It's going to be hard but FUN! The reason it will be hard is because we are starting the church up here fresh! When I say fresh I mean no one has heard it. We have church in our apartment. Elder Hair and Elder Omini have been doing great but they said last week 15 people came to church so we do the talks, the sacrament, the teaching EVERYTHING! We are the branch presidents pretty much! It's going to be sweet! The Bennett's are the couple missionaries up here with us they are so sweet and fun to b around! There are 10 Elders all together and 3 apt. All have their own chapel inside so it's pretty sweet. It's just like the early Saints. Honestly I couldn't have asked to be anywhere else. Elder Alba my new comp is Jack's MTC comp. So he is still young but ready to work hard! There isn't much about people or anything like that because we have just been so busy learning how everything works up here. It's a completely different mission up here! I'm just so happy and excited!!!! It's going to be an amazing experience! So just know that I love you and miss you!!!


FINALLY, THEY WARN AGAINST THE FISH, AFTER ALLOWING YOU TO EAT IT WITHOUT ALERTING YOU TO THE RADIATION CONTAMINATION, BUT THEY CAN NO LONGER KEEP IT QUIET!!!
A more complete record is emerging of radionuclide measurements in fish [from] across the Pacific… Fish 100–200 km east of [Fukushima], coastal fish in the Aleutian Islands… and trans-Pacific migratory species, all had increased dose rates as a consequence of the FDNPP accident.
At Amchitka Island [in Alaska] the 134,137Cs dose rates to [greenling and rockfish] were only slightly higher than pre-event levels… The increase… appears to be due to atmospheric transport from Fukushima as 134Cs was measured… in freshwater fish [11 Bq/kg in trout].
Persistence of the radionuclides in fish was not anticipated by existing models… ongoing measurements are needed at locations near the FDNPP and further along the predicted plume trajectory… Some areas that have experienced air deposition in 2011 (e.g. Aleutian Islands), should continue monitoring as they may experience a second arrival of 134,137Cs in subsequent years via an oceanic plume.

If wishes were horses, beggars would be…
Haider Mehdi's Perspectives
By Syed Haider Raza Mehdi
Nawaz Sharif's Act of Treason: Launching an undeclared War on Pakistan Armed Forces with the backing of US & India
I think it's getting close to one Qabar and two bodies.
Nawaz's aim is political martyrdom.
As long as he controls the party he will continue to create chaos.
But, as history tells us, this great land of Punjab knows which side of the paratha has more ghee.
And with each passing day as the power struggles between the brothers Sharifs and other groups within PMLN intensify we will see his grip loosening.
This will make Nawaz and especially Princess Tubelight Maryam Safdar, even more desperate and they will resort to desperate measures. To understand Nawaz one only has to recall his instructions to Sohail Zia Butt many years ago.
"Butt saheb Thoray jeean golian sholian….thay Thora jiaa khoon kharrapa!"
Therefore, I have a feeling of great disquiet. A sense of, God Forbid, a major urban terrorist attack and or some highly potent acts of violence. Perhaps even attempts at assassinations. These could be across, political, ethnic, sectarian and religious divides to create more chaos and disorder.
Some orchestrated by PMLN and some by our "friendly" neighbours, India and Afghanistan and our Godfather, the USA.
The last mentioned, continously attempting to keep Pakistan unstable, through political unrest and economic meltdown, create civil unrest, weaken Pakistan and achieve their ultimate objective of defanging us of our nuclear assets.
Iran will likely not try anything funny because a stable Pakistan is in their interest. But some of our other "Middle Eastern brothers" especially Saudi Arabia, will silently support this subversion of Pakistan now no longer expecting much from us. They are very angry at us for not supporting their Yemen misadventure and helping them kill over 20,000 Yemeni women cholden and civilians. They are also extremely upset that we didn't join their mad sectarian war against Iran sponsored by the Trumpeter from the USA, despite the very secretive command of a phantom anti terror coslition headed by an extremely uncomfortable Raheel Sharif. And lastly not siding with them against their Qatari misfire.
Saudi Arabia has now openly allied itself to the USA, India, Israel, UAE, Egypt, Regional bloc in direct opposition to the Chinese, Russian, Pakistani and Iranian bloc.
So major geo political realignments driven by selfish national Interests, which must always reign supreme, have changed our relationship with Saudi Arabia.
The same goes for the UAE, which is now also very closely allied to Israel. UAE faces significant economic challenges and competition from CPEC and Gawader and now Qatar. So I don't see them shedding any tears to see a weak and on its knees, Pakistan.
These anti Pakistan external forces will also support the PMLN in creating major chaos within to serve their own interests and not out of any love lost for Nawaz.
Nawaz has clearly announced an "undeclared" all out war against the Army, with his recently acquired "Nazriaathee" dogma. He hopes to goad and force the Army into some kind of action. But one sincerely hopes that the Army does not fall into this trap.
But one does hope and pray they also provide full support to the Supreme Court and investigators in doing their jobs. This is a sad reality. But in a Nation of Mafia Dons, with an ex PM your biggest, this support is critical.
Today only Imran, the Supreme Court, and the Army are the three internal saving graces. China being the one major external one.
In my opinion, an ideal scenario given the current environment and without any extra constitutional steps would constitute the following outcomes.
1. NAB references against Nawaz and family to be filed ASAP.
2. Irfan Mangi as DG to head investigation
3. Quick trial and conviction of Nawaz and family. Jail. Seizure of assets and lifetime disqualification. The evidence is all there. And conviction and lifetime disqualification for others, especially Ishaq Dar.
4. NAB reference against PM Abbasi for LNG. Trial, lifetime disqualification, conviction and Jail.
5. Shahbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah Model Town trial followed by Conviction. Disqualification and jail.
6. Zaradari NAB references. Trial. Disqualification, Conviction and Jail. Same for Faryal Talpur.
7. Census based demarcation and remarcation of election constituencies.
8. Changes of heads of NAB, FBR, FIA, State Bank, SECP.
9. New constituted Election Commission comprising competent and honest professionals without biases.
10. Trial and conviction of Zafar Hijazi of SECP and Saeed Ahmed of NBP with extremely harsh and exemplary punishment to send a message to senior bureaucrats that they can, and will be taken to task if they do the bidding of their political masters by indulging in illegal and criminal acts.
All above through constitutional petitions filed with the Supreme Court.
That's my ideal scenario. But if wishes were horses, beggars would be kings.
Of course many will target this as an attempt to remove a "legally and democratically" elected PM through a judicial coup.
The answer to this is simple. If your Prime Minister and family and your Finance Minister and current PM are criminals, crooks, money launderers, irrespective of how they were elected, they must face the due process of law.
And yes this process must go on to catch others as the judicial process gains strength and investigators are able to do their jobs without fear.
Therefore, in my opinion, this is the only way for us progress, positively.
The people of Pakistan have another golden opportunity to cleanse the Augean stables.
We owe it to all our brave sons and daughters, military and civilians who gave the ultimate sacrifice for Pakistan and to our future generations to fix ourselves, once and for all.
We must not lose this opportunity to rid us of the cancer of Nawaz and Zaradari and all they represent and everything that's corrupt in any institution, civilian or military.
Let's not forget that Our Flag flutters not because of the breeze, but the dying breaths of its brave men and women who died, defending it.

BROTHERS MASTER CROOKS & DESTROYERS OF PAKISTAN VIA CORRUPTION:
NASEEM ASHRAF & IQBAL ASHRAF
Dirty Fingers in the Cookie Jar of Every Government
By Sarmad Ali
Islamabad, Jan 28 (Pak Destiny) The Nawaz Sharif government has rewarded Syed Ahmad Iqbal Ashraf by appointing him president of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) for his services – sanctioning Rs500 million loan to the Ramzan Sugar Mill of the Sharifs in 1990s.
"Ahsraf has also been given a task to settle down Rs3billion loan of Itifaq Foundry which it had taken from the NBP in the 1990s," the sources said.
The sources said Ashraf was the regional director of NBP when he had sanctioned Rs500 million to the Sharif's Ramzan Sugar Mill when they needed money. Salman Shahbaz had asked his uncle to appoint Ashraf.
A chartered accountant by profession, Ahmad Iqbal is a brother of Dr Nasim Ashraf, the former minister for National Commission for Human Development (NCHD) and president of Pakistan Cricket Board in General Musharraf's government. Nasim Ashraf brought in Musadak Malik, a big time crook, whose connections with a super power are highly suspicious. After Nasim Ashraf and Iqbal Ashraf absconded from Pakistan, they left their master-mind Musadak Malik to be an Advisor to Nawaz Sharif. This unemployed US Pharmacist, still a US Citizen has a gift of gab and can through use of this gift he wiggled his way into Nawaz Sharif's Cabinet as an his Advisor.
He replaced Dr Asif Brohi who had three years to reach the retirement age.
A total of 51 candidates had applied for the post. The selection was originally to be made by a high-powered commission comprising Federal Tax Ombudsman and two academicians from Agha Khan University and Lahore University of Management Sciences. – Pak Destiny

Panamagate: No record for Sharifs' past business dealings, counsel tells Supreme Court
HASEEB BHATTI
in DAWN, Pakistan
As the Supreme Court resumed hearing the Panamagate case on Wednesday, Advocate Salman Akram Raja picked up his arguments where he had left them off.
After welcoming Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed — whose sudden illness had forced a suspension in the case's daily hearings — Raja reminded the court that "this is neither a trial nor the defendant a witness."
"I will only argue this case based on the evidence present," Raja, who represents Hassan and Hussain Nawaz, continued.
The record for the Sharif family's business dealings for the last 40 to 45 years cannot be reproduced, the counsel said, as "it was lost during the 1999 martial law."
The matter can be sent to relevant departments for inquiry as the Arsalan Iftikhar case determined that trials for cases can be held at corresponding forums, Salman Akram Raja told the court.
"A court has never conducted an independent inquiry in any criminal case," Raja argued, adding that Article 10 of the Constitution says that every citizen of this country deserves a fair trial and that departments formed under the law should be allowed to do their job.
"There is no charge against the Prime Minister, so there is no charge against his children either," he continued.
"If we suppose that the PM's children are his employees, according to the National Accountability Bureau's laws, then the burden of proof does not fall on the defendants," Raja argued in court.
"This is not a criminal court, so even if Hassan and Hussain Nawaz are suspected, there is no proof against them," he added.
There were eight questions that the court posed to the defendants, including the relationship between Mian Mohammad Sharif and the Al Sani family, the shares in Nielsen and Nescoll, and the profits the family gained from them, the counsel recalled.
Lawyer Salman Akbar said that Sharif family has ties with more than one Qatari royal family but he cannot disclose the name of other royal families before the court due to certain reasons.
"There were questions about the trust deed as well, and in this hearing, I will answer all these questions," he told the court.
Justice Khosa advised Raja that he should first finish his arguments before answering the court's questions.
Moving on to the matter of the London flats, Hussain Nawaz's counsel argued that the flats were bought by the Al Thani family between 1993 and 1996.
"The Sharif family did not own the flats in 1999, as Hussain Nawaz was given the bearer certificate to the flats by the Al Thani family," Raja argued. He added that the shares for the flats were given to Minerva Financial Services in 2006.
Upon hearing this argument, Justice Azmat Saeed asked the counsel to provide a paper trail for these transactions, and said, "You have been moving from one point to the other since the beginning, but have failed to provide any evidence in this regard."
The allegation is that Maryam Nawaz contacted Minerva Holdings, Raja retorted, upon this, the bench asked that evidence should be proved that Hussain Nawaz is the beneficial owner of the offshore companies.
PTI's new evidence
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) had announced on Tuesday that it would submit three more documents to disprove the stance adopted by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family, but the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is not convinced.
"We are submitting three more documents — one from PTI chairman Imran Khan that authenticates all previous documents presented by the party, the expert opinion of UK-based lawyers and a document that proves that Maryam Nawaz is the owner of UK-based firms Minerva, Nielson and Nescoll," PTI spokesman Fawad Chaudhry told a press conference.
He said that Imran Khan would submit an affidavit stating that all documents previously submitted by the party were credible and authentic.
PML-N MNA Daniyal Aziz told Dawn that PTI's lawyers had already completed their arguments and submitted all the evidence they had to the apex court. "Once they have completed their arguments, how can they file more documents?"

Search for the millions Sharif 'stole'
The investigator Pakistan's PM could not stop
Paul Farrelly in London and Jason Burke in Raiwind
Saturday 23 October 1999 20.14 EDT
They tortured Rehman Malik by placing his hands and feet on ice for up to an hour at a time at a 'safe house' in Islamabad. Three years on, he still has trouble feeling sensations in his palms and soles from the punishment, meted out in black masks, by Nawaz Sharif's heavies.His neck, too, bears the painful crick from a year spent in solitary confinement in a tiny cell at Rawalpindi's Adila jail with a brick wrapped in newspapers for a pillow. Malik, in mortal fear of convicted terrorists and official hatchet men, found his monthly half-hour visit from his seven-year-old son his single comfort.
Three times following his arrest in November 1996 the courts ordered Malik's release. Each time he was re-arrested on trumped up charges until, after 12 months of humiliation, the Pakistani Supreme Court itself ruled his detention illegal.
Malik's crime? To have been the deputy head of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Pakistan's equivalent of the FBI, investigating allegations of massive corruption by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his family, and cronies.
At 46, he was the youngest officer to reach such a senior rank, the equivalent of an army major-general. In a 20-year career, Malik had gained an impressive reputation in the West for anti-terrorist expertise, including investigation of the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing in New York and of Saudi fundamentalist Osama bin Laden. And, after Malik's inquiries were publicized by The Observer last year, he started a ball rolling which culminated in the coup against Sharif. 'I have suffered enormously from doing my duty as a civil servant. My friends, family, and colleagues have been harassed. My life has been at risk,' Malik told The Observer in his first UK interview since fleeing Pakistan for London after an attempt on his life 15 months ago. 'I am not a politician, but I welcome the army's action. They have saved Pakistan from someone who was ruining the country. As a career officer, I would like to return to fulfill my official obligations as soon as possible.'
He is also promising further explosive revelations, which will implicate Sharif and senior Muslim League politicians in allegedly creaming off more of the country's wealth overseas.
Malik's report last year was painful enough for the deposed Prime Minister, as were the cat-and-mouse tactics by which Malik has been a thorn in his side since. The 200-page report, smuggled into the country on Sharif's official Jumbo jet, set out a secret web of fake bank accounts and firms in offshore tax havens through which Sharif's family allegedly siphoned off more than $70 million (£40m) into London property, Swiss investments and banks in New York.
The family, whose empire grew hugely while Sharif was in office, was also accused of defaulting on $120m of state bank loans, a favourite way of milking the public purse.
According to further documents seen by The Observer, however, the revelations appear to be the tip of an iceberg. Following inquiries over the past year, Malik says he has established further channels by which the Sharif family channelled money illegally offshore.
They include $2.74m allegedly deposited in the account of an Essex-based Pakistani family at the Atlas BOT (Bank of Tokyo) Investment Bank in Lahore as security for loans to four Sharif family members. They also include $4.6m deposited at the Al Faysal Investment Bank in Islamabad as security for a loan to Hamza Board Mills, a paper, and forestry firm in the Sharif family's Ittefaq group.
Among all his amassed wealth, Sharif also appears to have concealed ownership of a Russian-made Ulan helicopter, which he used during election campaigns. The aircraft, worth more than $1m, was bought from an Arab prince, Sheikh Abdul Rehman Bin Nasir Al Thani of Qatar, in November 1996 and registered in Sharif's name at the Pakistani Civil Aviation Authority, according to official documents obtained by Malik. It was, however, not declared on Sharif's statutory filing of assets and liabilities to the country's Election Commission. 'This was a man who once told me he could not afford a second-hand Mercedes. How then could he buy a helicopter?' Malik asks.
Most explosive of all, however, is likely to be Malik's new investigation, which is almost concluded and alleges laundering of more than $100m offshore via a network of UK trusts, Swiss accounts and offshore havens including Liechtenstein.
An Observer investigation has revealed other instances of alleged corruption during Sharif's last administration:
• In an emergency budget after Pakistan's nuclear tests last year, import duties on luxury cars were cut from 325 per cent to 125 per cent. A week later they were restored. In between a friend of Sharif imported 80 cars.
• In 1996 senior figures at Bankers Equity Limited, a finance house granted a huge loan, believed to be more than £10m, to close associates of Sharif. Last summer the bank collapsed and several senior managers, including a friend of Sharif's, were arrested. The loan is outstanding.
• After the 1997 elections the Sharif family and their business concerns were able to reschedule and renegotiate loans worth nearly £100m from eight banks. When ordered by courts to pay some back they surrendered 33 factories. Only one factory was fully operational, the rest closed, out of order, or both.
Sharif, his family, and former Ministers have consistently dismissed the allegations as politically inspired.
Sharif himself is still in 'preventative custody', as the army calls it, in a government guesthouse on the outskirts of Islamabad. General Pervez Musharraf, the self-appointed Chief Executive of Pakistan, has not revealed his plans for the man ousted in a coup 10 days ago. Military sources say the evidence is being gathered to put Sharif on trial for corruption and possibly treason.
Sharif's former residence, the 100-acre Raiwind estate, near the city of Lahore in eastern Pakistan, is widely seen as a symbol of the opulent lifestyle the Sharifs have led since their pursuit of power and wealth began to pay off 15 years ago. Last week The Observer was the first Western newspaper to visit it since Sharif's fall.
Brand new roads lead out of Lahore, where the Sharifs have two other houses, to the walled 100-acre estate. A turning leads to a helicopter pad and a set of steel gates. Beyond is an open, grassy compound where five houses, all in white-washed villa style, lie in a rough circle around a man-made pond. Each has a huge colonnaded porch sheltering a £20,000 four-wheel drive Jeep. Two of the buildings are partially constructed as is a pool, though a lake stocked with fish is completed. There is a small zoo.
All the houses are similar, with deep red carpets and velvet curtains throughout. Sharif's own house is distinguished by the number of televisions – the Prime Minister was gadget crazy. Now army machine gunners have replaced the bodyguards who previously watched the compound's perimeter. And the muzzles of their weapons point in as much as out.
Raiwind is, to the ousted Prime Minister's critics at least, a symbol of how his administration manipulated government to benefit itself.
According to opposition spokesmen, Sharif has 'used public office for personal economic gain'. It is corruption, they say, even if it is within the letter of the law.
Soon after coming to power for a second time in February 1997 Sharif declared the Raiwind site to be the 'Prime Minister's Camp Office' – his home away from the capital. The local municipal authority took on the estate's maintenance at an estimated annual cost of 40 million Pakistani rupees (£500,000) and built a new road for it, while the state has also supplied gas, electricity and a 200-line telephone exchange.
Near Raiwind last week feelings were mixed about Sharif's fall. Many remain loyal to a man they see as a local boy made good. 'He has done a lot around here,' said Ahmadullah Ali, a farmer. 'He is a good man.' In the rough and tumble world of Pakistani politics, Sharif may be down, but he still isn't out.

On Saturday I had the opportunity to give a short speech at the opening of VR Corner in Chinatown, Sydney. Here's my talk transcribed below. I've also included some pictures & videos of the VR Corner launch event at the end.
In Season 1 Episode 9 of This Mobile Life, I sit down with my good friend Alwin Chin. The topic we discussed was "The Agile Toolkit For Product Teams".
Alwin Chin is a Start-up Entrepreneur, Software Engineer/Architect with a passion to see IT craftsmanship come to life in the business world. A true technical specialist with numerous years of experience in Web technologies and eCommerce applications development. Alwin loves not just technology, but Agile processes and methodologies like Scrum, XP and KANBAN bringing together teams for a common good. He has experience working at Macquarie Bank, NBN, Transport NSW and as the founder of the startup Stampii.
Can agile work with mobile apps?
Can non-tech people hire developers effectively?
I have always been fascinated with all things tech. Through the years I have been naturally finding my way into the mobile industry. Or did it find me? It used to be that mobile assisted us with calls. Then we added some personal features like playing 2D monochrome games such as Snake, calendars, taking photos and storing our precious, precious Mp3 music files. It widened its reach when it connected to the internet and then came the rise of the app store as a distribution platform. The inevitability of mobile is in our face (literally). It is now a go-to staple for our practical daily needs.
One of the biggest challenges I've faced in building products is the exercise of restraint. The other day I started using a new product which was an early version available to the public and I thought "wow this is really good". Someone has made a conscious decision as to what to include and what to exclude. This is product restraint.
Other times, I'll start using a product and think "this is really confusing! I can't figure out what to do". I have to jump through a lot of hoops. They've added too many features to the product.
A challenge that all product creators would have come across is figuring what to put into the product. Product management is about building the right thing at the right time. This is incredibly hard to do. An art and a science.
I finished reading "Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist" by Brad Feld & Jason Mendelson. Before jumping into my next book, thought I'd take some time to reflect and make a few notes on the Venture Deals book.
The purpose of the Sydney Startups AMA's is to increase the level of knowledge in the Sydney Startup community. We want to give access to the best entrepreneurs and investors to the Sydney Startup ecosystem. Our community continues to grow. We now have 3,600 members as of 13 November 2015.

 * This class implements basic interface to the ZIP archive. It can be
 * used to read table contents of the ZIP archive and retreiving

 *
 * You can also use this class to open files inside archive by passing
 * pointer to the instance of this class to the constructor of the
 * QuaZipFile class. But see QuaZipFile::QuaZipFile(QuaZip*, QObject*)
 * for the possible pitfalls.
 *
 * This class is indended to provide interface to the ZIP subpackage of
 * the ZIP/UNZIP package as well as to the UNZIP subpackage. But
 * currently it supports only UNZIP.
 *
 * The use of this class is simple - just create instance using
 * constructor, then set ZIP archive file name using setFile() function
 * (if you did not passed the name to the constructor), then open() and
 * then use different functions to work with it! Well, if you are
 * paranoid, you may also wish to call close before destructing the
 * instance, to check for errors on close.
 *
 * You may also use getUnzFile() and getZipFile() functions to get the
 * ZIP archive handle and use it with ZIP/UNZIP package API directly.
 *
 * This class supports localized file names inside ZIP archive, but you
 * have to set up proper codec with setCodec() function. By default,
 * locale codec will be used, which is probably ok for UNIX systems, but
 * will almost certainly fail with ZIP archives created in Windows. This
 * is because Windows ZIP programs have strange habit of using DOS
 * encoding for file names in ZIP archives. For example, ZIP archive
 * with cyrillic names created in Windows will have file names in \c
 * IBM866 encoding instead of \c WINDOWS-1251. I think that calling one
 * function is not much trouble, but for true platform independency it
 * would be nice to have some mechanism for file name encoding auto
 * detection using locale information. Does anyone know a good way to do
 * it?

Prins Claus Bridge, Utrecht
Prins Claus Bridge was completed in 2003 but originally without any architectural lighting. The structure quickly became an iconic for Utrecht during the day. In 2009 the city recognised the value of sympathetically illuminating this elegant feet of engineering, so the Bridge could be fully enjoyed at night.
dpa lighting consultants worked closely with UN Studios, the original Architects and the Client to design a lighting solution that emphasised the sculptural qualities of the structure, whilst being careful with energy consumption. The idea to focus attention on the main pylon with its complex shapes, and the points at which the bridge connects to the ground either side of the canal quickly materialised. The lighting has been designed to show off the shape of the Pylon, with one face not directly lit, other surfaces illuminated and shadows from the cables allowed to emerge.
The Bridge appears differently as you move around the adjacent areas, and particular effort was put into not illuminating the lengths of the cables, and just allowing a brush of light fanning across cables as they get closer to the structural pylon.
The face of the Pylon orientated towards the city, is illuminated with carefully controlled narrow beam metal halide projectors, some with lenses located in the aperture between the two road decks so that they cannot be seen during the day, and do not glare drivers at night. The two side surfaces facing the canal are illuminated from carefully controlled metal halide projectors on a specially designed column, and the other surface is not illuminated at low level with just some narrow beam metal halide projectors, picking up the top of the pylon and creating shadows from the cables.
Below the road deck the main pylon connects to the surface in a shape like a paperclip. Metal halide projectors have been located below the road to reinforce this shape visually, and connect the pylon with the ground. Again, as with the pylon above the deck, some surfaces are lit, and some are not to provide interesting modelling and emphasis to the elegant but complex forms.
The underside of the road deck connects with the ground with a sweeping curve, and these curves are illuminated to provide a visual connection of the road deck to the banks of the canal. Efficient metal halide projectors carefully controlled have, as with other elements, been utilised here too.
Immense care was taken in all aspects of the design process to reduce energy consumption and seamlessly integrate the new lighting with the Bridge.

Children try their hand at canoeing as part of The Rio Grande Valley Diabetes Association Camp ENERGY for diabetic children Friday June 09,2017 in Mission.
Camp Energy in Mission is bustling with loud music, lively children and enthusiastic counselors. The campers dance, hike, canoe, and swim. And several times a day, they line up inside a colorful abode to have their blood sugar checked. Each camper is a child from the Valley with diabetes.
Since 2006, the Rio Grande Valley Diabetes Association has hosted an annual three-day/two-night summer camp for children between the ages of 6 and 16. Its purpose is to give the participants a supportive community and show them that their diagnosis does not have to affect their quality of life.
Elsayed, a co-founder of the RGVDA and the chairman of the board of executives, said the camp can be intimidating when a child has never been away from their parents for an extended period of time. He knows parents tend to be more protective than most when their child first gets diagnosed, but he works to educate families so they are comfortable with letting their kids be kids.

Children enjoy different types of fun activities during the The Rio Grande Valley Diabetes Association camp for diabetic children at Camp Energy Friday June 9, 2017 in Mission.
But the kids do have medical needs, so the camp accommodates that. Medical staff stays overnight, as do some of the volunteers — most of whom are nursing students at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. There are also certified diabetes educators and RGVDA members present, but no parents.
The medical professionals conduct regular blood sugar checks to ensure that each camper is healthy and in good condition, but they are not the only one doing the work. The kids themselves know their symptoms, how much insulin they need at any given time, and how to maintain their diet. They even compare insulin pumps.
While Elsayed has a close relationship with the campers and counselors, he knows it's more effective for the kids to learn from each other than the adults. The camp fosters a peer-to-peer community where they can share information and make friends.
The camp also integrates awareness into everyday actions. The kids are able to make their own meals, but have to calculate how many carbohydrates they will consume before doing so. They learn portion control, substitution of ingredients and balancing a variety of foods.
In addition to the kids learning how to manage their diabetes, the camp is also an opportunity for future medical professionals to gain experience. The nursing students, supervised by nurse practitioner and UTRGV professor Orelia Herrera-Erdem, volunteer as camp counselors and help with tasks like checking blood sugar levels.
Herrera-Erdem said she has seen the camp help the young people mature, gain confidence and become more social. She feels fortunate to be part of something that inspires them and makes them feel less alone.
Elsayed has seen the same growth, but he also sees how these kids are just like others their age that do not have a diagnosis. While canoeing, one camper began swaying back and forth to throw the counselor into the water. At the camp talent show, one camper did stand-up comedy. Being part of the RGVDA has given him the opportunity to help others and the chance to be reminded of the childlike spirit.


Like most Celtic blogs I've published quite a few articles on Rangers in administration. To be perfectly honest with you all I'm sick to the back teeth of it all. This thing is dragging on and on and on to the point where it's becoming tedious.
The carry on with Duff and Phelps, the lack of progress from the SPL in the side letters investigation, the SFA being taken to court indicates that this nonsense is going to carry on through out the summer whether RFC are liquidated or not it's clear an RFCor Newco will start the season in the SPL because there will be appeal after appeal, court case after court case and that will give the SPL and The SFA the excuse to say we can't do anything until these cases are sorted out and that includes the EBT HMRC case. Most importantly the fixture list will be released with RFC in one form or the other listed on it and season tickets will be sold (With Celtic offering tickets with or without the Rangers game ) . So we are looking at a total farce which is out with the normal football fans control. Basically I'm sick of it. I won't utter another word on these matters until it's finally resolved.
I can't speak for the other TCN blog writers but I'll just be concentrating on writing about Celtic and EURO 2012.
NEVER TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE BALL! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ESTABLISHMENT WANT US TO DO. THEY WANT US TO GIVE UP ON IT ALL AND SAY JUST GET ON WITH LETTING THE CHEATS BACK INTO THE S.P.L BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE SAGA!… NO CHANCE! …ITS A WAR OF ATTRITION AND THAT IS THEIR BEST HOPE OF LETTING THIS TOXIC WASTE DUMP BACK INTO THE FOLD WITH MINIMUM OF PENALTIES. IF ANYTHING WE MUST SHOUT EVEN LOUDER AND MORE OFTEN TO LET THEM KNOW THAT WE WILL NOT BE STANDING PASSIVELY ASIDE TO LET THIS HAPPEN. THIS IS A CROSSROADS AND PORTING INTEGRITY IS ON THE LINE. STAY VIGILANT!
I'm not taking my eye off the ball. I'm just not wasting my time writing about them.
Sorry for shouting with CAPS James just got a bit carried away there with the thought of letting this Toxic Keech away with it. I fully understand your sentiments.

Batman Arkham developer Rocksteady reportedly making a Suicide Squad game

Time to dump Chrome: 8 alternative desktop web browsers
Google is working on a few new features and UI changes for the Maps app on Android.
One of the upcoming features will provide users with a "first-mile" option for connections to public transit.
Google Maps may also let users get more accurate ride fares by sending route information to third-party apps like Uber.
Earlier this month, Google Maps for Android finally gained YouTube Music integration, making it possible for users to access playback controls when in navigation mode. App sleuth Jane Manchun Wong has now discovered that Google Maps could soon gain a few more useful features.
For commuters, Google Maps is working on 'Connections to Public Transit' route options that will allow users to choose their "first-mile" transportation for the trip. As can be seen in the screenshots below, the options that will be available include car, bike, rickshaw, motorcycle, and ride services such as Uber.
Google Maps may also begin to show more accurate ride fares in the near future, by allowing users to send route information to third-party services such as Uber. Once users enable the 'feature,' they will be able to view accurate ride fares immediately within Google Maps. While only Uber appears to be listed currently, it is possible that more ride-sharing platforms such as Lyft will be added before the feature begins rolling out to users.
Google may also introduce a minor UI tweak for the Maps app on Android. The search bar at the top could be rounded off, with the profile picture of the user appearing on the right and the Google Maps logo on the left.

Jarrow Formulas Alpha GPC Review – 8 Reasons To Consider
Evidence Based This BrainReference content is medically reviewed or fact checked to ensure factually accurate information. Click for more info. | Overview | Ingredients | Health Benefits | Cautions | Cost | How To Take | Does it Work | Alpha GPC Comparisons | Q&A
Alpha GPC is a cholinergic and nootropic which is supposed to support neuronal health and your ability to learn. Bottles of 60 capsules are sold by Jarrow Formulas, a successful supplement company created in 1977. They encourage scientific study, both within the company and in outside establishments. Jarrow says they have strong relationships with researchers and academic institutions, sometimes funding new studies on the potential of new ingredients for dietary supplements.
Alpha GPC Readers: HCF® Happy, Calm & Focused is offering our readers a free trial ($1.95 S&H) for a limited time. Click here for this Amino Acids [Blend] special offer!
Each capsule contains 300 mg of Alpha GPC (L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine, also known as choline alfoscerate). It's a natural compound found in the brain and some foods, thought to be an essential nutrient by some. It's used to promote healthy cognitive function and increase athletic performance (this is still undergoing human study and may be similarly effective as arginine). It might also support cellular membranes, and aid in preventing mental decline. Studies show that Alpha GPC has a notable effect on cognitive decline and symptoms of Alzheimer's. It can increase power output and growth hormone among athletes as well; a pilot study found Alpha GPC increasing power by 14%, which would be more effective than a typical daily dose of caffeine.
2) Details on Alpha GPC Ingredients and Uses
Alpha GPC contains the following ingredients: Alpha GPC (L-alphaglycerophosphatidylcholine/choline alfoscerate), Silicon dioxide, stearic acid (vegetable source), cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable source) and dicalcium phosphate, capsule consists of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, contains: soy.
3) Is Alpha GPC Right for You?
The vegan friendly capsules all have 300 mg of Alpha GPC (L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine, also known as choline alfoscerate). This is a natural choline compound found in the brain and it's better understood than some newer supplements like uridine. Alpha GPC delivers choline to the brain through the blood brain barrier and has potential in treating things like stroke and dementia. In Europe, Alpha GPC is used in some prescription medicines for Alzheimer's disease. It's also found in foods that are high in choline, but there's some evidence to show that Alpha GPC may be superior to many other forms of choline. It's also thought to be more pharmacologically active at higher doses. It is different though, and shouldn't be confused with general choline.
Taking it with food is recommended but not necessary. Storage is the single biggest issue with Alpha GPC. It degrades quickly, especially when you take it every day. Vacuum sealed bags or freezing your Alpha GPC is recommended, especially if you won't use the entire bottle within a month. Minimizing the amount of air you expose Alpha GPC to is essential to keeping it for any extended period of time. If you think you'll take two months to consume everything, store half of the bottle in a separate container (or sealable bag) and put it in your freezer; remove when the other half of your Alpha GPC is gone.
4) Alpha GPC Health Benefits
One of the better dietary supplements for increasing mental function and memory. There's also a growing body of research showing how it's effective as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease and age related cognitive decline. You might have to take 3 to 4 capsules a day if you're over the age of 50 and doing poorly, but the benefits seem undeniable so far.
5) What You Need to Know Before Taking Alpha GPC
When frequently exposed to air, capsules can degrade into a gel-like substance. If you don't consume them within a month, you'll have to store your excess appropriately. Sealed in a bag inside a freezer – a vacuum sealed bag if possible – seems to give the best results.
6) How Much Does Alpha GPC Cost?
The label says to take 1 to 2 capsules a day with food, and bottles have 60 capsules inside. This leads to bottles lasting around 1 to 2 months, depending on how often you take each capsule. If you take 1 capsule a day then this is an average priced supplement. Taking 2 day is a little expensive, but still in the average range, especially if you end up paying a price that's near MSRP.
7) How to Take Alpha GPC
It's thought to increase levels of acetylcholine in the brain. The standard dose is 300 to 600 mg, although some people will want to take up 1200 mg. If you're not sure how much to take, asking your doctor is generally the best course of action to take. An appropriate dose will vary depending on your age, health, and general mental condition. Side effects are rare but can include heartburn, headache, dizziness, lethargy, and confusion.
8) Bottom Line – Does It Really Work?
When you take Alpha GPC for memory and mood, most people seem to have good results. Since no two people have the same biochemistry, your results may vary. For some people this is amazing, and for some people it's just okay. It's also supposed to be a non stimulant, and some people feel increased cognitive stimulation after taking Alpha GPC. In general it looks as though this is a solid product that a lot of people could use for various benefits. It might be especially effective in adults over the age of 50, as they're most at risk for cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease – things Alpha GPC could treat.
Alpha GPC may provide benefits. However, we recommend looking into a product that may be more effective in offering brain health benefits that may meet your specific needs.
One of the Amino Acids [Blend] products we've come to trust the most is HCF® Happy, Calm & Focused. Starting in 2001 and 45 countries worldwide, HCF Science has been dedicated to only the foundational building blocks of life; amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, unlike the conventional high-dose 'all-in-one' or artificially stimulating/inhibiting herbal ingredients found on the market today for promoting calm and focus. Uniquely formulated and using only clinically proven ingredients, HCF works to make your journey towards brain health one you can stick with for the long term.
HCF AminoScience is giving all BrainReference readers a free trial ($1.95 S&H) of HCF® Happy, Calm & Focused. So make sure to check it out!

Common Alpha GPC Questions and Answers
What are the active ingrediens in Alpha GPC?
Alpha GPC includes the following ingredients: Alpha GPC (L-alphaglycerophosphatidylcholine/choline alfoscerate), Silicon dioxide, stearic acid (vegetable source), cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable source) and dicalcium phosphate, Capsule consists of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Suitable for vegetarians/vegans, Contains: Soy.
Does Alpha GPC work?
Almost everyone who takes Alpha GPC has something positive to say about it. Very few reviews online, if you look, are negative. Most people seem to take this for memory and mood. The mood stabilization has the additional effect of reducing insomnia for some. One person reported extreme lethargy and sleepiness after taking this, so if this happens to you, discontinue use of Alpha GPC immediately. As is common with many dietary supplements, people who enjoy the product talk about different levels of effectiveness. Regardless of your current status this seems like a good pick-up that can do a lot to improve your mental health. It might get expensive if you need a high dose, but it could be essential for you.

Time control: 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, then 30 more minutes for the whole game, with 30 seconds added per move from move 1. The order of players that finished with the same number of points was determined by the application of tiebreak rules (no playoff matches). Prize fund: 60,000 euros. First prize 10,500, 2nd prize 8,250, 3rd prize 6,500 euros. Tournament director: Jasna Sakotic. Chief arbiter: Sava Stoisavljevic. Play began each day at 3:30 pm (Round 11 at 1:30 pm).

Hoang Thanh Trang won with 9/11, a full point ahead of Salome Melia (2nd on tiebreak), Lilit Mkrtchian (3rd on tiebreak) and four others (with 8/11). Excluding those that were not already qualified (Stefanova and Anna Muzychuk), the first 14 players (by average rating of opponents for those with 7.5/11) qualified for participation in the Women's World Championship Knockout Tournament (2015) (originally scheduled for October 2014).

Aug-03-13 nescio: <notyetagm: [...] Damn, Gunina should get a special award for playing <FIGHTING CHESS>: no draws after 10 rounds!>
I don't think people who are too stubborn to accept the inevitable should be specially awarded. If she had drawn her 4 losses she could have won the tournament.
Look what happened today.
Mkrtchian-Gunina, position after 66.Bd8
Black will lose h4 but will be able to pick up a2 (66...Nf2+ 67.Ke2 Ne4, and ...Nc3+), with about an equal game. Instead Gunina completely self-destructed: 66...Nc3 67.a3 Ne4 68.Be7+ Kd5 69.axb4 Ke6 70.Bxh4 and she resigned at the 79th.
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: European Individual Women's Championship (2013)
<niemzo: GM Hoang managed to draw and won the tournament! She had a rather cagey position all game, but what do you expect when you play the Tromp(I hate it).>
Congratulations to GM Hoang Thanh Trang, the <2013 EUROPEAN INDIVIDUAL WOMEN'S CHESS CHAMPION>!
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: Damn, Goryachkina was a perfect <4/4> after four rounds, and then went <+0 =5 -2>, not winning a single game(!) in the last seven rounds of the tournament.
European Individual Women's Championship (2013)/Aleksandra Goryachkina
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: Wow, so Gunina lost in round 11, keeping her spotless record intact: she did not play a single draw(!!) in this 11-round tournament:
<+7 =0 -4>
European Individual Women's Championship (2013)/Valentina Gunina
So four women tied for first in the <MOST WINS> category with <7> in the 11-round tournament.
The difference of course was the number of losses:
0 Hoang (no losses!)
2 Kosteniuk
3 Arakhamia-Grant
4 Gunina
Aug-03-13 Nerwal: 1. Hoang Thanh Trang 2. Salome Melia 3. Lilit Mkrtchian. I don't think many people would have predicted this podium at the beginning of the tournament. None of the five top seeds reached 8/11. At least 7 players remained undefeated in this championship after 11 rounds. With +5 and no losses Monika Socko is only 7th...
Great tournament for Kashlinskaya and Arabidze, winning almost 50 points.

Aug-03-13 waustad: Talking about the Gunina result, I would have expected something like that from Cmilyte, but I remember her saying that she'd probably pick up 100 elo if she played a more positional style. Maybe so but pure aggression is fun to watch.
Aug-03-13 waustad: Looking at the group at +4, fro some it was a disappointment and for some it was the best result of their career.
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: <waustad: Looking at the group at <<<+4>>>, for some it was a disappointment and for some it was the best result of their career.>
Was not that disappointing if you qualified for the <2014 FIDE WOMEN'S KNOCKOUT CHAMPIONSHIP> by finishing in the top 14, like Stefanova did by finishing 14th(!).
The 14 qualifiers for the <2014 FIDE WOMEN'S KNOCKOUT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP>:
1	GM	Hoang Thanh Trang
2	IM	Melia Salome
3	IM	Mkrtchian Lilit
4	GM	Cmilyte Viktorija
5	GM	Kosteniuk Alexandra
6	IM	Khotenashvili Bela
7	GM	Socko Monika
8	WGM	Kashlinskaya Alina
9	WGM	Arabidze Meri
10	WGM	Pogonina Natalija
11	WGM	Kovanova Baira
12	GM	Muzychuk Anna
13	WGM	Girya Olga
14	GM	Stefanova Antoaneta
Congratulations to our <WGM POGONINA>, who qualified by being 10th on tiebreak. :-)
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: Sucks to be #15.
WGM Ozturk Kubra failed to qualify for the upcoming Women's Championship because her first tiebreak was two(!!) points lower than #14 Stefanova's (2362 vs 2360).
Aug-03-13
Natalia Pogonina: <notyetagm> Thanks, I have qualified last year. The players who have already earned their spots in the WWCC are not taken into account, so the list of players who have qualified this year is different from the one you have posted. Don't worry, Ozturk Kubra is in, as well as a few more women :)
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: <Natalia Pogonina: <notyetagm> Thanks, I have qualified last year. The players who have already earned their spots in the WWCC are not taken into account, ...>
Thanks for the info. Did not realize that. :-)
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: <WGM POGONINA>
Do you know when the <2013 EUROPEAN INDIVIDUAL WOMEN'S RAPID & BLITZ CHAMPIONSHIP> will be held?? Last year it was held immediately after the classical tournament. I was looking forward to watching it.
cro777: The 2012 Individual European Chess Championship for women was also qualification event for the next World Cup.
Last year the following players qualified: Gunina, T.Kosintseva, A.Muzychuk, Cmylite, Sebag, Stefanova, Lahno, Danielian, Khotenashvili, Pogonina Kosteniuk, Hoang, Khurtsidze and Dzagnidze.
They are not taken in account for the list of players who have qualified this year.
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: <cro777: ... Last year the following players qualified: Gunina, T.Kosintseva, A.Muzychuk, Cmylite, Sebag, Stefanova, Lahno, Danielian, Khotenashvili, Pogonina Kosteniuk, Hoang, Khurtsidze and Dzagnidze.>
Ok, so we strike A.Muzychuk (12), Cmylite (4), Stefanova (14), Khotenashvili (6), Pogonina (10), Kosteniuk (5), and Hoang (1) because they qualified in 2012, and that frees up 7 spots for the 2013 qualifiers:
15	WGM	Ozturk Kubra
16	GM	Cramling Pia
17	IM	Javakhishvili Lela
18	IM	Atalik Ekaterina
19	IM	Milliet Sophie
20	GM	Arakhamia-Grant Ketevan
21	IM	Kovalevskaya Ekaterina
FINAL STANDINGS -> http://chess-results.com/tnr98226.a...
So all the players who finished +4 got in and only one player who finished at +3 made the cut, Kovalevskaya, because she had the best tiebreak score of the +3 finishers.
Of course, since these are my own calculations, they could be completely wrong. :-)
Aug-03-13 notyetagm: And let's not forget the *huge* controversy about IM Atalik's participation, who otherwise qualified.
Aug-04-13 notyetagm: I just noticed that if IM Atalik gets disqualified, then WGM Daulyte will take her place based on the final standings listed here.
http://chess-results.com/tnr98226.a...
Unbelievable!!!!
This brand new article (August 12th!) covers *exactly* what we were discussing in this forum a little over a week ago. It should answer *all* of the questions asked.

WTHarvey: Here's a collection of 80 chess puzzles from the tournament: http://www.scribd.com/doc/161244454...
This upcoming book from the <CHESS INFORMANT> publisher looks really good if you follow women's chess.
http://www.newinchess.com/Chess_Que...
<<<<Official book of the European Women's Chess Championship "Belgrade 2013">>>
There is a double standard in the usual behavior of men when it comes to women's chess. Regarding the quality of the games at women's tournaments, neglect is still a common issue from the point of view of the opposite sex.
At the same time, there is an enormous fear of losing the game when a brave man finds himself at the board across from a lady. In fact, it is all about knowledge. Good players, no matter which sex they are, will always make an impression.
The main difference is that female players do it in a more esthetic way, with a gracious, dancing style of their battlefield pieces. We hear the common complaint from women chess grandmasters many times – "I never beat healthy men.
They always have an excuse as to why it happened." Shamefully, the authors cannot refute this statement from their own tournament experiences. Ladies do sacrifice pieces over the board, right!? Oh yes, they do, and they often do it in a blink of an eye.
There is a collection of annotated chess combinations carried out by women players throughout history in front of the reader. These combinations throw some light on an attractive part of the chess creativity of some of the greatest personalities in chess.
When it is about combinations, it is about the decisive point of every game. It is true that women's chess deserves wider attention, but we are at least now able to open the door a crack.
Inside, special space is dedicated to the Women's World Champions and one non-crowned champion. And there is space for top Serbian players as well, since this book is published to celebrate the European Individual Women's Championship that took place in Belgrade, capital of Serbia, a country with a great chess tradition.
We hope this book will encourage further projects dedicated to the prettiest side of the wonderful game of chess.

I think EuChW in March 2012 was qual. for the Women's World Championship Knockout Tournament (2012) in November? So that only Stefanova (previous WC finalist) and Anna Muzychuk (by rating) was qualified for WC 2014 (or as it turned out, 2015) at he time this was played. Hmm, I could be wrong.
Tabanus: No, EuChW 2012 was qual for WWC 2015 (scheduled for 2014), sorry.


An imprint of a publisher is a trade name under which it publishes a work. A single publishing company may have multiple imprints, often using the different names as brands to market works to various demographic consumer segments.
An imprint of a publisher is a trade name—a name that a business uses for trading commercial products or services—under which a work is published. Imprints typically have a defining character or mission. In some cases, the diversity results from the takeover of smaller publishers (or parts of their business) by a larger company. In the case of Barnes & Noble, imprints have been used to facilitate the venture of a bookseller into publishing.
In the video game industry, some game companies operate various publishing labels with Take-Two Interactive credited as "the father of label" in their case the labels are wholly owned incorporated entities with their own publishing and distributing, sales and marketing infrastructure and management teams and their own respective subsidiaries also incorporated (Rockstar North Limited, 2K Vegas, Inc.). This model have influenced rivals including Activision Blizzard, Zenimax, Electronic Arts from 2008-2018, Warner Bros. Interactive, and Koei Tecmo. Take-Two have had such model in place since 1997-1998, and is seen as a "a game holding company with autonomous game publishing and development subsidiaries" Independently-owned game publishers like Devolver Digital also use the word label to describe itself.
A single publishing company may have multiple imprints, with the different imprints often used by the publisher to market works to different demographic consumer segments. For example, the objective of Viking—an imprint of the Penguin Group—is "[t]o publish a strictly limited list of good nonfiction, such as biography, history and works on contemporary affairs, and distinguished fiction with some claim to permanent importance rather than ephemeral popular interest."

The term Coroner has been in use in England since about the year 1194. Coroner is derived from the term coruner (root word corona, Latin for crown, an officer of the crown, meaning worked for the King). The position of Coroner has evolved over the centuries as a public official responsible for the investigation and certification of the cause, manner, and mechanism of death for cases of sudden, unexpected, or unnatural death.
Much of American law derives from the English system and the office of the Coroner has remained in use in the United States to date. The use of the office of the Coroner varies widely throughout the United States where the office is either an elected or an appointed position. In Cowlitz County, the Office of the Coroner is an elected position.
In the State of Washington, law directs that the investigation of sudden, unexpected, and unnatural deaths take place within the 39 county jurisdictions. The system varies from county to county based on the population size of each county. Counties with a population less than 40,000 the elected prosecutor also serves as the coroner; populations greater than 40,000 have an independent elected coroner; counties with a population greater than 250,000 can adopt the use of an appointed medical examiner.
