The 2013 YMCA General Assembly hosted in Philadelphia this year is just around the corner, July 18th-21st to be exact, and this year Exergame Fitness will be at booth #221 bringing a whole new line of youth focused fitness and wellness solutions to be shown on the exhibit floor!
The YMCAs have been a strong family foundation in America and have affected generations of families. Did you know that the YMCA organization was founded in 1844 in London? Now 169 years later the YMCA's of America are getting together once again since their last organization wide trade show back in 2010, this time to learn how to engage families, adults, and youth with a new way of health and wellness.
Today the YMCAs are focusing on three very important criterias: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. Our focus at Exergame Fitness is to demonstrate how technology, gamification, and data can be used to help the YMCAs and their members achieve those goals.
This year we are gamifying the actual trade show event as a whole by partnering with MOVABLE to host the Exergame YMCA MOVchallenge. As YMCA members attend the General Assembly they will be wearing a activity tracker on their wrist, collecting data on the amount of moves and steps that individual makes. The goal is to get over 1.4 million combined moves among all participants! This is a great opportunity to demonstrate how activity can be turned into a game, where data is collected and used as points and learn how point collection can be used to reward effort!
On July 18th experience a new and improved fitness with our Youth X Exergaming room, which will be recreated on the trade show floor. See how technology has been integrated into fitness through gamification to motivate, engage, and activate active lifestyles in our youth. Learn how data can be used to empower YMCAs to deliver more engaging wellness programs, and see first hand how fun fitness can be through gamification! We invite you to stop by booth #221 on July 18th-19th to see all the exciting possibilities that Exergame Fitness is bringing to the YMCA's.

Q: Sharkoon Drakonia Gaming Mouse doesn't work at all I've got a new Mouse "Sharkoon Drakonia", a gaming mouse with 11 buttons and high changable resolution.
The problem is, that the mouse doesn't work. Only the LEDs are visible, but wether the buttons nor the mouse movement ist recognized.
Under Windows the mouse works out of the box (main buttons, movement, forward and backward, the other buttons not yet tested).
Also the lsusb seems not to see it right:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04d9:a067 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc.

A: Driver for the mouse exist in the 3.11.2 stable kernel. kernel mailinglist
Increase the HID_MAX_USAGES is just a workaround.

A: This solution should work with all Sharkoon mice at the time of writing this revision.
Recompiling Ubuntu Kernel for Sharkoon support

*

*Open a Terminal window (Ctrl + Alt + T)

*Run sudo apt-get install fakeroot kernel-wedge build-essential makedumpfile kernel-package libncurses5 libncurses5-dev to get required packages for kernel building.  You can apt-get remove <package name> these packages if you do not want them afterwards.

*Run the following to create a folder for the kernel source:
mkdir ~/source
cd ~/source
apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

*Type in cd linux and press Tab to fill in the rest of the folder's name before pressing Enter.

*Type in gedit include/linux/hid.h and find the string (Ctrl + F) "#define HID_MAX_USAGES" and change the value of it to '64000'.

*Run cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config to get the config file from your current system.

*(Opt) To speed up compiling, you can set the concurrency level.  Run export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=#  Replace "#" with the number of cores on your CPU + 1. (Dual-core will be "3")

*Run make-kpkg clean to prepare the directory for compiling.

*Run fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-sk kernel-image kernel-headers to start compiling the kernel.  This will take a long time.  If you have to interrupt the process, you will have to run rm ~/source and start from Step 3.

The kernel binaries (.deb) will be in the folder ~/source.

Installing the custom kernel

*

*Open a File Manager window and navigate to /lib/modules.

*Open a Terminal Window and cd ~/source

*Run the following using Tab to autocomplete the names:
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-(REPLACE_ME).deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-(REPLACE_ME).deb

*Run sudo update-initramfs -c -k (REPLACE_ME[DIFFERENT]) replacing with the name of the new folder (should end with "-sk" in the File Manager window.

*Run sudo update-grub.

*Restart your computer.

You should now be running with your new, custom-compiled kernel.

(Opt) Cleaning up

*

*Open a Terminal window

*Run sudo apt-get remove fakeroot kernel-wedge build-essential makedumpfile kernel-package libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

*Run rm ~/source (Or you could delete the directory from a file manager)

A: I have read that some people have had success getting this mouse working but the only known method requires recompiling the linux kernel.

It might be safe to say that we are accustomed to the reality of having to work to earn a living. In fact, many of us are unlikely to know any different; because, since we can remember, Mum, Dad and other family members have been toiling to make ends meet and to provide for themselves and the family.
the better, most might agree.
This requires a focused and dedicated mindset; one where – by diligently taking control of your money – every cent of your earnings that is not spent elsewhere, is put towards reaching the goal of financial independence.
Find out by answering our simple money management quiz.
As the quiz may have highlighted, there are often factors which warrant closer attention as you go about making everyday financial decisions; and, perhaps more so when you are committed to reaching a goal of financial independence.
By taking control of your money, you often need to review the options to ensure that your choices and actions are aligned with the best possible financial outcomes. However, with the high and ever-rising costs of living, saving more may be easier said than done.
Replacing a propensity for spending with the habit of saving can often seem unattainable; yet, through determination and a focus on diligent budgeting, even from a seemingly insignificant start, your savings can soon grow into a substantial amount. And, by leveraging the power of compound interest, your money works harder, forcing savings to grow faster.
There are many options available. By consulting with a qualified and licensed financial adviser on your journey to reaching financial independence, you will be better placed to ensure your decisions are better informed and aligned with the most appropriate investment opportunities to suit your specific needs and objectives.

Laurier and prominent business alumni send-off spring Lazaridis School graduates
Over 600 Lazaridis School Honours Economics, Honours Bachelor of Business Administration, double degree, master's and PhD students crossed the stage as graduates from Wilfrid Laurier University as part of Spring 2016 Convocation on June 16 and 17. Family, friends, faculty, staff and community members were in attendance to show their support and offer words of congratulations and advice.
Michael Lee-Chin, chancellor of Wilfrid Laurier University, shared three ways to build a fulfilled life: do well for oneself and one's family, do good for society and execute both with absolute passion. "Make no little plan, make big plans...aim high in hope and work," Lee-Chin urged the graduates.
Nicole Coviello, marketing professor at the Lazaridis School, received the 2016 University Research Professor award for her significant contributions to the fields of international entrepreneurship and marketing. "Life is about long, ongoing, continuous learning," said Coviello, who will use the research grant to study how innovation and marketing impact a company's performance.
Coviello borrowed from the words of marketer and Silicon Valley venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki – "Eat like a bird and poop like an elephant" – to inspire the graduates. Like birds who eat 100% of their body weight, Coviello called on the graduates to absorb as much knowledge as they can, and like elephants who produce a large amount of waste, use what you learn to make a big impact.
The Lazaridis School presented honorary Doctor of Laws to renowned economist, Peter Howitt, and CEO of BMO Financial Group, Bill Downe (BBA '75). Both of Laurier's latest honorary degree recipients were eager to impart their wisdom on the new graduates.
Howitt stressed to the graduates the importance of finding their passion, following their dreams and giving back to the community – all to add purpose to their lives. "Choose something that really excites you and matters for other people," he said at the Economics convocation. "Make sure to take time to help the people working with you and more importantly, those working beneath you."
"This university gave me everything I needed to accomplish anything I wanted to do," Downe told the Business graduates, explaining how the greatest accomplishments are more often characterized by bumpy road rather than a straight path. To the graduates unsure of their futures, Downe advocated: "Choose the most worthy opportunity presented to you and give it your best."
"It's a day of ceremony, of graduation, of achievement," said Max Blouw, president and vice-chancellor of Laurier. Blouw asked the graduates to reflect back on their Orientation Week and the journey they've taken to arrive here: "I hope you found your passion…I hope you are all inspired to lead lives of leadership and purpose."
Members of Wilfrid Laurier University's Alumni Association (WLUAA) also offered their own insights as Lazaridis School alumni, having been at the same place as these latest graduates not long ago.
"You didn't just get a degree, you solidified a bond," explained Jeff Gadway (BBA '07), director of product marketing at Vidyard. Gadway reassured the Lazaridis School graduates that they don't need to know everything right now and provided some advice he wished he had been told: "Work will always be there…when you figure out what you care about, throw yourself at it entirely."
Mark Aiello (BA '02), senior vice president, strategy and operations at Marsh Canada Limited explained how the university's emblem, a maple leaf, not only serves as a Canadian symbol but a microcosm of how the many facets of the Laurier community come together as one. "Wear a piece of Wilfrid Laurier University wherever you go," Aiello said.
Congratulations to the Lazaridis School class of 2016…Welcome to the Laurier alumni family!

International / US/Latin America
Suspected New York imam killer charged with murder
AFP/New York Published on August 16, 2016 | 09:10 AM
A man cries as community members take part in a protest against hate crime after the funeral service of Imam Maulama Akonjee and Thara Uddin in New York on Monday.
New York police charged a suspect on Monday with the double murder of a New York imam and his friend, in a brutal slaying that sent shock waves through US Muslim communities.
Oscar Morel, a 35-year-old Brooklyn man,was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, NYPD detective Hubert Reyes told AFP.
Fearful Muslim New Yorkers have demanded stepped-up security and justice as hundreds of mourners attended the two men's funeral service in the borough of Queens.
Maulama Akonjee, 55, who migrated to the United States from Bangladesh, and his friend, 64-year-old Thara Uddin, were shot dead in broad daylight on Saturday afternoon in the Ozone Park neighbourhood.
Morel was taken into custody on Sunday, the NYPD told AFP.
Following his detention, he was charged with a hit-and-run that took place three miles away from the double murder and the assault of a police officer, Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce told a news conference.
The murder charges were added later on Monday after police recovered a gun and clothing from his house that were similar to those believed used by the shooter, US media reported.
Morel was known to have been in the area of the double murder eight minutes before the homicide and took off directly afterward, Boyce said.
Police said Morel was from East New York, a troubled area of Brooklyn, and was believed to have a job in a warehouse.
Authorities had earlier said hate crime was being investigated as a possible motive -- as demanded by Muslim elders -- but did not provide any information on the suspect's motives on Monday evening.
The New York Daily News quoted police sources as saying the killer may have been settling a score in a feud between Muslims and Hispanics, suggestions that have been dismissed by members of the Muslim community.
"We want justice, we want justice, we want justice," chanted Muslim elders at a chaotic news conference before Monday's funeral.
Xenophobic statements
The Council on American-Islamic Relations had offered a $10,000 reward for any information that could lead to an arrest or conviction.
Community leaders, clearly rattled by rising Islamophobia, slammed "xenophobic statements" made against Muslims in speeches by "politicians and candidates seeking the highest office in the land" -- a clear reference to Donald Trump.
Trump, the New York billionaire and Republican nominee, used a keynote address on Monday to demand ideological screening tests for immigrants, saying immigrants and their children had been responsible for a string of extremist attacks in America.
One speaker at the pre-funeral conference demanded security cameras be erected outside mosques and for the street where the two men were shot to be renamed in their honour.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who paid his respects with other elected officials, promised extra police would protect mosques and Muslim communities, saying the entire city stood shoulder-to-shoulder with those in mourning.
"We know there are voices all over this country who are spewing hate, trying to create division, trying to turn one American against another," de Blasio said.
"We're not going to let them continue to encourage acts of hatred."
The working class area where the victims were killed, on the border between Queens and Brooklyn, is home to many Muslim families from Bangladesh.
Akonjee had been carrying more than $1,000, but the attacker did not take the money, police said.

A recent survey of 25,000 women by the charity Opportunity Now and PwC, the professional service group, looked at discovering why women's careers often stall between the ages of 28 and 40.
The survey, which is the largest ever UK study of women in the workplace, has discovered that more than half of women (52%) have fallen subject to bulling or harassment over the past three years, while a further 12% had been sexually harassed.
According to the survey there are, as of yet, no comparable figures for men, however, some males in focus groups said they had witnessed female colleagues being harassed. Women said they were often bullied by other female colleagues and line managers.
Other barriers preventing women from reaching the top include, the stigma attached to flexible working arrangements and fear of the high pressure, long hours and stress that comes with more senior roles.
However, the survey found that, while flexible work patterns such as part-time, term-time working and job sharing helped with work-life balance, almost two-thirds (64%) said those who did it were less likely to progress at the same rate as their peers.
Findings also suggest that half of women and two fifths (40%) of men, do not want the lifestyle of the senior people in their organisation, which they saw as involving long hour and high stress.


A Rookies Guide to Red Wine.
Picking out a delicious red to compliment the canapés at your next fabulous dinner party can be a 'first world problem' encountered by even the best of us even with the awesome online wine club delivery options. The Mother City is known for picturesque vineyards and its huge variety of sublime red wines. But can you tell a Cabernet Sauvignon from a Merlot? Or a Pinot Noir from a Shiraz? Do you know the difference between a light bodied, medium bodied and full bodied wine? Or why the last glass of red always tastes better than the first? (hint: its not because you're tipsy) Read on to fill in the blanks.
Cabernet Sauvignon is possibly the most well-known type of red wine. "Cab-Sav" as its affectionately known is usually recommended when a medium to full bodied, juicy red is requested. The resilient vines are the least susceptible to the frost and the cold, making it super popular to cultivate and the most widely planted in South Africa. Its flavour range includes plum, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, spice and tobacco meaning it is well paired with lamb, red pastas, stronger cheeses and dark chocolate (yummm...). Definitely one of my favourite easy drinking red wines.
Pinot noir is a lighter-medium bodied fruity dry red wine which has notes of strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and cherry. The great news is that its flexible, taking out the guesswork especially if you're serving multiple courses - and it can be paired with pretty much anything, poultry, beef, pork, wild game, cheese, chocolate or seafood so it's a great dinner party option. Warm spicy flavours such as cinnamon, clove and smoky tobacco also form part of its palate profile. It only contains around 122 calories a glass (whuuut?). P.S If you're keen to read about other low calorie alcohol options read this.
Malbecs are softer and fruitier than merlots. It's a red meat wine which goes amazingly with Italian, Thai, Mexican and Indian food. I love it with spicy foods to balance the taste. The main vineyards centre around Paarl and the Stellenbosch regions which give it an earthy, slight acidic taste which it would otherwise not have. It has a dark, inky purple colour with flavours of plum, black cherry and blackberry with a very heavy spicy aroma.
Merlot is a soft, medium-bodied red wine with juicy fruit flavours consisting of plums, blueberries, blackberries and cherries mixed with cocoa and blackpepper tones. It can be paired with poultry, red meat, pastas and salads.
Shiraz, (also known as Syrah) has a deep purple colour and is a medium to full bodied wine and has notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, bell pepper, black pepper, clove, liquorice and dark chocolate. It goes well will bbq meats, meaty pizza and wild game.
So why does the last glass of wine taste better than the first? Because you have to let it breathe! I cannot emphasise enough what a huge difference this makes. So resist the urge to dive into that bottle immediately and either unscrew the cork and leave it out - 25 to 30mins in a decanter is ideal. Or you can use a wine aerator and enjoy it immediately. Once the wine takes in enough oxygen it awakens its aromas and flavours so that you can enjoy your wine to the fullest. You're welcome.
Below are my current favourite, very reasonably priced South African wines. If you have any great recommendations, feel free to pop it in the comments.
I can't take any S.A wine list seriously if it doesn't contain Boekenhoutskloof's "The Chocolate Block". I mean its not known as *the* country's rockstar wine for nothing. You just cant go wrong with this one.
Overall, anything from the Hamilton Russell and Haute Cabriere wine estates are going to be top notch as well.

When I leave my cart in my garage for extended periods of time (3-6 months) I leave the charger plugged in. Is this the correct way to proceed? Appreciate any thoughts the board might have. Thanks.
and, the battery water levels at least every month!
Leaving your charger plugged in won't keep your charger on, you have to manually unplug it and plug it back it in to charge it. If you are leaving it for long periods of time, put a full charge and disconnect the cables to break the circuit. That way you will have no juice flowing through the circuit.
It is a great idea, but very few charges have a float service feature. In other words it charges then shuts off. SEE THIS POST.
This sounds best for my situation since I am unable to check water levels during the period I am away. Is there any downside to disconnecting the cables? Also, should I disconnect all cables or just the circuit ending cables?
I have a 48 Volt Power Drive charger it is a CC charger made by Curtis.
in the 96/97 Maint. Service Manual , it has a section for the Charger.
One subtopic section is labeled "Off-Season Storage Charge"
will turn itself back on , analyze the Batteries if necessary.
it back in and wait until full charge cycle completes.
On the CC with an OBC the OBC has a cycle of 15 days to charge batteries, if this is not possible disconect the batteries, charge before returning to service. Note on non-regen models have left connectered for the winter months, and will hold charge. Either way fully charge batteries before storage.
and the batteries were still almost fully charged!
maybe 20 minutes and the charger shut off.
If your not going to be around... disconnect the main battery cables!


The epic irony of Yasser Arafat's final hours or days is the growing sense that he may facilitate, by his death, what he failed to achieve in the course of his storied life. As recently as a week ago, Palestinian statehood had seemed like nothing more than an abstract wish for the foreseeable future; now, suddenly, with the Palestinian leader reportedly in a terminal coma, Palestinian statehood is once again being discussed in the realm of the possible. It's not simply Arafat's passing from the scene that has enabled the shift. The Bush administration is facing rising pressure from its Iraq and war-on-terror allies to forcefully restart the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the argument being that without a fair solution to the conflict — the single most important source of Muslim rage against the U.S. — the West can make no political headway against al-Qaeda. Until now, the stock response from Washington has been to insist that there can be no meaningful negotiations over a two-state solution as long as Arafat held the levers of power in the Palestinian national movement.
Plainly, however, whatever role Arafat may have played over the years in both facilitating and/or sabotaging negotiations has come to an end, forcing all sides to reappraise their next move. For the Israelis, there are immediate security questions such as where Arafat will be buried — he wants to be interred on the Jerusalem hilltop known by Jews as the Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, but Israel is determined to prevent such a symbolic reaffirmation of Palestinian nationalist claims on the holiest piece of real estate in the Holy City; instead, they'll hope to seem him buried in Gaza. Israeli security chiefs want to avoid provoking a Palestinian nation in mourning or to be seen as interfering in any succession struggle. For Israel's political echelon, however, the challenge is more complex. Israeli politicians are suddenly questioning the relevance of Ariel Sharon's plan for a unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. Even within Sharon's government, some are now arguing that with Arafat gone, so is the argument that there is no Palestinian peace partner, and the Gaza pullout can now be negotiated and coordinated with the Palestinian leadership.
But Arafat's passing brings on a more acute political problem for Sharon. Although the Israeli prime minister has outlasted and outwitted his nemesis, prevailing in his generational struggle against Palestinian nationalism even to the extent of undoing Arafat's diplomatic triumphs of the Oslo years, he may have won a pyrrhic victory. Sharon strategic goal, after all, has been not to revive President Bush's roadmap, but to avoid it, instead pursuing a unilateral redrawing of boundaries (the Gaza pullout) that would strengthen Israel's grip on the West Bank and remove any pressure to negotiate a permanent two-state solution with the Palestinian leadership. And the anti-Arafat consensus he reached with the Bush administration had, in every meaningful sense, taken the roadmap off the table — as Sharon's top political aide Dov Weisglass put it in a recent interview, the Gaza plan was designed to "remove indefinitely from our agenda" the question of a Palestinian state.
But a White House freed of the constraints of a tough reelection battle and under mounting pressure to restore the peace process may be less inclined than previously to indulge any effort by Sharon to evade a resumption of the roadmap process. The Bush White House indicated Thursday that a second term represents a "new opportunity to move forward on the 'road map' and get to the two-state vision that the President outlined," and Arafat's departure make it considerably easier for Washington to demand that Israel resume a process with the Palestinians aimed at achieving a peace agreement that cedes not only Gaza, but also most of the West Bank, to a Palestinian state.
Sharon will still have some leeway in demanding that a new Palestinian leadership proves its intent to clamp down on terrorism. But if the leadership replacing Arafat is dominated by the likes of such recognized moderates as former Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas the Israeli leader will also face pressure to help his Palestinian counterparts cement their authority. The most important first step in this regard may be withdrawing troops and easing the security grip on Palestinian population centers to allow the holding of elections.
Current indications are that the man who will replace Arafat as the head of Fatah, and its presidential candidate, will be Mahmoud Abbas, the White House-favored moderate who served a troubled term as Prime Minister before resigning rather than accept the neutered role allowed by Arafat. Abbas, who would govern in concert with Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia, may be more inclined to compromise and make deals than Arafat has been, but Palestinian politics is more dangerously fractured than ever after the passing of a national leader who stayed in power by navigating his way between many different and conflicting trends. Abbas is unlikely to be openly challenged, but nor will he be allowed to ride roughshod over the agendas of Hamas or the militant rank-and-file of Fatah, with which he has previously clashed. Abbas would most likely seek to revive his previous attempt, with Egyptian backing, to negotiate a "hudna" (cease-fire) among Palestinian factions — a process contemptuously dismissed by the Israeli leadership who demanded an all-out war on Hamas. Right now, there's no sign of any plausible Palestinian leader willing to fulfill that demand. The preference of Abbas, or any other candidate capable of winning election, will be to bring Hamas into a political process, committing them to cease attacks on Israel, contest elections and exercise the share of power they win at the polls. It's unlikely to be a process in which Israelis find comfort.
Even with the popular mandate of an election, the all-important backing of Fatah and diplomatic support from Washington, Abbas and Quereia would in all likelihood provide transitional leadership to the Palestinian national movement. Both men are in their 70s and not in the best of health, and the divergent interest groups in the West Bank and Gaza may limit their ability to cut deals. If anything, their tenure would hold the ring for various younger contenders to stake their own claims. Men such as Gaza security chieftain Mohammed Dahlan and his former West Bank counterpart Jibril Rajoub may have their eyes on the prize. But in its most recent survey of Palestinian political opinion, the widely respected Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found the second-most popular leader after Yasser Arafat to be Marwan Barghouti. Barghouti, of course, is unlikely to be a contender right now, for the simple reason that he's serving five consecutive life sentences in an Israeli prison for his role in the current intifada. But if no Palestinian leader will ever recapture the national mystique and symbolic power of Arafat, the next best campaign biography may be to pass the treacherous post-Arafat years outside the fray in an Israeli prison.


This study describes the synthesis of a set of novel, degradable block copolymers for DNA transfection, and analyzes their physicochemical and biological properties. PEO macro-azoinitiators are used for the free radical copolymerization of DMAEMA and MDO, resulting in a series of different quaternized or non-quaternized block copolymers. All of the polymers show little cytotoxicity and full degradability, and thus, based on their favorable properties, may represent promising vectors for in vivo applications. Marked differences in DNA complexation efficacies and biological activities are observed, and one of the poly(PEG-co-(MDO-co-DMAEMA))s is identified as optimal for DNA transfection.


Justin Young raised to 85,000 from the hijack and Jake Balsiger shoved 515,000 from the small blind. Jason Johnson checked Balsiger's stack and decided to also shove from the big blind. Young quickly folded.
The board ran out for Johnson to hit a pair of queens on the flop to bust the former November-niner, Balsiger from the tournament in 14th place.

2015 / Director. Ericson Core.
Review by Glenn Cochrane.
So many people had made their minds up to hate the POINT BREAK remake long before they would ever see it. Of course it was this unsettling trend amongst movie-goers, to encourage disappointment, that had me eager to see it for myself. I dig the original film. It's a cool snap-shot from the nineties and it holds up relatively well. So is a remake necessary? Heck no (when are remakes ever necessary?)... but on the other hand I was never precious about the movie either and so the thought of a remake didn't bother me.
Sadly there is little I can relay to you in its favour. I gave it an open mind, which is more than I can say for others, but the truth is that its a fundamentally flawed and overly ambitious act of desperation that falls well short of its mark. – Mild Spoiler Alert - Right from the cheesy opening scene that goes for that whole "CLIFFHANGER" tragedy moment I was instilled with an ominous feeling and suspected that the overzealous naysayers had it right.
To the film's credit it is not a direct remake. In fact the narrative is removed far enough from the 1991 original that it would have played much better as a stand-alone movie without the unavoidable expectations of its title. Johnny Utah's back story has been changed from an inexperienced surfer to a seasoned extreme-sport professional and Bodhi is now an eco-warrior chasing a mythologised series of extreme challenges that promote a message of conservation. Utah, as in the original, must infiltrate Bodhi's circle to bring them down and in doing so he is faced with a series of blurred ethical lines.
The new back-stories to the characters are the first of many mistakes. The whole eco-warrior aspect is stupid and feels like a desperate attempt to make the movie relevant to current social standards, whereas Utah's professional extreme-sport background removes the characters's struggles to connect and infiltrate the group. The script is awful, with truly cringe-worthy dialogue and the overall structure of the narrative is about as simplistic as it gets. There's actually very little to the storyline at all and the entire film feels more like an extreme-sport highlights package.
The stunts are mostly impressive but without a tangible narrative to give them weight they all seem excessive and much too far-fetched. Not to mention the augmentation of the actual stunt footage with the characters interactions is sloppy. There's a lot of lazy green-screen work at play and the continuity blunders are the stuff of legendary drinking games. Where the action in the original film was plausible within the realms of its story, the action in this remake is entirely dumb and unlikely. From an overindulgent avalanche scene to a ridiculous monster-surf sequence, it's a hodgepodge of style over substance (where the style isn't even stylish).
The performances add insult to injury with the only person worthy of praise being Edgar Ramirez as Bodhi. I actually think he's better than Patrick Swayze was in the original, however he's up against a blockade of mediocrity where no amount of excellent on his part can salvage a damn thing.
POINT BREAK is the remake that everyone wanted to hate from the outset.... and damnit, they were right (and I hate this movie for that).

Simon Hall, who murdered pensioner in her home, killed himself in prison, inquest rules
Edmund Crosthwaite
Simon Hall
The killer of a 79-year-old pensioner committed suicide while serving time for her death at, a jury has concluded.
At an inquest at Norfolk Coroner's Court today (Monday), Simon Hall was found to have killed himself in his cell on February 23, 2014.
Mr Hall, who was 36 when he died, was convicted in 2003 of murdering pensioner Joan Albert at her home in Boydlands, Capel St Mary, in December 2001.
Mr Hall, formerly of Hill House Road, Ipswich, insisted he was innocent for more than 10 years but finally confessed his guilt to his wife while he was in Hollesley Bay Open Prison in July 2013.
A post-mortem earlier found that the medical cause of death was hanging, but the inquest was held to determine if this was intentional or not.
The jury reached a conclusion of suicide.


Three story building located in the heart of Borough Park, Brooklyn. The 2nd and 3rd floors will be dedicated to medical use/community facility of non-profit use groups while the ground floor will be allocated for retail use. The building will be Article 28 compliant and will feature it's own separate lobby and elevators. This property is half a block to the D subway line and is in close proximity to Maimonides Hospital. Ownership will consider reasonable divisions.
One of Brooklyn's original neighborhoods, Borough Park retains a timeless quality. Family-run businesses and special events foster a strong sense of community in this culturally rich area. Borough Park is only 200 square blocks in size, but packs a great deal of tradition and history into its boundaries. Residents enjoy the quiet and calm of the neighborhood, fostered by its volunteer service organizations and independent shops. Commercial areas like 13th Avenue provide a jumble of retail outlets and bakeries, while Borough Park's side streets provide an idyllic suburban atmosphere.

India Elections
Congress Party Leader Sonia Gandhi To File Nomination On Thursday
Indian National Congress president Sonia Gandhi (Photo: NOAH SEELAM/AFP/Getty Images).
India's Congress party leader and United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi will file her nomination for the Rae Bareli seat of Uttar Pradesh state on Thursday (11).
Sonia Gandhi, who has been representing the seat since 2004, will contest against Dinesh Pratap Singh, who had recently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party after leaving the Congress.
The Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have not fielded any candidate in the Congress bastion.
Rae Bareli goes to polls on May 6 in the fifth phase of the general election.
Sonia Gandhi had won the seat in 2004, 2006 (bypolls), 2009 and 2014.
In 2014, there were 15,94000 voters in the constituency and the poll percentage was 51.73 per cent, in which Sonia Gandhi had got 5,26,434 votes.
Since 1957, the Congress has won the seat 19 times, including three by-elections, and lost the seat only three times — 1977, 1996 and 1998.
In 1977, after Emergency, Bharatiya Lok Dal's Raj Narain had defeated the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.
In 1996 and 1998, BJP candidate Ashok Kumar Singh won the seat.

This icon is in the pattern or type of icons known as "Hodegetria" or Directress, showing the Virgin Mother leading, by the gesture of her hand, the souls of all mankind to the Author of our Salvation, Our Lord Jesus Christ. As she directs us to piety and love for Our Lord, He blesses us with the blessing of His right hand for all of our endeavors that are brought to Him in faith, for He will help us do all that we wish to do in goodness, and for the Glory of God. The Lord is good, truly Good indeed, and so all that He touches and blesses becomes good also.
Christ here is shown with an awareness and perception beyond that of a child, which is the reason that His face is usually depicted older than His physical years in the icons, but with the full understanding that He is the God of Heaven and of earth. As we learn to treat Him thus, we really become His loving children. This egg-tempera masterpiece icon is a remarkable blend of Russian and Byzantine iconography in modern times, and was painted by Father Andrei in 1992 for the chapel dedicated to the Elders of Optina at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York.


The sweeping revision to the U.S. tax code known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contains many provisions that present pitfalls and planning opportunities. One such provision limits the tax deduction on interest expense. This presents certain tax-planning considerations for taxpayers, especially those who do business relating to real estate.
Under the revised code, the federal tax deduction for net business interest expense is limited to 30% of a taxpayer's "adjusted income" at the entity level, with the excess carrying forward indefinitely. Adjusted income under this provision is business earnings before interest, and until tax years beginning in 2022, before depreciation and amortization as well. Net operating losses and the new 20% pass-through deduction are ignored when determining adjusted income. For example, in 2019 a taxpayer has $40 of taxable income, $30 of interest expense, and $10 of depreciation and amortization. Adjusted income is $80 ($40 + $30 + $10) and the limit on interest deduction is $24 ($80 * 30%). In this case, $6 ($30 - $24) carries forward to the subsequent year.
This limitation is a detriment to taxpayers who finance a significant portion of their operations with debt, which is common when operating rental real estate. Furthermore, rental property debt is often refinanced in order to distribute cash representing the appreciation of the property's value, usually to fund additional acquisitions. Since the debt doesn't go away the excess interest may keep carrying forward, in effect permanently. Some businesses may have to consider changing their method of financing operations to shift from debt to equity counter the limitation.
Fortunately, in certain situations taxpayers can avoid limiting their interest deduction.
The $25 million test for the small business exemption is applied using somewhat complex aggregation rules. Receipts from entities with common ownership are grouped together for the test. If the group fails the $25 million test, the entities in that group will not be able to avoid the limitation this way. For example, two rental properties are owned in partnerships by two individuals, split 50/50. Each property has average gross receipts of $15 million, well below $25 million. But the receipts of these properties are combined for the small business test. In this case, $30 million is greater than $25 million, so both partnerships fail the test and are subject to the limitation. This provision is meant to counter the obvious strategy of splitting up existing businesses into smaller companies to avoid the limitation.
Taxpayers who realize taxable losses and have more than 35% of their ownership comprised of limited investors may also fall into the "tax shelter" trap. Consider a rental property owned by a partnership of five individuals, each with a 20% interest. Three partners are actively engaged in the business; the other two are limited partners. If the property experiences a tax loss in a given year, it is considered a "tax shelter" in this context, since a ratable amount of the loss is allocated to the two limited partners whose ownership exceeds 35%. In this case, the small business exemption does not apply, regardless of the results of the $25 million test; therefore the interest deduction is subject to limitation. This "tax shelter" test is applied each year, which means that in profitable years, the limit may not apply, but in loss years it will. Consider buying out limited investor interest that exceeds 35% to avoid this trap.
If a taxpayer does business in the real estate industry and elects to depreciate real property under the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS), that taxpayer will not be subject to the limitation. ADS provides for a slower recovery period than usual and doesn't allow the instant cost recovery of bonus depreciation. If you are willing to decrease your annual depreciation deductions, you can get out of this limitation regardless of the other factors.
The ADS election may seem an obvious choice, but benefit and cost must be weighed before making a decision. The election is irrevocable; long-term consequences must be considered. Also, an entity that may be subject to the 30% limitation might have enough adjusted income to absorb all interest expense, nullifying the benefit of the election. In addition, losing the benefit of bonus depreciation can be a significant drawback.
All businesses need to understand the consequences of the new interest deduction limitation, but real estate businesses have an extra option to reduce their tax liability. Shifting debt to equity, buying out limited investors, and (for real estate businesses) making the ADS election are viable options to counterbalance the new limitation.

Jerry Green, Ph.D., started teaching at UCO in the Department of Humanities & Philosophy in 2017. He specializes in Ancient Greek Philosophy, especially ethics in Plato and Aristotle. Most of his research focuses on Aristotle's under-appreciated Eudemian Ethics, and its relationship to the better known Nicomachean Ethics (covering a range of topics including the nature of the soul, the relationship between humans and God, the foundations of friendship, the components of happiness, and what it means to be human). He is also interested in contemporary virtue ethics and virtue epistemology, and in the history of philosophy more broadly. Green also is an affiliate faculty in Modern Languages, where he teaches Biblical Greek.
Outside of class, Green is a drummer and has a completely normal and in-control obsession with Star Wars. He drinks a barely immoderate amount of coffee daily.

The Ancient Greeks thought of philosophy as necessary for a flourishing, happy life. This may have been a bit optimistic, but it isn't totally wrong: learning how to think more clearly really can help you be a better person. That's why I studied philosophy, and that's why I teach it. Especially at the Intro level, I design my courses to provide an environment to help students cultivate epistemic virtues, the character traits that make us good thinkers. This means learning more about what good reasoning looks like, but it also involves developing good habits over time and a better awareness of how the non-rational parts of our psychologies affect our reasoning.
To put these goals into practice, I think about pedagogy a lot. I'm a regular participant in faculty reading groups in the 21st Century Pedagogy Institute, and I'm always working on ways of improving my course design and my teaching techniques. I've even started a new line of research connecting my classroom interest in metacognition to my philosophical interests in virtue epistemology.

The bundle includes 432 uniquely produce pouch cells and could be found between your two axles for optimal 50/50 (front/rear) kilos decrease as well as an exact low center of gravity.But my blood was filming the tires were squealing.

There's just a great storage compartment in the front-rear (frunk?), underneath the hood.

I have to take a moment here and truly thank an amazing (and new!) blogger, Oy Mama, whose friendship and honesty about being a single mother to a bi-racial daughter has opened my eyes to the very horrifying realities of racism in our modern era. Please take a moment and read her moving post about white privilege and imaginary play with guns (okay for some, but not others). We need to acknowledge this exists and is a reality in order to make a change.
My first blog "White Privilege and Imaginary Play with Guns" was written on July 26, 2015 after an experience with my daughter led me to write a 2 sentence post in a Parents Talk Race Facebook page my friend Tereza started. Raising Race Conscious Children asked if I would like to turn it into a guest blog post and so my adventure began as a blogger.

Many homeowners appreciate well-organized closet spaces. Similarly, you can acquire the orderliness, and more to that, you may add the attractive appeal that will keep necks turning to have a glimpse. Research has proven that a well-arranged place breeds orderliness in all the other aspects surrounding you including your mental wellness. When it turns out this way, you will develop the strong sense of accomplishment, which is necessary to push you even forward. Many people get frustrations when they cannot trace where they kept some of their personal affections such as the shawl. In this article, you will find reliable considerations to organize your closet, and this will save you from the morning troubles. Moreover, you will get arrangement solutions, creative layouts, and optimal organization tricks.
Without this form of separation, it may undoubtedly be clear that your closet is clattered. Cordoning the larger closet into two spaces automatically arranges the place. When it is designated into two embroidered plaques indicating "His" and "Hers", then the space will be easier to navigate as each of the shelves is used correctly.
Mirrors are shiny surfaces which create the illusion of some place being bigger. You will need to use a plastic and power drill in installing hooks in the closet walls facing you directly. Even better, additional hooks can be put up to serve as jewelry and handbag storage areas.
The normal closet-setup has single hanging levels where you place hangers. Since there are vertical spaces remaining unused, you should set up more hanging levels to use up the space. Shirts should occupy the top levels while pants occupy the bottom.
READ What are the Best Types of Pool Decks?
When you run out of closet space, you can save your day by using coat racks properly. With creativity, you need to set up a fashionable coat-rack display. Moreover, you may create an overhanging ledge that will store light baskets and your linen.
The laundry baskets can be versatile. It is you to put them to extra use, which includes converting them into some storage space. Primarily, the baskets are for storing clean and dirty clothes separately. However, you can acquire an attractive and cost-effective storage area in your laundry room by making few amends.
Before seeking an alternative storage space, ensure the current one is used exhaustively. You can accentuate it by getting the shelves put up in the empty spaces that are all over. Eventually, they will form the ideal storage place for your shirts and pairs of shoes.
Not everyone has the adequate space for extra shelves. However, the little that is available can be improvised by adding the fashionable knobs. For ladies, the knobs are ideal for bracelets, scarves, and necklaces while the males may use them as hat and belt-holders. In both cases, they will be serving as utility and fashion options.
You are advised to take an inventory of the space in your closet and note any area that is not sufficiently used. While doing this afresh, you will find newer details that you may have overlooked before. You will also have options, and this can either be to get a bin or a bamboo rack in the space to store your shoes.
Pegs are effective for holding smaller clothes in plenty. For those who have small children, you need this option since it will accommodate a huge number of shoes and clothes. Moreover, you will need to get colorful bins for holding their toys.
To get the best storage options requires you to go an extra mile. With the close-in closet option, you will need more space, and this can appear as a luxury to some people. However, you could turn that little unused room into use by installing the rods, islands, and shelves of storage.
Adding cubbies to the shelves you have is the best thing that can ever happen to you. The cubbies are indeed priceless because they offer exclusivity for the collection of shirts, hats, pants, and all the other accessories you have. Furthermore, they will always keep the area organized. With this new sense of order, it will be easier for you to get your favorite top.
when you arrange your clothes by their shade and color, you make it easy to access any of them. You will love the results of this arrangement since it will be an additional feature of beauty that did not cost you a lot. You can find a variety of labels from local stores like Walmart or Target.

Devotion and Reconciliation in Ramadan
Reconcile with the Estranged
I advice the Jamaat (Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam), wherever my voice reaches, and wherever the Jamaat is hearing this message, to keep watch over the progress of unity, harmony and strong brotherhood. And in this context, the first step to be taken is that from this present Friday to the next Friday, you need to reconcile with the people with whom you had a grudge against because of things relating to this world (mundane matters), egoistical reasons, or personal reasons.
*** Huzur (atba) made an appeal to all spiritual chiefs and Jamaats in Islam, including the fifth Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Movement and encourage them to drop all form of arrogance and egoistic nature and to reunite together for the sake of Islam and unity as one body of Islam to march forward towards victory (Victory of Islam) *** You need to make peace with these kinds of person. And neither of you should think on these lines: "Oh, I am the victim in this matter; therefore the other one should be the first to come forward to make peace!"
On the contrary, it becomes more incumbent/ necessary on the victim to make that reconciliation happen first because there is a promise of great rewards for the one who comes forward first for reconciliation. And it shall be a real mischance for the one who is in the right (the victim) to miss the opportunity of this great reward and to let his oppressor obtain the grand reward when the latter approaches the victim first for reconciliation. This is an advice and message which needs to reach the ears of each member of the Jamaat worldwide. It is not easy to make this advice reach everywhere and it is possible that this advice needs to be repeated several times.

'Learn from Mr. Nelson Mandela'
In the course of his Friday Sermon of 06 December 2013, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim (atba) of Mauritius spoke about the demise of the great politician and human rights fighter Mr. Nelson Mandela who died early that morning at the age of 95. The passing away of Nelson Mandela is truly an end of an era for the South African people and for all those who struggle for human rights, individual dignity, inter-racial equality and social peace, national self –determination, solidarity and reconciliation in our troubled world.
Huzur (atba) talked a lot on the good works done by Mr. Mandela and the injustice which happened to him when he was imprisoned for 27 years, and the true forgiving nature he expressed when he was released from prison and fought for the rights of both white and black people to live life on an equal footing – the white people were considered as superior and used to enter buildings through the front door, while the black people did not have such rights and had to go through the back door. He became the first "black" president of South Africa and obtained a Nobel Prize for Peace.

east side bride: my first giveaway!
I haven't done this before because honestly I would never give something away that I didn't want myself.
But when Christina Richards emailed to tell me how much she likes the blog (Ihavethecoolestreaders) and I discovered that she just opened an etsy shop, I begged her to let me do a giveaway.
So go visit crPhotography. Then come back and tell us which photo is your favorite. Or if you're really really lazy and you happen to love Bubbles (pictured) feel free to leave a comment right now.
The winner (to be chosen at random a week from today) will receive the fine art print of her choice.
Ocean Path, Ocean Path! gorgeous photos.
Apple picking. Or pink balloon. I can't decide.
apple picking is my favorite.
although bubbles is very eye catching!
I love the easter eggs!
oh man, ocean path is beautiful. they're all beautiful! love this.
Ocean path is my favorite. It makes me think of D's photos from Ireland.
Apple Picking... definitely. I grew up on an apple orchard. The photo is just like home.
yay on your first! I loooove Moon over Margaree. it's dark and yet so magical!!! Love it.
bubbles is my favorite! i mean, BUBBLES! magical floaty foresty bubbles. they win! and hopefully i do, too. yay!
I went to the etsy store - but I love Bubbles the best!
Apple Picking is so lovely and mysterious and I want it. Please and thanks!
LOST Sometimes we all feel like a lost glove. Somehow, it evokes hope in my mind.
Lots of pretty photos, but for something to hang on the wall that is both me-friendly and boy-friendly, I would definitely go with Paper Airplane.
I like Swing, and I resent that you use the pronoun 'her' as you have male readers.
Surely that error is worth a print.
The swing is my favorite. Reminds me of being a kid, which I think we could all stand to relive from time to time.
In fact I am lazy and I do like the bubbles. But, I also really like the riddled tree photo. It seems so sad and beautiful at the same time.
Why hello Kyle. I finally caught you!
(frantically waving arms in the air) Bubbles! Bubble, bubbles, bubbles, bubbles. Bubbles!
Wow, it's hard to pick just one. But I think the painted easter eggs are my favorite.
Oh my gosh! Riddled Tree is my favorite but it was hard to pick.
Her photos are great! It's hard to choose just one...I'm torn between the safety pin one and the easter egg one. Congrats on your first giveaway, and thanks for the opportunity to win such a cool item!
A tree in brooklyn fo sho.
oh the swing! the swing just gave me the chills. and thank you for the comment, you were my first ever. and i thought only my mom looked at my blog when she missed me.
Ooh I'd love me a pink balloon.
My fiance and I both love "The Woods." Great giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway! My favourite is "Lost" (the one with the mitten). Beautiful focus and colours.
I love "Painted Easter Eggs"!
oooo! all so beautiful and mysterious. swing is my favorite... totally evocative of a warm summer evening. great giveaway!
I love Easter Morning. It's so awesome!
Bubbles! Although painted easter eggs and easter morning were close contenders. They are all beautiful photos.
I love the "bubbles" and "swing". Love, love, love it!
I love "A Tree In Brooklyn", "Ocean Path", and "Apple Picking"!
all are so lovely, but riddled tree is my personal favorite!
Bubbles. Simple yet delicate...a nice way to brighten up a poor students day...and give her some much needed zest!
Beautiful photos! Apple Picking is definitely my favorite.
i love Fence. it's both urban and ethereal, and i can't help feeling, "go girl! you can make it!"
I love "Lost" and "Moon over Margaree". Great giveaway, and great photos - thanks!
I like Apple Picking better.
I like giveaways, and you... and I know you like me so lets make a deal: just pick me.
I actually do like bubbles the best!
Not trying to be lazy...but "bubbles"...it reminds me of my dad who loved to play with bubbles when my brother and I were kids!
The swing! I love the swing!
Paper Airplane is my fave.
All the shots are really sweet though.
Hard to choose between Lost and Swing. Very nice!
The Pink Balloon is my absolute favourite! Cute blog btw!
Bubbles! so so pretty and gorgeous colours. The etsy site says they are more vibrant in real life...I have to see it!
Ocean path is the one!
I love the Ocean Path and Magnolia pictures, so pretty! The bubbles are pretty adorable too.
Ooooo....I really feel that the swing picture would fit in well with some prints I already have hanging in my room.
And hey, who doesn't like to go to the park and swing?
a lot of pretty indeed: pink balloon without a doubt!
I've debated back and forth over which print is my favorite for the past 15 minutes... it's was between apple picking and pink balloon.
The final vote: my boyfriend's standard poodle seemed to gravitate towards apple picking.
I love the darker, almost surreal prints, but ocean path just takes me to the place where i'm very very small and safe, headed to the familiar beach of our annual family vacation.
I think I like Tree in Brooklyn the best.
a tree in brooklyn. love the lighting.
Pink balloon. I imagine feeling a little bit of joy every time I look at it.
I can't decide between 'Moon over Margaree' and 'Lost'. They are both stunning and winning either would be fab!
I like painted easter eggs best, so calm and lovely.
