The area consisting of modern-day Woodlands Town first witnessed the opening of the Johor-Singapore Causeway in 1923. Early Woodlands consisted of villages and squatters where residents made their living mostly as small-time shopkeepers and vegetable farmers in the Marsiling area, while rubber plantations and poultry farms dot the landscape in Jalan Ulu Sembawang where modern-day Admiralty is located. The first HDB flats were built from 1972 in the northern part of Marsiling, and the Woodlands Bus Interchange located at Woodlands Centre Road was built in 1980.[4]
Prior to 1988, Woodlands is being divided into Bukit Panjang SMC and Sembawang SMC, and it was merged in 1991 into Sembawang GRC in the sense of growing development.
Development of Woodlands began in 1981. This comprises the building of HDB flats in the Neighbourhood 1, which was completed in 1985; well after the Marsiling Estate. The Neighbourhood 8 were completed in 1987, together with the Neighbourhood 3 in 1989. Because of the saturation of HDB flats, the numbering system added 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Blocks 6xx in Admiralty begun to be completed in 1996, together with the 7xx in 1997. Expansion into Innova began in 1998 and was completed in 2002, which consists of block 5xx. Expansion into the Woodlands East began in 1999 and completed in 2004.
The Jalan Ulu Sembawang is a kampong road that cut across parts of the Woodlands New Town and the Sembawang Airbase. Starting from June 1992, the Jalan Ulu Sembawang is being cleared because of the extension of Woodlands New Town, Gambas Avenue, Sembawang Airbase and the Seletar Expressway. The kampong was being cleared by 1996 and it was being converted into a military training ground.
Neighbourhood layoutEdit
There are three constituencies in the town, and nine neighbourhoods (N1 to N9) within the Woodlands vicinity made up primarily of Woodlands, Marsiling, Woodgrove and Admiralty. Woodlands Square serves as the town centre while adjacent neighbourhood centres also offer a variety of commercial activities. Integrated development plans including Kampung Admiralty are officially launched in April 2014.[5]
Name of Neighbourhood
Woodlands Centre, Northeast, Northwest and West of Woodlands Town Causeway Point, Woodlands Civic Centre, Woodlands Square, Vista Point, 888 Plaza, Sembawang Town Council Via MRT at Woodlands MRT Station, Via Bus from Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange
Marsiling West and Southwest of Woodlands Square Woodlands Checkpoint and Woodlands Town Centre Via MRT at Marsiling MRT Station, Checkpoint Terminal
Woodgrove South from Woodlands Square The Woodgrove Via Bus from Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange
Admiralty East from Woodlands Square Admiralty Place, Woodlands Mart Via MRT at Admiralty MRT Station, Via Bus from Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange
Of all the estates, Woodgrove is the smallest in size, located towards the northwest end of the town. Woodgrove houses most of the private housing in Woodlands, consisting of high-rise condominiums, and landed properties. Woodgrove lies in between the estates of Marsiling and Woodlands.[6]
Marsiling, Woodlands, Woodgrove and Admiralty altogether form Woodlands New Town (not to be confused with Woodlands, Singapore).

InfrastructureEdit
Woodlands is diverse during the day and well lit at night. Shops, eateries, and commercial zones are evenly spread through the town, with bus and transit routes operating till close to midnight.
Divisions within estates are being rapidly modernised and modelled for Singapore's standards; playgrounds, communal gardens, sheltered pavements, multi-level parking lots, barbecue-pits, recreational facilities (such as tennis courts) and trees are found[7] nearly everywhere.
With the modernising process outpacing the preservation of its past, Woodlands Town Garden keeps a clear and simple agenda, to bring greenery in the right ambience with the mixture of the local ethnicities. The theme of the park revolves around the Malay and Chinese culture, and winding through the park is Sungei Mandai Kechil, the river that extends into a lake within the park. Woodlands Town Garden is located near to the Woodlands Checkpoint, in the Marsiling estate. To the east of this area, bordering the polytechnic is Admiralty Park, a 27-hectare national park much of which is covered in mangrove.[8] The recent riverine park which opened in phases is the Woodlands Waterfront. It has engaged a lot of residents, especially those staying in northern Singapore. It is also linked to Admiralty Park and a 25 km Northern Explorer Park Connector Network.
Woodlands Regional Library, the largest neighbourhood library in Singapore at the time of its launch, is operated by the National Library Board. The four-storey public library caters to all ages and is organised according to themes of general, reference, teens, and children.
Causeway Point, one of the largest shopping malls in Singapore, houses 250 shops and various outlets. Woodlands Civic Centre is a designated centre of education, public services, and other forms of assistance for residents. The centre houses the Woodlands Regional Library, several banks, CPF Woodlands Branch, and numerous merchandise and educational institutions.
Sports are an emerging emphasis in the Singaporean society. Recreational facilities can be easily located around the estates and especially in parks: The multi-purpose stadium, the Woodlands Stadium, and Woodlands Swimming Complex are common places for sport-goers.
Experimental styles of architecture have found their way into Woodlands, making the town a place of wonder and color, with much integration with recreation. From the early practical designs to its modern-day luxurious manifestation, housing apartment blocks are no longer as plain as they sound; with the garnish of parks, communal gardens and décors, these blocks are pieces of art and style themselves. The centrepiece of the town, Woodlands Square, attracts a constant flow of travellers and shoppers daily. Tireless planning and redevelopment keeps the town modernised.
As of 2017[update], this area has a total of 12 primary schools such as Marsiling Primary School, Woodlands Primary School, Qihua Primary School, and 10 secondary schools, Republic Polytechnic and Innova Junior College.[9] Educational institutions are evenly distributed throughout the estate. From newly founded schools to well-established ones, Woodlands has several top educational institutions in the northern region. Schools in Woodlands are allocated into the N5 and the N7 clusters. Innova Junior College will be merging with Yishun Junior College later in 2019.[10])
Singapore's first sports school, Singapore Sports School, is an independent boarding school with some of the finest sports facilities. Singapore's fifth polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, is situated in the north of Woodlands. Innova Junior College, a new junior college in Singapore, is situated at the south of Woodlands. There is also an international school, Singapore American School.
Due to Woodlands' proximity to neighbouring country Malaysia, the schools in Woodlands have comparatively larger population of students from Malaysia and it is common to see fleets of school buses ferrying these students daily.
Places of worshipEdit
Woodlands has 7 churches, 2 mosques and 1 temple.
Churches:
Church of Saint Anthony
Covenant Evangelical Free Church
Lighthouse Evangelism
New Life Bible Presbyterian Church
Woodlands Carepoint Methodist Church
Woodlands Evangelical Free Church

AccessibilityEdit
Being located immediately across from Johor Bahru across the Straits of Johor, Woodlands is highly accessible, connected by major roads and expressways, with a relatively large bus interchange, the Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange, and an elevated train station next to Causeway Point at Woodlands Square. Most of the bus routes are operated by SMRT Buses, while SMRT Trains operates the train stations.
Residents of Woodlands are currently serviced by three Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations: Woodlands MRT station in the centre, Marsiling MRT station to the west, and Admiralty MRT station to the east. The Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange has been relocated from the previous Woodlands Town Centre to the current town centre at Woodlands Square, and temporarily relocated to outside Woodlands Square.
Access to Woodlands will be made easier with the introduction of the 43-km long Thomson-East Coast MRT Line[12] from early 2020 onwards, which will create 2 additional stations in Woodlands, namely Woodlands North and Woodlands South. Both of these stations are adjacent to the existing Woodlands station on the North South Line. All three stations will be completed by end-jan 2020 and open as the first phase of the new line. This will facilitate more convenient transportation within Woodlands itself.
A future rapid transit link, the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System, will have its Singapore terminus at Woodlands North, improving access between Johor Bahru and Singapore.
Land transportation in Woodlands is relatively efficient, in comparison to other estates, contrasting by the amount of well-maintained roads, though a common sight in Singapore. Twelve avenues support and help circulate all of the traffic of the town, especially the notable ones, such as Avenue 2, Avenue 3 and Avenue 7, which come from the expressways.
Woodlands Avenue 2 is a shorter route from the older estates of the town to the Seletar Expressway. To connect the Woodlands Avenue 2 into the Seletar Expressway, part of the road was being built since 1998. SBS Services 161 and 168 plies along the shorter route of Woodlands Avenue 2.
Woodlands Avenue 3 connects Marsiling from the exit of Bukit Timah Expressway to Woodlands Centre Road, which leads to Woodlands Checkpoint. The rest of it maintains a similar route of the MRT line, which connects to Woodlands Square.
As the avenue ends at the entrance of the slope of Woodlands Square (the road that circulates Woodlands Square), another end starts at Woodlands Avenue 7, which connects Woodlands to Admiralty, also along the route of the MRT line, ending at Gambas Avenue.
Divisions within estates are further connected and regulated by two- or single lane roads called streets, which are distinguished by a suffix of double-digit numbers, such as Woodlands Street 82 and Woodlands Street 83. This was a common practice before the late '90s. Drives are two- or single lane roads built for newer divisions within an estate, similar to that of the streets.
Links and Crescents are often three-, two-, or single lane roads that convey commuters from a main road to another main road, such as the Woodlands Link, which connects Woodlands Avenue 9 to the main roads in the Woodlands Industrial Park. Crescents connect main roads to streets or drives.
Future plansEdit
According to the Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority and its Master Plan for the North Region of Singapore, Woodlands Regional Centre is set to become the Northern Gateway to Singapore with the future cross-border rail link to Malaysia. Featuring some 700,000m² of new commercial space and more than 100 hectares of land that can be developed, the growth of the Woodlands Regional Centre will anchor the development of the North Coast Innovation Corridor. More commercial and shopping options will progressively be made available in the Woodlands Central, with a future pedestrian mall running through the heart of the district. As a significant employment cluster, the Woodlands North Coast will bring jobs and commercial opportunities closer to home for residents of the North Region. Woodlands will have three new Thomson-East Coast Line stations. The stations are Woodlands North, Woodlands and Woodlands South. A new waterfront park will be built to connect the two districts of Woodlands Central and Woodlands North Coast. More park connectors and cycling paths will be built to connect to the 150 km Round Island Route and Rail Corridor.[13]

Home » Roundup: Debunking Vedder Cup; Mariners win
Roundup: Debunking Vedder Cup; Mariners win
By Adam Lewis March 4, 2015 7 Comments3 Mins Read
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder spent part of his childhood in San Diego before moving to Seattle. / Wikicommons
For the record, Eddie Vedder is a Chicago Cubs fan.
Thus, it did not make one iota of sense when the Mariners-Padres interleague season series was dubbed "The Vedder Cup" by a Padres blogger a few years back. Granted, Vedder, the frontman for Seattle-based rock group Pearl Jam, has lived in San Diego and Seattle.
Yes, Vedder is a West Seattleite. Sure, you might occasionally see him taking in a Mariners game during the summer. But you're more likely to see him singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th-inning stretch at Wrigley Field.
Of course, the "Vedder Cup" moniker is basically a joke.
But it's finally getting some big-time publicity. Seattle Times' writer Larry Stone offered a comprehensive breakdown of the series in his latest column.
It details the Mariners-Padres rivalry, which began when former commissioner Bud Selig, in his infinite wisdom, described Seattle and San Diego as geographic rivals when he instituted interleague play in 1997. No matter that the cities are separated by 1,254.4 miles.
The clubs do, however, share the Peoria Sports Complex, where they began Cactus League play Wednesday in the 22nd annual charity game. Patrick Kivlehan singled home Tyler Marlette in the 10th inning for a 4-3 triumph.
Mariners RHP Taijuan Walker started and went two innings in his effort to beat out LHP Roenis Elias for the fifth spot in the M's rotation. He gave up one hit and struck out two.
Manager Lloyd McClendon trotted out a lineup absent any Mariners regulars, minus SS Chris Taylor, who is competing for the starting job with Brad Miller. Jesus Montero went 2-for-2, and D.J. Peterson hit a solo home run. (Box score)
By the way, "The Vedder Cup" actually has some intrigue this year because the Mariners and Padres have legitimate playoff aspirations. Seattle finished 2014 one game behind the Oakland Athletics for the second American League wild card spot. Over the offseason, the club added reigning MLB home run champion Nelson Cruz as DH, utility man Rickie Weeks, OF Justin Ruggiano, OF Seth Smith and LHP J.A. Happ.
The Padres orchestrated a series of epic moves, bringing in Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Wil Myers, plus All-Star catcher Derek Norris, via trades. They also signed pitchers James Shields, Brandon Morrow, Josh Johnson and acquired Mariners reliever Brandon Maurer in exchange for shipping Smith to the Emerald City.
Linkage:
Mariners catcher Mike Zunino is revamping his offensive approach after hitting .199 in 2014.
Smith is taking a quiet approach in his first spring training with the Mariners.
Third baseman Kyle Seager is teaming with a former teammate at the University of North Carolina to help fight childhood cancer.
LHP Danny Hultzen said his arm felt "great" after throwing live batting practice Tuesday. The former No. 2 overall pick in the MLB draft is trying to make a comeback after missing almost two full seasons because of major shoulder injuries.
Felix Hernandez tossed his first live batting practice of the spring Wednesday morning. No surprise: Hitters didn't make a lot of solid contact.
Writers need to get out of baseball's Hall of Fame voting, or fix it
Remember baseball? Mariners? They are doing things
Signing of Ray wakes echoes of Cano, but Mariners are different

The only way to spice up this "rivalry" is for a brawl to happen. Or for Crabtree to join them.
Art Thiel on March 4, 2015 3:39 pm
C'mon. This is Yankees-Red Sox West.
jafabian on March 5, 2015 7:59 am
The 2014 Yankees-Red Sox maybe. Think the Yankees will trade ARod to the Padres????
Da Kid on March 4, 2015 1:33 pm
No. Stop. There's no such thing. It's all concocted B.S.. Why would any local sportswriter with an ounce of keyboard pressure lend credence to a "rivalry" fantasized by a poop-fertilized hallucination of Bud Selig's? It's got even less to do with Vedder, who's a casual interloper at best.
Stab it with your steely knives and kill the beast, once and for all!
Thank you, Don Henley. Glad you are no longer insisting that we in the media kick them when they're up, and kick them when they're down.
RadioGuy on March 4, 2015 9:14 pm
We all know that Crap is King anyway.
A "World Series preview?" Maybe a "battle between potential playoff contenders" would be a little more plausible.
Seattle-San Diego has never been a real rivalry in any sport, but the Mariners and Padres are redheaded stepchildren in interleague matchups so abracadabra…it's a rivalry.
As for renaming the Vedder Cup (another misfire of logic, but at least nobody was taking it seriously), I'm trying to think of at least some baseball PERSON who had strong ties to both cities but drawing a blank. We're in the same time zone and country, but that's about it.

The globalisation of the world economy is setting new and ever more exacting requirements for modern companies. And one such overriding requirement is the quality of international, and so by definition multilingual, communication.
Vertaalbureau RM Vermeulen is a Belgian translation agency, specialising in providing support for high-quality multilingual projects.
The term "qualitative," purely ornamental when used in the context of a conventional translation agency and not in the least reflected in reality, constitutes the cornerstone of the "modus cogitandi et operandi" of translation agency Vertaalbureau RM Vermeulen.
One of the pillars of the consistent quality of our work is the fact that translation agency Vertaalbureau RM Vermeulen not only works exclusively with native speakers, which is pretty much standard practice in the serious translation sector, but exclusively with experienced, highly educated senior translators — something not quite self-evident in the contemporary translation industry.
Working with a senior translator means less profit for the average agency, and that is why the choice often falls on less experienced, cheaper translators, so that the profit margin often exceeds the 100% mark. When a translation is done abroad, especially in low-wage countries (for certain language combinations), the client often pays such an agency innumerable times the amount that the translation actually costs.
Moreover, such practices do not merely conceal a certain ethical lapse. Underpaid translators are forced to accept far too much work to survive, and simply do not have the time to concentrate sufficiently on each project, let alone to hone their skills or to acquire modern software and hardware. This situation inevitably takes a heavy toll on the quality of their work.
There is another side to this coin, however. Competent, and consequently well known translators, prefer not to work for such agencies, but for companies that have decided they are only interested in highly skilled and conscientious professionals.
Translation agency Vertaalbureau RM Vermeulen has a decidedly different way of thinking and working.
Our cooperation with senior translators may reduce our profit margins, but it unquestionably secures the quality of our translations. And that is precisely what makes all the difference.
The quality of the translations and the indissociable commercial success of our customers is an absolute priority for us. In modern marketing communication, this is called a 'passion for quality', — which for us is anything but a platitude.
The quest for perfection is far from our sole mainspring.
We are convinced that we must not lose sight of the ethical dimension either. We refuse to go along with the prevailing trend of overcharging clients while underpaying translators.
As a translation agency, we have a responsibility to our clients that must not be underestimated. For a company, a quality translation means a catchy advertising campaign, a convincing presentation, a valuable contract, a successfully completed project, a stronger position on an increasingly more competitive international market resulting in more orders, a higher turnover, more revenues, growth, expansion and success.
The success of an enterprise has another, very human, dimension: greater job security, maintaining existing positions and creating new positions; in short, aspects which are of the greatest importance for each company staff member whether they are beginners or executives. In other words, Vertaalbureau RM Vermeulen cannot afford to betray the trust of its clients.
Furthermore, it is extremely shortsighted in our view to lose exacting and absorbing projects by not calling on the services of highly competent — and therefore more expensive — professionals. Our strategy is based on respect for all participants in the work process and is geared to the long term.
What does this actually mean for you?
In practice, this means that all your translations are undertaken by highly educated, experienced translators working in their native language, while the price remains comparable to that of most translation agencies. In plain, blunt terms, with us you get more quality for the same money.
That such an approach really works can be gauged from our cooperation with companies which are not only interested in a good price, but above all can ill-afford any faulty communication:Agentschap Ruimtelijke Ordening Vlaanderen, Agfa Gevaert, Ahlers, Alcatel, Antwerp Port Authority, Artesis University College of Antwerp, Atlas Copco, Barco, Bekaert, Belgian Red Cross, Belgian Training Institute of the Federal Administration, Cadbury Benelux (Stimorol), Callebaut, Centrum voor Kwaliteitszorg, Chocolaterie Guylian, Chiquita, Citroën, Cisco Systems, Daikin, Departement Cultuur Provincie Antwerpen, De Standaard Uitgeverij publishing house, Diesel Belgium NV, Distillerie Smeets Hasselt, Dow Corning, 3Com, DuPont, Ernst & Young, European Commission, European Healthcare Fraud and Corruption Network, European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, Fortis Bank, Frost & Sullivan, Gazet Van Antwerpen, Ghent University, Harvard Engineering PLC, Het Nieuwsblad, InBev, Karel de Grote University College, Katholieke Hogeschool Mechelen, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Catholic University of Leuven), Keyware, Koninklijk Athenenum Antwerpen, Koninklijk Atheneum Deurne, Leuvens Instituut voor Centraal- en Oosteuropese Studies, M.A.D., MAN Diesel Benelux, Manteau, Marsh & McLennan, Mazda Europe, MediaMarkt-Saturn, Ministry of the Flemish Community, Nestlé, Nintendo, Order of Flemish Bars, Pillsbury, Pioneer, Pittsburgh Corning, Plextor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Roularta Media Group, Rowenta, Saatchi & Saatchi, Senoble France, Sheraton, Sint-Lukas Brussels University College of Art and Design (UCAD), Slavneft, SMAK, Syzbank, Tacis, Tefal, TGV, Thomson Telecom Belgium, Toyota Motor Europe, Tractebel, Tunnel Liefkenshoek NV, UFSIA, Unilever, University Hospitals Leuven (UZ Leuven), US Robotics, Vandeputte Group, Videohouse, Vlaams Parlement, VLAM, VRT, VTM, VT4, Wenneker Distilleries, Woestijnvis, Wolters Kluwer NV, Z&V Group and many others.

Q: Flow - Validating Conditional Text Field Input I have a flow with a screen element. It has 3 picklist fields and, dependent on the input in these fields, a pair of conditionally visible text fields become available for input.
I want to validate the input in the text fields, so have set a rule in the Validate Input section to ensure an entry in the 'Licence Code' text field is always 20 characters long.
The rule works, but in debug it only displays when I 'Run Again'; the first time it looks as if the input validation has failed, then if I try again with the same picklist inputs the licence code entered on the previous pass is displayed with the error.
What is the best way to ensure the error is displayed and the flow stopped on the first pass to allow correction of the licence code field ?
Can I resolve this using the screen element only, or do I need to add a decision element ?
TIA
Richard

okay I always say go big or go home. This is hard made my PVC canister filter. It is very very very big I should've actually cut it down because I didn't realize how heavy it would be. I mean this PVC canister filter for my 125 aquarium. They are actually really easy to make. I do recommend you JB welding whatever you have to drill through. Believe me JB Weld will seal all the water leaks. And use Teflon tape to seal the rest of the PVC fittings. this canister worked perfect for my 125 gallon tank as you can see I have some huge fish in there. The Harbor freight water pump was very noisy when I stuck it to the bottom of the 125 gallon tank. But when I put the under gravel filter and the gravel in it I barely heard the water pump at all. Currently I have this PVC filter off because it was so heavy it broke through the milk crate and cracked the drain line off. But I'm going to pick up some more JB Weld put it back together and hook it back up because it worked amazing.

India's batting legend Sachin Tendulkar celebrates his birthday on 24 April. Arguably the greatest batsman of all time, Tendulkar, who turns 43 today, made his debut in 1989 and retired 24 years later in 2013. The maestro has a string of records to his credit, which might not be surpassed for a long time.
On retirement, he had scored 15,921 runs in 200 test matches at an average of 53.78 with an astonishing 51 hundreds to his name. In one day internationals (ODIs), he notched up 18,246 runs in 463 matches, scoring 49 tons. He is also credited with scoring 200 runs in an ODI.

Q: Is it possible to look 'behind' a mount point while still mounted? I have two partitions, one mounted at / and one at /crypt. I'm using a bind mount to mount /crypt/home at /home/ (and various others).
Problem is that I kinda need to look at the original /home dir now, but of course I just see the contents of /crypt/home.
I can't unmount this because to do so I have to be logged in, which means /home is in use...
Is there a way (perhaps another bind mount or something) that I can access the files under the original /home dir, without resorting to booting from a USB stick etc.?

A: If you just login as root then you shouldn't have any problems with the /home mount. Still, if that is not possible, then you can simply mount --bind / /elsewhere. By default --bind type mounts are not recursive - and so the filesystems mounted to / will not follow it when it is --bind mounted somewhere else. You can recursively --rbind a mount elsewhere though.
For example:
findmnt /esp; findmnt /

TARGET SOURCE    FSTYPE OPTIONS
/esp   /dev/sda1 vfat   rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro

TARGET SOURCE                FSTYPE OPTIONS
/      /dev/sda2[/arch_root] btrfs  rw,relatime,compress-force=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag

As you can see, /esp is mounted on /.
mkdir /tmp/root
sudo mount --bind / /tmp/root
ls /esp /tmp/root/esp

/esp:
EFI/  shellia32.efi*  shellx64.efi*

/tmp/root/esp:

Now I'll get a file into /tmp/root/esp:
sudo touch /tmp/root/esp/blank_file
ls /esp /tmp/root/esp

/esp:
EFI/  shellia32.efi*  shellx64.efi*

/tmp/root/esp:
blank_file

So I've created a file in the directory where /esp is mounted. See?

I had to umount /boot and /esp because /boot is actually sourced from a bind mounted folder on /esp. Both of these are defined in /etc/fstab - which is why mount -a brought them back.


Ring is size 9-3/4, it measures approximately 3/4" long and 3/4" wide.
This is a very exquisite ring that must not be overlooked! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Effie Calavaza, out of genuine sterling silver and real Turquoise stones. The ring has a total of FOUR stones, TWO of which are inlayed and create the snakes eyes, while the other TWO stones are set in hand cut bezel in the midst of a gorgeous silver snake design. Imprinted patterns can be seen accenting for a marvelous finish. The snake is found in many healing and fertility rituals. It is also connected with lightning, speed, and being able to move undetected. The ring is stamped Zuni and hallmarked by the artist.

The Swedish Influence || When I Wake Up Blog Tour
I have lived in various countries but growing up in Sweden had a profound impact on me and therefore, setting When I Wake Up in my home country felt like an easy choice. Sweden is amazing with its four seasons. Summertime is synonymous with lush green fields and fresh air; it never really gets dark at night and everything comes alive. Autumn is colourful but wet and wintertime is clouded in a chilling darkness.
People love to be outside all year round when the sun shines. My mother would always tell me to go outside: 'the sun is shining, Jessica!' But it meant abandoning whatever book I was reading…
Growing up in a small town, I would read about the world until I could discover it for myself. That's where my passion for literature began and I often found myself in the local library, so it's no surprise that a library features in my novel.
I go back to Sweden regularly, to visit friends and family, and it was during one of those visits that a seed was planted for When I Wake Up. It was springtime; still chilly but flowers were emerging everywhere, sprinkling the air with optimism. I went to see a friend one afternoon. The sky was a cloud-less blue but by the time I made to leave, I found the town submerged in darkness even though it wasn't late. It felt eerie.
All the shops were closed, there were no people or cars around, and the lights in the houses were gradually switching off. The place felt so utterly deserted and because it felt so spooky, I started running back to my car, which was parked in the town centre. My heart was beating fast in my chest, my throat hurting from the cold.
That's when my brain kicked into action and the author in me started creating various scenarios, one of them being: 'if someone was attacked now, there would be no witnesses'. That's how Anna's attack came about. It made me realise that all the action doesn't have to be set in a city. In fact, the mystery would be more effective in a small town where everyone thinks they know each other.
Writing the novel, I really enjoyed recreating an environment similar to the one where I grew up, generously adding fictional elements to suit the story. Although I have spent years living abroad, in my heart, Sweden is still my home and I definitely plan to write more novels that are set there.

A breathtaking, heart-pounding, dark debut, sure to delight fans of The Girl on the Train and Before I Go To Sleep.
When Anna, a much-loved teacher and mother of two, is left savagely beaten and in a coma, a police investigation is launched. News of the attack sends shock waves through her family and their small Swedish community. Anna seems to have had no enemies, so who wanted her dead?
As loved-ones wait anxiously by her bedside, her husband Erik is determined to get to the bottom of the attack, and soon begins uncovering his wife's secret life, and a small town riven with desire, betrayal and jealousy.
As the list of suspects grows longer, it soon becomes clear that only one person can reveal the truth, and she's lying silent in a hospital bed...

A rare case report of peri-papillary choroidal neovascularization in vogt-koyanagi-harada disease

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is a bilateral, granulomatous panuveitis with neurologic and cutaneous manifestations. Late complications include cataract, glaucoma, choroidal neovascularization (CNVM), and subretinal fibrosis; the latter two carries poor visual prognosis. We report a known case of VKH complicated with peri-papillary CNVM, who was steroid responder as well as steroid dependent, the patient had recurrent episodes of anterior uveitis with steroid-sparing immunosuppressive therapy. Because of the recurrent and uncontrolled inflammation, she developed peri-papillary CNVM in the right eye, which was effectively treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. Even though CNVM is a known complication of VKH, peri-papillary CNVM occurs very rarely and is least reported in the literature. The main therapeutic goal in VKH is to control underlying recurrent inflammation to prevent late complications.

We assayed the presence of antibodies specific for Rickettsia typhi, R. akari, and R. conorii in sera of persons from several localities in Serbia with different geographic, climatic, and lifestyle characteristics. Sera from 140 patients with unclear clinical symptoms and 273 healthy persons were tested for the presence of rickettsiae-specific antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence assay. In this study, for the first time we detected the presence of rickettsiae from the spotted fever group in Serbia. We detected the presence of antibodies against R. conorii in the samples from all tested localities. The proportion of positive cases was low in the plain agricultural areas but reached up to 23% in the mountain areas. We also observed a significant number of cases positive for antibodies against R. akari. Antibodies specific for the antigens of R. typhi were detected in only 2 samples from the municipality of Pec (Kosovo region). These findings contribute to the prevalence of Rickettsi...a species in Southeast Europe. Our study also revealed a dramatic lack of awareness of rickettsioses among medical personnel and pointed to the need for urgent measures that would help improve the current situation in the region.

Phasing of development in Eden Glen in New Model Colony.
As we progress, we will face development decisions that require us to balance short and long-term costs and benefits. In some cases, conditions necessary for development of the type and scale that fully realizes our Vision may be years in the future. But opportunities that can add immediate value may present themselves. We will allow interim development in our growth areas provided it can be modified or replaced when circumstances are right. We will not allow development that impedes, precludes or compromises our ability to achieve our Vision.
Development that provides short-term value only when the opportunity to achieve our Vision can be preserved.
Commitment to Vision. We are committed to achieving our Vision but realize that it may take time and several interim steps to get there.
Infrastructure Timing. We require that the necessary infrastructure and services be in place prior to or concurrently with development.


Today we will be looking at the top 5 goalkeepers to keep our eyes on during this World Cup in Brazil.
This list is not in any necessary order, i am not looking at ranking the players, but rather narrow down what i expect will be the top 5 goalkeepers of this tournament.
After a season at Sporting CP where they finished 2nd in the league, Rui Patricio is looking at this World Cup as an opportunity to put a stamp in his career at the world stage. Many rumors of his eventual transfer to larger market teams have surfaced in the Portuguese media, but a solid performance by him this summer would make him one the targets for this summer transfer market. Portugal is in a very difficult group, in order to advance they need Patricio at his best, another reason why we should keep our eyes on him.
This rookie keeper will have his first taste of a World Cup this summer, but don't let that fool you. He has a vast club experience and is in a large part responsible for the amazing campaign Atletico Madrid had this year and also insuring Belgium would qualify for this summers big dance. His performances haven't gotten unnoticed and Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he wants him to return to Chelsea from his loan spell at Atletico once the new season kick offs. If Belgium is to become the Cinderella story that we all expect them to be, Courtois will have to continue his incredible performances in Brazil this summer.
The veteran of the group (top 5 goalkeepers) will have one last chance at winning a World Cup. At the age of 36 many will not believe he will be at the next World Cup in 2018. While not impossible to happen i see it as very unlikely. He won the World Cup in 2006 so he has the experience of winning at the biggest stage of them all, add that to an incredible club career that saw him win another title for Juventus this year and you have perhaps the best goalkeeper in the world at this moment. Italy will rely heavily on him to make a deep run and perhaps a presence in yet another final.
At the age of 27, Muslera has already played in the 2010 World Cup, and 2011 Copa America, which Uruguay won by defeating Paraguay in the final 3-0. At the club he is also a champion, Galatasaray won the domestic Turkish league this year and Muslera started in 33 of the 34 matches. Uruguay has one of the most balanced teams in the World at this moment, and a goalkeeper entering the prime of his career could be the needed mixture to make them a World Cup contenders. I expect Muslera to have anotherimpressive tournament like he did in the 2010 World Cup, but this time helping his team reach a bit further.
After a frustrating season with Tottenham in England, Hugo Lloris will be looking at this World Cup as a way to regain some of his confidence and glory that he showed with Lyon and the national team before his move to England. France are not in a difficult group, so that should help him gradually build his confidence and also the confidence of his team mates in him. For France to have any chance of even making the quarter finals, Lloris has to be at his best, so i expect him to rebound and have a great tournament.

The release of the iPhone 6 may be pushed back further due to safety concerns from Chinese authorities after a hub cap factory in the eastern part of the country experienced an unfortunate mishap, according to techtimes.
Foxconn, which was tapped to manufacture Apple's newest smartphone, is said to have already started on the mass production of 4.7-inch iPhone 6 variants. It is also expected to begin working on the 5.5-inch version of the device by next week. The production for the bigger smartphone has been hit with production delays, and it is unclear if the two versions of the device will have the same release date.
Now, the timeline for the launch of the smartphone may be pushed further due to an industrial accident in Jiangsu province. Last week, a dust explosion in the area killed 75 people and caused injuries to more than a hundred others.
The Foxconn facility was not affected by the blast. However, authorities ordered facilities involved in metal polishing to stop operations over the weekend to give way for safety checks. According to local website Tech Web, inspectors from the country's State Administration of Work Safety visited the Foxconn facility.
The inspections are expected to further tighten the company's production schedule, which was already under strain to begin with. The company recently went on a hiring spree, bringing in 10,000 new workers to meet Apple's order.
There have been contrasting rumors about the iPhone 6's launch date. Reports initially claimed that Apple was planning a mid-September for the launch of the device and the iOS 8. This would be followed up by an October event for the iWatch, OS X Yosemite and the company's new line of Macs and iPads.
Then, a source told MacRumors that the released is actually October 14. The source, who cited an internal Apple Retail Store meeting, said that the whole month would be busy for the company, which may mean that all of Apple's product releases would be scheduled for that period.
It is still not clear whether the two variants of the iPhone 6 will be launched at the same time. However, some reports predict that the 5.5-inch version of the device would be launched early next year.

Ann and Ted Dosch donate $1 million to Habitat for Humanity
Partnership will support Habitat for Humanity International and Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity
ATLANTA and CHICAGO (Feb. 6, 2017) — Habitat for Humanity is proud to announce a generous $1 million commitment by Ann and Ted Dosch to support Habitat's mission to build a world where everyone lives in a decent, safe and affordable home. This is one of the largest gifts made by a couple to Habitat for Humanity in the Chicago region.
Ann and Ted have worked on Habitat homes on five different continents over two decades, serving as passionate advocates for affordable housing. Ted has held leadership roles on two Habitat boards – Habitat for Humanity International and Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity. He has been instrumental in establishing corporate partnerships with Whirlpool and Anixter International, helping raise millions of dollars, on top of their personal giving. "To build side by side with future Habitat homeowners – to see how hard they work to have a better life for their children – it's had a tremendous impact on me, my wife and our family," he said. "That's why Habitat has become such a passion of ours."
Ann and Ted's commitment will be split evenly between Habitat for Humanity International's Global Impact Fund and Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity. In the Chicago region, these funds will support affiliate growth, leadership development efforts, and raising awareness of Habitat and the importance of affordable housing in the region.
"Support of the Global Impact Fund will help Habitat for Humanity empower more individuals in need of decent homes worldwide to build strength, stability and self-reliance through improved shelter," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "We greatly appreciate the time, leadership and financial contributions Ann and Ted have dedicated to Habitat's work over the years."
"Ted and Ann have been instrumental leaders in Habitat's impact in the Chicago region, and this gift will help build homes, as well as develop future leaders to strengthen Habitat's presence here. We are extremely grateful for this transformative gift," said Matthew Moy Johnson, CEO of Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity. "Their generosity is an example of the impact philanthropy can have on nonprofits that we hope others will follow."
"Habitat's power is not just about four walls and a roof," said Ted. "It's more than a house; it's even more than a home. What we are doing is partnering with hardworking individuals and families to help transform their lives – improve their health, the education of their children and build the foundation for generations to come."
About Habitat for Humanity
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in nearly 1,400 communities throughout the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit altenheime-hamburg.info.
About Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity
Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity is a support organization for eight Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the Chicagoland area, with a goal of significantly increasing the number of families served in the Chicagoland region. Habitat is committed to creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive; to revitalizing neighborhoods and building communities; and to helping transform generations through homeownership. We do this by making housing affordable to hardworking people without access to conventional financing and offer individuals a hand up, fueled by our belief in dignity, self-sufficiency, collaboration and hope.

Dennis Rodman in Space, and Actual News in Funny Names in the News 86!
Posted on June 20, 2014 by Arto
Happy Friday everyone! Can you believe it's already 53 years since Kuwait declared independence from the United Kingdom? I know! So crazy. Happy Birthday, Kuwait!
We open our Friday news update with a report from our Boxing-the-Sport, not Boxing-the-Putting-Things-in-Boxes Correspondent Dave.
"Dewey Bozella was an amateur boxer falsely convicted in 1983 for the murder of an elderly woman. 26 years later the conviction was overturned and Bozella was released, and he won his pro debut in 2011 at age 52 on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson I. (The only time in recent history where Hopkins hasn't been the oldest guy on the card). His story was turned into a documentary, The Dewey Bozella Story, which has now shown up on Youtube."
Thanks Dave! Moving on to the world of music, where Stringing-us-along-haha-get-it? Correspondent Dave tells us the Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture and Erika Spring- led Brooklyn band Au Revoir Simone recorded a neat version of Mazzy Star's Fade into You. Go ahead and listen to it over here.
Hey guys, what do you think about space? It's so, like, big and stuff! And, if you think about it, we're totally all in space right now! Whoa man. That's wild. Wow. Anyway, space is back in the news thanks to magical entrepreneur Elon Musk, who wants to put a man on Mars within 12 years. Which man, he did not specify, but it's possible that it's Dennis Rodman.
Here's an image that'll confuse a person who's never heard of this film.
It's been a good two paragraphs without any boxing news, so let's go back to Dave [This one was from Mark!!!] in the Funny Names Corner for some further coverage :
"McWilliams Arroyo landed only 9 blows in his fight against previously undefeated Phillipino Froilan Saludar, in their IBF flyweight title eliminator bout in Bayamon, Puerto Rico last night. But he punched out Saludar's lights with that 9th one, giving him a second round KO victory, and improving his record to 15-1 with 13 KO's. Still, with one loss he remains the black sheep among boxing's two sets of funny named identical twins. His brother McJoe Arroyo, as well as both of the Charlo twins, Jermell and Jermall, remain undefeated."
Meanwhile, at the FIFA McDonald's Coca Cola Taco Bell Healthy Living Soccer World Cup, goals have been scored. Whoo-hoo! More excitingly still, they've been scored by people like our hero Wilfried Bony, Arjen Robben, Memphis Depay, and Mile Jedinak. Many more funny names will surely hit the scoreboard in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
That's it for your dose of funny names in the news for the week, check back next week for more!

and i cannot believe you have included actually news in this post! wow, what a multi level enjoyment and learning experience, dave.
I know! Actual news! We're full of surprises! #1 of which is that Arto wrote this post from a draft I created, and forgot to change the attribution… it's now fixed with Arto as the rightful author.
But I agree – I learned a lot from this post as well!
The McWilliams update was actually from Mark! There's no way I'd write something so eloquent in a FNITN draft. 🙂 I went ahead and added a note about that.
The second time that's happened! There was no attribution so I guessed Dave. Never again will I guess Dave!
That image knocks my socks off! So much greatness!
I'm ashamed by how long it took me to get "Stringing-us-along-haha-get-it?"
But I think I get it.
It's about string instruments, right? Because they're musical?
That's right Dave! Might have been a bit too operatic of a description.
kerbey says:
I'm still trying to process Jermell and Jermall. I'm going to go listen to Jermaine Jackson.
teehee
making my head spin, Arto, but that doesn't take much now that summer is full-speed ahead. But wanted to pop over and let you know I'm here and I'm listening 😉 Very exciting to see that Mr Musk is moving forward with the space travel plans. Twelve years is not that many. And I'll remember that I read about it here first 😀
Haha, you may be the only one who'll have read it here first, but as long as there's someone!
I just hope they'll have pierogis on Mars.

Advance may speed development of seed rot-resistant soybeans
by Jan Suszkiw, United States Department of Agriculture

Soybeans have been called the "wonder crop" for all the products that can be made from the versatile legume—including cooking oil, tofu, livestock feed, and biodiesel, to name just a few. But America's second-largest field crop next to corn is no match against Phomopsis longicolla, a seed rot fungus, which, along with other species, cost soybean producers in 16 southern states over 2 million bushels in losses in 2012.
Applying fungicides, rotating soybeans with nonhost crops, and tilling the soil are among strategies used by growers to prevent P. longicolla from causing Phomopsis seed decay (PSD), a disease which degrades the seed and reduces the quality of the protein and oil constituents. "Breeding for resistance to PSD is the most effective long-term strategy," notes Shuxian Li, a plant pathologist in the Agricultural Research Service's Crop Genetics Research Unit in Stoneville, Mississippi.
As part of a Phomopsis resistance program there, Li has sought to learn more about how the fungus inflicts harm at the cellular level. Towards that end, she and colleagues enlisted the aid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium commonly used in genetic engineering procedures to endow plants with new traits. In this instance, the team used the bacterium to "shuttle" genes for an antibiotic marker and green fluorescent protein (GFP) into the nuclei of the fungus's cells. This resulted in new P. longicolla strains that produce the protein and emit a green glow when exposed to light in the blue-to-ultraviolet range.
"Green fluorescent protein is amazingly useful in scientific research, because it allows researchers to look directly into the inner workings of cells," says Li, who collaborated with Burton Bluhm and others at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. "Using this transformation method, we can monitor how the fungus infects plants."

The researchers compared the characteristics of seven GFP-modified strains to an unmodified "parent" isolate, and they confirmed the presence of the protein by using a molecular test method called "Southern blot analysis" and by direct observation with a confocal laser scanning microscope. A paper published in the March 2013 issue of the Journal of Microbiological Methods describes their research in detail.
Li plans on inoculating soybean seedlings with the modified strains to study how the infection process unfolds within the tissues of both resistant and susceptible soybean germplasm lines. She expects use of the GFP-expressing strains will also help to identify sources of PSD resistance that may escape detection using conventional disease-screening methods, such as field observation or visual assessment of seed on culture medium in the laboratory.
With the recent sequencing of P. longicolla's entire genomic code, use of the transformed strains will allow researchers to probe the function of specific genes for virulence directly in soybean plants, potentially unlocking new clues to protecting this important crop. Use of the soybeans with GFP, however, will be limited to scientific research.—By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service Information Staff.

Android is still the most attractive smartphone operating system for malevolent hackers, so devices based on the platform will continue to get compromised, researchers said at Black Hat Europe last week.
The researchers compared the attractiveness of Google's Android mobile OS and Apple's iOS platform for malware makers. As it turns out, Android is still by far the most preferable smartphone OS to target, according to data the researchers presented at the Black Hat conference, held in Amsterdam.
Trying to load malicious apps on an iOS or Android phone is the most likely method used by attackers, and that is easier with Android devices. Because iOS is a closed system, app developers have to sign up for $99 and provide information including their real identity. If Apple were to discover a malicious app, the risk of the attacker being caught is high.
"Android definitely has a bad future in front of them, they going to keep being exploited," Guido emphasised.


I saw this quote on Modern Marvels, a History Channel show, today from Twentieth Century Fox's movie executive Darryl Zanuck who predicted in 1946 that TV wouldn't last six months after its introduction.
"People will get tired of staring at a plywood box every night" he said.
I'm happy to see that the movie industry was just as forward thinking 60 years ago as they are today. Way to embrace new technology and use it expand your business and your relationship with customers. Can you imagine if they movie industry never embraced TV? Few if any movies would ever make a profit.

Home Earth Where's all the carbon going? Fjords, study finds
Where's all the carbon going? Fjords, study finds
Fjords – the long, narrow marine inlets in places like Scandinavia, New Zealand and Alaska – are the stuff of myths and legends and happen to be among the most beautiful natural features on Earth. They're also, according to a study published in Nature by a diverse group of researchers, excellent at absorbing excess carbon.
Despite accounting for only .3% of Earth's surface, fjords manage to soak up 11% of the carbon absorbed by marine sediment – to the tune of 18 metric tons per year. Their ability to retain so much carbon (thereby preventing it from being released into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas) may be important as the planet warms and glaciers melt, creating more fjords.
"Carbon sequestration is the big buzzword, but we're still getting a handle on how it works," said Thomas Bianchi, a University of Florida geochemist on the team that made the discovery. In order to make informed land-use decisions and accurate climate predictions, "finding and understanding these hot spots is critical," he said.
Fjords are actually uniquely positioned to be major carbon sinks. For starters, they're often flanked by lush, richly-forested cliffs and banks, which is the ideal location for collecting carbon-rich soil runoffs. Compared to oceans and river deltas, which are typically bordered by sandy beaches or wetlands, and the fjords' advantage is clear. Their long, deep construction also plays a part – the carbon-rich sediment sinks to low-oxygen zones in the water, where it's unlikely to be consumed by bacteria and pumped back into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas.
"It's amazing that systems that are so small can have such a huge global impact," Bianchi said. "It sends the message that fjords are not only beautiful, they're providing a very important service."
While scientists were aware that fjords had the potential to act as major carbon sinks, most research focused on river deltas due to their larger surface area. However, when averaged by area, fjords buried carbon at a rate double that of the oceans overall.
The study looked at fjords all across the globe, starting with New Zealand. They then compared their results with previous data from the Arctic, sub-Arctic Canada, British Columbia, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Greenland, Svalbard, Alaska, Chile, and Antarctica. There's still much to learn – they found that Alaska's fjords absorb much more carbon than those in other area, but have no idea why.
Part of the difficulty in studying fjords is that they're difficult to access. Unlike rivers and oceans, which can typically be accessed by car or boat, fjords tend to be isolated – some can only be reached by helicopter. Because they're formed by receding glaciers, they also happen to occur in places where its cold. It's obviously difficult, if not impossible, to take sediment samples from a fjord covered in ice. Satellite data, which can easily estimate the surface area of larger marine environments, isn't much help in mapping a fjord that's only 2km wide.
The role of fjords in carbon sequestration will only grow larger. As the planet warms, more glaciers will melt, creating more fjords. Their knack for carbon containment will be important in battling future climate change, though researchers caution that even carbon sinks as efficient as fjords are no match for what humans pump into the atmosphere.
