Day 1: Longyearbyen, Svalbard
Day 2: Embarkation in Longyearbyen
Day 3-4: Across the Barents Sea
Day 5-12: Exploration of Franz Josef Land
Day 13-14: Along the coasts of Svalbard
Day 15: West Spitsbergen
Day 16: Disembarkation in Longyearbyen, Svalbard
Longyearbyen, Svalbard
Welcome to Longyearbyen, the Arctic adventure capital of the Norwegian territory of Svalbard and starting point of our expedition. After arriving via scheduled commercial flight, you are free to explore this small but fascinating settlement. Be sure to see the excellent Svalbard Museum and enjoy the shops, cafes and restaurants in the town center. Your hotel for the night has been arranged by us and is included in the price of the voyage.
Embarkation in Longyearbyen
In the afternoon we welcome you aboard the expedition ship M/V Sea Spirit; transfers from the hotel are included. Explore the ship and get comfortable in your home-away-from-home for the extraordinary adventure to come. The long days of summer sunlight illuminate our surroundings as we slip our moorings and sail into a true wilderness where wildlife abounds. The scenery as we sail through Isfjorden on our first evening is spectacular and there is already the possibility of marine mammal encounters.
Across the Barents Sea
From Isfjorden we proceed straight to Franz Josef Land across the Barents Sea. Presentations and workshops by our expert staff prepare us for what lies ahead.
Along the way, we'll remain vigilant for sightings of marine mammals such as the elusive bowhead whale, various Arctic seal species, and the majestic polar bear.
Exploration of Franz Josef Land
This is expedition cruising at its most authentic. As such, our route and exploration opportunities in Franz Josef Land are heavily dependent on weather and sea ice. Our experienced captain and expedition leader decide our best route and continually adjust plans as opportunities warrant in this wild and remote corner of the Arctic.
Between obligatory initial and final calls at the Russian polar station Nagurskoye in wildlife-rich Cambridge Bay, we are free to explore the many waterways and islands of this unique Arctic wilderness.
The archipelago, part of the Russian Arctic National Park since 2012, is a nature sanctuary. Polar bears and other quintessential High Arctic wildlife—such as walruses and some rare whale species—can be spotted anytime, anywhere in and around Franz Josef Land. Scree slopes and cliffs around the islands host enormous nesting colonies of migratory seabirds such as guillemots, dovekies, and ivory gulls. We'll take advantage of the 24-hour daylight to exploit every opportunity for wildlife viewing.
Franz Josef Land is also home to some interesting geological features, such as the mysterious stone spheres on Champ Island. Collectors of geographical extremes may take note that Cape Fligely on Rudolf Island is the northernmost point of land in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Franz Josef Land also offers visitors the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of famous polar explorers at well-preserved historical sites. The journals of explorers such as Julius von Payer, Benjamin Leigh Smith, Frederick George Jackson, and Fridtjof Nansen come alive at Cape Norway, Cape Flora, Eira Harbour, and Cape Tegetthoff. Memorials, monuments, crosses and the remains of dwellings are testimony to incredible historical events that are further illuminated by our expert lecturers.
Tikhaya Bukhta is currently a Russian Arctic National Park ranger station occupying Soviet-era research buildings and was also a major base for polar expeditions. Nearby the fascinating columnar basalt cliffs of Rubini Rock are home to thousands of nesting seabirds.
Along the coasts of Svalbard
Following our week of exploration in Franz Josef Land, we cross back through the bountiful waters of the Barents Sea and then along the coastal islands of the Svalbard Archipelago. From panoramic open decks, enjoy Arctic landscapes and wildlife sightings. Coasts and inshore and offshore waters are home to seals, walrus, polar bears, and a variety of whales.
The crossing also gives our expedition team the opportunity to offer a final presentation or two in the Oceanus Lounge. Weather and timing permit, we'll launch our Zodiacs to have a closer look at at wildlife as we head back to Longyearbyen.
West Spitsbergen
After a technical stop in Longyearbyen, we explore the spectacular fjords and coasts in the western part of Svalbard. This area contains some of the archipelago's most impressive scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities abound.
Deep fjords and narrow channels are flanked by jagged snowy mountain peaks. Fields of flowering tundra are home to grazing reindeer and Arctic fox, always on the hunt. The whole area is alive with migratory birds, including some rare species, taking advantage of summer's fecundity in 24-hour daylight.
Among the historic sights, there are remnants of whaling camps, coal-mining operations, trappers' cabins, staging areas for historic attempts to discover the North Pole, and the ruins of a WWII weather station.
Disembarkation in Longyearbyen, Svalbard
After breakfast we say farewell in the town of Longyearbyen, where we started our expedition. We provide a transfer to the airport, or to the town center if you plan to spend more time here. As you look back on your wonderful experience, you may already be looking forward to your next incredible adventure to the ice!

New Zealand gets new geological map
New Zealand: GNS Science and Waikato University prepared and released a new geological map of the Hawke's Bay and central North Island. The map is the final in a series of updated geological maps for New Zealand. The map and text describe the geology of an area that lies close to a tectonic plate boundary, stretching from the central North Island volcanic plateau and the lowlands of the Manawatu region, eastwards across the ranges into Hawke's Bay.
The map updated previous geological maps that were published in the 1960s. It combines new information from fieldwork and hundreds of published and unpublished maps and scientific reports, including university thesis studies. The 7-year government funded project was a collaborative effort between GNS Science and Waikato University.
The large full-colour 1:250,000-scale map is tucked into a sleeve in the back cover of a 97-page companion book. The book includes stunning colour photographs of landscapes by Dougal Townsend, Kyle Bland and Lloyd Homer, illustrations of the great variety of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and numerous diagrams summarising aspects of the geology.
The QMAP series of geological maps covers the whole of New Zealand. The project began in 1994 and, with the publication of QMAP Hawke's Bay, the series of 21 maps is now completed. The new map has been generated from a computer database using GIS technology. This means that it can be updated when new information is obtained.
The oldest rocks in the map area form the Ruahine, Kaweka, and Ahimanawa ranges and the Kaimanawa Mountains. These rocks were deposited on the ocean floor between 200 and 145 million years ago – the Jurassic Period – and have since been uplifted.
Hills of limestone and sandstone now exposed in near Napier, Hastings, Waipukurau and the eastern margin of the Kaweka Range accumulated within a seaway that stretched from the Manawatu Gorge to Cape Kidnappers between one and three million years ago. Sandstone and limestone preserved along the Napier-Taihape Road are remnants of a seaway that once connected the Taihape area with Hawke's Bay.
The map includes the eastern part of Tongariro National Park, situated at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. The text describes the different types, ages and sources of the various lava, glacial and lahar deposits of Mts. Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu. Violent volcanic eruptions from calderas at Lake Taupo and farther north have sent pyroclastic flows into the area several times in the last 350 000 years.
The text describes a wide variety of natural hazards in the map area. These range from volcanic and earthquake hazards to landslides, coastal erosion and tsunami hazard.
Groundwater, aggregate and limestone are economically significant resources, and oil and gas are potential future resources.
The GNS Science team acknowledges input from numerous staff and students across all of New Zealand's universities, as well as all landowners who granted access to their land. GNS Science also used offshore faults and folds obtained from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.
Digital data from the map are already being used extensively in a number of applied and scientific projects. End users expected to benefit include DoC, regional councils, engineers, mineral and petroleum exploration companies and earth scientists. People with an interest in the geology of this area should also find the map and text useful and informative.

U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that he is withdrawing from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal was "silly and superficial", Iran's Supreme Leader said on Wednesday, according to his official website.
"You heard last night that the president of America made some silly and superficial comments," said Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "He had maybe more than 10 lies in his comments. He threatened the regime and the people, saying I'll do this and that. Mr. Trump I tell you on behalf of the Iranian people: You've made a mistake."
Khamenei challenged Trump's ability to withdraw from the deal, saying he "cannot do a damn thing!" and added that "this man (Trump) will turn to dust and his body will become food for snakes and ants, and the Islamic Republic will still be standing."
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Iran nuclear deal, saying he will reinstate economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Iranian President Hassan Rohani said Tuesday that Iran will remain in the nuclear deal despite Trump's withdrawal, adding that Tehran is ready to resume its nuclear work after holding talks with EU members of the deal.
The European Union and France have declared they remain commited to Iran nuclear deal, with talks slated to take place soon.

July is a time Americans celebrate with fun, food, and fireworks. It is also a time when eye care professionals warn adults and children to be extremely cautious when using fireworks. While most people consider them simple entertainment or recreational toys, fireworks can cause serious bodily and property damage. The extreme heat fireworks produce can burn the skin and eyes, and the chemicals and flying debris can cause permanent vision loss.
Most of the injuries from fireworks involve firecrackers, bottle rockets, and roman candles, but these are certainly not the only ones causing harm. While the majority of fireworks are used around July 4th, they are also used at weddings and other celebrations (especially sparklers). Even though manufacturers follow strict safety standards, the fireworks come with warning labels and still can cause damage when not used properly. In fact, fireworks are so dangerous, that some cities ban their use, even during national holidays.
Never shoot or throw fireworks at anyone. The chemicals, heat, and flying debris can damage the eye and set clothes on fire.
Do not make you own fireworks or tamper with ready-made fireworks. Use them only as directed by the manufacturer.
Make sure an adult is always present.
Find a safe surface such as a concrete driveway or road. Never use fireworks on dry grass or near brush.
Make sure a water source is nearby (water hose or bucket of water). If you are not near water, make sure a fire extinguisher is on hand.
Keep the fireworks you are lighting away from unlit fireworks and only light one at a time.
Do not lean over a firework as you light it; if it seems your firework did not light properly, stand back a while or douse it with water. If the firework is not working do not attempt to relight it.
Wear safety eye wear; shooting glasses or other sports glasses are goof for protecting the eyes.
Keep your eyes safe from fireworks during July and throughout the year so that you can enjoy your eyesight for a lifetime. For more information about state and federal regulations visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website.

She's a Julie and Steve Asmussen score 'special' win in La Troienne Stakes
Julie Asmussen went to the races on Friday, of course.
But it wasn't at Churchill Downs.
On the Kentucky Oaks day that a filly named for her won the Grade 1 La Troienne Stakes, trainer Steve Asmussen's wife was instead attending the final high school track meet for the couple's middle son.
Meanwhile, She's a Julie rallied late to edge Secret Spice by half a length.
"I thought she showed her heart," Steve Asmussen said. "… It's a very emotional story."


Black plastic and evidence bags protect a part of the crime scene in Sleaveen car park, Macroom, where a man in his 70's, was seriously assaulted. Photograph: John Delea.
Gardaí have arrested a man in his early 30s for questioning following a serious assault on a 73 year old pensioner which has left him hospitalised with life threatening injuries.
The assault happened shortly after midnight when the victim, named locally as Christy O'Callaghan, was attacked and badly beaten as he was sleeping in a van at Sleaveen East in the centre of Macroom.
Mr O'Callaghan suffered a punctured lung as well as injuries to his head and body and was rushed by ambulance to Cork University Hospital where he is now in a serious but stable condition.
The alarm was raised by a passer-by and gardaí were quickly on the scene and arrested a suspect in the general vicinity. He was conveyed to Bandon Garda Station for questioning. He is being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act which allows gardaí detain suspects for up to 24 hours before they are charged or released.
Gardaí are keeping an open mind on the motive for the attack including the possibility that the suspect targeted Mr O'Callaghan with a view towards robbing him of money he had with him.
Gardaí cordoned off the scene which is in a car park area near a local funeral home and garda technical experts have begun a forensic examination for DNA and other evidence.
Officers have also carried out door to door inquiries in the area and have begun harvesting CCTV security footage to see if it can assist them in their inquiries.
Gardaí under Supt Joe Moore of Macroom Garda Station have also appealed to the public for assistance and asked anyone with information to contact Macroom Garda Station on 026-20590.

Q: how moodle save user quiz response in database? how moodle1.9 save user attempt quiz result in database and which tables are updated when any quiz has been attempted by user?
Please guide me.
If possible please updated me, which functions are used to insert user quiz attempted data in moodle1.9 database?

A: From the attempt.php file (Moodle 1.9.7):
$attempt = quiz_create_attempt($quiz, $attemptnumber);

Then:
if (!$attempt->id = insert_record('quiz_attempts', $attempt)) {
            error('Could not create new attempt');
        }

From locallib.php:
/**

Cobrar Vida en La Republica de la Boca!
If you're looking for life in Buenos Aires, follow the yellow and blue of Boca Juniors and you'll end up in La Boca. The area that according to our guide is most representative of the real Buenos Aires. The area where the first immigrants lived, as it is near the port they landed and could work.
The area we now adore because of the colourful houses. The houses they build and painted with whatever they could find, hence the different colours. They clearly live for futbol, love to tango and have found tourism as a way to get a good income. Despite the touristy feel, it is still a fun place to come and enjoy the atmosphere. You could be promenading in a small village on the Amalfi Coast or Costa Blanca. All the tables are outside. Little shops are everywhere, and open air artists try to make you stop, like tango dancers, or the Maradonna lookalike complete with glass of beer in hand. Wonderful looking menu's scream for you to have a taste and of course the Boca Junior flags fly proudly from most houses.
Oh yes, this is a living Buenos Aires for sure!

There are many teaching strategies you can use to ensure effective and productive learning environments and experiences for all students, including those with disabilities. Accessible Education[i] is the process of designing courses and developing a teaching style to meet the needs of people who have a variety of backgrounds, abilities and learning styles. Just as there is no single way to teach, people learn in a variety of ways; using different instructional methods will help meet the needs of the greatest number of learners[ii].
The following are some practical tips for teaching students with deaf-blindness.
What does it mean if someone has deaf-blindness?
A person who has deaf-blindness has a greater or lesser extent of hearing and vision loss. This results in difficulties accessing information.
Persons with deaf-blindness use different communication methods. Persons with deaf-blindness may be accompanied by an intervenor, a professional who is trained in tactile sign language. This sign language involves touching the hands of the client using a two-handed, manual alphabet, also known as finger spelling.
Other persons with deaf-blindness may use American Sign Langauge (ASL) or Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ), or they may require small window interpreting (signing within a restricted range of vision). Some persons with deaf-blindness have some sight or hearing, and others have neither. Persons with deaf-blindness will probably let you know how to communicate with them. If you are unsure, ask.
Advance planning is usually crucial for academic success. Consult with the staff at the Office for Students with Disabilities.
Encourage students to tell you about any accessibility concerns. You can do this verbally early in the semester and by including an accessibility statement on your syllabus. Indicate that such conversations are confidential and are strictly for facilitating any learning needs or accommodations that may be in place.
Identify and clearly express the essential course content, and recognize that students can express understanding of essential course content in multiple ways. Diversify assignments or allow for exceptions to enable all students to demonstrate their specific talents (for example, oral presentations, poster presentations and written assignments).
Consider providing your classes with information about the accessible features of their immediate environment (for example, automatic doors and accessible washrooms).
Provide the course outline, the list of reading requirements, copies of overhead slides, and all other materials in an accessible, digital format whenever possible. Some persons with deaf-blindness will use assistive technology. The type of technology they use will depend, in part, on their hearing and sight levels and whether they rely on one of their senses more than the other, if at all. Assistive technologies could include sound amplification (hearing aids), as well as screen readers and/or screen-enhancement software that allows the user to magnify the computer screen or change the contrast.
Accommodate the needs of students who use adaptive technology, such as closed-captioning, screen readers, personal frequency modulation (FM) systems, teletypewriters (known as TTYs), amplified phones, closed-circuit television (CCTV), Braille, magnifiers and magnification software.
Understand that environmental noise, poor acoustics, and a speaker's voice, pitch, volume, patterns and accent will impact the quality of the communication process for students who rely on residual hearing.
Be flexible and available to meet with a student and his/her intervenor, and with staff in the Office for Students with Disabilities, as needed to discuss specific learning needs, strategies for success, alternatives to course assignment, and methods of evaluation. The communication process for a student with deaf-blindness can be slower than that of a student who does not have a hearing or visual disability. Curriculum may take longer to deliver, and greater time may be required for clarification of course content.
Patience, respect, and a willingness to find a way to communicate are your best tools.
When you approach a person with deaf-blindness, identify yourself and speak directly to them.
Ask permission before touching the individual, unless it is an emergency.
Speak directly to the person, not to the intervenor.
The following are common academic accommodations that may be required for students with deaf-blindness. This list is not exhaustive and is not intended to replace the official request for academic accommodations as communicated by the Office for Students with Disabilities.
Arrange to meet with the student to discuss specific learning needs, strategies for success, alternatives to course assignments, and methods of evaluation when the student provides her or her letter of accommodation.
For exams that include graphic content (such as charts, maps and illustrations), you should contact your Office for Students with Disabilities to have the material transcribed into a format that's accessible to the student; if needed, you can provide an alternate evaluation method.
Provide extended time for tests and exams; note that students may have access to an interpreter during tests and exams to interpret questions.
Note that students may use an interpreter for oral assignments and presentations.
Remember that students with disabilities do not have to disclose their disability to their professors or anyone else in the academic environment in order to receive accommodations. Unless a student chooses to disclose to you the nature of his or her disability, you will only receive information on the accommodations the student is entitled to receive. It is important to familiarize yourself with the accommodation and the accessibility resources and protocols at your university to ensure you are following recommended practices.

Home | Articles | Regulatory Compliance: What does this mean for my Business?
Over the years, the issue of regulatory infraction has become more worrisome as companies continue to dole out billions of naira to settle fines imposed for various regulatory breaches. In 2015, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) imposed a fine of $5.2 billion (albeit negotiated downwards) on a foremost telecommunications company. This sanction led to the replacement of some key members of the Board of Directors of the company.
Similarly, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) fined four banks for various regulatory breaches in November 2016 – one of the banks was fined ₦4 billion. The global terrain is also not spared in this tsunami of regulatory sanctions. Since 2008 to date, banks globally have paid over $321 billion in fines according to data from Boston Consulting Group.
It is exacerbating where cash that should have been employed as capital to run the business is paid out in penalties or fines. This can lead to value erosion and loss of investors' confidence in the business. Keeping track of compliance requirements is therefore essential for companies in order to avoid penalties that could affect their business operations.
This article considers the effect of non-compliance with statutory regulations and explains the need for companies to take proactive steps to comply with laws and regulations relevant to their business.
The business environment in Nigeria is highly regulated with many permits and applications required in order to carry out business operations. Some of these permits need to be obtained prior to the commencement of business operations and others in the course of operations. For example, a start-up outsourcing recruitment company with foreign shareholders which provides services to companies in the oil & gas industry would require a number of regulatory registrations/approvals in order to get started with its business.
Apart from incorporation at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the attendant requirement to file annual returns at the CAC, the company would be required to register with the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), obtain a business permit from the Ministry of Interior, obtain a recruiters' license from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and obtain a permit from the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR). For taxes, there would also be a requirement to register with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and the State Internal Revenue Service (SIRS) for tax remittances.
In order to repatriate interest on loans and dividends, the Company would need to have obtained a Certificate of Capital Importation (CCI). Failure to obtain a CCI at initial capital inflow can be detrimental as the ability to obtain a CCI retrospectively may be impossible. Similarly, assuming that there is a technology transfer agreement with a foreign partner, there is a requirement to register the agreement with the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) in order to repatriate service fees via the official foreign exchange market.


Blackpool and Preston residents will soon be able to tune in to a new Local TV channel on Freeview channel 8 – YourTV Blackpool & Preston.
The channel will reach at least 340,000 homes across the area and will include a blend of local news, local politics and sport as well as education and entertainment produced both in house and with members of the public.
Based on the indicative schedule sent to Ofcom we'll see programmes such as SoapBox Citizen which integrates social media chatter, Skype calls and comments from the public on local issues and MP Challenge where local politicians will be able to provide a local spin on Parliamentary decisions.
YourTV, which has also won the Local TV licence for Manchester, will broadcast content 24 hours a day in Blackpool and Preston. The majority of content will be locally produced, with there being a commitment to broadcast at least 14 hours of local programming in the first three years.
While there's no date set in stone for launch, YourTV is confident that it's well advanced in its plans and anticipates launching YourTV Blackpool & Preston on October 1, 2013.
Who are YourTV Blackpool & Preston?
YourTV Blackpool & Preston is part of YourTV Limited. YourTV Blackpool & Preston has won the licence from Ofcom to broadcast Local TV in the Blackpool and Preston region for the next 12 years.
The YourTV group is chaired by Sir Michael Lyons, former chairman of the BBC Trust and YourTV Blackpool & Preston is backed by a number of local figures like Tony Carr, co-founder of Radio Wave 96.5 and Simon Reynolds, former editorial director of the Lancashire Evening Post.
YourTV also launched bids for Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Newcastle and Sheffield.
What will be on YourTV Blackpool & Preston?
YourTV Blackpool & Preston will broadcast 24 hours a day, every day of the week and is committed to show 14 hours of locally-produced programming daily over the first three years of its 12-year run. There will be roughly four hours of live content each day and more if the news agenda requires it.
The majority of the schedule will be dominated by local news and information as well as local politics, sports and education.
As with YourTV Manchester, a key part of YourTV Blackpool & Preston's content plans is the ability for local viewers to call in on their mobiles, make a Skype call or come along to a local show taping.
Book It!: A book review show featuring interviews with authors, book reviewers and readers from around the area.
MP Challenge: Local politicians will be given the opportunity to explain Parliamentary decisions and answers questions from local constituents.
Soapbox Citizen: A citizen journalist-type slot in which local video reports, tweets and comments from viewers on local stories, reviews and news.
Where will YourTV Blackpool & Preston cover?
YourTV Blackpool & Preston will be broadcast on Freeview channel 8, from the Winter Hill tower south of Preston. As well as Blackpool and Preston, coverage will also include parts of Southport, Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Garstang. Click on the map below to get an enlarged view of the Local TV broadcast footprint for Blackpool and Preston.
When will Local TV be coming to Blackpool & Preston?
Though it's to be confirmed, it is currently expected that YourTV Blackpool & Preston will be live by October 1, 2013.
Local TV is a project that's been set up to add a more local dimension to digital TV, bringing local news, features, advertisements and broadcasting to 19 UK cities initially. Later on it's expected that a further 28 locations will also get Local TV.
As YourTV Blackpool & Preston will be landing on Freeview channel 8 later this year, you'll need to retune your FReeview set-top box or TV set in order to pick up the new channel.
Not at the moment. Right now, it's looking like Local TV will be coming to Freeview first of all and to the other digital TV platforms later on.
Because of technology issues, Sky and Freesat won't be launching Local TV, due to the fact that it's more expensive and less efficient to broadcast TV channels to specific localities on digital satellite than it is over digital terrestrial TV.
As well as this, Sky is involved in an ongoing debate as to where on its programme guide Local TV will appear. Sky has offered to place Local TV on channel 117 but has also discussed the idea of having Local TV launched on a separate on-demand menu, accessed from the yellow button on the Sky remote.
Virgin Media has also suggested launching Local TV through an on-demand portal instead of giving up a separate channel on its programme guide.
It's not yet clear how or in what form Local TV stations will be arriving on Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media. All we know right now is that it'll be coming to Freeview on channel 8 in England and Northern Ireland and channel 45 in Scotland and Wales.

video refereeing isn't difficult
After the debacle of the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley yesterday - Chelsea should have had two men sent off, John Terry's tackle on James Milner was a leg-breaker, but the referee could be described in no other terms as gutless. No balls whatsoever, can't send off a Chelsea player in a Cup semi...
John Inverdale wrote a great piece in the Evening Standard on Friday about how (field) hockey has introduced video replays in its elite club competition which concluded over Easter. It's not hard, it's quick, takes the pressure off the central referee and removes the effect of blatant bias or basic incompetence... or even the occasions they are genuinely unsighted. Hockey hasn't got it perfect just yet - only one challenge per match is a bit silly, especially if you get your challenge upheld, and in a game of rolling substitutions, only allowing the captain to call for it doesn't work as well as it could. But it does improve the game a lot.
Football - the 'beautiful' game, the wealthiest game, the most supported game... also the most stubborn game when it comes to bringing it into the 21st century.

Let's stay in this area.
Which king proclaimed to be the god king of a slightly different egyptian cult?
Kumpel is, of course, right!
Oh, it's the guy who changed his name. Some relation of Nefratiti's. Atensomething.
I have no idea how to spell "Atenakken"
No "Atenakken" ever ruled these pyramid fetishists from a few thousand years ago afaik.
I just remember "Aten" meant sun, and he wanted to be worshipped as the new sun god instead of Ra. If we go through all the iterations of "Aten" we're sure to hit on it!
Archeologists are still unsure if this king ruled his own part of the Egyptian kingdom parallel to Ramses II or in his own dynasty, because in his era he destroyed a lot of cultural treasures to establish his own monotheistic cult.
Wow! I didn't know this very different but afawikik absolutely right alias of "Echnaton". You just spelled it slightly wrong - it's "Akhenaten" -, but You are of course right, Darth.
I wanted to guess without looking it up so I just went all phonetic!
This prolific, late 19th century, serial killer brutally murdered women. The murderer continued until his/her murders started making headlines. Then the killings just stopped and the killer was never caught.
It was not Jack the Ripper. However, given that the murders in question took place before the murders by Jack the Ripper (and neither were caught) I suppose we can't positively say it wasn't the same person. However, in the case of this question, it was not Jack the Ripper.
H H Holmes? Other than Jack the Ripper he is the only serial killer I know of from that time and I am pretty sure he was before Jack the Ripper.
There was an American murderer, who killed many women with an axe and was never arrested, but I don't remember his name. The "servant girl killer" or something similar?
There was an American murderer,..The "servant girl killer" or something similar?
Close enough! The Servant Girl Annihilator was the moniker penned by writer O.Henry. The string of murders took place in Austin, Texas USA between 1884 and 1885. The killer's first six victims were servants (all black) so didn't get much press until the next two (and final) victims were killed and they happened to be white. Then the media hysteria started and the killing stopped.

When you've made the decision to set up your own hospitality business, excitement and enthusiasm are in no short supply. Still, sooner or later reality arrives with the question; how do I finance my hospitality business? After all, there's a lot of key things to buy for a hospitality business, and while you can save on equipment with companies like Nisbets, sometimes robust finance options are needed too.
Fortunately, there are many different options to consider here. Depending on your circumstances, you may find some routes more favourable than others.
Consequently, here's a few ways as to how you can effectively finance your hospitality business.
Companies looking to grow, expand, or invest further typically go down the route of business loans. That said, often the APR rates, lending caps and numerous terms and conditions are enough to put people off. Bosses don't like being told what they can and can't do, nor like being beset with a dozen contingency plans if things go wrong. After all, no one is stricter than a bank that's lent money out.
Of course, business loans can finance a hospitality business quite adequately under the right circumstances, but they're certainly not for everyone. The fixed interest rates are a draw and some banks are indeed more flexible than others, but a business looking for a quick surge in growth typically might avoid the bank loan until necessary.
Peer to peer (P2P) lending is another way to secure funding for your hospitality business. They essentially boil down to digital marketplaces, whereby lenders can channel some money into a business online and receive their loan back in full plus interest if/when things go well. It's also a way for the borrowers to secure their funding without dealing with all the hassle from banks, so that's a plus too.
However, the main draw of P2P is that it allows people and businesses to work together and exchange their resources. If you're keen to get your hospitality business off the ground, some strong allies lending their support would no doubt be a big plus in terms of both resources and encouragement. P2P can be risky given the unpredictable nature of businesses and success rates etc, and not everyone sees a return. Still, when they do work they do so resoundingly well.
If you're confident that your hospitality business will appeal to the masses and truly fulfil a crucial public need, then perhaps crowdfunding could be a viable way of financing your firm. After all, there's numerous crowdfunding platforms out there, and often businesses justify this move as a way of tightening the bonds between company and customer, better unifying them.
In the end, crowdfunding should not be your first and only method of funding. Remember, it's not without its criticisms and controversy, so try not to rely too heavily on this option. You don't want your hospitality firm to appear desperate or like it's selfishly stealing from those with goodwill. However, once all options have been exhausted or partially used, perhaps some innocent crowdfunding is the next best route to go down.

I have been asked by a number of people as to why I identify with being an ExMuslim, and not just "Christian." This blog is an answer to that question with my best effort to be honest, sincere, and sensitive to those who will read this whom may disagree. I'm addressing this for three types of people: The Christian, the secular Muslim, and everyone in between- especially - those Middle Easterners & Western Muslim's who are in the grey area. The grey area is where the crisis is experienced. I know it is happening because 150K tweets of the hashtag #ExMuslim and #ExMuslimBecause began trending a few months ago. . . Western Muslims and Middle Easterners all began sharing their harrowing stories by using that hashtag. I encourage you to look it up and see it for yourself.
Personally, I feel like Western Culture and the Islamic nations are at an unthinkable crossroads. And this crossroads is magnified due to the two most complicated topics converging at once: Religion and Politics. So as you get deeper into this blog, I hope you relate to what I am going to say. This is not me trying to "be right." In fact, being ExMuslim, I am very cautious to see if someone is actually serious and aware that this can and – will - impact your life. I remember the days when I had 1 minute at the end of my show to "lead people to Jesus." I was faithful to the opportunity but what many of you don't know is that it was awkward for me.
When I had my "crisis of religion" back in my early teenage years, life was everything but good. If you have heard me speak or follow my social media & website, you know that I have been telling my ExMuslim story for years. It began with a genuine search for inner solace and peace. Have you ever searched for the thing you knew you REALLY NEEDED but it was nowhere to be found? Seeking healing came from that need for some sort of stability, I lived in a beautiful house but needed a home. I had a lovely stepmother who was expected to ignore the monstrous event that the man she just married had NINE -9- children from a previously failed marriage. What we all needed was to talk about the split. Ignoring the monster elephant in the room for the next 15 years would be detrimental to all of us- including my father. I have even grown to appreciate the effort my brave stepmother took to take us on. Truly, that was brave and that deserves some respect.
Being born as an American [waves old glory] while being told I'm Arabic- and by the way- before anything: First and foremost, I was Muslim! I literally had every intention to find God when I moved to Jerusalem at 12 years old. By 13.5 I was in full blown depression and living in an extremely dark space. Had I had the courage, I probably would have committed suicide. Had I not had a support system of good people who took me in and taught me what it was like to be a member of a healthy family, I would have ended up either in a gang, on drugs, or in the Psych ward. This is not to denigrate my blood relatives- in fact, I love them all very very much. They will forever be cozied up in the deep chambers of my heart and soul. In my heart: because you cannot turn off your heart. Especially when you have aimed to follow it wherever it may lead- even if it means being labelled an apostate. In my soul: because my biggest hurts and pains because of the converting has left a mark, a wound, a limp like Jacob when he wrestled with the Angel. They are deep in my heart because at the early years in my twenties, I determined that I would stop looking for all the sensations of my Christian faith & spirituality. I actually made myself available to the Christian world and the Muslim world by literally displaying my life for all to see. That was horrifying too. I was and is my story and because I am a storyteller, I will forever tell my story.
The truth of the matter is that my life is extremely influenced by my spiritual Christian self. There is NO way around this. It is popular in the West to be 'spiritual' and I love that, I really do, but my story is that it was Jesus who helped me. For this, I am indebted to tell my story honestly. I cannot hide this nor would I ever: I do, however, reserve the right to adopt to my own worldview. So am I Christian, yes. Am I ExMuslim, yes. Can I separate the two- maybe- but why would I? For the believers' out there in social media land, please understand that to ask me to be "Christian" and ignore the ExMuslim part would be half the story.
So, what is your point and why Hazem? I'm glad you asked. Now I will offer this piece of my heart to the Muslim who loves his religion: I am not your enemy nor do I want to offend you. However, I can't help but to think of the hundreds of ExMuslim's that I personally have encountered. Most of them are still Muslim on the outside because of repercussions with family and their communities. Dear Muslim, please help me. I need to know how those teachings (which are in the Quran itself) are ok? Honestly, how can anyone in 2016 agree with the prescribed Islamic codes. I hate to be the guy who does this but we were lied to. Our culture and religion told us that our pride and honor was the most important thing- a typical common falsity within tribal culture, the standard or honor and pride got out of control. Our girls began getting married at 14 (and younger) while becoming subjects and not people. If this is not your experience, I respect your experience. In fact, I rejoice with you for that blessing. Most ExMuslims I have met, were not so fortunate. The vast majority of ExMuslim's I know had an incredibly difficult journey. It is those people I relate to as well.
So asking me to just talk Christian and not ExMuslim is kinda like asking me to change the color of my eyes. I can do that, but that would be fake. And given the incredible time in history we are living in, I firmly believe that if we ignore the ExMuslim masses, we will lose to all those things which steal our innocence like drugs, gangs, suicide, etc etc. So my dear ExMuslim, I promise you two things.
2) I promise to not try to "convert you." There was a time I would do this. But I found that the most spiritual thing I can do is to be available- to be vulnerable. Show my wounds- my fears, my insecurities. truly, the best I can be because I am in that wrestling space myself. I am aware that just like me, you are ready when you are ready to wrestle with truth and spirituality. I had to study Islam because I needed to know for me whether those things I discovered were true- bc I could have made a mistake… And lastly I studied Christianity because I wanted to grow my spiritual walk and grow in love and grace. Otherwise, I would be in a completely different place right now.
I hope you hear my heart. Being vulnerable with the hardest topic in the world is not easy. So dear Muslim, if I offended you, I genuinely apologize. I simply am trying to get the majority of the secular Muslim's to realize these teaching are there- and it is not a phobia to question questionable ideas. As long as the majority of loving- kind secular Muslims' continue to conflate the idea that Islam is peace and these crazies are all terrorist's, there will continue to be attacks, more violence, and more corruption in the name of Islam. The best thing the concerned ones- the secular Muslims- U CANNN step up and take charge. There are more of you who want to not believe in Jihad than there are those who are doing it. As long as our influential Lefties refuse to engage ExMuslims, and as long as the influential Righties continue to show anger to the Muslims, the problem continues and bad ideas get spread even further.
This is why the left needs to get their act together. And the right needs to chill out with the whole Muslim thing. I do understand both reasons so I get it. But at the moment, now it is time to re-evaluate. Corporately, everyone is going through some sort of this.
For me, it has been a long journey from hopping on the greyhound at 17 running away from home; looking over my shoulder. I am now 31. 15 years later, I've never been more optimistic. Why? Because when true change happens it is all encompassing. I feel like the Bush era is over. The Clinton era finally being challenged and quite honestly, if it survives, I would be surprised. But as with everything, one step at a time. By November, those like me will be sure of who to vote for. Without expounding, you can see why we may or may not be limited this election season.
As Hazem Farraj, obviously a very human being… an ExMuslim... and follower of Jesus…seeing hashtags like #ExMuslim and #ExMuslimBecause may have only been a trending hashtag but for us who have been at this a while, hiding for our lives, dodging blasphemy laws, and in the meantime missing our loved ones, we don't see just a hashtag, we see 150k tweets of hope. So the good news to the masses who are struggling in secret: I am going to make you a promise. You are going to be ok. Just don't stop. Stay courageous. Stay curious. And stay human to the non-humane teachings.
I hope the Left and the Right have the wisdom to discern the times, and not politicize the greatest Islamic crisis of our time.

Sergio de Castro (15 September 1922 – 31 December 2012) was an Argentinian artist.

Biography

Sergio de Castro was born in Argentina, in an aristocratic family of Spanish origins (Galicia and the Basque Country), the House of Castro. His father was a diplomat, which is why, from 1923 until 1932, Castro lived in Switzerland with his parents and his two sisters. During these years he visited cities like Lausanne, Geneva and Turin.

In 1933 he entered a Jesuit school in Montevideo and he started studying music. He discovered poetry by learning to speak and write in Spanish. He was specially touched by the works of César Vallejo. Through the years Castro would become close friends with writers like Octavio Paz, Julio Cortázar, Samuel Beckett, Kostas Papaioannou and Georges Schehadé. Later, during a trip to Uruguay, he met Joaquín Torres García, with whom he studied painting and monumental art from 1941 until 1949. In 1942 he moved to Argentina, where he would live until 1949. Castro was also friends with other artists like Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and Árpád Szenes.

In 1945 he found a job as a secretary in the Astronomy Observatorium of the city of Córdoba, where we also worked as the assistant to the musician Manuel de Falla in Alta Gracia, until his death in 1946. In 1945 and 1946 he had a grant from the French government to study musical composition. During the year of 1946 he had an exhibition in New York City among other members of Torres García's workshop. That same year he travelled to the northeast of Argentina and the south of Perú to study pre-Columbian art with Gonzalo Fonseca, Julio Uruguay Alpuy and Jonio Montiel.

In 1949 he started teaching History of Music in the new music school of the city of La Plata. His work as a musician drew attention from relevant figures such as Wilhelm Furtwängler, Aaron Copland and Juan José Castro. He quit this job when he got a grant from the French government to improve his musical studies in Paris, where he settled in November 1949. Since 1951 he devoted himself exclusively to painting.

In 1955, his friend the German writer and translator Edith Aron introduced him to Julio Cortázar, who would become a close friend of him. Castro inspired the character of Etienne in Cortázar's novel Rayuela (Hopscotch). In the book is featured the intimate friendship of the protagonist, Horacio Oliveira, with his companion in the Serpent Club, whom he often visited in his studio in Paris. In 1960 he won the Hallmark Prize in New York. In 1979 he obtained French nationality.

In 1980 he showed his works at the Argentinian pavilion in the 39th Venice Biennale. He was associate professor in the Human Sciences Faculty of the University of Strasbourg from 1981 until 1986. In 1997 he became Officer in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

In 2006, Sergio de Castro made a 220-work donation to the Fine Arts Museum of Saint-Lô.

He was also a close friend of the musician Alberto Ginastera, who made reference to Sergio de Castro and his first works in his notes on modern Argentinian music.

Castro died on 31 December 2012 in Paris. He is buried in the Montparnasse cemetery, in Paris, close to his dear friend Samuel Beckett.

10 Band Reunions We'd Like to See at Coachella
Author: Scott ThillScott Thill
The just-announced 2012 Coachella lineup is loaded with big names like Radiohead and The Black Keys, but it's also stacked with reunions. Some will bolster the music festival's street cred (Company Flow, Firehose), while others will fortify ticket sales (Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, At the Drive-In). The annual music festival, which takes place over two consecutive weekends this spring (April 13-15 and 20-22), has a long history of reuniting bands, from the Pixies and My Bloody Valentine to Jane's Addiction and Rage Against the Machine. And the prospect of seeing esteemed, estranged musicians getting back together got us thinking about who we'd like to see reunite for a blistering Coachella set at some point in the future. (We left out R.E.M. and Sonic Youth, two bands that recently fragmented to the dismay of both longtime fans and the decreasingly relevant music industry.) Read Wired.com's wish list for Coachella reunions, consisting almost exclusively of bands that have played the festival in the past or have been rumored to get back together in Indio, in the gallery above. Then leave your own picks for a Coachella reunion in the comments section below. Above:
Pink Floyd's back catalog needs no introduction, especially to Coachella's high-desert dosers. But that is not why the band would be the crown jewel for music-reunion miners. Bassist Roger Waters and guitarist David Gilmour have reunited only once since acrimoniously splitting (after barely working together on The Final Cut) in 1983, and that was at Live 8 in 2006, before soft-spoken keyboardist and vocalist Richard Wright passed away. Getting Waters and Gilmour together again onstage, a near-impossibility, would be a Coachella coup, especially if the band played deep cuts like "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" and "The Nile Song," which are perennially overshadowed by songs that we've all heard on repeat for years. One can dream. http://www.youtube.com/embed/hSsjxbRxgqY Image courtesy EMI/Hipgnosis
We already heard good news on the Sleater-Kinney front when guitarist Carrie Brownstein, currently starring in Portlandia's second season, told us a reunion is just a matter of merging timelines with vocalist and guitarist Corin Tucker. (And it's about time.) "Corin and I are still the best of friends, and we have been talking a lot about Sleater-Kinney as something to do again," Brownstein told Wired.com. "I'll try to squeeze it into the one day I have free in 2012!" When she does, a reunion kickoff at Coachella would be a firestarter for a fierce power trio whose incendiary rock dropped its last bomb with 2004's deafening The Woods. But one expects the Portland, Oregon-based band would loyally rep its home front, rather than the Cali desert, so you can probably expect a blast at MusicNW first. http://www.youtube.com/embed/MbxRu7fwR24 Image courtesy Sub Pop
The reformation of David Byrne's not-so-merry band of legendary beat brainiacs would be welcome news, should it come to pass. But since merging pop, punk and funk throughout the '70s and '80s on classics like Fear of Music and Remain in Light, Byrne has chosen to follow his musical muse alone, while Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz and bassist Tina Weymouth continue to tour with their proto-hop band Tom Tom Club. Rewiring Talking Heads' estimable legacy with a Coachella set would work wonders, even if it were just a once in a lifetime reunion. http://www.youtube.com/embed/I1wg1DNHbNU Image courtesy Warner Bros. Records
Like Pink Floyd, foundational art-pop band the Velvet Underground is one of the last of the broken titans of the '60s, and a post-millennial reunion could galvanize the world (even though founding member Sterling Morrison has gone on to the great gig in the sky). The band's chief creative forces, Lou Reed and John Cale, are thankfully still with us, which makes the Velvet Underground a reunion holy grail. 2012 would have been an excellent window, given that the band last reformed with its core lineup of Reed, Cale, Morrison and drummer Mo Tucker 20 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/embed/0cWzxJvgWc8 Image courtesy Jawbone Press
An annual reunion wish-lister, Cocteau Twins captivated hearts and minds throughout the '80s and '90s with movingly ethereal soundscaping, before the merge of family and business proved too heavy a burden for singular vocalist Elizabeth Fraser and atmospheric guitarist Robin Guthrie. Nevertheless, together with bassist Simon Raymonde, who runs the presciently indie Bella Union label, Cocteau Twins created some of music history's most unclassifiable songcraft, and would still be openly welcomed at Coachella (or anywhere else they decided to reform). How long that welcome would extend is an interesting point, as those who have seen Cocteau Twins live can tell you. It's not easy for the band to replicate their sonic explorations in the flesh, especially for Fraser, who often sang in three or four different styles in the space of a single song. But for those of us whose lives have been changed by their music, we'd probably be happy just to see them happy again. Image courtesy Steve Pike/4AD http://www.youtube.com/embed/h_ICl20EJjY
Iconic front man Morrissey has so far chosen to forge ahead into the new millennium without Johnny Marr, whose ax mastery made The Smiths' music sublime. Coachella reunion rumors arose in 2009 and doubtless will again as the list of artists inspired by Morrissey and Marr's musical mind-meld grows. What difference does it make? Limitless. http://www.youtube.com/embed/eHvbbJ0Sspc Image courtesy Rhino
The fearless and resolutely independent musical explorers of Fugazi remain without peer in punk rock. On indefinite hiatus since releasing its last effort, The Argument, barely a month after 9/11, the Washington, D.C.-based quartet has been way too quiet for way too long. Don't get us wrong: We're stoked that Fugazi released a massive online archive of more than 15 years of epic live shows. But if you've ever seen Fugazi live, you know there's nothing like the real thing. (Check out the classic video for "Waiting Room" below.) Even if — let's just say "when" to feel better about it — Fugazi reforms and tours, there's practically zero chance the band would play an event as corporate as Coachella. But who cares? We'll take a reunited Fugazi and run with it. Image courtesy Dischord http://www.youtube.com/embed/SGJFWirQ3ks
Sure, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are cool for hip-hop's comparatively new school, but when it comes to highly anticipated hip-hop reunions, even they would probably agree there's really only one lasting holdout worth the hype: Eric B. and Rakim. Both artists are still alive and more relevant than ever. Eric B.'s kinetic beatcraft, which recombines the timeless funk of James Brown, has been copied far and wide. But for all his cerebral explorations and laser-like deliveries on "Follow the Leader" and other tracks, Rakim has yet to fully receive his due from the new millennium's easily distracted mainstream. A Coachella reunion could fully school the noobs, and they would love every minute of it. http://www.youtube.com/embed/95gP3m-uBHA Image courtesy Universal
Minneapolis' finest punk export, Hüsker Dü crossed alternative music over to the mainstream under the stewardship of guitarist Bob Mould, drummer Grant Hart and bassist Greg Norton. But even though all three members are still musically productive — including Mould, who has recently been pounding out Hüsker Dü tracks with Los Angeles-based punk heir No Age — the wished-for reunion has yet to materialize. Yet it seems almost inevitable, as everyone ages and their creative and other differences dissipate in the smoke of a sure-fire reunion payday. As more and more bands reunite, you almost root for Hüsker Dü's insistence on separation, because what could be more punk? Image courtesy Mark Peterson/SST http://www.youtube.com/embed/Lq_TowFGLU8
Although this Stockton, California-based band never fully crossed over from the independent scene to the bloated '90s mainstream, it has still achieved a lasting credibility that would likely remain intact if it decided to reunite at Coachella. It might seem weird for Pavement front man Stephen Malkmus, who has had zero problems on the credibility front as a solo or collaborative artist, to toss that out at this stage of the game and reunite to help Coachella sell tickets. Except that the band already did that in 2010, and while that brief reunion generated healthy earnings, it seemed to do little to repair Pavement's fissures. So for now, Malkmus and company belong in the reunion barracks with recently fragmented supergroups like R.E.M. and Sonic Youth. Let's let them rest there in peace for a while. There's always another year, and another Coachella. Image courtesy Masao Nagasaki/Creative Commons http://www.youtube.com/embed/mOwrbdKQ08o

Public and community colleges have always had their own police departments, but private colleges typically don't.
However, one state lawmaker has teamed up with a security leader at College of the Ozarks to try and change that.
"Last year in 2018, it was like we had one per month — an active shooter in a school situation," said Kurt McDonald, the operation head for crisis management at College of the Ozarks.
McDonald has teamed up with State Representative Jeff Justus to put officers with FBI level training and full arrest power on private college campuses in Missouri.
In an active shooter situation, response time is crucial.
It's pretty much common for a public college or university to have their own police department, but not a private one. So why now?
Justus said so far, the bill has been well received..
"One of the things Mr. McDonald and I are doing now is going to the representatives talking to them because there's several of the representatives have colleges that might if it passes, have the ability to do this," Justus said.
Will taxpayers have to foot the bill?
"I've put three kids through college — and it means a lot to me to know that when my children are in college, I can rest at night to know that that's the safest place that they could possibly be," McDonald said.
