Coronavirus Updates: Japan lifts state of emergency in 39 prefectures
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Thursday that he had decided to lift the state of emergency in 39 of the country's 47 prefectures.
The decree remains in place for urban regions, including the capital, Tokyo, and the large port city of Osaka. Abe said his government will consider lifting the state of emergency for the remaining prefectures next week.
The prime minister declared a monthlong state of emergency for Tokyo and six other prefectures on April 7 as Japan reported a surge in COVID-19 cases. Abe later expanded the declaration to cover the entire country and last until May 31. Under the order, prefectural governors asked residents to stay home and for some businesses to temporarily close, but public cooperation was voluntary. There were no penalties for failure to comply.
Abe credited the recent decline in the rate of new infections to the efforts of residents staying at home and practicing social distancing. However, he warned that the state of emergency may have to be reimposed if infections increase.
More than 16,000 people in Japan have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and at least 678 have died, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University.

The Cost of Doing Business
By Labeeb Ahmad
In Muslim World, Op-eds, Terrorism
Human greed never ceases to amaze me. It's the first principle in determining all causes of evil, especially in the tragic storm of 21st-century proxy-war olympics. While average Joes wonder why Yemeni civilians are greeting the Grim Reaper by the thousands, the CEOs of arms dealers are getting wealthier by the billions. But I guess that's just the cost of doing business.
The story goes like this. I sell you a gun so you can shoot your poor neighbors. I get rich but not only do your targets die, scores of other people are also murdered in the process. Not only their lives, but their health care, homes, business, and schools are in rubble. Am I to blame for their deaths? Unless your a Chicago Boy preaching the free-market as God, then no humane ethical theory can say that I'm off the hook. The fact that this is even a debate is sickening.
In actuality, Saudi Arabia isn't the only nation complicit in the destruction in Yemen, a war described by a UN official as "absurd" and "futile," and that has so far caused over 10,000 civilian deaths, 8 million to be on the brink of famine, and the world's worst contemporary cholera epidemic.
Despite Saudi airstrikes that have targeted Yemenis indiscriminately and blockades of Yemeni ports that have cut off dire humanitarian assistance, a coalition of governments, including the U.S., the U.K., and Italy all have continued supported to support the Saudi regime in this campaign since 2015. Whether it's aerial refueling, intelligence sharing, and, perhaps most importantly, the sale of billions of dollars worth of jets and bombs that are pummeling Yemenis, it seems that the coalition has got them covered. Besides verbal condemnations, there's hardly been any practical action.
Still, let's not ignore the shooter of the guns. Saudi's primary reason for going head-to-head with the Houthi rebels in Yemen is because the latter are Shia. If they win, then Iran wins. The conflict at its crux is geopolitical, not religious. Many Muslim leaders, kings or clerics, don't care one bit about what Islam says they should or shouldn't do. Saudis and Iranians and their respective allies are caught in such a bitter feud with each other that the ideal of a brotherhood of Muslim nations laid out in the Qur'an is totally irrelevant to them. Muslims are stirring discord among themselves. So to all the Muslims who point all their fingers simply at Western interventionism as the catalyst for violence, realize that this position is false and has consequences.
Many perpetrators of terrorist attacks on Western soil in the past have blamed Western involvement in Muslim lands—specifically civilian casualties from drone strikes—as the motivation for their violence. But it's not only onlookers from afar who become grieved. Yemenis themselves may become vulnerable to the lure of extremist organizations whose proclaimed missions are basically to right wrongs done to them.
Addressing Canada's National Parliament in 2016 on the implications of this disaster, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Khalifa of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, warned, "The people of Yemen, whose lives and futures are being destroyed, will not only bear hatred and seek revenge from Saudi Arabia but will also bear hate towards Saudi's arms suppliers and the West in general…members of their youth will be prone to radicalization."
If we truly want to see peace in the Middle East, we could start by critically examining the sources for the violence. Alternatively, we can sit idly by as all the distractions of our lives protect us from the horror abroad being facilitated by our own governments. In that case, we also shouldn't be surprised when we hear the excuse of the next band of terrorists: "We wanted to avenge the deaths of children in Yemen."

For Ahmadi Muslims, another memorial day
On May 28th this year, we observed Memorial Day, a day to remember and honor those who have died in service to our nation. But on this year's Memorial Day, I also reflected on other brave souls who died in another service: to their faith. May 28th has a special significance not just for me and the tens of millions of members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community worldwide. It is also a day of...

Check out this terrifying, crazy, out-of-control (and any other adjective that describes "incredible") landslide.
It's desolate, it's winter and it's absolutely insane. It looks like the apocalypse has come in a Mad Max kind of way and mankind is simply helpless to do anything about it.
Things eventually cool down after about two-and-a-half minutes, but then the land appears to be moving. The guy recording the scene really ought to consider jumping in his car and hightailing it out of there on ground that has yet to feel a tectonic shift. Otherwise, he's bound to become the last man in the world.

The balance in cables can be defined in terms of the impedance of the two signal conductors with respect to a reference, which is usually ground. If these impedances are equal and non-zero, the system is balanced. If the impedance's are unequal the system is unbalanced. A signal conductor with a grounded return conductor is, therefore, an unbalanced (sometimes referred to as a single ended) system.
Balanced connections employ three conductors, one for the positive and one for the negative phase of the signal, and one for the ground. This ensures maximum protection against hum and interference. Servo-balanced connections achieve this electronically, whereas galvanically isolated connections rely on a transformer.
For example, connecting a microphone to a mixer or audio interface is a use of a balanced cable because the microphone is a relatively quiet source that needs a lot of amplification. So needs a high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) to reduce noise picked up in the cable between the mic and input. Balanced XLR Female to Male is by far the most common choice, but a Female XLR to Balanced 6.35mm Jack might be necessary with older or more compact audio interfaces.
Unbalanced connections employ two conductors, one for the signal and the other for the ground, and are much more subject to hum and interference than balanced connections. Consumer equipment generally uses unbalanced connections.
For example, plugging in a guitar is a use of an unbalanced cable because guitars, amps, basses and some keyboards/synths were never designed to use balanced connections. Unfortunately they still suffer from interference and noise, especially in long cable runs. That's why it makes sense to buy the best quality cable you can with strong shielding to prevent unwanted signals and noise. On the plus side they come in a fine selection of colours and lengths.

HomeCar CultureDo you agree with Goodwood's '50s favorites?
Do you agree with Goodwood's '50s favorites?
British hosts list what they consider the best sports cars of the 1950s that aren't Ferrari 250s
The BMW 507 is among the best non-Ferraris of the 1950s according to Goodwood Road & Racing | Goodwood photos
A challenge for you from Goodwood Road & Racing in England: The good folks from Goodwood have compiled a list of "The best Fifties sportscars that aren't Ferrari 250s."
The challenge is to see if you agree and, if not, to share your opinion through the "Comments" section below.
So what non-Ferraris did Goodwood select? Here they are:
1951 Lancia Aurelia GT — "Mike Hawthorn, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jean Behra. When drivers like these choose a particular car as their own personal transport – and free of the restrictions of sponsors – then you know it is something special," Goodwood notes.
"Named, in Lancia's fashion, after a Roman road, the Aurelia used the world's first production V6-engine, an all-alloy jewel designed under the auspices of legendary engineer Vittorio Jano mated to an innovative transaxle which combined the gearbox, clutch, diff and in-board drum brakes in one unit. The Aurelia was also the first car to be fitted as standard with radial-ply tires.
Add in a Ghia-designed and Pininfarinia-built fastback body and you have what Goodwood adds is the first "Grand Touring" car.
1953 Porsche 550 — "Ferdinand Porsche revisited the mid-engined layout he had pioneered with the Auto Union Grands Prix cars of the 1930s for the first post-war sports racing car to be called a Porsche. The engine, regardless of where it was situated, was quite something: all-alloy, air-cooled, four-cylinder boxer with double overhead camshafts, twin carbs and dual ignition it produced 110PS.
"Introduced in 1953, it won its classes at Le Mans and the Carrera Panamerica that year, the latter victory leading to Porsches carrying the 'Carrera' badge to this day."
1953 Austin Healey 100 — "If the Porsche 356 was the sportscar birthed from the Volkswagen Beetle then the Healey 100 applied the same approach to the Austin A90 Atlantic, a bulbous two-door which tried, unsuccessfully, to apply American styling ideas to British-sized cars. Former Monte Carlo Rally winner Donald Healey had been producing high-end hand-built cars under his own name since just after the war but wanted to make something cheap enough to win mass-market appeal. Hitting on the A90 as the donor car, Healey designed the rakish 100 (has any sportscar worn two-tone paint better than the 'Big Healeys') around its mechanicals.
"The design impressed Austin boss Leonard Lord and a deal was done to jointly build the Austin-Healey 100, the number referring to its ability to reach the magic ton with its 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine and three-speed with overdrive manual gearbox. The bodies were produced and trimmed by Jensen Motors."
1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing — "Car dealers don't often get a say in how the models they sell get developed but US luxury car importer Max Hoffmann had a hand in more than one car on this list, as well as others such as the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider and Porsche 356 Speedster. Hoffman suggested to Mercedes-Benz that a road going version of its Le Mans and Carrera Panamerica winning W194 racer, would be a hit with well-heeled Americans.
"The 300SL (for 'Super Light') used the same construction techniques as the racer, albeit mainly in steel rather than aluminum, and it was the tube frame underneath the body panels that, due to its high sides, necessitated the iconic gullwing doors. The road car used the same 3.0-liter overhead cam straight-six as the W194, canted over at 50-degrees for a low bonnet line."
1956 BMW 507 — "Here is another Hoffman-inspired entry which the dealer persuaded BMW to build because he wanted a cheaper convertible to sell alongside the 300SL cabriolet. Hoffman envisaged the car being half the price of the Mercedes and selling in the thousands, so BMW designed it around as many existing components as possible, including a chassis adapted from the BMW 502 saloon and its 3.2-liter V8, which with twin-carburetors produced 150 HP.
"The body was the work of Albrecht von Goertz (who later designed a grand piano for Steinway & Sons) at the insistence of Hoffman, a friend of his. The result was undoubtedly pleasing but proved to be a challenge to build, each one being hand formed from aluminum and no two cars being identical, to the extent where a hardtop from one example will not fit another correctly. This also meant the price almost doubled, leading to only 252 being sold, nearly bankrupting BMW."
1957 Jaguar XKSS — "Another racer turned road car in the vein of the 300SL Gullwing, the Jaguar XKSS was conceived as a way to make use of unused chassis from the D-Type competition program, recouping their development cost. A fairly thinly veiled adaptation of the D-type, the XKSS gained a passenger door, windscreen and side screens but lost the D-type's glorious fin along the rear bodywork and the divider in-between the driver and passenger areas. A properly trimmed cabin and rudimentary convertible top added a modicum of refinement while bumpers and larger Jaguar XK140 rear lights helped increase safety.
"In total, 25 cars were planned but on February 12, 1957, a fire at Jaguar's Browns Lane factory destroyed nine of the cars, although two were later created using existing D-types. Most of the remaining 16 were sold in America, including one to actor Steve McQueen, who referred to it as 'The Green Rat'."
1958 Lotus Elite — "Is there any car company that is able to do so much with such seemingly humble components as Lotus? Case in point; the Lotus Elite was powered by a 1.2-liter Coventry Climax engine originally usually used as a water pump on fire engine. With it, the Elite won its class at Le Mans six times.
"Unveiled in 1957, the Elite was the first production car to feature a fiberglass monocoque forming the body and load-bearing structures of the car (with a steel windscreen hope and subframe for mounting the engine). As a result, the car weighed just 500 kilograms, helping it to two Index of Thermal Efficiency wins at Le Mans as well."

JDM May 19, 2020 At 4:35 PM
I understand Goodwood's preference for European sports/racing cars due to being located in the UK, but there is more to life than Ferrari's. If not 50's Detroit Iron, then how about maybe a 50's era Rolls-Royce or Bentley? Or a Morgan, Jaguar XK-120, or MGA?
Malcolm GRAHAM May 19, 2020 At 11:57 PM
Hey Val
This was a list compiled by the British in England. What specific car made in the '50s in the land of the free(way), qualifies for the title of sports car?
Corvette ('57 on?)
Malcolm GRAHAM May 20, 2020 At 1:10 AM
Hi JDM
By what possible definition does any Rolls-Royce or Bentley made (by the factory) in the '50s, qualify for the title of sports car?
The other three you mention, yes but Rolls-Royce and Bentley? I've owned (and enjoyed) examples of both marques. All were quick in a straight line but sports cars? No sir.
Etore Bugatti summed up Bentleys very well when he referred to contemporary Bentleys as the world's fastest lorries.
He was right. I can't comment on the current crop of big Volkswagens but right up to the Arnage, Bentleys had left hand threaded wheel nuts on the left side – just like trucks.
Dave Renner May 28, 2020 At 5:25 PM
Ten is simply too few. The 1950s birthed many iconic sports cars. I started with an Austin Healey 100 fifty years ago when it was cheap but can now afford an MGA. Similar profiles and both totally British. I agree with the comment about price being an issue so I can only window shop on your choices.

U.S. 'No-Fly' List Curtails Liberties
Intended as a counterterrorism tool, it doesn't work and tramples on travelers' rights
Bruce Schneier
Imagine a list of suspected terrorists so dangerous that we can't ever let them fly, yet so innocent that we can't arrest them – even under the draconian provisions of the Patriot Act.
This is the federal government's "no-fly" list. First circulated in the weeks after 9/11 as a counterterrorism tool, its details are shrouded in secrecy.
But, because the list is filled with inaccuracies and ambiguities, thousands of innocent, law-abiding Americans have been subjected to lengthy interrogations and invasive searches every time they fly, and sometimes forbidden to board airplanes…
Curb Electronic Surveillance Abuses
As technological monitoring grows more prevalent, court supervision is crucial
Years ago, surveillance meant trench-coated detectives following people down streets.
Today's detectives are more likely to be sitting in front of a computer, and the surveillance is electronic. It's cheaper, easier and safer. But it's also much more prone to abuse. In the world of cheap and easy surveillance, a warrant provides citizens with vital security against a more powerful police.
Warrants are guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment and are required before the police can search your home or eavesdrop on your telephone calls. But what other forms of search and surveillance are covered by warrants is still unclear…
Fingerprinting Visitors Won't Offer Security
Imagine that you're going on vacation to some exotic country.
You get your visa, plan your trip and take a long flight. How would you feel if, at the border, you were photographed and fingerprinted? How would you feel if your biometrics stayed in that country's computers for years? If your fingerprints could be sent back to your home country? Would you feel welcomed by that country, or would you feel like a criminal?
This month the U.S. government began giving such treatment to an expected 23 million visitors to the United States. The US-VISIT program is designed to capture biometric information at our borders. Only citizens of 27 countries who don't need a visa to enter the United States, mostly Europeans, are exempt. Currently all 115 international airports and 14 seaports are covered, and over the next three years this program will be expanded to cover at least 50 land crossings and also to screen foreigners exiting the country…
Terror Profiles by Computers Are Ineffective
In September 2002, JetBlue Airways secretly turned over data about 1.5 million of its passengers to a company called Torch Concepts, under contract with the Department of Defense.
Torch Concepts merged this data with Social Security numbers, home addresses, income levels and automobile records that it purchased from another company, Acxiom Corp. All this was to test an automatic profiling system to automatically give each person a terrorist threat ranking.
Many JetBlue customers feel angry and betrayed that their data was shared without their consent. JetBlue's privacy policy clearly states that "the financial and personal information collected on this site is not shared with any third parties." Several lawsuits against JetBlue are pending. CAPPS II is the new system designed to profile air passengers — a system that would eventually single out certain passengers for extra screening and other passengers who would not be permitted to fly. After this incident, Congress has delayed the entire CAPPS II air passenger profiling system pending further review…

Did you know that it's believed over 7,500 different tomato species are grown around the world today? You've probably heard before that, botanically speaking, tomatoes are actually a fruit and not a vegetable. In fact, technically they're considered a berry, although strangely a long-standing United States law dating back to the late 1800s classifies them as a vegetable.
Tomatoes (which have the scientific name Solanum lycopersicum) are a member of thenightshade vegetable family called Solanaceae, which also includes veggies like peppers, eggplant and potatoes. They are considered a high-antioxidant food and one of the best sources of the phytonutrient called lycopene in the world, which is closely tied to enhanced immunity and cancer risk reduction. Although most people correlate lycopene with deeply colored red tomatoes, it's believed to present in equally high quantities in organic yellow, green or orange tomatoes.
Lycopene found in tomatoes has well-researched beneficial effects when it comes to stalling cancerous tumor growth. Adults with cancer who have participated in studies commonly show signs of cancer regression and tumor malignancy with supplementing with high doses of lycopene. Research has shown that when lycopene supplements are given to men who already have existing prostate cancer, the lycopene helps to reduce the size of the tumors and stop the spreading of cancerous cells.
While lycopene is most researched in regards to tomato nutrition benefits and prostate cancer prevention, it's beneficial for defending against other types, too. Strong evidence indicates that higher lycopene intake can help protect against lung, stomach, colon, oral, breast and cervical cancers. Additionally, tomatoes supply many other forms of antioxidants and a wide range of vitamins, in addition to potassium and phosphorus.
Studies over the past several decades have found that people who eat more tomatoes are less likely to suffer from prostate cancer, which is the most common form of cancer in American men. Cooked tomatoes are especially beneficial for fighting cancer because once cooked (especially with a source of fat, like olive oil) their rich source of the carotenoid antioxidants called lycopene becomes even more available.
As a natural cancer remedy, researchers have known about the immune-enhancing effects of foods containing lycopene for decades. Studies dating back to the 1990's conducted by Harvard University Medical School found that men who ate the most tomatoes had a much lower risk of developing prostate cancer than non-tomato eaters. Some of the men were eating as much as 10 servings a week (or more) of tomatoes – including from sources like tomato juice, tomato sauce and raw tomatoes. At least five studies support a 30 percent to 40 percent reduction in prostate cancer risk associated with high tomato or lycopene consumption.
Recently a large report published by the Royal Victoria Hospital and McGill University of Montreal investigated 11 case-control studies and 10 cohort studies on the use of tomato, tomato products or lycopene for cancer prevention; they found that tomatoes, especially when eaten in high amounts, offer significant protection.
And besides lycopene, tomato nutrition contains a variety of other powerful phytochemicals that can help fight widespread chronic diseases. For example, research shows that phenolic acids found in tomatoes have the potential to fight lung cancer because of their ability to inhibit the formation of nitrosamine compounds in the body.
Tomatoes' deep color is a good indication of their high supply of inflammation-fighting antioxidants – which is exactly why many nutrition experts tell you to "eat the rainbow." Tomatoes are especially known for having a trio of antioxidants called zera-carotene, phytoene and phytofluene that are found together in many brightly colored fruits and vegetables. These are effective for helping to lower disease-causing inflammation and thus slow age-related diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and cognitive decline.
One of the possible mechanisms for tomatoes' protective activities is by "down-regulation of the inflammatory response." That includes inhibiting pro-inflammatory mediators (such as the reduction of reactive oxygen species), halting pro-inflammatory cytokines from being released and changing nitric oxide signal pathways.
However, keep in mind that processing of tomatoes may significantly affect the bioavailability of these anti-inflammatory nutrients. Homogenization, high heat treatment/cooking, and the incorporation of oil in processed tomato products leads to increased lycopene bioavailability — unfortunately, at the same time, these processes can cause significant losses of other delicate nutrients. This is why it's a good idea to eat both raw and cooked tomatoes regularly.
Tomatoes' antioxidants, especially lycopene, are known to fight free radical damage and thus protect the heart against oxidative stress. This offers protection related to heart disease – which is the number one cause of death in the U.S and many other nations – and lowers the risk for heart attacks or strokes. Some studies have found that treatment with antioxidant-rich tomato extract can alsoreduce high blood pressure, lower cholesterol naturallyand improve blood vessel health.
In a recent study, healthy adults ingesting lycopene in the form of tomato juice, tomato sauce, and soft gel capsules for one week had significantly lower levels of LDL oxidized cholesterol compared with control groups. Possible mechanisms for tomatoes improving heart health include enhanced LDL degradation, LDL particle size and composition, less plaque build-up, and altered blood vessel function.
Researchers understand that the many nutrients found in tomatoes partially function individually, but also work together in many ways to protect lipoproteins and vascular cells from oxidation. For example, lutein found in tomatoes can also help prevent or slow down the thickening of the arteries.
Oxidation is the most widely accepted theory for the development of atherosclerosis, or hardening and thickening of the arteries that can lead to cardiovascular disease. Tomatoes are also a good source of potassium, and can help prevent blood pressure problems due to low potassium intake.
A protective compound called lutein is present in tomatoes, and it's very healthy for your eyes. Lutein is often studied in regards to eye health because it protects the eye's retina that we need for healthy vision. The retina is especially vulnerable during old age due to long-term damage of UV light radiation and oxidative stress from other factors. Among the many carotenoids present in the body, only lutein and zeaxanthin are found in that portion of the eye where light is focused by the lens, called the macula lutea.
Research shows that lutein in tomatoes might act like a natural macular degeneration treatment. Keep in mind that macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in older adults. For people not at a high risk for macular degeneration, eating tomatoes is just a good way to help improve vision and prevent cataracts or general deterioration of delicate eye tissue.
When it comes to fighting skin cancer with food, tomatoes should be at the top of your list. Tomatoes are an excellent vitamin C food, and vitamin C is crucial for keeping skin's immunity, elasticity, appearance and complexion strong into older age. One thing to note is that the vitamin C in tomatoes is most concentrated in the gel-like substance that surrounds tomato seeds – so be careful not to let this valuable juice "bleed out" too much and go to waste when cutting tomatoes.
Tomatoes' lutein also benefits skin health. Lutein is naturally present in the skin and animal studies have provided evidence of lutein's significant protection against light-induced skin damage or skin cancer, especially from ultraviolet wavelengths.
Recently lycopene has been linked to better bone health, especially in elderly people. A study investigating the effects of dietary sources of lycopene in the diets of older women found that those who lacked significant lycopene intake were at a higher risk for bone-related diseases and possibly osteoporosis.
This is why tomatoes and other lycopene-containing foods are recommended as part of an anti-aging, healing diet. Tomatoes are also a good source of nutrients like manganese, phosphorus and bone-building vitamin K.
The original tomato species first grew in parts of South America, particularly in the Andes Mountains, thousands of years ago. At the time, wild tomatoes appeared lumpier and were not as sweet or smooth as the modern day kind. They spread throughout the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas when sailors brought them back to Europe on their ships.
Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés is believed to be the first to transfer the small yellow tomato to Europe after he captured the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City, in 1521. Europeans first believed that tomatoes were a type of eggplant (they weren't far off) and divided them into segments to be cooked and seasoned with salt, black pepper and oil. After the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the Spanish distributed tomatoes throughout their colonies in the Caribbean and brought them to parts in Asia, including the Philippines.
The tomato grows easily in warm climates, so it spread across the Mediterranean and began widely being grown around the 1540s. The earliest discovered cookbook with tomato recipes was published in Naples, Italy in 1692! In Italy, tomatoes were grown mainly for decorations at first and weren't considered a staple food for the common peasant population because they were not as filling as other fruits. It took several hundred years for different types of tomato species to appear and for recipes like marinara pasta sauce, pizza and chicken Parmesan to become popular.
Today, tomatoes are one of the most common vegetables (or fruits) grown in the U.S. in people's own gardens. They even have a reputation for "out-producing the needs of the growers" because they tend to take off and grow loads of tomatoes all at once during the summer months. "Heirloom" tomatoes have especially become popular among home gardeners and organic producers since they come in a variety of bright colors, varying tastes and sizes. China, India, the U.S and Turkey are the leading growers of tomatoes worldwide.
Look for vine-ripened tomatoes at farmers market or specialty stores and ideally choose organic tomatoes when possible. Amazingly some research suggests that a tomato grown in a greenhouse (or hot-house) has about half the vitamin C content as its vine-ripened cousin!
On a side note, tomatoes are thought to be one of the foods that people rarely get to appreciate at their peak because many commercially grown tomatoes are picked when under-ripe and green and then made to artificially ripen using greenhouses that hold ethylene gas. This might mean your tomato looks normal and red when it's available for you to purchase in grocery stores, but neither will the nutrients be the same nor will the taste be comparable to the real thing.
Remember that the protective properties of lycopene, especially when it comes to cancer prevention, are most beneficial and absorbable when they're consumed with a fat-rich food. This is why it's a great idea to eat tomatoes along with healthy fats likeavocado, olive or coconut oil, nuts and seeds, or fatty fish like salmon. Why is this the case? Carotenoids are fat-soluble nutrients, which means they get maximum absorption only when you eat them with a source of natural fat.
This doesn't mean you should make a point to eat greasy pizza all the time, however! It just means to make a point of adding some real, oil-based dressing to your salad, or other forms to fat to veggie-based meals (including those with leafy greens or cruciferous veggies, which also have fat-soluble nutrients) in order to boost your absorption.
You can use all types of tomatoes – whether roma, beef steak, cherry or grape – in diverse ways, including eating them raw, adding them to sauces cooked or even having some in a juice or smoothie. Tomatoes go great with garlic, oil, fresh herbs of all kinds (especially basil and parsley), onions, avocado, peppers, beans and leafy greens.
DIRECTIONS: Add all ingredients to vegetable juicer. Gently stir juice and consume immediately.
Although tomatoes come loaded with benefits, keep in mind that they are a nightshade vegetable that can aggravate health conditions for some people. Green tomatoes contain a substance called solarnine, which may be aggravating to people with conditions like arthritis or some other autoimmune-related diseases. Nightshade vegetables are also somewhat of a common allergy, at least when it comes to fruits and vegetables.
Many health professionals council people with painful arthritis symptoms to avoid nightshades altogether, although some say the benefits of doing this will vary a lot depending on someone's exact tolerance – so it isn't always necessary to do so. Tomatoes are also usually avoided by people with gerd, or other reflux disorders like heartburn because of their higher level of acid.
If you have acid reflux symptoms or stomach, joint or muscle pain frequently, laying off tomatoes might be smart to test your reaction. Or if you experience unexplained digestive issues that might suggest a possible food sensitivity, you can try doing anelimination diet that cuts out all nightshade vegetables, including all types of tomatoes. These diets are usually most helpful when you follow them strictly for at least six weeks, so although this might sound a little daunting, it's worth a try for helping to reduce further inflammation and swelling.

What Happens When Drug Labs Do Not Follow Protocols?
On behalf of Escobar & Associates posted in Drug Charges on Tuesday, September 11, 2012.
In the past few years, there have been a number of incidents across the country in which crime labs have been investigated for failing to adhere to standards and regulations. In such situations, when a crime lab is found to have acted improperly, evidence previously admitted in court must be reviewed.
Most recently, a drug lab in Massachusetts was closed, amid allegations that one of its chemists did not adhere to testing protocols for drug evidence. The crime lab was responsible for certifying drug evidence. In other words, the lab would test substances found as evidence and identify the type and quantity of the substance.
Now, many people previously convicted on drug charges, stemming from certifications made by the lab, may be able to dispute the determinations previously made by the lab. The state police spokesperson indicated a review will be conducted and prosecutors will be notified of the cases on which the chemist worked.
Crime labs in other areas around the country have faced similar problems. For instance, a lab in Detroit was closed a few years ago, after it was determined the lab was not properly handling the evidence. In addition, a lab tech in San Francisco was accused of taking cocaine from submitted evidence, resulting in the dismissal of hundreds of criminal cases.
Lab technicians who deliberately fail to follow established protocols, as police indicate was the case at the Massachusetts lab, may face criminal charges themselves. The state police spokesperson said, "We are concerned that in some of the cases, there's a likelihood that justice was not served, that a defendant did not get a fair trial and that it's possible that people may be incarcerated unjustly."

As part of our series of blogs on predictions for our changing times, we are re-publishing an article by Bhagawati from Osho News. She writes about the the Cathar Prophecy made in 1244.
"Much has been written and speculated about the Cathars who settled in the Languedoc region in France during the eleventh century; there is no clear evidence where they came from but clues in their belief and practice point to extremely early Christian origins, and in all likelihood they spread from the Byzantine Empire to Bulgaria, and on to the Balkans and Northern Italy. Although they called themselves Christians, the Catholic Church called them Albigenses, or Cathars.
The Languedoc was famous for its high culture and the Cathar religion gained more and more supporters and devotees during the twelfth century, and by the early thirteenth century Catharism was probably the majority religion in the area, supported by the nobility as well as the common people. This was of course an anathema to the Catholic Church, as also the fact that many of their own priests defected. The Cathars presented the largest doctrinal challenge faced by the Catholic Church in the twelfth century.
The Cathars maintained a church hierarchy yet rejected any idea of priesthood or the use of church buildings. They believed in reincarnation and refused to eat meat or other animal products; they regarded men and women as equals and had no doctrinal objection to contraception, euthanasia or suicide. It follows that the Catholic Church condemned them as heretics. Following that logic, the infamous Inquisition proceeded to massacre them in their usual zealousness, wiping out every single one of them; the Cathar's last stronghold was the fortress of Montségur which was entirely pulled down by the victorious royal forces after its capture in 1244.
It has no membership – save those who know they belong.
It has no rivals – because it is non-competitive.
It has no ambition, because it only seeks to serve.
It knows of no boundaries for nationalisms are unloving.
Those who participate, practise the Truth of Love in all their daily being.
Those who are, know. It seeks not to teach but to be, and by being, enrich.
It recognises that the way we are may be the way of those around us because we are that way.
It recognises the whole planet as a Being, of which we are a part.
It salutes all those in the past who have blazoned the path but paid the price.
Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being and their eyes and by no other outward sign, save the fraternal embrace.
Each one will dedicate his or her life to the silent loving of their neighbour and environment and the planet, whilst carrying out their daily task, however exalted or humble.
It has no rewards to offer, either here or in the hereafter, save that of the ineffable joy of being and loving.
Its members shall seek only to advance the cause of understanding, within whichever church, group or family they happen to be.
They shall do good by stealth and teach only by example.
They shall know no fear, and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds.
It has no secrets, no arcanum, no initiations save that of the true understanding of the power of love and that, if we want it to be so, the world will change but only if we change ourselves first.
Many churches, groups and sects are impositions by the few on the many, preying on weakness.
The Church of Love is the reverse, it liberates and promotes individual strength.
Such vestigial structure as it eventually may have, must come from those who know they are a part of it.
I understand every word of the prophecy because it is who I am! I want to know more about the Cathars. The words resonate from deep within me.
Are we not seeing and experiencing this prophecy in our lives at this time.

Q: Count unique rows of data based on the values in two columns I have a multidimensional array like below and I want to create another array which shows the unique number of users per city.
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [city] => Melbourne
            [date_added] => 1435852550
            [user_name] => user_1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [city] => Melbourne
            [date_added] => 1435852550
            [user_name] => user_1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3
            [city] => Sydeny
            [date_added] => 1435852550
            [user_name] => user_2
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [id] => 4
            [city] => Perth
            [date_added] => 1435852550
            [user_name] => user_3
        )
    [4] => Array
        (
            [id] => 5
            [city] => Perth
            [date_added] => 1435852550
            [user_name] => user_4
        )
)

What I am trying to get is the unique number of users per city like the below:
Array
(
    [Melbourne] => 1
    [Sydeny] => 1
    [Perth] => 2
)

A: use the city as index, and array user_names array as value, then map the value to lentgth of the value.
foreach($array as $v)
{
  $temp[$v['city']][$v['user_name']] = 1;
}
$result = array_map(function($v){return count($v);}, $temp);

A: The solution using array_reduce function:
// $arr is your initial array

$hash = [];
$counts = array_reduce($arr, function($r, $a) use(&$hash){
    $hash_str = $a['city'] .'|'. $a['user_name'];
    if (!in_array($hash_str, $hash)) {
        $hash[] = $hash_str;
        (!isset($r[$a['city']]))? $r[$a['city']] = 1 : $r[$a['city']] += 1;
    }
    return $r;
}, []);

print_r($counts);

A: @LF00's answer is looping just twice and using a nested set of associative keys to group the data.  I recommend this approach over any other approach which calls in_array().
The functional-style version of @LF00's answer would be:
Code: (Demo)
var_export(
    array_map(
        'count',
        array_reduce(
            $array,
            function($result, $row) {
                $result[$row['city']][$row['user_name']] = true;
                return $result;
            }
        )
    )
);

@LF00's answer could be more concise in its call of count() in array_map().
Code: (Demo)
$result = [];
foreach ($array as $row) {
    $result[$row['city']][$row['user_name']] = true;
}
var_export(array_map('count', $result));

After the Fourth…
The 4th of July remembrance of the Signing of Independence of thee United States is a Great Historical Celebration for Patriots all around…
But what happened after the Fourth of July 1776?
Well — Let's See …
Fifty-six delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia signed the United States Declaration of Independence — a statement announcing that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. The Continental Congress declared its freedom from Britain on July 2, 1776, when it approved a resolution and delegates from New York were given permission to make it a unanimous vote. John Adams thought July 2 would be marked as a national holiday for generations to come. July 4 is when the Declaration was adopted.
After voting on independence, the Continental Congress needed to finalize a document explaining the move to the public. It had been proposed in draft form by the Committee of Five comprised of John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, and it took two days for the Congress to agree on the various edits. Six people signed the Declaration and also the Constitution. But Benjamin Franklin was literally among a handful of people who signed both historic documents. The others were George Read, Sherman, Robert Morris, George Clymer and James Wilson.
Although the wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved by Congress on July 4, 1776, the date of its signing has been disputed. Most of the members of the Continental Congress signed a version of the Declaration in early August 1776 in Philadelphia. The names of the signers were released publicly in early 1777.
But still what happened after the 4th of July to the signatories is rather important as it shows that Liberty and Freedom are hard won and there are costs — heavy cots, that have to be borne by those who believe in it…
So if You have ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence — here it goes:
Their story. . .
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were judges, lawyers, and jurists.
Eleven were merchants.
Nine were farmers, and plantation farm owners; men of means, well educated, with large families and dependent employees & staff.
But they all put their lives on the line and signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that if they were captured — the penalty would be death.
And for some that was their fate…
Still others survived but lost everything they owned.
For example: Carter Braxton of Virginia, a planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she was tortured and died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and the afterglow, and silently thank these great patriots.
It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!

Life in Google's world
Google's tentacles are reaching far to our everyday lives, which has many observers worried about free speech and the invasion of privacy
By Alex Williams / NY TIMES SERVICE
As Dan Firger, a law student at New York University, strolls from class to class during the course of his day or pauses for a breather in Washington Square Park, his mobile phone is routinely buzzing inside his messenger bag. He can often guess who it is: Google.
Six to eight times a day, text messages pop up, courtesy of Google Calendar, a free daily organizer introduced this year. The program can scan appointments and send reminders of coming events.
Google is everywhere in Firger's life. He scours the Web with its search engine; he chats with friends in Bolivia using Google Talk; and he receives e-mail messages on a Google Gmail account.
Dan Firger, a law student, goes nowhere without Google Calendar's aid in New York.
"I find myself getting sucked down the Google wormhole," Firger said with equal parts resentment and admiration. "It's all part of Google's benign dictatorship of your life."
It seems almost quaint to recall how people used to think Google was everywhere, back around 2003, when its search engine became a cultural phenomenon and a verb. Since then, in a push for global ubiquity, Google has introduced more than two dozen applications and tools. And last week it bought YouTube, the 18-month-old video-sharing site, one of the most habit-forming services on the Web.
While the company says it will keep the YouTube name and Web address, the acquisition gives Google's regular users — 41 percent of those who search the Internet, according to Nielsen/NetRatings — one more reason to feel they are living on Planet Google.
Since the dawn of personal computing, software makers have sought to be not just providers of products, but universes unto themselves, into which users merge a piece of their identity. Consumers label themselves Macintosh people or derive a psychic sense of belonging from an e-mail address that places them at aol.com or yahoo.com.
Marketing experts consider a Web site an experience — different from using a product like a soft drink — because it's someplace you go, an arena in which you live out your life. And in this way many people develop a sense of intimacy within it, even trust.
People may think they use Google because they like it, but really, "it's the reverse," said Rashi Glazer, a business professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director of its Center for Marketing and Technology. "You use something and in seeing yourself using it, you say to yourself, 'Hey, I'm using it all the time, must be because I'm loyal to it.' It becomes a virtuous circle."
Donna Hoffman, a founder of eLab 2.0, a research center at the University of California, Riverside, that studies online consumer behavior, said that Google has, in the minds of many users, "become one with the Internet," achieving a meta-status because as the most-used search engine, "it literally augments your brain. I don't have to remember quite a few things now because Google can remember them for me. Google is an additional memory chip."
Some people give their brains over to Google willingly, in part because they accept the anti-corporate credo of the company's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin: Do no evil.
"I really think of them as the good guys' response to the evil empire," said Donald Hubin, a philosophy professor at Ohio State University, referring to Microsoft. Hubin said he uses one Google program or another hundreds of times a day: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Earth, Picasa or Google Scholar, which allows academics to troll for books and peer-reviewed papers.
"Microsoft always seems to be trying to force you to do things their way, like when they released the version of Windows with Internet Explorer embedded, forcing you to use it," Hubin said, explaining how he could develop a sense of intimacy with one Internet behemoth yet view another with distrust.
Like Apple, Google has lured the young and the early adopters by making the utilitarian — say, Gmail — seem hip. Part of the allure stems from the clean Euro-minimalist design of its applications. Part of it stems from the company's reputation for innovation.
Google is "very leading edge, very young and very appealing to 20- and 30-year-olds," said Russell Winer, a professor of marketing at the Stern School of Business at NYU. "If you walked around with a Google T-shirt, people would think that's a hip thing to wear."
Some Google disciples, mainly younger ones, are in denial that Google is a huge corporation, out to make money from them, said John Perry Barlow, a founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco and a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society of Harvard Law School.
"They see a couple of basically OK young guys — and they still are, in my opinion — join forces with a truly decent older guy and resolve not to be 'evil."' Barlow wrote by e-mail, referring to Brin, Page and Eric Schmidt, Google's chief executive. "How cool is that? What they don't understand is that once a company sells its soul to the stockholders — which it must at that point — good versus evil is no longer a practical consideration. Google has already crossed that Rubicon."
Google has had its share of controversies. In January it rankled free-speech advocates by agreeing to censor its search service in China to gain a greater foothold there. While Google may seem ubiquitous thanks to its dominance of Internet searches — Yahoo is in second place — the company lags far behind in areas like e-mail and chat, partly because it is a recent entrant.
Still, few in Silicon Valley would discount Google's potential to become a larger part of more people's daily lives. While Yahoo was, according to figures released last month by comScore Media Metrix, the American market leader in users, with 129.7 million, the company grew only 5 percent in users over the previous year. But Google, now at 107.4 million, grew by 23 percent.
The expansion of Google's reach into so many areas of people's lives has some worried. Other than the US National Security Agency, said Kevin Bankston, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, "I don't think any entity has ever been in a position to collect so much private data about people.
"This kind of profile-building, if it was being done by authorities in a Communist regime, people would immediately object."
For its part, the company takes "the responsibility of holding our users' data very seriously," said an e-mail message from Courtney Hohne, a spokeswoman for Google, which is based in Mountain View, California. "We're thinking about user privacy constantly, literally from the earliest stages of product design."
In its fight for mind share — of the overall market and of the consciousness of users — Google seems poised to extend itself even further.
Many users seem committed to the company, even when they are skeptical of its reach. Firger, the law student, acknowledged feeling a "weird tension" about his love of Google's products and his fear about its omnipresence in his life.
"I don't know if I want all my personal information saved on this massive server in Mountain View, but it is so much of an improvement on how life was before, I can't help it," he said.
Toni Carreiro, a Web designer in San Rafael, California, and a self-described Google addict, said that the elegant simplicity of Google's design is a blank slate upon which she can impose her own personality: It's not there to sell you on anything, just to help you, while other sites, she said, are full of blinking ads and clutter.
"They have all this animation going," she said. "I just want my stuff. That's what Google gives you — 'me.'"


Money Magazine has just released their annual list of the Top 100 Places to Live. I'm always attracted to the list because as I get closer to my military retirement I'm often asked where I'll live. For many this question is a foregone conclusion. They'll return to their home of record, closer to family, their follow-on job, or to a home they've purchased years ago.
For others, there is uncertainty. They aren't tied to any particular area and are flexible to choose a home based on their tastes and experiences.
So, what criteria can you use to select the best places to retire?
Let's consider Money Magazine's list. The magazine considers criteria like average income, cost of a family home, weather, access to health care, education, entertainment and recreation.
For military retirees, access to military bases and facilities must be considered. Access to healthcare, commissaries, exchanges, fitness centers, and other benefits unique to military retirees is a huge factor in selecting a home.
Papillion, NE makes another appearance in the list, once again in the #5 position. It's an attractive alternative for military retirees because of the close proximity of Offutt Air Force Base.
The Money Magazine list provides military members considering retirement a good resource to explore as they narrow down their choices. It's interesting to note, I think, that the list is different every year. The bottom line is that America is full of great places to live. For military members, the added factor of living in reasonable proximity to major military bases helps narrow down the choices.
I am from Vermont, for example. Vermont doesn't have a military facility, but nearby states like New York and Massachusetts do. By mapping out bases and then determining the distance you'd be willing to travel to get there on a regular basis, you can begin to create short lists of places to investigate.
For me, I am willing to drive 40 minutes to reach a base. While Vermont is out of reach, I could live in New Hampshire near the Portsmouth Naval Yard, and still be close to family while taking advantage of New Hampshire's reasonable taxes.
Everyone has their own criteria, but a military retiree must consider access to services as an important resource. A good reference is About.com's list of U.S. Military Bases and Installations.
Money Magazine's most popular issue is their annual list of the Top 100 Places to Live. I'm always attracted to the list because as I get closer to my military retirement I'm often asked where I'll live. For many this question is a foregone conclusion. They'll return to their home of record, closer to family, their follow-on job, or to a home they've purchased years ago.
Consider Cheyenne Wyoming, for example. While not ranked in the top 100 cities on the Money List, it is easily within driving distance to the number 6 city, Fort Collins Colorado. With F.E. Warren Air Force Base located in the city, a low cost of living, no state income tax, almost no crime, and clean air, Cheyenne offers the military retiree a great place to settle down.
If you prefer a warmer climate, consider Gilbert Arizona. Close to Luke Air Force Base and Phoenix, Gilbert ranked number 36 on the magazine's annual poll. It was highlighted for it's access to professional sports teams, cultural events, large parks and access to recreation. While exceptionally hot in the summers, you won't see nicer weather than Arizona in the winter.


If our pet guests could "talk", they'd have lots of great things to say about their experiences at Pet's Best Friend! Lucky for us, their pet parents have put into words just how much their furry friends like us! As for us, the "smiles" on their faces say it all!
"Seven years ago, I was looking for someone to come in to check on my sweet kitten, Davinci when I was heading out of town for the weekend. Little did I know what a wonderful relationship that was about to form. A few years later, my husband moved to Rocky Mount with Maverick, his chinchilla. I know many people do not know about these little balls of fur, but they are time consuming, adorable creatures that must have daily attention. To our complete surprise, Susan knew about them and was able to watch both the cat and the mouse when we were out of town!
A few years down the road, minus our sweet Davinci, we got a different bundle of furry sweetness. Cassie! I remember calling PBF and speaking to Robin and asking 1,000 questions about them coming in to do walks during the day. Since my husband and I both work at the hospital, Cassie would need some attention during the day. She and Susan came over to meet Cassie and go over some things. I had never had a puppy and was like a new mother hen over her. Susan was the sweetest thing and just kept smiling…and looking back I know she was chuckling at my neurotic self. Let's be honest, I look back and laugh at myself. Anyway, within a few months, Cassie was old enough to go to daycare. Well, you would have thought I had given the puppy the biggest filet mignon there was. She LOVED it there! In the coming weeks and months, all I would have to do is ask Cassie if she wanted to go and play, and immediately she would run to the door of the car.
"Dee Dee is my rescue dog. She was a puppy, now a year old. The doggie daycare has been a blessing for her and for me. Socializing with other dogs in a monitored indoor and outdoor facility, has been wonderful. This is my third dog being at Pet's Best Friend. Previous Shepherd and Corgi, all love their pet sitting service and 'day of beauty' in the hands of the staff."
"AMAZING! This is how I would describe Pet's Best Friend! Drake, our black Labrador, has been attending daycare since he was about 4 months old, he's now 15 months and still goes 1-2 days/week. PBF is his home away from home where my husband and I don't feel "guilty" leaving him all day. I know Drake loves daycare because he never looks back when we drop him off; he trots off with his human friends, tail up and wagging. The price is extremely reasonable and we are very fortunate Rocky Mount has such an elite business for our 4 legged friends. I also admire that Susan and Van Baker require additional vaccines besides Rabies to ensure the healthiest environment possible. I have received texts/phone calls if Drake has had something foreign in his stool (he's a Lab, this will happen) and comments to follow stating, "oh but he's acting just fine!" This goes to show the dogs are monitored and it's not a chaotic, unsupervised environment. OH! And, if we can't make it to pick up Drake in time, no worries, they will take him home on their Pet Taxi!!!! What more could you ask for?! The Lewis family is a HUGE fan of PBF and their wonderful and educated employees! Nothing is more gratifying than not having to worry about your pet during the day, knowing they are in wonderful hands.
In addition to the above, I must comment on the training and education the employees go through. PBF has their own certified trainer on staff that is called in if certain problematic situations arise. Employee training is performed with their trainer to ensure the safest environment possible for the dogs. Training classes are also offered on a 6 week basis, 1 night/week. Drake attends these classes and has successfully passed his Canine Good Citizen certification thanks to the training and guidance provided by Engel Hicks.
"I think Charlie's reaction at the mention of Aunt Susan's name and his monthly spa day is priceless. He pounces me, kisses me then steps over me to get to the back door raring to go.
"I have known Susan Baker since college. She started a great business that I have used for over 12 years. My Collie/Lab Dolly loved her and Susan did a wonderful service for me. I was laid off from QVC in 2009, and Dolly died that same night. Susan was there. She loves animals, and cares deeply. I would trust no one else with my pets."
"I had the honor of being one of Pet's Best Friend's first clients in 1993. My two cats, Cleo and Oscar, and my blonde cocker spaniel, Pris, enjoyed their dedicated care all their lives, to age 16. My yellow lab, Sadie, and kitties Hannah and Samuel, were treated royally and spoiled by Van and Susan; 14 years for Sadie and Hannah, and Samuel still at age 15, and dealing with diabetes. When I travel to California to visit my son, Van comes for Samuel three times a day for his glucose monitoring and insulin shot, as well as to give him his canned food at noon. Special needs for Sadie required Van to come 4 times a day in the last two years of her life. Susan came to my house the night I fell and broke my hip, used her key to let the paramedics in, and got my Sadie and took her to her home and put her in bed with she and Van! When I called 911, I gave them the number of Pet's Best Friend to call to come get Sadie. They rushed right over here on a Sunday night around 8:30 pm. They will not only love and cherish your fur kids as much as you do, they will also come to your own rescue! Having them as partners in your pets' lives is such a great blessing."

Danish Pork Chops at the Top of the World
DENMARK - The Danish Crown group exports meat to more than 130 countries around the world but until now it has been impossible to buy fresh pork meat from the group in the mountainous state Nepal in Himalaya.
Meanwhile the thrifty meat wholesaler Sanu Khadgi has now changed this. He has made sure that people living in the capital Kathmandu now has the chance of eating Danish pork meat from Danish Crown.
In July the first 20 ft container filled with pork loins with bones, hams, bellies and spare ribs arrived in Kathmandu.
"This has been a really exciting job initiating the first Danish pork meat export to Nepal and now we are naturally excited to learn how our products are received by the consumers," says Peter Frederiksen, export manager in Danish Crown.
Visit to Denmark Paved the Way
ESS-FOOD, a subsidiary of Danish Crowns, was initially in the month of March contacted by Sanu Khadgi, who showed an interest in importing Danish pork meat to Nepal.
"I do not know of anyone in the Danish pork meat sector selling raw material to Nepal prior to this, but Mr Khadgi's company in Kathmandu already has a firm knowledge of Denmark. He therefore decided to come to Denmark to see Danish Crown slaughterhouses and product quality in his own eyes," says Lars Bo Hansen, Area Export Manager in ESS-FOOD.
Challenging Transportation
Lars Bo Hansen and Peter Frederiksen received the guest from Nepal themselves at the Danish Crowns pig slaughterhouse in Ringsted and following a successful visit the parties agreed on the first shipment of Danish Crown pork meat to Nepal.
The country does not have any ports so the container with Danish pork meat was sent to Calcutta in India. From there it was shipped by lorry which may only carry 20 ft containers due to the mountain route conditions. The trip from Calcutta to Kathmandu and back to the port takes two weeks.
"Initially these are relatively small sized quantities but time will tell how large they may grow into in future. At any rate we are prepared when content of the first container has been sold in Nepal shops," says Peter Frederiksen.


For the misnamed 18th century compilation, see Dublin Annals of Inisfallen.
An excerpt (Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. B. 503, folio 30r). The text refers to an event dated 1094, and reads in Irish "Macc Congail, rí na Rend, do marbad", which translates into English as "Congal's son, king of Na Renna, was slain".
The Annals of Inisfallen are a chronicle of the medieval history of Ireland. There are more than 2,500 entries spanning the years between 433 and 1450. The manuscript is thought to have been compiled in 1092, as the chronicle is written by a single scribe down to that point but updated by many different hands thereafter. It was written by the monks of Innisfallen Abbey, on Innisfallen Island on Lough Leane, near Killarney in Munster, but made use of sources produced at different centres around Munster as well as a Clonmacnoise group text of the hypothetical Chronicle of Ireland.
As well as the chronological entries, the manuscript contains a short, fragmented narrative of the history of pre-Christian Ireland, known as the pre-Patrician section, from the time of Abraham to the arrival of Saint Patrick in Ireland. This has many elements in common with Lebor Gabála Érenn. It sets the history of Ireland and the Gaels within Eusebian universal history, which is provided both by a Latin world chronicle and extracts from Réidig dam, a Dé, do nim, a Middle Irish poem attributed to Flann Mainistrech in later manuscripts.
The annals are now housed in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. In 2001, Brian O'Leary, a Fianna Fáil councillor in Killarney, called for the annals to be returned to the town.

Remember the days everyone used to carry coins and used to write cheques for money transaction. Recent years those coins and cheques are replaced by credit cards(plastic money). Those credit cards you now use instead are about to be replaced by your personal and always connected mobile phone. People are promoting the use of mobile phones as "digital wallets" that enable people to make real-world purchased using their phones.
Mobile and wireless communication technologies are being adopted with unprecedented velocity. Two-thirds of the world's population, 4 billion people, has a mobile phone with a predicted 5 billion subscribers by the end of this year. The worldwide Smartphone market grew 50 percent year over year in the last quarter of 2010, and a recent study by Juniper Research forecasts that nearly half of all mobile phone users worldwide will pay by mobile for digital and physical goods by 2014. Hundreds of touch based tablets are likely to add in mobile devices list which will increase the mobile subscribers. Then add to that base a new legion of IP addressable machines as subscribers – your car, fridge, games console, TV and so on.
Retail shopping is about to undergo a major change with consumers using their mobiles to not only pay for goods but to use them to scan bar codes and bring up on their mobiles internet information about the products to help them make a choice. Everything from the supply chain to the customer leaving the store with the product can be traced providing firms with detailed research they could not have dreamed possible. Customers will be able to get special offers before going into stores or be tempted to pop by as they enter the area in which the store is located.This brings exciting new opportunities for a sector that has been hard hit by the recessionary climate of the last few years.
In near 3 years every business have to have mobile application or site to sustain in market to compete with other products which are growing fast with mobile technologies and trends. The trick is to develop a mobile presence that has several factors: intuitive navigation, accurate search capability, pleasing design, enticing merchandising and easy, frictionless checkout.
The mobile apps allows users to browse for product, their details, reviews and they can compare the prices with other similar products. Ex. User can browse for specific outfit and "try on" an outfit by snapping a picture with the iPhone's camera. It then let's you share your outfits with friends on Facebook and Twitter. All of the features really add to the shopping experience, but most importantly, consumers are able to buy and bid on what they like.
They are investing more time and money into creative ways to reach consumers via their mobile phones with campaigns that enhance the brand identity or the shopping experience.
Location Based Services are being used to improve better communications, stronger ties and interactions among individuals and their communities, neighborhoods, local merchants, cities, local news, etc.
The biggest trend for now is Foursquare like apps, which allows people to "check-in" through their phones and reveal geographic locations they go to. Retailing stores are taking advantage of this user location information by providing coupons and freebies to those who check-in often or first.
International players are combining forces to improve shopping apps on mobile. Smartphone apps support barcode/QR code scanner features. When a user scans the barcode on any product, app searches for other on-line or local retailers that might sell it cheaper. Once user scan the code user can see all the details about product in fraction of seconds. There are couple of bargain Hunting site that updates daily with Internet shopping deals and coupons. Users checking prices on items using these shopping apps automatically get shown any on-line deals for that item from the consolidated database of products.
The fact that consumers are now able to find better deals via their mobile device is a win-win for everyone. It seems that shopping and saving money, just got a whole lot easier.
2D barcode or QR code technology is becoming quite popular for a mobile device for user to purchase a ticket for a movie, travel, music concerts, sports events etc., and store the ticket on their mobile device for redemption at a later date.
Pointing the phone's camera at a bar code instantly takes a consumer to extended product information, a website, video content, maps, social media, and contact information or even to dial a phone number. The consumer does not need to type a thing to immediately engage with a product or brand.
The regions of Western Europe and North America are also growing at a rapid pace with a projected 15 billion Mobile Ticketing transactions by year 2014.
The two main methods that mobile device users are currently utilizing for Mobile Payment are – remote digital; purchasing (Barcodes/SMS) tickets for movies, travel, music concerts, sports events etc., (popular in Europe).
The other method is remote physical; POS-purchasing, such as consumer items, clothing tickets, books, electronic equipment, CD's etc., (popular in China, Far East & Japan). This user base may be as high as 2.5 billion worldwide, by year 2014. Also mobile banking allows customers to access their bank account information and perform financial transactions such as purchasing stocks, remittance of money to other account etc.
New 3G & 4G Smartphone devices allow user to get information about the product on a single finger tip and allow user to complete the transitions in few seconds. PayPal recently unveiled its two-click smartphone payment system called Mobile Express Checkout.
In future 4G systems with more security, higher speeds, higher capacity, lower costs, and more intelligent infrastructures and devices will help realize m-commerce applications. With improved wireless security and privacy through data encryption and user education, on the one hand, and with the wide deployment of 4G systems, on the other hand, it is anticipated that m-commerce will become the most dominant method of conducting business transactions.

Kim Jong Un: North Korea to focus on economy and food in 2022
North Korean leader says Pyongyang's main goals will be jump starting economic development and improving people's lives as it faces a "great life-and-death struggle".
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has put the economy front and centre of an agenda-setting speech at the end of a key ruling party meeting.
Instead of the policy positions on diplomacy, for which Kim's New Year statements have been closely watched in recent years, he focused on food security and development at a meeting on Friday of the central committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.

In a speech at the end of the party meeting, Kim acknowledged the "harsh situation" in 2021 as he laid out plans for the coming year.
The impoverished, nuclear-armed nation has been under a rigid self-imposed coronavirus blockade that has resulted in the country's biggest economic contraction in over two decades in 2020, according to the South Korean central bank.
Kim described the challenges of 2022 as "a great life-and-death struggle" and set "an important task for making radical progress in solving the food, clothing and housing problem for the people", the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
Concerns have grown about a full-blown food crisis in North Korea, and a United Nations human rights expert warned in October that the most vulnerable were "at risk of starvation".
Kim, who took power just over a decade ago after the death of his father Kim Jong Il, said battling the pandemic was one of the main goals for the coming year.
Survival mode
In his speech, Kim did not mention the United States or directly address foreign policy issues.
But he said Pyongyang would continue to build up its military capabilities keeping in mind "the military environment of the Korean peninsula" and the changing international situation.
That includes ensuring loyalty and obedience in the military, improving militias, and "the production of the powerful equipment corresponding with the modern warfare", Kim said.
"Overall, Kim might be aware that revealing sophisticated military development plans while people are suffering food shortages and harsh conditions outside of Pyongyang might not be such a good idea this year," tweeted Chad O'Carroll of specialist website NK News.
"North Korea is more or less in survival mode for 2022 – and doesn't really know what to do… (about) foreign policy right now."

Pyongyang is under multiple sets of international sanctions over its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, which have progressed rapidly under Kim.
But the worsening economic situation during the pandemic has not blunted those programmes, and North Korea has continued to pursue weapons development, a UN report said in October.
