Parks Canada (PC; ), is the agency of the Government of Canada which manages the country's 48 National Parks, three National Marine Conservation Areas, 172 National Historic Sites, one National Urban Park, and one National Landmark. Parks Canada is mandated to "protect and present nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage, and foster public understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment in ways that ensure their ecological and commemorative integrity for present and future generations".

The agency also administers lands and waters set aside as potential national parklands, including 10 National Park Reserves and one National Marine Conservation Area Reserve. More than  of lands and waters in national parks and national marine conservation areas has been set aside for such purposes. Parks Canada cooperatively manages a large majority of their protected areas and heritage sites with Indigenous partners. The Canadian Register of Historic Places is supported and managed by the agency, in collaboration with provincial and territorial governments and other federal bodies. The agency is also the working arm of the national Historic Sites and Monuments Board, which recommends National Historic Sites, Events, and Persons.

The minister of environment and climate change (Steven Guilbeault since 2021) is responsible for the agency, and it is managed by its chief executive officer (Ron Hallman since 2019). The agency's budget was $1.3 billion in the 2020–2021 fiscal year and it employed 4,666 public servants in March 2021.

History and role
Parks Canada was established on May 19, 1911, as the Dominion Parks Branch under the Department of the Interior, becoming the world's first national park service. Since its creation, its name has changed, known variously as the Dominion Parks Branch, National Parks Branch, Parks Canada, Environment Canada – Parks Branch, and the Canadian Parks Service, before a return to Parks Canada in 1998. The service's activities are regulated under legislation such as the Canada National Parks Act, and the Parks Canada Agency Act, which established the current legal incorporation of the agency in 1998.

To mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, Parks Canada offered free passes to national parks and national historic sites for the year.

Public safety and enforcement

Park Wardens protect natural and cultural resources by conducting patrols of National Parks, National Historic sites and National Marine Conservation Areas. They ensure the safety of staff, visitors and residents, and conduct strategic enforcement activities aimed at public peace maintenance, resource protection, visitor enjoyment and administrative compliance. They are designated under section 18 of the Canada National Parks Act as Park Wardens and are peace officers as defined by the Criminal Code. They carry firearms and non-lethal intervention options.

The minister may also designate provincial and local enforcement officers under section 19 of the Act for the purpose of enforcing laws within the specified parks. These officers have the power of peace officers only in relation to the Act.

In May 2012, it was reported that Park Wardens may be cross designated to enforce certain wildlife acts administered by Environment Canada. Should the designations go ahead it would only be for Park Wardens that are stationed near existing migratory bird sanctuaries.

Essentially the intent of the change is to allow for a faster and lower-cost response to environmental enforcement incidents, particularly in remote areas in the north where Environment Canada does not have an ongoing presence, but Parks Canada has a Park Warden nearby who could act on its behalf, rather than have Environment Canada responded from a farther office.

Ecological integrity monitoring

According to Panel on Ecological Integrity Report in 2000, "the idea of conserving nature unimpaired has been part of national parks' legal mandate since 1930". The term "ecological integrity" was put into the 1988 amendments to the National Parks Act but was in park policy as early as 1979. The Panel on Ecological Integrity Report proposed the following definition: "An ecosystem has integrity when it is deemed characteristic for its natural region, including the composition and abundance of native species and biological communities, rates of change and supporting processes". There is a significant amount of debate surrounding the definition of ecological integrity. As can be seen through the evolution of the term, ecological integrity is deeply rooted in notions of symbiosis, sustainability, and holistic management practices.  There is a fair amount of debate surrounding the definition of the term in the academic world as well. For example, "[ecological integrity]has a high degree of linguistic elasticity and should there ever be a legal challenge to its use, there are no precise and clear definitions for it". Regardless of the fluidity of the term, there are some common elements, "There are, however, certain common elements found in many definitions: naturalness, wholeness, continuity through time".

According to the most recent iteration of the Canada National Parks Act S.C. 2000, c.32., Parks Canada is responsible for the ecological integrity of all national parks. To cite section 8 (2): "Maintenance or restoration of ecological integrity through the protection of natural resources and natural processes, shall be the first priority of the Minister when considering all aspects of the management of park" (Canada National Parks Act, 2000). This law put additional onus on Parks Canada Agency to implement a robust science-based conservation and monitoring program.

Following the publication of the Panel on Ecological Integrity Report in 2000, Parks Canada Agency released Status on Agency Progress since First Priority in 2008 as a response. One major stride mentioned is the implementation of a policy requirement for national parks to report on the state of ecological integrity every five years, summarizing reports from monitoring programs in place. This State of the Park report was designed to ensure accountability in the management structure of Parks Canada Agency. In the author's words, "The State of the Park report is the accountability mechanism for Field Unit Superintendents to report to the CEO on achieving the Agency's Corporate Plan performance expectations related to maintaining and improving ecological integrity". In addition to this reform, Parks Canada also updated and released the Agency's Guide to Management Planning in 2008 to restructure the agency and ensure that this new integrated approach could be applied to all national parks.

With these changes, Parks Canada formally began monitoring for ecological integrity in 2008 and is ongoing to date. These modifications are consistent with the Office of the Auditor General of Canada's observations in the 2005 report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development. For example, "The 6 to 8 ecological integrity indicators for each national park measure the health of Canada's national parks by reporting on the indicator's condition and trend (improving, stable or declining) over time". This ecological integrity monitoring program summarizes the state of a park's ecological integrity using "good, fair, poor". Parks Canada's ecological integrity monitoring program is based on three publications: Monitoring and Reporting Ecological Integrity in Canada's National Parks Volume I: Guiding Principles (2005) and the compendium document, Volume 2: A Park-Level Guide to Establishing EI Monitoring (2007), Consolidated Guidelines for Ecological Integrity Monitoring in Canada's National Parks (2011).

The most recent iteration of guidelines for ecological integrity monitoring, Consolidated Guidelines for Ecological Integrity Monitoring in Canada's National Parks (2011), is significantly more robust and science based. Some of the notable improvements include the integration of a trend variable designed to demonstrate whether the indicator is deteriorating, stable or improving. In addition, the inclusion of quantitative thresholds to determine the state of indicator will allow for more accurate results. Lastly, the incorporation of an "Iceberg Model for EI Indicator" provides a more holistic approach, fostering increasingly complete results.

One of Parks Canada's most recent publications, Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators: Ecological integrity of national parks (2018), demonstrates how effective Parks Canada's recent efforts have been. More exhaustive science-based methodology allows for more precise results and ultimately, better management. This document, and all results, are based on the assessment of 118 ecosystems throughout 42 national parks across Canada. Parks Canada Agency claims that 68 per cent of parks sampled are in good condition, 20 per cent fair, 17 per cent poor. Furthermore, of the 118 ecosystems sampled, 69 per cent are stable, 19.5 per cent are improving and 12 per cent are declining, according to Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators: Ecological integrity of national parks (2018). This is a notable improvement, considering that in 2000, 54 per cent of parks were suffering some form of major or severe ecological stresses. In 2018, there are 12 ecosystems rated as poor, 20 EI indicators in decline, particularly forests and freshwater environments. Overall, this improvement is a testament to what Parks Canada Agency's ecological integrity monitoring program is capable of.

Parka, a female beaver, is Parks Canada's mascot. A series of animated shorts starring her are hosted on the organization's website and have also been aired on television as interstitials.

Organization
The Parks Canada Agency was established as a separate service entity in 1998 and falls under the responsibility of Environment and Climate Change Canada. Before 2003, Parks Canada (under various names) fell under the jurisdiction of the Department of Canadian Heritage, where it had been since 1994. From 1979 to 1994, Parks Canada was part of the Department of Environment, and before it was part of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs (1966 to 1978), and the Department of the Interior. With the organizational shifts and political leadership in Canada, the priorities of Parks Canada have shifted over the years more towards conservation and away from development. Starting in the 1960s, Parks Canada has also moved to decentralize its operations.

Q: disable DatePicker if input field is readonly I have a problem, with the DatePicker.
Basically, I only want it enabled, if a checkbox is checked (Default is disabled).
If I set the DatePicker to disabled, I have a problem with saving the TextBox value, across postbacks. So, I have to set the datepicker as enabled, when the page loads.
My idea, as a work-around, was to set min/max date to negatives, meaning you cannot pick any dates. The DatePicker will still appear, but at least a date cannot be picked. The problem though, is how do I remove my min/max settings again (when the checkbox is clicked), to enable selection again?
Also, are there any other way to suppres the DatePicker?
I don't really know what code I can possibly post, but this is my DatePicker constructor:
$("#<%= txtReleasedDate.ClientID %>").datepicker({ dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd', minDate: -1, maxDate: -2 });

What I would like, is a way to remove minDate and maxDate from it again.

A: After getting a hold of my local, jquery expert, he suggested that I read the documentation, where it clearly said, that you could set minDate to null. Oops..
$("#<%= txtApprovedDate.ClientID %>").datepicker({ minDate: null });

Low-Grade Gliomas
Childhood Brain Tumor Center
What Is a Childhood Low-Grade Glioma?
Low-grade gliomas are brain tumors that originate from glial cells, which support and nourish neurons in the brain. Glial tumors, or gliomas, are divided into four grades, depending on their cells' appearance under a microscope. Grade 1 and 2 gliomas are considered low-grade and account for about two-thirds of all pediatric tumors.
In addition to their grade, low-grade gliomas are also classified based on their location and by the kind of glial cell — astrocytes, oligodendrocytes or ependymocytes—from which they arise. Most low-grade gliomas are both highly treatable and highly curable. The most common kind of low-grade glioma, called a pilocytic astrocytoma, has a cure rate over 90 percent.
Low-grade Glioma Treatment at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's
Children and adolescents with glioma are treated at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's through the Brain Tumor Center's Glioma Program, one of the largest and most experienced pediatric glioma programs in the world. Our glioma specialists — a team of neuro-oncologists, surgeons, pathologists and radiation oncologists — focus solely on the care of children diagnosed with gliomas. The Glioma Program also offers families the chance to have their child's tumor molecularly profiled (as long as a biopsy can be taken), which may help identify opportunities for targeted treatment.

The Cineporto in Italy combines modern aesthetics with intricate design aspects.
In Lecce, Italy, a new film center was unveiled that combines minimalistic aesthetics with aspects of a modern airport. The building is called Cineporto, which is a combination of the words 'cinema' and 'airport' in Italian. What was once an industrial building, Metamor Architects has now transformed into a space with connected areas such as the high-definition film screening rooms, production offices and casting studios.
The interior of Cineporto is impressive and exudes creativity with curved hallways, neat typography running along the floor, beautiful furniture and ambient lighting. As you walk in the main entrance (Knos), you immediately get a feel of the simplistic yet contemporary environment.


One of the most common issues I used to run into when frosting my cakes would be airy buttercream. It frustrated me because I wanted a completely smooth look, but there were all these little air bubbles dispersed throughout my buttercream.
If you have experienced this too, I've got some tips that will hopefully help!
When whipping your buttercream, always use your paddle attachment because using the whisk will incorporate too much air. At the end, go in with your rubber or silicone spatula and mix by hand, knocking out the air bubbles. You can also use a wooden spoon to do this.
Don't mix at a high speed because this can cause more air to get in. It's better to mix at a lower speed for a longer time.
When using your cake smoother, start by going around your cake very slowly. After each scrape with your cake smoother, remove any excess buttercream, and then start again.
Another tip while frosting with your cake smoother: heat the smoother by placing it in warm water or quickly use a blow torch on it first, and then smooth out your cake. The heat will slightly melt the buttercream and get rid of any lines or air bubbles.
Do you have any other tips? Leave a comment below!


The Signature packages are offered in three service tiers to provide a complete Barbershop experience in one booking. This includes and extends to, a wash cut & finish, a hot towel shave, and a barbershop facial.
Take a seat at the Barber Station for a consultation with your barber in order for us to determine how you would like your hair cut and styled, which is then followed by a brief examination of your skin type and the pattern of your facial hair growth, which will allow your barber to assess how best to prepare you for the shave. Your barber will also ask you about any problem areas that you may experience when shaving on a day to day basis. With the important bits out the way you can now relax with a cold beer and catch up with the latest news on your personal TV as your barber gets set to work.
The Classic Signature includes a Gents cut with a wash and scalp massage followed by a Classic hot towel shave. You will first be reclined to receive a menthol pre-cream application and a hot towel wrap, followed by a copious hot lather to get you ready for the shave. You're then finished off with a final hot towel and a soothing after balm before being seated up for a blow dry and style – not forgetting a traditional talc down and a splash of fine cologne before we say " why thank you sir".
The Deluxe Signature includes an Esquire cut with a wash & scalp massage followed by a deluxe hot towel shave to include an application of menthol & eucalyptus pre-cream and generous hot lathers, two hot towel face wraps, and a geranium gel face mask applied with continuous steam to cleanse & replenish the skin post the shave. The mask is then removed with a final hot towel, followed by an application of soothing post balm and mosituriser, before being seated up for a blow dry and style – We of course finish you off with a final talc down and a splash of fine cologne.
The Californian Signature includes a GQ designer restyle with a wash & scalp massage followed by a Californian Hot Towel Shave, the process of which is adopted from our classic hot towel, but includes a constant flow of steam, allowing the pores to fully open before working in a calming face wash. Cleansing continues with the use of warm sponges and hot towels before lightly brushing on a deep sea mineral face mask to the t-zone, which is later removed with two final hot towels and an alcohol free mint toner. On completion, a soothing Tea Tree and cooling Menthol post balm is applied to renew, calm, and condition the skin, before seating you up for a blow dry and style – whilst not forgetting a final talc down with a splash of Barberia cologne. The Californian Signature is carried out with the use of Baxter of Californian products (only) and carries a total of five hot towels.

Our first look at Horde 3.0 in Gears of War 4 gave us our first taste of Run the Jewels next album. Oh, and there was some gameplay mixed in too. At PAX, The Coalition blew the doors on Horde 3.0 wide open with a special 'First to Fifty' live stream. Did you miss it? The developers have your back with a new developer post outlining the class system and more in Horde 3.0. Let's dive in.
With Horde 3.0, The Coalition wants to put the focus back on you. More importantly, your choices. You can build fortifications where you want when you want. And move them around at any point during gameplay. One side getting rushed more than the other? Shift an already planted turret over there.
All of this is done via a new device called a Fabricator. Imagine a 3D printer pumping out turrets and spiked fortifications. No little wrenches here. If it kills, it builds.
Engineer: This is your base builder. The Engineer gets discounts on building and repairing fortifications. If the player using this class is doing it right, they should always build more than any other class.
Engineers start the match with an Enforcer (rifle), Gnasher (shotgun) and Snub (pistol). You won't rack up the most kills, but solid play from an Engineer will be instrumental in reaching late rounds and winning. Engineers also start with a free Repair Tool.
Heavy: Starts with a free Boomshot. Need I say more? The Heavy is your big damage dealer. But it's up to you (and your aim) to get the job done. A Marked Damage boost ability (markers placed on enemies by the rest of your team) combined with the Heavy class will make Horde 3.0's toughest enemies a bit more manageable.
The Heavy Class kicks off each match with a Retro Lancer (rifle), Boomshot (power weapon) and Boltok (heavy pistol). You'll also get a Mortar Strike ability in case the action gets a little too hot.
I know who I'm picking. The free Boomshot and mortar ability makes the Heavy class way too enticing to pass up.
Scout: Like to run-and-gun? Scout is your class. Your job is to grab Energy from fallen enemies across the battlefield. A passive ability granting double energy pickups during combat makes the risk worth it.
Scout's X-Ray vision can also help teammates better set up fortifications as they find out where exactly enemies are coming from. The Scout Class gets a Retro Lancer, Gnasher and Snub for starting weapons. I doubt anything but the Gnasher gets much use though if you're charging around the battlefield.
Sniper: It's pretty self-explanatory. You'll want to keep your distance as you start with two marksman weapons (Markza Mk. 1 and Longshot). The Coalition's dev post also mentions two unique Fabricator skills – Sniper Strike (taking out a group of enemies) and Radar Ping (marking enemies).
The Sniper, more than any other class, relies on personal skill. If you aren't hitting shots, you're going to drag the rest of the team down.
Soldier: This is the class for folks who just want to blast enemies and blow stuff up. You'll kick things off with a Lancer, Gnasher, Snub and some frag grenades. Your skills focus on doing more damage with Assault Rifles. Bigger clip, more damage per shot, active bonuses – the choice is yours. You can even select skills that let you plant minefields.
And if all that fails, a Hammer of Dawn Strike can always be used. It uses a lot of Energy, but it'll keep you alive.
Besides the unique class skills, there's also five general skills that can be equipped by any class. The Coalition designed these skills to be useful if your team is missing a certain class. Say if there's only three of you playing. These general skills will help fill in the abilities you're missing from not having two other players.
And if you're taking chances with random players online, The Coalition is adding individual difficulty matchmaking. Hopefully, this will make matchmaking go smoother as random teams can make it further to Wave 50 without players constantly quitting near the beginning.
Gears of War is best known for its fun, brutal multiplayer. But there's a sizable chunk of the player base who enjoys the hell out of Horde mode. It's great to see The Coalition put a lot of time in making this part of the fanbase happy. We'll see how Horde 3.0 is received by players next month.
Did you play it at PAX earlier this month? Let me know what you thought.

Q: Can you play Black Ops 3 multiplayer cross platform on Xbox One and Xbox 360? My friend is going to get Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 but the problem is that he has a Xbox 360 and I have a Xbox One. Could we still play together on the game in multiplayer?

A: Unfortunately, no.
Microsoft have denied the fact that games will be made cross platform. However, the head, Phil Spencer, is now open to the idea of cross platform party chat.
Here is what Xbox Marketing Manager Harvey Eagle had to say: "Because of the different architecture of the systems it's not possible. Your Xbox Live account on 360 will carry over to Xbox One. That same account will work on both platforms. The multiplayer won't."

Aishwarya Rai, Who Told 'Me Too' Story 16 Yrs Ago, Wants Momentum To Continue
Aishwarya Rai, Who Told 'Me Too' Story 16 Yrs Ago, Wants Momentum To Continue
Bachchan had spoken out in the past against the abusive relationship she shared with Salman Khan
Entertainment Desk
The way a few top stars have commented about the Me Too movement may have been infuriating, but there is still hope in the form of people like Swara Bhasker, who has strongly advocated for believing all the survivor stories. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is another top female star, who had spoken out in the past about her abusive relationship with Salman Khan.
Like most stars, Aishwarya was also asked for her opinion on the Me Too movement gaining force in India. Instead of side-stepping it, she said, "I have always spoken out, I spoke in the past, I am speaking now, and I will continue to speak."
She also pointed out how social media has been able to provide a platform for all the women who want their stories to be heard. "Social media has enabled the conversation and any woman who comes from any part of the world today has a voice that will be heard," Bachchan was quoted in a Hindustan Times report.
Bachchan was attending the launch of L'Oreal Paris X Sabyasachi Calcutta when she said that there was no correct time to share stories of abuse. "When it comes to helping women find their voice, find the strength, feel confident about sharing their stories, it's not about the current time. This has been going on since a lot of time and I am glad it has found a certain momentum today," she said.
Although she made a generic comment about the Me Too movement that has exposed the predatory nature of men in different industries, Bachchan stressed on the need for the movement to keep going. She told HuffPost India, "The #MeToo movement has been the need of the hour since time immemorial and I hope together we keep the momentum going. At the same time, if a case gets sub judice, we have to respect the law of the land."
In 2002, Bachchan had spoken out against the physical abuse she faced at the hands of her then boyfriend Salman. The couple broke up in March 2002, but the rumours of Salman threatening Aishwarya continued long after that even when she was rumoured to be dating Vivek Oberoi.
Watch Salman Khan's ridiculous answer when a journo asked if he had hit Aishwarya Rai pic.twitter.com/BFAbfKIFKS
— Od (@odshek) May 25, 2017
In an interview with NDTV that resurfaced last year, Salman was asked if he had raised his hand against a woman. Salman responded saying, "Now if I hit somebody…if's a fight, I am going to be angry. You know, if I am going to whack, I am going to give her my best shot. I don't think she would survive it."
Soon after Tanushree Dutta's allegations against Nana Patekar came to the fore, celebrities like Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker, Twinkle Khanna, and Priyanka Chopra have extended their support to Dutta.


Fasting run around St. Charles.
Warmup. Not because I particularly wanted to win but, after this morning's run, I didn't want to injure myself either.
DRC club "5K". (Course was intentionally heavy). I did end up "winning", but everything about this event is in quotes. Good time had by all.
Not a particularly restful day, but, no running.
In to work bia bus.
In to work via bus. Still no pain in the knee, but not much confidence, either.
Home from work at 50-mile pace (100-mile pace without the walk breaks). Knee seems to be OK.
Knee isn't hurting, but I don't think it's quite right either. So, I took the powerline route home at 100-mile pace, complete with walk breaks. Didn't make things worse.
Leaving the injury flag off for the moment, but whatever has been wrong with my knee got a whole lot worse yesterday. Bugged me a bit at near the end of the run and then really got bad in the afternoon. I slept with it wrapped and woke up this morning in slightly better shape, but running was still out of the question.
Went for a walk at CC Lake after work to loosen it up. If I have to miss another day, I'll start treating it like a legit injury (which I guess would include finding out what's actually wrong).

BEIJING, May 27 (Xinhua) -- E-commerce powerhouse JD is in hot water after two customers accused the largest Chinese online retailer of selling refurbished iPhones.
The situation came to the fore Sunday, when state broadcaster CCTV ran a program on product quality, in which two customers claimed to have purchased defective iPhones with fake components that may lead to complete shutdown of the phone.
One of the shoppers told CCTV that the iPhone 4S he bought on the website had many problems including frequent shutdowns, no signal and a non-functioning slide bar on the phone screen.
Another who encountered similar problems said checks by an Apple Store employee suggested her iPhone 5C Wholesale Toronto Blue Jays Jersey , also purchased on JD, had been refurbished.
Chinese e-commerce is booming, with online retail trade increasing 49.7 percent year on year to 2.8 trillion yuan (450 billion U.S. dollars) in 2014, but online shoppers complain about fake products flooding the Internet.
Last month, the American apparel and footwear association filed complaints with the U.S. securities and exchange commission and the U.S. trade representative's office, claiming counterfeit apparel and footwear are widely available on Taobao Wholesale Washington Nationals Jersey , JD's biggest competitor.
Alibaba, owner of Taobao, reiterated its resolve to fight counterfeits and to continue to do everything it can to stop illicit activities through cooperation with quality watchdogs and brand owners.
JD, which promises all genuine products on its online mall, issued a brief statement following the exposure, saying that all its iPhones were supplied by VSENS Cheap Atlanta Braves Jersey , an Apple-authorized store. JD later issued another statement promising that the supply channel of its iPhones is trustworthy and it will work with market watchdogs to investigate the issue.
VSENS also issued a statement that it never did any refurbished phone business, and that all its iPhones were purchased from Apple.
Apple overtook homegrown brand Xiaomi to become China's largest smartphone vendor in the first quarter of 2015. Chinese customers can buy iPhones at all of the country's major online marketplaces.

The research Gap
India's R&D appears to be going somewhere finally. R&D expenditure, in absolute terms, is up three-fold over the last decade. While 70 per cent of R&D in India is still government-funded, and 60 per cent of this goes towards defence—with very few commercial spin-offs—this picture is changing as private investment in R&D is now rising faster than government spending. Apart from the pharmaceuticals sector's R&D outlay, which has risen rapidly for understandable reasons, India is now host to 150 R&D centres set up by international companies—or so, says a report from Demos, one of the UK's influential think tanks. More than 100 of these were opened in the last four years. Another figure, to buttress the same claim, is that foreign firms invested over a billion dollars in Indian R&D centres between 1998 and 2003.
The question then is, why does India continue to lag behind other countries in the World Bank's Knowledge Index? Worse, why has it even slipped vis-à-vis itself? On the World Bank's latest Knowledge Economy Index, which takes into account not just R&D but the entire ecosystem that allows R&D efforts to blossom into something meaningful, India scored 2.8 in 1995 and a marginally lower 2.71 in the most recent score card.
China, by way of comparison, has raised its score from 2.83 in 1995 to 4.26 in the most recent score card, and Brazil from 4.73 to 5.1, while Russia has remained more or less at the same score of 5.9. India's numbers are slightly higher if you do not weight the index by population, but then so are those of other countries and the net impact is the same—India has lost ground. The standard argument given for this has been the low level of R&D spending in the country, the small number of papers by Indians that get cited in respected scientific journals (between 1997 and 2001, India had 77,201 citations, versus China's 115,339), the low levels of literacy and the limited number of college graduates. If weight them by GDP per capita, India tops the global charts with 32 scientific publications in the Scientific Citation Index; China is at 23 and the US is only seven. All that may well be true, but many will question this as a basis for judgment. In any case, it does not allow the country to get away from the fact that India's R&D output lags behind that of competitors like China. Its 229 universities are manifestly unequal to the task of rapidly ramping up the number of PhDs, critical for any R&D expansion programme. The issue here is not just R&D spending, which is important, but also the environment for such activity. Universities continue to be tightly controlled by the government and are mired in red tape and bureaucratic procedures—not to mention virtually frozen pay scales at a time when salaries in the private sector are rising rapidly. And when it comes to industries such as pharmaceuticals, which drive R&D to a large extent, the government's policy has been to control prices and profits, thus taking away the ability to spend on research. In short, while foreign companies may set up research centres in India to make use of the country's low-cost technical manpower, that should not be taken to mean that things are going well on the research front. A great deal of action is required on multiple fronts before that claim can be made.


It appears quite a few people (including myself) have decided to purchase the Metal due to the excellent price at Expansys. Subsequently, I reckon there are going to be a few questions on how to install a custom ROM etc. so I've put together this guide.
This guide isn't really my own I've just taken the information from here, here and here and aggregated it.
13.) Select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' (don't wipe the SD Card).
14.) Go back and select 'Install .zip from SDCard' and browse to the ROM file, confirm.
Important Note: SD Download Mode (Step 4) checks if the language in the BIN files are consistent, this may mean you need to use the Acer Download Tool from here to flash BIN files of a different language. It's probably a good idea to try this utility if you get error messages at step 4.
Flash the BIN file in /acer_ug/acer_xx/whateverfile.bin using the download tool, select the BIN File in the Merged OS File section. See screenshot attached.
Thanks to Vache for instructions 1 to 10 & Thanks to lgcmn for the basic structure of the guide from this thread: http://android.modac...final-tl-metal/ & Thanks to Vikings123 for notifying me of the limitations of SD Download mode. Also, Thanks flibblesan for pinning this. Thanks for Chrishund for letting me borrow the instructions on how to root.
Sorry if there are any mistakes or anything else to be aware of, if so please let me know and I'll amend them.
Partitioning your SD Card for A2SD/Link2SD etc.
For the guide I'll be using the Partition feature from AmonRa Recovery available here. You can use apps like Gparted etc. as well as ClockworkMod Recovery if you prefer.
Before beginning you need to have rebooted into Recovery Mode. To this with the respective key combo's above or use 'ADB Reboot Recovery' when your phone is plugged into a computer with USB Debugging enabled.
1.) Mount your phone as USB or go into Recovery and select USB MS Toggle and plug the phone into a PC.
2.) IMPORTANT: Backup/Copy the entire contents of your SD Card onto your PC.
3.) Unmount/Disable USB MS and either reboot or go back to recovery.
5.) For the sizes select 0 for Swap. Make the EXT size at least 512MB for A2SD and the rest should be FAT32.
6.) Confirm. All your data on the SD Card will be lost.
8.) Re-enable USB MS toggle and copy the contents of your SD Card back onto the phone.
9.) Now, you can either do a full wipe and start with a fresh ROM or reboot and try setup Link2SD etc. (Personally, I'd just do a full wipe and start fresh but it's up to you). If you have problems e.g. force closes etc. then do a full wipe.
1.) Follow steps 6-10 of 'How to install a custom ROM above. Note: If your PC doesn't recognize the phone then you may need to install Acer Sync.
2.) Download this and copy it onto your SDCard.
3.) Now turn off the phone and boot into recovery mode Volume Up + Focus + Power (For ClockworkMod).
Down + Focus (Press Camera button Gently) + Power for AmonRA.
4. Choose 'install .zip from SD Card' and find the Superuser.zip install and reboot.
It appears quite a few people (including myself) have decided to purchase the Metal due to the excellent price at Expansys. Subsequently, I reckon there are going to be a few questions on how to install a custom ROM etc. so I've put together this guide, hopefully if it's decent enough maybe a Mod could pin so it's a bit easier to find.
13.) Wipe everything excluding SDCard.
14.) Go back and select 'Flash .zip from SDCard' and browse to the ROM file, confirm.
SD Download Mode will check if language consistent or not. If not, you won't be able to flash the BIN.
Personally, i prefer Acer_Download_Tools to flash BIN file, coz I might try BIN for different language.
Thanks, I've updated the guide.
No root? Do I not need root to flash?
Nope, the recovery is flashed via Fastboot. Once the custom recovery is installed you can go ahead installing (pre-rooted) custom ROM's.
Did it myself this afternoon, it was easier than I imagined it would be.
Keep getting "SD image download procedure... Failed MORE_THAN_TWO_BIN Please keep 1 bin file"
Then you should try to use "Acer_Download_Tools" to flash the BIN. Check the updated first post.
You don't need to root your device to flash a ROM.
Root means to become a superuser (in UNIX) or system manager (as in Windows) of the system so that you can do whatever you want with your device.
Flash a ROM is similar to Installation of a new OS on your device. After flashing a ROM, you are set to use the device.
But some functions of Apps require users with the right of a superuser. At that point, you will need to root your device.
It is like you need to be a system manager of your Windows to install certain software that might change the setting of the system or registration of some DLL files.
Please correct me if I miss something or anything else.
It's not valid for all firmware-recovery combinations, since the partition-table is varying from firmware to firmware and should not be pinned.
Important Note: SD Download Mode (Step 4) checks if the language in the BIN files are consistent, this might mean you need to use the Acer Download Tool from here to flash BIN files of a different language. It's probably a good idea to try this utility if you get error messages at step 4.
Thanks to Vache for instructions 1 to 10 & Thanks to lgcmn for the basic structure of the guide from this thread: http://android.modac...final-tl-metal/ & Thanks to Vikings123 for notifying me of the limitations of SD Download mode. Also, Thanks flibblesan for pinning this.
-wipe only / etc etc etc.
Also can the phone be returned to as it was out of the box if I wish?
No problem (thank flibblesan for pinning it), I'm also a first time Metal user but a fairly experienced Android user.
I'm loving my Liquid Mt it whoops my Blade and OMC.
I'm gonna try the CM7 and MIUI ports next.
It's not bad, barely visible when looking at the phone. Yeah, I keep it in the pouch now too.
Same, the t&l ROM with the AOSP theme is excellent.
Step 4 doesn't work for me and i'm unable to install acer download tools after extraction when i click it, or run as administrator, it says the program has stopped working, windows is looking for a solution.
im having trouble with installing recoveryMT has anyone with Windows Vista successfully installed drivers that work?
ive tried to install liquid usb tool setup but keep getting an error.
Windows Update should download them automatically, at least it did for me although I'm using Windows 7.
Try plug it into a different USB port, that might make it re-download the necessary drivers.
Try flash using the Acer Download Tool.
It's under 'Important Note' in the first post. If you have questions how to use it it's best to read the Acer Download Tools thread or post there.
years but always dissapointed with the browsing experience.
i've tryed to flash 3.027.01by acer tool and yhe tool say me: PARTITION TABLE IS NOT THE SAME OVERRIDE IT??MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE RISK.
13.) Wipe all user data (don't wipe the SD Card).
Important Note: SD Download Mode (Step 4) checks if the language in the BIN files are consistent, this may mean you need to use the Acer Download Tool from here to flash BIN files of a different language. It's probably a good idea to try this utility if you get error messages at step 4. Flash the BIN file in /acer_ug/acer_xx/whateverfile.bin using the download tool.
I have a question that I hope isn't too stupid, but here goes... the gingerbread leak for Acer LiquidMetal has the letters EMEA in the file name, I understand this is a European designation. I live in North America (Canada) can I use that ROM or am I screwed waiting for Acer or my Carrier to push one out?

As the IPHC focuses this year on one of our core values, "We Prayerfully Value Justice," it is critically important to begin by acknowledging that racism is alive in some of the churches we lead. We cannot remain silent about this.
I'm not an expert in this area, although I've been a catalyst for racial change. Racism has many tentacles, and this article is not exhaustive on the subject. But I'm convinced that one of the primary antidotes to racism is the body of Christ.
As Oklahoma pastor Craig Groeschel has said, racism is not a skinissue—it's a sin issue. James 2:9 says it clearly: "But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers." Racism is not just the presence of hatred; it is the absence of love.
Jesus asked the Jews, "Who is my neighbor?" It's interesting that Jesus doesn't answer the question; instead, He demonstrated how to be a neighbor.
The essence of being a Christ-follower is not found in our church experiences, giving records or denominational positions. It is found in our love for God and our neighbors. I am convinced the church is designed to be the answer to the ills of our society, yet we live in this tension of knowing what we have been called to do, but not being properly positioned to carry out our assignment.
It's challenging for the church to effectively address the issue of racism when racism still cripples the body of Christ. We can't cast out racism and perpetuate it at the same time. For the church to effectively serve a lost world, we must be healed.
I pray the church will experience a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit that will bring conviction and cause us to repent of the racism in our hearts. I am not limiting racism to a black and white issue; we must tear down every wall of hatred and division.
Here are three questions for you to ponder as we ask God to use the IPHC and the larger body of Christ to be a solution to the injustice of racism.
IS THERE ANY PREJUDICE IN YOUR HEART?
Pastors must be careful. Whatever is in our hearts will come through in our preaching. If you have racist attitudes, they will be spread like a virus to your congregation.
Pastors and leaders must examine themselves first. Are you loving God and your neighbor in a way that reflects the heart of God? Are you loving your neighbors equally, or is there prejudice in your heart toward some? The agape love of God flowing out of the heart of His people is our solution to uprooting racism. It must start with you.
ARE YOU WILLING TO EMBRACE NEW GROUPS OF PEOPLE?
One of the qualifications of a bishop listed in 1 Timothy 3:2 is "hospitable." This word in the Greek is philoxenos, which means "love of foreigners." New Testament leaders were required to love those who were not like them! Do you have this quality?
Are you still learning? Do you have the heart of a disciple who wants to learn more about the heart of God? Or are you stuck in your ways—with the attitude that you already know everything?
The world around us is changing. Your city is not the same today as it was in 1975. Are you intentionally learning about other ethnic groups who have moved to your city or your neighborhood? Are you willing to have conversations with those who don't look like you? Or do you complain about "those people" who are moving near you?
One of the ways we disarm our fears and ignorance of other ethnicities is by initiating conversations. We can learn so much from each other if we would just talk to each other!
HAVE YOU LET GO OF PAST HURTS?
It is so important for you to let go of what has wounded you in the past. This is not easy and can only be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes a pastor can be leading a church and bleeding simultaneously.
You have been called to bring a message of reconciliation. Yet you may be enslaved by past experiences. You may have experienced the injustice of racism, or your parents may have trained you to perpetuate it. You must break the generational cycle.
Remember the words of the apostle Paul to the Ephesians: "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Eph. 4:31-33).
You can't get free of what you are not willing to confront. Learning to let go of the past requires humility. Break free from unforgiveness, hatred, anger, pride, or prejudice and allow the Holy Spirit to bring healing to you. Ask a mentor or trusted friend to pray with you. We don't have to be controlled by guilt and condemnation.
I hope you are willing to ask the hard questions. Please join me in praying that God will increase the capacity of the IPHC to reach more ethnicities in our nation.
We believe we are being positioned by the year 2033 to experience the greatest harvest of souls in our history. But many of those souls will be multi-ethnic! If the Lord is stirring your heart to reach more ethnicities, or to become more inclusive, please contact me and our team for more help and resources.

Many guitar players struggle with keeping their instrument in tune. Even with a tuner, it can be difficult and time consuming to get your sound just right.
The Roadie 2 is a new tuning accessory that will help you out no matter what experience level you play at. Using this device will cut the amount of time you spend tuning your guitar before you play down to almost no time at all. The Roadie 2 will provide you with the perfect tune for a large variety of instruments and sounds. Tuning your guitar has seriously never been so easy.
Using the concept of the first Roadie, the Roadie 2 has upgrades that make it even more versatile. It is a self tuning device with features allowing you to choose what instrument you are playing and how you want it to sound. The original Roadie requires you to connect to the app in order to tune your guitar, however with the new model you can now use it without the app. The app gives you tons of great features, you can even add your own custom tunings.
The Roadie 2 uses batteries and vibration detecting technology to pick up sound waves and then tune them to the correct pitch. You simply select the type of guitar or instrument you are playing (acoustic, electric, violin, ext.) and how you want it to be tuned. You then place it on the tuning peg and pluck the string. The mechanism automatically turns the peg putting your guitar in perfect tune. A green light even turns on indicating that it is done and time to move to the next string.
If you're a bass player you are in luck! There is also a Roadie Bass, created specifically for bass players. They went with a stronger motor and larger battery to power it. As well as special programming to handle the deeper pitches. The modifications essentially allow the tuner to do its job. The Roadie Bass conveniently works with the app as well.
Is this a gadget that you can see yourself using? If you have had the opportunity to test out the Roadie 2, how did you like it? We would love to hear your feedback!

I realized the other 24-hour interval or should I tell a few weeks agone that I am standing inwards my ain way. More similar my mental attitude together with how I intend others intend of me is how I am standing inwards my ain way.
There are multiple things on my career bucket listing that I select been knocking off i past times i together with and therefore at that spot are the others that I select yet to do. One of the things on the listing that I proceed accomplishing is going to fashion shows. Rather it survive sponsoring designers alongside manicures cheers to existence the Content Strategist for Scratch of Sweden USA, networking alongside fashion designers every bit good every bit enjoying the actual fashion. I've participated inwards the fashion shows for multiple designers during 2016 The Brave Wings Fashion Show inwards Phoenix, Arizona, sponsored designers for 2018 Chicago Fashion Week together with sponsoring 2 designers for the upcoming September 2018 Milwaukee Fashion Week inwards Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But yes, hither is how I select been standing inwards my ain way.
Reflecting dorsum to my kickoff become only about at a fashion present which was the 2016 Brave Wings Fashion Show inwards Phoenix, Arizona. My younger cousin Jenesis Laforcarde who is the co-founder of The Braze Wings Fashion Show was how I got to survive involved cheers to a force from Marie, my 2d cousin who owns Scratch of Sweden together with a chain of emails I sent Jenesis. She super busy when I arrived conduct from the airdrome but super helpful. Before I had gotten at that spot she had already arranged for the teacher together with the students of the boom technician plan at the cosmetology schoolhouse to assistance me alongside the manicures. I was beyond happy for that because I wasn't certain how I was going to pigment the nails of 20+ models.
How I stood inwards my ain way. At the goal of the fashion present I stupidly declined the invitation to attend the after party. I was irritated alongside the somebody who had flown to Phoenix alongside me for non bringing me nutrient I had requested, overwhelmed together with overheated, felt I didn't expect pretty enough, didn't convey a alter of clothes together with was therefore hungry. I know, I know. Plenty of excuses right. This correct hither was a missed chance for me non alone to network but to acquire to know my cousin a lot to a greater extent than (since it was my kickoff fourth dimension truly coming together her). Meet novel people, acquire content for my spider web log together with also acquire to run across 2 of my Newbies Who Blog grouping members. Silly me. I'd never spend upwards an chance similar that again. Next up, Chicago Fashion Week.
My minute fourth dimension only about to attend a fashion present was this yr inwards April. I arranged for Scratch of Sweden to sponson designers together with their staff at the First Trans Media Fashion Show which every bit the terminal present of Chicago Fashion Week. What I learned from the kickoff fashion present was to socialize, grin together with do non allow anything or anyone stress me out. On the 24-hour interval of the final result the possessor of the companionship (who wing inwards from Sweden) had insisted that nosotros convey boom smooth to sell which was a no-no because nosotros didn't pay for a vendor spot. Her persistence was on honour but she afterward noticed that this was the chance to run across novel people, network together with a prime number chance for us every bit a construct to travel into a novel market. I select to tell though, working alongside her was pretty amazing. I see how passionate she is together with I tin experience it inwards everything that she does.
How I stood inwards my ain way. Chicago is less than 1-1/2 hours away from my home. I should select made myself to a greater extent than available to attend together with volunteer at to a greater extent than shows. As someone who writes virtually beauty, loves to do makeup, pilus together with also has a matter for fashion, I truly had no excuse. Although I sort of did because I travel 2 jobs. The i matter I did do dissimilar this fourth dimension only about was verbalize alongside the other volunteers who were makeup artists, photographers, hairstylists together with also made certain that I introduced myself to everyone. Towards the goal of the present I made certain I did my rounds together with exchanged social media handles therefore that was a score:-) We followed i some other but I nonetheless select to do this fourth dimension around!
How I learned non to stand upwards inwards my ain way. The kickoff 2 fashion shows were a run through for me. I know know that I ask to expect my best, experience my best together with also convey my best. Feeling similar I am non pretty plenty or dressed upwards plenty is no excuse. I should ever select a alter of clothes together with a alter of mental attitude when going to these events. I am non a burden, I am a property because I desire to survive at that spot together with they desire me along alongside the products to survive there. To practise what I am preaching I select the adjacent fashion present booked a few weeks from now.
Like I did earlier I sent emails to the founders of Milwaukee Fashion Week together with locked September 14th together with 15th to both travel together with attend the event. I on behalf of Scratch of Sweden will survive icon the nails of the models for 2 designers. I volition grin until my cheeks hurt, smize together with express joy until my I create express joy lines, network until no i is left to speak to together with attend after parties similar I don't select a bed time. There volition survive no repeats. There volition survive no mentally doubting my presence. There volition alone survive a positive together with memorable career goal checked off my bucket list. You volition see.
I've also lined upwards i to a greater extent than final result inwards 2019 that is going to survive fifty-fifty bigger than the fashion shows inwards Chicago, Phoenix together with Milwaukee. I am therefore excited together with cannot hold off to percentage to a greater extent than virtually but I volition proceed it still for now.

Jacob Zuma, the outgoing South African President, established a long-awaited commission of inquiry on Tuesday to investigate allegations of private interests having steered his government's policy.
Jacob Zuma, BRICS Business Council meeting (Photo Kremlin, Public Domain)The announcement followed sustained public pressure on Zuma which culminated with the North Gauteng High Court, a regional court, ordering Zuma to appoint a commission of inquiry within 30 days of their ruling on 14 December 2017, headed by a judge selected by the Chief Justice.
A scandal erupted after documents leaked to the South African press last year revealed the close ties between his family and the secretive, well-connected Gupta's, who many of the allegations revolve around. Several of Zuma's children served as directors of companies owned by the Gupta's.
The Guptas relocated to South Africa from India in 1993 and have allegedly used their vast wealth to wield influence over the government. It is suspected that kickbacks amounting to US$ 411 million were paid in exchange for state contracts.
In partnership with Nedbank, one of South Africa's largest banks, companies controlled by or connected to the Gupta family extracted more than 1 billion rand (US$ 67.2 million) from Transnet, a state-owned company charged with constructing rail, port, and other transportation infrastructure, the OCCRP reported in November following a massive data leak now available to journalists worldwide.
The documents include a contract between China South Rail and Salim Essa, an alleged front man and proxy for the Gupta family, where the locomotive manufacturer promises to pay Essa a $321 million advisory fee as part of the deal that brought the Chinese trains to South Africa.
The Pretoria court also ordered that Zuma, whose presidency is approaching the end of its two-term limit, personally pays the costs of the review, which the President has appealed. Zuma argued that he is concerned that this sets a particular precedent for the office of President and is deserving of legal certainty.
The inquiry into state capture - when private interests are able to dictate parts of government policy in accordance with their interests - will be directed by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo after his recommendation from Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
A previous investigation into the issue of state capture was not completed due to a lack of resources but former public protector Thuli Madonsela said she was encouraged by Zuma's reference to it.
"I am also mindful of the concerns raised by the public protector in her report, wherein she lamented the lack of resources to conduct a wider inquiry into this matter," said Zuma.
Nonetheless, Madonsela said the commission of inquiry may only focus on state capture allegedly committed by the Zuma and Gupta families.
She added that although evidence may have been compromised, the situation "can still be salvaged".
The ANC's elective conference in Johannesburg last month ruled the inquiry should be expedited. However, Zuma appealed two days after the conference. Now, however, he has been forced into offering it his full support.

The least chipmunk (Neotamias minimus) is the smallest species of chipmunk and the most widespread in North America.

Description
It is the smallest species of chipmunk, measuring about  in total length with a weight of . The body is gray to reddish-brown on the sides, and grayish white on the underparts. The back is marked with five dark brown to black stripes separated by four white or cream-colored stripes, all of which run from the nape of the neck to the base of the tail. Two light and two dark stripes mark the face, running from the tip of the nose to the ears. The bushy tail is orange-brown in color, and measures  long. In some areas, where range overlap with the yellow-pine chipmunk occurs, it may be difficult or impossible to distinguish the two species in the field; laboratory examination of skeletal structures may be required.

As in other chipmunks, there are four toes on each of the forefeet and five on the hindfeet. Females have eight teats. The brain to body mass ratio for least chipmunks is lower than that for other species of chipmunk living in the same area, suggesting that they prefer less complex environments.

Distribution and habitat
Least chipmunks are found through most of the western United States from northern New Mexico and western North and South Dakota to eastern California, Oregon and Washington, and throughout much of southern and western Canada from Yukon and southeastern British Columbia to central Ontario, and into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and neighboring parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Throughout this range, as many as 21 subspecies have been identified. Less arboreal than other chipmunks, least chipmunks are commonly found in sagebrush habitats and coniferous woodland, and along rivers, but they also occur in alpine meadows, and on the edges of the northern tundra.

Behavior
Least chipmunks are diurnal and eat seeds, berries, nuts, fruits and insects. They mark areas depleted of suitable food with urine, and do not return to such patches afterwards. Home ranges vary widely, and have been reported to vary from  in northern Michigan to as much as  in Colorado. Because of their small size, least chipmunks are generally subordinate to yellow-pine chipmunks, which are able to drive them away from food resources where food is plentiful. However, because they need to eat less food in order to survive, least chipmunks are more numerous where resources are scarce. They are agile animals, and have been recorded running at speeds of up to  in natural conditions.

Predators include hawks, owls, and mustelids.

Least chipmunks spend the winter in burrows and also scatter-hoard food in numerous concealed pits beneath logs and similar cover. Burrows consist of a single chamber about  across and tunnels  in diameter, averaging  in length. They have two to four entrances, often concealed by nearby rocks, and are typically about  below the surface. During the summer they may construct temporary nests in trees from leaves and grass, or appropriate hollows made by woodpeckers.

Least chipmunks do not hibernate, or put on excess fat in the fall. Instead, they survive the winter by entering torpor for long stretches of time, waking to eat food cached in the burrow. How much of each winter they spend below ground in this manner depends on the latitude, varying from late November to mid March in Michigan to mid October to late April in northern Manitoba.

Reproduction
Females enter estrus within a week of emerging from their burrow in the spring, and mating typically takes place between March and May. Gestation lasts 28 to 30 days, with a single litter of three to seven young being born each year; females who lose their first litter soon after birth may, however, sometimes be able to breed again in the same year. The young are born hairless and blind, measuring about  in length, and weighing . They are able to stand and open their eyes at 27 days, and are weaned at 36 days. They are sexually mature at one year, but do not always breed until their second year. They can live for up to six years in captivity.

Music to Eat Cake By
Music to Eat Cake By is a collection of essays exploring everything from the art of the sandwich and space travel to how not to cure hiccups and, of course, his beloved birdsong.
Today's reader has choices: books about love, about life, about death – and everything in between. The variety is overwhelming, bewildering. But what if the reader could play a part in producing something different, something about everything, about nothing, about everything and nothing at the same time? What if the reader could tell the writer what to write about? Lev Parikian asked his readers those very questions, gathered their responses and then set out to write that book.


The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr., Bruce Springsteen, Carrie Underwood, Kanye West, Coldplay's Chris Martin and Adam Clayton greet the audience during the World AIDS Day (RED) concert in Times Square in New York on December 1st, 2014.
For the thousands of people crammed into the center of Times Square on a rainy Monday evening, it must have seemed like a surreal dream inspired by a night gorging on junk food, Born to Run and The Joshua Tree. U2's the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. played the familiar opening notes of "Where the Streets Have No Name," but Bono was nowhere in sight. Instead, out walked Bruce Springsteen in a leather jacket. Needless to say, the crowd – which didn't pay a dime for the show or have any clue it was even happening until about 2:30 that afternoon – went into complete hysterics.
"I want to run!" he sang with incredible force and confidence. "I want to hide. I want to tear down these walls. . ." It was an amazing moment at a World AIDS Day (RED) benefit that came together in complete secrecy over the past couple of weeks. Originally scheduled as a regular U2 show meant to follow their planned week-long Jimmy Fallon residency, the band had to start working the phones after Bono's devastating Central Park bike injury left him unable to perform. Nobody says no to Bono, especially an injured Bono, so Chris Martin and Bruce Springsteen agreed to front U2 for the evening, joining Kanye West and Carrie Underwood on the bill. Despite everything that goes into assembling a free outdoor concert in the heart of New York City, word of the gig didn't reach the public until U2 announced it on their website about five hours before showtime.
With that, out walked a group billing themselves as "U2 Minus 1" and Martin, who was wearing a black shirt that simply read "Substitute." They kicked things off with "Beautiful Day" and the Coldplay frontman poured himself into the task, clearly thrilled to be filling the shoes of one of his biggest influences. "Dreams come true," he said, "for young and old people alike." They wrapped up with a powerful "With or Without You," and anyone who closed their eyes could have easily believed it was Bono there in Times Square.
Kanye West followed with an electric medley of "Power," "Jesus Walks," "Black Skinhead," "Stronger" and "Touch the Sky." The whole thing took just eight minutes and the speakers blasted out stupefyingly loud bass that occasionally distorted his vocals, but it hardly mattered. He was on fire and easily won over many fans that came out simply to see Springsteen and U2.
Unlike other all-star charity shows that run for hours and hours, this one clocked in at a mere 48 minutes. The stage crew was remarkably efficient, and the only drawback was the distracting Times Square video screens. It was a little incongruous to watch Bill Clinton speak about the AIDS crisis while a 100-foot-tall Kate Upton advertised Express clothing on a screen that looped through the entire show.


For me, 2012 has been the year of soup.
I've long understood the wonders of a warm bowl Zuppa Toscana.
I've made enough of that Corney Bakery Taste-Alike to fill a swimming pool.
Last month we shared 2 versions of our Super Quick & Unprocessed Chicken Corn Soup. We've made batch after batch of that one. It tastes like eating a bowl of buttered corn on the cob. And, it's so simple to toss some chicken in and make it a meal.
Today, it's all about the carrot!
We took inspiration from Jenna's recipe at Eat. Live. Run..
We doubled the recipe, replaced the straight coriander with a curry powder with a first ingredient of coriander, and some other minor tweaks.
I had 3 different types of curry powders in our spice drawer. So, I asked the 14 year old to take a whiff and tell me what he thought. He sniffed #1. "It was good." Sniffed #2. "It was good." Sniffed #3...and didn't want to give it back. We had a winner!
Side note - He chose the Vindaloo from Penzey's -which is interesting. I did the whiff test in the Penzey's store and had the same reaction - didn't want to put it down. Then my niece did the same. Hmm. Good stuff, that Vindaloo. But, we warned. It's spicy. We only used a little, so there was flavor, but no real heat.
Heat the chicken stock. If you are using Knorr chicken stock, put the water on to boil and follow the directions on the package. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the minced shallot and saute until tender. Add the ginger and saute it a minute or 2 - being careful not to burn it. Take the pan off the heat and add the curry powder to warm it and to let the oils release.
Return the pan to medium heat. Add the carrots, stock, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until carrots are fork tender. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. Add the butter and cream. Serve and enjoy.
Are you a fan of soup?
And, if you try this soup - we'd love to hear!

Lo Romero is located near El Pilar de la Horadada on the provincial border of Alicante and Murcia. This brand new course opened in January 2008, and has been designed in such a way that it is perfectly suitable for golfers of all levels.
Not too challenging. but an interesting course.
Course generally okay, but there are much better courses within a 20 min drive. Would not play there again.
Good course with fantastic signature hole 18th. Fairly open and its quite hard too loose a ball as the runoff areas are playable. Water does play a part on 5 or 6 holes. Well worth a visit.

This is a very unique project with three very different individuals from vary different music backgrounds. They have come together and formed a unique new band called the REALLYZ. John Elliot the drummer came from an all heavy metal background, Damien Pipes the bass player derived from all roots reggae grooves, and Dusty Giles from punk funk and acoustic songwriting. They stumbled upon each other's paths in September 2014.


Are employers losing by not providing entry level training?
Talent can be developed through training.
It is commonly known that training helps build a stronger and more skilled workforce. For employees at the the entry level, training is expected, and many need it in order to develop into highly effective workers.
Training is valuable for workers and organizations alike. Through training, employers can teach their staff about everything from how to use technology, to safety and compliance policies that are required by federal law. The more skilled workers are, the better the results will be for the entire company.
Why, then, are employers reluctant to provide training to entry-level employees?
This issue is discussed by Jessica Stillman in an article for Inc. Stillman describes how an Accenture study found that only 48 percent of employers are providing training to employees coming in at the entry level. Those responses were according to graduates of the classes of 2012 and 2013. However, eighty percent of 2014 grads expected that their employer would provide formal training.
Stillman goes on to explain that executives see HR issues as a top concern, yet companies are not making the necessary investment in their talent to see the results they would like. As a result, some employers may expect workers to acquire skills on their own.
While some may believe that cutting training can help save on costs, according to Accenture's report, this isn't the case, as turnover may have a higher price.
However, there are steps that HR can be take to help retain new employees. One way is to view candidates for the potential they exhibit rather than the skills they currently possess. Talent can be developed through training. HR solutions software can manage all the details that go along with screening the right candidates for entry level positions.
