In 2013-14 the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain (NYO) received an unexpected legacy of £2.2m (€2.9m), a great deal of money for us, more than 12 months of turnover. Our first reaction was excitement and relief as fundraising takes time and energy and the outcome is never certain. Very quickly, however, we realised we had a problem: £2.2m would not affect our long-term position but was far too much to absorb into reserves.
NYO is funded by some sophisticated trusts that would balk at giving money to an organisation that was hoarding unspent millions – and quite rightly so. Our conclusion was that the money would have to be spent. So, after replenishing our reserves and putting some money into improving our fundraising infrastructure, we elected to devote the rest to doing what we do best – supporting young orchestral musicians to excel. This was the origin of NYO Inspire, at which peer inspiration lies at the very heart and this summer celebrates its first birthday.
Since arriving at the orchestra in 2007, I have given a great deal of thought to the role peer inspiration plays in propelling NYO to staggeringly good performances. NYO musicians learn from one another in the way kids learn skateboard tricks. They watch and they listen, they admire, they share tips. Of course, our musicians are not self-taught: NYO employs the best tutors and the best conductors. But above and beyond what the grown-ups contribute there's this peer energy, these passionate young people spurring one another on to greater and greater feats of brilliance. This is something special.
We started using peer learning consciously as part of our rehearsal process back in 2009-10, and saw a positive impact on standards. We wondered what would happen if our orchestra performed for other teenagers and even ran music workshops with them, so we started giving concerts in secondary schools, with workshops for school musicians to help introduce the repertoire.
The effect was electric. When you stand up in front of your peers and perform you can't fake anything, it has to be absolutely real. And everybody feels this. After giving workshops and performances in schools, NYO musicians have told us very seriously that they found it even more thrilling than performing in the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
And so NYO Inspire was born to harnesses this peer inspiration. The idea is to give teenage musicians who lack opportunities the boost they need to take them on to the next stage. NYO can't fund the grassroots music education system, but we can make powerful strategic interventions, using peer-to-peer learning in workshops, and peer performances in schools.
NYO Inspire targets musicians at Grade 6 and above, the level at which most regional Music Education Hubs and Music Services struggle to provide meaningful challenges for their teenage musicians. Long-term cuts in Local Authority music provision, both in and out of schools, have drastically reduced the total number of learning musicians, which reduces the numbers that progress to higher standards.
And so the quality of regional ensembles has fallen in turn. Indeed in many cases cuts have been so drastic that those ensembles no longer exist. In the 1970s the best regional youth ensembles were in the public sector and private schools lagged behind. Now the majority of the opportunities to play classical music at a good standard are in the private sector.
For committed state school educated musicians the consequences are disastrous: 93 per cent of the nation's teenagers attend state school so all things being equal around nine out of 10 NYO musicians should be from a state school.
Instead, the figure has fallen to as low as around three in 10. We have been working on this since 2010 and today the orchestra is roughly 50-50 split between state and privately educated students.
Significantly, the state school musicians who make it into NYO tend to do extremely well, progressing through the ranks to take the lion's share of leadership roles. We take this as a sign of how much musical potential is being lost in the state sector.
It is too early to say how far NYO Inspire will impact on our educational diversity, but at the individual level it is clearly working.
With some musicians we meet on NYO Inspire it's like someone strapped a rocket-booster onto them. When NYO gave workshops and a concert in an inner London secondary school in January 2015 we met a keen young flautist. He was blown away by our concert of Elgar Symphony No 1, conducted by John Wilson, and joined us for an Inspire Day.
Then he came on a three-day Inspire Ensemble series. By summer he was playing alongside regular NYO musicians in the Inspire Orchestra, touring into secondary schools and leading workshops for school musicians, just like the workshops he had participated in in January. By that time he was at NYO standard and joined the orchestra. There's simply no way this would have happened without NYO Inspire. This was an advanced young musician who had no musical peer group, no ensemble challenges, and no opportunities to advance.
In 2015 our 164 NYO musicians worked alongside more than 1,500 state school musicians. Of these, 17 ended up in NYO in 2016. In addition to this we performed to almost 4,000 teenagers in schools. Everyone who takes part loves it. People who come to observe NYO musicians running workshops for their peers leave us totally inspired themselves. The fact is, teenagers can achieve much, much more than anyone ever expects of them.
Magically, despite the extra workload for our musicians, NYO performances seem only to get better and 2015 was a truly amazing year in the concert hall. By the summer Sir Mark Elder felt the orchestra had hit a new level of expressive confidence.
The Royal Philharmonic Society must have agreed because they gave NYO the Best Ensemble Award for 2016. Our musicians set out to inspire their peers and they came back with their ensemble skills honed to a new level. That is the thing about peer inspiration: it works both ways.
The challenge now is to establish a funding base for NYO Inspire while also expanding it to meet demand. There is so much potential out there for classical music – among young musicians and among young audiences. Our job is to make sure it does not go to waste.
Applications are now open for instrumentalists and composers to join the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in 2017 are now open. To apply head to the website. Closing date is 1 June.
Auditions and composer interviews are FREE, located across Great Britain and come with travel bursaries. They are friendly, positive, and a great learning experience. NYO Tutors share playing tips in a workshop, and all applicants receive performance feedback.


In recent weeks, in the wake of the numerous hacking episodes that iComEx has been working diligently to remediate, we have been experiencing an increase in email delivery issues. One of the most common exploits that hacker employ is to embed malicious scripts behind the scenes on websites that allow the hacker to then use the website hosting account as a platform for sending out spam (bulk email), spreading malware or running phishing schemes. Spam bots are what causes a site to start spewing tens of thousands of pieces of junk mail per hour. This sort of volume spike in junk mail tends to earn our servers' IP address spot in several industry blacklists, in addition to private blocking lists employed by many internet service providers (ISP's). iComEx even uses the Spamhaus and Spamcop blacklists, along with internal blocking lists on our servers to check incoming email. This is one of the most common mean of helping control the amount of spam on the internet.
iComEx makes use of cPanel, the industry leading commercial web hosting platform. cPanel, and most other commercial web hosting platforms, combine website hosting and email hosting into a single, centrally managed set of service on the same server. As a result, an exploit effecting a website on a given machine can effect the email also hosted on that same machine. Once the exploit is identified and remediated, we then begin the process of figuring out what blacklists we are on and requesting removal. The private blocking lists run by the various ISP's such as Southwestern Bell (sbcglobal), AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, AT&T, etc. are much harder to get off of. Sometimes the block are temporary in nature, and sometime they are much more permanent.
iComEx is working with our data center and the major ISP's to keep email moving smoothly. Changes to the iComEx email infrastructure will be coming up in March and April.


After reinstalling Ubuntu on KWF2 almost half a dozen times, and trying oh so very hard to get KWF4 to boot off of it, I will need to admit defeat, for now.
At this point KWF4 will display the loading screen and come all the way up until it displays the login screen, then will fall to a blank screen with a flashing cursor. I've booted KWF3 off of it thin, so the problem is in KWF4. I've looked into updating the BIOS, but it's only offered as an EXE, which needs Windows to install.
How terrifying is it that a program running in Windows can reflash the BIOS? Give me a floppy disc image any day.


All parts of your life require good nutrition, including diet and exercise. A well balanced diet is important but it may seem difficult to do. It is actually much easier than you may believe. Read on for some solid tips on creating a healthier lifestyle.
Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits each day. To ensure you receive the recommended daily allowance of fruit and vegetables, eat at least 9 servings. That probably sounds like more than it actually is. Orange juice at breakfast counts as a serving.
Women who are pregnant or lactating should pay close attention to their nutrition. Pregnancy can have a real impact on women's appetite, and can lead to not receiving the proper amount of protein her body needs. Make your morning shake with some egg whites blended in! Egg whites are high in protein and low in calories, making them a good option to consider. Eggs can carry health risks so it is important to consume those that have been pasteurized.
Eat many whole grains. People that eat more whole grains are healthier than those who eat refined carbohydrates. Some examples of whole grains you should eat every day are: whole wheat pasta, brown rice, whole wheat bread and oatmeal. This will give you the fiber and nutrients your body needs which refined carbohydrates do not have.
When you feel satisfied, you should stop eating. This stops your body from eating too much, and it allows your body to start digestion. You will be healthier by doing so.
Make fruit smoothies at home. Store-bought options are fatty and sugary. When you make smoothies yourself, you can ensure that they're very nutritious. Additionally, it's easier to tailor it to suit your diet. Try some of the following in your smoothies: bananas, skim milk, protein powder, yogurt, and fresh or frozen berries.
By keeping these nutrition tips in mind, you'll learn how to make the most out of what you eat so you can have a higher quality life. Once you get going on the right track, you'll reap the rewards of feeling better and looking great.

The Sunday Social with Shinji Kazama
Shinji Kazama (66) is the only man to have ridden to both Poles and he also set a world record by riding higher up Everest than any motorcyclist had ever been. He was born in 1950 and first rode his brother's motorcycle when he was 14.
"I tried to ride it up to the top of a steep hill," Kazama says. "I had gone 150m and couldn't ride any further so started pushing it and when I reached the top I thought 'What a view!' I was fascinated by the view from the top of the hill and so I became obsessed with riding a motorcycle in nature. That view remains in my memory."
When did you first come up with the idea of riding to the North Pole and why did you want to do it?
"I first thought about it when I reached the finish line in the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1982. I often used to think deeply about the attraction of riding a motorcycle when I was editor of a motorcycle magazine in Tokyo. I thought the attraction of riding a motorcycle is actually the attraction of nature.
"To me, the horizon is unique and interesting - I feel an irresistible attraction to the horizon. My reason for participating in the Dakar Rally was to meet the horizon of the Sahara and I was finally able to reach it. But when I reached that horizon I felt that I had to get out - I felt a vague sense of terror about remaining in the same place."
Was it difficult to get permission to ride a motorcycle to the Poles?
"I was able to get to both the North and South Poles without permission. Anybody could enter the Poles freely back then."
Which trip was most difficult – the North or the South Pole?
"The South Pole was more difficult but the North Pole trip was a lot colder than the South Pole. It was -54°C."
Why did you choose a Yamaha TW200 to ride to the South Pole and what modifications did you make to it?
"The Yamaha TW200 was still under development at the time. Honestly, it is best to ride on a caterpillar on snow and ice but for me it had to be two wheels. A motorcycle is at a big disadvantage on snow and ice because it's supported by only two points so I chose the TW 200 because it has very wide tires. The modifications I had to make cost 14 million yen (around £190,000 in today's money). All of the parts had to be modified in order to function properly in extreme cold."
What were the biggest problems you encountered with the bike during your two polar trips?
"On the North Pole trip I was riding along and suddenly the front wheel fell into the ocean. If I had fallen in, I would have gone to the bottom of the ocean, which was about 6,500 metres (over 20,000 feet) deep at that point. And it was so freezing cold that I just couldn't have done anything about it at all."
Did you ever get accustomed to the cold or was it something you had to constantly battle?
"I didn't get accustomed to the cold. On the contrary, there were moments when I feared for my life. I couldn't even stand when the temperature went down to minus -45ºC in March. A banana becomes as hard as a hammer and a plastic bag becomes a spray of mist and then completely disappears when the temperature drops below -26C. The coldest temperature I rode in was -54C."
What clothes did you wear when you were riding?
"I was wearing clothes made of Gore-Tex with an inner cotton lining that was also being used by an expedition to the Himalayas and which could tolerate extremely cold weather (Dacron cotton by Dupont). I prepared clothes from various materials - sleeping bags, fur, tent canvas, woollen socks, woollen gloves, a woollen face mask etc. I needed to take a lot of stuff.
"I learned that the clothes made by natural material such as fur and wool were the best for protecting yourself in extremely cold weather. Also, the tyres I used on the North Pole trip were mostly made from natural rubber because if I had used normal ones, the blocks on the tyres would have come apart due to the cold.
Did you encounter any polar bears?
"Fortunately I didn't meet any polar bears but I saw the tracks of one in the snow. I didn't have a gun with me but for sure it's better to have a rifle or a .45 Magnum just in case of emergency."
Was there ever any danger of the ice breaking?
"The iced surface of seawater is called 'new ice', just like with asphalt. I wanted to ride gracefully up to the North Pole but actually I had to push my bike a lot when we were on ice. Salt water ice usually does not break easily so I would say that ice with a thickness of around 20cm should be able to hold a motorcycle. But most of the ice we traversed was only about 10cm in thickness."
How did it feel to know that you were the first human being ever to reach the North Pole on a motorcycle?
"I was so exhausted that I think I reached the North Pole mostly by chance in the end! Honestly, my only thoughts were "I don't have to push my bike anymore! I just wanted to go back to my warm home as soon as possible."
Did reaching the South Pole feel like more of an achievement?
"Five years after I reached the North Pole, I also reached the South Pole. My heart filled with pleasure that I had reached the two Poles by motorcycle. I told myself "I conquered the earth with a motorcycle!""
Did you ever feel scared when you were so far away from civilization and completely surrounded by ice and snow?
"Rather than feeling fear, I could not help but love the human "civilization" that I usually don't feel anything for. I felt nostalgic seeing all the shapes and colours of the aeroplanes that carried relief supplies to me. Perhaps fear goes away when people become extremely sad and isolated."
What if you had been badly injured? How would you have got help?
"As soon as any emergency occurred I was supposed to contact the base camp which was located about 1,700 kilometres away. A chartered rescue flight was scheduled to come if I could wait for about half a day. But the charter flight fee is serious - I would have had to pay the airline for a round-trip flight and it would have cost 8 million yen (equivalent to £112,000 in today's money!)"
How difficult was it to ride on ice for such a long journey?
"It was so hard I almost died! I had to push the motorcycle, day after day. It could take an hour to go one metre but then in the next hour I might go 10km. The schedule for those journeys could not be predicted at all and there is nothing as painful than a trip in -50ºC that you don't know when it will end."
Did you ever fall off your motorcycle?
"Rather than falling off the motorcycle, there were many times when I could not ride it at all due to the deep snow or because of big rocks all over the surface of the ice. Most of the time my trips to the Poles were just pure hell, pushing my motorcycle."
How many hours did you ride for each day?
"In April, the sun in the Arctic is continuously above the horizon for 24 hours a day but I decided to divide my daily schedule into three parts. I spent eight hours riding my bike then I used the other eight hours for sleep and rest. The remaining eight hours were spent preparing for my trip in the morning or setting my tent up and preparing for rest at night. I tried to set a regular behaviour pattern."
Did you know you were featured in the British TV show 'Pole to Pole' with Michael Palin in 1992?
"It was a great honour to be interviewed by Michael Palin for the Pole to Pole TV series. I felt pleasure that he has the same values in creating travels and romances as I have."
Was riding up Mount Everest even more difficult than riding to the poles?
"It was a different type of difficulty. In the deep snows of the Arctic and Antarctica I had a very rough time because very often I could not ride due to the tyres being buried in the snow. On Mount Everest, where the oxygen concentration is low (it's only 40% compared with normal oxygen concentration), the power of the motorcycle dropped to 40% as well. So I had a hard time lifting and pulling the weight of the motorcycle."
You reached 19,701 feet on Everest. Is it possible to go much higher on a motorcycle?
"Above that point the rock face is sheer vertical. I repeatedly experienced fainting and collapsing. I tried to be calm and waited until my breathing got better each time while I kept pushing the motorcycle with full power in thin oxygen until that point.
"I even had to resort to pushing the motorcycle to the upper part of the mountain, like I did at the Poles. Eventually I told myself "I have worked hard enough. I will forgive myself for stopping here." I finished at 19,701 feet. I may have gone a little more."
What was the hardest part about riding up Everest?
"The most difficult thing was just to keep riding towards the top of the mountain while maintaining the motivation to continually overcome altitude sickness and decreased physical strength. Since we knew from the outset that I could never actually reach the summit of Everest on a motorcycle, it was an adventure of fighting with myself and constantly asking myself "When will you put an end to the challenge?""
Why did you choose a Honda TLR trials bike for your Everest trip?
"Because it was very light and the body was extremely slim and also because it had a quieter exhaust sound than the two-stroke TLR."
Is there anywhere you would still like to conquer on a motorcycle?
"The next goal is to ride on the moon on a motorcycle! At first I was just a boy who liked motorcycles very much, then I started thinking "Why do I like motorcycles?" I learned that the answer is this: the attractiveness of the motorcycle is the attraction of nature. In order to see such attractive nature, I rode my motorcycle to the horizon all over the world and my slogan was always 'Shoot for the Horizon!'
"The Sahara Desert was wonderful, especially as I could see 360 degrees of horizon view, but I wanted to explore the ultimate horizons. It took five years to stand on both the North Pole and the South Pole where all horizons intersect at a single point. I could see only north from the South Pole and I could see only south from the North Pole.
"By the way, ordinary time does not exist at the Poles because all the international datelines converge there. At the Poles I had reached two points on the surface of the Earth that are 'sphere surfaces' so they're different from a simple horizon and I thought to myself 'The North and South Poles are the terminal stations of my motorcycle adventure.'
"Immediately afterwards I started to think that I would like to see the whole spherical body of the Earth in its entirety and, since then, I have dreamed about going to the moon with a motorcycle. The human imagination, and dreams, are eternal."
Can you still ride now or is your leg too badly injured?
"I can't ride as well as before because my left knee and ankle are disabled and don't bend well and my feet can't rest in the usual position. Even though I competed in the Baja 1000 mile race in America last year and the year before, my physical challenge is still ongoing. But I'm planning to participate in the Dakar Rally next year."
What bike do you ride now?
"I currently own about 20 motorcycles but my favourite is my Yamaha WR450."
Does riding on a normal road feel very boring to you now after all your adventures?
"As long as I head to a place with a dream then I enjoy riding motorcycles anywhere. It is the best feeling - to run like the wind!"
How do you spend your time now and where do you live?
"I run my own company in Tokyo and work on social contribution activities and new adventure lines throughout the year. I also manage a non-profit organization called Chikyu-Genkimura. In January 2019 or 2020, I have a huge adventure project where we will gather people with disabilities from all over the world and take them to the South Pole with ice sledges. Recently, I just built a house on the hill of my home town in Yamanashi prefecture. I often spend time there with my family."
Which of your achievements on a motorcycle are you most proud of?
"To be honest, they all rank about the same but I would say the trips to the North and South Poles are my greatest memories."

Dunedin is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The name comes from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland.
As of 2004, the population of Dunedin recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 36,632. Dunedin is home to several beaches, including Dunedin Causeway, Honeymoon Island, and Caladesi Island State Park, which is consistently rated among the best beaches in the world.
Dunedin is one of the few open waterfront communities from Sarasota to Cedar Key where buildings do not completely obscure the view of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. As one drives down a 1-mile stretch of Edgewater Drive south of downtown Dunedin it offers views of St. Joseph Sound, Clearwater Beach, and Caladesi Island. Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach are a six mile drive down Edgewater.
The quaint, and thriving downtown business district of Dunedin has become a model for many other west-central Florida towns. Dunedin is striking in comparison to neighboring Florida towns for its absence of commercialized signs, franchise restaurants and retail stores.The Pinellas Trail, a 39-mile long bicycle and pedestrian trail which traverses all of Pinellas County, and downtown Dunedin. Joggers, in-line skaters and bicyclists are a common sight on the trail.
While Dunedin which is pronounced Dun-ede-in, has a small town image, it is actually a bustling city of 37,500 residents. One of the oldest towns on the West Coast of Florida, it has a wooded and subtropical setting with almost four miles of picturesque waterfront, a relaxed lifestyle, and activities for all making Dunedin a delightful place to live or visit.
Since 1977, Dunedin is the spring training home of the Toronto Blue Jays, as well as the class-A Minor League Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League. Dunedin is one of the smallest communities used by Major League spring training teams. Dunedin Stadium is situated next to the Dunedin Public Library a few blocks south of downtown on Douglas Avenue, and is just two blocks east of Edgewater Drive. Dunedin Stadium was built as a replacement to Grant Field, the Blue Jays' first spring training ball park.
Dunedin is easy to get to from all points in the Tampa Bay area. Highways serving the area include U.S. 19, making easy trips to Tarpon Springs to the North and Clearwater and St. Petersburg to the South. The community is easily accessible from major airports such as Tampa International, just 18 miles away, and nearby St. Petersburg/Clearwater International, serviced by some domestic and many charter flights.
Dunedin has a total area of 28.2 square miles. 10.4 square miles of it is land and 17.8 square miles is water.
Dunedin is bordered by Clearwater, Florida to the south and east, the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and by Palm Harbor, Florida to the north.
Honeymoon Island isn't just for lovers. A quick drive over the Dunedin Causeway brings visitors to the beautiful beaches and waters of this Florida State Park. A ferry shuttles beach-goers to nearby Caladesi Island, voted America's Best Beach in 2008 by Dr. Beach. The pioneers called it Hog Island, but it became Honeymoon Isle in 1939 when a New York developer built 50 palm – thatched bungalows for honeymooners. Today, visitors can drive across Dunedin Causeway to enjoy the sun – drenched Gulf beaches, mangrove swamps, and tidal flats. Nature lovers will find osprey nests, a wide variety of shorebirds, and one of the few remaining virgin slash pine forests in South Florida. The park boasts several nature trails and bird observation areas. Visitors can swim, fish, and snorkel in the warm waters of the Gulf or picnic while they enjoy the beautiful scenery. Shelling is particularly good here, as the Gulf currents deposit an incredible variety of seashells on the shore. Showers are available and the park´s concession has a gift shop and snack bar. Located at the extreme west end of State Road 586.
As one of the few completely natural islands along Florida´s Gulf Coast, Caladesi´s white sand beaches were rated America's Best Beach in 2008.

Who has done well out of the super-injunction saga prevalent in the UK currently? Those celebrities whose names have now been revealed? Not at all. The lawyers? Presumably.
But what of Twitter? The social media platform deemed to have changed the dynamics of the saga and elevated freedom of speech to dazzling heights: the conqueror of tyrants and celebrities who would rather their lives remained private.
Despite this rise in profile, Twitter has yet to really see a significant gain in terms of sentiment. Its overall Impression scores have edged up through May from -7 to -3 but it will want to see the increased mindshare get it bigger gains than that and it still remains down in 20th position out of 25 online brands on that measure.
So good news for Twitter in terms of making noise but when we compare its Impression score with Facebook's +19 or Google's remarkable +68 we can see that it still has a long way to go in terms of turning that noise into positive sentiment.

A parliamentary committee approved amendments to health laws that provides major momentum for Turkey's fight for tobacco control.
Amendments, one of the most comprehensive regulations after a landmark smoking ban in 2009, impose a ban on use or promotion of tobacco products on TV, TV series, films, music videos, films screened in cinemas and theater plays as well as on social media and other internet venues. The sale of tobacco products in facilities where health and education services are offered, such as universities, will also be banned.
Another revolutionary amendment is plain packaging. Instead of colorful packs deemed to encourage smoking by critics, cigarettes will come in packs with anti-smoking messages and messages indicating what smoking does to human health will cover 85 percent of the pack. All packs will be of standard size and will not have the logo of the company or type of cigarettes. Only a small space will be allocated on packs for placement of the brand. Violating the rules will be punishable with fines.
Smoking has been one of the habits most associated with Turks for decades and even created the expression: "To smoke like a Turk." In 2009, Turkey banned smoking in all indoor spaces, including restaurants, bars, cafes and similar establishments, and one year later the ban was extended to smoking in various sites such as stadiums, mosque courtyards and hospitals. Then-prime minister and incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a staunch teetotaler, is largely credited for the effective implementation of the ban that significantly limited space for smokers. Apart from the ban, the country imposed higher taxes on cigarettes and provided free medicine and treatment for smokers.
Figures indicate that after the smoking ban in restaurants, bars, cafes, stadiums, hospitals and similar establishments, the prevalence of smokers decreased. Increased taxes on cigarettes and free medical treatment for smokers aided a decline in the habit. Still, authorities are determined to stamp out smoking, which still prevails among the young and kills more than 100,000 people every year due to diseases linked to smoking. The smoking rate was 31.6 percent in 2016, the latest year with available data, a decline from 32.5 percent in 2014.

Ministry: 6 British Soldiers Missing Presumed Dead in Afghanistan
Six British soldiers are missing and are believed to have been killed in Afghanistan after an explosion hit an armored vehicle, Britain's Ministry of Defense said on Wednesday.
"I have the tragic duty to report that six soldiers are missing, believed killed, during a security patrol," said British spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Mackenzie.
The ministry said the soldiers had been on patrol in a Warrior armored vehicle on Tuesday in Helmand Province, the restive southern area where most British troops are based, when their vehicle was hit.
The servicemen's families have been informed, the ministry added.
If the soldiers are confirmed dead, it would take the total number of British forces personnel who have died while serving in Afghanistan to more than 400 since the start of operations in October 2001.
Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said the incident would not deter British forces from carrying out their role as part of NATO forces in Afghanistan.
"I utterly condemn those responsible for this incident who will ultimately fail to derail a mission that is protecting our national security at home and making real progress in Helmand," Hammond said.
"It is because of the continuing efforts of our Armed Forces, working alongside the Afghan National Security Forces, that we are on course to build an Afghanistan that can stand on its own two feet," he added.
Britain, which has over 9,000 soldiers in Afghanistan, is due to end combat operations in the country at the end of 2014.

Arundo Donax is made ??from Giant Cane, a plant native to eastern and southern Asia that belongs to the Poaceae family. This tall perennial cane contains indole alkaloids that have a high bufotenine content and are used in the manufacturing process of remedies used to fight off pain. The mother tincture of the homoeopathic remedy is made from the plant's roots. Arundo Donax is mainly used to treat allergies that manifest themselves by unbearable palate and ear irritation.
Arundo Donax is prescribed for treatment of spasmodic coryza or seasonal rhinitis caused by allergies and that result in itching or tingling sensations in the ears and palate. It can also be used as preventive treatment against hay fever and to prevent it from evolving into sinusitis or asthma. Furthermore, this homoeopathic remedy is highly effective against constant sneezing. Arundo donax can also be administered from the beginning of seasons during which allergies tend to appear, that is to say in early spring and/or summer.
Since Arundo donax is a homoeopathic remedy rich in bufotenin, it can also be used to treat inflammations that occur in the respiratory tract. However, it is mainly used to relieve the pain caused by this condition.
Arundo Donax effectively treats allergic conjunctivitis that accompanies allergic rhinitis, but also conditions caused by intolerance to pollen, dust or mites. Moreover, the remedy can reduce excessive tearing caused by this disease.
In case of severe nose or palate irritation, take 5 granules of Arundo Donax 7 CH, 3 times a day. In case of ear canal itching, the recommended dosage is 5 granules of Arundo Donax 5 CH, to be taken 3 times a day from the onset of the first symptoms. Furthermore, to prevent a recurrent allergy, take 5 granules of Arundo Donax, six months before summer or spring. To treat allergic rhinitis followed by nasal congestion, take five granules of Arundo Donax 7 CH 3 times a day until the symptoms disappear. If they persist despite taking the remedy, a medical consultation is necessary.
To prevent allergic conjunctivitis, take 5 capsules of Arundo Donax 7 CH in the morning and evening outside of meals, three months before summer or spring. And to prevent excessive tearing due to the illness, take 5 capsules of Arundo Donax 7 CH, 3 to 6 times per day depending on its severity.
Good to know: Arundo Donax is especially beneficial for children. However, it cannot be used as basic treatment and it should replace allopathic medicine.

Els plebiscits de Slesvig van ser dues votacions populars organitzades segons l'acordat a la secció XII, articles 109 a 114 del Tractat de Versalles del 28 de juny de 1919, per tal de fixar la futura frontera entre els estats de Dinamarca i Alemanya, travessant l'antic Ducat de Slesvig. El procés va ser supervisat per una comissió de representants de França, el Regne Unit, Noruega i Suècia.

Antecedents

En 1864 es van enfrontar Dinamarca d'una banda i Prússia i Àustria per l'altre en la Guerra dels Ducats. El resultat fou que el ducat danès de Slesvig es va incorporar a Prússia al costat de les províncies de Holstein i Lauenburg. L'article V del tractat que van signar les parts bel·ligerants (Pau de Praga) estipulava l'obligació de Prússia d'organitzar un referèndum en un termini de sis anys per a donar al poble de Slesvig l'oportunitat de tornar a la sobirania danesa. Aquesta condició va ser ignorada durant més de mig segle, primer per Prússia, després per l'Imperi Alemany. Finalment, en 1919 Alemanya es va veure obligada a acceptar la celebració de la consulta popular després de la seva derrota a la Primera Guerra Mundial.

Desenvolupament
El primer plebiscit va tenir lloc a Slesvig del Nord (que es va anomenar Zona I) el 14 de febrer de 1920. Tres quartes parts de la població es van manifestar a favor de tornar a formar part de Dinamarca. El vot pro-alemany només va ser àmpliament majoritari a les localitats de Tønder i Højer.

El Slesvig Central (Zona II) va votar el 14 de març de 1920 i en aquesta ocasió cada municipi havia de decidir el seu propi futur. Solament va haver majoria danesa a tres petits pobles de l'illa de Föhr. Aquesta illa es trobava al sud, lluny del límit entre les zones I i II; per això, la Commission Internationale de Surveillance du Plébiscite Slésvig va resoldre establir una frontera gairebé idèntica a la separació entre les dues zones. El pobre resultat collit per Dinamarca a les votacions a Slesvig Central, especialment a Flensburg, la ciutat més gran de tota la regió, va desencadenar al territori danès l'anomenada "Crisi de Setmana Santa" (1920). En el terç meridional de Slesvig mai va arribar a celebrar-se cap plebiscit.

El 15 de juny de 1920, Slesvig del Nord fou formalment retornat a Dinamarca (gairebé un terç del seu territori). El territori va recobrar oficialment el nom de "districtes de la Jutlàndia Meridional", normalment abreujat a "Jutlàndia Meridional". Cal tenir en compte que històricament aquest nom s'ha utilitzat per a referir-se a la totalitat de Slesvig.

Coaching is really well established in many parts of the business world as a method of helping leaders develop highly desirable skill sets, positive changes to mindset and achievement of goals. I know, I've helped many senior Executives achieve these positive results and many more.
The thing is, so many coaches, in my experience, are often too wrapped up in the world of coaching. Usually for really positive reasons e.g. they want to understand and develop their craft, which bearing in mind the responsibilities they have in their role, most of us would agree to be a wholly laudable aspiration.
For those really senior leaders who engage with their own development most of them would engage in yogic flying if you could prove it would positively impact the bottom line. The outcome is their focus not the methodology. How a coach does what they do is only of real concern once an approach has been made and even then I find many senior leaders willing to engage in a wide range of approaches if they have confidence that it will help them deliver what they need.
For many busy, under pressure, highly accountable and highly regulated senior executives of large organisations the key point is this, the delivery mechanism of change and performance improvement is much less important than the results themselves. Due to the very subjective nature of individual Executive Development, leaders will firstly engage coaches (and mentors) that have been recommended to them and secondly, those coaches who have a great track record of helping other senior leaders achieve demonstrably great results.
Buyers of coaching should not look for coaches, they should look at the results and the areas of focus that those selling coaching and mentoring can demonstrate that they have been able to help bring about. Therein lies a challenge because of the confidential nature of much of what goes on in coaching sessions but there are ways to get at that information.
Coaches could make things a lot easier for buyers by focusing less on their approaches to coaching, their accreditation etc (all important, of course!) and spend much more space helping those purchasing their services to understand what observable differences their work will bring about. For professionals who spend a lot of time being empathic in our practice of coaching it is too easy not to be similarly empathic towards buyers who want to help leaders develop. Think results and outcomes first, approach, methodology etc second.
Glenn P Wallis works with senior executives and teams to bring about significant, positive performance level changes, quickly and sustainably. His focus is on leaders leading in a way that blends strength and clarity with humility and a deep connection with those they lead. If you would like to engage Glenn to work with you or your senior leaders, please contact him here.


For those of you who've effectively sign composed the van, congrats and for those of you filling in the "apparatuses available to be purchased" adverts, hang fire, supplant that pen with a cordless drill and don't surrender so natural.
Base units come in different setups and are accessible in level pack or inflexible configuration. Board thickness, development strategies and embellishments likewise feature the contrasts between makers. The larger part have flexible legs fitted for simplicity of fitting and to counteract water entrance.
Talking as a previous installer my own decision for quality and life span is pick a cadaver of at any rate 18mm development with a back of in any event 9mm board thickness and metal sided delicate close cabinet boxes again with a strong base of at any rate 15mm board. Unbending units will save money on establishment time however generally convey no significant preferred standpoint over level pack units.
Numerous makers construct co-ordinated remains that coordinate their entryway wraps up. This is a helpful preferred standpoint when closes are noticeable however as an elective you can fit an organized end bolster board or even an entryway sash.
Most of remains are built utilizing melamine confronted chipboard and specific consideration ought to be given to the sink base body which will be very defenseless against water entrance over it's lifetime. To check this issue I have built up an item called Unitsaver. I rush to include that despite everything i'm sitting tight for the call from a bureau producer who sees the item as an extraordinary expansion to their range so up to that point I'm apprehensive it isn't accessible to the buyer.
Fitting ought to start toward the side of the kitchen. Beginning at the most elevated point in the floor, a dimension line ought to be exchanged to the dividers denoting the completed stature of your cupboards.
Corner cupboards are commonly accessible in two designs, a L-molded unit, generally 900mm width and a regular corner bureau accessible in sizes from 900mm to 1200mm. In the event that the structure permits, at that point one, the other, or both will be reasonable for your kitchen.
Modify the legs to guarantee the bureau meets the line and, utilizing a soul level, acclimate to guarantee the unit is plumb and level. Proceed with the above technique with every single resulting unit and brace together ensuring all edges are flush and level.
To interface units together, use clips inside the units to append the units both best and base, guaranteeing that the front and best edges are flush. While clipping together secure units by utilizing hardboard off cuts or comparable behind the clasp jaws.
Expel one screw from every one of the pivot back plates and turn back plate to uncover region behind. Utilizing a 5mm wood bit, drill part route through the main body behind the pivot back plate and fix the two together with a cordless screwdriver utilizing 30mm screws for 18mm units and for 25mm screws for 15mm units. Reposition back plate and fix. This will serve to disguise the settling. Assuming be that as it may, the two units are interfacing on the end side of the entryways – utilize a similar method and top the screws.

Second grade (2015-16) has been working hard on our poetry unit. We were having so much fun learning about how to use imagery to paint a picture in our readers mind, that we decided to embark on an epic three part journey to do the ultimate painted poetry project. We started our journey at the zoo where we wrote shape poems for some awesome animals. Then with the help of Mrs. Cettri & Mrs. Kirti we use our iPad's to record ourselves painting our poem's blue. Finally with some help from Mrs. Willis, Mrs Sudha, and the magic of iMove we brought our animals to life.

        var json = await client.GetAsync(uri);

        dynamic x = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

но JsonConvert.DeserializeObject просит обьект в виде строки, просто приписав .ToString() не помогает, ругается на другие ошибки. но самое интересное, что этот же код работает в Universal App.
Может, я вообще как-то неправильно пытаюсь выполнить запрос?

A: using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
using (HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(page))
using (HttpContent content = response.Content)
{

    string result = await content.ReadAsStringAsync();

    if (result != null &&
    result.Length >= 50)
    {
    Console.WriteLine(result.Substring(0, 50) + "...");
    }
}


Criminal justice systems generally consider illicit drug use to be criminal activity. These systems typically have little incentive to distinguish among types of users based on history or level of use. Moreover, if a person has used, transported, or sold an illicit drug, he/she has broken the law, and that is generally the bottom line. This lack of distinction among users may be part of the reason some states have passed laws directing drug-related arrestees to treatment rather than jail—the idea being in part that treatment centers will tailor services to meet the needs of the arrestees. This lack of distinction may also help explain the emergence of "drug courts," where judges often try to respond to the needs of individual users facing the court (Note: only a small percentage of persons arrested for illicit drugs go to such courts).

Since the arrest of Ross Ulbricht, allegedly Silk Road's Dread Pirate Roberts, conspiracy theories have been coming thick and fast and they range from the plausible to the absurd.
A lot of them involve his friend Rene Pinnell, for whom Ulbricht relocated to San Francisco – either that Pinnell is the real DPR and set Ulbricht up for the fall right from the beginning, or they are in it together and will provide each other's reasonable doubt. Then there's the one that it's all an ingenious ruse that is going to plan so that double jeopardy laws can be invoked later. Or it's all a setup so law enforcement can be seen to have done something. Or there's a good chance of parallel construction of evidence by the authorities.
I'm not much one for wearing a tinfoil hat, though I get a kick out of reading all the theories. But there has been something odd happening, which probably has a totally innocent explanation, but it's a bit weird.
Hey, if the person who emailed me an encrypted message headed "Scoop" and said they wouldn't be going back to that email addy could re-send it, I got a Decryption Failed (no public key) error. I need your public key. Use the safe-mail addy in my About page if you want.
I have a new feature in The Age today. Of course, I'd really like you all to go out and buy the paper, but if you can't do that, here's a link to the online version: The road's closed to these drugs. Or below is the TL;DR version.
If the Bitcointalk hackers are reading this, can you please let me know if I'm a lousy journo and missed the smoking gun, or if it was part of a deleted post?
I originally wrote the below in response to a lengthy, well thought-out comment by a reader on a previous blog about the changing face of Dread Pirate Roberts. But then I figured, why waste what became the length of a blog post in itself? So here is my comment, recycled and slightly amended.
I've been mulling over the conclusions I drew in my blog post a few weeks ago, "Which Pirate is That?" in light of revelations from the FBI documents following the arrest of Ross Ulbricht. Clearly, if the FBI docs are accurate – the gmail address was linked to altoid in 2011 and they swooped on Ulbricht as he was logged in as DPR – then it looks like there was only ever one DPR.
Whilst many vendors and buyers have migrated to Silk Road's two remaining competitors, Black Market Reloaded and Sheep Marketplace, other members have been working around the clock to develop and launch Silk Road 2.0.
The main contenders are a team of allegedly trusted and verified Silk Road vendors who are working together to recreate the black market virtually identically. A forum has already been created that mirrors the original and its members have been given a sneak peek at the layout of the new marketplace, which will operate under the same philosophy and rules as the old one.
Did Dread Pirate Roberts get scammed on an alleged hit?
According to FBI documents, Dread Pirate Roberts claims to have carried out one hit and was haggling on price for another. But was he the victim of an elaborate hoax?
Did DPR really fall for a hitman hoax like this?
According to the FBI's Criminal Complaint, Silk Road's owner, the Dread Pirate Roberts, sought to engage a hitman to deal with a blackmailer who was threatening to expose names and addresses of some of the site's top vendors. DPR allegedly exchanged messages with someone called "redandwhite" who offered to carry out the hit for between $150,000 and $300,000 depending on whether DPR wanted the hit to be "clean or unclean".
