Yesterday, the Director of BSP, Kostas Constantenou and his delegation visited the Head of State, His Highness Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi.
"We have come here to asses [the possibilities] and see if we can invest," Mr. Constantenou said.
He talked specifically about the development of hotels and roads in Samoa.
"We want to make sure if we can invest our money here in as part of business, he said. Samoa has a good bond with Papua New Guinea and we want this to be strengthened through various ways."
Mr. Constantenou is also the Director of the Lamana Development Limited.
By Charlina Tone APIA, Samoa (Samoa Observer, Jan. 31, 2011) – In Samoa, a new day for justice and gender equality has begun with the recent appointment of Mata Keli Tuatagaloa as District Court Judge.
The appointment makes the 43-year-old the only female serving in Samoa's male-dominated Judiciary.
Mata has been serving in the legal profession since 1994 after graduating with a Law Degree from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
She served as a law clerk at the Attorney General's office until 1996. She then returned to Australia to complete her professional legal studies at the Australia National University, Canberra.
Prior to that, Ms Tuatagaloa graduated from Waikato University with a Bachelor of Arts.
She then entered into private practice as a partner for Richards Law Firm. She left in 2000.
By Todagia Kelola and Yehiura Hriehwazi PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, Feb. 2, 2011) – Papua New Guinea's Weather Bureau yesterday issued strong wind warnings for waters on the southern Papua New Guinea (PNG)/Indonesia border to Suau Island in the Milne Bay Province as a result of Cyclone Yasi that is likely to hit Cairns at about 1 am tonight.
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, Feb. 2, 2011) – In Papua New Guinea (PNG), ANZ chief executive officer Mike Smith said yesterday that trade between PNG and Asia was at record levels with exports to China increasing seven-fold in the past decade, highlighting the growing connections between Asia and the Pacific.
Mr. Smith highlighted the economic data in Lae as part of a tour of six Pacific countries with ANZ Chief Executive Officer Pacific Michael Rowland.
The trend was replicated across the Pacific, which increased exports to China by 77 percent for the first 11 months in 2010 compared to 2009 and was on track to reach an estimated record of US$1.2 billion more than eight times the amount recorded in 2001.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (RNZI, Feb. 2, 2011) - American Samoa received over US$905 million from the federal government between 2004 and 2009 and shouldn't need to raise taxes.
This is the view of the territory's US congressman, Faleomavaega Eni Hunkin, who doesn't agree with the governor's plans to raise revenues to meet a projected seven million US dollar shortfall.
Togiola Tulafono is proposing higher income taxes, increased duty on some imports and reducing the hours of some government workers.
The congressman says the American Samoa Government's local budget is generously subsidized by the federal government and he doesn't know how the legislature can support the governor's proposal to increase taxes or cut work hours.

The loans should assist the disadvantaged of the community earn a decent livelihood, the statement said. The statement said the loans should boost lending to the resource based sectors and assist in the development of the agricultural sector in the future as well as in economic development.
By Sera Whippy SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, Feb. 3, 2011) – In Fiji, former Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry has had all charges laid against him under the Public Emergency Regulations withdrawn.
SUVA, Fiji (FijiSUN, Feb. 2, 2100) - Cabinet has agreed that the preliminary report on poverty and household incomes in Fiji be the official statistics on poverty and household income.
The report was prepared using the 2008 to 2009 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES).
Cabinet based its decision on a submission by the Prime Minister and Minister for Strategic Planning, National Development and Statistics Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama.
Household income and expenditure surveys are an integral component of statistics being compiled by the Fiji Islands Bureau of Statistics.
TÑA, Guam (Marianas Business Journal, Jan. 31, 2011) – The developer and investors of the private hospital development completed the acquisition of Dededo properties measuring 3.2 hectares, which will become home to the Guam Regional Medical City, according to Peter R. Sgro Jr., president of the Guam Healthcare and Hospital Development Foundation.
Sgro, who is also the president of International Group Inc. and chairman of the Pacific Rim board of directors, said the site is located at the corner of Marine Corps Drive and Route 3, less than one quarter of a mile north of the Micronesia Mall.
Phase 1 of the private hospital development is currently planned for a total of 130 acute care beds, 20 Intensive Care beds, 18 Basinets and 6 Incubators. Phase 1 is currently projected to be completed and open to patients in January 2014.


Teotihuacan and its valley bear unique testimony to the pre-urban structures of ancient Mexico. Human occupation of the valley of Teotihuacan began before the Christian era, but it was only between the 1st and the 7th centuries A.D. that the settlement developed into one of the largest ancient cities in the Americas, with at least 25,000 inhabitants.
The city's urban plan integrated natural elements of the Teotihuacan Valley, such as the San Juan River, whose course was altered to cross the Avenue of the Dead. This north-south oriented main reference axis of the city is lined with monumental buildings and complexes, from which the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, as well as the Great Compound with the Temple of Quetzalcoatl (also known as Temple of the Plumed Serpent) stand out. One characteristic of the city's civil and religious architecture is the "talud-tablero", which became a distinctive feature of this culture. Furthermore, a considerable number of buildings were decorated with wall paintings where elements of worldview and the environment of that time were materialized. The city is considered a model of urbanization and large-scale planning, which greatly influenced the conceptions of contemporary and subsequent cultures.
At the peak of its development the city stretched out over 36 km2. Outside the ceremonial centre, which, despite its imposing size, represents only 10% of the total surface, excavations have revealed palaces and residential quarters that are of great interest at, for example, La Ventilla, Tetitla, Zacuala, and Yayahuala to the west, and Xala and Tepantitla to the east. The city was razed by fire and subsequently abandoned during the 7th century.
Criterion (i): The ceremonial ensemble of Teotihuacan represents a unique artistic achievement as much by the enormous size of the monuments (the Pyramid of the Sun, built on a 350 m² terrace, measures 225 x 222 meters at the base, and is 75 meters high, for a total volume of 1 million m³) as by the strictness of a layout based on cosmic harmony. The art of Teotihuacans was the most developed among the classic civilizations of Mexico. Here it is expressed in its successive and complementary aspects: the dry and obsessive geometry of the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon contrasts with the sculpted and the painted decor of an exceptional richness of the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent.
Criterion (ii): The influence of the first of the great civilizations of Mesoamerican classic civilizations was exerted over the whole of the central region of Mexico, in Yucatán, and as far away as Guatemala (the site of Kaminaljuyu) during the period of Teotihuacan III.
Criterion (iii): Much larger than the narrow zone of the ceremonial center, the archaeological site of Teotihuacan corresponds to a city of at least 25,000 inhabitants. Teotihuacan and its valley bear unique testimony on the pre-urban structures of ancient Mexico.
Criterion (iv): Lining the immense Avenue of the Dead, the unique group of sacred monuments and places of worship in Teotihuacan (the Pyramids of the Sun, the Moon and Quetzalcoatl and the Palaces of Quetzalmariposa, the Jaguars, of Yayahuala and others) constitutes an outstanding example of a pre-Columbian ceremonial center.
Criterion (vi): Following the destruction and abandonment of the city towards 650 A.D., the ruins were imbued with legend. The Aztec name of Teotihuacán means "the place where gods were created". According to writings from the 16th century, the sacrifices practiced by Moctezuma every twenty days on the site attested to the persistence of beliefs, which made Teotihuacan a sacred place of exceptional value.
The Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan fully preserves its monumentality, urban design and artistic wealth, as well as the relationship of the architectural structures with the natural environment, including its setting in the landscape. This is due to the maintenance, conservation and permanent protection the site has received. However, natural factors like rain, wind and solar radiation constantly affect the site and its elements, and are considered to be the most important threat. Not all conservation attempts in the past were successful and some elements of the site were negatively affected by the use of inadequate materials (e.g. concrete and polymers). This highlights the need for conservation guidelines for interventions, as requested by the World Heritage Committee in its 36th session (2012), as well as for plans for preventive conservation and monitoring at the site. A further serious threat is the development pressure around the site that is constantly on the rise.
Located 48 km northeast of Mexico City, Teotihuacan is one the archaeological sites with the longest history of exploration in Mexico. The first surveys date from 1864, and the first excavations from 1884. Certain monuments were restored from 1905 to 1910, such as the Pyramid of the Sun, for which its discoverer Leopoldo Batres arbitrarily reconstituted a fifth tier. Since 1962, archaeological research has been coordinated by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), which, while encouraging spectacular discoveries (Palacio de Quetzalmariposa, the cave under the Pyramid of the Sun), has instigated a more rigorous policy concerning identification and supervision of excavations in the immediate environs of the ceremonial zone.
While some of the earlier reconstruction work, dating from the early years of the last century, is questionable in contemporary terms, it may be considered to have a historicity of its own now. In general terms, it can be said that the condition of authenticity of the expressions of the Outstanding Universal Values of Teotihuacan, which can be found in its urban layout, monuments and art, has been preserved until today.
Teotihuacan is under the custody of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), which is an agency of the National Council for Culture and the Arts (CONACULTA) and the Ministry of Public Education (SEP). The site is legally protected by the Mexican Federal Law on Monuments and Archaeological, Artistic and Historical Zones of 1972. The law establishes public ownership of all archaeological properties, even if these are situated on privately owned lands. The presidential decrees of 1907 and 1964 that declared the Archaeological Monuments Zone at Teotihuacan were superseded by a new decree in 1988, which defined two additional protective zones (B and C) and augmented the protected area to a total of more than 3381 ha.
To be able to extend the site's buffer zone even further, land surrounding the archaeological zone was acquired over the last decade. Recently, important advances were made in the negotiations with more land owners in order to extend the zone.
In coordination with the municipalities of Teotihuacán de Arista and San Martín de las Pirámides a joint municipal Urban Development Plan and Urban Image Regulations were developed and published in 2008 and 2009 respectively. The documents recognize the archaeological site as a driving force of development that needs protection.
In 2004 a process of consultation and integration of existing information was initiated, which culminated in 2009 with the publication of the Management Plan 2010-2015 for the Archaeological Monuments Zone of Teotihuacan. The document defines a management policy and establishes specific goals for the comprehensive protection and conservation of the site and its components. Furthermore, the plan establishes a work outline in terms of research, preservation, diffusion, community involvement and maintenance.
Sustainable implementation of the defined planning tools and the allocation of resources to conservation and management are necessary means to ensure the conservation of the Outstanding Universal Value of the property in the long term.

Bitcoin Derivatives Platform BTC.sx Surpasses $13.5 Million in Trades
BTC.sx predicted the market's need for bitcoin derivatives. The platform now has over 2,000 registered traders.
By Daniel Cawrey
Daniel Cawrey
An Australian bitcoin derivatives platform has seen $13.5m in trades since founder Joe Lee launched it in May, using $150,000 of his personal savings.
BTC.sx
has recently expanded, with chief operating officer George Samman the latest addition to its Sydney team. As an experienced trader, Samman understands derivatives and how bitcoin investors could use BTC.sx to hedge their bets on the volatile electronic currency. Samman told CoinDesk:
"BTC.sx brings the world [its] first bitcoin derivative. This is done in an intuitive FX-style trading platform that enables users to profit from a rising or falling bitcoin price."
FOREX (or FX for short) is an abbreviation of foreign exchange: a 24-hour market that banks and investors use to trade in and out of fiat currency pairs.
"With our service, hedging your bitcoin positions is now possible. Our platform is designed to interface entirely in bitcoin with no need for a USD/fiat balance to enter both long or short positions," said Samman.
Joe Lee, the founder of BTC.sx, has a background in finance, working for institutions including Barclays and Macquarie Bank. Like other investors in the bitcoin economy, it's clear that Lee anticipated the market's need for bitcoin derivatives, and put his money into it. The platform now has over 2,000 registered traders.
Other companies have their sights set on the virtual currency trading market. New York-based Coinsetter has launched its private beta to build a high-speed trading exchange. And Singapore-based itBit has raised $3.5m in venture capital to use NASDAQ's exchange technology to facilitate bitcoin trades.
Samman comments that bitcoin is an excellent investment alternative to both government-backed currencies and the stock market. He explained:
"Electronic currency is definitely the next evolution in the history of money. Bitcoin offers people a diversification out of currencies that are being de-valued by money printing, and a stock market where scandal after scandal doesn't even make the news of the day."
He continues: "What happened in Cyprus is a great example of why bitcoin's future will continue to shine. I mean, would you rather hold the currency of a government that's willing to take it away or devalue it, or one in which market participants decide its value?"
BTC.sx is hoping to expand its operations to offer more derivatives in the future, though Samman did not want to speculate on exactly what the company plans to deliver to investors.

Expose the incitement of children and youth to extremism, hatred and violence.
What does the life of a typical 5 year-old child look like?
Starting kindergarten, learning how to ride a bike, and learning to read.
This is Isa Dare, a 5-year-old British boy. His mother, Grace, was radicalized at a British college and flew to ISIS territory in Syria, taking Isa with her.
In a horrifying moment, Isa does what he's told.
Sadly, Isa's story is not unique. Our new feature film, KiDS, will spotlight stories of children who Islamists have used and abused to incite violence, radicalism and death. The film is currently in production, and we plan to launch in 2017.
But we need your help to make this film a reality!
We are running a crowdfunding campaign to complete production of the film, and every dollar donated is being matched 1:1 by generous matching donors. This means that for every $10 that you donate, we receive $20. $100 becomes $200.
Supporting this campaign, and sharing it with family and friends, will make an incredible difference. Any contribution you can make will go towards spreading our message, and educating the world about the horrors of Islamist indoctrination of children.


Last week, this sad dog, Cesur, lost his human. 79-year-old Mehmet Ilhan passed away peacefully at a hospital in Turkey and his best friend was notably dejected.
When Mehmet's family brought his body home, Cesur would not leave his side.
The day of the funeral, the dog even led the procession all the way to where Mehmet's grave was located.
"Nobody could touch him until my father was taken to the grave and was buried," Mehmet's son, Ali, said.
Ali brought the dog home, but for the last five days since the funeral, Cesur continued returning to his owner's grave.

Draft legislation seeks to update federal data privacy law to cover both education institutions and third parties.
A proposed amendment to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) would expand parental rights, set record handling guidelines for third parties and education institutions, and establish penalties for failing to follow the guidelines.
Several dozen organizations received a draft copy of the proposal on Monday, April 6, from two congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Education and the Workforce. Bobby Scott (D-Virginia) and John Kline (R-Minnesota) asked groups including the Data Quality Campaign to share the draft with their networks and provide feedback on it.
As staff members at the Data Quality Campaign analyze the draft, they're looking for at least three things: Strong baseline protection for student information, clear-cut guidance for education administrators and an acknowledgement of the need for data training. They're also considering how this proposed legislation compares to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and draft legislation from Reps. Jared Polis (D-Colorado) and Luke Messer (R-Indiana) that circulated in March.
"With our increasing reliance on technology and information to more personalize learning in the classroom for students, there are new policies and laws that we need to take a look at," said Paige Kowalski, vice president of policy and advocacy at the campaign. "But we need to get it right because we don't want to unnecessarily limit the potential of those same tools."
In taking a closer look at this 35-page draft, which affects both K-12 and higher education institutions, it clearly spells out the responsibilities of education institutions and agencies to give parents access to their students' educational records when requested. This parental access applies to both local and state education agencies. Education institutions can decide how quickly they will respond to these requests, but can't take more than 30 days to fulfill them.
Through a hearing, education institutions also must allow parents to challenge and correct records, and add an explanatory note if applicable. And they need parental consent to release records to third parties that contain personally identifiable information other than directory information such as names.
The legislation also included a long list of specific exceptions to the parental consent rule, including for relevant education processes, legal investigations and emergencies. Notably, an education service provider qualifies for an exception as long as they comply with the security practices, written agreement and access requirements outlined in the bill.
The draft proposal requires education agencies to establish security practices that protect student records and personally identifiable information. In turn, they have to hold third parties to at least the same information security standards.
Along with strong security practices, the legislation would require education agencies to enter into a written agreement with a third party before sharing any information, and specify what that information is and how it will be transferred. This agreement would prohibit third parties from sharing information with others except for approved subcontractors mentioned in the agreement and federal law compliance. And it would also guarantee the security of that information and establish penalties for security breaches.
The third component of sharing data with third parties is providing access to appropriate people. That includes keeping the same or better privacy protections in place as educational institutions have, establishing a process to challenge records and maintaining records of access requests.
If third parties break any of these requirements, then the education agency would not be allowed to transfer personally identifiable information to them for at least 12 years. Likewise, both third parties and education agencies face fines of $2,000 per student up to a maximum of $500,000 for violations, and federal funding for guilty schools could be cut.
As education leaders look at this draft legislation, it's important to search for four different things, Kowalski said.
1. Increased protections for student data. By identifying these increased protections, administrators will be able to communicate to parents how they're safeguarding student data. This proposal includes a number of situations where schools need to notify parents of what data they're sharing, who has access to their data and what their rights are under this amendment. They also need to give parents time to opt out of information sharing, including the sharing of directory information.
2. Additional burdens or responsibilities the bill places on school administrators. For example, education agencies would be required to designate an official to handle education record security, and would also need to keep a record of who has access to students' records and why they're interested in them.
3. Limits on the ability to use tools and resources schools need to provide a quality education to students.
4. Compatibility with existing state privacy laws.
What would you add or take away from this draft?

'Parasite' wins top gong for South Korea's Bong
Crowd-and-critic-pleasing auteur Bong Joon-ho lifts Korea's first-ever top prize at Cannes Film Festival
by Andrew Salmon May 27, 2019 February 18, 2020

Bong Joon-ho became the first South Korean director to walk away with the biggest prize at the Cannes Film Festival for Parasite, a tragi-comedy of the deepest black which explores the gap between haves and have nots.
"It's the 100th anniversary of cinema in Korea this year," Bong told the Cannes crowd on Saturday as he hefted the Palme d'Or. "I think that Cannes has given Korean cinema a great gift."
Master genre-bender
The win – reportedly a unanimous decision by the Cannes jury – garnered an eight-minute standing ovation, and praise from none other than South Korean President Moon Jae-in. "The status of hallyu culture has risen one step higher," Moon tweeted. "It is a very honorable event and [I] am profusely delighted with the award win, as are so many Koreans who love our movies."
While carefully-choreographed K-pop bands and syrupy K-dramas have proved the most popular elements of hallyu – the "Korean wave" of pop culture that has pounded Asian shores for two decades and is currently sinking deep footholds into Western markets – films have garnered the most critical kudos overseas.
Bong is a rare beast in the Korean (and global) film world: He is adored by critics for his technical craft and for his riffs on social issues, but is equally loved by audiences for works that include enough wit and bite to suck crowds into multiplexes, while trampling over genre classification.
His victory in Cannes places him – in terms of film-fest trophies, at least – over other Korean master directors. Park Chan-wook's brutal noir thriller Old Boy (2003) won a chest-full of awards, including Canne's Grand Prix, while Kim Ki-duk is a darling of film festivals, though some critics have professed distaste for the sadistic violence at the heart of so many of his works.
Parasite is classic Bong at the top of his genre-bending game. It is about two poverty-struck siblings who worm their way into a rich household, but while it includes laugh-out-loud moments, at its heart, it resounds with the battle cry of class warfare.
Monster eels, giant pigs and serial killers
Even prior to his big win in Cannes, Bong's mastery of his craft had won him international projects.
He helmed the dystopian sci-fi epic Snow Piercer (2013), which generated controversy when Harvey Weinstein sought to edit it down to more of a straight actioner than Bong, who had spiced the film with generous dashings of class commentary, had intended. That editorial intervention drew rebukes from the movie's villainous lead, British thespian Tilda Swinton, who argued forcefully for Bong's version. Swinton also appeared as a villain in Bong's Okja (2017), a Netflix fantasy about a girl and a giant pig.
At home, Bong had first shot to fame with 2003's Memories of Murder, seen as one of the earliest of Korea's new wave movies. A thriller that, at face value, covered a police investigation into a serial murder, the gorgeously shot flick was also a harsh critique of the practices of the country's authoritarian past.
However, perhaps his most famous film domestically is The Host (2006) about a man-eating, mutant monster eel that appears in Seoul's Han River and wreaks havoc as it feasts on citizens in riverside parks. The Host is no Godzilla. Though the film succeeds as a straight horror movie, it is also a social comedy exploring dysfunctional family dynamics and a comment on power politics. (The beast is created as a result of the US Army in Korea dumping chemicals into the river.)
"Bong has his own style, which is Korean society – though a bit twisted – and his sense of humor, which is unique," Seoul-based independent film-maker Song Eun-joo told Asia Times. "In my experience, [film] investors' power is very big, but he has his own style which he never gives up on. Everyone in the industry is jealous of him!"

In February 2019, Cincinnati Public Schools Superintendent Laura Mitchell recommended to the Board of Education to move the current James N. Gamble Montessori High School to former Mercy High School.
A full renovation is under way on the former Mercy campus, beginning with demolition of old mechanical, plumbing and electrical equipment. The school's main 124,000-square-foot building was built in 1922, with several additions constructed over the years.
When completed, the school will have new heating, cooling and ventilation systems; new electrical wiring; new windows; new restrooms; new kitchen and lunchroom; new fire alarm system; new public-address system; new security system; and architectural improvements. Gamble Montessori will also be piloting the new district standard for technology, including sound enhancements and fast internet speeds.
In addition, Gamble will be gaining high-school sized sports facilities, including a gymnasium.
In summer 2018, Cincinnati Public Schools purchased the former Mother of Mercy High School building and its 13.71-acre campus in Westwood, envisioning opening a school with an innovative program to serve Cincinnati's west side.
The school is set to open for the 2019-20 school year. Engagement with the community, facilitated by Xavier University, was initially held in Fall 2018 and is ongoing.
To meet increased demand for Montessori junior high and high school classrooms, CPS planned a second Montessori high school program. In fall of 2005, our program began with two 7th grade classes in the basement of Dater Montessori in Westwood, and was planned to expand by one grade level each subsequent year until the program was a full 7-12 school.
In January of 2011, the our school's Local School Decision-Making Committee voted to reflect the heritage of the school's planned permanent home in Westwood by renaming the school James N. Gamble Montessori High School. James N. Gamble was a Westwood native and renowned businessman, inventor and philanthropist.
Gamble's first graduating class was the Class of 2011.
Below you'll find updates on the development of the West Side Campus.

Okra or "lady's finger" is an annual vegetable that grows in warm, tropical and subtropical regions. It is valued for its edible green seed pods and its nutritional profile which is said to be beneficial for our overall health.
This plant is low in calories and rich in nutrients. Okra is a great source of fiber, vitamin A, C, and folate. It is also rich in vitamin K, B vitamins, iron, potassium, zinc, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It is one of those vegetables that are rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants such as lutein, xanthin, beta-carotene.
Okra prevents anemia by helping in the production of red blood cells. What is more, by being an excellent source of antioxidants, okra can boost the immune system, protect your body from free radicals, and prevent mutation of cells.
This means that okra has anti cancer properties. Due to its rich content of vitamin C and antioxidants, okra can effectively reduce asthmatic attacks. Furthermore, okra contains folate that can build strong bones and prevent osteoporosis as well.
The soluble fiber found in okra can lower serum cholesterol which in turn reduces atherosclerosis and the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, thanks to its rich content of fiber and mucilaginous and its natural laxative properties, okra pods help increase bulk, bind to toxins and ensure easy bowel movements.
By regularly consuming okra, you will be able to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Okra also possesses insulin-like properties that can reduce blood sugar level. It is recommended to eat 6-8 young, raw okra on a daily basis. This way blood sugar level will be significantly lowered.
Due to its high content of vitamin C and antioxidants, okra is a great immune booster and can prevent numerous health issues including cold and cough.
Take 3-4 pieces of raw okra. Make a slit in order to expose the insides and cut the okra into two pieces. Then, submerge them into a glass of water and let it stand overnight at room temperature. The following morning, drink the water. Within 2-4 weeks, you will notice that your blood sugar levels are significantly lowered.
Always choose the small size okra instead of the big ones. Use it when it's tender, as it gets very fibrous when it's older. Avoid soft ones and the ones that don't look fresh. It is also very important to buy organic .
If not, make sure to soak them in water with sea salt and apple cider vinegar for 10 minutes, then rinse well. Cut off the tops and cut them into smaller pieces of 2-3 inches. To reduce the mucilage and the "green taste", you should steam or quickly stir-fry.
You can add it to your salad or consume it on its own.It is not recommended for those who have a history of kidney stones.


The power of swimming to aid a range of medical conditions.
On 4th April 2019 the swimming sector released the next chapter in the #LoveSwimming campaign focusing on the physical health benefits of swimming and the positive impact of 'prescribing' swimming to aid a range of medical conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, Arthritis and chronic pain.
Evidence shows that one in four patients would be more active if advised by a health professional, yet nearly three quarters of GPs do not speak about the benefits of physical activity to patients (Source: Moving Medicine).
The current Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has called for a "culture shift" and for medical professionals to act on the evidence that activity, such as swimming can cut the risk of illness and boost survival from major diseases.
To showcase the physical benefits and the impact of prescribing swimming, the campaign features three inspiring films which share the stories of individuals who have experienced phenomenal physical health benefits as a result of being prescribed swimming.

Top Free MMORPG 2018 List
Everquest Next: Landmark Review
September 4, 2014ReviewsChristopher Steele
A lot of us enjoy those types of games in which we can just create our own experience by designing everything from scratch. Minecraft had a great success in providing us with such a thing, and now with Landmark we have the opportunity to take things to the next level.
Now in closed beta, Landmark is offering us countless possibilities to claim and design your own place according to your own imagination. The game world is persistent which means that once you claim a piece of land it will be yours as long as you pay the daily upkeep.
Landmark Review
Beginning of the game
There isn't any story in Landmark, as the game has been created as a building tool for the upcoming Everquest Next title. It was even called Everquest Next Landmark until the closed beta period.
Once you start Landmark you will have the opportunity to create your own character. I have to say that the character creation process is a little scarce, as you can't modify that many things in regards to the way your character looks. It's good enough for the normal MMO player, but if you want in-depth character customization you won't find that here, as you can change only the face, skin tone, hair as well as hair/eye color.
You can choose to play on one of the multiple servers and the interesting thing here is that even if you are playing on a certain world, you can go to the central point on the map and teleport to other worlds on the spot. Not that many MMOs come with such a feature, and in the case of Landmark this does a lot of good because you can manage your claims a lot easier, even if you spread them on multiple servers.
Once you are logged in a certain world, you can start exploring it. It's recommended though that before you do that you get some items from the Portal Spire. Here you can find the Outfitter Table, Alchemist station and some other tables that can provide you with some of the items you need in your exploration. It's also important to equip yourself with a weapon.
Yes, even if Landmark was designed as a building game at first, now you can engage in PVP. The weapons can be acquired from the Stone Forge free of charge, which is really nice. In order to craft most of the items available in the Spire area you will need lots of materials that can be gotten through mining.
However, you can't go far into the world of Landmark without claiming your own section of land. The whole claiming mechanic is cleverly designed because you need to craft a claim flag in the Spire and then place it anywhere you see fit in the game world. However, the interesting thing here is that you can also claim adjacent pieces of land and create massive buildings according to your own will. You can build anything you want in your own claimed area, but for that you need lots of materials. Yes, a lot of them.
Mining and gameplay
I found the mining section of Landmark to be one of the fun things to do in the game. There are lots of materials scattered all throughout the land and trying to get the ones you need is really important. Once you claim an area you can use the gathered materials to craft your own tables, which diminishes the amount of traveling you need to do.
Moreover, you have a wide range of biomes in Landmark, most of them included within the same map, so it's really fun to explore all regions. You can explore deserts, forests and some maps even have areas covered with snow which in my eyes expands the experience and makes it much more complete.
Gameplay-wise, Landmark is very engaging, because you always feel the need to explore more in order to find areas that might contain the items you need. There are lots of material types to be acquired, from copper to ore, wood, precious minerals, plants, gold and so on.
I found the inventory system to be really good, as you are restricted to a certain weight so you can't carry anything you find. You can easily delete the items you don't want which immediately makes room in your inventory. Additionally, browsing through the materials you gathered is very easy.
Combat, specifically PVP has been added recently to the game and it really shines. For the moment you can engage in 3 types of PVP matches, which can be either team deathmatch (which are by far the most fun), zone control or the simple deathmatch. For the moment there are only 3 weapon types which you can get for free from the Spire, and these are the sword, bow or wand. All of these are basic and most probably will be replaced with better weapons, but they are fun to use in combat, although it does take some time to get accustomed to the shooting mechanics which are variable for each item. All three have a basic attack which you can start with the left click and a power attack accessible with the right click. I have no doubt that the combat mechanics will improve in the future, especially since the developers want to add PVE as well as improve the PVP.
Graphics and music
Graphically, Landmark isn't the prettiest MMO you are going to play, but the voxel graphics do provide a stunning place to visit. The various landscapes provide you with lots of opportunities, and all of them are carefully designed. The animations in the game are very good, despite the title being in beta. Jumping, sliding or climbing is very nice to perform and visually impressive. Characters are also quite detailed, which I really like, and overall the game does look great from a visual standpoint.
Music in Landmark is really cute, as it is mainly comprised of background songs that do provide a soothing g atmosphere. Aside from that and the sounds made by weapons/pickaxes you can't really hear that much in the game. This is not a problem though, because most that play Landmark want a relaxing building experience, and they are definitely getting it here.
As you can see, Landmark is quite an impressive game with tons of potential. The title certainly came a long way from its alpha phase and now, with the addition of PVP, death, combat mode UI, proximity mines and some other interesting stuff the title is shaping up to become a very appealing title. Yes, it might have a very long way to go, but on the other hand the title is more than playable even in this phase. We like the fact that you can choose to be a part of the PVP experience or ignore it totally, it's up to you. This basically means that you can create your own experience and play the game at your own pace, which is literally what people do want from a building MMO.
In the end, the game does come with its fair share of problems, such as frequent crashes (it crashed literally every 30 minutes in my gameplay sessions), some missing textures and a camera that just goes wild especially when you are mining. Despite that, I found the whole Landmark experience to be enjoyable and quite rewarding. You can build anything you want, how you want it, without any restrictions. Yes, you do need to gather a huge amount of resources and engage in exploration, but in the end this is what makes the game experience worthwhile. I had a lot of fun playing the game and I certainly recommend it to anyone that wants a great MMO where building is the key factor.

Everquest Next: Landmark Review (Alpha Version)
By Christopher Steele
Everquest Next is an ambitious project that seeks to revolutionize the way MMORPGs are played. Offering the players a completely destructible world, EQN: Landmark is an open world Sandbox MMORPG. Everything you could imagine is 3D in this game, even the map! Landmark allows you to be able to help the dev team create the buildings and towns that will be in the EQNext game itself.
Very customizable game + Anything can be built or destroyed + Deep ground layer to mine or dig down with + 3D map makes things easy to see heights + Many resources to choose from when building + multiple design tools + can climb almost every landmark + several ways to create or exterminate with other players + May interior design options with over 2500 items to place indoors
+ Amazing coastal claim lots with plenty of room to grow and enjoy the coast + An exciting future is planned for the game
Low Player Base – Limited build locations per island – land can be ripped apart around claims leaving a mess for about 5 days – Some worlds lag more than others
Upon character creation you have a few options to customize you character with. There are a few different options for face/hair and body choices.
There are several outfits that you can craft and buy from others or NPC's as well as some you start with as you progress some into the gameworld. Founders start with 1-3 outfits depending on which founder pack they own.
Build Anything
In Landmark you can build anything you can imagine! With a set of state of the art tools, you have unprecedented controls over your creations. There's a massive collection of materials, each with their own unique look, with realistic physics meaning how you build will influence what you build.
From tents to skyscrapers and realistic landmarks, such as the Eifel Tower or Coliseums of Rome, you can build anything you can imagine. After the project of yours is finished in the block format, it will become voxel based and smooth out making it look very realistic in design.
Landmark offers a massive world with many islands that are planned to be automatically generated as content is demanded by the player base. You can explore anywhere you desire, even other player's claims if they allow it. You can also lay claim to your own section of land using the claim flags that you get as you progress.
As you explore, you'll gather many materials that can be used to create crafting stations and much more. See what other players have built, or even help them build, and you can even build an empire with your friends.
Claims will eventually have the option to expand and create even bigger projects with unique appearances even preset buildings purchased from other players. This will give players a massive zone to build on and earn real cash by selling their projects to other players using the Player Studio.
Landmark is your chance to help build a game in all literacy of the phrase. You can build alone or in groups to create your own Landmarks such as pyramids or even massive statues of yourself.
Join massive construction contests and your creations could last forever. The best buildings players create will become permanent fixtures in the EverQuest Next world. Landmark is definitely for the creative crowd!
Collect and Conquer
From the rarest resources, objects, gear, and secrets, all scattered across the worlds of Landmark, can you find everything? With a unique collection system, worry not about the amount of weight you're carrying. The materials have no weight and you can collect 99,999 of almost every raw material.
Objects can be used to change the look of the rooms you make inside buildings. Adding rugs or furniture help create a realistic feel to the home of your dreams. Perhaps you'd rather just make a never-ending winding staircase instead.
Player Studio
One of the most unique features of Landmark is that you can actually buy other players' work if you choose to instead of building your own. Players can also earn real cash by selling their projects and claims to other players at will. The only thing you need to succeed is creativity and designing skills! All buildings and claims can be blueprinted and sold, or bought, by or from other players using the Player Studio offered by SOE.
Landmark is a separate game but is used in the creation of the EverQuest Next game. As time progresses and more creative players help design the game world's structures the EQN project grows closer to playable status, Landmark is the building game for EQN and offers a variety of playstyles from PvP to humble builder, and in the future PvE content will exist as well.
EQN Landmark is a great way to show off your skills in arctitecture, or how badly you can destroy the world around other players by mining it so it's impassible. Eventually the landscape does return to normal if there's no claim on it, so someone's dirty work isn't permanent.
There is a great amount of customization and resources to create your own unique look that no other player can match unless you sell the blueprint. While in Landmark I felt like I was playing in an abandoned world, as the player base is spread out during this stage of development.
The locations and game world itself is very beautiful and you can even change servers at any time you decide without losing your claim on other servers or having to remake your character. This is currently the only way to travel between the island worlds. However, there was word about them eventually trying to connect them into a massive world during the early stage of Alpha, but nothing has been said on this since.
About Christopher Steele
I've been pursuing any form of gaming career that I can for the 15 years I've been playing online games. Although I'm only 22, I have a large history of games I've played and tested/reviewed. Many of those being big titles like Guild Wars 2, Perfect World International, World of Warcraft, Lineage II, and The Secret World. I used to write reviews for Cobault Gaming back in 2010. I'm also in college for a degree in Game Design so I can one day create my own big titles like those I've grown to enjoy.
Bryde
There are so many flaws in your review mate. I like the general tone of it, but there are so many false or outdated information. I think I could nitpick your review a bit more, but here are a few of the errors I came across.
"Everquest Next: Landmark or just "Landmark" for short"
Outdated game title, It is called "Landmark The Game"
"Upon character creation you have many options to customize you character with."
Not at all, but it will come.
"Few coastal locations allowed for building"
How do you figure? I have no idea how you came to that conclusion, I have 15 claims near the water and could easily find room for a couple of hundred more.
" land can be ripped apart around claims leaving eyesores for a long time"
Long time? Unless someone makes it their personal assignment to ruin the natural terrain around your claim, this is really not a problem at all.
"Players must build every tool"
This is no longer true, once you put up your claim you get all available tools.
"Limited objects to design your home with"
When did you last log in? There has literally been made a shitload of props available by now, so unless you base this review on alpha experience, I disagree.
"Landmark offers a massive world with many islands that are automatically generated as content is demanded by the player base."
There is a fixed amount of Islands that is not affected by the player base.
"You can wage war on other guilds and destroy their work or conquer it for your own guild. Think of a guild battle in much more chaos. You can build and destroy the works of your own guild and others."
You can? Not to my awareness.
"and you can collect 99,999 of every material."
Depends on the material
" Landmark is the building game for EQN so don't expect too much other than building and mining deep into the land for rare resources."
Simply not true. PVE Monsters coming to Landmark soon and PVP has been implemented recently.
"There will eventually be travel between these "islands" by boat as water has been added around all of the islands creating an oceanic view of the distance."
There will? Never heard that before!
Seems like your review was made in alpha, would have rung true (for the most parts) at that time.
topmmorpgs
This is the editor. Hmm, yes I believe this was during alpha but the review was late because it got lost in my email. I have changed the review to make that clearer.
Landmark – the url is landmarkthegame but in all of their press releases and website content it is referred to only as Landmark.
I will get in touch with the reviewer to ask about the other errors you cited.
Best to scrap it and start again, even if it was written during alpha it's still poor.
I'm left wondering if the author has played the game at all, and frankly amazed at how poor their general gaming knowledge is.
Add to that how badly written and presented the article is and I'm astonished it was ever published.
I already tried to contact another person to do a review. Interested?
Unfortunately I am engaged elsewhere.
Good luck in your search.
This was an alpha based review. I have given some revised responses to that and offered to remake it with more up to date information.
There has been a lot that has changed since this was written.
The game is not that impressive honestly. Ask a Trail Blazer who paid 100.00 dollars to have alpha access get the cool items to only have them changed 3 times by the internal development.
They should have not offered these items or promises. They have scraped the crafting system 3 times. They sold us on the idea it would be for everyone crafter, explorer, adventure etc. They should have warned players and would be buyers that this was going to be heavily tested content and things would be removed or changed for the purpose of Ever Quest Next.
Brydes comments are unfair as numerous people were having crashing issues. The game needed several optimizations before it finally got stabilized.
Bryde is also one of the dev team favorites as he is highly skilled using the building tools.
The game has gone thru 3 radical changes since its release and the upcoming update has driven a lot of player crafters away as there is not much to craft anymore.
Also the design is now forcing players to build soon as they enter the game as they created tutorials into the achievement system for this.
I played since alpha and not looking to the radical crafting and harvesting changes this next update.
This article was a fair review of the game from an alpha to closed beta stand point.
Bryde should be willing to accept the truth but those in the development inner circle seem to hate or despise critical reviews of the games state or will quickly shut down a player who has a critical review of a system or change to the games development.

Opening your Outlook calendar on Monday morning is sometimes frustrating. You see a lot of meetings scattered throughout your week and you are wondering when you will get your real work done. So how to make sure that meetings won't kill your productivity - especially if you have only gaps of 30 minutes or an hour in between?
So first reflect on what you normally do while having those breaks: Do you check and answer emails, make a few quick calls, grab a coffee or go through papers you already had once in hand?
There's nothing wrong about all this. Of course not. But if you consider having for example three meetings a day with a gap of 30 minutes each then you spend already 1.5 hours without making any progress on important tasks. Probably with the result that you have to work long hours to catch up. And if you even take a long term-perspective - for example over three months or half a year – summing up the time "lost in between" you see that this can easily backfire on your productivity.
1. Start the week with forecasting what you really need to accomplish. Make a classification of your major and minor tasks.
2. Identify the gaps in your schedule and determine what you want to accomplish during each gap. This can vary from complex tasks to easy quick tasks like handling emails, doing travel planning or preparing your note of expenses.
3. Focus on your top tasks especially if you have only short times between meetings to work. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that you can't work on more complex tasks during a shorter period of times.
4. Drop the perfection. Stay focused to make a good job and to get things done. Learn from your past experiences to optimize your time and to assign deadlines to each task.
5. Hold yourself accountable for achieving your major tasks by looking back on your planning at the end of the week and note which tasks you've accomplished.

1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
The fiery river of Hades in Greek mythology, mentioned in Plato's "Phæ do," 113a , which figures also in Jewish eschatology. In the Sibyllines, 1:301 (also in Enoch, 17:6), the souls of the dead traverse Acheron to enter the realms of bliss. In the Book of Adam and Eve (Apocalypsis Mosis, ed. Tischendorf, p. 37) one of the six-winged seraphim takes the body of the dead Adam, casts it into the Acherusian Lake, and washes it in the presence of God, who, after three hours, raises it and hands it over to Michael the archangel, to take it into the third heaven.
Sacrificial Mouse (see Achbor ).
(From "Quart. Statement," Pal. Expl. Fund.)
In the Christian Apocalypse of Paul (written after some Jewish model), Paul is shown a river with waters white as milk, and told that it is the Acherusian Lake (the Syrian version has changed it into the Sea of the Eucharist), within which there was the city of God. Into this lake those who repent of their sins are cast by Michael the archangel, after which they are brought by him into the city of God, where the righteous dwell (see Apoc. Paul, ed. Tischendorf, 3:22). The Acherusian Lake is probably the same as the nehar di-nur , the river of fire (Enoch, 17:5), in which the souls must bathe, according to Jellinek's "B. H." 3:31,139,5:183, to receive their baptism of purification before entering paradise, but at times they bathe in streams of balsam ("B. H." 2:29).

Musician JD Malone Launches "Do What You Can Do" Campaign
Sep 17, 2011 activism, JD Malone, Jtmp, jtmp.org, Justice Through Music, music
Musician JD Malone seeks to lift people up, and make them feel better about their situation, and to urge people do "Do What You Can Do" to change your life and others. On the website it says:
"Do What You Can Do is a project headed by musician JD Malone that carries a potent message that enables the average person to change their lives by doing what they can do to make a difference in other people's lives and in so doing, change their own.
How do we address the fallen spirit of people who just don't feel connected – who don't think their voice can even be heard?
Resolving this problem is what's at the core of the Do What You Can Do Project.
Getting people to feel better about themselves in today's economy where people are losing their homes, their jobs, and wondering why America has become a little less than it used to be is a daunting task. The way to change America is to change the mindset of the people – one person at a time. People need to know that they can make a difference by becoming a part of a unified community consciousness that enables them to reconstitute a better America."

Swift police work led them to the arrest of one man in connection to a robbery that took place last night. Nineteen year old William Tuyub, a cashier of San Estevan Street in Orange Walk Town, reported to authorities that about nine fifteen last night he was at his job at RW Electronics located at the corner of Cinderella and Fonseca Streets in Orange Walk when a male person, who had his face covered with a blue rag, entered the building armed with a knife. The individual reportedly pointed it at the complainant and demanded money.
He made off with three hundred dollars in different denominations. Police investigations led them to the arrest of twenty-two year old Carl Westby of San Pedro Street in Orange Walk Town. Westby was charged for the crime of robbery and was arraigned today. He has been remanded into custody until his next court date.

Heavy Blog Guest List – Cinder Well
Download a Free Porcupine Live Track From Octane Twisted
For fans of intense progressive rock and metal, the news that Porcupine Tree were taking a break for the foreseeable future was a bit of a disappointment. Admittedly, Steven Wilson's solo outings are just as phenomenal as his albums with Porcupine Tree, but there's just a certain magic that comes from an album that's performed, and written by a full band. Even if the overall writing is attributed to one member, it's nice to see those familiar face behind the instruments.
Luckily for all of the Porcupine Tree fans, we will soon get to see just that, very soon, as the band are preparing to release a new live double CD album, Octane Twisted. While I'm sure this release won't satiate everyone looking for new PT, it should be enough to tide over many of us, myself included. Octane Twisted features a live recording of Porcupine Tree's latest studio effort, The Incident, performed in its entirety at the Royal Albert Hall in Chicago on two separate discs, with a special edition also featuring video of the performance.
For those wondering if this release will be up to par, or for those simply looking to expand their catalog of live Porcupine Tree songs, you can download the song 'I Drive the Hearse' here. All you gotta do is give up your email, and it's yours.
Full details regarding Octane Twisted, as well as the option to pre-order, can be found at Burning Shed. Porcupine Tree's Octane Twisted is out November 19th.
