Best Alexa speakers
Teufel Concept E 200 5.1 speaker system

Teufel are newcomers to the UK, enjoying more of a following with our European neighbours. The Concept E range covers a number of options for those looking for a set of speakers. The Concept E 200 is a 5.1 amplified set. But is this the answer to your surround sound problems?
Teufel suggest that these speakers might appeal to a PC user wanting to get the most out of their sound card. The main reason for this suggestion is because the Concept E 200 doesn't have a decoder of its own.
To really get the best performance from the speakers, or a true surround sound stage, you'll need to have a device that either decodes the source information for you, such as some Blu-ray players, a soundcard, or pair them up with a header unit to do the processing, such as the Decoderstation 3 from Teufel, reviewed recently here on Pocket-lint.
The amplifier is built-in to the substantial 250mm subwoofer, giving a sizeable lump measuring 24.7 x 50 x 42cm. For a PC connection that might be just a little too large, especially if you have to hide it under a desk, but if you have a media PC hooked up to a large display for watching movies, then this will provide the sort of bass that makes your internal organs quiver (200 watt RMS).
On the front of the unit are three controls, bass, standby and volume. The central standby button provides on/off power, glowing red when in standby, and illuminating all three controls in blue when on. Having a separate bass control is great as it means you can directly control the bass output at a hardware level, rather than at the input end.
Around the back of the subwoofer you'll find all the connections. As this is simply an amplifier, you'll find inputs for your five channels and one for the subwoofer, and corresponding connections for speaker cables heading out to the satellite speakers.
The satellite speakers feature an 80mm driver, but all five are identical, delivering 100 watt RMS. Some might like this sense of unity, but we found ourselves looking at the centre speaker and wishing it was in some way different, as they often are. You can remove the front mesh for a more industrial look if you prefer. You also get a stand and brackets so you could wall-mount the speakers if you wish.
In the box you don't get any cables other than the power supply, so you'll need to get yourself a drum of speaker cable and the audio cables to hook up to the source.
Set-up is simply a case of plugging everything in and off you go. The result from a DTS source was excellent, but you will have to consider control of the source (the Decoderstation provides a good deal of control that you don't get on the speakers themselves).
The subwoofer is plenty powerful and the satellite speakers, although small, do pack a punch, instantly enhancing your audio output. The 200s sit in the mid-range of Teufel's offering, so you'll find that higher up the range the satellites also feature a 19mm tweeter. In all fairness, however, for general surround sound gaming and movie watching, you'll probably not notice the difference, but if you are going to listen to a lot of music, you might want to consider stepping up a level.
So overall the results are great and there is plenty of volume to create that great surround effect. If you want to connect to a stereo source (such as straight from your TV or an MP3 player) then you'll still benefit from great quality sound, including the subwoofer.
Complaints? Well, you don't get any form or remote, so you'll either have to change the volume at the source or get off the sofa and change the controller on the front of the subwoofer. Depending on how you connect to the speakers, you might not be able to remotely change the volume (such as connected to an audio output on the TV), so this is something to bear in mind.
The speakers will also power off when they don't receive a signal for some time, and we found that on one occasion during a tense (but quiet) moment in a movie, the speakers shut down.
But overall we found the performed well, delivering great crisp surround sound, and come in at a fairly competitive price too. Should you have a PC with 5.1 soundcard, this is an easy way to really exploit it, while paring it with a Decoderstation might appeal to those with a projector setup looking to avoid a full AV receiver.

I want to connect my laptop to a Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 through LAN.

Stars Disappointed After Golden Globes Axed
FanBolt January 11, 2008
Actresses NIKKI BLONSKY and KATHERINE HEIGL have expressed their frustration
after this year's (08) Golden Globes Awards ceremony was cancelled as a result
of the ongoing writers' strike.
The televised event was axed by organisers Monday (07Jan08) to avoid a
celebrity-less event after the Screen Actors Guild pledged its members would
not cross the Writers Guild Of America's picket line.
Hairspray star and Best Actress nominee Nikki Blonsky tells MTV News, "It's
kind of like you've got your dress, you're getting ready for the senior prom,
you've got your hair and your makeup, and somebody goes, 'Prom's canceled!'
"That's what it's like. This was going to be a super-crazy prom. But it's not
going to be."
Katherine Heigl, who is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for
her work in Grey's Anatomy, also expressed her disappointment at the show's
cancelation.
She says, "It's really disappointing. It's an amazing night to be with people
you respect and admire and to celebrate a year of work and a year of
entertainment. I'm gonna be missing it on Sunday, and I'm gonna be sad."
Hairspray director Adam Shankman adds, "It's wrong. I have just too many
friends who worked too hard this year, and (the cancellation) is denying
everybody a platform to say their cause."
The 65th annual Golden Globe Awards was due to take place at the Beverly
Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. Instead, a news conference will take place to
announce the winners of each category.

The Liturgy Committee includes Liturgical ministry leaders - Music, Altar Server, Lector, Usher, Youth Ministry, and Church Environment. They meet with the Pastor to coordinate the Liturgy of the Mass for the Liturgical seasons and Feast Days. The committee meets every second Tuesday of the month in the downstairs classroom.
This ministry cleans and maintains the linen supply for the altar. Once a week, volunteers bring home the purificator and corporal small linens to machine wash and iron. At present, we usually meet after the daily 8:30 am Mass or when convenient. Time dedication: Be willing to devote an hour or so to machine wash and iron a relatively small amount of laundry and place them in the sacristy.
It is an honor and a privilege to assist the Priest during the Holy Sacrifice of Mass. We welcome boys and girls from grades 3 through 12 to join our Altar Server Ministry. If you're interested in becoming an Altar Server, please contact the office to make arrangements for training.
Es un gran honor y un privilegio asistir al sacerdote durante el santo sacrificio de la Misa. Muchachos y muchachas en los grados del 3 al 12 son bienvenidos para ser parte del ministerio de acólitos. Si estás interesado en ser acólito, por favor, contacta la oficina parroquial para hacer los arreglos para tu formación.
Under the direction of the pastor, the main goals of this team ministry is to creatively plan and use art and decor to bring beauty and glory to God's house. We enhance and focus the Liturgy both in Ordinary time and through the Liturgical seasons and Feast days of the Church. The ministry also maintains the holy water fonts, the supply room, and makes sure the plants and arrangements are watered and presentable. Volunteers are needed for drape changes and decorating for liturgical seasons and feast days. Monetary donations, flowers, or plants are greatly appreciated. Please contact the pastor if you would like to help in any way.
This ministry involves proclaiming the Word of God in the Mass. Those who are good at public speaking or have a natural talent of being in front of others should consider this ministry. The lector does not read, but rather proclaims the scripture readings. Commitment is needed to schedule mass times. Persons should attend a preparatory session involving not only basic instruction, but also reflection and catechesis held at the start of the Liturgical seasons of Lent, Advent, and Ordinary time.
This ministry assists in the distribution of the Body and Blood of our Lord. They are expected to be of good moral character as well as to have a deep devotion to our Eucharistic Lord. Ministers must have the Sacrament of Confirmation. Persons should attend a preparatory session involving not only basic instruction, but also reflection and catechesis. Eucharistic Adoration is encouraged.
As a Eucharistic Minister to the Sick/Homebound/Terminally ill, you act as an extension of the priest to the parish community. Good attributes include commitment, compassion, and an understanding of the needs of the patient. One should be a good listener, provide encouragement, and remind them of the great love God has for them. Workshops are held for training, reflection, and catechesis.
This is a ministry of hospitality making sure that people in the church feel welcomed, are comfortable, and feel a sense of belonging. We guide, coordinate, and assist people when they come to the church, and also help in taking the collections. Training is provided when needed.

What is the slowest BPM song you enjoy playing
Thread starter Macarina
double_G
"If You Don't Know Me By Now", a remake by Simply Red. I think it's beats per hour on this one. Ha Ha
YASSSS. 31.9 bpm. 32 feels too fast.

What are they counting? 16th notes?

Beats me.......
I just did a quick search.

No idea what BPM this is.. have never figurd out a bpm in my life.. but it's slow.. i find playing this slow much harder than fast stuff..

Sorry, never figured how to embed..

Here's our trio with a real swell slow groove I could play all night. On this one we're joined by the divine Marjorie Marshall:

Yea, that taps around 55! Speeds up later for the build.
There is also the difference between how a song is counted.
If you're playing a half time groove, the song will sound slower than the BPM.
"If You Don't Know Me By Now", a remake by Simply Red, I don't think it's actually that slow of a BPM, I think the drummer is just playing a half time beat.
If you listen to the guitars for where the 1 is, the temp is approx 94 BPM.
The snare is on 3, not 2 and 4.
Many slow ballads can easily be thought of in a similar way.

.."If You Don't Know Me By Now", a remake by Simply Red, I don't think it's actually that slow of a BPM, I think the drummer is just playing a half time beat..
..The snare is on 3..
In that case you would be playing the song kinda like an English Waltz, 123 123, etc..
I see that song as 6/8, meaning the snare will be on 4, like 123456 123456, etc..
The Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes version too btw..
Or you count that as a 6 over 4 polyrythm..?
In that case the snare would be indeed on 3..
Sorry, music and math is not my best part..lol..
oldskoolsoul said:
No, it's certainly not a waltz.
4/4 with triplets is the same as 12/8.
You could count it either way.
A quick google search of the sheet music shows some places have it written at 6/8, some as 12/8.
But the point is, the BPM is not necessarily slow if you count it as a half time feel.
..4/4 with triplets is the same as 12/8.
A quick google search of the sheet music shows some places have it written at 6/8, some as 12/8..
Correct..
Like i said after i edited my previous post, math and music are not my best part..
But playing the song like that would feel to me as if i would constantly play 6 over 4 and i am not feeling the song like that..
No, not 6 over 4
12 over 4.
4/4 with triplets. = 12 notes.
Just turn on a metronome to 4/4 at 94 BPM.
Then play the song.
It lines up.

Funeralopolis by Electric Wizard
A sweet, slow (and heavy) 63 BPM that just groves. It does pick up some speed later, but it takes some time ;P
Stoner/doom is fun. Even if you don't "partake".
Red Menace
I used to like playing Amazing Grace when I had the church gig. We played it at about 60 BPM. It takes confidence to come in with a steady beat on a slow ballad, the first few times it was very nerve racking, I was so worried I'd screw it up.
BruceW
I don't have any idea the BPM for the stuff we play... We tend to play more ballads than many of the other bar bands around here, so we do play plenty of slow songs.
I've found that playing slow AND playing well is perhaps tougher than playing fast, or what constitutes fast in my world. (No thrash/speed metal stuff in our repertoire, heh.) I do enjoy it, its simply a different challenge, to do the song justice.
Keeping the tempo in check is my biggest priority, as like many bands, we can have a tendency to speed things up too often. (Not just me, the other guys in the group, we take turns.) I've tried to really pay closer attention to this over the last year, especially after seeing videos folks have put up on Facebook of us playing. Sobering, sometimes.

Ditto, re: "If You Don't Know Me By Now", and I'll add "Babylon Sisters".

Jury hears opening statements in Derek Williams inquest
Posted 1:40 pm, February 11, 2013, by Myra Sanchick, Updated at 10:15PM, February 11, 2013
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- A Milwaukee County jury has been chosen and is now hearing opening statements in the Derek Williams inquest. The panel is made up of seven women and two men. Two of the women are African-American.
22-year-old Williams died in the backseat of a squad car in July of 2011 after he was picked up by Milwaukee police officers following a foot chase — suspected of an attempted robbery. Williams' death was captured on a squad camera as he struggled to breathe for nearly 15 minutes without help.
The last half hour of Williams' life was a topic for the opening statement by a special prosecutor. On July 6, 2011, the special prosecutor says Williams was in the process of robbing two college students in the neighborhood near Holton and Buffum.
Two squads showed up to the scene of the crime. An officer chased Williams to an alley. Williams ran barefoot, leaving his shirt on a fence. A police transmission was played to the inquest jury. Eight minutes later, Williams was arrested.
The Joker mask Williams was apparently wearing for the robbery was recovered. Williams was placed in the back of a squad. A portion of the tape of Williams struggling to breathe in the back of that squad was played for the jury.
The jury heard about autopsy reports showing sickle cell crisis. One said Williams' death was natural. More than a year later, that was changed to homicide.
The officers involved may testify during the inquest.
While the jury begins hearing from witnesses, this is a day the Williams family has been waiting for.
Jurors will not be allowed to ask questions during the inquest. They'll have to look at the evidence, hear the testimony and reach a verdict — which will be recommendations to the judge.
Of the nine jurors selected, six of the inquest jurors will give their recommendations to the court. There other three jurors will remain alternates. The decision of the inquest jury must be unanimous.

Tahoe man pitches project to Google
News | March 14, 2009
Jeff Munson / Tahoe Daily Tribune
Jim Grant / Tahoe Daily Tribune
LAKE TAHOE " With a human footprint left on Lake Tahoe and subsequent environmental policies intended to keep the basin healthy, a South Shore man hopes his ideas for a sustainable community may be chosen in a Google-sponsored contest.
Using Internet technology that could be run by solar energy, Garry Bowen has submitted a plan for Google's "Project 10 to the 100th", a grant program designed to help revitalize clean, sustainable communities. The project can be found at http://www.project10tothe100.com. The contest was developed in celebration of Google's 10th anniversary.
"Tahoe's South Shore has an opportunity to begin the process of re-doing the way people see the whole Tahoe, with their own outdoor offering that will connect people with the world around them," said Bowen, a retired casino marketing manager.
The idea is this: With an abundance of bike trails around Lake Tahoe, Bowen wants to see solar powered kiosks, powered by Google, located around the trail systems.
These free-standing kiosks would provide an innovative, off-the-grid way of connecting nature with technology and encourage people to travel by bicycle to learn about Lake Tahoe, Bowen said.
To get the project off the ground, Bowen said it would cost about $2 million in seed funds, which Google's Project 10 to the 100th is offering to winners.
The kiosks would allow the wide-spread sharing of Tahoe environmental education and history in fun and engaging ways, Bowen said, "so the thoughtful and strategic placement of electronically accessible kiosks could be a transformative way for all members of the public to learn."
Bowen, who is a charter member of the International Society of Sustainability Professionals, says the project, if funded by Google, could be up and running within two years. He has a prototype of how it would work.
The kiosks would be readily accessible, and would provide history and environmental information about the lake, with the use of intricate maps, factoids and graphic elements.
This idea is consistent with the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's policies that incorporate alternative transportation and environmental education, Bowen said.
"Conceptualizing multi-use free-standing kiosks that would educate an ever-increasing visitor base in both overall and specific sustainability concepts, while at the same time allowing an insightful shift in transportation modes makes a leisurely and informative bike ride with members of one's family a dream realized," he said.
Bowen's plan comes on the heels of the South Lake Tahoe City Council's decision to form a sustainability commission. Bowen, who applied for the commission, wasn't picked. But the feelings are not hard, he insists.
Like most things in life, the idea is to plants some seeds and let them grow and evolve, Bowen said.
If the Google project were to be selected and come to fruition, it would be a "profound step in the right direction toward a truly sustainable Lake Tahoe," he said.
Google will begin narrowing down the applications for the Project 10 to the 100th on March 17. As of Friday, more than 100,000 entries had been submitted. If Bowen's project stays in the running, people can vote for it at http://www.project10tothe100.com.

Happy weekend! You know what you should do this weekend? Relaxxx. I have a million things planned for the next two days (including an at-home hair cut & seeing Holly Miranda perform), & I've already decided I'm not going to be able to check off everything on my list. Instead, I'm going to allot some much needed time for kicking back & relaxing. What good is a productive weekend if you're absolutely wiped out on Monday morning? The plan is to leisurely tackle my to-do list, recharge my batteries, & enjoy the quiet. I encourage you to join me so I don't feel guilty about being lazy.
A healthy, homemade Dippin' Dots recipe!
P.S. This time last year I was talking about how to grow out your hair - & I'm realizing my hair is basically the same length. I'm so puzzled.


We LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos you took It's hard to pick out favorites because there are so many! You must hear this all the time. Thank you for suggesting going to Colby Sawyer to take Mt Kearsarge in the background- those turned out stunning!

"I want sport in Sri Lanka to be played 'hard, safe and clean' – Minister of Sports
Sudarshana Peiris
Minister Harin Fernando has been handed the responsibility of steering Sri Lankan sport, having been sworn in as the Minister of Telecommunications, Digital Infrastructure, Foreign Employment & Sports today (20th) in the presence of the Hon. President Maithreepala Sirisena at the Presidential secretariat.
An old boy of St. Joseph's College, Maradana, Minister Fernando is an avid follower of Rugby, having represented the college 1st XV. He has been instrumental in uplifting the quality of sport at Darley road. He has a fresh challenge ahead of him in his capacity as the Minister of Sports having already served as the Minister of Telecommunications, Digital Infrastructure & Foreign Employment in his previous tenure.
Minister donates Rs. 5.1mn to Isipathana Rugby
Speaking to ThePapare.com, the newly appointed Minister of Sports stated that he is looking forward to the challenge of leading Sri Lankan sport to a new era, "The Ministry of Sports is a challenging ministry where managing a vast number of associations and federations is crucial, but it's a challenge I am looking forward to undertaking. I will be immediately turning my focus on National cricket, a sport we as a country are very passionate about. We haven't been performing very well in the recent past, I am looking at getting expert knowledge of a few greats of the game to uplift the standards, especially with the world cup around the corner"
Commenting on Sri Lanka's potential in athletics he stated that, "There are some young athletes who have shown enormous potential, we will definitely have an eye on the Olympics and I think if we nurture the talent properly we should be able to have good results in few events. It's important we take care of the second tiers of all the sports and convert them to professionals/semiprofessionals which will keep the national athletes on their toes"
Striving on the importance of keeping sport, an essential aspect of the country, free of corruption, Minister Fernando concluded adding "I want sport in Sri Lanka to be played 'hard, safe and clean'.

Can the Euro Survive the Sovereign Debt Crisis?
On January 1st 2002, 12 of the then 15 EU Member States replaced their national currencies with the Euro. In 2011 with EU membership at 27 there are now 17 Member States using the Euro and countries such as Poland are actively preparing to join in 2013. To prepare Member States for the transition to the Euro the Stability and Growth pact was included in the Treaty of Maastricht 1993 which requires Member States to keep their budget deficits below 3% of GDP in all but exceptional circumstances. Failure to do so would result in sanctions, including fines. Yet since the inception of the Stability and Growth pact many Member States, including Germany, have consistently run budget deficits which exceed the 3% level.
It is on these shaky foundations that the Euro has been built. While many may view the EU's problems as the consequence of poor economic management by feckless governments the reason for the Eurozone's sovereign debt crisis and the bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal is more complex. It is the absence of a strong EU constitution which has contributed to this debt crisis. The Euro has intrinsically linked the economies of the Eurozone States, but this integration has been based on the unrealistic principle that all Eurozone States are equal partners. While equality meant that States were prepared to join the Euro, the Treaty does not include appropriate constitutional mechanisms which guarantee the necessary political and legal accountability required for this pooling of economic sovereignty. For example, France and Germany have persistently flouted the Stability and Growth Pact and the Council, in which these two Member States are dominant forces, chose not to accept the Commission's recommendations that they should be fined for doing so. The European Court of Justice reviewed the Council's decision, but sidestepped the question of the fines reinforcing the weak nature of the institutional framework regulating the Eurozone.
Though the European Central Bank (ECB) is an important Institution governing the Eurozone its priority is to deliver price stability through the management of interest rate policy. This blunt instrument of economic regulation is found wanting in 2011 where a one size fits all interest rate policy is inappropriate for economies at different stages of development. Through interest rate policies the ECB does not offer political direction to the Eurozone countries and does not have the power to determine Member States' priorities for taxation and spending. The ECB is detached from the realities of delivering expensive social and welfare policies which have become expected within the Member States and which form part of the idea of a 'social Europe'.
As a currency the Euro remains strong, indeed anyone travelling to a Eurozone country from the UK is receiving 30% less for the pound in their pocket than they would have in 2006. However, the Eurozone is undergoing a two-speed economic recovery which is likely to result in a realignment of political and economic power. The principle of equality that has hitherto underpinned the Eurozone has been abandoned. Strong economies such as Germany have significant leverage over the weak economies of Greece and Portugal. Thus, the vacuum left by the absence of a constitutional framework to regulate the Eurozone has been filled, but this has arisen by default rather than by design.
The EU bail-out package and the ad-hoc response to the debt crisis illustrates that the Eurozone, and the EU more generally, will now be dominated an inner core of strong economies. These economies will inevitably place their economic priorities before those of the weaker States. Member States that remain outside the Eurozone are reluctant to write blank cheques. Germany the strongest growing economy in the Eurozone is also making any financial assistance dependent upon simultaneous economic reform. This is the new political and economic hierarchy within the EU which has arisen because the Treaty did not include adequate constitutional control of the Eurozone. Though this realignment means the Euro is likely to survive, the EU will have moved much closer to becoming a multi-speed organisation.
He has recently completed a monograph with Professor Erika Szyszczak to be published as part of the Sweet and Maxwell Understanding Law series. Understanding EU Law examines the themes and principles of EU integration from the Treaty of Rome to the Constitutional Treaty.
His research interests include the relationship between national parliaments and the European institutions within the context of the legislative process. He also researches the process of eastward enlargement of the EU and in particular the impact this has on the EU's relations with its eastern neighbours. He has published two monographs on the subject of the United Kingdom Parliament and its participation the EU legislative process and has contributed to several Parliamentary inquiries in to the subject.

Very interesting discussion, all coments are relavent and well thought out. This weekend I was listening to a radio discussion which suggested that there is a move to adopt a "world currency". This may be an opening for a wider discussion. I am from the US by the way.
Thanks for the kind words, Caroline. Good to have you on board.
How can a multi-speed organisation ever work if there is not a unified constitution from which ALL policy flows? It's all very nice and neat-looking to separate economic activity from 'other' activity, but let's face it, pretty much all activity of any type has economic implications on some level. One cannot then ignore the blatant fact that economics relies on the 'trickle up' notion that every individual's economic activity affects economic decisions on an increasingly large scale as individual decisions amalgamate whilst one moves up the supply chain.
The issues that the Eurozone is facing now were inevitable from the moment that the single currency was introduced with the absence of harmonisation of social and fiscal policies among its members. Any expectation that the system would work to the benefit of all member States was at best negligently myopic and at worst fraudulent misinformation on the part of the stronger economies, i.e. Germany and France, since Portugal, Ireland and Greece are now tethered by commitments that they cannot possibly fulfil without tangible recognition by ALL Eurozone member States that, with the single currency, they are no longer sovereign States. It's all very well Germany reporting healthy growth, but they must be prepared to share their fortune willingly with those with whom their own currency is also dependent.
There is no reason why different states in the union should not vary in their wealth as with Kentucky and California in the USA. The difference is in the amount of freedom Kentucky has to borrow within the union an the amount Greece has but also the attitude of the union to debt. The USA has a 12 trillion dollar fiscal deficit and a similar trade deficit. Europe would never countenance such debt. The result of this is that Greece has to borrow at much higher rates of interest than Kentucky because the lenders know the Union will support it but they doubt the commitment of European Union to support Greece.
Stricter controls on borrowing and more cohesion on debt not greater federalism is all that is required. Conform or be expelled. No civil wars are required. We have no need to be precious about who is in the union and who is not. Hang on to those drachmas Toby but don't write off the Euro just yet.
But if they don't see themselves as one society, then the Euro won't succeed.
Do the Americans see themselves as one society? It is true they are very patriotic but they are also very hyphenated (Black, Latino, Polish, German, Native, Christian – the list is endless). Does a computer programmer or film executive in California care about a coal miner in Virginia unless that is where he was born?
There is a collective memory about an extremely bloody civil war that binds the states together. Likewise there is a collective memory in Europe about two world wars that binds the union together. It is that same collective memory that binds Britain closer the the United States than it does to Europe, to say nothing of language and economics. But in Europe that collective memory can be relied on to hold the states together. Even Switzerland has, so far, voted (in referendums) to be bound by each and every new European law because the Swiss understand their common interest lies with Europe. This combination of collective memory and enlightened self interest can be relied upon to keep the Euro in place.
We can only speculate but I think it will survive. The European institutions will reform and management will be improved. On a lighter note, I am surprised that Italy is alone amongst the ancient empires not requiring support. I have put it down to the success of the Fiat 500.
The retirement age in Germany is moving to 67. In Greece it's 63. The Euro won't survive in the long run until social and fiscal policies are also unified. And Europe is showing no appetite for that.
The Euro won't survive. At least not in its current form.
For a single currency to exist you have to have a single monetary policy.
And that means individual nation states can't use interest rates and devaluations to deal with recession. So in a diverse geographical area, the only way this can work is if tax payers in one part of the area are prepared to pay to subsidise development in another.
The USA has a single currency but New Yorkers, Californians and Alaskans have a shared sense of nationhood and are prepared to share the endeavour.
Europe isn't one nation. Taxpayers in Germany aren't prepared to endlessly bail out the PIGS. So the only way forward for Greece et al is to exit the currency and take control of their own monetary policy. Otherwise not only the Euro, but the entire European project will fail.
This is good news for me as I have £40 in drachmas left over from a nineties holiday in Corfu I can then spend….
Clearly you gained the wrong impression. Discourse works on many levels.
This is very informative and I think that it captures the essence of the problem.
It is interesting to foresee that European Union will become a multi speed organisation however it may be also interesting to foresee how this organisation will be ultimately governed.

Who exactly is Emin Agalarov, and how does he know the Trumps?
No one is calling the video any kind of smoking gun. It's just an interesting insight into Trump's relationship with the pop star, and may explain why his son took the meeting.
The Agalarovs met Trump at the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in 2013; the businessmen lobbied for Russia's capital to be the location of the event.
Goldstone mentions both Agalarovs in his emails to Trump, Jr. "Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting," Goldstone wrote in the now infamous emails — which Trump, Jr. posted on his Twitter account Tuesday after the New York Times reported on them.
Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his investigators will be looking at the meeting and the emails as part of the broader probe into possible Russian collusion within the Trump campaign, as CNN reports.

Karl Ibach (* 3. April 1915 in Elberfeld; † 3. Mai 1990) war deutscher Widerstandskämpfer im Dritten Reich, Schriftsteller und Kommunalpolitiker.

Leben
Karl Ibach schloss sich als Sechzehnjähriger dem Kommunistischen Jugendverband und der KPD an. Er wollte Buchhändler werden, wurde aber im Frühjahr 1933 als jüngster Insasse in das Wuppertaler Konzentrationslager Kemna verschleppt, von wo er Ende 1933 entlassen wurde. Ibach setzte seinen Kampf gegen das NS-Regime fort und flüchtete in die Niederlande, wurde aber kurz nach seiner Rückkehr verhaftet und wenig später wegen angeblicher Vorbereitung zum Hochverrat in Hamm im Rahmen der Wuppertaler Gewerkschaftsprozesse zu einer achtjährigen Zuchthausstrafe verurteilt. Bis 1943 wurde er in Konzentrationslagern und Zuchthäusern – darunter das KZ Esterwegen, das KZ Börgermoor und das Zuchthaus Waldheim – festgehalten.

1943 musste er sich der Bewährungseinheit 999 anschließen; in dem Lager Heuberg wurde er gedrillt, um später das von ihm verhasste Regime an der Front zu verteidigen. Ibach geriet 1944 in sowjetische Kriegsgefangenschaft und wurde 1947 daraus entlassen. 1948 veröffentlichte er seine Erlebnisberichte aus dem KZ Kemna. Über drei Jahrzehnte sollten es zusammen mit Willi Weilers schriftlichen Berichten die einzigen publizierten Informationsquellen zur Geschichte des regionalen KZ-Systems bleiben.

Karl Ibach war Mitbegründer, Geschäftsführer und von 1950 bis 1971 Landesgeschäftsführer des Bundes der Verfolgten des Nazi-Regimes, und von 1954 bis 1969 stellvertretender Vorsitzender des Zentralverbandes demokratischer Widerstandskämpfer- und Verfolgtenorganisationen, und Mitglied im Präsidium der Fédération Internationale Libre des Déportés et Internés de la Résistance in Wuppertal-Barmen. Er war ab 1957 Mitglied der SPD und betreute den Wahlkreis 76, Landesliste Nordrhein-Westfalen von 1957 bis 1980.

6359.0 - Forms of Employment, Australia, November 2013 Quality Declaration
Latest ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 07/05/2014 Final
This publication presents information about the nature of employment arrangements in the Australian workforce. It also presents information about different types of employment which can be cross-classified by characteristics such as hours worked, industry, occupation, and demographic characteristics.
The statistics in this publication were compiled from data collected in the Forms of Employment Survey, conducted throughout Australia in November 2013 as a supplement to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) monthly Labour Force Survey (LFS). Questions were asked about employment arrangements in the main job of all employed people, except those who were contributing family workers in their main job.
FINAL ISSUE
As foreshadowed in the information paper, Outcomes of the Labour Household Surveys Content Review (cat. no. 6107.0), this is the final issue of Forms of Employment, Australia publication.
This publication will be replaced by a new publication titled Characteristics of Employment, Australia (cat. no. 6333.0). The first release of 6333.0 will be in respect of August 2014 and will be released in mid 2015.
CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE
From December 2012 to April 2013, the ABS conducted a trial of online data collection. Respondents in one rotation group (i.e. one-eighth of the survey sample) were offered the option of self completing their labour force survey questionnaire online instead of via face-to-face or telephone interview. From May 2013, ABS expanded the offer of online electronic collection to 50% of each new incoming rotation group. For more information see the article in the April 2013 issue of Labour Force, Australia (cat. no. 6202.0). From September 2013 online electronic collection is offered to 100% of private dwellings in each incoming rotation group.
A measurement strategy was used to identify impacts on the LFS data. No statistical impact has been identified.
As estimates have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between sums of the component items and totals.
For further information about these and related statistics, contact the National Information and Referral Service on 1300 135 070 or Labour Force and Supplementary Survey Section on Canberra (02) 6252 7206, email labour.statistics@abs.gov.au. The ABS Privacy Policy outlines how the ABS will handle any personal information that you provide to us.

Two French soldiers who entered the Central African Republic illegally « without a visa » have been arrested
According to concordant sources, the Central African police arrested on January 10 at the airport two French soldiers who entered the CAR without visas, but with MINUSCA badges, which have no legal status in the country. The question arises, what is the purpose of their illegal presence in the country?
These two French nationals landed without a visa, but they hold badges from the UN mission (MINUSCA) with an order for an assistance mission to the Burundian contingent. It should be noted that these French soldiers know the Central African Republic well, having served in Operation Sangaris in 2013 when the country was experiencing the most deadly political-military crisis in its history.
French shadow agents continue to seek to destabilize the Central African Republic in various ways. Central African police have arrested two French soldiers who entered the Central African Republic illegally.
The French passports of two men were confiscated in order to question them. The police investigation revealed that they knew the Central African Republic well, since they participated in the "Sangaris" operation in 2013, at a time when the Central African Republic was experiencing a dark political and military crisis.
According to police sources, the investigation is continuing with the two French soldiers in order to find out the reason for their presence in the Central African Republic, in particular after the departure of all the French soldiers from the country. Also What is the relationship of MINUSCA with them?
In fact, France has not accepted that the Central African Republic escapes its control and its colonization, and tries by all means to submit the government and create economic and political crises inside the country. But the government and the security forces continue to eliminate any external threat that jeopardizes the security of the country and the sovereignty of the State.
For the people of the Central African Republic, Operation Sangaris symbolizes a dark period in the country's history. The French army has committed several human crimes against innocent citizens, such as sexual abuse of minors. Without any French soldier being held responsible for what was committed against the victims.

Q: What kinds of search solutions are there for an iPhone app? I'm having some difficulty determining what search solution to use in my new iPhone application. The data structure I have is a hierarchy plist that describes a table of contents that link to an HTML file stored locally. I only have two levels in the TOC (Chapter and Section) so it nicely fits into a UITableView with headers and cells. The main content is the text in the HTML files. I want to have a separate view that would allow someone to search for words and have it return relevant documents (In this case sections as described in the plist). All this data is hard coded in the application (it doesn't change) so hard coding an compiled index into the application is acceptable. There are a few ideas I had. But want opinions on the best and easiest way to implement a search algorithm on an iPhone.
== Reverse word indexing ==
I scan the HTML documents for relevant words and store them in a flat file (plist) with an array of references to those files per word.
Problem is this doesn't help with more than one word or document relevancy.
== Vector Space Search ==
This seems like a great idea but the logistics on how to implement such a thing seems quite complex especially for a simplistic iPhone application that displays a table of contents and a set of pages. Any ideas on how to implement such a thing?
What recommendations are out there for an iPhone application?

A: Lucene is decent, and probably easier than writing it yourself.


Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. He was just about to get Ruoye to try again and grab onto something else, when he suddenly felt the white silk go slack around his wrist. Immediately, Xie Lian was overcome with a sense of dread.
This abrupt feeling wasn't because Ruoye had loosened its grip on the other end, but because something worse had occurred.
Sure enough, that shade of red from the ground suddenly got a lot closer. It didn't take long before it was within arm's reach.
San Lang also got drawn into the sandstorm!
The moment he opened his mouth, he ate another mouthful of sand. With the way things were at this time, he had long become used to eating a mouthful of sand here and there.
Although he had shouted at San Lang to not panic, in reality, even he had felt that San Lang wouldn't have panicked at all. Sure enough, after the young man had been caught in the air, Ruoye quickly retracted and pulled the two of them closer together.
Xie Lian got a good look at San Lang's face. The expression on the boy's face didn't have even half an ounce of panic. Almost as if he would be able to read a book serenely even amidst the sandstorm, as long as he was given one. In fact, Xie Lian began to suspect whether or not San Lang had deliberately intended for himself to get rolled up into the air.
Thus, Ruoye flew out again. This time, what Ruoye had grabbed onto was……Nan Feng and Fu Yao!
Nan Feng and Fu Yao, who were still on the ground below, naturally wanted to support them. The both of them stood their ground, but it was to no avail. The sandstorm was just too wild and fierce. Not long after and to no one's surprise, yet another two shadows got rolled up into the tornado.
Going against the frenzied tornado, Ruoye retracted with great speed. The four figures rapidly sped away from the wind pillar. Gradually, amidst the yellow sand in the sky, Xie Lian was able to perceive the black outline of a semi circle below them.
This outline was massive, and was approximately the size of a small temple. In fact, the other end of Ruoye was precisely coiled around such a thing. And only after they got closer to the ground did he finally see it more clearly; that thing was a giant stone.
Within a sandstorm of this degree, this piece of stone was like a firm and silent fortress. It was undoubtedly an excellent shelter against the strong winds.
It turned out that the side of the rock that was protected from the wind had a hole. The hole was about two doors wide, while the height was slightly shorter than one. But it was sufficiently large enough for an adult to enter, as long as they bent down and bowed their heads. The entrance wasn't neatly made, and was rather crooked. However, it didn't appear like it was formed naturally, so it was more probable that someone had casually carved out this artificial entrance.
Once Xie Lian entered, he discovered that the rock was carved out to be almost completely hollow. The space within the cave didn't seem to be small, but it was relatively dark. Xie Lian didn't immediately explore the entire place, and instead sat down on an area that was illuminated by the light streaming in from the outside. He brushed off the yellow sand on Ruoye before wrapping it back around his wrist.
Nan Feng and Fu Yao were both spitting out sand. Sand had gotten into their mouth, eyes and ears, so it was needless to mention the folds within their clothes. Shedding their clothes and giving it a good shake had resulted in a heavy stream of sand and stone.
Amongst the four of them, the one that looked the least affected was still San Lang. After he had bent over and entered the cave, he dusted off a few specs of dust on his red attire, but nothing more. This was done more for show and out of courtesy. With the exception of his hair being slightly dishevelled and his ponytail being combed lopsided, his happy attitude didn't seem to have been affected at all. In addition, that lopsided hairstyle of his was originally combed crooked by Xie Lian. Hence, even if it became more crooked, it didn't really matter in the slightest.
Nan Feng wiped his face twice before breaking out in curses. Xie Lian dumped out the sand within his bamboo hat before sighing, "Ah~ I truly hadn't expected you guys to get blown into the air too. Why didn't you guys use the Thousand Pound Spell?
"What?" Xie Lian lowered his head first before he got up. Only then did he discover that the place he was sitting on was a stone slate.
Sure enough, after wiping off the dust, there were indeed words written on the slate. However, they were engraved relatively faintly, so the words weren't very visible. Half the slate was still buried within the sand. The writing extended upwards from the ground, while fading into the darkness.
Nan Feng snapped his fingers. Instantly, a flame appeared on top of his palm. Xie Lian unintentionally glanced at San Lang, who didn't seem surprised at the sight. After all, the boy had already witnessed the 'Shrink a Thousand Miles' array. Xie Lian felt that, no matter what either side revealed to each other in the future, no one would be surprised.
This was a play on words that had both me and my translation checker in tears when we tried translating it. What happened was that Xie Lian said '人', which is a broad word in Chinese for 'person'. For example, it can also mean 'people (plural)', 'man', 'woman', 'human', etc. However, Ruoye understood it as the meaning 'human/mortal', which can be considered as one of the most literal translations of the word. That's why it grabbed onto both Fu Yao and Nan Feng; because they're gods, not mortal.
Thank you for the new chapter. We appreciate your troubles to go through the exams and translate the series. I hope you do well in your midterms!
Thank you for the chapter! Our scrap collector is an amazing person!
as always thank you for the chapter!!!
Ahh, this chapter was specially funny, everyone tumbling around in the tornado. XD But San Lang all proper and calm, hehe.
Our scrap collector has been everywhere _(:3//) XD thanks for the chapter!
Shocks! I've been waiting for this scene! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nan Feng and Fu Yao.
Thanks for the chapter! And good luck in your exam.
Because they are not what they pretend to be.
So that means XL figured out that it's them? Thanks for explaining!
This chapter was so incredibly funny. The difference between Hua Cheng's unruffled appearance and the two generals spitting sand and trying so hard to prove he's evil is like night and day, I was giggling the whole way through. Your translations are so good at conveying the mood of a scene, it pulls me in every time! Thank you for all your hard work, good luck with the exams!
I need to say a few things and I apologise if any of them is a little too rude.
First thank you for the translation.
Second maybe it is better if you exchange roles and the checker become the translator, as happened with this chapter.
I respect your hard work, but this book is 250 chapters and you upload half or one chapter once a month, it will take years before you finish it, if you finish it.
And usually is hard to wait a week, to not talk for a month or more. And it is shameful as this book is really good and I want to read it all sooner than later. Not in a matter of years, one loses interest if it takes that long.
Sorry, but please try updating faster than once a month.
I think they have other novels working on that's why it takes so long. In either way I'm grateful for their effort and time.

The Victorian School
The School from the air (1971)
You can see that in this picture the mobile hasn't yet arrived, the outside toilets were still in use and some of our field was the garden for the old school house.
The School was built in 1853 at a cost of 250, and enlarged in 1875 to hold 160 children at a further cost of 300.
Next to the School was the Schoolhouse and garden, the Schoolmasters lived here until it was sold to the Pretty family who were owners of the garage. It is now used as the office and staff room with the upstairs used for storage.
During the Second World War evacuees from Dagenham, Essex came to the village and stayed with the local families. This meant that the Scole children only went to School for half days and the evacuees went the other half. The evacuees also brought their own teachers with them.
Over the years there has been many changes at the School, the mobile which is now used for Class 2 was added some time in the 1970's. In the 1980s another mobile was added to be used as the canteen, until then the children walked down to the Church Hall.
In 1995 the outside toilets were demolished to make way for the School Hall this also included new toilets and cloakrooms. The Hall is also used as a canteen and meant that the mobile previously used was removed.
In 2005 a new classroom and Library was built adjoining the hall. This enabled the School to go to four classes.
In the summer of 2012 major refurbishment of Class 1 and the ICT suite was undertaken. This has resulted in an improved learning environment for our reception children and an area specifically for intervention work and cooking.
For the academic year 2012-2013 the school is divided into 4 classes;
Class 1 – Reception class
Class 2 – Year 1 and 2

It is no secret that design classics can make timeless gifts to suit even the pickiest gift recipients during the holidays. From mid-century modern marvels to contemporary creations by renowned international designers, here are our picks for this holiday season's must-have design staples that are sure to endure the test of time and inject some panache into every household.
A perfect way to add style to any dining table, Herman Miller's Maharam placemats can set the tone for the holiday season with unmistakable quality that is signature to the textile company's brand. Featuring iconic Eames and Alexander Girard designs, the placemats are sophisticated and playful at the same time, bringing colourful, abstract geometry into mealtime statement pieces.
Konstantin Grcic's cast-iron mule for Magis is a celebration of the brand's resilient and whimsical personality in an ornamental piece that is, at once, a stylish doorstop, book stand, paper weight and a unique decoration for any home. For the holiday season, the limited edition Ettore, featuring the signature of the designer, is a fun and functional addition to any design enthusiast's residence with its iconic shape and form, perfectly capturing the spirit of Magis.
Suitable for kids and kids-at-heart, the Magis Happy Bird is a perfect gift to add some stylish playfulness to a home. A part of the Me Too collection for Magis created by designer Eero Aarnio, the Happy Bird chair is a toy and an unconventional seat that encourages imaginative and creative play. Happy Bird is available in a special colour combination available exclusively at XTRA.
Transcending the label of ordinary barware, Tom Dixon's Tank Series brings the sophistication of simple geometric forms and exquisite materials to a collection of glassware designs fit for a refined drink ceremonial. Made from mouth-blown clear glass and finished with liquid gold and colourants, hand painted with copper detailing, the collection is intuitively functional, bearing the unmistakably Dixon-esque essence of style and simple geometry that make the bespoke barware stand in a league of its own.
The second scent collection by Tom Dixon is a celebration of the four classical elements found in nature – earth, fire, air and water. Each scent, designed to transform any space into a tantalising olfactory journey, is a unique composition made to reflect the individualistic character of each element and a true gift for the purists at heart who will enjoy the scents' minimalist attitude.
One of the most prominent figures in American design, Alexander Girard originally designed the colourful, decorative company of wooden dolls for his home in Santa Fe. Inspired by the works of popular art, the wooden dolls are half toys, half decorative elements that can serve as charming and quirky additions to any home interior.
A perfect accessory for a child's room, the iconic Eames Elephant is an indoor-outdoor toy that is sure to awaken the creative instincts of a budding young designer-to-be. Originally developed by Charles and Ray Eames in plywood and now manufactured in plastic, the chair is an instant eye-catcher, appeasing to the kids as a fun-shaped and colourful toy and to adults as a well-recognised Eames classic, in and out of a child's room.
Majestic in its blown opal matt glass and brass base, the irresistible Aballs lamp exudes allure with its sensuous shape that combines unparalleled craftsmanship and traditional art of hand blown glass. Designed by Jamie Hayon for Parachilna, the lamp stands out as a decorative lighting piece of a hard-to-match quality, enhancing any modern interior with its timeless shape and smooth glowing finish.
