There has been some controversy about the opening up of the domain naming system to allow self-administered personalised top level domains, but applications for registration can be filed from this week. It will now be possible, for example, for us to register .LES so that our address could be LES-BI.LES and we could sell off use of .LES to others. Of course it won't be as easy as that. There is a $185,000 fee to pay, administrative procedures have to be set up, and there is a protracted application procedure, which means that it will be 2013 before new domains can go live. But it all promises interesting days ahead in the world of IP rights.

Wolfgang Schaeuble: "If Muslim Migrants Don't Like Europe, Go Elsewhere"
Germany's finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble did everything in his power to infuriate three distinct groups of people today.
First, in a statement that may infuriate several million German immigrants, Schaeuble said that Muslims who migrate to Europe should understand that there are better places for them to live if they do not want to accept the European way of life.
Such migrants who do not accept Europe's way of living should be told "you have made the wrong decision", Schaeuble said during a round table discussion in Berlin. "There are better places in the world to live under Islamic law than Europe," he added. It was not clear if he was envisioning the US as one of the fallback plans for the millions of migrants Angela Merkel's open door policies greeted with open arms in 2015.
Then, taking a veiled swipe at some 7 million Greeks, Schauble said that if European countries want to keep the euro, they must implement the common currency's framework of joint responsibility.
Finally, taking a shot at a substantial portion of the French population, the finance minister said that Germany needs a strong, pro-European France to hold together the European project, veteran German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Wednesday, less than two weeks out from the first round of the French presidential election.
The comments from Schaeuble once again confirmed the German government's revulsion to National Front presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, who wants to abandon the euro currency and is expected to go through to a run-off vote. A success for Le Pen, and a redenomination of the French franc, would lead to disaster for the euro and likely result in a return to the Deutsche Mark, ending the cheap currency benefits Germany gets from participating in the common currency.
"We need a strong France ... we need a pro-European France," Schaeuble said during a round table discussion in Berlin quoted by Reuters. "We need France to hold together Europe."
"I hope Le Pen does not become French president," he added, seemingly unhappy with the democratic process in France.
It wasn't just Le Pen, however, as Schauble also took aim at the far left: "Le Pen, Melanchon in the second round would be a nightmare", the finance minister added.
On Tuesday, Schaeuble said that polls show French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron will likely to enter second round voting and win the presidency, and added that he would "probably" vote for former Rothschild banker.
France votes in the first round of its presidential election in less than two weeks, on April 23, with the top two placed candidates going head-to-head on May 7. Earlier on Wednesday, an Ifop-Fiducial poll showed Le Pen leading narrowly in the first round, but likely to lose the run-off to centrist Emmanuel Macron.
Reiterating Berlin's need for France to play a full role in the European Union, which was stunned by Britain's vote last June to leave the bloc, Schaeuble added: "Germany cannot lead Europe alone."
"That doesn't work, that is completely clear," he said. "We need France at least as much as France needs us." Germany had a responsibility to lead in Europe due to its "geostrategic position", Schaeuble said, but added: "Some people expect too much of us ... politically, we are not as strong as France." To millions of European that may be the best news of the day.


At least 50 people are reported to have died after floods and landslides hit the Burundi capital, Bujumbura.
The BBC's Cyiriaque Muhawenayo in the city says it is not yet possible to give accurate figures because bodies may be hidden in the mud or under debris.
One man said he had lost nine relatives.
Our correspondent says the main hospital's morgue is full, and that people are being treated outside.
Water and mud flooding down from hills outside the city have washed away hundreds of houses, according to police.
"The rain that fell in torrents overnight on the capital caused a disaster," Security Minister Gabriel Nizigama told reporters.
"We have already found the bodies of 51 people killed when their houses collapsed or were swept away," he said.
The AFP news agency reports that torrential rain fell for 10 hours overnight and caused widespread power cuts.
Roads and crops have also been destroyed.
Bujumbura is on a plain that lies between a range of hills and Lake Tanganyika.

Griffin and Justin McElroy Depart Polygon
Griffin McElroy, Polygon:
With that sage wisdom in mind, it's time for us — Griffin and Justin, who have, for the purposes of this introduction, fused into a singular, fraternal hivemind — to announce some big and bittersweet news: This Friday will be our last day as full-time employees at Polygon.
We've written our own individual letters below, but understand that everyone's attention span might not sustain them through both; especially now that you know we're leaving, and our relevance to you slips away like so many grains of sand through the hourglass. So, here's a TL;DR, as the kids say: We're leaving to focus on our other projects, and to have more time to live functional human lives. We're gonna keep doing Monster Factory on some kind of recurring basis, as well as a couple other of our pre-existing Polygon projects. Our departure is completely amicable — so, SORRY, beef-hunters. No beef to be found here. This exit is strictly vegetarian.
Now that we've spoiled all the big surprises, here's our individual takes. Thank you all so much.
This one hurts.
When my wife and I moved to San Francisco for my job, I felt alone when outside of her company. On my commute or wandering the city, I'd listen to Polygon's The Besties with Griffin and Justin McElroy, Russ Frushtick, and Chris Plante. Their humor and camaraderie comforted me. On one episode, I caught wind that Griffin and Justin had another podcast: My Brother, My Brother, and Me. It was a treasure trove of wit and goofs; things that helped me through my days.
Even with their plethora of amazing and innovative endeavors outside of games journalism, I will always associate Griffin and Justin with Polygon. They're perspectives and writing are exceptional. I always looked forward to their articles.
But the writing was on the wall. Their bylines on Polygon.com appeared with decreasing frequency, while their amount of "side-projects" began to seemingly multiply.
In their departure letters, they both reflect on Polygon's editor-in-chief Chris Grant's friendship — how he helped kick off their games journalism journey. It's amazing to see how much adoration is paid to Grant for his support and willingness to allow them to balance their dream job while pursuing other endeavors.
The piece of this news that hits the hardest comes from Justin's letter. It speaks to the heart and humanity I believe the folks behind Polygon harbor. It also speaks to why I write Zero Counts and the countless other blogs I left in its wake:
So for years, I wrote for myself. I created and maintained no fewer than three different blogs with a readership of, statistically speaking, nobody. I pitched myself to every major gaming site and magazine and was ignored by all of them. But I kept applying, kept pitching, and was eventually ignored by almost all of them. After a few years, I was able to cobble something that looked like a resume in dim light, and things got a bit easier.
The call that changed my life though came from Chris Grant, the EIC of Joystiq who remembered liking my submissions when I had applied for a job (six months prior, didn't get it, natch). He was reminded of my existence after I emailed him trying to get Joystiq to post about some videos I had made about a laserdisc lightgun game featuring prop comedian Gallagher. I owe Gallagher so much that I'll never be able to repay.
I'm happy for Griffin and Justin and look forward to supporting their other adventures. But this one hurts.
Godspeed, boys.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen on another transfer raid on Chelsea for midfielder N'Golo Kante after signing Alvaro Morata this January.
The Spanish giants are being linked with this rather ambitious move by Don Balon, who state Atletico seem to want to try their luck with this move due to the good relationship between the two clubs.
Kante has been a hugely important player for Chelsea since he joined the club from Leicester City in 2016, helping them win the Premier League title in his first season and picking up the PFA Player of the Year award in the process.
It seems highly unlikely Chelsea would let such a key player leave, unlike Morata, who had been a major disappointment at Stamford Bridge before his departure.
Kante may not be playing in his preferred role this season after Maurizio Sarri decided to try him in a more advanced midfield role, but to his credit he seems to be making the most of it and showing some improvement as time goes on.
Still, could a move to play under Diego Simeone and perhaps return to his more natural position be tempting for the France international?
Kante, however, only recently signed a new contract with the Blues, so they'll be under little pressure to let him go.

Little Nellie Kelly is a 1940 American musical-comedy film based on the stage musical of the same title by George M. Cohan which was a hit on Broadway in 1922 and 1923.  The film was written by Jack McGowan and directed by Norman Taurog. Its cast included Judy Garland, George Murphy, Charles Winninger and Douglas McPhail.

The film is notable for containing Judy Garland's only on-screen death scene, but she re-appears in the film as the daughter of the character who died.

Plot
In Ireland, Jerry Kelly (George Murphy) marries his sweetheart Nellie Noonan (Judy Garland) over the objections of her ne'er-do-well father Michael Noonan (Charles Winninger), who swears never to speak to Jerry again, even though he reluctantly accompanies the newlyweds to the U.S., where Jerry becomes a policeman, and all three become citizens. Michael continues to hold his grudge against Jerry, even when Nellie dies shortly after giving birth to her daughter, also named Nellie.

Years later, Jerry is now a captain on the police force, and little Nellie (also played by Judy Garland) has grown up as the spitting image of her mother. Michael dotes on his granddaughter but is embarrassed when she sings in public at the police department parade (It's a Great Day for the Irish). He uses a supposed weak heart, for which he takes a tot of whiskey from a medicine bottle, to get his way with little Nellie and to avoid work. When Nellie becomes enamored of Dennis Fogarty (Douglas McPhail), the son of Michael's old friend Timothy Fogarty (Arthur Shields), the conflict in the home intensifies. Jerry is happy for her, but Michael objects to the romance, and when Nellie, encouraged by her father, finally stands up to him,  he leaves home.

Eventually, the three generations are reconciled, and Nellie and Dennis remain a couple.

Cast
 Judy Garland as Nellie Noonan Kelly and as Little Nellie Kelly
 George Murphy as Jerry Kelly
 Charles Winninger as Michael "Mike" Noonan
 Douglas McPhail as Dennis Fogarty
 Arthur Shields as Timothy Fogarty
 Rita Page as Mrs. Mary Fogarty
 Forrester Harvey as Moriarity
 James Burke as Police Sergeant McGowan
 George Watts as Mr. Keevan, NYC Bar Owner

Songs
Judy Garland sings a swing version of "Singin' in the Rain" more than 10 years before Gene Kelly famously sang it in his film Singin' in the Rain (1952) as well as sings several newer songs, including the traditional "A Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow" sung partly in Irish-Gaelic. There are also two production numbers, one set at the New York City Policeman's Ball and the other written by Roger Edens. In the latter, Garland sings "It's A Great Day for the Irish" while marching in New York City's St. Patrick's Day Parade. This song became one of Garland's bigger hits.

Songs cut from the film include "Rings on Your Fingers and Bells on Your Toes" (used in Garland's later film Babes on Broadway, 1941), "Danny Boy" and "How Can You Buy Killarney".

Production
After the success of The Wizard of Oz (1939), the film was a "test" by MGM to evaluate both Garland's audience appeal and her physical image. It was rumored at the time that George M Cohan sold the rights expressly as a vehicle for Garland. The film gave 18-year-old Garland the opportunity to grow up as she is in the first half of the picture set in Ireland, in which she plays Nellie Noonan, the mother of Little Nellie Kelly. Although called "a bit of Blarney", overall the film was well-received. Critics noted Garland "gets prettier with each picture".

Box office
According to MGM records, the film earned $968,000 in the U.S. and Canada and $1,078,000 in other markets, resulting in a profit of $680,000.

Home media
The film was released on DVD on March 15, 2011.

Risen Christ in our hearts and souls is essential for being Christian.
For if the risen Christ in not spiritually in our hearts and souls, and in the way we live, He is not evident in our lives or in the eyes of God.
This kind of living faith is more than simply believing; it is a life changing experience that makes us new beings in our risen Christ, and this is what makes Jesus Lord of our lives.
James is expressing the difference between simply believing, and having a risen Christ in our hearts and souls.
46. "And why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
This is the same kind of faith and works that James wrote about, and why it is essential for the risen Christ to be in our hearts and souls; we must act upon Jesus' words.
48. he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood rose, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
49. "But the one who has heard, and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house upon the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."
So as we look at the story of the risen Christ, we need to weigh in our heart and soul whether or not He truly resides in us.
1. And when the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
The women were following the Hebrew tradition in the world around them.
This is not part of their spiritual journey, for if it was, they would have known that Jesus had already risen and that there would be no body to anoint.
This is also part of their worldly way of thinking; they had not yet come to the realization that Jesus had already risen.
We're not used to seeing angels either, so we can understand their amazement.
Then the angel explains the truth to them.
6. And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.
This is the point where we also should have the risen Christ in our hearts and souls.
Do we have this belief and faith so that the risen Christ is part of everything we are and do?
So the angel tells them what to do.
7. "But go, tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He said to you.' "
This expresses the problem that most people have; they didn't yet have the risen Christ in their hearts and souls, which is evident by the fear in their lives.
For if the risen Christ was in their hearts and souls, they would have also been filled to overflowing with God's heavenly love, and this love would have overcome all of their fear, and they would be rejoicing at the good news, and would have gone and told everyone they could.
This love and faith with works is where we should also be.
And in this state of being, we should be living as the peacemaking children of God that Jesus called us to be, and as these children of God we should be actively helping to free creation (humans, animals, and the environment) from its present corruption.
One of the easiest ways to tell whether or not we have the risen Christ is by looking at what is on our plates; if they contain the remains of a once living being, then we probably don't have the risen Christ in our heart and soul, for there is no evidence of our having a changed life in the heavenly will of God.
In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Paul writes about the good news of the risen Christ and his role as a Christian leader.
We have all done some ungodly things before Jesus entered our lives, but it is what we do afterwards that shows God and those around us that we have indeed truly repented and are living a changed life.
This is what happened to Paul.
Paul is describing having the risen Christ in his heart and soul.
And we hope that all of us truly believe, too, and that we also have the risen Christ with us, for this is what our celebration of this Resurrection Day is all about.
It is not about dyeing Easter eggs, for that is being immoral and cruel to chickens.
It is not about eating milk chocolate bunny rabbits, for that is being immoral and cruel to cows.
It is not about having the roasted dead body of some animal on your table, for that is immoral and cruel to those animals.
For, we cannot be immoral and cruel if the risen Christ is in our hearts and souls.
This is the way true children of God, who are living in the heavenly will of God, show themselves to be here on earth.
They are living examples of the heavenly will of God here on earth as it is in heaven, just as Jesus taught us to pray for.
These are the people that are helping to free creation from its present corruption.
These are the people who show the world around them this Resurrection Day, and every day, that the risen Christ is in their hearts and souls.
And we hope and pray that this is the way that all who hear or read these words are now living their own lives.

Q: how to add two restriction on datafetch in hibernate  public User findUser(String email) {

A: The add(Criteria) method returns itself (this) to allow for chaining.
public User findUser(String email) {
    User user = null;
    Criteria c = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(User.class);

    //You can chain the add method, because it returns `this`.
    c = c.add(Restrictions.eq("email", email)).add(Restrictions.eq("active", 1));
    return (User) c.uniqueResult();

Foreign Minister Steinmeier joins a Syrian refugee family for the breaking of the Muslim fast
19.07.2014 - Press release
On the evening of 21 July, Foreign Minister Steinmeier will visit a Syrian refugee family in Berlin for the traditional breaking of the Muslim fast (iftar). The family was admitted to Germany at the end of 2013 under the First National Programme for refugees from Syria.
Foreign Minister Steinmeier said:
For Muslims, the importance of Ramadan, the month of fasting, goes far beyond fasting from sunrise to sunset. Solidarity within the family also plays an important role during this month. The fact that millions of Syrian families have been torn apart by the war is an additional tragic burden during Ramadan. Many Germans sympathise with the plight of these families, and the admission of Syrian refugees to Germany via federal and Länder programmes is an expression of our solidarity.
According to estimates by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over three million people have had to flee Syria as a result of the conflict in the country. Most of them have fled to the neighbouring countries of Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.
Since 2013, the German Government has offered admission programmes for up to 20,000 Syrian refugees. The Länder also have their own admission programmes. Including people admitted through asylum procedures, over 47,000 refugees from Syria have found shelter in Germany since 2011.
Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims do not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset during this month. The breaking of the fast (iftar) each evening is traditionally celebrated in the family or with guests.

The Deloitte Global M&A Index Q4 2015
2016: Opportunities amidst divergence
This is the latest Deloitte Global M&A Index report published by the Deloitte Global M&A Services Team. This Report is a forward-looking indicator that forecasts future global M&A deal volumes and identifies the factors influencing conditions for deal making.
Key points highlighted in this edition include:
We are expecting 2015 to end with over $4 trillion worth of deals making it the highest for deal values since 2007. However, on a last-twelve-months (LTM) basis, there was a slowdown in the volume of transactions in the second half of 2015.
Cross-border deals are a major feature of this M&A wave. More than $1 trillion worth of cross-border deals have been announced so far this year, of which a third were in the vibrant deal corridor between North America and Europe. In addition, new corridors have started emerging between Asia and Europe, led by China and Japan, and are likely to continue in 2016.
The threat of "disruptive innovation" is impacting the traditional products and markets of many financial services companies. In response they are launching venture funds to seek and invest in new sources of innovation, which could lead to smaller, but more strategic deals.
As this record-breaking year (i.e. 2015) draws to a close, concerns over global growth are back, along with divergence in economic and monetary policies. Looking ahead, we expect such divergence to create M&A opportunities and define deal making in 2016.

I have started another block for my lace quilt. If you look carefully I have started some embroidery but there is still lots to go! I am progressing but it feels slow. The blocks are 7 inches square but I have been doing these for a while and there is always a bit of hump with big projects I think I am hitting one with this quilt!
I do enjoy following progress on other's projects.
I am still working on my Jan. cq project. It still needs a bit more work though. Hopefully it will be finished soon!
This is a lovely tone-on-tone block with lots of pretty lace. I hope the comments on your block cheers you on and help you to conquer this hump!
Nice block! The large piece of lace, part of a doily(?) is almost a piece in itself. Don't give up!
Can't imagine enough lace to make a quilt. Yummy.
I'm not familiar with that frame. Thanks for the review.
My crazy WIP (amongst other more sane WIPs) is my Crazy Basket Case lap quilt.

Business books: Think and Grow Rich (Napoleon Hill)
insider.co.uk
The title certainly sounds a better - and easier - idea than Work Like A Dog and Be Comfortable, right?
But in fact Napoleon Hill's 200-page self-help book offers no short-cut to the world of the super wealthy.
Of course, if you're a little stupid you might think that a book first published 80 years ago can't possibly have much to say to today's go-getting entrepreneurs.
But Hill's work isn't regularly quoted in lists of best business books of all time for nothing.
In fact, its advice is as relevant today as it ever was, mainly because it concentrates on the psychological barriers to your ambition to amass enough money to retire at 30 (or indeed, at any age before you die).
"Wishing will not bring riches," Hill writes. "But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches."
So there's more to success than dreaming up the next Snapchat and moaning when someone else gets there first. A harsh but necessary lesson.

After the defeat of the O'Neills and the subsequent emigration of most of the native leaders at the start of the seventeenth century, Fermanagh was incorporated into the Plantation of Ulster, and an influx of English and Scottish settlers took place. The colonization was less successul than elsewhere in the north, however, and a majority of the population remains Roman Catholic.
Upper and Lower Lough Erne, a unique maze of channels, islands, waterways and semi-connected lakes, cover a large part of the surface of the county. The locals say "in summer Lough Erne is in Fermanagh; in winter Fermanagh is in Lough Erne".
Of all the surnames associated with the county one stands out: Maguire. From the time of its first firm establishment, in Lisnaskea around the start of the thirteenth century, all the associations of the family have been with Fermanagh. By the start of the fourteenth century, the chief of the family, Donn Carrach Maguire, was ruler of the entire county, and for the following three hundred years there were no fewer than 15 Maguire chieftains of the territory. By the year 1600, what is now Co. Fermanagh quite simply belonged to the family. It is still the single most common surname in the county.
Other names common in the county include Lunney, Rooney, McGovern, Muldoon, McGoldrick, McCartan, Johnston, Nixon, Ferguson and Irvine.


Which song is the best from POCAHONTAS?
*Because some Disney animated classics have only one or no songs, and I want to ignore the WWII "package" features, the following films will be left out from the game: Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, The Black Cauldron, The Rescuers Down Under, Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
Just watched my old 1996 VHS and to be honest, although I find it weak when compared with masterpieces like TLK and Aladdin, I'm not as negative to the film as before. It's got great songs, nice characters, excellent animation and the story is pretty good although it pales in comparison with the other animated classics. What's more, I found myself almost crying at the ending. "Colors of the Wind" is the best song here. "If I Never Knew You" is also excellent; I hope it will be integrated into the film in the upcoming SE. And "Mine, Mine, Mine" is so fun.
I like "Colors of the Wind", "Just Around the Riverbend", and "If I Never Knew You"...perhaps in that order.
If I never knew you !
Mine is Colours Of The Wind.
My favorite is Just Around The River Bend.

The third-party revocation action is a new system established in the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China of 2012. Although the academic community is quite controversial, it is undeniable that due to the increasing use of the judicial system to infringe on the rights and interests of others. For example, infringement of the lawful rights and interests of the parties or third parties through false litigation, malicious litigation, imposing litigation, etc., the third-party revocation action as a system that can effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of third parties outside the case has great practical significance in China. Therefore, how to better understand and apply the third-party revocation system has become a problem that must be paid attention to by the current theoretical and practical circles. On the basis of introducing the system of revocation of the third party in China, the article discusses the existing problems such as the scope of the parties, the litigation procedure and the application of similar procedures.The article proposes that the third party with independent claim and the third party without independent claim should be brought into the scope of the third-party revocation action's subject. As for the choice of the procedure, the procedure of first instance should be applied to the trial of the third-party revocation action. When a lawsuit and an application for retrial by an outsider can be applied simultaneously, the litigant can only be allowed to choose one procedure. If the litigant simultaneously initiates a lawsuit for cancellation by a third party and the outsider applies for retrial, the third-party revocation action shall be applied preferentially.

Background and Aim: Rheumatic fever is still a common cause of acquired heart disease in children and young adult in many developing countries. The aim was to investigate the role of myocardial involvement in the hemodynamic changes in patients with acute rheumatic fever using cardiac troponin assay and echocardiography. Design: A prospective cohort study was designed. Patients and Methods: Thirty-four children with acute rheumatic fever, 20 with carditis, and 14 without carditis. Level of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and echocardiographic measurement of left ventricular function were the main outcome measure. Results: The level of cardiac troponin in children with carditis was 0.051 ± 0.01 ng/dL, and it was 0.039 ± 0.02 ng/dL in those without carditis. The difference is not signifi cant. In addition, there was no signifi cant difference between the children with carditis and those without carditis regarding left ventricular ejection and shortening fractions. Conclusion: There are no signifi cant echocardiographic measurements abnormalities or cTnT levels elevation suggesting clinically relevant hemodynamic abnormalities due to myocardial involvement during acute rheumatic fever.

We are now seeking to fill the position of Ecotourism, Sales & Marketing Coordinator to further develop and promote awareness of our ecotourism projects. The elephants are our biggest focus, but we need someone with sales and marketing skills to bring awareness to their plight and also profile the work we are doing to an international audience.
Sales. The main focus of the job is sell the EVP product. The more income we can generate from our ecotourism program, the more funding we have for elephant and forest conservation! You will communicate with booking partners for the EVP and manage the bookings system. This includes answering booking emails, updating availability, schedules and working with the ground crew each day. You will also be in charge of maintaining relationships with key booking partners, developing new product and pitching new sales partners.
Marketing. On the marketing and communications side of things you will help to compile marketing collateral, website content and weekly social media content for both the EVP and the Hub. A keen eye and design flare will be beneficial.
Ecotourism Centre. At the Hefalump Café, you will coordinate the running of the Hub, including representing and promoting all ecotourism projects in the centre, managing the finances, supporting and training local staff on hospitality, sales and marketing, while also developing other local partnerships and facilitating centre events.
Elephants 🙂 As we have many groups of visitors, this position will also act as the back up forest and elephant assistant where together with the local guide, you will take visitors and volunteers to view the elephants in the forests of EVP, providing an interpretive educational tour. You will also be asked to stay onsite at the sanctuary on a rotation basis, mingling with guests and volunteers and running night time activites.
The position will be based at the Hefalump Café – The Hub in Sen Monorom, working Sun-Fri, with some time spent at the EVP as well as also visiting partners in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. We can offer a local salary that is enough to support yourself here in Mondulkiri. An initial commitment of 1 year is required, however we would prefer a 2 year commitment. We are looking for someone to start late May/Early June 2019. Although this is a town based position, you will visit the EVP and elephants at the sanctuary many times, as we all wear many hats here and sometimes need all hands on deck.


We had a very pleasant stay here. The campground is very clean and well maintained. It's in a great location, close to the Atlantic Ocean beaches and the Daytona Speedway. Orlando is only about an hour away via I-4.
There are some nice amenities including a heated pool, a large clubhouse, and a nicely stocked campstore. Their camping cabins a cute too! They have community game nights, bingo, line dancing, happy hours, karaoke and they are one of the few RV parks in Florida to still allow campfires.
There are 235 full-hookup sites, mostly on sandy grass, with concrete patios and picnic tables. The bathrooms and laundry room were very clean.
A word of advice… it gets very crowded on race weekends and when there are special events in Daytona, so expect it to get a little noisy. Other than that it's a great little campground.

Messier 79 (also known as M79 or NGC 1904) is a globular cluster in the southern constellation Lepus. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and is about 42,000 light-years away from Earth and 60,000 light years from the Galactic Center.

Like Messier 54 (the other extragalactic globular on Messier's list), it is believed to not be native to the Milky Way galaxy at all, but instead to the putative Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, which is currently experiencing a very close encounter with our galaxy. This is, however, a contentious subject as astronomers are still debating the nature of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy itself.

The cluster is being disrupted by the galactic tide, trailing a long tidal tail.

Color-magnitude diagram

This color-magnitude diagram was made using near-infrared images of the cluster in J and K bands. J-band magnitude is plotted along the y-axis and J to K dominant color is plotted along the x-axis. Such a diagram is made rapidly with specialized code for crowded-field photometry.

From this, it is evident that most of the bright stars in this cluster are red giants. The elongated branch is the red giant branch. Some of the stars in the diagram, including those extending outward from the red giant branch toward the upper left, are actually foreground stars that are not members of the cluster.

Altogether three regions of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram are present here: the low-mass end of the main sequence, the complete red giant branch and the horizontal branch. Compared to optical bands, in infrared bands the lower main sequence is shallower and the horizontal branch is steeper (the blue end is fainter and the red end is brighter).

If you are registered for online appointments please click here to make an appointment.
We do appreciate that patients need to plan their routine appointments for medication reviews etc, and there will be appointments slots set aside for advance bookings up to four weeks ahead. If the doctor asks to see you on a weekly or monthly basis for a follow-up of your treatment, this will also be accommodated and should preferably be arranged at reception before leaving the surgery.
Weekday routine doctor appointments range from 8.30am to 1.30pm and 2.00 to 6.00pm.
The Whiteley Surgery also offers later (pre-booked only) evening appointments on a Monday and Thursday and also alternate Saturday mornings.
If you have more than one concern to talk about at your appointment please consider either booking a double appointment or making another appointment for a different day.
If you cannot attend an appointment for any reason please inform us as soon as possible by calling 01489 881982 in order for us to give the slot to someone else.
Patients who fail to attend on 3 separate occasions or waste more than 30 minutes of doctor or nurse time in a single failed attendance in any 12 month period, without prior notice, good reason or other medical circumstance, will receive a warning letter. They will be given 3 months grace but should they continue to miss appointments without advance warning during this period, they will be removed from the practice list due to the breakdown of trust that their inability to communicate creates.
If the patient fails to attend after the 3 month warning period, the case will be considered by the Partners who may still remove the patient without prior notice, although the default position will be a second warning. No third warning will be issued and removal will be automatic.
While such actions will hopefully be rare, we do need to ensure that those patients who value our service are not penalised of other less considerate patients.
House calls are time-consuming and the doctor can see up to six patients at the surgery in the time that it takes to do one house call.
People with a temperature cool down and improve when they leave a warm house.
A doctor can often see you earlier in the surgery and has better access to diagnostic facilities and may be able to start your treatment there and then.
In some cases where there is a serious emergency such as a suspected heart attack or injury it may be more appropriate to dial 999 for an ambulance.
Patients will phone their GP practice as normal and, if they need a same-day appointment they will be asked if their details can be shared with the service.
The patient may be given advice on how to take care of themselves, arrangements made for medication to be available at a pharmacy or an appointment offered.
If you have a concern or query that needs urgent medical attention and cannot wait for a routine appointment you will be asked to attend the surgery at a pre-determined time slot throughout the morning and afternoon.
Please be advised these appointments are for any medical concerns that cannot wait for a routine appointment and there may be a wait as consultations with the Duty Care Team will be in order of clincial need.
Duty appointments are for medically urgent problems. The Duty Care Team will deal with the urgent problem the same day but more routine problems may be deferred to a routine appointment.
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new way of getting advice from your GP.
Please click on the panel below and follow the guidance to see how you can get the quickest and most appropriate care for your problem.
We really hope that you find this new service of benefit to you, we would love to hear your feedback when you have used it.

Experimental site-specific performance by BNNT (Konrad Smoleński and Daniel Szwed)

During the past fifty years in the Fluxus era the parameters of visual experimentation within musical performance have been enormously expended. This experimentation reconfigures the traditional view of musical performance to a new, alternatively engaging experience, one that embodies sound and space with object and image, resulting in a refreshing composition.
In this light, Degrees of Freedom by a Polish art group, BNNT was not just an illustration. The performance was intertwined with sound and object installation, and physically occupied one of the current exhibitions at the ICA, Space Painting by a Chinese artist, Zhang Enli. The first impression on the set for the performance was overwhelmed by a dreamlike spatial aesthetic. The free, brightly multicoloured and unobstructed way of brush touch painting wholly encompassed the walls and floor. However, this dynamic visual impact was more culminated with intermittently bursting punk rock and noisy sounds by a drummer, Daniel Szwed strikingly banging cymbals and gongs. His drumming performance seemed to reach almost noisy utopian state. On the far side of the Space Painting, black wooden battens were displayed against the wall as part of the performance installation. They were trembled subtly sometimes noticeably by invisible vibration generated from the tremendous energy of the sound. Eventually they fell down on the floor during the performance as if they were interacting with the provocative sound. It created a curious combination of the visual media in a live performance context, with an intangible air of excitement about the intense noise and sound frequency within the site-specific painting show.
One of the visual attractions in the performance was that the artist, Konrad Smoleński, playing an audio object called the Baritone Missile which was designed by the artist himself. This weapon, or guitar-like sonic piece, was constructed with various things combining the elements of an instrument which has an extremely low tone, and sometimes sounded almost muted during the performance, contrasting with the drummer's deafeningly loud and random variable playing. Smoleński's performance paradoxically appeared with both inaudible acoustic tension and a humorous allegorical visual impact; he seemed to be armed as a freedom fighter. The artist, who has visual art background, has ironically mentioned that he cannot play any instruments in a musical sense.[1] Thus, his enigmatic piece looked rather like an abstract sculpture with a military motif as opposed to a traditional instrument. The performance seemed to be neither improvised nor intended by the two half-naked artists in black masks; it looked anonymously guerrilla-esque and simultaneously evoked unrestricted and sheer ecstasy.

The manner of the BNNT's performance was closely associated with the Nam June Paik's Fluxus object performance. The art form itself was mostly materialised as events or performance art pieces. It has been described as attempting to make something nobody else has done before, and through crossing over artistic genres and styles and making much use of humour. The attempts were meant to blur the borders between performance and reality, performer and audience.[2]
In short, Degrees of Freedom created the socially expressive interaction between the site-specific live performance and the viewers. It allowed them to perceive the multi-sensory experience not only by hearing and seeing but also by feeling their whole body with the powerful sound sensation. That being the case, Degrees of Freedom by BNNT can be regarded as a total work of art. This Neo-Fluxian outcome shows a continuing attempt to blend different artistic media and disciplines, and re-explores the inter-media practices in contemporary art.

VideoWA risks becoming an apple importer within years as an alleged price war prompts some local farmers to pull up their orchards.
WA risks becoming an apple importer as low prices force some local farmers to pull up their orchards or leave the fruit to rot.
Several Manjimup farmers said wholesalers and supermarkets were paying them as little as 90¢ a kilogram for apples, which was below the average break-even cost of $2.50 to $3/kg.
Woolworths had one apple variety on special for $2/kg yesterday, while Aldi had a special for $1.99/kg, Coles had a promotion at $3.50/kg and IGA had apples on sale for $2.60/kg.
Pomewest chairman Harvey Giblett said prices for some varieties started falling three years ago while production costs had increased. "There is an apple price war between the major buyers ... and the industry is doing it tough," he said.
Manjimup farmer Vic Grozotis said five apple orchards in the area had closed or were closing because of poor returns.
"At this rate, WA will become a net importer of apples within four years," he said.
Mr Grozotis said consumers had to pay $5/kg for apples for the industry to have a future.
An apple farmer who would not be named said he got 90¢/kg but needed $3 to break even.
The farmer was letting 80 tonnes of the fruit rot this season because it was not worth paying to have it picked, packaged and transported. The farmer and others who would not be named — for fear of retribution from supermarkets and wholesalers — accused sellers of using cheap apples to lure customers.
"They are treating apple farmers the way they used to treat dairy farmers," the farmer said.
Manjimup farmer Travis Luzny ripped up his 13ha of apple trees after harvest last year because of poor returns. He partly blamed heavy importation of other fruits in winter for the fall in demand.
Coles and Woolworths say they pay farmers fair market rates for apples. Retail prices reached up to $6.50/kg for top varieties. Coles has a campaign to encourage apple sales amid declining popularity. Woolworths claimed there was long-term growth in WA apple sales.

Every drug-resistant TB case costs a quarter of a million dollars to treat

Tuberculosis, which typically ravages the lungs, is a disease we associate with the past: Mimi, the heroine of Puccini's La bohème, had tuberculosis; so did Fantine in Les Misérables. Many of the great artists who created our favorite fictional characters — Chekhov, Kafka — died from "consumption," as it was known, too.
Back then, we didn't have treatments or vaccines for TB. But while medical innovations — like the discovery of antibiotics in the 1940s — helped dramatically reduce the incidence of this bacterial infection, a new threat has emerged: drug-resistant tuberculosis.
The World Health Organization now estimates that every year, there are about half a million cases of TB that don't respond to the treatments we have. Drug-resistant strains of the disease, a WHO official said this week, are currently "ravaging" Europe.
Medications can lead to hearing or vision loss, liver or kidney damage, depression, or psychosis
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which released its latest TB data today, put a price tag on drug-resistant TB: the average cost of treatment per US case is $134,000, compared with $17,000 to treat a case that responds to drugs. When productivity losses are factored in, the price tag rises to $260,000.
These costs aren't only due to the fact that treatment is expensive, involving daily injections that can last months; there's lost productivity, too. "Patients face the inability to work, long and frequent hospitalizations, home isolation, and even death," the CDC stated. "Medications can also lead to severe health problems, such as hearing or vision loss, liver or kidney damage, depression, or psychosis."
The rate of drug-resistant TB remains low in the US. According to the most recent CDC estimates, there were fewer than 100 cases in 2014. That's just over 1 percent of the total TB disease burden.
Still, the problem is preventable. Tuberculosis, which spreads from person to person through the air, takes on "superbug" proportions when a person gets the wrong treatment or doesn't take the entire course of prescribed antibiotics. (In developing countries, access to good-quality treatments is an issue, too.) So drug-resistant TB originates with improper antibiotic use, and the bacteria mutate to outsmart the drugs we have.
Drug-resistant diseases are a looming threat
Deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance by 2050. (Review on Antimicrobial Resistance)
Drug resistance isn't just a TB problem. In the US, we've already seen a number of other bacterial infections — gonorrhea, carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (or CREs) — that no longer respond to any of the drugs we have. Antibiotic-resistant infections are associated with 23,000 deaths and 2 million illnesses every year.
The CDC has estimated that these superbugs lead to $20 billion a year in excess health-care costs, as well as more than 8 million additional days that people spend in hospital.
A recent report commissioned by the UK government contains an alarming prediction: by 2050, antimicrobial-resistant infections will kill 10 million people across the world — more than the current toll from cancer.
This nightmare scenario isn't that far-fetched for one simple reason: we keep failing to muster the action needed to stave it off. There has been an incredible amount of inertia in medicine, and the agricultural sector has for years denied the science for economic and political reasons.

Dexter Filming Locations: The Smuggler's Home.
The location: The Smuggler's House.
A. The marina home of a smuggler / murderer.
A. In "Reefshore Marina", in Miami.
A. In Episode 5 (of Season 1), "Love American Style".
We see Dexter out on his boat, floating offshore of the posh Mediterranean-style home of his next victim: Jorge Castillo, a ruthless "coyote".
Castillo smuggles Cuban refugees into the country, then demands a ransom from their relatives, and if he doesn't get it, he kills the refugees and dumps their bodies out in the sea, to make it look as if they drowned there.
Castillo runs his operation out of an auto salvage yard, where he imprisons his immigrant victims in squalid conditions until their the blackmail is paid - or until he murders them.
After a boat full of pretty girls passes by, Dexter turns the long lens of his Nikon camera on Castillo's waterfront home.
He shoots photos of him as he walks into his home and is greeted by his pretty blonde wife. Dexter is sorry to see that Castillo has a wife, since (he muses) he doesn't enjoy making someone a widow.
Dexter assumes that the wife has no idea what her brutal husband is doing. But he's wrong (as he finds out later).
After dark, Dexter sneaks aboard Castillo's docked boat and finds the refugees' dead bodies hidden there.
A. An island home in Miami.
A. There is no "Reefshore Marina" in Miami (or anywhere else that I know of). The Mediterranean home isn't in a marina at all.
It's actually at 141 N. Hibiscus Drive, on the northeast side of Hibiscus Island, in Biscayne Bay, Miami.
Here is an aerial photo of the home.
The boat with the girls is passing east to west (or southeast to northwest).
The tall buildings seen on the shore behind Dexter's head are on Belle Island (the easternmost of the Venetian Islands) - except for the small pink building on the right, which is located on the western side of the Miami Beach coast.
A. This one was tough. First, I thought they might have shot it at Marina Del Rey (in Los Angeles), but a closer look convinced me that they were still in Miami.
Since the boat full of girls cruises right by the house, I knew it faced the water. I spent a long time using Live Local's maps to study many of the islands in the Bay, but to no avail.
So, I switched strategies and began looking for the tall buildings you can on the shore in the distance (behind Dexter) in the scene. I scoured the entire Miami mainland coast and part of the Miami Beach coast without finding them.
Then, fortunately, I decided to take a second look at the establishing shot shown right before the boating scene.
It was the usual aerial shot of the bay, so the chance that it would actually show the area in question was remote. But I lucked out.
After I mapped it out, the aerial shot turned out to be looking south from Hibiscus Island, so I started searching that area. I quickly spotted the house used for the filming - complete with red tile roof, green lawn out front with its walkway, the boat dock, even the colorful bougainvillea blooming near a corner of the roof. And I could also see another home nearby (which can be glimpsed as the girls' boat passes by) with a distinctive red-tile cupola.
But I was still curious about the location of those tall buildings in the distance, behind Dexter. The ones I couldn't find earlier. I determined that the camera must have been looking northeast, and drew a line on the aerial map to approximate the camera view from the position of Dexter's boat northeast to the shore. Sure enough, that allowed me to find the right buildings rather quickly. The reason they were hard to find before is that they weren't on the Miami Beach coast, as I had expected, but were instead on an island (Belle Island) just off the western coast.

Teenager Jailed For Months Over A Facebook Joke
Was the joke in poor taste? Absolutely. Should he have been jailed for months over it? Don't our cops have better things to do with their time?
Jack Carter says his son Justin and a friend got into an argument with someone on Facebook about the game and the teenager wrote a comment he now regrets.
"Someone had said something to the effect of 'Oh you're insane, you're crazy, you're messed up in the head,' to which he replied 'Oh yeah, I'm real messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,' and the next two lines were lol and jk.," said Carter.
"LOL" stands for "laughing out loud," and "jk" means "just kidding," but police didn't think it was funny. Neither did a woman from Canada who saw the posting.
Justin's dad says the woman did a Google search and found his son's old address was near an elementary school and she called police.
Justin Carter was arrested the next month and has been jailed since March 27. He's charged with making a terroristic threat and is facing eight years in prison, according to his dad.
The kid celebrated his 19th birthday in jail, where he sits charged with making a terrorist. He's facing, unbelievably, eight years in jail if convicted.
According to the cops, Carter's post was a crime because of their overreaction to the Newtown shooting:
Authorities noted that recent school shootings like the one in Newtown, Connecticut have caused them to evaluate all potential threats seriously. Newtown was still fresh in their minds at the time of Carter's arrest.
"In light of recent situations, statements such as the one Justin made are taken seriously," said an Austin police detective in a statement.
"Justin was the kind of kid who didn't read the newspaper," the Daily Caller quotes the father Jack Carter as saying. "He didn't watch television. He wasn't aware of current events. These kids, they don't realize what they're doing. They don't understand the implications. They don't understand."
Or maybe the kid thought he lived in a free country where you can make sarcastic and even tactless comments online without having to worry about jail time. Guess he's been disabused of that notion.

In Total Points or Stamps enter a maximum number of stamps customer can collect.
Award Time frame allows to specify amount of time before the loyalty program will grant next stamp (note that this is a global loyalty blocking time - different then a spot specific blocking time - see below).
8. In Repeat you can decide if the loyalty campaign should be repeated and started again after person has collected all points.
9. In Renew Reward Loyalties you can decide if the loyalty rewards can be granted once again if user collects all points one more time.
10. Hit the Add button.
11. Go to Campaigns tab and open existing campaign or create a new campaign.
12. In the Campaign form click on Add Loyalty Campaign link in the "Loyalty" section.
13. Select loyalty stamps campaign that you have added above, specify how many stamps should be granted when customer approaches the "trigger distance" of the campaign and how long should that spot be blocked before granting stamps again (the minimum are 2 seconds).
14. You can add rewards now, but it's optional. You create rewards in order to show to the customers that they have won a special price. See below for instructions.
4. PIN Confirmation allows you to grant coupon to customers only after PIN code has been entered (this feature helps to increase security and grant points only by personel that knows the secret PIN code). PIN code can be set for each Venue in the Venue settings.

6. Hit the Add button.
7. Go to Campaigns tab and open existing campaign or create a new campaign.
8. In the Campaign form click on Add Loyalty Campaign link in the "Loyalty" section.
9. Select loyalty coupon campaign that you have added above.
Redeeming coupons by your customers is easy. Loyalty Coupons always come with a verification code and a call to action button that enables to Redeem them. Coupons can only be redeemed once - once a customer clicks on a button the coupon will get into "used" mode. He can show Coupon with verification code to a salesman to verify it (How to monitor and verify coupons).
You can add Loyalty Rewards to a loyalty point or stamp campaign. Loyalty Rewards specify what should happen after your customer collects certain amount of points.
In loyalties tab - the list of your defined loyalty programs - click on "Add reward" at the row of specific loyalty.
2. Specify the name of the reward (same for internal use only - eg. "Scouter prize"), how many points should customer collect in order to benefit and choose the content that should be displayed on the phone after customer collects all points - the "You have won" content.
You can display loyalty points status to customers, but you don't have to - it's up to you. In some use cases showing the points is not a good idea. For example if you would like to show to customers different offers (contents) when they arrive in your store for the first time and different to those that are frequent visitors and often buy things. In this scenario you probably don't want to show to them about any points they are collecting - just show them the contents.
It's easily done with creation of loyalty rewards for each point they collect and setting a proper blocking time, to give customers max 1 point per day. The possibilities are huge and limited only by your imagination. If you create a "deal hunt" game or have a loyalty program like "Get 5th coffee for free" you probably want to let customers know how many points they already have.
Go to "Contents" tab and add new content, let's name it "Loyalty Checkpoint".
In "Look & feel" section choose Loyalty & Coupons and select proper template.
3. Specify rest of the UI and hit "Save".
4. Now, in your campaign settings - select the content that you have just created as the one to display for the campaign.
5. You can also set your just created content as the "loyalty reward" content - displayed when a customer has collected winning amount of points.
When you turn on Renew Loyalty Reward toggle while setting up a Loyalty Campaign, this will allow a person to collect the same reward again after collecting enough points or stamps.
For example, a person who has already collected and redeemed a coupon, after collecting enough points or stamps will be able to redeem coupon one more time (on the contrary if you have not turned on Renew Loyalty Reward, the coupon will remain as redeemed and a person won't be able to use it again, even if enough points or stamps are collected).
Click on "Leaderboard" button next to your loyalty.
Here you see the list of participants, identified by the "Verification code", number of points collected and the time stamp when it happened. The "verification code" is displayed in "loyalty content template" (the one content template that shows points to customers - read more above). This code is specially handful when determining a winner of some contest, like a "deal hunt" game.
Sometimes you would like to show to your customers number of points they have collected in some loyalty program, without granting any new points to them.
For this purpose a "checkpoint beacon" comes in handy. It's a normal beacon with assigned campaign to it and a loyalty program. In campaign loyalty settings (Edit campaign view), set "0" in "Add points" field and as a content use templates from the "Loyalties" section of "Look & feel".

New behavior of gases in metal-organic frameworks observed
Doctoral Theses & Publications
Research Funders
Metal-organic frameworks are materials useful for capturing and storing gas. An international team, led by scientists from Stockholm University and University of California, Berkeley, have been able to show how gases organize in the material, a completely new finding and important for further development. The result was recently published in the scientific journal Nature.
Osamu Terasaki
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystals built from inorganic and organic building blocks, which can be varied nearly at will. The pores makes the surface within the material enormous. One gram of MOF has a surface area of up to 10 000 square meters, onto which it is possible to compact gases. This makes the material useful for binding and storing gas, purification, separation and catalysis.
It has previously been assumed that gases adsorb to the pore walls in a random way. The report "Extra adsorption and adsorbate superlattice formation in metal-organic frameworks", was recently published in the scientific journal Nature. An international team of scientists led by Osamu Terasaki, Stockholm University, and Omar M. Yaghi, University of California Berkeley, has been able to show that the gases don't behave as randomly as previously thought. In a series of experiments, the scientists have seen how gases interact and arrange in an ordered fashion and at certain pressures arrange in a superlattice formation spanning several pores.
"This is a new phenomena that we have been able to observe thanks to an unique instrument of in-situ small angle X-rays we have designed and set up", says Osamu Terasaki, Professor at the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry at Stockholm University.
Their analysis reveals that these organized gases represent 22 percent of the uptake. This new discovery gives birth to a new area of research the authors are beginning to call "gas adsorption crystallography".
"The results deepens our understanding of gas adsorption and promises the design of new MOFs capable of even higher gas uptake", says Osamu Terasaki.
