On
the contrary, I didn’t find that," he said. "I found people were
friendly and most people expressed being sorry for being involved in the
war and for their government. This hatred and aggression is basically
fueled by the government to the people. The common people do not have
this hatred.”
At 5:10 p.m., a
voice singing prayers streams from their computer speakers, reminding
the family of the Maghrib
prayer, the fourth of five daily prayers practiced in Islam.
Abbas misses her mother, with whom she often video-chats when an internet connection is available. They attend a local mosque and have made friends.
Belsem, Yaqoob's 11-year-old daughter, said getting used to boys in her classes was an adjustment when she started school, as boys and girls were taught in separate classrooms in Iraq. She says she’s asked by her peers why she wears a hijab, or a Muslim headdress.
Abbas receives similar questions about her hijab, but says she enjoys answering questions about her culture and religion.

She doesn’t worry about her children being influenced by American culture.
“I’m going to teach them about Islam, my culture, and how to deal with Christians and the Jewish,” she said. “We want them to learn the good stuff but not the drug dealing and alcohol habits, just like any other parent. Any other culture you have bad and good. You have that in our culture too, but I’m going to teach them that we need to deal with this.”
Yaqoob’s 13-year-old son, Humam, plans to go to college, preferably in America and is concerned about the future of his education when he returns to Iraq.
"In terms of jobs and science opportunities, America has the
No. 1 in those categories," Yaqoob said. "I can find a better job as a geologist
or a researcher and for my kids and wife also, it's a better education for
them."

Okay, I'm a nut. Maybe I'm just a foodie. I love to look at pictures of food and all these creative people getting up at the crack of dawn to make beautiful healthy food for their children is really very inspiring.
Run your fingers over to http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ and go to the archives and start reading.I can't wait for her cook book to come out and I'm not even Vegan. What I find unique about Jennifershmoo's site is that her young son rates his lunch. Jennifer lets us know what he ate and what he liked. I like that. I like that such a young child will try so many different kinds of food too! My hat is off to Jennifershmoo!
I teach 3 yr olds. I always repack whatever they don't eat so their mom's will know if they like their lunch or not. Some mom's would rather I just dumped the leftovers, but I feel responsible for letting them know if their kid is eating or not.
Personally I wish there were more information out there about food and behavior.
My oldest is now 18, but she is still allergic to peanuts and soy products. When she was small if she ate peas she would become a whiney mess within 10 minutes. I have taught kids who after lunch are dazed, they walk around as if they are in a fog, they don't listen and sometimes have mood swings. Were they just tired or did they have a reaction to what they ate for lunch? I'd like to know.
Back to the web, I'm busy searching for a pumpkin cookie/granola bar/protein bar that doesn't have peanut or soy in it. I'd like the oldest to be able to eat it too.

On one of the lists that I am on we have been talking about grief.We are a fiber group but we don't discourage off topic discussions.
When my dad passed away from pancreatic cancer I thought I'd grieved over the 11 months mom helped him live with that horrible cancer.I was strong for my mom.I had a wonderful dream where my dad came to say goodbye to me and he told me he was okay.Several months later at the funeral for another family member, one I was not very close too, I broke down. I finally really cried. I didn't have to be strong. I didn't have to be angry.
My dad died over 8 years ago.My mom had a yard sale this weekend.
How does this relate?Well, she opened the closet downstairs where she had stored a lot of his clothing.She was surprised.She thought she had given most of his clothing away.(His cowboy boots to a bookfair display and some of his suits to Seminary students. Other shoes to DAV.)
Today, she sold some of dads clothing at the yard sale and it was okay.
It was strange to look upon his cowboy hat sitting in the sun with a price tag on it and feel okay.The sun was bright.The air crisp.The hat brought warm feelings and memories of Dad and DD1 both in their cowboy hats.Dad with a grin on his face.
The hat didn't sell.We put it back inside the house, mom will hang on to it a bit longer, and that's okay.

Smart Mesh in Unleashed?
As I read from the release notes, the Master AP and Standby master AP can't be Mesh AP's or Ethernet-linked Mesh AP's.
Taking that into account, how many AP's minimum is needed to take advantage of mesh at all? Eth-linked Master, Eth-linked Backup Master, Eth-linked Mesh, and Mesh? Four AP's to avoid only one cabled link? Is that correct?
You could have only 1 Master (Root AP) and one Mesh AP. Only downside is, then you wouldn't have a Standby Master in that case, so no redundancy; if the Master goes down the whole network (only 2 APs in this case) would be down.
You can also have - and I think this would be the recommended deployment - 1 Master, 1 Standby (both Root APs with wired Ethernet connection) and 1~23 Mesh APs.
1. For an AP to be a Master or Standby it MUST have Ethernet cable connected2. Both Master and Standby AP or any Member AP can become a Root AP as long as they have Ethernet cable connected
If you have only two Unleashed APs in your network you can still create a Mesh network. In other words, AP with Ethernet connected will act as Master + Root AP. The AP without Ethernet cable will be a Mesh AP (piggy backing on to Master/Root AP). However, since Mesh AP has "no Ethernet" it can't be a Standby AP.

The Sarries finished fourth in the preliminary rounds while Quins ended up a place below them. Impala won the first round with inside centre Ishmael Mokaya and man of the match Ian Minjire scoring sizzler tries in a 10-8 win.
“Quins fancy their setpiece and are always competitive at breakdowns – largely around the border of the law. Their Saturday team has experienced operators in Joseph Kangethe, Anthony Mutai, Lyle Asiligwa, Isaac Adimo, Patrice Agunda, David Ambunya, Dennis Muhanji and so on, says the Gazelles’ director of rugby, Fred Ollows.
“There will be good support from the replacements including Herman Humwa, Brian Okwomi, and Frank Wanyama. However, we’ll find a way to win.”
Kenya scrum half, Samson Onsomu, leads out the side that came from a 9-all draw at KCB Sports Club, Ruaraka, last weekend. Kenya lock Erick Kerre and openside winger Ian Minjire are the only changes to the starting side. They replace Kevin Okeyo, who is on the bench and Kenya fullback Vincent Mose who is out the day squad, altogether.

The cause of an accident at at the intersection of State Road 160 and Liberty Church Road Saturday morning is not known.
Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Roger Newlon said brothers, Noah Wengerd, 19 and Menno Wengerd 7, were traveling west on State Road 160 when the buggy they were driving was struck in the rear by a 2002 Ford Explorer.
The explorer was driven by Jetta Mull, 31.
Newlon said the brothers were just leaving a residence where they had picked up chainsaw chains that they recently had sharpened.
While there was plenty of fog in the area Saturday morning, Newlon said it wasn't a factor in the accident.
“It was actually pretty clear and on a straight stretch were the accident occurred,” he said.
Newlon said Mull, who was also traveling west bound, didn't see the buggy and struck it in the rear.
Newlon said alcohol was not a factor, but the cause of the accident is still being investigated.
Scene re constructionist from the Indiana State Police were called to the scene. Newlon said it will take a week or more to get results from that back.
“Once I get the information from them, I will see what we are going to do from there,” Newlon said. “They will come in and pin-point speed and all that.”
The speed limit on the stretch of road according to Newlon was 45 miles per hour.
Mull was not injured in the accident.
Newlon said the accident happened at at 9 a.m. And the call came into the sheriff's department at 9:04 a.m.
Saturday's accident is a good opportunity to warn motorist to be aware of Amish travelers in the community.
Newlon said they have reflectors on the back of their buggies and they usually travel on the shoulder of the road if one is provided.
He said he thinks the best approach for avoiding accidents such as this is for motorist to be informed about where the Amish in the community live.
“We have a lot of Amish out in the area where this happened on 160 between State Road 56,” he said. “People need to know when they are in those areas there are likely to be buggies on the road.”
Assisting on the scene were the ISP reconstructionist, Washington County Coroner Rondale Brishaber, Washington County EMTs and Franklin Township First Responders.

MÁV Cargo aims to keep top spot after market deregulation
bbj.hu
Thursday, September 28, 2006, 18:00
MÁV Cargo Zrt, the freight unit of state-owned railway company MÁV Zrt, aims to maintain its leading position on Hungary’s rail freight market even after it is deregulated from the start of 2007, CEO Tamás Kozák said on Thursday.
MÁV Cargo currently controls about 85% of the market. This year, MÁV Cargo started a seven-year, Ft 16 billion-Ft 18 billion project to renovate its rolling stock. The company's 13,000 rail vehicles are 13 years old on average. MÁV Cargo registered 8.6 billion ton-kilometers in 2005, 2% more than in 2004, Kozák noted. Based on first-half figures, the company will maintain this pace of growth in 2006 as well. The company targets revenue of Ft 90 billion in 2006, up from Ft 86.3 billion in 2005. In answer to a question, Kozák said MÁV Cargo has an EBIDTA rate of 2%-3%. He added that the company has reduced its cost-to-revenue ratio by an annual 4%-5% this year. Kozák noted that track fees account for about one-third of MÁV Cargo's costs. He added that the company has taken legal measures against a decision by the Hungarian Railway Office on discounted track fees. MÁV Cargo would like to see a predictable rail fee policy in Hungary, which would boost the competitiveness of the country and the whole region, Kozák said. Asked how MÁV Cargo's strategy fits with a government decision in July to privatize the company, Kozák said the company had worked out a strategy that would be acceptable to any new owner.

Churchill and the Islamic World: Orientalism, Empire and Diplomacy in the Middle EastWarren Dockter
Winston Churchill began his career as a junior officer and war correspondent in the North West borderlands of British India, and this experience was the beginning of his long relationship with the Islamic world. Overturning the widely-accepted consensus that Churchill was indifferent to, and even contemptuous of, matters concerning the Middle East, this book unravels Churchill's nuanced understanding of the edges of the British Empire.
Warren Dockter analyses the future Prime Minister's experiences of the East, including his work as Colonial Under-Secretary in the early 1900s, his relations with the Ottomans and conduct during the Dardanelles Campaign of 1915, his arguments with David Lloyd-George regarding Turkey, and his pragmatic support of Syria and Saudi Arabia during World War II. Challenging the popular depiction of Churchill as an ignorant imperialist when it came to the Middle East, Dockter suggests that his policy making was often more informed and relatively progressive when compared to the Orientalist prejudices of many of his contemporaries.
Book Details:
Warren Dockter is a Research Fellow at Clare Hall, Cambridge and lecturer at the University of London, Royal Holloway. He is a historian who studies British Imperialism and international relations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially concerning the Middle East. He is also an expert on Winston Churchill and is the Academic Officer for the International Churchill Society (UK) and a contributor to Churchillcentral.com and the Daily Telegraph.
Warren Dockter is a graduate of the University of Tennessee and gained his PhD at the University o...More about Warren Dockter

Between waking up before Fajr to go to school, all of my classes, tests, teachers, extracurriculars, homework, and family, sometimes I feel like I don’t have time for anything else. Least of all Quran. However, learning and reading Quran are as important as breathing and something we, as Muslim youth, should make an effort to do. Quran provides us with guidance, washes away our sins, adds barakah to our day, and can be done everyday in easy, effective ways.
My mother once told me a story about a boy my age who had a very wise grandfather. One day the boy asked him why he had to do Quran everyday. So everyday, his grandfather would tell him to take a bucket to a lake, fill it up with water, and then bring it back to him. However, this bucket had many holes in it and all the water would leak out by the time he got home. The boy did this everyday at his grandfather’s instruction until one day, in great exasperation, he asked his grandfather what the point was in bringing water if all of it was going to just leak through. His grandfather responded by asking him to look at the bucket. The boy did and he saw that the bucket was immaculate. Not everyone understands Arabic or like me, is still learning and gets frustrated when they don’t understand every single thing. But that’s okay. Even reading a little bit of Quran washes away our sins. Learning Quran also adds barakah to our lives. It’s one of the blessing that Allah gave us. After reading a little bit of Quran I always feel a little more peaceful and ready to be productive.
I always felt that I had too much to do and if I took out time to do Quran I would not be able to finish. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Taking out even 15 to 20 minutes out of your day is not only easy but also enough time for you to benefit from the blessings of Allah’s book. One of my favorite things to do is listen to tafseer of surahs while I eat my meals or ride in the car on my way to practice/school/home. You don’t have to take notes or finish the entire tafseer. You can watch or listen to 20 minutes a day and reflect on what was said. Reading a section of a surah in Arabic and then reading it’s meaning is another great way to incorporate Quran in your daily life. The Quran is overflowing with wisdom and guidance and is only a touch away on our phones and electronics.
This unaltered book is much more than Arabic words. This book is God’s words, a blessing, a gift , and something not to miss. Taking a few minutes out of the day to reach up to the beautifully wrapped book on your bookshelf (or downloading an app) is an easy way for us to receive the mercy and guidance from God’s book, the Quran, to add peace and barakah to our daily lives, and to wash away our sins.

Hong Kong SAR's economy benefitted from a strong cyclical upswing through the first half of 2018, supported by the continued global recovery, buoyant domestic sentiment, and the booming property market. However, near-term risks have significantly increased - including those from trade tensions, tighter global financial conditions, and capital outflows from emerging markets. Also, long-term challenges, including from aging, elevated inequality, and the persistent housing shortage, need to be tackled. Prudent macroeconomic policies and ample buffers are in place to help smoothen the transition and ensure continued stability.

Tardigrade ANIMAL
They are hardy little creatures. There are over 1,100 different species which can live in a variety of environments such as sand, fresh water, and the sea. Some eat plants and others eat meat. They may reproduce sexually or asexually. They can survive extremely low temperatures and dry conditions. During extremely dry conditions, their bodies can go into a “tun” state where their bodies dry out and form a lifeless balls. They may survive in a tun state for decades and possibly centuries until their environment becomes more hospitable and they rehydrate. They can also survive without air, helium, exposed for several hours to a temperature of -272C, and 21 months in liquid air at a temperature of 190C. Tardigrades are easily distributed by wind and water while in the tun state. Click here to read the full article or an excerpt below.
A scanning electron micrograph of a tardigrade, or water bear. Tardigrades are invertebrates that … are related to: invertebrate, flatworm, mollusk,
Tardigrade (phylum Tardigrada), also called water bear or moss piglet, any of more than 1,100 species of free-living tiny invertebrates belonging to the phylum Tardigrada. They are considered to be close relatives of arthropods (e.g., insects, crustaceans). Tardigrades are mostly about 1 mm (0.04 inch) or less in size. They live in a variety of habitats worldwide: in damp moss, on flowering plants, in sand, in fresh water, and in the sea. In adapting to this wide range of external conditions, a large number of genera and species have evolved.
Tardigrades have a well-developed head region and a short body composed of four fused segments, with each segment bearing a pair of short, stout, unjointed limbs generally terminated by several sharp claws. The animals have no known specialized organs of circulation or respiration; the tardigrade’s body cavity (hemocoel) is filled with fluid that transports blood and oxygen (the latter of which diffuses through the animal’s integument and is stored in cells within the hemocoel). The alimentary canaltraverses the body from end to end. Most plant-eating tardigrades feed by piercing individual plant cells with their stylets (spearlike structures near the mouth) and then sucking out the cell contents. A few tardigrades are predatory carnivores. Tardigrades may reproduce sexually or through asexual reproduction (by means of parthenogenesis or through self-fertilization [hermaphroditism]). Eggs are discharged either into the posterior end of the alimentary canal or directly to the exterior through an opening in front of the anus.
The most remarkable feature of the tardigrades is their ability to withstand extremely low temperatures and desiccation (extreme drying). Under unfavourable conditions, they go into a state of suspended animation called the “tun” state—in which the body drys out and appears as a lifeless ball (or tun). In this state their metabolism may decline to as little as 0.01 percent of its normal rate. Tardigrades can survive as tuns for years, or even decades, to wait out dry conditions. In addition, specimens kept for eight days in a vacuum, transferred for three days into helium gas at room temperature, and then exposed for several hours to a temperature of −272 °C (−458 °F) came to life again when they were brought to normal room temperature. Sixty percent of specimens kept for 21 months in liquid air at a temperature of −190 °C (−310 °F) also revived. Tardigrades are easily distributed by wind and water while in the tun state.

An Ohio judge filed suit today against a Cleveland newspaper that said she may have commented anonymously on its Web site about cases before the court.
Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold and her daughter, Sydney Saffold, are seeking $50 million from the Plain Dealer and Advance Internet for disclosing private information. The complaint alleges that the Plain Dealer conspired with the entities that controlled the site's confidential registration database to release information that was promised to be anonymous, according to a statement issued by the judge's lawyer, Brian Spitz
"I'm very disappointed that Sydney became publically involved after the Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com broke their promise not to disclose our personal information," Judge Saffold said in the statement.
The Cuyahoga County judge may have used the newspaper's site, Cleveland.com, to post up to 80 comments under stories, including ones regarding cases Saffold was presiding over, the newspaper said. According to Saffold and her attorney, Spitz, any comments from the username "lawmiss" connected to cases involving Saffold were most likely left by the judge's 23-year-old daughter, Sydney, an aspiring law student.
"She is judicially precluded from commenting on any case before her," Spitz said of Judge Saffold.
The suit, said Spitz, is based on the contractual promises in the newspaper's Privacy Statement, "which expressly provides in the first paragraph that the website will 'protect your privacy.' The Privacy Policy also expressly provides that "personally identifying information is protected."
The username "lawmiss" is connected to an e-mail account registered to Judge Saffold, according to Goldberg, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Spitz contends that this is in fact a family e-mail account set up by Saffold's ex-husband.
"The account was jointly set up," Spitz said, adding that he isn't even certain other members of the family, including the ex-husband, didn't also leave comments on the Web site under the username.
"I haven't talked with ex-husband or anybody else in the family yet -- there's 80 comments and I haven't been able to sit down and go through every comment yet," he said.
Spitz also said that Judge Saffold may have used the name to comment on other stories, including perhaps stories on the Cleveland Browns football team, but that was something he was still trying to determine with his clients as they go through the list of comments
The comments came to light on March 26, after the newspaper reported that a user going by the name "lawmiss" connected to the e-mail address of Judge Saffold had allegedly made "opinionated online comments relating to some of the judge's high-profile cases, including that of accused serial killer Anthony Sowell."
"We filed a public records request and found that a computer in the judge's office was on the Web site at the time three of the comments was left," Goldberg said, adding they were unable to track any of the other comments to a specific location.
Judge Saffold is presiding over the capitol-murder case of Sowell, 50, accused of killing 11 women. The trial is in preliminary stages. According to reports, Sims wants Safford to recuse herself from the case and have it moved to a different county. This came after the Plain Dealer reported "lawmiss" allegedly wrote about Sims after the sentencing of one of his clients, a transit driver sentenced to six months for vehicular homicide.
"Rufus Sims did a disservice to his client," the Nov. 21, 2009, post said according to the paper. "If only he could shut his Amos and Andy style mouth. What makes him think that is [sic] he insults and acts like buffon [sic] that it will cause the judge to think and see it his way. There are so many lawyers that could've done a much better job. This was not a tough case, folks. She should've hired a lawyer with the experience to truly handle her needs. Amos and Andy, shuffling around did not do it."
That comment was not tied to Saffold's courthouse computer, Goldberg said, and after it was allegedly posted the newspaper removed it for violating the community rules on Cleveland.com, baring personal attacks.
"Lawmiss" was originally spotted by an online editor for Cleveland.com last month, after the user allegedly posted a personal attack against a family member of a Plain Dealer reporter Jim Ewinger, Goldberg said.
"People make critical comments of the staff and we don't have a problem with that, the reason this comment was noticed was because it wasn't about the reporter, it was about the mental health of a family member of the reporter," Goldberg said, adding that she wouldn't elaborate about the comment, but did say the Ewinger had covered Judge Saffold in past reports.
Goldberg said the online editor was able to access the e-mail address registered with the name "lawmiss" and after a simple Google search, determine that address was connected to Saffold. The fact that the Web editor looked into the e-mail address associated with an anonymous commentor and tracked down a person associated with that, and the paper then reported those findings to the public has drawn the ire of some commentors on Cleveland.com.
Goldberg acknowledges that people have since complained to her about what some perceive as a violation of privacy by the editor and the paper. Goldberg said that the paper acted appropriately after discovering the e-mail allegedly is connected to Judge Saffold.
"I think we did what we had to do, based on the facts. Once you start pulling on the string, there's no way to wrap it back up into a neat ball," Goldberg said.
"The only thing we did that the public couldn't do was figure out whose e-mail was associated with those comments in the first place," Goldberg said.
According to Goldberg, two other comments allegedly posted by "lawmiss" were directly related to two death penalty cases presided over by Saffold aside from the Sowell case. Those were the RTA bus driver case in which the commentator allegedly made the comments about Sims, and a triple-murder trial that resulted in the conviction of a Cleveland firefighter.
"If a black guy had massacred five people then he would've received the death penalty," the Plain Dealer alleges lawmiss stated in a May 22, 2008, post about the sentencing the firefighter, Terrance Hough Jr., to life without parole. "A white guy does it and he gets pat on the hand. The jury didn't care about the victims. They were set to cut him loose from day one. All of them ought to be ashamed."
However, Sydney Saffold, Judge Saffold's 23-year-old daughter, stepped forward shortly after the Plain Dealer contacted Judge Safford about their findings two weeks ago to take responsibility for some of the comments.
"Sydney made comments," Spitz said to ABC News.
According to Spitz, Sydney made at least five comments under the name "lawmiss," due in part to her keen interest in her mother's cases and the judicial system in general.
"Sydney was in law school, she is currently reapplying to law school," Spitz said, adding that because of Sydney's desire to become a lawyer, she spent a lot of time sitting, watching, and talking to people in her mother's courthouse as well as watching her mother's trials, eventually leading her to comment about them on the Plain Dealer Web site.
"It's part of her interest," Spitz said.
Goldberg said she wasn't sure whether Sydney, who lives three hours away in Columbus, was responsible for the comments. Her main priority was after discovering the alleged connection to Judge Saffold to make it public to make sure she was an impartial judge.
"Judge Saffold has a very rich and colorful history in this community," Goldberg said, adding this wasn't the first time Saffold's name has surfaced in regard to the newspaper.
Saffold once ordered the arrest of a Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter who refused to give up a source and has been criticized on the newspaper's pages for some of her judicial decisions, Goldberg said. In 1996 Ewinger, the reporter whose family member's mental state was allegedly commented on by "lawmiss," reported on comments made by Judge Saffold to a woman who pleaded guilty to credit card fraud.
"Men are easy," Ewinger reported the judge allegedly told the woman. "You can go sit at the bus stop, put on a short skirt, cross your legs and pick up 25. Ten of them will give you their money. It's the truth. If you don't pick up the first 10, then all you got to do is open your legs a little bit and cross them at the bottom and then they'll stop."
In response to Ewinger's reports, Spitz said, "We think that when a newspaper drudges up alleged comments made ten years ago, it reflects on their agenda as to not reporting current events."
"Lawmiss" allegedly began posting in 2007, on a wide range of topics including the inner workings of the Cuyahoga County government, the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition, and conditions at a local golf course, Goldberg said.
If the comments allegedly regarding cases were in fact written by Judge Saffold, it would be a major ethics violation, according to Professor Christopher M. Fairman of the Ohio State Moritz College of Law.
"This is a complete violation of the code of judicial ethics if this is in fact true. She can't be doing things on her own outside the courtroom, just as we wouldn't want jurors to be forming their own opinions outside the courtroom," Fairman said.
If it was in fact the daughter, Fairman said she is a private citizen and able to do what she wants.
"However, if Judge Saffold knew her daughter was doing this, then I believe that Saffold had an obligation to act and put a stop to it," Fairman said. "I have never seen a case like this before. It is a doozy. If the mother is having her daughter fall on the sword, that is pretty unseemly."
Michael Fertik, author of the book "Wild West 2.0: How to Protect and Restore Your Reputation on the Untamed Social Frontier" and creator of Reputation Defender, a company specializing in helping people combat libel online, cautioned against a rush to judgment in this case.
"Online forensics are tough to do right. There is certainly more investigation that needs to be done before this case can be declared closed," Fertik told ABC News. "Depending on how the judge's computers are configured, several computers could appear to share an IP address. Many comment systems can also be hacked by malicious users who would to frame an innocent party."
Fertik said so-called "impersonation attacks" are among the most dangerous to a person because it is nearly impossible to prove you didn't leave a comment attributed to your e-mail account or an IP address associated with you, both of which can be manipulated.
"All too often online, many bloggers and Internet commenters will see just one piece of evidence and rush to judgment. The pitchforks and torches are out long before anything can be verified," Fertik said.
Since the Plain Dealer's first report, Advanced Internet, which runs the technical side of Cleveland.com and is owned by their parent company, has blocked the newspaper's access to e-mail addresses of commentators.
Sims, who could not be reached for comment, asked Judge Saffold to step down in four of his cases, reports say. Saffold rejected three of those requests, according to reports. On Monday Saffold said she would wait at least one more week to decide if she'll step down from the Sowell case, and Sims is considering bringing this to the Ohio Supreme Court, the Plain Dealer reported. Spitz said he could not comment on anything related to cases currently before Judge Saffold.
"This has been a very traumatic series of events for a mother and daughter," Spitz said. "The Plain Dealer should have respected the anonymity that was promised."

News
The Bangor Daily News published the latest article in the yearlong “The People Next Door” series by Sandra Butler, a professor of social work at the University of Maine, and Luisa Deprez, a professor and department chair of sociology and women and gender studies at the University of Southern Maine. “She escaped domestic violence, but now she needs to start over in Maine,” is the pair’s latest column to share stories of Mainers struggling in today’s economy.
The University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center has completed static strength testing of a 56-meter (184-foot) wind turbine blade for Gamesa, a global technological leader in the wind industry, based in Spain. The blade was manufactured in North America and delivered to the University of Maine in late August.
In the testing, the blade was subjected to loads in four directions to prove the structure met international strength standards.
The Gamesa blade was the largest tested to date in the UMaine Offshore Wind Laboratory. The full-service facility offers testing and material characterization services for every stage of blade development. The lab, which opened in 2011, was funded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Maine Technology Asset Fund through the Maine Technology Institute, and a 2010 Maine bond.
“We are honored to have served one of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers,” said Habib Dagher, director of the UMaine Composites Center. “This is the biggest structure we have tested to date, extending nearly 80 percent of the length of our blade test lab.”
“Our engineers, technicians and students did a great job designing, building and operating the equipment needed to safely rotate and test the 56-meter blade,” said John Arimond, the business development executive with the UMaine Composites Center. Arimond joined UMaine in 2013 after 28 years in industry, most recently serving as CTO of a New Zealand-based manufacturer of 500-kilowatt wind turbines.
Juan Diego Díaz, marketing director for Gamesa, said his company is excited to be partnering with UMaine for blade testing. “North America was a logical place to conduct this important step in our product development, supporting our growing commercial opportunities in that region and globally. We were impressed by the testing quality, safety and attention to detail provided by the UMaine team in successfully testing our blade,” said Díaz.
A Bangor Daily News story about events statewide for welcoming in the new year includes the children’s activities planned at the University of Maine Museum of Art. More information about the Dec. 31 UMMA family event is online.
UMaine School of Economics energy expert Jonathan Rubin was quoted in a Detroit News story on the downside of low gas prices. Rubin and other economists told the Detroit News that, while low fuel prices have short-term economic benefits, there can be serious long-term consequences, including increased sales of larger, less energy-efficient vehicles. “It’s a lost opportunity,” Rubin said. “New vehicles last for 16 years, on average. So whatever momentum we saw toward smaller cars will slow.”
The founder and faculty adviser of the community outreach organization MBS Corps at the University of Maine is this year’s recipient of the Steve Gould Award.
Nory Jones is a professor of management information systems in the Maine Business School who joined the UMaine community in September 2001.
MBS Corps was established in 2005 in the Maine Business School as a way for students to help small Maine-based nonprofit organizations while developing their leadership, organizational, management, marketing, networking and other business skills.
MBS Corps won the 2013 Active Citizenship Award from UMaine’s Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism.
This academic year, 20 students are actively involved in MBS Corps, participating in projects that include food drives to benefit community pantries, and volunteer efforts with the Ronald McDonald House, Bangor Area Homeless Shelter, Spruce Run and the Bangor Humane Society.
Most recently, MBS Corps students worked with Aunt Nellie’s Attic in Holden, the retail arm of Hammond Street Senior Center in Bangor, providing operations analysis and a marketing plan to increase revenues.
The students also have served as Troop Greeters at Bangor International Airport — an initiative Jones has been volunteering for since 2008. At UMaine, Jones chairs the UMaine Student Veterans Advisory Committee.
In nominating Jones, the staff of the Maine Business School noted that she “epitomizes the spirit, achievement and zest for life that Steve Gould espoused.”
The annual Steve Gould Award was created to honor the former UMaine police chief. Gould had a 14-year career with the Maine State Police before joining the UMaine community in 1956. During his 13 years as UMaine police chief, Gould was noted for his student-centered approach. Gould was an active community volunteer and musician who went on to serve in the Maine House of Representatives.
The Steve Gould Award will be presented to Jones as part of the Employee Recognition Luncheon in March.
The woodworking art of UMaine new media major Travis Higgins was featured in a Bangor Daily News story. Higgins makes 3-D cribbage boards using the state-of-the-art tools at UMaine’s Innovative Media Research and Commercialization (IMRC) Center.
The Portland Press Herald noted that the University of Maine Museum of Art is featuring the works of four artists — John Gallagher, Suzanne Laura Kammin, Roz Leibowitz and Matt Phillips. The exhibits are on display through Jan. 3.
Six new faculty grant projects, including two based in the community, have been funded by the University of Maine Humanities Center (UMHC).
Jordan LaBouff, assistant professor of psychology and honors, is collaborating with the Penobscot Theatre on the play End Days, opening in March as part of the Maine Science Festival. The collaboration will include panel discussions with the creative team, local faith leaders, audiences and undergraduate researchers who will measure changes in attitudes toward science and the humanities as a result of this work.
The second UMHC-funded public engagement project is led by Kirsten Jacobson, associate professor of philosophy, who has gathered a large group of Orono High School faculty and students, as well as UMaine faculty, staff and students to develop shared humanities programs in the area.
A third UMHC-funded project supports the joint work of Jennifer Moxley, professor of English, and Beth Wiemann, professor of music, who have co-authored the chamber opera Until the War Is Over, adapted from an autobiographical novel by the American poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), and set during air raids on London in World War I.
Two summer research projects also have been funded: Josh Roiland, assistant professor of communications and journalism and honors, will examine extensive manuscript material by the pioneering nonfiction and creative writer David Foster Wallace at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin; Carlos Villacorta, assistant professor of Spanish, will do archival work in Lima, Peru, on that metropolis’ distinctive poetry during an era of rapid political and economic change in the 1970s.
In the History Department, Mazie Hough, associate professor of history and director of the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, and Howard Segal, the Adelaide C. and Alan L. Bird Professor of History, will convene a series of discussions about pedagogy that will culminate with an end-of-semester conference to highlight the work of undergraduates, graduate students and faculty, and will include online publication of the best research papers by history majors in the senior seminar capstone course.
The UMaine Humanities Center, established in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2010, advances exceptional research and teaching by humanities faculty and works to share our rich resources through meaningful collaboration with communities across the state. UMHC’s next grant deadline is Jan. 26, 2015. More information about UMHC is available online (umaine.edu/umhc) or by contacting director Liam Riordan, [email protected]; 207.581.1913.
At the annual UMaine Employee Holiday Lunch on Dec. 17, the Classified Employees Advisory Council collected 277 pounds of nonperishable food items and $52 to benefit the Black Bear Exchange, the campus-based food pantry and clothing exchange. This was the second holiday donation drive coordinated by CEAC to support the Black Bear Exchange. Upward of 800 members of the UMaine community attended the lunch.
The research of Michelle Smith, assistant professor in the School of Biology and Ecology, is the focus of a National Science Foundation Discovery feature, “Rules of engagement: Transforming the teaching of college-level science.” Smith is the principal investigator on four projects and a co-principal investor on another, all aimed at improving nationwide science instruction and assessments. The Dec. 18 NSF story notes that Smith is a science education advocate and molecular biologist who “uses her analytical background to create teaching strategies that energize both students and faculty.” The story quotes UMaine faculty Mary Tyler and Farahad Dastoor, and includes photos by UMaine student Amanda Clark.
The University of Maine was highlighted in a MassLive.com story about Paperlogic, a 120-year-old paper mill in Turners Falls, Massachusetts, seeking to make new products with innovative cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) produced at the university. UMaine was recently awarded $350,000 to construct a commercial-scale CNF manufacturing plant with a capacity of 2 tons per day. The plant will accelerate CNF commercialization by making large quantities of it available to support the growth in application development activities. Paperlogic is a collaborator on the plant project that is funded by P3Nano.
Foster’s Daily Democrat carried a University of Maine Cooperative Extension release announcing that Jan. 5 is the deadline to apply for the Master Gardener Volunteer training in York County that begins Jan. 27 at the Anderson Learning Center, 21 Bradeen St., Springvale.
University of Maine Climate Change Institute scientists Paul Mayewski, Sean Birkel and Ivan Fernandez shared their research about climate change with Keith Shortall on MPBN’s Maine Calling, an interactive radio program.
Several Bangor Metro entrepreneurial award recipients are graduates of the University of Maine.
Abe and Heather Furth, who graduated in 2004, own Verve, Woodman’s Grill and The Orono Brewing Co. “Brewery tourism is growing, and we hope that our brewery will help bring more people to Orono. We think this will help Orono become the college town we know it can be,” said Heath Furth about the recent opening of the brewery.
Winner Gerry Nasberg, owner of Pat’s Pizza in Ellsworth and Bar Harbor, earned an MBA at UMaine. He says 20,000 UMaine grads who live in the Ellsworth area most likely ate a pizza or two at Pat’s when they were in school. He thought that nostalgia would attract customers and it has.
After being inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame, University of Maine graduate and football all-star John Huard spoke highly of his Black Bear teammates in a Bangor Daily News article.
“The University of Maine was phenomenal and our guys were really close … I just reflect back to the fact that we were never bigger, we were never faster or stronger, but we always found a way to win. To me that speaks volumes to the character and the type of people in Maine and at the University of Maine,” says Huard, a two-time All-Yankee Conference first-team selection, played for the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints.
Former University of Maine men’s ice hockey goalie Scott Darling was included in a Washington Post blog that recapped “Road to the NHL Winter Classic” on Epix.
Darling has made his way to the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL after he quit drinking alcohol several years ago and sought help for social anxiety. He rattled off the squads he’s been on since he left UMaine: Louisiana IceGators, Reading Royals, Florida Everblades, Mississippi RiverKings, Las Vegas Wranglers, Wheeling Nailers, Wichita Thunder, Cincinnati Cyclones, Charlotte Checkers, Hamilton Bulldogs, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Milwaukee Admirals, Rockford Ice Hogs and Chicago Blackhawks.
A professorship in petrology and mineralogy has been established in the University of Maine by UMaine research professor Edward Grew.
The Edward Sturgis Grew Professorship will allow for the hiring of a tenure-eligible faculty member in the School of Earth and Climate Sciences in the 2016 academic year. The professorship will focus on teaching and research in igneous and/or metamorphic petrology, geochemistry and mineralogy, and will be part of the Geodynamics, Crustal Studies and Earth Rheology research group.
Grew, a research professor of geological sciences, also established an Earth Sciences Endowment Fund in the University of Maine Foundation to support the educational and research activities of students.
This is the second professorship created in the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture through private donations in the past two years. In 2013, Farm Credit of Maine (which merged with Farm Credit East on Jan. 1, 2014) established a term professorship in agricultural economics and agricultural finance. Xuan Chen was appointed to the professorship to teach production economics, assist with agricultural and natural resource-based industry cost-of-production studies, and lead the UMaine’s Farm Credit Fellowship Program.
Farm Credit East, a nearly century-old cooperative, has a long history of hiring UMaine graduates.
In 1980, John Linehan planned to use his University of Maine degree in wildlife management to improve the lives of wild animals by working in Africa, Alaska or Maine.
While waiting for that dream job to materialize, he took a temporary position in what, for him at that time, was an unlikely field — zookeeping.
As a child growing up in Canton, Massachusetts, Linehan was fascinated by the animals, but found zoos sad and depressing in their approach to helping the public appreciate the beauty and importance of animals.
Years later, the same was true when he got his first zoo keeping job at Boston’s 72-acre Franklin Park Zoo, founded in 1912. And it wasn’t just at that zoo. The nearby 26-acre Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts, founded in 1905, held the same disappointment.
“When I first started, the two zoos were a joke. They only had farm animals and birds for exhibits. Not only that, inebriated people could just walk right in with no problem, and people could even bring their dogs in. It was an unsafe situation for both animals and humans,” says Linehan.
Yet Linehan stayed on because there were so many opportunities for him to make a difference. Every time his weekend came and he was off work for a couple of days, he would always think, “Will these animals be OK if I’m not there?”
He worked as a temporary laborer, zookeeper, head zookeeper, and mammal curator for 21 years. Throughout, Linehan voiced his opinions, concerns and enacted changes in an effort to improve Franklin Park for the animals and the patrons. He also worked to help establish Zoo New England — a nonprofit corporation created in 1991 to operate both Franklin and Stone zoos.
In 2002, Linehan was named president and CEO of Zoo New England, with a depth of experience and high expectations to move the zoological parks more in the direction of educational outreach and conservation.
Today, Zoo New England’s mission is to “inspire people to protect and sustain the natural world for future generations by creating fun and engaging experiences that integrate wildlife and conservation programs, research and education.”
“Ultimately, modern zoos are a critical component in introducing urban kids to nature,” Linehan says. “The zoos introduce the kids to the environment that will lead to a heightened appreciation and understanding of the animals, which will hopefully lead to learning about them in a higher education and, ultimately, will lead to them conserving the animals they grew to love.”
Zoo New England is committed to creating an emotional and intellectual connection to animals. Rather than making zoos a passive experience in which people simply view the wildlife, Linehan is working to make the exhibits more interactive, particularly so that children can learn while having fun.
To jump-start that process, Franklin Park is building a new children’s zoo that will have fewer animals, but is more interactive and features learning-based activities.
“The planet is like a fuse. If we don’t do anything, soon enough all biological ecosystems will start unraveling,” says Linehan of the importance of educating younger generations.
Linehan’s work focuses on conserving ecosystems and everything in them. That’s why Zoo New England is a participates in conservation projects, locally and around the globe.
For example, one of Franklin Park Zoo’s head veterinarians also does fieldwork in the cloud forest area of Panama, helping to reintroduce the golden frog that is extinct in the wild. His work involves not only the amphibians, but also human inhabitants in the area, recruiting them to help in the reintroduction effort.
In addition, Franklin Park has introduced a conservation awareness-raising Quarter Token program, called Quarters for Conservation,in which 25 cents of patrons’ admission fees goes toward conservation projects. Visitors receive a token upon admission that they then can deposit on-site toward one of a handful of conservation projects. Not only do the visitors know that they are helping to conserve species, they can be involved in deciding which project to fund.
Linehan admits that, even now as a zoo CEO able to bring his leadership vision to bear on improving zoos, he still misses hands-on zookeeping. Now he can only watch as zookeepers and curators perform the duties he used to do. Today he is more of a facilitator, making sure the zoos are running efficiently, and the animals are safe and healthy.
He also gets great satisfaction in helping people — from zoo patrons and donors to urban youths in his after-school programs — gain a healthy perspective on the wild kingdom and its place on the planet.
Making a difference is important to Linehan.
“I want people to come to my zoos and think, ‘Wow, those animals are incredible. What can I do in my life to make sure they don’t go extinct?’” he says.
People need to know that ecosystems are like a neighborhood, says Linehan, and that we have a reliance on other animals and that we share the planet with them.

Lebanon City Police have charged a Lebanon Middle School teacher for bringing a gun into the school.
Information from police was released Thursday morning stating that on April 12 a handgun was found in Chad Thomas' backpack. While cleaning Thomas' office, a school custodian found the backpack containing the handgun, according to police.
"There is no information leading police to believe faculty or students were in danger or being targeted by Thomas. Thomas states he forgot the firearm was in the backpack," the report stated.
This morning, Lebanon School District also released a statement
"Last Thursday, on April 12, 2018, a gun was found on our middle school property after school hours when our custodial team cleaned the building. This weapon belonged to a teacher, who mistakenly brought it on school property and had it stored within a protective case. Once found, proper protocols were followed and it was immediately reported to local authorities for investigation.
"We were fully cooperative with local authorities to maintain the integrity of the investigation, which meant we have been unable to comment on the investigation. Now that charges have been filed, the District will continue to cooperate with the process if and when called upon.
"Most importantly, it should be known that at no time were staff or students in harm’s way. The safety of our staff and students is of paramount importance to us. We will continue to monitor our schools to ensure we have the safest environments to educate our students.
"We do not condone this teachers’ behavior, and we will continue to work with local authorities, comply with State reporting requirements, and the teacher will remain removed from all District buildings indefinitely until the District has a better understanding of how legal proceedings may conclude."

Get Your Instant Lieberman CW Here!
[ Kausfileswill have to stop getting its vice-presidential tips from the counter man at the all-night deli across the street. He seemed to know so much! ... In retrospect, we probably should never have switched from the dry-cleaning guy. ... To save face, we offer this Instant CW on Joe Lieberman--a valid point that's obvious enough to be quickly adopted as conventional wisdom (CW) by virtually the entire press corps.]

Instant CW No. 1: Clinton fatigue is real. Gore has now formally acknowledged that the Clinton scandals, a k a "Clinton fatigue," are hurting him. Lieberman's unique selling proposition, after all, is that he criticized Clinton over Flytrap. Why would Gore deploy a weapon against a danger that doesn't exist? Indeed, various anonymous Gore aides (and Sen. John Breaux) have been helpfully noting to reporters that Lieberman will help Gore "distance" himself from the president. So let's have no more arguments from Clinton sympathizers about how Clinton fatigue is a "myth." Sean Wilentz and Harold Evans, this means you!

I'm chomping at the bit for it and I'll be shocked if it isn't in my top five games of the year. I'm usually a fan of game that use offbeat artistic styles to begin with but the word is that the gameplay and story is every bit as good as the art style (Zelda is the most commonly cited comparison) and the game is *huge*.
This is really the only PS2 game left that I have a lot of excitement for! From what I have heard it is similar to Zelda and that sold me right there. The style of the game is awesome and it sounds like it is very enjoyable. It was also EGM's game of the month scoring, if I recall correctly, two 9s and a 9.5. Day 1 purchase for me!
Is it weird that I hadn't heard of this game, or is there just no hype?
I've been under the impression that this is one of the most eagerly anticipated PS2 titles of this year. I know I've been looking forward it for at least a year now. On the other hand, the unique visual style and calligraphy gameplay probably prevents it from being a considered a mainstream title.
Yeah, Okami and Guitar Hero 2 are the only two future PS2 games I really want to play.
The game is supposed to be similar to Zelda, though the artwork is much different (sort of like Japanese watercolors). The unique aspect of the game is that the screen can be paused at any time. When paused, the colors disappear and you can use a paint brush to paint the screen. For example (as mentioned by EGM), if you see a torch and a pile of sticks, painting a line from the torch to the sticks causes the sticks to catch fire. Or if there is a bridge that is out, you can paint in the rest of the bridge and then cross it.
At first that sounded sort of gimmicky and something that might get old pretty quickly, but again, according to EGM, the game produces unique ways to use the brush all the way to the end (which is supposedly ~ 40 hours long). Sounds pretty cool to me.

Yeah, I got it from Play-Asia. Gonna work a night of overtime to afford it
I've listened to a few songs and they've been really, really great. I don't know if it's truly worth it, but Okami really is shaping up to be something special, so I figured why not. That's hours and hours of music by some fantastic composers.
Regarding the soundtrack, is there more traditional stuff or is it mostly of a modern take on traditional styles? The samples I heard are so over-produced it sounds like the backing music from an 80's synth band. I want to like it but what I hear sounds pretty laughable. I mean, the music itself is good, but the way it sounds is not.
Regarding the soundtrack, is there more traditional stuff or is it mostly of a modern take on traditional styles?
it's a mix, pretty much, tho, if the above cut sounds over-arranged to you, you might not like it (also, what with 5 cds - the last of which contains lots of tiny bits - there's obviously some overlap as far as melodies/themes). it's a lot of money for a soundtrack, so there's no way i'm gonna flat-out recommend it (like i would, say, the killer 7 ost!), but i personally continue to listen to & enjoy it a whole lot. your mileage may vary?...

How much of the game did they make like that before starting over? i really like the look of the realistic graphics, in fact I would enjoy playign it like that, but for this game and what they are trying to do, I think the cartoon graphics look gorgeous. This has certainly really piqued my interest lately.

I think the only thing that's more impressive about the realistic one is that the wolf creates much more trees and grass in his wake than he does in the cel-shaded version, which almost makes him seem more powerful. Otherwise, I think the cel-shading is cool as hell.

Donald Trump’s New Travel Ban Challenged In Courts Throughout The Nation
If even simply considered one of your possessions have been to get stolen whilst on holiday, it might put a dampener on the whole journey. Being in a cruise line as a travel passenger is a completely nice and distinctive experience. Giving them a wonderful traveling experience far outweighs the benefit of buying presents for them. Jeff Khurgel, an legal professional at the Khurgel Immigration Law Firm in Irvine, California, mentioned there isn’t a legitimate cause under U.S. immigration regulation that may hold naturalized U.S. residents from having the same travel rights and privileges as a pure born U.S. citizen.
Learn extra about the Dunlaps and extra info, including a media press equipment and their common world travel weblog at: or call: (858) 336-6832. In its ruling, the ninth Circuit mentioned Washington state had standing because it was harmed by Trump’s order, particularly noting that school at the state’s universities from these seven nations can be prohibited from traveling for analysis or academic collaboration.
If you let the bird out of the travel cage whereas in the automobile don’t forget to place him back earlier than any passengers open the door. Different economists found that Los Angeles County alone might lose the equal of $736 million in tourism spending over three years as a result of Trump’s travel ban, The New York Instances reported. An unidentified judge on the 9th Circuit on Friday requested that the courtroom’s 25 full-time judges vote on whether or not the momentary block of Trump’s travel ban ought to be reheard earlier than an 11-decide panel, referred to as en banc evaluate, in accordance with a courtroom order.
So I will continue traveling on my own, calling residence after I can, and feeling safe with the data the my partnership and my decisions belong to me, and no one can take them, or the world, from me. You will want a resume to apply for a lot of the work at home travel agent positions, so taking a category or two forward of time on traveling and advertising and marketing will definitely look good in your utility and considerably enhance your likelihood of being employed like a piece at hoe travel agent in case you have no previous experience within the area.
From managing lodging bookings to creating personalized itineraries, every little thing in travel requires diligent planning. You should do yourself a favor; make it a habit to all the time be informed of your required vacation spot earlier than you travel overseas. Typically, especially when traveling in much less developed international locations, it is fascinating to have slightly bit extra safety in your hotel room at evening.

The New York Times publishes UB scientist's op-ed about caffeinated energy drinks
An opinion piece in The New York Times by Kathleen
Miller, senior research scientist at UB’s Research Institute
on Addictions, about the decision by CVS to stop selling tobacco
products suggests the drug store chain should also consider
discontinuing sales of caffeinated energy drinks to kids under the
age of 18. “Because caffeine is widely used and generally
considered safe in moderate doses, we too often forget it is a
psychoactive drug – and potentially dangerous in larger
amounts, particularly for children,” she writes.

More Than A Curriculum -It's A Culture
The research shows that when a school takes time to cultivate a culture of character and develop social-emotional skills, grades go up and bad behavior goes down. It makes sense - when kids feel safe and supported, they perform better and want to be there. When students learn the value of kindness, service, and empathy, they don't just walk out of school being competent at math and science - they walk away being capable, compassionate people.
What Is CharacterStrong?

Testimonials
I have been in education for over a quarter of a century and this is, hands down, the BEST training that I have ever been privileged to be a part of. There are so many components that teachers of every age and discipline can use in the classroom. It also is self-reflecting and not only makes someone a better teacher after attending but also a better person. This presentation allows for professional and more importantly personal growth. I recommend it for EVERYONE that is involved in education. Teachers, secretaries, custodians, cooks, IT department, bus drivers, coaches and administrators. VALUABLE BEYOND BELIEF!!!
This training opens your eyes to the importance of relationships in the classroom and how to build those relationships. Character is something that we can change & need to make a habit and as educators to model as a teacher.
I am going to be honest when we started using CharacterStrong, I was very skeptical. I could not fully buy in, which made it hard for me to have my students buy in. Now that I have done this training there are many different things I want to implement into my classroom and school!
I think CharacterStrong is going to do great things for our school. The best part is that my teachers are taking ownership; I am simply supporting them. This training allows you to vulnerable and honest with yourself and your staff. Tough - but awesome experience for me as a principal to experience this with my teachers.
Over my 11 years of teaching, I have seen an increasing need for something more in education. It is no longer enough just to teach our educational content, we need to educate the whole child and shape better human being. CharacterStrong is the best way of going about this, I have seen to date.
I think it is extremely eye opening and as a previous student who took a leadership class from John but was not super involved in leadership after that semester I still saw the way these teachings affected the climate and culture at the school. And now in my own classroom and school especially as a new teacher I can see the way that the curriculum is starting to work it’s way into the children’s lives. I truly believe that keeping this going will positively impact our school and our district.

Would it be feasible to dump nuclear waste on the Moon?
No. Not really.
By Meg Murphy
According to Jim Clark, a graduate student in aeronautics and astronautics and an avid model rocketeer: “There are more cost-effective ways to deal with nuclear waste.” Indeed, by Clark’s calculations, the cost of transporting nuclear waste to the Moon would be high: about $8.5 million per ton. And then there’s the risk factor. “If a rocket carrying 50 tons of nuclear waste has an accident, the entire globe could be affected,” he adds (along with someone’s $425 million).
And besides all that, Clark says, humanity has other plans for the Moon. Several entities, including the European Space Agency, China, Russia, and NASA, have or are developing plans and technology for exploring and possibly colonizing the Moon in the future.
Nuclear accidents in space have happened before. The Soviet Union sent 33 nuclear-powered satellites into space during the Cold War, three of which crashed back to Earth, scattering radioactive debris across the Pacific Ocean and Canada, says Clark. The U.S. launched one in 1965, and while it successfully boosted itself into a disposal orbit, where it will remain for more than 4,000 years, it has been shedding fragments — of what, we’re not sure — for the last few decades.
If you really want to rid the planet of nuclear waste, don’t aim for the Moon, Clark advises. “For the same amount of rocket fuel — or the equivalent amount of energy from more exotic launch techniques, like space elevators or space guns — you could send the waste on a trajectory which simply leads into deep space, where it would drift and decay forever,” he says.

LUSAKA, Zambia, December 3, 2008/African Press Organization (APO)/ — Zambia and the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group on Tuesday in Lusaka, signed a US$ 24 million Loan Agreement to finance the country’s Second Poverty Reduction Budget Support (PRBS) program, which aims at developing the private sector and improving public finance management.
The agreement was signed by Zambia’s Minister for Finance and National Planning, Situmbeko Musokotwane and the AfDB’s Resident Representative in Zambia, Vivienne Apopo.
The Zambian government also signed on to the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF), a collective fund set up to assist Regional Member Countries (RMCs) of the Bank in addressing capacity issues while dealing with the growing problem of litigation by vulture funds, as well as to enable them build the technical capacity for complex commercial negotiations. The ASLF is particularly relevant for countries such as Zambia with natural resource-based economies that are constantly targeted by international speculators.
On the occasion, Mr. Musokotwane and the World Food Programme (WFP) Country Director, Pablo Recalde, signed a memorandum of understanding on a framework for the administration of the Bank’s US$ 500,000 humanitarian assistance grant to flood victims endorsed by AfDB President Donald Kaberuka during his official visit to Zambia in August 2008.
Commenting on the event, the minister thanked the Bank Group for its continued support to Zambia’s development efforts, especially within the framework of the Fifth National Development Plan. He assured that the loan would be used to finance poverty reduction and economic growth projects. He emphasised the importance of the timing of the support considering that Zambia, like many other developing countries, was facing a number of challenges in the wake of the current global financial crisis.
Furthermore, Mr. Musokotwane commended the Bank for spearheading the African Legal Facility, noting that many African countries had lost huge resources in contracts and negotiations mainly due to limited internal capacity to negotiate and conclude beneficial deals for their countries. He also thanked both the Bank and the World Food Programme for the Humanitarian Assistance to the flood victims.
For her part, the AfDB Resident Representative, Vivienne Apopo, congratulated the government on the success of the recent presidential by-elections, and thanked them for continued support to Bank Group activities in Zambia and the African region. Mrs. Apopo observed that since Zambia’s economy relies mainly on the exploitation of natural resources, especially metals, the African Legal Support Facility would be handy in assisting the government in building the necessary capacity for effective negotiations and preparation of beneficial international contracts for managing its natural resources.
She thanked the WFP for its cooperation and readiness to administer the humanitarian assistance grant to flood victims. Mrs. Apopo re-affirmed the Bank’s commitment to supporting Zambia’s socio-economic development efforts.
WFP Country Director, Pablo Recalde thanked the Bank Group for the timely assistance to vulnerable groups in the country, facing many social and economic challenges that are threatening the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

10 NYE Resolutions (that you’ll actually keep!)
2018 is almost over and…where did all the time go?! Whether you had the best year ever or you’re counting the days until it’s over, now’s the perfect time to reflect on what changes you want to make in 2019.
‘
We’ve compiled our top 10 NYE resolutions- and how you can actually stick to them for the whole year! 2019- we’re glowing up, thriving, and living our best lives!
1. Stop the negative self-talk
One of the biggest changes you can make to your overall wellbeing is to decide to be kinder to yourself. It’s not going to happen overnight, and it’s going to take practice, but you need to remember not to beat yourself up! Try to tell yourself everyday “I’m human, I’m doing my best, and I deserve love and respect”.
2. Drink more water
This one just had to be in here! We all know the standard 8 cups a day, but babes it is so important! Drinking enough water can clear your skin, reduce bloating, and even curb cravings. We’re heading into 2019 healthy, hydrated, and glowing.
3. Exercise a little more
Want to get fit in 2019? Baby steps 😉 If you’ve pledged to start working out, lose weight or tone up, your best option is to start by walking more. Realistically, no one’s going to get up at 6am to work out for an hour every day. BUT, you can start walking to school/uni, to the shops, to the gym. Even get off your train or bus a stop early and walk the extra bit! It’ll do wonders for your mood, you’ll have more energy, and it’s a great lifestyle change to make this new year.
4. Up your skincare routine
Calling all self-care queens! Taking 10 minutes every day to practice some skincare is a great way to look after yourself, and keep that gorgeous young skin looking fresh. Remember to moisturize, exfoliate a few times a week, wear your sunscreen, and please- never sleep in makeup!
5. Travel more
If you’re sick of FOMO and seeing friends globetrotting on the ‘gram, we say just go for it and book that ticket! Whether it’s splurging on an overseas holiday, a girl’s weekend away, or just a road trip, it’s time to expand your horizons. Check out tourist spots near you, find a cheap ticket somewhere, or exploring a beach or city you’ve never been to. You’re only young once baby, and you’ll never regret an adventure!
6. Eat better
OK I know we’ve all said it a million times, but I swear this New Year’s I’m going to start my diet! Fact is, diets are hard and they’re not sustainable, so an easy swap is to just start eating out less. If you’re cooking at home and not buying food, you’re saving money (score!) and saving yourself a tonne of oil, salt, fat and sugar. Bonus points for eating more veggies too!
7. Save more money
This is possibly one of the hardest ones, but also one of the most important! More money in the bank means you can splurge on a holiday, festival tickets, or more cute clothes from Beginning Boutique. You can start by saving up your coins, having a no-spend day once or twice a week, or even getting your own side-hustle.
8. Keep your room tidy
Not to sound like your mum nagging you…but clean your room! No one likes to come home after a long day to a floordrobe and 10 empty coffee cups. Keeping your room tidy and clean will make the space feel more peaceful, relaxing, and help get rid of some mental and emotional clutter.
9. Practice gratitude
A great way to start your day is each morning, list a few things you’re grateful for. It could be your health, your friends, the bus waiting for you, a perfect hair day, nothing is too small to be thankful for!
10. Read more
Taking 15 minutes before bed to read a book is the perfect habit to get into in 2019! It makes it easier to fall asleep because your eyes are tired and you’re not getting blue light from your phone. So, pick up your favourite magazine or novel, and try to read a little before you go to sleep. It’s such a great way to unplug and relax a little each day.

Breaking News
So in Japan, there’s an Abandoned American Cowboy Theme Park (16 Pics)
Photographer Shane Thoms makes an excellent point when he says that abandoned theme parks are more fun to visit than active theme parks– especially when they’re creepy colonial cowboy-themed ones wasting away outside small remote towns in Japan. Shane Thoms is an Australian photographer who has a passion for decay, abandonment and disrepair, something he seems to be finding in abundance while living over in Japan. His photographs documenting Japan’s abandoned spaces are absolutely surreal, like nothing you’ve seen before and you must spend some time discovering his adventures. To give you a taste of his work, one such adventure he documented is “Western Village”, a derelict and rotting American colonial theme park that closed its doors forever in 2007, after failing to compete with Tokyo Disneyland. Shane takes us around this remote and eerie American ghost town in Japan, which he visited alone …

Museum Beat
Galt Museum examines community bands
Lethbridge has a long history of community band, so Galt Museum archives assistant Trish Purkis wanted to bring that history to life as part of the Archives Exposed program.
“I wanted to showcase unfamiliar and not seen photographs,” Purkis said adding sometimes the Archives Exposed program is connected to the main display in the main gallery, other times, like this time, it is a labour of love.
“ I actually started it because I wanted to find out when I started playing in the Lethbridge Kiwanis Band in the 1960s,” said Purkis, who plays clarinet in the Lethbridge Community band, which turns 25 this year.
After finding out she joined the band in 1963, she was surprised how little information was available about community bands in Lethbridge, so she started making a file by going through newspaper clippings and exploring the archives.
“I started playing clarinet with the band in 1963 and like most people I gave it up while I pursued my career, until 1987 when I dusted off the clarinet to see if I could still play,” she said.
Author Will Ferguson entertains with anecdotes and jokes
Canadian humourist Will Ferguson, enraptured a good sized crowd at the Galt Museum, Sunday, May 20 during the museum’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations which also featured Project Muse.
There wasn’t a lot of talk about the Queen at the Queen’s Jubilee, however Ferguson has a million stories about having adventures travelling around Canada and told a few of, them punctuating them with his self-deprecating humour, which had the enraptured audience chuckling along with him.
He joked about being asked to show a South American delegation a “Canadian dance.”
“There isn’t one. They think we can all square dance, so we just made one up,” he related.
He spoke briefly about living in Japan and moving to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the cradle of Confederation.
He noted his first job was as a translator. He laughed as he recalled asking a group of Japanese businessmen/ tourists to not tell his boss that he wasn’t as fluent in Japanese as he said to get the job.
He reminisced about breaking into writing by writing a column in Charlottetown about Japanese customs and getting let go after asking his boss for a raise as his boss didn’t know Ferguson was being paid for his column in the first place.
He observed things worked out in the end as he ended up getting a job writing a travel/ adventure column for Macleans magazine.
“ They told me to write it from the perspective of a tourist to Canada, which is how I always kind of felt anyway,” he said. Then he laughed he had an expense account, covering “all reasonable expenses,” and put a helicopter ride on it so he could see a historic fort near Churchill, Manitoba.“They asked me about it and I said ‘all reasonable expenses.’ They said ‘It‘s a helicopter ride.’ So I don’t work at Macleans anymore,” he laughed. However that lead to a gig with Flare Magazine, which lead to memorable trips all across the country including Moose Jaw.
Once that ended, he started compiling his columns into a books.
He wound up his presentation by joking about Cracker Jacks, laughing “ You used to get a toy in them which you put together, now it comes in a bag and all you get is a piece of paper with a quote on it,” he said. The Project Muse chamber music group ended the afternoon with a set of pretty classical music.

Author Will Ferguson makes a career out of curiosity
Thursday, 24 May 2012 09:03
Richard Amery
Calgary based writer Will Ferguson has made a career out of curiosity.Ferguson, who was born in Fort Vermillion in Northern Alberta, has travelled all over the world from hitchhiking around the backwoods of Japan to Moose Jaw.“I find both of them equally fascinating,” he said. He is very familiar with Lethbridge and Southern Alberta, having dedicated two chapters to Lethbridge in one of his books.
For now he is looking forward to coming to Lethbridge, May 27 to visit the Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens and to participate in the Queen’s Jubilee celebration at the Galt Museum.
“My wife is Japanese, so when she gets homesick, she likes to come to the Japanese Gardens because it is so authentic. Even though the plants are Canadian, the design is Japanese. So we’ll come down on the Saturday to see it,” he continued. He travelled in Northern Ireland after the troubles just to see the effect on the people and in July will be going to Rwanda to do the research for a book on the twentieth anniversary of the genocides.
“I’ll be concentrating on my Canadian travels, seeing the polar bears in Churchill and Moose Jaw,” he said.“ Travel writing is probably the easiest thing to get into because it’s always your story. If you go to a resort in Guadalajara, then that’s your story and your experience,” he advised to prospective travel writers. The most important thing is to have a sense of adventure and curiosity, though enough common sense not to get into dangerous situations.“Start out in newspapers, because newspapers are always looking for travel stories, then work your way up to magazines and books.”
He started his career as a travel writer while hitch-hiking in Japan, where he spent several years teaching English.“I was living in Japan, teaching and they have very poor bus service in Japan, so I started hitch-hiking, and nobody hitch-hikes in Japan, so I had people inviting me over for dinner and I thought that was pretty cool. Then I thought I’d pitch the idea of writing about hitch-hiking to a Japanese newspaper. They passed on it, but it planted the bug in me,” he said adding he moved to PEI and decided to write an article about Japanese customs.
Galt Museum answers quilt queries with Alberta Quilt Project
Tuesday, 15 May 2012 16:29
Richard Amery
There is a lot more to quilting than one might think — they provide a peek into the past. So the Galt Museum has been presenting a special series geared towards quilting aficionados, or to satiate curiosity about quilting for those new to it.
The last presentation of the series is May 17 at the Galt Museum
featuring Lucie Heins, assistant Curator of the Royal Alberta Museum.
She will be bringing the Alberta Quilt project to Lethbridge, which
examines heritage quilts made in Alberta or brought to the province by
immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and
examines quilting in the twenty-first century.The project began by documenting contemporary quilters to capture the current trends in
quilting and surveyed Alberta quilting guilds, groups and individuals. The project, presented with the Lethbridge Centennial Quilters Guild,
takes place May 17 at 7 p.m. at the Galt Museum.
“I’m here to unravel some of the mysteries of the quilt world,” said Dawn Hunt, who hosted the first two seminars. The first one covered the overall history of quilting, the second, CSI Quilt, went into more depth about how quilts can be a conduit into history over two sessions, April 5 and April 7.
“Women weren’t allowed to take classes or go to school, so quilting was how they expressed themselves,” she said.“‘Some are passed down from daughter to daughter,” she said. She said you can tell a lot about history by examining quilts. Popular patterns, stitching techniques and even the type of dye used can tell a lot about the era where the quilt came from.
Salesman’s fabric swatches from the day also tell a lot about a quilt as they often reflect the popular styles of the day.Sometimes they get lucky and find a date on the quilt, either on the back, or worked into the quilt itself.“ We do a lot of research so the quilt can tell us the story,” she said. Sometime the quilt itself tells a story, reflecting the life of it’s creator and their family as they are often passed down through generations
Galt explores sports today in Champions and Challenges
Friday, 11 May 2012 12:36
Richard Amery
Lethbridge is widely regarded as a sports town. This city has a storied history of sports, but the Galt Museum has decided to explore the present in their new exhibit “Champions and Challenges in Sports” which opens, May 12, with the official kick off at 2 p.m. May 13.There will be a variety of the subjects in the exhibit present including Kris Versteeg, Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame inductee Brad Brown, referee Bill Halma, Special Olympics downhill skiing medalist and bowler Tyler Birch, curler and Special Olympics powerlifter Jennifer Grimes and sports advocate, and exhibit advisory committee member Knud Petersen.
Curator Wendy Aitkens with the help of University of lethbridge applied studies student Stefanie Heidebrecht and much community support, decided to tell some of the stories of not only professional athletes, but amateur athletes, families, referees, sports boosters and fans, to convey a cross-section of the contemporary Lethbridge sports community. “ There are a lot of athletes in Lethbridge from professional athletes, to recreational athletes playing in beer league slo-pitch,” said curator Wendy Aitkens adding it was a challenge to choose the athletes to be featured in the exhibit.
“We made 19 phone calls to interview some of these people. Then we put together 10 two-and-a half minute short video clips of the interviews. It was absolutely wonderful,” Aitkens observed adding the Galt did a history of Lethbridge Sports exhibit in 2001.
In addition to the video stations, where patrons can relax on a comfy leather couch to watch them, there are also special displays dedicated to Lethbridge sports notables including former Lethbridge Hurricane Kris Versteeg, who has already won a Stanley Cup in the NHL, as well as special Olympians, a display on curling, jerseys and much more.

Proudly Supported by the National Lottery
Proudly Supported by the National Lottery
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard this over the last two weeks. If, like me, you have spent most of the last two weeks glued to the Olympics I’m sure you’ve heard it, too.
This simple sentiment has been at the heart of almost every medal winner’s TV interview. Despite most interviews taking place within minutes of the athlete’s winning performance or medal ceremony, when they are in their most emotional state, the majority have remembered to thank the funder that contributed significantly to their success.
And it’s got me thinking – shouldn’t the arts and culture sector be doing more to celebrate the lottery and government support we get?
The mass display of love for the National Lottery is almost certainly not a coincidence. This is a strategic decision that has been drilled into them by Press Officers through multiple media briefings and the rationale for this is simple:
Their success is overwhelmingly dependent on the support of government and lottery funds
There are ever-increasing pressures on the funding available. Decisions on the next 5 years of funding are imminent, difficult decisions will have to be made and they need to protect themselves from cuts
They rely on the general public to buy into the case for investing in them. Increased public support makes it harder to cut investment.
Sound familiar?
Yet, despite these similarities, and the comparable levels of lottery funding spent on arts and sport each year, the level of public acknowledgement is markedly different.
I’ve long felt that, for many organisations, Arts Council support is seen as a God-given right, a necessary evil, a slightly embarrassing inconvenience or all of the above. Organisations are quick to criticise but much slower to acknowledge the role of lottery and government funding in their successes.
A clear example of this came last week. On Wednesday 10 August the Arts Council turned 70. And while ACE has been marking the occasion with its #70things campaign, the rest of the sector has celebrated with deafening silence. A trawl through the websites, Facebook pages and twitter accounts of the ten biggest National Portfolio Organisations shows that, save for a handful of retweets for #70things activities, none of them felt this milestone was worth sharing with their audiences.
But what if things were different?
What if, as a sector, we had used the milestone as a focal point for a nationwide celebration of government and lottery investment in the arts and culture sector? Let’s face it, there are a large number of organisations that would never have existed, let alone continue to exist today, if not for Arts Council support. What if the impact of 70 years of subsidy had been co-ordinated and shared with 70 years of tax payers and Lottery players?
What if we had used the happy coincidence of the anniversary falling within the Olympics and joined up with the Lottery’s own publicity activity to celebrate the wider benefits of Lottery funding for Good Causes?
What if opening nights and awards acceptances speeches took the same approach as the Team GB athletes, thanking the funders at every opportunity? (I’ve sat through far too many speeches where the recipient has thanked every member of cast and crew but somehow managed to forget to thank the organisation that provided 40% of the funding).
What if organisations proudly took every opportunity to thank the public for their support, rather than seeing the ACE logo as a reporting requirement – yet another thing on the website, poster or programme to detract from the designer’s artistic vision? (Can you see the supporter credits on this poster?)
What if we were publicly proud of government and Lottery investment, rather than quietly hoping that people don’t notice.
Perhaps I’m being naïve but it strikes me that there are wide-ranging, deep-reaching benefits to doing so:
The first is that sharing our successes with the public will give them greater ownership of our organisations and our work. Behavioural Economics shows us how important ownership can be – as a species we are more likely to act to prevent loss than we are to achieve a gain. If the wider public feel our work belongs to them they will be much more likely to take action should anything threaten it. Bhavisha Kukadia described the Olympics as “the world’s biggest Case for Support”. Just imagine the outrage there would be this week if the government announced it was cutting funding for track cycling…
It could also lead to a greater understanding of how the arts are funded. The more we report on how we are using public funds, the more positive platforms we create to also show the role of earned income and philanthropy. And rather than make people less likely to donate, it could actually have the opposite effect – the Endowed Progress Effect suggests that people are more committed to achieving a target if they can see that progress has been made towards it. They are more committed still if they have contributed to that progress.
Finally, celebrating the successes made possible by Lottery and government subsidy could even lead to more money being available. As the Olympics has shown, there is a financial incentive for promoting the National Lottery to an excited and engaged audience. As a spokesperson for the National Lottery explains, “Team GB’s fantastic achievements in Rio have generated huge excitement among players and retailers here in the UK – and that’s great news for National Lottery sales and, most importantly, for all of the Good Causes that will benefit.”
Thank you to Camelot for their help with this blog post. As their spokesperson says:
“If you’ve already bought a National Lottery ticket, then in regards to all of the medals being won in Rio…you’ve made that happen. National Lottery players are contributing over £80 million per year to support over 1,300 athletes for sporting success in the Rio Olympics and Paralympics, and beyond – as well as several hundred million into grassroots sport – so all of our players should truly feel ‘I Am Team GB’ and can get involved in the UK’s biggest ever sports day taking place on 27 August.

We are a military family that moved into the Riverview area. I put my son who as currently in 11th grade in a public high school. After about 6 months in that school he was be coming withdrawn and starting to fail his classes due to lack of help. I called around and found IEA. After a few weeks at IEA he was making friends, becoming more social and his grades improved. He received the one on one from teachers he needed. It also was a small environment so there isn't a lot to distract him. Thanks to the staff at IEA my son graduated with a diploma. He is excited about possibly attending USF Learning Academy to further his learning to get some job skills.
I put my younger son at IEA also when he went into the 6th grade. He has done remarkable here as well. I would recommend this school to anyone who has a child with a learning disability.

A great school with small class sizes. They worked to customize a class schedule for my son that accommodated his disability. The Study Skills class has given him a chance to work one-on-one with his math teacher when he doesn't understand the homework. Staff has made an extra effort to send home weekly communication on his progress.
