File13 is a high tech, high adventure story of sibling rivalry that is played out in tights in a slightly absurd, super-powered universe. The story follows twin brothers, Scott and Randall Solson, who inherited SolTech — a floundering scientific research company — after the death of their father. Together, they returned SolTech to a place of prominence in the scientific communtiy. Randall is a ruthless, company first, bottom-line businessman out to protect SolTech's place in the market, while his brother, Scott, is a scientific genius driven by curiosity. Scott creates the technology for the military contracts Randall secures, but dreams of making the world a better place.
Their partnership ends abruptly when Randall — tired of Scott's lack of focus — buys him out and fires him. Outraged by Randall's actions, and realizing he does have an obligation to serve the greater good, Scott sneaks back into SolTech to steal the prototype combat assault neuro-armor (C.A.N.) he created — which, unfortunately, was built around the trash can on which he tested his regenerative metal formula. When Scott is forced to come face-to-face with one of his brother's clandestine "projects," a hero is born.
File 13 is intended to be a full-color, ongoing monthly series. It's a high tech, high adventure "hero's journey" with a healthy dose of absurdist humor thrown in for good measure. The stories draw on equal parts classic superhero storytelling, pop culture references, high drama, science fiction, and historic events that are stranger than fiction. The story arcs are generally two to three issues long, reminiscent of the great comics of the 1980s, though there is a larger, evolving mythology underlying the whole story. The comic's mythology's roots are set in 1925 when Scott's great-grandfather discovers something hidden for centuries and uses the technology recovered from it to form Solson Industries (which Randall later renames SolTech). From that seed the super-powered universe grows, encompassing the past, present, and future. At the start of File 13, super-powered beings haven't been seen in the world for over 25 years. Their numbers dwindled from a peak in the 1960s until all but disappearing in the mid-1980s. This changes, however, on that fateful night out on Long Island when Scott dons the neuro-armor for the first time. It serves as the catalyst that ushers in a new age of heroes with Scott at the center. On his journey, he comes across an amazing assortment of weirdoes — some are dangerous, some are friendly, but almost all of them are ridiculous.
Enter artist Ryan Gutierrez. When Hosek and Koppenhoefer finally got serious about making this project happen, they were lucky enough to come across Ryan's work on a website that Hosek used for freelance graphic design gigs. Hosek loved Gutierrez art the moment he saw it. After sifting through 100+ candidates, he was definitely the one. As it turns out, they all got along great, shared similar ideas and Gutierrez was completely on board.
File 13 will be an ongoing, monthly, full color series. The first issue will be 40 pages long with 35 story pages. There are some preview pages up for number #2 at whatisfile13.com. All funds raised by this Kickstarter will go directly toward the publication and promotion of File 13. All funds above and beyond the $7,000 pledge goal will help them obtain the best materials for #1 as well as funding additional issues in the series. Also, since File 13 is an ongoing monthly series, adding subsequent issues as stretch rewards is possible if they're lucky enough to double or triple their goal.
This project will be funded on Saturday, June 28, 2014.


The NEW BALANCE® 1260v6 is a dependable workhorse as opposed to a derby winner. It has a solid foundation and a very pleasant -yet firm enough- cushion throughout. While overall it's a bit clunky, the ride is smooth rather than stiff, and New Balance did take almost half an ounce off the shoe from the previous model in this line.
I recommend this shoe to the runner who values high support and cushion over a light, quick step.
At first this shoe reminded me the most of the Supernova Sequence 9, but in back to back testing they're really pretty different. What's similar is a nice forefoot cushion.
The 1260 is more structured and less padded throughout, however, the midsole cushioning still impressed me.
A definite plus for the 1260v6 is that after a 52 mile week followed by 18 the next day, my forefoot felt ok versus feeling a little beaten and bruised the day after running 20 miles in Kayano 23.
Upon unboxing, I first noticed the unique design features of the upper and midsole. The look of sunbeams rising into a space-like design on the lateral side and the seemingly henna-inspired print along the medial midsole is inspiring!
The NEW BALANCE® 1260v6 follows the 5th version of the 1260 and maintains the shoe's signature stability while offering a lighter ride (by .4 oz. per foot) in this newest edition.
Based on running in this shoe, I now see why the ASICS Gel-Kayano and adidas' Supernova Sequence 9 are termed "moderate stability," as I get a feeling of "high stability" from the 1260, due in part to the 1260's forefoot sole unit being 1/4″ wider than that of both of the aforementioned.
This puts it in a category to compete most closely with Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16.
The key strength of this shoe is found in it's full length ABZORB midsole which provides pleasant cushion in the forefoot and a smoothly solid base throughout.
An N2 pod in the heel is good news for heavy heel-strikers as it helps to absorb some of that impact, and the inclusion of REVlite foam makes the shoe both lighter and more springy in toe-off than the previous version.
The uniquely-designed midsole is coupled with a similarly intriging outsole. Its blown-rubber platform is made up of 6 quartered pods under the forefoot, and a similarly-shaped design covers the rest of the surface.
Like its closest competitor, the Adrenaline GTS 16, the 1260v6's forefoot sole is wider than the upper above it, enhancing stability.
A space under the heel has held onto some larger rocks for me a couple of times, kind-of annoying, but it does take some unneeded weight out of the sole unit.
The sole maintains its T-Beam feature from previous models: a lightweight TPU shank that provides torsional stability in the shoe along with arch support.
This shoe's no-sew synthetic upper wraps around the midfoot with a snug fit and is interspersed with oblong spaces to offer breathability with its support.
My heel does slip just a little, and the shoe's toe box offers a fit that's about half way between Kayano's snugness and Sequence 9's roominess.
The Adrenaline GTS 16 is said to fit small, so if that's an issue for you, the 1260v6 might be a viable alternative that still allows you to stay in your same size (length) of shoe as it feels moderately roomy in the forefoot for my medium-width foot. If you've tried them both, let us know in the comments!
New Balance has some positives in the 1260v6, most notably its cushioned ride and high stability. The drawbacks come with that territory by it being heavy and a bit clunky.
For me, I prefer a shoe that aids my attempt to keep a light, quick step, but I'll still choose the 1260 at times to mix up the forces applied to my foot.
Saying it's a "solid" shoe is perhaps the best way to describe it, both in features offered and in feel while running.
We thank the nice people at New Balance for sending us a pair of 1260 v6 to test. This did not influence the outcome of the review, written after running more than 50 miles in them.
I am interested in buying the new model NB 860 v7. Is there much difference in the amount of damping between the NB 860 v7 and the NB 1260 v6? I prepare marathon in Barcelona. My weight is 170 lbs.
I am also interested in the Saucony Guide 9.
I recently bought a pair of these (9 men's) for long distance hiking on paved streets/sidewalks, as recommended by the sales person at my New Balance store. The first pair lasted about 1 month. I walked about 200 miles of them and the soles under the forefoot (the red part on your shoes) had worn completely down to where the material underneath was visible. The material was literally coming off in chunks, like peeling skin. I returned the shoes for another pair, thinking I may have gotten a bad pair. I have put about 65 miles on the second pair, and while not as bad as the first, there is definitely some similar wear on the soles again. What's your experience been with durability?
Aside from this, I really like these shoes as they are lightweight and my feet still feel ok after a 30 mile hike, but if the soles keep wearing down like they are, I can't afford to keep replacing them.
I've never heard of that happening and have never had that happen to my running shoes, even with 1500 miles on old Kayanos. That really stinks. The 1260's are the shoe I'd recommend for your activity, too, for a running shoe.
Have you tried a trail shoe? They're heavier but have more durable soles.
If you want to stick with something lightweight, you could try ASICS GT-1000. I just had my first run in them today. They suit a wider foot, similar to the 1260, offer high stability, and are less expensive, if you have to replace offen. The cushion isn't quite as plush as 1260's but isn't bad.
Just ordered a pair of Salomon XA Pro 3D trail running shoes and will have to check out the ASICS you mention. Thanks for the suggestions!

Everyone fuels their rides a little differently, which is perfectly normal. Cycling nutrition and hydration are definitely not one-size-fits-all, but there are key principles cyclists should use as a starting point. We've selected below seven foods that are powerhouse choices to fuel up. Enjoy your ride!
On a basic level, food serves as fuel for your workouts—but not all forms of fuel are equal in terms of quality. Just like with a car, you could fill your tank with high-octane fuel or cheap gas. Sure, your engine will run either way but you're not likely to get the same level of performance out of both types—and the same is true with food and your body.
The following seven foods are powerhouse choices to fuel up for an indoor cycling session, give you sustainable energy, or help you recover afterward. Bon appetit!
A great source of whole grains and soluble fiber, unprocessed oats are loaded with energy-generating nutrients like folate, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
Oatmeal can be made sweet or savory, depending on what you add to them—and it can be "prepared in advance so you have one less thing to do before an early-morning ride," says Leslie Bonci, M.P.H., R.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and author of Bike Your Butt Off.
Plus, eating oatmeal improves satiety (feelings of fullness), according to research from Louisiana State University.
A good source of calcium, potassium, and vitamin B-12, low-fat Greek yogurt offers an ideal blend of carbohydrates and protein in a portable portion. The high protein content offers long-lasting energy since it takes a while to digest and the carbs provide a short-term energy boost to get you pedaling strongly.
What's more, consuming a higher-protein Greek yogurt as a snack leads to increased feelings of fullness and delays the desire to eat again more than a lower-protein yogurt does, according to research from the University of Missouri.
A 2014 study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that when trained cyclists consumed 75 grams of almonds before an indoor cycling session, they covered more distance and performed more efficiently than when they consumed the same number of calories from a sugary food. (Almond butter is also a good energy-boosting choice.)
What's more, almonds contain an impressive mix of protein, complex carbs, fiber, and healthy fats, as well as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, folate, and vitamin E. These nutrients help combat oxidative stress, increase oxygen in your blood, and help your body unleash energy from other foods you're eating.
Tuna or Salmon
Besides being a stellar source of lean protein, which provides a slower, more sustained rise in blood sugar, tuna and salmon are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which decrease inflammation in the body; this, in turn, boosts your circulation and the efficiency of your heart and other organs, thus helping you feel less fatigued.
Proof positive: Research from Australia found that when well-trained cyclists rode a stationary bicycle at an intensity of 55% of their peak workload under two different conditions (after consuming olive oil or fish oil capsules), their heart rates and oxygen consumption were lower as they cycled to the point of exhaustion after swallowing the fish oil.
In a 2012 study, researchers at Appalachian State University found that when trained cyclists consumed bananas during a 75-km time trial, their cycling performance and their bodies' ability to use fuel were enhanced considerably more than when they swallowed a 6% carbohydrate drink.
What's more, bananas are rich in potassium, vitamins A and C, folate, and resistant starch, a type of fiber your body can't absorb, so they keep you feeling full for longer. Bananas are an especially good pre-cycling source of fuel.
When researchers at The Cooper Institute for Human Performance and Nutrition Research gave cyclists 15 grams of honey every 16 kilometers during a simulated 64-kilometer time trial, the participants generated more watts and improved their time during the final 16 kilometers of the ride.
Because it's an easily digestible source of carbohydrates, "honey provides a quick energy boost and it's sweeter than sugar so you don't have to use as much," says Bonci.
Tart Cherry Juice
Tart cherry juice is an ideal beverage to have after a cycling workout—and not just because it helps you stay hydrated.
In a 2015 study involving trained cyclists, researchers from the U.K. found that consuming tart cherry juice accelerated recovery and reduced exercised-induced inflammation after a strenuous cycling session.
This effect can be a serious perk when it comes to dealing with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Chalk these effects up to the juice's anthocyanins, which fight inflammation and speed healing,

In our Cabernet Sauvignon, ripe flambéed dark cherries will carry on and on after the sip. The taste is not sweet, but nicely fruited, with well-rounded tannins more elegant than dense, yet still full-bodied.

Band's sense of fun makes for tuneful rock
Aug 1, 2010 at 12:01 AM Aug 1, 2010 at 9:35 AM
"We have a history with Columbus," Weezer singer Rivers Cuomo said last night during their excellent concert at the Ohio State Fair. As he rattled off their Columbus appearances in 2005, 2002, 2001 and 1997, Cuomo said, "Somebody was there."
This critic was there in 1997 to see Weezer at the Newport Music Hall. I didn't review them then, but remembered hating the show and thinking their songs all sounded monotonous. Maybe my tastes have changed, maybe I was in a foul mood at the time, or maybe Weezer has gotten a whole lot better over the years.
"Who'd have thought we'd still be doing this today? You can't keep down the Weeze," Cuomo continued as the band launched into Undone (The Sweater Song). Seriously, who'd have thought an alternative rock group in their 18th year of existence would still be having so much fun?
Fun was the order of the night, with uber-nerd Cuomo leading the antics. Among other things, Cuomo went out into the packed Celeste Center audience several times, hung out with the sign language lady, threw several rolls of toilet paper into the audience, kicked several beach balls into the audience, bounced on a mini-trampoline, doused the first couple rows with water, grabbed a video camera that was filming the show and turned it on the audience, had radio people singing onstage with him, found out a little girl named Phoebe had just turned 9, and playfully bumped into his fellow Weezers.
The fun manifested itself into fun, tuneful hard rock songs that had much of the audience standing and singing the whole time. Although Cuomo sings like he looks, he could be heard clearly and was fun to watch, especially when kilt-wearing bassist and Toledo native Scott Shriner picked him up and carried him around prior to the band's two encores.
Weezer, which has released seven albums (three of them called Weezer), did their best music from them, including Say It Ain't So, Can't Stop Partying, Pork & Beans, Buddy Holly and Beverly Hills. As an added treat, they threw in MGMT's Kids and a bit of Lady Gaga's Pokerface during the encore, with Cuomo donning a blond wig.
One Weezer fan I talked to who has several of their songs downloaded on her iPod but had never seen the group live, gave the show a 9 on a scale of 1-10, and I would agree. To paraphrase one of their songs, Weezer's concert was a near- Perfect Situation.
Motion City Soundtrack started things off, and they were a revelation. MCS is led by singer-guitarist Justin Pierre, whose gentle voice paced the Minneapolis quintet's melodic hard rock.

Phishing and Spam Lures Feature Sports, Aim to Steal Credentials
Attackers continue to use phishing and spam as a primary way to steal credentials from unwary users, with e-mails carrying links to more than 5.6 million phishing sites and laden with 36 million malware attachments, new data shows.
Software security firm Kaspersky's new quarterly review of spam and phishing data found that the most popular subjects in the e-mails included a variety of sports — including the delayed Euro 2020 soccer tournament and the Tokyo Olympics — and video games, with popular schemes including support scams, which aim to get victims to call with credit-card information, and COVID-19 scams, which aim to collect sensitive information on victims.
Overall, spam accounted for 45% of global e-mail traffic, down 1% from the previous quarter and roughly even with Q1 2021. The messages usually redirected recipients to phishing sites for major brands or, in another popular tactic, used a purported charge on a major brand's site to scare users into calling support, stated Tatyana Scherbakova, a senior Web analyst at Kaspersky, in the quarterly report.
"E-mails inviting the recipient to contact support continue to be spam regulars. If previously they were dominated by IT topics … recently we have seen a rise in the number of e-mails talking about unexpected purchases, bank card transactions or account deactivation requests," she said. "Most likely, the change of subject matter is an attempt to reach a wider audience: messages about unintentional spending and the risk of losing an account can frighten users more than abstract technical problems."
Phishing and spam remain the most common online attack encountered by companies, with 87% of security professionals saying their companies regularly detect such attacks, compared with the second most-common attack type, common viruses, which 75% of companies regularly detect, according to a Dark Reading survey of technology and cybersecurity professionals.
Attackers continue to switch up their tactics. In September, a phishing campaign used a legitimate domain to sneak past the domain reputation used by many security applications as a first line of defense. The phishing attack landed in 75,000 inboxes in a campaign that aimed to steal corporate credentials. In June, security firm Agari found that half of compromised credentials are typically verified within the first 12 hours.
"Once entered, account details are forwarded to the cybercriminals, completely bypassing malware detection software," stated Crane Hassold, senior director of threat research at Agari, in a blog post. "From there, those criminals can do what they want — often for years and without being detected. And now with enterprise migration toward cloud-based email and services, credential phishing is more popular than ever."
In its quarterly report, Kaspersky noted that global Internet portals and online stores are the brand categories most often used as phishing bait, each accounting for almost 21%. The third most-common brands come from the banking industry, which accounted for 12%.
Russia Leads in Spam
Among countries, Russia is the largest source of spam, accounting for 25% of all traffic, while Germany accounts for 14%, China for 10% and the United States for 9%. The top targeted country for phishing and spam is Spain, which is targeted by almost 10% of all malicious messages, while Russia accounted for 7%, and Italy for about 5%, according to Kaspersky's quarterly report.
The credential-stealing Agensla Trojan accounted for 10% of all malware detected, jumping by 3 percentage points from the previous quarter. The other top malicious attachments included Badun spyware at 7%, the Noon spyware at 5%, and the Taskun malware at 4%.
Among popular targets are sporting events, with some phishing attacks promising "free live broadcasts," but then attempting to charge a subscription for a phantom service. Sports video games — especially football (or what the United States refers to as soccer) — is also a popular target of phishing attacks, which promise a bonus from major game makers but are really an attempt to steal account credentials.
Support spam continues to be popular. Among the most common are e-mail messages that purport to be notices of a significant charge to a credit card from a known vendor to convince the recipient to call a fake support number.

Chuck Murphy (* 8. März 1922 in Montgomery, Alabama, als Charles Hurt Murphy, Jr; † 18. August 2001 in Charleston, North Carolina) war ein US-amerikanischer Country- und Rockabilly-Musiker.

Leben

Kindheit und Jugend
Chuck Murphy wurde in Montgomery, Alabama, geboren, wuchs aber in Decatur auf. Der Tag seiner Geburt ist umstritten, da einige Quellen auch den 8. März als Geburtsdatum angegeben. Obwohl Murphy glaubte, er wäre am 8. März geboren, gibt seine Geburtsurkunde den 7. März an. Da Murphys Mutter Klavier spielten, taten es ihr Murphy und sein Bruder Huel gleich. Stark beeinflusst von Fats Waller und Louis Armstrong, spielte er mit einer Popband in den 1930er-Jahren erste Auftritte.

Karriere
Während des Krieges zog Murphy an die Westküste, wo er in einer Dixielandgruppe spielte. Kurz danach ging er zurück nach Alabama. 1950 erhielt er einen Plattenvertrag bei Bama Records, bei denen auch schon Hardrock Gunter unter Vertrag war. Murphy veröffentlichte dort die Single Blue Ribbon Boogie, auf deren B-Seite sich das bekannte Stück They Raided the Joint befand. Manley Pearson, Besitzer des Bama-Labels, verkaufte Murphys Vertrag an Deccas Sublabel Coral Records, bei denen Murphy weitere Platten veröffentlichte.

Bis Mitte 1953 spielte Murphy für Coral acht Singles ein, unter anderem Boogie Jackson, One Beer und I'd Like to Break Your Neck. 1954 wechselte er zu Columbia Records. Seine dortigen Songs waren vor allem von seinem Klavierspiel dominiert und lehnten an den frühen Rockabilly an, der zur damaligen Zeit von dem jungen Elvis Presley bekannt gemacht wurde. Bekanntestes Beispiel ist hierfür Murphys Rhythm Hall. Der Song wurde 1954 im Tulane Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, mit Hardrock Gunter und Murphys Bruder Huel an der Gitarre, Ernie Newton am Bass und Farris Coursey am Schlagzeug aufgenommen. Später war Murphy bei MGM Records unter Vertrag.

1957 gab Murphy seine musikalische Karriere auf, da er bereits seit einigen Jahren den Wunsch verspürt hatte, Pastor zu werden. Er schrieb sich daraufhin an der Samford University in Birmingham ein und wurde 1963, nach einem Abschluss am Virginia Theological Seminary, Pastor. Diesem Beruf ging Murphy bis zu seinem Tode 2001 nach.

Prepare for your journey with this 'at a glance' breakdown of information you need to know about Cambodia to help you on your way to understanding this beautiful and fascinating country.
Cambodia at a Glance
Airport Taxes
Festivals & Public Holidays in Cambodia
Occupying an area of approximately 181,000 sq km, Cambodia is bordered to the north and west by Laos and Thailand, to the east by Vietnam, and to the south by the Gulf of Thailand. Cambodia's climate is characterised by three distinct seasons, unofficially known to resident expats as 'hot, hotter and hottest.' The rainy season extends from May to October. It is followed by a short, cool dry season from November to January, which develops into a hot dry season from February to May. Average daytime temperatures generally range from 25C to 30C, but can drop to 20C during the coolest months and hit 40C during the peak of the dry season.
Population: 15 million
Local Time: GMT +7 hrs
Tourist Visa: US$30 for 1 month
Int. Tel. Code: +855
Capital: Phnom Penh
Language: Khmer
Money: US$1 = 4000r (riel)
Business Visa: US$35 for 1 month
Power: 220V, 50C
A Constitutional Monarchy was instituted under the leadership of HM King Norodom Sihanouk, following democratic elections in 1993. The Cambodian People's Party runs the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen (CPP).
Cambodia's population is about 15 million and expanding rapidly. Khmers make up 90 percent of the population, while a variety of other ethnic groups make up the rest. They include a diverse group of Chinese, Vietnamese, Cham, and a number of tribal groups such as the Bunong, Kreung, Tampuon, Kuoy and Jarai among them.
Cambodia's national language is Khmer, which is also referred to as Cambodian. English is the first language among young students, while French is still spoken by some of the older generation. Chinese and Vietnamese are also widely spoken in urban areas and Thai is quite well understood in Western Cambodia.
Cambodia's official religion is Theravada Buddhism. It was introduced in Cambodia in the 12th century. It is enhanced by traditional animist beliefs and Brahmanist practices long imported from India to form a very Cambodian fusion religion. There are also 500,000 muslims, mostly of Cham origin.
No vaccinations are required for entry into Cambodia. However, it is recommended that all visitors be innoculated against typhoid, tetanus, and hepatitis A and B. It is not wise to drink tap water. Prescription drugs are easily obtainable in urban areas. Precautions against malaria, such as doxycycline or larium, are not necessary for Phnom Penh or Siem Reap and other urban areas, but are recommended when visiting remoter provinces. Travellers should consult their doctor or travel centre before leaving for Cambodia.
Rice and fish are the staple diet for most Cambodians. Local specialities include curries, a variety of soups, and traditional beef, pork and poultry dishes. The national dish is amok, which is fresh fish steamed with coconut, curry paste and lemongrass in a banana leaf. Fresh seafood is also available and is especially popular with visitors travelling to the coast. Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine are also common in Cambodia, as is a variety of western cuisine which can be found in abundance in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
All urban areas have minimum electricity (220 volts). Many places are equipped with private power generators. Most sockets found in hotels are French style two-pin, but most properties can provide an adaptor on request.
Cambodia offers a wide range of handicrafts, such as beautiful silverware, pottery and jewellry. Religious themes and scenes of daily life feature strongly in oil paintings and intricate carvings made from sandstone, marble and some of Cambodia's tropical hardwoods. Perhaps most attractive to visitors are the wide range of traditional silk and cotton cloths which can be made into fine clothing by local tailors at a low cost. In true Asian tradition, open marketplaces are an integral part of Cambodian life. These markets sell everything from mainstream and exotic foods, clothes and electrical appliances, to hundreds of krama, the multi-purpose scarf worn by many Cambodians. Even for non-shoppers, the markets offer a fascinating glimpse of Cambodian daily life and culture. Bargaining is possible in markets and with street sellers where no fixed prices are displayed.
There are two international gateways to the Kingdom of Cambodia. Phnom Penh International Airport serves the capital of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap International Airport acts as a popular portal to the temples of Angkor. Airlines currently servicing Cambodia include local carrier Cambodia Angkor Air (a subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines), as well as international carriers Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Silk Air, Malaysia Airlines, Dragon Air, Lao Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Eva Air and Vietnam Airlines. There are also several budget airlines, including Air Asia and Jetstar Asia. Direct flights to Cambodia are available from Bangkok, Saigon, Hanoi, Vientiane, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Guangzhou, Taipei, Shanghai and Seoul.
Daily flights are available between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, gateway to the temples of Angkor, with Cambodia Angkor Air. There are also regular flights between Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, a great way to link the temples of Angkor with the up and coming Cambodian coastline. There are also airports in Battambang, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri and Koh Kong, but they are not currently operational and there are no flights to these destinations.
US$25 for international flights from Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but it is now included in the original ticket price, so no cash payment at the airport is required. The US$6 charge for domestic flights is also included in the ticket price.
One-month tourist visas, costing US$30 and requiring one passport-sized photograph, are available on arrival at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap airports and all land border crossings. It is also possible to arrange a visa through Cambodian embassies overseas or an online e-visa (US$36) through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://www.evisa.gov.kh/. Anyone planning an extended stay should get a one-month business visa for US$35, as these are easier to renew. *There will be a US$10 increase to all visa fees from 1 October 2014.
The Riel is Cambodia's official currency (US $1 = 4000 riel), but US dollars are widely accepted. Most hotels accept international credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard and travellers cheques can be easily cashed. It is advisable for guests to use a combination of cash and travellers cheques for convenience. There are now international debit card and credit card-compatible ATMs in most major towns and cities. Small charges are sometimes levied on withdrawals. Larger sums can be withdrawn over the counter with some identification such as a passport.

Efficient rounding for the noncommutative grothendieck inequality
Assaf Naor, Oded Regev, Thomas Vidick
The classical Grothendieck inequality has applications to the design of approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems. We show that an algorithmic interpretation may also be given for a noncommutative generalization of the Grothendieck inequality due to Pisier and Haagerup. Our main result, an efficient rounding procedure for this inequality, leads to a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm for an optimization problem which generalizes the Cut Norm problem of Frieze and Kannan, and is shown here to have additional applications to robust principal component analysis and the orthogonal Procrustes problem.

The new generation of general stores is the U.S. isn't what you imagine: three of our favorites in Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon are great for picking up unique souvenirs. (For more of our top shopping spots in U.S. cities, go to http://www.travelandleisure.com/video.) Art in the Age, in Philadelphia, lures local DIY-ers to its North 3rd Street location: the shop's twice-monthly "Curiosity Club" presentations allow expert craftsman to teach locals their tricks. Workwear and kitchen tools make for fun souvenirs from Hand-Eye Supply, in Portland, Oregon, while San Francisco's Gravel & Gold stays in line with its city's roots—the patterned towels and other colorful items are perfect mementos from a trip to the freewheeling City by the Bay.
Recorded on June 28, 2011 using a Flip Video camcorder.
A general manager is any executive who has overall responsibility for managing both the revenue and cost elements of a company's income statement, known as profit & loss (P&L) responsibility. A general manager usually oversees most or all of the firm's marketing and sales functions as well as the day-to-day operations of the business. Frequently, the general manager is responsible for effective planning, delegating, coordinating, staffing, organizing, and decision making to attain desirable profit making results for an organization (Sayles 1979).
In many cases, the general manager of a business is given a different formal title or titles. Most corporate managers holding the titles of chief executive officer (CEO) or president, for example, are the general managers of their respective businesses. More rarely, the chief financial officer (CFO), chief operating officer (COO), or chief marketing officer (CMO) will act as the general manager of the business. Depending on the company, individuals with the title managing director, regional vice president, country manager, product manager, branch manager, or segment manager may also have general management responsibilities. In large companies, many vice presidents will have the title of general manager when they have the full set of responsibility for the function in that particular area of the business and are often titled vice president and general manager.
This is a list of current general managers in the National Hockey League. In the National Hockey League, the general manager of a team typically controls player transactions and bears the primary responsibility on behalf of the hockey club during contract discussions with players.
The general manager is also normally the person who hires, fires, and supervises the head and assistant coaches for both the NHL team and often the club's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, amateur and professional scouts, and all other hockey operations staff.

The Best Pharmacist
July 25, 2010 - By Jeff Klein
This book is based on the life of a pharmacist as she struggles with alcoholism, anorexia nervosa with subsequent kidney failure, drug addiction, jail, rehab and recovery, and ovarian cancer. It is a remarkable story of redemption through the 12 Steps of Recovery. It chronicles the steps this pharmacist took to produce a complete personality change resulting in her sobriety. Despite a dysfunctional upbringing, drug overdoses, a reckless lifestyle, and ovarian cancer, today, because of the 12 Step Program, she is happy, joyous, free and sober.
P. Winters says
not only in this book an inspiring story but its also a lesson on life and how to deal with the curve balls thrown at you. this woman is an amazing person and deserves a medal for what she has gone through in life. buy this book and I personally gaurantee you will love it!
Barbara S. Reeves says
I just received The Best Pharmacist in the mail yesterday and knocked it out in two sittings. It was written by Anne D. who is a pharmacist and whose life slowly spun out of control due to her addiction to drugs and alcohol. It was a very honest look at her life beginning with her dysfunctional childhood and ending with her battle with ovarian cancer several years into her new found sobriety. The Best Pharmacist is honest in a way that only a good addiction memoir can be honest. As Anne says, we're only as sick as our secrets. A recovering addict must live a life of total transparency; their life must literally be an open book, and The Best Pharmacist is the candid story of Anne's journey to hell and back.
I most enjoyed the mid-section of the book where Anne shows us how she worked each of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous with her sponsor. It was driven home to me how the Twelve Steps can help anyone live a better life regardless of whether they are an addict or not. The Twelve Steps are a practical guide to living that will enable anyone to handle anything that life throws at them as it inevitably will. The proof of this is in Anne's battle with cancer. The courage with which she battles this demon is astounding, and I don't believe she would have been able to do it so courageously without her program of recovery. And I would also say that her skillful use of humor and positive attitude is her most valuable asset.
I only wish I could have grasped the necessity of the AA program as quickly as Anne did. After my first meeting, I rejected it, and it took me eleven more years of unconsciously (and consciously) trying to kill myself before I finally "got it," before I finally realized what I was really dealing with. I applaud Anne for a job well-done and I thank her for revealing to me yet another beautiful layer in the life of recovery.
Read my book "Running Away From Me" a true memoir about my battle with drug addiction.Running Away From Me
DLP says
"The Best Pharmacist" is a great read. It speaks not only to those who have personally experienced or witnessed addiction, but all readers. It gives greater understanding of addiction as a disease. Anne D.'s experience is evidence that addiction does not discriminate in chosing its victims and also exhibits that the disease can be fought and overcome. It is an incredible story of struggle and triumph that has so much to teach. The lessons in the book are universal and I don't think it is possible to read without gaining something. I was in disbelief of all that Anne had been through in her life and I was inspired by her positive attitude and unshaken courage in facing it all. Reading this book will put things in your life into perspective and restore your faith in the human ability to conquer anything.

Python je družina IR-vodenih raket zrak-zrak s kratkim dosegom. Proizvaja jih izraelski Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Prva raketa Shafrir-1 je bila razvita leta 1959, v 1970-ih je sledila Shafrir-2. Potem so jim, zaradi prepoznavnosti na svetovnem trgu, dali zahodno ime Python ("piton"). Leta 1978 so predstavili Python-3 in za njo še Python-4, Python-5, Derby in protiletalski sistem SPYDER. Vse rakete imajo kratki doseg in IR vodenje, razen Derby ima okrog 50 kilometrov dosega in aktivno radarsko vodenje. Rakete Python uporablja več kot 15 drugih držav in veljajo za zelo sposobne.

Vse rakete uporabljajo za pogon trdogorivni raketni motor. Hitrost leta je okrog Mach 3,5-4.

Agreement is a phenomenon in natural language in which the form of one word or morpheme covaries with the form of another word or phrase in the sentence. For example, in the English sentence John walks Fido every morning, the form of "walks" is conditioned by features of the subject, "John." This can be seen by replacing "John" with an element whose relevant features are different, as in We walk Fido every morning, which results in a change in the form of "walks" to "walk" (or alternatively, a change of "-s" to an empty morpheme, Ø). Agreement is perhaps the quintessential morphosyntactic phenomenon, since it involves the morphological expression of a relation that most researchers take to be a syntactic one (though not entirely without dissent; see Morphologically Oriented Approaches). In contemporary linguistic literature, the term agreement is (somewhat unfortunately) used to refer alternately to the phenomenon itself, and to the hypothesized grammatical mechanism that gives rise to it. Unless otherwise noted, the term will be used here in the theory-neutral, descriptive sense only. Another point of terminological variability concerns the identity of the grammatical elements that enter into agreement. Canonically, the term is used to describe morphological covariance between some verbal element in a clause (typically, the bearer of tense/mood/aspect morphology) and a nominal argument in the same clause; but the term has also been used to describe many other pairings of covarying elements (e.g., nominals and their adjectival modifiers, nouns and their possessors, pre-/postpositions and their complements, etc.; and more recently, sequence-of-tense effects, pronouns and their antecedents, and even the relationship between multiple negative elements in a single clause; see Recruiting Agreement as an Explanation of Other Phenomena). Agreement is cross-linguistically very common; at the same time, languages of the world can differ quite dramatically in the amount of agreement morphology they exhibit. On one end of the scale, a language like Mandarin has nary any canonical agreement to speak of; while languages like Abkhaz, Basque, Icelandic, and others exhibit robust patterns of agreement between verbs and their arguments, nouns and their modifiers, and so forth.
Isolating the list of works that should be considered "foundational" in any given field or sub-field is obviously a highly subjective matter, where consensus can be difficult (if not impossible) to find; nevertheless, these works hopefully represent some, if not all, of the works on agreement that would deserve such designation (see also Chomsky 2000 and Chomsky 2001, both cited under Probe-Goal). Moravcsik 1978 is a pioneering typological examination of agreement across a large typological sample. George and Kornfilt 1981, Fassi Fehri 1988, Bobaljik 1995, Chung 1998, and Rackowski and Richards 2005 are ostensibly case studies on agreement in particular languages (or language families), but have proven quite influential and important to the development of the theory of agreement in general. Schütze 1997 brings together research on agreement in the adult language with the study of language acquisition. Anagnostopoulou 2003 is an innovative case study on how agreement (as well as Clitic Doubling) can inform one's understanding of the syntax of a particular construction, in this case the ditransitive verb phrase. Wechsler and Zlatić 2003 presents a theory of agreement situated within the head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG) and lexical-functional grammar (LFG) frameworks, paying particular attention to discourse phenomena, as well as Agreement Resolution in Coordinations.
Anagnostopoulou, Elena. 2003. The syntax of ditransitives: Evidence from clitics. Berlin: de Gruyter.
This detailed exploration of the interaction of clitics and agreement in the domain of ditransitives (and their interaction with passivization/raising), based primarily on data from Greek and Romance languages, has also paved the way for a considerable amount of research at the juncture of agreement and clitic doubling.
Bobaljik, Jonathan David. 1995. Morphosyntax: The syntax of verbal inflection. PhD diss., Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A comprehensive treatment of the morphosyntax of Germanic inflectional systems, couched in distributed morphology (DM; see Noyer 1997, cited under Morphologically Oriented Approaches; and Morris Halle and Alex Marantz, 1963, "Distributed Morphology and the Pieces of Inflection," in The View from Building 20: Essays in Linguistics in Honor of Sylvain Bromberger, edited by Kenneth L. Hale, Samuel Jay Keyser, and Sylvain Bromberger, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, pp. 111–176). While not exclusively about agreement (but rather, inflection more generally), this work is quite seminal in establishing the division of labor between morphology and syntax when it comes to formal treatments of agreement within a minimalist/DM framework.
Chung, Sandra. 1998. The design of agreement: Evidence from Chamorro. Chicago: Chicago Univ. Press.
In this thorough investigation of agreement in Chamorro (Malayo-Polynesian), Chung challenges and refines certain aspects of the standard minimalist treatment of agreement, suggesting that what we conceive of as agreement should in fact be broken down into two separate relations: one responsible for entering two syntactic elements into a formal relation with one another, and a second that is responsible for the actual morphological covariance (where observed).
Fassi Fehri, Abdelkader. 1988. Agreement in Arabic, binding and coherence. In Agreement in natural language: Approaches, theories, descriptions. Edited by Michael Barlow and Charles A. Ferguson, 107–158. Stanford, CA: Center for the Study of Language and Information.
A study in the agreement patterns found in Arabic, particularly relevant for agreement asymmetries in SV versus VS word orders (see also Agreement Resolution in Coordinations).
George, Leland, and Jaklin Kornfilt. 1981. Finiteness and boundedness in Turkish. In Binding and filtering. Edited by Frank Heny, 105–129. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
A groundbreaking work on Turkic syntax in general, this paper includes some of the first detailed formal analysis of agreement within the nominal domain.
Moravcsik, Edith A. 1978. Agreement. In Universals of human language. Vol. 4, Syntax. Edited by Joseph H. Greenberg, 331–374. Stanford, CA: Stanford Univ. Press.
One of the earliest large-scale typological surveys on universals, tendencies, and markedness hierarchies in the behavior of agreement cross-linguistically. Advances the thesis that the processes that create agreement markers and those that create pronouns are intrinsically similar (a thesis that is resumed in much of the more recent work on clitic doubling).
Rackowski, Andrea, and Norvin Richards. 2005. Phase edge and extraction: A Tagalog case study. Linguistic Inquiry 36:565–599.
Though its name does not immediately reveal it, this paper is a case study on the interaction of verbal agreement in Tagalog with the syntax of long-distance extraction, providing an intriguing perspective on the oft expressed intuition that certain kinds of agreement are necessary precursors to certain kinds of syntactic movement.
Schütze, Carson T. 1997. INFL in child and adult language: Agreement, case, and licensing. PhD diss., Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A proposal regarding the interaction of case, agreement, tense, and the licensing of subjects, based on data both from adult language and from language acquisition.
Wechsler, Steven, and Larisa Zlatić. 2003. The many faces of agreement. Stanford, CA: Center for the Study of Language and Information.
A comprehensive theory of agreement couched within a hybrid HPSG/LFG framework. One of the central empirical issues brought to bear is how agreement with gender-mismatched conjuncts is resolved (see also Agreement Resolution in Coordinations).

Trey Parker's House: The Cartoon Creator Cashes In On His Success
By Paula Wilson on August 8, 2013 in Articles › Celebrity Homes
It's fairly safe to assume that when Trey Parker co-created "South Park", he wasn't thinking, "Some day, I'll be famous enough to buy a $13 million mansion in Brentwood". He was probably thinking something more along the lines of, "Holy crap. I hope we don't get sued." He created the two short films that inspired "South Park" with his friend and creative partner, Matt Stone. They created "Jesus vs. Frosty" while they were in school together. After graduating and relocating to Hollywood, they created "Jesus vs. Santa", an unofficial sequel to their earlier project. "Jesus vs. Santa" was a massive hit, and eventually found its way to Doug Herzog at Comedy Central. He invited the pair to create a series, and "South Park" was born. The show is currently in its 17th season. In addition to writing, directing, and voicing many of the show's characters, Trey Parker, has also managed to find time to write a few feature-length movies and a Broadway musical. He has won four Emmy Awards, four Tony Awards, and a Grammy. He was also nominated for an Oscar. His crudely drawn cartoon featuring a bunch of trash-talking boys, has definitely blown up into a bigger career than even he might have imagined. All of his success has led to the recent purchase of the aforementioned $13 million mansion.
Trey Parker's house is spread out over roughly 10,000 square feet and is made up of seven bedrooms and eleven and a half bathrooms. The Spanish Colonial style mansion was built in 2002, and features a massive entry foyer, a formal dining room, a large living room, a library, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and an office. In addition to the opulent common spaces, Trey Parker's house has a large master suite, which includes a fireplace, a sitting room, a bathroom with a skylight, and a balcony with stairwell access to the backyard. Outside of Trey Parker's house, there is an outdoor barbecue/living room area, a heated swimming pool, and a one-bedroom guesthouse. The home cost $13,288,255. It's a rather odd sum that somehow seems to make total sense for the creator of one television history's strangest (and funniest) shows.

Government Approves First Trailblazer Apprenticeship
Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has given the green light for a new Assembly Technician Apprenticeship.
The decision, welcomed by Laing O'Rourke and CITB, paves the way for the introduction of the first 'Trailblazer' apprenticeship, designed by a partnership of construction industry employers and professional bodies.
Steve Radley, Director of Policy & Strategic Planning at CITB, said: "The Government's Trailblazer apprenticeships have given the construction industry the opportunity to develop apprenticeship standards that meet the needs of employers and improve the assessment and grading system."
"This announcement shows the Government is listening to the needs of the construction industry, which is a good first step towards creating better apprenticeships and a better-skilled workforce.
"We are working closely with Government to find ways to continue to implement the new Trailblazer approach and are keen to find ways forward to enable more Construction Trailblazer apprenticeships to be approved."
Alison Lamplough, head of operational training at Laing O'Rourke and Chair of the Construction Trailblazer group, said: "I am pleased the Government has approved one of our Trailblazer apprenticeships and I am confident that such apprenticeships will help raise standards within the construction industry."
The role of a construction assembly technician is pivotal to Laing O'Rourke's delivery approach – and new apprentices will acquire a range of competencies required to install Design for Manufacture and Assembly components to the correct specifications. On completion, participants will achieve an internationally recognised qualification – along with Level 1 (or equivalent) English and Maths.

admin July 9, 2018 July 10, 2018 No Comments on Kemi Adeosun's Exemption Certificate Was Forged.
If you thought that the NYSC Certificate Saga involving Nigeria's Finance Minister Mrs. Kemi Adeosun is over, then you are in for a real surprise as the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) has disowned the purported exemption certificate in her possession.
In a swift reaction to an exclusive story published by PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday detailing how Mrs Adeosun skipped the mandatory national service and forged an exemption certificate of the service to cover for it, the NYSC has come out to literally deny issuing out an exemption certificate to her albeit in a diplomatic language.
After countless efforts to get the right information from the NYSC by the PREMIUM TIMES had failed, the reputable Nigerian Newspaper editors decided to re-channel the request through a Freedom of Information request. This was after the reputable newspaper had first written to the NYSC on April 16, 2018 requesting verification of the certificate.
To cut a long story short, the NYSC has finally decided to come up with an official response now in July, 2018. What kept them that long in such a very serious matter? Your guess is as good as mine.
Thank God for the Freedom of Information Bill that was finally passed into law by the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan. Without that bill, we all know that all the efforts of PREMIUM TIMES in this matter would have gone in vain.
Our attention has been drawn to the issue of the alleged forgery of an NYSC Exemption Certificate by the Honorable Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.
Checking our records, Mrs. Adeosun did apply for an Exemption Certificate.
We shall investigate the origin of the purported Exemption Certificate in question.
Lest we forget, UNEEKOMUNIKATIONS on behalf of the entire righteousness-seeking Nigerian populace hereby wish to massively thank and appreciate the PREMIUM TIMES for standing up to be counted in this struggle to make Nigeria great again. Kudos, PREMIUM TIMES!


British Prime Minister Theresa May acknowledged on Thursday there was "huge frustration" that she had to request a second delay to Brexit from the European Union, urging parliament to finally support her Brexit deal.
Talks between British Prime Minister Theresa May's government and the opposition Labour Party are not close to breaking the Brexit deadlock, Labour's finance spokesman John McDonnell said on Wednesday.
European Union leaders will grant Prime Minister Theresa May a second delay to Brexit at an emergency summit on Wednesday but will argue over how long and on what terms as they struggle to end Britain's troublesome membership.

Mistrial declared in case of man charged in 18 Texas deaths
Defendant Billy Chemirmir listens to motions and language being discussed and sent to the jury after one juror is hanging up the deliberations in his capital murder trial at the Frank Crowley Courts Building in Dallas today. Chemirmir, 48, faces life in prison without parole if convicted of capital murder for smothering Lu Thi Harris, 81, and stealing her jewelry. He is accused of killing at least 18 women in Dallas and Collin counties.
DALLAS >> A Texas judge declared a mistrial today in the first murder case against a man charged with killing 18 older women in the Dallas area over a two-year span.
Judge Raquel Jones issued the ruling when a jury deadlocked after deliberating since Thursday afternoon in the capital murder case charging Billy Chemirmir with the death of 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris.
The mistrial raises questions about how prosecutors will proceed with the cases against Chemirmir, who authorities have accused of being a prolific killer preying on the elderly. The Dallas County District Attorney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In a series of notes to the court Friday, the 12 jurors said they were "hopelessly deadlocked 11 to one" over the case. It was not clear what verdict the majority of jurors supported. Jones initially resisted declaring a mistrial, repeatedly ordering the jury to continue deliberation.
After the decision, family of the women Chemirmir is accused of killing spoke outside the courtroom, which they'd been prohibited from entering during the trial as a COVID-19 precaution. They expressed frustration with the mistrial, anger with the juror they saw as a hold out against conviction and hope for a different outcome in another case against Chemirmir in Fort Worth.
Chemirmir's attorneys rested their case without calling any witnesses or presenting evidence, and the 48-year-old didn't testify in his own defense. They dismissed the evidence against their client as "quantity over quality" and asserted that prosecutors had not proved Chemirmir's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Chemirmir was arrested in March 2018 after 91-year-old Mary Annis Bartel said a man forced his way into her apartment at an independent living community for seniors in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
When police tracked Chemirmir to his nearby apartment following the attack on Bartel, he was holding jewelry and cash. Documents in a large red jewelry box police say he had just thrown away led them to a Dallas home, where Harris was dead in her bedroom, lipstick smeared on her pillow.
After his arrest, authorities announced they'd begin reviewing hundreds of deaths, signaling the possibility that a serial killer had been stalking older people. Over the following years, the number of people Chemirmir was accused of killing grew.
For the families of most of the women he's been charged with killing, they learned months or years after their loved one's death that authorities believed they'd been killed. Those families had puzzled over the suddenness of their older but otherwise healthy and active loved ones' deaths, and in many cases, filed police reports when jewelry was found missing after their deaths.
Bartel died in 2020 but jurors heard from her during the trial through a taped deposition. She said she did not remember details of the appearance of the man who attacked her but said she knew she was in mortal danger the minute she opened her door.
"My eyes were just fixated on these green rubber gloves that I saw. … I knew instantly when I saw those two green rubber gloves, number one, I should not have opened the door, number two, my life was in grave danger," Bartel said on the video.
She said that she tried to push the door shut but was overpowered. "He said: 'Don't fight me, lie on the bed,'" Bartel said.
Bartel described a pillow being smashed into her face and her attacker "using all his weight to keep me from breathing." Chemirmir was charged with attempted capital murder in the attack on Bartel.
Jurors saw surveillance video from a Walmart showing that Harris and Chemirmir were at the store at the same time, just hours before she was found dead.
Most of the victims were killed at independent living communities for older people, where Chemirmir allegedly forced his way into apartments or posed as a handyman. He's also accused of killing women in private homes, including the widow of a man he had cared for in his job as an at-home caregiver.
Harris' son-in-law, Richard Rinehart, testified that the jewelry box found in the trash when Chemirmir was arrested belonged to his mother-in-law, as did numerous pieces of jewelry officers found then.
Evidence presented showed that Chemirmir was also in possession of numerous $2 bills at the time, and Rinehart testified that his mother-in-law loved giving them as gifts.
Police have also said that a set of keys found with Chemirmir when he was arrested opened the front doors of Harris' home.
Jurors also heard about the killing of of 87-year-old Mary Brooks, who was found dead in her Richardson home in January 2018. Hers was one of the 18 Chemirmir has been charged with.
Prosecutor Glen Fitzmartin said that Brooks' death had originally been called a natural death, but after an investigation following the arrest of Chemirmir, the medical examiner changed the cause of death to homicide.
Fitzmartin said that Chemirmir also followed Brooks home from the same Walmart Harris was at before her death. Her daughter, Ann Brooks, testified that after her mother's death, her mother's safe was missing, as was most of her jewelry, including wedding rings and a coral necklace she always wore.
Chemirmir, who immigrated to the U.S. from Kenya, became a permanent U.S. resident in 2007.
