What happens when the intent of architectural gestures extends only to its ability and architectural trickery to make you buy as much as possible? And how, if at all, does the result relate to the notion of "Norwegian architecture".
Ikea Slependen in Asker is a masterpiece for what it is. Not more so than other Ikea stores around the world, but a masterpiece still. It is hard to walk through the store without at some pointy being intrigued by the possibilities offered to you. Be it to remake your entire living room to look exactly like one of the endless types/sets presented to you in full scale in the exhibition booths, or just the ridiculously low price of something you didn't know that you needed before. The feeling is almost that of a voyeuristic one when you walk from one bedroom to another, like in a hallway with transparent walls, and you can only dream that changing your life was as easy as stepping from one exhibition booth to another.
The "false" interior walls divides the display-rooms and acts as background for different types of homes.
The system of symbols is a strong contrast to the displayed goods. Finding the exit is easy as long as you go through the whole warehouse.
A question that occurs when trying to look critically at the architecture of this building is; what is actually the architecture? Is it the purely utilitarian construction of steel, concrete, sheet metal and symbols that encapsulates everything and acts as a sort of tabula rasa for displaying what Ikea hopes are your dreams? The only glimpse you will get of this, is outside from the parking lot or if you at any moment look up at the ceiling from you perfectly arranged living room, to gaze at the vast space of ventilation pipes and lamp rails that is ever present right above your head.
Or is the architecture here actually the rows of doll house like bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms with fake windows and one wall missing, always shifted and swapped with newer versions to meet the hopes of your new dreams?
Like many large modern buildings the Ikea warehouse contains false walls. However the false ceiling is missing, exposing structure and breaking the illusion of a domestic home(from dream to reality if you will).
An Ikea warehouse is somehow the antithesis of Norwegian architecture. The only relation to the site you will find here is a perfect connection to the highway. All other traces of a naturally created landscape has been leveled to facilitate big parking spaces and simple construction. Still the use of material is very much related to low price and pure functionality like most Norwegian vernacular architecture.
In a world where it's now possible to sell the same dreams with the same names to people across the globe, you can wonder if putting buildings in categories of nationality is becoming obsolete.

Intel and AMD CPUs face a new Spectre vulnerability… but it's all going to be okay
The aftermath of Spectre and Meltdown security vulnerabilities is still ongoing, and various new attacks (varying in severity and legitimacy) have surfaced online since Google's Project Zero bought them to the fore. However, there really is a new subclass of speculative-execution attack, yet again outlined by Google and Microsoft.
Don't be alarmed, as with the last Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities, this new attack is realistically about as dangerous to your home PC as a cat napping on your exhaust fans. That's not to say it has no potential to be dangerous in the wrong hands, but no exploits have been spotted in the wild as of yet, and the current mitigations for Spectre Variant 1 will also make Variant 4 exploits pretty tricky.
Get more processing power for your money with the best AMD and Intel CPUs around.
Variant 4, or Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), utilises the same speculative execution channels as other variants outlined previously, and this means it opens up data extrapolation from a side channel – this time, that means a language-based runtime environment, the likes of which are most commonly found in web browsers.
As most common processor architectures feature similar construction and utilise speculative execution in some way during function, Variant 4 could apply in some way to many processors and architectures from various manufacturers, including Intel, AMD, and ARM.
Intel are now working on full Variant 4 mitigation steps, which will come in the form of microcode and software updates, and they've already started rolling out beta updates to OEMs. AMD, on the other hand, released a statement confirming incoming Windows and Linux OS mitigations within software updates that will roll out in the usual way across these platforms. These will apply all the way back to AMD's Bulldozer platform products.
Variants 1 – 3 were all discovered back in January, unleashed on the world by Google's Project Zero team. Since then, various microcode and OS updates have rendered them largely obsolete, although the fallout has led to various new vulnerabilities making it to the light of day, including Spectre Variant 3a and some debatable security 'flaws' outlined by CTS Labs.
Intel and AMD are both promising to fix Spectre issues within upcoming hardware generations – you can expect these fixes in silicon within Intel Coffee Lake processors later in the year, and AMD Zen 2 chips in 2019.
What does all that mean to you? Keep your PC up-to-date and don't make yourself a target to nefarious actions is, and always will be, the best course of action to avoid these situations. While often forgotten beyond first installation, keeping your motherboard's BIOS updated is a critical step in keeping your PC secure and performing at its best – so make sure to check your board manufacturer's website for the latest version available.

do farmers now raise soap, puddings and cupcakes?
Can someone please explain to me why farmers markets are now full of crap? We went to a local farmers market on the weekend, and apart from the odd stall (one selling Yendon tomatoes and eggplant, one with mushrooms, another selling local bread and ONE SINGLE stall selling locally grown mixed veg) the rest of the market was filled with stalls selling things that are not anything like what should be at a produce market. These products (and good quality products mind you) do have a place to be sold, but that place is elsewhere, not at a farmers market.
Puddings, pesto, dips, soaps, 'gourmet sausages', cupcakes, biscuits, worm farms, overpriced gourmet jams & chutneys, expensive chocolate and other products many involving the word gourmet or artisan. It really makes me mad! What should be at a 'Farmers Market' is locally grown primary produce, veg, fruit, local raised meat and game, live chickens, ducks, rabbits, yabbies, nuts, mushrooms, and please more of the basics like bread (We have no decent bakeries in town that are not either a supermarket bakery or a franchised pre-mixed bakery). A farmers market is set up as an alternative for us to buy the basics, the staples that are are product of a local economy. Not sandalwood infused exfoliating soap.
The reason why the stalls are filled with rubbish is for two main reasons.
1. There just isn't the local grass roots industry 2. Some turkey long ago discovered that middle class white yuppies love farmers markets and will part with spare cash so it was identified as a good place to sell 'product' like overpriced pesto and soap.
I'd like to see more fresh produce. Not for me, I grow my own, but for the punters that go to a farmers market and expect to see farm raised product on sale. The reason for the low numbers of punters at the market weekend might be that they are now wary of the same old products being sold. Products that obviously have very little to do with farmers! Maybe they should be called 'Artisan overpriced stuff' markets.
So I'm going to test a theory. I want to see if I can get enough produce from local backyard growers for us to have a stall at a farmers market this summer. The idea would be that everyone puts in a bit of excess produce, we sell it, and then go to a pub and blow the money on booze and talk about the worlds problems.
So who's in? Please contact me if you're local to the Ballarat region and may have home grown excess produce and want to get involved. This isn't about making money, it's more about connecting us backyard farmers!
PS. I'm on detox this week. Is it obvious?

Owner of New Addington takeaway 'devastated' after kitchen fire forces restaurant to close
The owner is not sure if he'll be able to get the takeaway up and running again before Christmas

The owner of a New Addington takeaway which was badly damaged by smoke and flames after a fire broke out has said he is devastated that the restaurant has had to close.
Vi Ton, 44, was on his way from his home in Bexleyheath to the Peking Inn, on Headley Drive, on Monday when he got a call to tell him a fire had started in the kitchen.
Four fire engines and 21 firefighters and officers were called to the fire, which damaged most of the Chinese restaurant on the ground floor and part of the flats on the first floor, at 2.14pm.

Mr Ton said: "I was on my way to work from home when I got a call from the builder who was working at the restaurant to tell me there was a fire in the kitchen.
"At first I underestimated how big the fire was because when you work in cooking, you see fire all the time.
"It was a much bigger fire than I expected."
The family-run restaurant was closed when the fire broke out, Mr Ton said, but his older brother was in the kitchen preparing to open for dinner service.

He said: "We are closed on Mondays at lunchtime so the only person in the building was my brother, who was busy getting ready to open.
"I haven't had much chance to speak to him as he is still in shock.
"The business has been in the family for 21 years and my father owned it before I did - we are all devastated but also relieved that no-one got hurt."
Mr Ton's brother managed to leave the building before fire crews from Beckenham, Bromley and Croydon fire stations arrived at the scene.
He was treated for smoke inhalation at the scene by London Ambulance Service crews.

The London Fire Brigade investigated the cause of the fire and said on Tuesday (November 28) that the flames are believed to have started in a deep fat fryer which was turned on without enough oil.
A statement released by the brigade said turning on the appliance "without sufficient levels of fat" likely "caused it to overheat, ignite and spread to fat deposits within the extraction system".
It took firefighters about an hour to bring the blaze under control and the takeaway, which was cordoned off along with neighbouring Indian restaurant Suruchi and the entrance to Netley Close by police.
Mr Ton believes that because of the repair work that needs to be done, the Peking Inn will not be able to open again before Christmas day - leaving himself and three others out of a job.
"We are working on getting open again but it's going to take a while to sort everything out with insurance and it won't be until after Christmas," he said.
"It's bad timing but at the end of the day, life happens and you've just got to pick yourself up and carry on.
"There are some good people out there, especially in New Addinton.
"I just want to get everything sorted out as soon as possible."

Danielle Ward, of Headley Drive, witnessed the fire and took a photo of black smoke rising from the property.
She said: "I was sitting on the sofa and heard sirens and saw a fire engine go past, then another.
"I wondered what was going on but didn't think anything of it at first.
"Bu I could still hear sirens and then another four fire engines flew past - at that point I knew it was something serious.
"I saw people coming out of their houses opposite so I went outside and saw thick clouds of smoke.
"It was crazy - the Peking Inn is a family place with many generations working there and now they'll all be out of work for a long time, right on top of Christmas."
Another witness, Norman Clarke, 50, of Headley Drive said he heard loud popping noises from the fire.
Describing what he saw, he said: "It was big dark smoke coming out of the roof, windows, sides, everywhere.
"A guy kept trying to go in to get his keys, he said.
"I told him 'your life's more important than keys'. It could have been a death if he went in."

Saving the Trumpeter Swan
Written by Dave Baxter
A trumpeter swan in the 1950s.
The Beaver Winter 1955
The trumpeter swan is celebrated for its majestic appearance, considerable size, and graceful motions, but it wasn't long ago that the species was close to singing its own swan song.
In the Winter 1955 edition of The Beaver, a feature article created by husband-and-wife team Richard and Lyn Harrington gave a first-hand look at the lengths to which some people in Canada and the United States were going to keep the trumpeter swan alive.
The article titled "Triumph of the Trumpeter" states that for much of the early twentieth century the trumpeter swan population in North America was dwindling, and extinction seemed a foregone conclusion. By the 1950s, however, the species was making a comeback, as conservation groups beefed up efforts to keep them alive.
In the mid-1950s, Bernard Hamm held the unique title of Swan Guardian of the Alberta Peace River and worked to save trumpeter swans that settled and bred in the Grande Prairie region of Alberta.
The swan standing next to him in the photo on the right might seem calm, but in actuality the bird was dead and had been stuffed so that Hamm could use it as a visual aid while giving lectures about his work. Hamm would typically watch over trumpeter swans in the region from April until late fall and would do what he could to protect the birds and their eggs.
Bernard Hamm stands next to a stuffed swan.
The job didn't come without risks, as one of Hamm's assigned tasks was to remove infant swans from drying sloughs and get them to areas with water.
But as the article states, when it comes to protecting their offspring, adult swans are "fiercely protective, and a smart blow of their powerful wings can break a man's leg."
Today the trumpeter swan is thriving in North America, with a population of more than sixty-three thousand birds as of 2015, according to statistics released by the Trumpeter Swan Society.

Vi er så heldige at kunne bringe et interview med den underskønne Meghan Markle – også kendt som Rachel Zane fra TV-serien Suits. Foruden at være en skøn skuespillerinde har Meghan startet det online univers The Tig, så det var kun naturligt at ChriChris Christiane og The Tigs Meghan sammen tog en snak om inspiration, arbejdsliv og fremtid. Læs med og bliv inspireret af den smukke intelligente skuespillerinde og iværksætter.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. A true native of "la-la-land"!
What did you want to become when you where a child?
I think I was fairly convinced I would be the President of the United States or a newscaster – something where I was able to speak and be very official. Ha! My, how things have changed!
My first job was at a frozen yogurt shop called Humphrey Yogart; I served and blended specialty frozen yogurts and I was 13 years old.
You've created and founded an online inspiring universe "The TIG," how (why) did you come up with that idea?
I really wanted to be able to share my travel and food tips with people beyond my close friends. I have always loved pointing people in the right direction—the best hidden gems, the best tiny restaurants—and as I have gotten older, that has extended to beauty and fashion as well. That was the impetus for The TIG, but what it has evolved into is a community for inspiration, which I absolutely love.
How is a regular day for you – workwise?
Sometimes I go to set at 4:30am to film, and other days I go in at 9pm and work until 4 in the morning. It really depends. In my trailer between scenes, you can find me eating a veggie and hummus plate and writing stories for The TIG.
And then, how would your ideal day be – workwise?
I sometimes wish my work days were more consistent, but these are "champagne problems" as I call them. I am the luckiest girl in the world and living the dream. That is never lost on me. I'm very grateful.
Where do you find inspiration for your ideas, contributors etc.?
Do you have a mentor or someone you respect, that is in the same genre of business as you or just who inspirers you?
It runs the gamut: Arianna Huffington for what she did with the HuffPo, Jessica Alba for creating a venture that evolved into an incredible company, my mom for going to complete her undergrad and masters in her 40s.
What is most challenging about having your own company/online universe?
The response from men and women who feel inspired. The ability to share such personal stories and have them resonate with people—whether it be about being biracial, or an only child, self-conscious, or self-critical—I try to be as candid and honest as possible and share my life stories. There's a misconception that because you're on TV or in films that you're somehow not struggling with things—it's just a different version of the same thing, so I try to share whatever I have learned (or am continuing to learn).
Do you have any advice for people starting on their own – one say it are a road of trials? Battles, ups and downs – is that true?
A piece of advice was given to me many moons ago: "Don't give it five minutes if you're not going to give it five years." Just stick with it—that will separate you from the rest.
No. I work hard, but I take time to relax, to rest, to meditate, and to enjoy delicious wine with friends!
What are your hopes and dreams for the future workwise?


Mumbai, spread over an area of 437.71 sq km with a population of more than 12 million people, generates around 6,500 tons per day (TPD) of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and 2,400 TPD of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. Characterized by high population densities, vast quantities of waste, large slum areas and proximity to sea coast with high humidity levels, and tidal inundation, Mumbai poses a unique challenge to the management of MSW.
The challenge in the context of Mumbai lies in developing scientific and environmentally compatible MSW processing and landfill facilities while keeping the site specific constraints in mind. To provide environmental solution for developing an Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWM) for the Metropolitan city, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has appointed IL&FS. The ISWM Project, which includes a comprehensive waste disposal plan, has been developed on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework. The Waste Management Plan is worked out as a set of independent but well synchronized projects, for each of the disposal sites at Gorai, Kanjur, Deonar and Mulund.
The Gorai dumpsite is located in the western suburbs of Mumbai. It spreads over an area of 19.6 ha and is operational since 1972. The site is adjacent to Gorai creek and is very close to habitation. Approximately, about 2.34 million tons of waste up to an average height of 26 m is lying at the site.
The Gorai closure project envisages converting about 19 hectares of land at Gorai dumping ground into green landscaped spaces for the Mumbai citizen. The existing practice of open dumping that has been followed since 1972 has caused significant environmental damage in neighborhoods adjoining the disposal site. The creek waters have been polluted due to inflow of leachate and the air quality has deteriorated from the frequent burning of garbage at the Gorai dumping ground.
As part of the scientific closure strategy, IL&FS recommended leveling and reforming the existing heap of MSW and incorporating environmental mitigation measures including laying of impermeable surface cover (Geo-textile/HDPE sheet), sheet piling to secure the site against tidal inundation, landfill gas (predominantly methane) collection and leachate collection system, development of a green belt and landscaping including a green cover over the dumpsite.
The capture and combustion of methane gas will result in a substantial reduction of greenhouse emissions and thus has the potential to earn carbon credits. Since IL&FS has pioneered the use of advance carbon financing to enhance sustainability of operations in several municipal waste management projects across the country, they were retained by the MCGM to provide CDM project advisory services in availing the CDM benefits for the project.
The Company was instrumental in getting an Advance Purchase Agreement signed with Asian Development Bank (ADB). As a result of this effort, MCGM has received an advance of Rs 250 million against future delivery of Carbon Credits from the Asia Carbon Fund of the ADB for the Gorai project. The transaction is one of the largest Carbon advance transactions in Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in the world. It includes emission reduction to be generated from the project post-Kyoto protocol i.e. emissions in 2013-14 as well will get Rs. 250 million for the CER's sold until 2012. The Scientific Landfill Closure and Methane capture project at Gorai sets a benchmark in urban rejuvenation. The immediate benefits from the project are significant: the project has created 19 hectares of green space in Mumbai and led to the restoration of mangroves. Other environmental benefits include improvement in public health and hygiene; elimination of foul odour, fire and vermin nuisance, an improvement in the quality of creek water and an increase in avian fauna population. The project also demonstrates that the carbon credit finance mechanism can catalyze environmentally sustainable and financially viable closure of existing dumping sites and thus directly eliminating methane and replacing fossil fuel electricity generation to prevent GHG emissions in the atmosphere. The project provides a replicable role model for other municipalities.

In recent years interdisciplinary collaboration between different subjects has increased, particularly in the new organizational forms of science (SFBs, clusters).
What does it mean for gender dynamics, when two disciplines with different proportions of women and different gender cultures are working together?
Do these hybrids, compared to classical disciplinary research, promote or hinder women?
Are there general dynamics, or do they emerge in association with specific types of interdisciplinary collaboration?
Based on four case studies of both SFBs and clusters, we try to answer these questions using ethnographic methods and interviews.

Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic, his `art', and prepares to return to the mainland.
The Tempest is one of the most suggestive, yet most elusive of all Shakespeare's plays, and has provoked a wide range of critical interpretation. It is a magical romance, yet deeply and problematically embedded in seventeenth-century debates about authority and power. Performed variously as escapist fantasy, celebratory fiction, and political allegory, The Tempest is one of the plays in which Shakespeare's genius as a poetic dramatist found its fullest expression. Significantly, it was placed first when published in the First Folio of 1623, and is now generally seen as the playwright's most penetrating statement about his art.

A Man For All Seasons: Essay Q&A
The lights come up on Hampton Court with Cromwell sitting on the stairs and Richard Rich entering. Rich explains he came with the Duke of Norfolk. Cromwell asks if he is the Duke's secretary, and Rich, embarrassed, says that he does secretarial work, looking after the Duke's library. Cromwell points out their ironic and differing fortunes. Rich is stuck in a backwater, though the new Chancellor is his friend, while Cromwell is now in the King's service, though his old master was the disgraced Wolsey. Rich says that More is not his friend, though he did set him up with the Duke of Norfolk. Cromwell tempts Rich with the possibility of a position. Rich asks what he does for the King, and just then, Ambassador Chapuys enters and repeats the question. Cromwell introduces Chapuys and Rich, and when Chapuys wants to know Cromwell's title, he says he is "The King's Ear" (38). He does whatever the King tells him to do. Chapuys teases him about why the King should bother with Justices, Chancellors, and Admirals. Cromwell answers, "Oh they are the constitution" (38). Cromwell brags to Chapuys that he just helped launch the Great Harry, a warship with sixty-six guns. The King himself will be the pilot guiding her down the river. Chapuys corrects him and says the ship has fifty-six guns. He knows the King is going to Chelsea. Cromwell seems surprised he knows this, but admits Henry is going to Chelsea to talk to More about the divorce. Chapuys says that More is a good son of the Church.
More's steward, Matthew, arrives. Chapuys leaves, and Cromwell beckons to Matthew. Matthew tells Cromwell that More won't speak of the divorce to his family but that he goes white if anyone mentions it; More is worried about it. Cromwell pays him for the information. Cromwell leaves and then Chapuys pays Matthew for other information. Matthew tells Chapuys about More's devout religious habits, for which the Ambassador pays him. Then Rich enters and asks Matthew what he told Chapuys and gives him a coin. Matthew tells him and when they have all gone, Matthew turns to the audience and explains that the information he gave was common knowledge, but since these men paid for it, they will make it into some dangerous secret.
Act One, Scene Six: Commentary
Although the news of More's promotion to Chancellor would seem to be fortunate, in terms of honor paid to him and the country's welfare, this scene brings tension as we sense what he is up against. Even Wolsey fell trying to please the King, and More is not out to please the King but rather, his own conscience. Rich has an ax to grind with More in that he didn't get a high position from him. Cromwell and Chapuys are already haggling over More and what direction he might go on the divorce. They bribe Matthew to find out if More is going to cave in to the King's desire. Cromwell and Chapuys represent the demands of the King of England and the King of Spain, in between whom is sandwiched Sir Thomas More, who insists he must represent the law, the Church, and his conscience. The odds against More are piling up, especially when we learn the dreaded Henry is sailing a battle ship down the river to Chelsea to confront More in person. More has been good at dodging things so far, but sooner or later, it seems that he is going to have to take a stand.

I ordered a new desktop and Mini 9 on Mar 7 and was given an anticipated delivery date of April 9. The desktop arrived on the 3rd. However, to date I have received three notifications of delay for the Mini. They now tell me the Mini will show up on April 27. I've lost count of all the Dell computers I've purchased over the years and this is the first time they have dissappointed me in this manner. Is it time to switch to another computer manufacturer?
Sorry you are experiencing a delay with the delivery of your laptop computer. Dell's laptop manufacturing is done in Malaysia and depending on parts availability it can take about 7 - 10 days to build one, ship it to the US, then box it up and have it ready for the package shipper. Then it would depend on what type of shipping the customer purchased for it to arrive at their house.
The Mini 9 is one of our most popular computers right now, so the demands from the parts manufacturer to get the parts to Dell's manufacturing facility is pretty intense. The current delays are postponing our original delivery estimates and extending those a bit. Right now it looks like the supplier for the base (the plastic parts that surround the system) is having difficulty supplying us with sufficient parts to fill the orders within that 7-10 day time period I mentioned.
Please believe me Dell is not intentionally trying to disappoint you personally, as many orders are affected by these delays. We appreciate your continued patronage and your patience, as these estimated ship dates are just that, estimated. Things can happen faster or slower depending on the parts delays. If by chance the parts get to us quicker, all the delayed systems will be put on a fast track to get them built and out to the customers quickly.
Hope this explains things for you. Thanks again for your patience. If I can assist you further, please Private Message me.
Well just received delay notification number four. Someone told me not to purchase a Dell as the company has truly slipped. I believe them now. If I hadn't already ordered and received several accessories for the Mini you can bet I'd be going elsewhere. As it is I'm trapped.
My order delivery is delayed by 37 days.
The only answer I got was that they have more orders than expected and that their manufacturer cannot solve all orders.
More and more I don't believe this.
Well I haven't received my official fifth delay notification yet, but I just checked my status and its been set back another five days.
Looks like I need to cancel and go Samsung.
We're up to the sixth delay now. Ordered 03/07 and new anticipated delivery date is 05/15.
Another week, another delay. The seventh now. Ordered 03/07 and new guestimated delivery date is 05/22.
After seeing your posts, I am really, REALLY starting to get worried. I ordered a Mini 9 on 04/28 and was given an estimated delivery date of on or before 05/14. As of right now, my Mini is still "In Production". How could they possibly get it tested, boxed, shipped and delivered in 48 hours? I really wish I could get a phone call or even an email letting me know about a delay, which seems to be the case, even though I was told specifically by customer service last week that there was no delay.
Which Mini did you order? If you will send me a Private Message (by clicking on my name, under my pic) with your Order Number, Customer Number and Telephone Number, I'll be happy to look it up for you. Thanks.

Irving, Texas (November 17, 2014) – To celebrate the highly anticipated release of "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," the final film in Peter Jackson's epic "The Hobbit" Trilogy, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the nation's largest donor and volunteer-supported mentoring organization, has teamed up with Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM) and New Line Cinema to inspire audiences to "Start Something Epic." The partnership was developed by LINK Entertainment Marketing, the leader in connecting brands with the emotional engagement delivered through the power and storytelling of entertainment. The campaign launches on November 15th with television ads featuring scenes from the movie, as well as print media, encouraging audiences to "Start Something Epic" by either donating or volunteering.
In theaters December 17, 2014, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. Messages of growth, leadership and perseverance resonate throughout the film. With encouragement and support from Gandalf, Bilbo discovers his own depths, courage and ingenuity—he just needed someone to help show him the way, and, when necessary, give him a push in the right direction. Their iconic friendship is emblematic of the relationship between an adult volunteer ("Big") and a child ("Little") enrolled in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. The similarities helped to inspire the tagline, "Whether you are Big or Little, Start Something Epic," inviting audiences to become a Big Brother or Big Sister to a child in need.
For 110 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has impacted the lives of children by carefully pairing screened adult volunteers ("Bigs") with children ("Littles") in safe, one-to-one long-term mentoring matches. The organization provides mentors, mentees and parents ongoing professional support and guidance. Studies have shown that children enrolled in the program are more engaged in school, less likely to use drugs or alcohol, and have greater confidence and improved relationships with their peers, parents, and teachers.

Ames Monument
The Ames Monument is located about twenty miles east of Laramie at a place which was, prior to the relocation of the railroad about three miles south, the highest point (8,247 feet) on the route of the Union Pacific, the first transcontinental railroad to be built in America. When completed in 1882, the Ames Monument stood about three hundred feet south of the Union Pacific tracks and on a knoll which, being 32 feet higher than the tracks to begin with, caused the apex of the Monument to rise 92 feet higher than the railroad tracks.
The monument, a memorial to the Ames Brothers of Massachusetts, was designed by the prominent American architect, H. H. Richardson, and built by Norcross Brothers of Worchester, Massachusetts. It was constructed of granite rock native to the area, the light-colored granite being quarried from a jutting pile of rocks one half mile to the west of the monument and skidded by horse and derrick to the construction site.
The monument is geometrical, four-sided pyramid, sixty feet square at the base and sixty feet high. "Random ashlar" is the appropriate designation for the type of construction employed in the Ames Monument. "Ashlar" refers to the rough-hewn granite boulders by which the monument was constructed, while "random" refers to the coursing or jointing of the irregular-sized granite blocks in the process of construction. The Ames Monument was erected under the authority of a resolution adopted by the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad Company at a meeting held in Boston on March 10, 1875 in memory of Oakes Ames in recognition of his services in the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Why the Army Needs Foam Goat Heads
By Mark Thompson
Training is the key to winning battles, the U.S. military believes, and the more realistic, the better.
"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat," Richard Marcinko, the first commander of SEAL Team 6, famously said. That's why the Army has a whole command dedicated to readying troops to fight, complete with huge faux battlefields in California, Germany and Louisiana. They've got Potemkin villages and pseudo city blocks to give soldiers the sense that they're on real-world missions.
But it all boils down to the details. That's why the Army is buying flocks of foam animals and foam fruits and veggies. "Atmospherics props are designed to enhance the village concept training in Military Operations in Urban Terrain sites," the Army's Fort Knox says of its cadet summer training. "The purpose of this acquisition is to enhance training quality by adding a measure of realism to Mission Command Leadership Exercise operations."

It's almost like Old Sergeant MacDonald went to Costco and loaded up the minivan:
Such victuals are common in Afghanistan and Iraq. And just like the ol' Christmas manger, it's nice to have some livestock standing around to give a war game that realistic sheen:
The entire herd and all the goods "shall be made of fire retardant foam and will be the size of actual item counterpart," the Army says. "They will be colored to look like actual item counterpart."
But war, of course, is not all fun and games. "The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure delivery serviceable items," the service warns. "The contractor shall be held liable for any unserviceable or defective items received." That's because, for want of a foam goat's head, the battle could be lost.

With a permanent official population of 13,000,000 living in a sprawling expanse of 6,486 square miles, Beijing takes its place in the 21st century as one of the largest, most bustling cities in the world.
As home to such famous historical attractions as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, China's major tourist hub currently attracts more than 10 million foreign visitors per year.
Find out more about this hot travel destination that is about to become hotter still with its growing acceptance of Western culture and international status as an Olympic host city ...
Beijing travel must-sees
The Great Wall - Once a symbol for China's desire to keep foreigners out, today the engineering and architectural wonder has become, ironically, a main symbol of Chinese tourism. Badaling was the first section of the Wall opened to tourists and is only part of the more than 4,000 miles of mountains & valleys it traverses throughout China. It's a thrilling spectacle even for seasoned travelers who want to say they have walked the Great Wall - at least once.
The Forbidden City - Also known as the Palace Museum, it was the official home of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Today, it is a major Beijing tourist attraction where visitors can walk the great halls and pavilions, marvel at the ornate courtyards and view one of the largest collections of Chinese art & jewels anywhere.
Watch for at least sections of the Palace Museum to be forbidden - once again - as restoration work continues for its 600th anniversary celebrated in 2020.
Tiananmen Square - Near the Forbidden City, the 440,000 square meter city square is the largest in the world, and for its size and scope alone is a must see on any visit to Beijing.
Be sure to visit the Tiananmen Tower, the massive granite Monument to the People's Heroes, and plan on seeing the national flag raising ceremony performed daily (but get up early!) at sunrise.
Beijing's main city square is where people have naturally gathered for centuries, and here is where Mao Zedong declared the People's Republic of China in 1949. 40 years later, a famous pro-democracy demonstration inside the square resulted in the deaths of hundreds of protesters. Although the protest went down in defeat, the government has since clearly undergone a social and economic revolution that is ongoing.
Getting to Beijing
Flying time from New York to Beijing is 20-24 hours (including a stopover on the West Coast); or from Chicago, approximately 17-20 hours. On a direct flight from California, count on 13 hours air time on a direct flight.
Maps of Beijing
Beijing Capital Airport is 16 miles from the city center, and of late has been a chaotic scene as a growing tourist base outpaces the facility's capacity. A larger terminal was completed in time for the 2008 Summer Olympics period, however, which promises to ease some of the crush during peak periods.
Main airlines serving Beijing from the U.S. include United, while Canadians may depart either Vancouver or Toronto via Canadian Airlines. In the UK, British Airways offers flights to Beijing.
Also consider other major airlines departing for Beijing from their major hub cities including KLM via Amsterdam, Lufthansa via Frankfurt, or Finnair via Helsinki at considerable savings.
As with traveling anywhere else, much cheaper airfares to Beijing can be found by surfing the Net, booking tickets far in advance, staying over Saturday night, or flying mid-week or at less trafficked times.
Getting around Beijing
Look for blue & white
Beijing subway signs.
- Beijing by subway -
Beijing underwent a multi-million dollar overhaul of its subway lines with four new routes and a special airport link completed in 2008. Beijing subways circle the city or bisect it in various directions. The subway runs daily from 5 AM to 10:30 PM. Fares are 2 yuan per ride. Signs and announcements are in Chinese and English - making this the easiest option for getting around for foreign visitors.
- Beijing by bus -
Although Beijing has added more buses to its city fleet at present the bus remains the less appealing option for getting around Beijing. Buses are usually packed during peak rush hours, and foreign visitors must have their destinations written down (in Chinese, please) to let conductors negotiate the fare rate.
- Beijing by car -
Although car rentals have been an unusual idea in Beijing, Hertz China has made inroads into the market with an office at the Jianguo Hotel, which rents cars from around US$50 per day. The rental usually comes with a driver and restricts travel outside city limits. Many more options are available via pre-arranged airport transfer or city tours by limousine.
- Beijing by bicycle -
If you're up for it, seeing Beijing from a bike can be THE way to see the city as a native. However, be prepared to join the masses of other bicyclists trekking through miles of designated bicycle lanes on major streets and avenues. As the bicycle is the major form of transportation throughout China, rental shops are cheap and plentiful throughout the Beijing.

Cyclones Idai and Kenneth
TSF reconnects families affected by Cyclone Idai
TSF reconnects families affected by Cyclone Idai No electricity, no food, no money, no house, no accessible roads, no way to contact anyone or seek help, no way to know if your son or daughter, husband or wife are alive and safe. Cut off from the rest of the world, in the time of one night: this is what thousands of people in the coastal region of Mozambique, near the city of Beira, lived after the passage of Cyclone Idai. https://www.tsfi.org/en/our-missions/disaster-response/cyclone-idai/tsf-reconnects-families-affected-by-cyclone-idai https://www.tsfi.org/@@site-logo/LogoTSF_LOGO CARRE BASELINE.png
No electricity, no food, no money, no house, no accessible roads, no way to contact anyone or seek help, no way to know if your son or daughter, husband or wife are alive and safe. Cut off from the rest of the world, in the time of one night: this is what thousands of people in the coastal region of Mozambique, near the city of Beira, lived after the passage of Cyclone Idai.
TSF teams during the humanitarian calling operations in Mozambique
For over a week, Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF) has been providing them with the possibility to contact their families through ambulant humanitarian calling operations. In some of the poorest areas of the city, the consequences of the cyclone and the floods have been particularly harsh. 12 sites have already been covered by TSF operations, including 8 schools hosting over 2,000 displaced people.
Thanks to these operations, Elena, 33 years old, displaced with her 6 family members and her sick kid, managed to contact her relatives living in Chimoio, 200km north of Beira, for the first time after the disaster. Thanks to TSF, Guida finally managed to talk to her daughter who lives in another affected area. Guida now lives in one of the schools serving as refuge for those who have lost their house. She called her daughter not only to check if she was alive but also to ask for help, since she doesn't have food and doesn't know where to go or what to do.
You know that a cyclone hit the region where your family is living, but you cannot reach them to know what happened to them, you don't know if they are alive, and there's nothing you can do. In such situation, every hour, every minute becomes an unbearable burden. Hearing again the voice of your loved ones, knowing they are safe, that they made it, becomes an invaluable relief.
TSF continues also its support to the humanitarian coordination through two satellite connections installed at the operations centre set up at the Beira airport. Considering the very difficult situation and limited information on the affected areas, this connection allowed emergency response teams to coordinate their operations. Since alternative telecommunications means are now available, TSF will move one of the two satellite connections for its activities in support of the population.
At the coordination centre, 83 humanitarian organisations have been connected, including at least 7 UN agencies, over 10 governmental agencies and tens of local and international NGOs, Over 460GB of data have been exchanged, with nearly 1,000 devices connected.
The impact of Cyclone Idai has been catastrophic: in Mozambique alone, over 1.8M people have been affected and 129,000 displaced. With over 1,500 injuries and 447 reported deaths, the country has suffered the most severe consequences of the cyclone. In this context, while continuing the support to the humanitarian coordination and the ambulant calling operations in Beira, TSF teams already started to assess the telecommunication needs in the areas between Beira and Chimoio and foresee calling operations as well as the installation of satellite connections in the Buzi and Dombe areas, west of Beira.

After a powerful cyclone made landfall in Mozambique in the night between 14 and 15 March, TSF teams deployed to the coastal area of Beira to provide communication means to the affected population.

Use of mHealth within the healthcare industry on the rise.
According to the data, tablet computers and smartphones appear to be starting to replace the use of desktop or laptop computers to access information. Approximately 28 percent of polled hospitals indicated that their organization used smartphones and 24 percent indicated that their organization utilized tablet computers. Data indicates that an average of 169 devices are deployed per hospital.
Practitioners polled also reported that the use of these updated technologies improved their ability to communicate with other healthcare providers and that the use of these devices gave them a more positive overall work experience.
Another benefit of physicians using mobile devices could improve patient care. One-third of providers reported that using smartphones and table computers could have a positive impact on quality of care and care coordination, as well as improve care efficiencies.
Though the practitioners that currently utilize these updated technologies seemed optimistic about the use of these devices, the data revealed room for improvement. Only 33 percent of providers polled indicated that they are confident in their ability to access the clinical technologies they required through smartphones or tablet computers.

*Treatment of ovarian cancer involves the surgical removal of all the visible, existing tumour.
*For young women of reproductive age, we try to keep the healthy ovary and uterus intact, whenever possible.
The ovaries, and their respective fallopian tubes, are bilateral organs found in the pelvis, attached to either side of the uterus.
● The production of the female gamete (egg). Every month the ovary releases an egg during ovulation, this travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus.
● Secretion of female hormones. The ovary is the main source of oestrogen and progesterone which are the female hormones involved in several processes including regulation of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and breast development, amongst others.
● During menopause the ovaries stop producing eggs and female hormones.
● Epithelial cancer: discussed further below, this represents 90% of ovarian cancers.
● Germ cell tumours. Very rare (6-8%).
A team of specialists mainly comprised of gynaecological surgeons and medical oncologists are involved in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Each patient's treatment depends on several factors, the most important being the degree of spread of the disease on diagnosis and the patient's clinical condition.
Treatment of ovarian cancer generally consists of the surgical excision of all the visible, existing tumour, which is known as optimal surgery. In the majority of cases this is followed by chemotherapy treatment which consolidates the surgical treatment performed. The complexity of treatment will depend on whether the cancer is at an initial or advanced stage.
When the gynaecological surgeon operates on a patient with suspected ovarian cancer, and an ovarian mass is found with no evidence of spread of disease in the abdomen or pelvis, the first step is the removal of the affected ovary and fallopian tube which are then sent to the pathologist.
● Excision of the ovary and uterus (hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy).
● Excision of the part of fat which is found in front of the intestine (omenectomy).
● Specimen collection (biopsies) in several locations in the abdominal cavity, and in any suspicious areas, including the removal of the appendix even if not apparently affected.
● Biopsy of the abdominal lymph nodes (lymphadenectomy).
Histopathological analysis of all these specimens will determine the definitive stage of the disease.
In the majority of patients with stage I disease (tumour limited to the ovaries), surgery is curative. However, 20-30% of patients present recurrence of the disease and theoretically may benefit from chemotherapy treatment complementary to surgery.
● The histological grade: Patients with grade III tumours (most aggressive) have a lower rate of survival than those with grade I tumours.
● Stage: Survival at 5 years after surgery is higher than 90% in stages IA-IB and is at 70-80% in stage IC.
● Rupture of the ovarian capsule, either before or during surgery.
There is a great amount of data in the medical literature, based on clinical trials, which shows that giving chemotherapy treatment increases survival in women who have had surgery for ovarian cancer at an early stage and who present any poor prognostic factor (Grade 3, stage IC and/or rupture of capsule). However the best chemotherapy regimen, or the optimum number of cycles, have not been determined in this situation.
Whenever possible, at HC Marbella we recommend an initial approach using a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure which is carried out through small incisions in the abdomen. This approach can be converted to standard surgery during the same operation if there is confirmed ovarian tumour involvement.
What is often found by the gynaecological surgeon on opening the peritoneal cavity in patients in advanced stages, is that the tumour has spread outside the ovaries and presents multiple different sized implants in the abdominal and pelvic cavity.
In these patients, as well as the surgery performed during the initial stages (removal of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, appendix and fat in front of the intestine), excision of the greatest amount of visible tumour must be performed. It is known that those patients with no remaining macroscopically visible tumour, present better survival rates than those who have visible residual tumour.
This type of surgery is known as "cytoreductive" and, unlike with other malignant tumours, there is a correlation between the quality of the surgery and patient survival.
When the patient is left with no visible residual disease it is said that she has reached "optimal cytoreduction" and in these cases there is an increased chance of survival. All cases of surgical treatment will be followed by chemotherapy treatment as surgery alone is never curative in these cases.
In young women of reproductive age, who are in the very initial stages, and have no other risk factors, we try as far as possible to keep the healthy ovary, fallopian tube and uterus intact. We do perform the remainder of the precautionary intra-abdominal biopsies, for greater security and correct staging.
Our surgeons at HC Marbella are experts in these methods of fertility preservation and understand when this type of approach would be the most appropriate option.
The key consideration in our minds is always to provide the best technique to cure your cancer and give you a normal life afterwards.
Consult us about your case. In Spain, our Oncologists and Specialist Consultants are leaders in their field, and recognised throughout Europe. They will evaluate your case and tell you which type of ovarian cancer treatment is appropriate for you.
The team works in multidisciplinary committee groups, and our key consideration is always which technique is best to treat your cancer and enable you to live a normal life afterwards.


It should come as no surprise that not every business has a dedicated cybersecurity specialist. Some VSBs and even SMBs do not have a full-time IT person, even though they are exposed to the same cyberthreats as everyone else is, and they need protection. This task is not impossible with the right instruments, such as our recently updated Kaspersky Small Office Security.
Small and very small companies are stuck in the middle: Consumer cybersecurity products are insufficient for them, and enterprise solutions require too much management.
At best, an SMB might have an IT person, someone who is responsible for cybersecurity. But IT is a lot more than cybersecurity, and one person doing it all cannot devote much time to managing a heavy security solution. However, even that is a best-case scenario. According to our "Growing businesses safely: Cloud adoption vs. security concerns" study, about one-third of VSBs dedicate the role of security management to nonspecialist internal staff — and some companies have no IT role at all.
As a result, you do not need to be a security specialist or even an IT professional to install or manage Kaspersky Small Office Security. Our solution provides out-of-the-box protection from most relevant cyberthreats and can be managed by almost any office employee. The Web console provides all information necessary for managing cybersecurity: information about licenses, users, devices, product versions, and so on. The main protective subsystems do not need much attention, so your employees can concentrate on their regular tasks instead.
What is it actually protecting?
Businesses of all sizes can fall prey to a variety of malware and social engineering attacks such as phishing. Here are some of the other small-business assets Kaspersky Small Office Security can protect.
Financial fraud is still one of the most damaging types of attacks. Kaspersky Small Office Security has a Safe Money subsystem that can protect your finances from scammers. It ensures that you access only genuine, secure financial sites, and it protects your financial data from unauthorized applications and unsafe browser extensions.
Your business information is another primary target for cybercriminals. That is why our solution allows encryption of files and folders, and also includes an automated backup and restore feature to protect your data from cryptomalware.
Our solution can help keep your business applications up to date. By running a scheduled search for application updates, it decreases the risk of cybercriminals exploiting unpatched application vulnerabilities.
Part of Kaspersky Small Office Security is Kaspersky Password Manager, which can store passwords, bank account details, document scans, and text notes in a secure vault.
In case you need it, Kaspersky Small Office Security can be installed on the server and protect it as well as a workstation.

In many ways this seems such a stark verse. It lays out a clear reality: if you are aware of fear in your life, it is probably an indication of an area of your life where the love of God has not permeated. The challenge, of course, is that we all probably have such areas in our lives - but the good news is that there is more of God's love to experience.
You probably don't have to think too hard to identify an area of fear in your life! As you think about it, what part of God's love are you struggling to trust? It may be that deep-down you doubt that he will be there for you, that he does not love you as the person you are, or something completely different. Try finding a promise from the Bible that counteracts whatever you are struggling to trust. For example, if you are fearful about being alone, a promise made by Jesus is that he will be with you always. Whichever promise you choose, write it down, memorise it and for a few minutes repeat it until the words become natural.
By doing this, it is likely that whenever your fear or anxiety surfaces, so will the promise. At least now you have a choice about which claims your attention and upon which you will focus.


When Tenaya Jayne isn't creating beautiful graphic art or baking a chocolate cake that could bring you to tears, she writes fantasy books that are also known to evoke a mix of emotions from her readers. Jayne started writing fantasy to escape from the pain and harshness of life, taking readers along for the ride. The initial plan was to only write two books, but she never anticipated the overwhelmingly positive response she would get from fans, who were begging her for more. As our author of the day, Jayne reveals what inspired her to start writing, talks about her favorite authors and what it felt like when she she finished the last book in the Legends of Regia series.
Please give us a short introduction to what Forbidden Forest is about.
Why do you write fantasy? What is it about the genre that appeals to you?
Pain. I began writing my first book in my twenties, and I was inspired at that time by heartbreak. My toddler was not developing normally. I was in denial for a long time, but when I truly had to face there was something wrong, I needed to escape to help myself through the dark, painful time. So, I escaped into my own imagination. As a child, I was constantly accused of having and overactive imagination, as if that was some kind of curse, or incurable disease. I'm a daydreamer, and my imagination is wild. Only in fantasy can I truly indulge my mind. There are no constraints in fantasy. Anything I want to happen is possible. I love that. I need it.
In your bio, you call yourself an escape artist. Why do you think it is important for people to escape to a Fantasy world every now and again?
It's good for the soul. Life is hard and painful. Fantasy is a wonderful way to let go of stress.
Did you plan from the start for this to be a series? Can the books be read as standalone stories or do they end on cliffhangers?
When I first wrote Forbidden Forest, I had no idea it would turn into a seven book series. My original plan was just for the first two books and that was all. It would end there. My couple achieved their HEA, the story was over. Right? I never anticipated the overwhelmingly positive response I got from my readers, or the cry I received to continue on and write more in the world of Regia.
The Legends of Regia books are meant to be read in order. I've got quite the reputation for my nasty cliffhangers.
What do you like to read for your own entertainment? Any favorite authors?
I like to read in most genres and I'm always on the lookout for a new voice I don't know. I tend to stay away from nonfiction. I don't want reality in my reading time. As far as favorite authors, goodness there are so many. I love Nora Roberts, Dean Koontz, Sherilynn Kenyon, Ray Bradbury, Tanith Lee…This could take a while. I'll just stop there.
Graphic art. I love photomanipulation. It's another creative outlet for me. I'm quite domestic as well. I love to cook. I can make a chocolate cake that can bring you to tears.
Your readers report that your book evoked a whole mix of emotions, from anger to laughter to tears. Was this intentional?
It's not really something I thought about as I was writing. I have found in real life that even in the darkness, you can laugh. Love can make you furious as well as elated. All that comes out in my writing. Despite the fact that my characters are fantasy races, they are human in their relationships and feelings. As an author, there is no greater joy than to know someone connected with your story or characters on an emotional level. When you get feedback from a stranger, telling you they cried at the end, or melted at the romance, or laughed aloud…yeah, that's what makes me feel successful as an author.
You ended the series with Lightning Flower - were you sad when the series came to an end?
It was bittersweet. I did cry a little. In my mind, I've lived in Regia for the last six years. It kind of felt like selling your home and moving away from your best friends. When I did write those two little words, the end, I became fully aware why some authors keep a series going well beyond its expiration date. It is very difficult to let go. I could write Regia forever, but I'm a believer in quitting while you're ahead. It was the right time and I finished strong.
The Icicle Spider trilogy. I'm really excited to finally be writing this story, it's been banging around my head for about ten years. Because it's still in the early phases, I don't have a whole lot I can share about it, but I can show you the trailer.
