Information and Educational Technology is recruiting a 50 percent position for a faculty director to lead Academic Technology Services, the IET unit that provides educational technology services to support teaching and learning, both within the classroom and online.
Peter M. Siegel, campus chief information officer, announced the recruitment in a letter to deans, directors, department heads and the Academic Senate.
The new director must be a member of the Academic Senate. A key part of the job will be ensuring "effective coordination with the faculty community on all aspects of educational technology investments and priorities," Siegel wrote.
"\035I am not looking for a faculty member with technical expertise in educational or information technologies. Quite the contrary,"\035 he said. Siegel established the position because educational technologies are critical to campus excellence and have a daily impact on "literally every faculty program."
Increasingly, he noted, "\034the success of large classes, improved time-to-degree, and other measures of program success depend on those technologies, and are more and more essential given the high costs of classroom construction and renovations.\035"
The strong technical and operational leadership in ATS will allow the faculty director to focus on building campus partnerships and directing the program, Siegel said.
The ATS portfolio includes SmartSite, computer rooms, classroom technological support , audio-visual and illustration services, and more. Current ATS Director Liz Gibson, commended by Siegel for excellent service to IET and UC Davis, resigned this spring, effective May 27.
The new director will report to Siegel and serve a three-year, potentially renewable term that starts in September. Faculty nominations should be submitted to vpiet-info@ucdavis.edu by June 15, 2011. More information about the position is available in Siegel's letter.


Last week, Health Matters had the pleasure of completing a successful programme of Health Checks for the employees of the Health & Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI).
The HSENI governs, promotes and sets the standards for the principles that form the basis of many of the services that Health Matters as an organisation deliver upon. It was therefore a great privilege and compliment to be appointed by our lead body.
Feedback was excellent, with employees communicating many benefits of being afforded the opportunity to undertake such health checks as part of their employment.
The programme lasted 3 days and was rolled out over a 2-week period.
Important: The Health Checks provided as part of this service are not, and do not, meet the requirements of Statutory Health Surveillance. Health Checks are considered an employee benefit by providing an employee with information on their personal health status. Please contact our Occupational Health department via email – catherineb@hmohs.com if you require further information on Statutory Health Surveillance.

'Tiger' trailer: HBO explores Tiger Woods' rise, fall and return
By Annie Martin
Dec. 22 (UPI) -- HBO is giving a glimpse of its new documentary Tiger.
The network shared a trailer for the two-part series Tuesday that explores professional golfer Tiger Woods' rise, fall and return to golf.
The preview opens with home movie footage of Woods as a child and references his beginnings as a golf prodigy. Woods' father, Earl Woods, introduced Woods to the sport and guided his career.
Woods experienced a meteoric rise to fame, which brought much public scrutiny to his personal life. The series will revisit Woods' much-publicized cheating scandal and DUI arrest.
The trailer ends by celebrating Woods' comeback to golf. Woods won his first major in 11 years at the 2019 Masters tournament.
"He got clean, he got healthy, and he crawls out of that hole," a person says in a voiceover. "This is the comeback of all comebacks."
Tiger hails from HBO Sports and Jigsaw Productions. The documentary is directed by Matthew Heineman and Matthew Hamacheck and features the first sit-down interview with Rachel Uchitel, the woman at the center of Woods' sex scandal.
Tiger will premiere Jan. 10 at 9 p.m. EST on HBO and conclude Jan. 17 at 9 p.m.

Hope you are having a happy day. Handy Hubby and I have never been super into Valentine's Day. Before we had kids, we never saw the point of going out for a romantic dinner in overcrowded, overpriced, and understaffed restaurants just for the sake of a day. We often ended up in our local Mexican favorite-of-the-minute (we eat a lot of Mexican food) because those places were always empty on the "fancy nights".
Now that we have kids, we give the kids a little candy (a definite treat for them) and big hugs when they wake up. When Elizabeth went to kindergarten last year, we started doing school Valentines. Her preschool was somewhat anti-commercialized so they did not allow kids to bring in Valentines. So, kindergarten became a whole new outlet for my pent-up creativity. Check out last year's here.
First I cut some 4.5"x6" cardstock from the scrapbook aisle at Michael's. I also invested in this little paper trimmer which is intended for scrapbooking but I think it will come in handy for various craft, invitation, and birthday projects for years to come. It's similar to this one but I bought mine at A.C. Moore with a 40% off coupon.
Next, Elizabeth cut some "snow" out of 4x6 cards for the penguins to hang out on.
Then she glued the snow onto each card.
Lastly she attached the penguin to the card with a removable glue dot. (How is it that I never knew about Glue Dots until last year - the BEST!).
And my sweet and crafty Valentine girl!

Who loves a good steak? Who knows how to make a good steak at home? Most importantly, who knows how to buy a good cut of meat? I'll be honest with you, I used to be terrible at picking a perfect cut of meat. I would go to specific steak houses of hibachi restaurants just so I could get a good steak. That is until I went to a local grocery store with an amazing butcher her taught me everything I needed to know to make a delicious steak at home, and now I am going to share the details with you. Ladies, being able to make a steak at home is going to save you so much money. First you will need to make sure you have a cast iron skillet - this is the secret to amazing steak. You will also need salt and pepper, vegetable oil and of course steak. Good steaks include: ribeye, t-bone, strip, top sirloin. Chuck or Round is no good. Also filet mignon is good, however ribeyes are just as tasty and definitely cheaper. So let's get to perfecting that steak.
First you will want to let the steak come to room temperature as well as heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If it's frozen you will want to let it thaw in the fridge first. Season that baby! Rub salt and pepper into both sides of the steak. Heat the pan on high, add a teaspoon of oil and heat it until it smokes. Place the steak on the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, it should have some browning and come up off the pan easily. Don't forget to flip it, and cook it for another 5 minutes.
Take the pan off the stove and put it in the oven. Now you have think about how you like your steak, that will determine how ,long it cooks in the oven for.
Once cooked to perfection remove it from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will ensure you have a ridiculously juicy steak… yum! Trust me, you'll definitely love this recipe and not regret learning how to cook a steak sooner. Now let's get back to talking about steaks and how to tell a good one. I highly recommend visiting a local butcher shop to ask them questions about meat cuts, and how to tell what a good piece of meet is. Look into into butcher shop sarasota if you live in Florida, to learn about cuts and marbling. Butcher shops are able to physically show you the differences in meats, where I can really only do my best to explain them to you. In most cases you can get a reasonable piece of meat, and all the sides such as mashed potatoes (my favorite) for less then a meal at a restaurant. Let me know where you like to get your meat from and if you have any tips for me!
On Saturday morning I headed to Southfield to meet up with 60+ like-minded babes for the TIU Michigan 2nd Annual Galentine's Day get-together. Being apart of the Tone It Up (TIU) community has been absolutely amazing. I have gone to barre, brunch, Chicago and even meetups in the woods - and all have been so much fun. The babes I have met and friendships that have been created will last a lifetime and Saturday was no exception. We started the morning with a little meet and greet, Kundalini Yoga, followed by healthy snacks and plenty of swag from all of our amazing sponsors.
I'm sure most of you have not heard of Kundalini Yoga before, well it is a blend of Bhakti Yoga (the practice of devotion and chanting), Raja Yoga (the practice of meditation/ mental and physical control) and Shakti Yoga (the expression of power and energy). The goal of a well-taught class is to leave you feeling like you've gone to a therapy session, had a great workout, made it to your yoga mat and enjoyed a fun singing session with friends.
Last year at the first Tone It Up Galentine's event I tried Kundalini Yoga for the first time and absolutely loved it. Therefore I was definitely excited to give it a try again this year. Kundalini Yoga incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation and the chanting of mantras, such as "Sat Nam" which means "truth is my identity." The goal of the practice is to build physical vitality and increase consciousness. What I really loved about Kundalini Yoga is how it makes me feel about myself, it gives me so much body positivity and really makes me want to be better to my body and to myself. I truly feel like Kundalini helps get rid of negative energy and see things in a positive light which is 100 percent what I need in my life. I will do an entire post later on Kundalini Yoga so stay tuned!
After yoga, we got our snack on. We each brought a snack to share, so after our little photo shoot and yoga we indulged in some goodies. From salads and fruit to dessert hummus, pigs in a blanket and protein muffins there were plenty of goodies to indulge in. I am already excited about our next meetup with these wonderful babes.

Chocolate covered strawberries are a Valentine's Day staple. You'll find them at nearly every bakery and grocery store in town, but sometimes they come with a hefty price tag. I actually was at a bakery recently that was selling these bad boys for $5 EACH. That's absolutely insane and is the reason why this year I decided to make my own. I actually went to Aldi and bought strawberries, Aldi melting chocolate and a variety jar of sprinkles. All which cost under $6!
Chocolate covered strawberries are not only great for Valentine's Day, but they're the perfect dessert option for a romantic night in, girls night, a bridal shower and more. You may think that chocolate covered strawberries are too difficult to make, but the truth is they're not. With my tips and tricks, you can easily impress anyone with your beautiful berries.
Strawberries can be tricky to purchase depending on the time of year. My favorite berries are when I can pick them from a local Michigan farm in June, but it's February and not June so I had to head to the grocery store. The tastiest strawberries are actually the small ones, the larger berries typically have little to no flavor at all. You'll also want to find berries that have good stems that you can hold onto as you dip the berry into the chocolate.
Your berries should be dry when you dip them. So make sure you wash them, and then place them on paper towel allowing plenty of time for them to dry. The chocolate cannot adhere to a wet berry, not to mention water and chocolate do not mix well together.
Picking your chocolate. I actually believe this is a personal preference. I don't like using mini chips at all, but some people do. Sometimes I will go to a cake supply store and buy chocolate melts from them, and times like this I just buy my chocolate from Aldi. Whatever chocolate you prefer is the kind you should use for your berries. You can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate, or if you want an easy alternative, put it in a bowl in the microwave and melt it on defrost.
Impress your significant other this Valentine's Day with this decadent, yet simple, Peppermint Chocolate Swiss Roll. Have you ever made a swiss roll cake? It looks pretty tricky to make, doesn't it? Well, to be honest, it's actually super simple. Instead of it being a regular cake recipe, you'll want to make a sponge cake. What's the difference between a regular cake and a sponge cake? Well, this one is made up of flour, sugar, and eggs, no butter and oil. Once you whip up the batter for this cake you'll pour it into a large jelly roll pan that has been lined with parchment paper, and once it's done you will immediately turn the cake out onto a flour sake towel that is heavily coated in powdered sugar - this is so it doesn't stick. You'll roll the cake up in the towel, starting at the short side. Then you'll want to let it completely cool before you unroll it and spread the Hudsonville Peppermint Stick Ice Cream on it.
2. Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
3. Grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.
4. In a mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks (peaks will fall when you lift the beaters).
5. While mixing, slowly add in the 1/2 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
6. In a bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg yolks on medium speed for 3 minutes.
7. Add 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla.
8. Beat for 2 more minutes.
9. In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
10. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the 1/3 cup water to the egg yolk mixture in the stand mixer.
11. When thoroughly combined, fold the chocolate batter into the egg whites a little at a time.
12. Stir until completely combined.
13. Spread the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
14. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
15. While the cake bakes coat your bowl with powdered sugar.
16. When the cake is complete, immediately turn it onto the towel.
17. Remove the parchment paper from the cake.
18. Starting at the narrow end begin to roll the cake up in the towel.
19. Let the cake completely cool.
20. Carefully unroll the cooled cake.
21. Spread the ice cream evenly over the entire surface.
22. Roll the cake back up in the same way you did before, but this time without the towel.
23. Cover the cake in plastic wrap.
24. Place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
25. When ready to serve add a chocolate ganache.

Detroiters Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is coming to Detroit from Friday, March 29 - Sunday March 31, 2019, and I am hooking one lucky winner up with a 4-Pack of tickets to see the performance on Friday, March 29. Details for entering are below. Good luck to everyone who enters.
Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA, the 2013 Tony® Award-winning Broadway musical from the creators of The King & I and The Sound of Music, will play the Fox Theatre for a limited engagement from Friday, March 29 through Sunday, March 31 as part of the Fox Theatre Series, and I am so excited for the show. Last year Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA came to the Fisher Theatre and A and I went to go see it for my birthday. The show is not Disney, therefore you'll find quite a few changes throughout the show. However I absolutely loved it, and cannot wait to attend this year with some girlfriends. This performance would be great to take your family to, go with a significant other or checkout with your besties.
If you've been following along this year, you know that I recapped 2018 and set my intentions for 2019. The trend there is 2019 is all about being a goal-getter and going after what I want so I can live a more fulfilled life instead of being the girl that says "no" to a boat ride because I'm too insecure to wear a bathing suit.
I've set my intentions for work, wellness, finance…etc - and then some of you asked about my intentions for my love life…yikes! That was something that I didn't really think about, but a lot of you wanted help with, and frankly I could use a little help as well. Plus it's the first day of the month of love so why not talk about relationships. When I first started writing this I was going to tell you to write this list with your significant other, however I am going to retract that. I think it's important to have your own intentions and be mindful of them - plus this might just lead you to being in the best relationship of your life by 2020. For those of you that are engaged, married and such this is for you too. These ideas are general ones that everyone could be implementing into their relationship.
1. Focus on finding the good. It's no secret that optimism and gratitude make for a happy life, I even have this as one of my intentions for the year. Finding the good isn't just an individual effort, it's critical for a happy and healthy relationship too. It's easy to notice and vocalize what your partner is doing wrong, which can lead to resentment on both side. We've all found ourselves thinking about our partner's flaws, but try to reframe from these negative thoughts and think about what you like about them and what they do to make your life better. Start noticing more of the good, instead of the bad.
2. Plan more dates. With busy schedules sometimes the word "date" needs to be reevaluated. A date should be any time the two of you get quality alone time (dinner, a movie, grabbing coffee together, etc). If you have to schedule the date and say every Wednesday night we will do something just us, do that.
3. Learn your partner's love language. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Dr. Gary Chapman's #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Five Love Languages (there are various additions - I read the singles one). At the end of the book there is a quiz each you and your partner should take. This quiz will tell you what your love language is: Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts and Physical Touch. Once you each know your love language, this will help you interact with your partner better, which will help make both parties feel more appreciated.
4. Tell him/her what you want. No one reads minds, I don't know if you know that or not - but it's true. You have to say what you want, and mean what you say. Working on communicating exactly what you want from your partner and listening when they communicate with you will be key to a success relationship.
5. Set career and life goals to achieve together. It's that time of the year where we are all setting our own intentions for the new year, but did you ever think of including your partner in on them. Your partner is someone (well should be someone) who will help hold you accountable to reach the career goals they know you want to accomplish. When you share personal goals and make goals together it will help you feel like you're on a team, which leads to a more confident relationship.
6. Try something you both haven't done before. It's easy to get into the routine of I have done X before, but you haven't so lets go try it. While that's great for a few things get a little adventurous and make your relationship fresh and new. Try a new type of food together, go rock climbing, visit a city neither of you have been to…etc.
7. Plan a trip. Scheduling and going on a trip together could be a complete game changer for your relationship. Not only does it get you both out of your comfort zone, you're forced to spend quality time together which leads to gaining a stronger connection. Even if you can't afford a trip away, do something that gets you active in something besides a simple dinner out together.
8. Affection. You know the high of a new relationship, you have hand holding, kissing and intimacy whenever and whereever. If you don't keep things new, fresh and spicy eventually this fades and you're left wondering why he just won't hold your hand anymore or kiss you on the forehead when you're laying on the couch. Bring it all back, hold hands while you watch movies on the couch or get close and snuggle, random hugs and other things can score you points to bring back what you thought was lost.
9. Laugh more. Easier said then done sometimes if you're not a comedian, however laughing doesn't have to come from you - you can watch a comedy together and share laughs that way. One of my favorite memories is when A and I went bike riding and were coming up with "pet names" for each other as a joke - they were HILARIOUS and I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life, even now writing about it I have tears running down my face. Share and make those moments!
10. Say 'I Love You' more. Life is short, don't miss your chance to tell someone who means everything to you that you love and appreciate them. This is something I struggle with, I'm afraid to say it because I am afraid of the pain and hurt that it can bring - however you never know when something can happen and you don't want to live in the moment of regret because you didn't say what you wanted to.
11. Forgive and forget. If you're forgiving your partner that means you should forget it, because you've worked through it. You've seen their perspective and they have seen yours. Once you've forgiven that means it's a past issue, you understand the miscommunication and you've worked through it. Enough said, period.
12. Change your argument language. The way you speak has a major impact on everything from your intimacy to the way you two communicate. I tend to get loud, obviously this solves nothing and makes the situation a million times worse. I've learned that I get loud because I am so little I feel like I am not being heard (girl EVERYONE hears you) - therefore that is something I am actively working on. I learned that I need to focus on why I felt hurt, instead of what they did that made me feel that way. Instead of saying "I understand" when the other person would make a point I would get defensive, which just made the whole situation worse. Acknowledging their defense makes a world of a difference, because now you're both actively listening to each other. Fix the problem now so it's not one in the future.


Wellington, 11 October 2018 – An innovative approach to monitoring farm effluent runoff is reaping financial rewards for farmers with bonuses for farming excellence.
Miraka, a Taupo-based milk processor with more than 100 suppliers, is offering bonuses to farmers who meet the five criteria set out in its Te Ara Miraka Farming Excellence programme – people, the environment, animal welfare, milk quality and prosperity.
NZ agricultural technology company, Regen is helping Miraka farmers manage their effluent more effectively with a smartphone app that sends daily effluent irrigation text recommendations, as well as logs data to prove compliance – meeting the Te Taiao criteria, caring for the environment.
Miraka suppliers received at least $3 million in bonuses in the 2016/2017 season for meeting the five key criteria.
Bridgit Hawkins, Regen CEO says their work with Miraka's farmers is bringing a new level of transparency to farming practice, an issue that's even more important given the Government's new five-year water improvement plan, released earlier this week.
"With Miraka's focus on kaitiakitanga, they're encouraging incremental gains across their farming community – something we fully support. Effluent is an issue farmers deal with day in and day out, managing it well is key to sustainable farming, because it reduces nitrate leaching and the impact on our waterways – an issue the Government has highlighted in its plans to improve water quality".
Grant Jackson, Miraka General Manager of Milk Supply, says the goal of Te Ara Miraka is to minimise the impact on whenua and protect resources for future generations.
"Our farmers now have a better appreciation of the value and impact of their dairy effluent. Using Regen's technology, they've taken the complication and compliance out of day to day farm management. Now, our farmers are proactive and know what they need to do and when".
Bridgit Hawkins says ultimately sustainable farming, and milk production is about more than just effluent management.
"It's important the industry continues to innovate and extend its products and services to support our farmers in meeting the challenge of sustainable farming. Doing the right thing can be hard, but Te Ara Miraka makes it clear what the right thing is, and how to achieve it, benefiting farmers and the environment".
Miraka is holding Miraka Focus Days today and tomorrow in Taupo and Tokoroa for its suppliers. Regen is presenting to farmers on best practice Effluent Management Systems.

$30-Million Navy Contract On Landing Craft Awarded To Bell Aerospace Textron
A $30-million contract for long lead time materials for the next six landing craft, air cushion (LCAC) vessels has been awarded to Bell Aerospace Textron, Division of Textron, Inc., New Orleans.
This new contract, announced by John J. Kelly, senior vice president and general manager of Bell Aerospace Textron, New Orleans Operations, and president of Bell Halter Inc., increases to 12 the number of LCAC craft to be produced at the Bell Halter production facility. Bell received a $172- million contract for the first six LCACs in June 1981. Rollout of the first two LCACs is scheduled for 1984, with the third due in mid-1985.
The LCAC program is being conducted at Bell Aerospace Textron's New Orleans Operations, established in 1969 to concentrate on air cushion vehicle and surface effect ship design and construction.
The LCAC is an amphibious air cushion vehicle that can travel at speeds up to 50 knots and can quickly transport troops, equipment, and weapons from support ships located over the horizon to dry ground beyond the beach. They are expected to replace the Navy's current fleet of landing craft, which are of World War II design, dramatically improving the ship-toshore capability of the Navy and Marine Corps.

We booked our South Coast tour with EagleAir: a one-way bus trip down the coast on a bus followed by a one-way flight back to Reykjavik in the evening. EagleAir also offers Fly-And-Drive and scheduled flights around Iceland as well.
The weather was picture perfect with blue skies and sunlight. The previous two weeks had been rainy and gray, so we brought some sunny California weather with us (and packed our raincoats to ensure nice weather).
We boarded the bus around 7:30AM next to the Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik and we headed off south. Oddly, this tour stopped at a lot of gas stations and quick marts – it turned out that is was a regular bus that runs from Reykjavik to Höfn along the south coast, picking up riders and backpackers along the way. This is basically OK in theory because the bus stopped at most locations for "long enough" – though we seemed to be on a schedule – however, we did not stop at two of the sights that we had expected to see (see more later in this post – note: always ask about specific details).
We were fortunate to have a blue sky day for our South Coast tour. Iceland is lush and green this time of year with hay season well underway.
Our first stop was Gljúfurárfoss and Seljalandsfoss. These waterfalls take a small amount of the runoff from Eyjafjallajökull – the glacier-covered volcano that, you may recall, erupted in 2010 and caused flight issues in Northern Europe.
Gljúfurárfoss (literally Canyon River waterfall) isn't on the regular circuit, but our guide took us here first before seeing the more famous Seljalandsfoss. To get to the falls, our guide led us through a narrow crevice in the canyon wall with wet mist billowing out of it.
The view back down wasn't so bad either – there is a campsite just outside the falls.
About a half a mile down the ridge from Gljúfurárfoss, and past a sea of wildflowers, is Seljalandsfoss.
In fact, there are several small waterfalls (water wisps?) along the way.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the more famous waterfalls because years of water and ice have carved out an area under the waterfall, allowing visitors to walk behind it.
Skógafoss served as the backdrops for Thor and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It is a very powerful waterfall measuring 82 feet wide, and it drops about 200 feet.
All of these waterfalls generate their share of mist and water, making photo ops quick!
…before we headed back down.
We stopped for lunch at Vik, the southernmost village in Iceland, where we walked down to the beach to try to find basalt columns.
We had anticipated seeing Dyrhólaey and Reynishverfisvegur, both 5 minutes off the main highway and 10-15 minutes from the town of Vik (5 minutes as the crow flies), however, these were not on the regular bus stops (caveat emptor). Dyrhólaey is a unique rock arch formation just off the coast, similar to the arch in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Reynishverfisvegur is a large group of massive hexagonal basalt columns formed when molten rock (lava) cools slowly in a hexagonal crystal / columnar shape. Ironically, and to add insult to injury, we did see these two features on the in-flight movie Noah while flying back to the US.
The trail to the beach and massive sea cliff was flanked by lupine.
This was as close as we got to finding basalt columns on the ridge (on the other side of which was Reynishverfisvegur). The basalt columns are formed when the lava cools. It's especially common when the lava comes into contact with water or, in this case, probably ice. You can read more about columnar jointing here and here. It's also similar to how a dry lake bed mud cracks – very uniform and slow surface cooling or evaporation. Here's a great video on the topic.
The bus continued north and eastward, stopping occasionally to pick up passengers and at one point switching drivers. We liked the second driver best – mostly because he would stop if we asked, and we were the only passengers on the entire bus!
Our sunny blue sky weather began to turn a bit overcast.
We stopped briefly near Vatnajökull, or Vatna Glacier, the largest glacier in Iceland, the largest glacier in Europe by volume, and the 2nd largest in Europe by area. The two tongues of the glacier behind us used to meet around the hill 80 years ago. Just off camera is the mangled remains of the bridge.
The rocks that we're standing on are most likely part of the glacial moraine and retreat (and flood) of the glacier. Here's a link to Google Earth where you can zoom out and get a feel for these lava-covered badlands.
After being in the land of ice and lava, the scenery changed once again, and we were back in the lupine.
Jökulsárlón Lagoon is an almost-land locked lagoon where the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier now terminates. The lagoon was formed by the receding glacier. Hundreds of years ago, the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier ended at the ocean, but warming trends have pushed that back. The moraine – rock mounds – that have been piled up by the glacier have formed walls for the lagoon.
We arrived and donned our survival suits, a.k.a Gumby suits, which will allow us to float and survive longer should we capsize or fall overboard into the frigid water. The air temperature on the water was quite cold, so we were glad to have the suits. Those in our group who brought gloves and hats were even happier.
We marched down to the zodiac and motored around the icebergs.
Then we cruised over to the glacier's edge. We didn't see too much calving, as today was not what you might call warm on this part of the coast.
We didn't realize that we had spent a little too long on the boat, and now we were late for our flight back to Reykjavik! Fortunately our driver called the airline (twice!) and they held the plane for us.
Flying above Iceland, we could see snow-capped peaks from the glaciers as we cut inland.
We landed back in Reykjavik about an hour later to sunny skies. You can see the Pearl on top of the hill, the Harpa concert hall on the waterfront, and Hallgrímskirkja the viking-esque Lutheran church in the center.
We walked back to downtown for some dinner, a bit more exploring, and off to bed.
This tour was good in that some south coast tours only go as far as Vik and turn around. Others go to the Lagoon, but you have to stay in Höfn for the night (we looked into this option). We didn't have time to stay or drive all the way back, so the hour-long flight back was a really nice option.
Tomorrow we head into the mouth of a volcano and face the near-freezing waters of Silfra.

Coastal risk management experiences from Queensland, Australia
Dan Rodger, Director of Jeremy Benn Pacific (JBP), is back in the UK and visiting several of our offices, including Newcastle, Warrington, Wallingford, Tadcaster, Haywards Heath and our head office in Skipton, to give an update of what's been happening across the pond in Australia.
Having recently moved to a larger office in Brisbane, JBP (a subsidiary of JBA Consulting) works with communities to improve resilience to extreme weather and Climate Change. They have been working on tropical cyclone climatology, assessments of weather hazards, coastal engineering and flood forecasting.
Whilst in the UK, Dan has presented to Environment Agency staff in Worthing on Tuesday 2 July about the coastal risk management experiences learned from his work throughout Australia. As a coastal engineer, Dan welcomes the opportunity to share these experiences including topics of coastal hazard adaptation strategies, beach nourishment alliances and physical modelling.
JBP forms part of our international offering which addresses the needs of government and business in understanding and addressing future engineering challenges associated with climate change adaptation and disaster risk management. We also focus on capacity building to enable countries to build their skill sets.
Around five of our JBA colleagues have previously been seconded to JBP for a three to six-month period where they have worked on a range of coastal, flood and GIS projects.
Secondment opportunities benefit our staff by giving them the opportunities to travel and to explore new cultures, whilst exposing them to a more diverse range of projects and situations to develop their technical skills. On their return to the UK, secondees are then able to share the skills they have learnt with their colleagues to benefit and help improve potential solutions for projects closer to home.
Email Daniel Rodger for more information on JBP's work in Australia. You can also find out more on the JBP website.

Virtual Advising for High-Achieving High School Students
Oded Gurantz, Matea Pender, Zachary Mabel, Cassandra Larson, Eric Bettinger. 09/2019
We examine whether virtual advising – college counseling using technology to communicate remotely – increases postsecondary enrollment in selective colleges. We test this approach using a sample of approximately 16,000 high-achieving, low- and middle-income students identified by the College Board and randomly assigned to receive virtual advising from the College Advising Corps. The offer of virtual advising had no impact on overall college enrollment, but increased enrollment in high graduation rate colleges by 2.7 percentage points (5%), with instrumental variable impacts on treated students of 6.1 percentage points. We also find that non-white students who were randomly assigned to a nonwhite adviser exhibited stronger treatment effects.

College Advising at a National Scale: Experimental Evidence from the CollegePoint initiative
Zach Sullivan, Benjamin L. Castleman, Eric Bettinger. 09/2019
In recognition of the complexity of the college and financial aid application process, and in response to insufficient access to family or school-based counseling among economically-disadvantaged populations, investments at the local, state, and federal level have expanded students' access to college and financial aid advising. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies of these programs demonstrate that they can generate substantial improvements in the rate at which low-income students enroll and persist in college. While these programs are successful at the level of individual communities, the individualized, in-person college advising model faces numerous barriers to scale. In this paper, we report early results from an RCT of CollegePoint, an innovative, national college advising initiative that pursues a technology-enabled approach to provide students with sustained, intensive advising. Students assigned to CollegePoint are modestly more likely (1.5 percentage points, or 7.5 percent relative to the control) to enroll at the most selective colleges and universities (Barron's 1 institutions), though we find no difference in enrollment patterns on other measures of college quality. We find suggestive evidence of variation in the impact of CollegePoint based on when students enrolled in the program. Students who enrolled in the spring of their junior year were 5.6 percentage points (22 percent relative to the control) more likely to enroll at one of the most selective colleges and universities in the country than students in the control group who also signed up in the spring of junior year but who were not assigned to the program.

Cardi B has sued bloggers Latasha K and Starmarie Ebony Jones after they claimed Cardi is a prostitute who has herpes and did drugs.
According to TMZ, Cardi is suing both ladies for defamation, after she gave them an opportunity to retract their statements and they refused to do so.
Blogger Latasha K is the owner of a blog called unWinewithTashaK. TMZ reports that Tasha posted 23 videos over the last 14 months that really got Cardi pissed, along with Starmarie.
The suit says, last April, Tasha posted a video saying Cardi's baby Kulture might be born with intellectual disabilities. The inference seems to be Cardi was doing drugs that would harm her then-unborn child.
With regards to Starmarie Ebony Jones, Cardi is suing her because, according to the suit, she posted a video in September accusing Cardi of doing Molly and cocaine and engaging in prostitution.
Together, Latasha and Starmarie also created and posted a video making more allegations of STDs and hooking.
Reacting in the suit, Cardi B says she's never been a prostitute or a user of cocaine and molly. She also denies having herpes now or ever.
She added that she gave the women an opportunity to retract their statements, but since they've refused to do so, she has no other option but to take them to court.
She's suing them for defamation, and seeking an injunction to delete the videos the bloggers posted.
Yes, they deserved that, at least it will stop them from the act.
You people should go and settle.

DALLAS, Sept.7,2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Alternet Systems, Inc. (ALYI) today announced an order for 100 of its ReVolt Electric Motorcycles. The price per unit is $10,000 making the order total $1 million. The ReVolt Electric Motorcycle is a stylish retro design with a rugged structure coming with two saddle seats and a side car. This order is intended to support a new inner-city shared ride initiative in Africa. Electric rickshaws similar to the motorized rickshaws common in the streets in India are already finding their way to Africa in Uber like services. Uber itself recently announced a shift away from cars to electric bikes and scooters for short inner-city trips. Inner-city electric scooter service providers such as Lime and Bird have already reached billion-dollar valuations. The North American market alone for electric scooters is expected to reach $795 billion by 2025. Alternet's ReVolt Electric Motorcycle is currently in pilot production. The order is contingent on a successful test of the pilot electric motorbike expected to take place before the end of this year. If the test is successful, the first 30 electric motorcycles will then go into production. The total order calls for a phased delivery over a 2-year period.
ReVolt is founded on Alternet Systems overarching strategy to commercialize advanced energy storage technologies by integrating the technologies into specific products and services. The company plans to imminently launch a new website with more details on the its latest advanced energy storage developments, progress with ReVolt Electric Motorbikes and other projects underway to commercialize advanced energy storage technologies.


A natural number is said to be simple-feasible if it occurs as the order of a simple group. One of the important initial questions in the classification of simple groups is: what are the simple-feasible numbers?
To answer this question, we need a mix of techniques from Sylow theory, representation theory, group actions, and of course basic arguments with subgroups.

One of the easiest ways to have an accident is to fall from a ladder. Often, this happens because the base is insecure.
Another serious danger is ascending past the point where at least one hand can grip the side rails. It's always tempting to balance on the top rung and stretch to paint that last, high section of wall.
Today's invention is a simple alternative design which overcomes this danger. The ladder has a section of rungs deliberately missing at the top end. You can stand on rung B and grip the rails at A but no greater height is possible.
If you need a taller ladder, then a sliding extension can be added in the usual way -to the bottom end.
Another advantage is that, at the end of the day, this design can be inverted and locked to eg a downpipe, making it impossible for burglars or children to ascend.
From a marketing point of view, this would be better portrayed as providing extra length rather than less. The de-runged bit could be painted a different colour.

Hey do you support MOSS yet?
We are looking to create reports for VAT RTD which is similar but I'll ask are they the same thing.
We will have to register Soma For the Moss system. And you will have to Keep a record of all the sales in different EU countries with their proper vat rate.
Excel is never a good idea for your accounts.
Ok thanks. Does the system already know the VAT rates per EU country?
No. I don't think any product does that.
We just do VAT returns for Ireland.
Hi. So the tech team has come back. MOSS is different to Vat RTD. We don't support it and probably won't in the future.
So how do companies selling around EU charge VAT on your platform? Are their no product based companies in Ireland using BulletHQ?
Strange as I believe this is now the law for selling products around EU from Ireland. I'm surprised this isn't a common feature request.
First I've heard of it. Vat RTD had been around for years but never enforced now it seems to be back on the agenda.
Maybe MOSS is the same.

Helen Lempriere National Sculpture Award Exhibition: Werribee Park
'Know My Name' at the National Gallery Australa 2020 - 2021
'Know My Name' exhibition NGA, presenting Australian women artists 1900 - 2020
'Know My name' 2020 - 2021
'Know My Name' is an expansive presentation of Australian women artists from 1900 to the present at the National Gallery of Australia. With distinctive female energies, it is unlike any exhibition on this scale seen before. Revelations and connections across time, place and artists create the idea of the 'EVERYWHEN' at its core.
The exhibition is part of a year-long program undertaken by the NGA that includes billboards showing women's art across Australia, the launch of Patricia Piccinini's hot air balloon 'Skywhalepapa', commissioned dance performances, a publication by women writers on art, purchases and commissions of new works by women.
A 4-day conference with international speakers was a lively forum discussing the Now, alternate histories, communities, collectives and lineages, decolonizing feminism and future practices.
An international webinar with Dr. Ann Temkin, Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; Dr. Deborah Hart, Head Curator of Australian Art at the National Gallery of Australia and Dr. Anne Summers AO, best-selling author, journalist and feminist talk to Time Magazine's award-winning editor-at-large Belinda Luscombe discussed this watershed moment for women artists.
I am proud to have been a part of the billboards with 'Genus 0 No. 1', the publication with a piece on Dora Chapman, the merchandising and the exhibition with 'Sukhavati No. 5'.

Q: Protecting hard-coded data that cannot be available to the user, such as a pass phrase My program needs to decrypt an encrypted file after it starts up to load data it requires to function. This data cannot be available to the user.
I'm not a cryptography expert, so what is the best way to protect hardcoded passphrases and other tidbits of data from users, debugging software and disassembling software?
I understand that this is probably bad practice but it's essential for me (at least for now).
If there are other ways to protect my data from the above 3, could you let me know what those are?

A: Short answer: you can't.  Once the software is on the user's disk, a sufficiently smart and determined user will be able to extract the secret data from it.
For a longer answer, see "Storing secrets in software" on the security.SE blog.

A:
what is the best way to protect hardcoded passphrases and other
  tidbits of data from users, debugging software and disassembling
  software?

Request the password from the user and don't hardcode the passphrase. This is the ONLY way to be safe.
If you can't do that and must be hardcoded in the app then all bets are off.
The simplest thing you can do (if you don't have the luxury to do something elaborate which will only delay the inevidable) is to delegate the responsibility to the user of the system.
I mean explicitely state that you software is as secure as the "machine" it runs.
If the attacker has access to start pocking around the file system then your app would be the user's least of concerns

A: In my experience this type of questions are often motivated by either of four reasons:

*

*Your application is connecting to a restricted remote service, such as a database server.

*You do not want your users to mess with configuration settings, which in turn do not really have to be kept confidential as long as they are unmodified.

*Copy protection of your own software.

*Copy protection of data.

Like Illmari Karonen wrote in his answer, you can't do exactly what you are asking for, and this means in particular that 3 & 4 cannot be solved by cryptography alone.
However, if your reason for asking is either 1 or 2, you have ended up asking the questions you do, because you have made some bad decisions earlier in your design process. For instance, in case of 1, you should not make a restricted service accessible from systems you do not trust completely. The typical safe solution is to introduce a middle tier that is the only client to your restricted resource, and which you can make public.
In case of 2, the best solution is often to use exactly the same logic for checking your configuration files (or registry settings or what ever) when they are loaded at start up, as you use for checking consistency when the user enters them using your preferred configuration user interface. If you spot an inconsistency, just bring up your configuration UI and highlight the problem.


Fr. Kent O'Connor | Tobit Productions | Blog : Recording here I come!
It is now Friday, February 22nd, and I am preparing for my trip out to Ft. Wayne Indiana for my first recording project in over 5 years. A lot has changed for me over the past 5 years. I started my "Saints" project when I was still an associate priest and finished in during the first few months of my first pastorate. Since then I have taken piano lessons, picked up the ukelele and harmonica and joined a new band, "The Mama and the Padres." I was also moved into a city parish and finding myself doing a lot of ministry in Spanish (quite different from my two years out in rural Kansas!).
I also joined the Catholic Association of Musicians (founded by John Michael Talbot) and attended a conference with some fine Catholic musicians from all over the country. One of the main features of the conference was an all-day workshop on songwriting. I think my songwriting has improved from attending this conference.
This conference also encouraged me to start playing my music live. I started by singing and playing back-up with Dan Dúet, Steve Courtney, and Terry Little, but now I have started performing live concert versions of my "Saints" project. I believe that I have performed "An Evening with the Saints" 6 times. My plan is to develop another live show based on my "Jesus" album and then I've also got plans for a "Bible" show as well.
So a whole lot has changed in my life since my last recording project.
I have also learned how to manage my way around in GarageBand pretty well, which has resulted in much better demos from which the producer can work, and it has also facilitated me improving in my own playing skills. Unlike my last two projects, where I just played acoustic guitar on one track, I plan to play acoustic guitar, piano, ukelele, harmonica, and maybe mandolin on my next two projects.
I am not a "studio musician", that's true, however, I always like it when "solo" artists do more than simply sing on their albums. I personally like looking at liner notes to see what people are playing, and if the main artist is just singing, I usually am a bit disappointed. I figure that this person had better have an extremely awesome voice if that's all that he/she does on the album. Since I do not have an "extremely awesome voice", I want to contribute other things to these projects, so I have been practicing a good deal to get my playing chops "up to snuff."
In any case, I am excited to be back in the recording studio, and I believe that I have a strong line-up of songs to record next week. I think that I have refined my craft over the years, and I am looking forward to hearing the finished project and sharing it with you. I plan to update more next week.

United States: SEC Updates Form 20-F And Form 40-F MD&A And Other Financial Disclosure Requirements
by Mark S. Bergman , Christopher Cummings , David S. Huntington , John C. Kennedy , Raphael M. Russo , Tracey A. Zaccone and Tong Yu
Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison
The SEC has adopted amendments to the financial disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K, including the requirements (set out in Item 303) governing the presentation of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) (available here). These amendments are a part of the SEC's modernization initiatives, and are intended to better focus disclosure on material information while reducing compliance efforts for SEC reporting companies. For a summary of the changes to Regulation S-K, please see our separate Client Alert, "SEC Updates MD&A and Other Financial Disclosure Requirements." The amendments make several conforming changes to Form 20-F and Form 40-F to ensure that the existing MD&A requirements for foreign private issuers (FPIs) mirror the substantive MD&A requirements set forth in revised Item 303 and the elimination of Item 301 of Regulation S-K.
Form 20-F
Consistent with the elimination of Item 301 of Regulation S-K, the amendments eliminate current Item 3.A of Form 20-F, which requires FPIs to disclose selected financial data for the most recent five fiscal years. The trend disclosure required by this Item will instead be provided in response to Item 5 of Form 20-F.
In order to align current Item 5 of Form 20-F, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects, with revised Item 303 of Regulation S-K, the final rules amend Item 5 to:
clarify that the "reasonably likely" threshold should be applied consistently to the disclosure requirements in Item 5;
eliminate the requirement to provide tabular disclosure of contractual obligations in Item 5.F;
add to Item 5.B a new principles-based requirement regarding liquidity and capital resources disclosures that requires disclosure of liquidity and capital resources on a short-term and long-term basis, including an analysis of material cash requirements;
modify Item 5.E to explicitly require disclosure of critical accounting estimates to the extent reasonably available and material;
revise the forepart of Item 5 to clarify the purpose of MD&A and highlight its objectives by specifying that Item 5 disclosure should:
include statistical data that will improve a reader's understanding of the registrant's financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations;
focus on material events and uncertainties known to management that would result in reported financial information not being indicative of future operating results or future financial condition;
include quantitative and qualitative description of the reasons underlying material changes, including where material changes within a line item offset each other;
provide a narrative explanation of the registrant's financial statements that enables investors to see the registrant "through the eyes of management;" and
provide information relating to the registrant's other subdivisions, such as geographic areas or product lines;
delete Item 5.E, which requires disclosure of off-balance sheet arrangements, and replace it with a principles-based instruction;
eliminate from Item 5.A.2 the requirement to discuss the impact of inflation, and require only the disclosure of the impact of hyperinflation if hyperinflation has occurred in any of the periods for which audited financial statements or unaudited financial statements are filed; and
amend Item 5.D, which currently requires FPIs to identify "the most significant recent trends," to instead require disclosure of "material trends," consistent with the MD&A's focus on materiality.
The amendments revise Form 40-F to align it with revised Item 303 of Regulation S-K, including:
a replacement of the contractual obligations disclosure requirement with a principles-based instruction that requires, to the extent it is not already provided in the MD&A required under Canadian law, analysis of material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations; and
a replacement of the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosure requirement with a principles-based instruction that requires, to the extent it is not already provided in the MD&A required under Canadian law, a discussion of off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the registrant's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.
Effectiveness and Transition
The amendments will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Registrants will be required to apply the amended rules for the first fiscal year ending on or after the date that is 210 days after publication in the Federal Register (the "compliance date"), and will be required to apply the amended rules in registration statements and prospectuses that at the time of the initial filing are required to contain financial statements for a period on or after the compliance date.
Registrants may comply with the amended requirements at any time after the effective date, so long as they comply with any amended item in its entirety.

To everyone who knows them, best friends Miel and Sam are as strange as they are inseparable. Roses grow out of Miel's wrist, and rumors say that she spilled out of a water tower when she was five. Sam is known for the moons he paints and hangs in the trees and for how little anyone knows about his life before he and his mother moved to town. But as odd as everyone considers Miel and Sam, even they stay away from the Bonner girls, four beautiful sisters rumored to be witches. Now they want the roses that grow from Miel's skin, convinced that their scent can make anyone fall in love. And they're willing to use every secret Miel has fought to protect to make sure she gives them up.

Katharina Pistor — The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality
12 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
McKinney Conference Room, 111 Thayer Street
Columbia Law School Professor Katharina Pistor will join us to discuss her new book "The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality". Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else.
In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively "codes" certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital—and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients' needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations—assets that exist only in law.
A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it.
Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance
Katharina Pistor is the Edwin B. Parker Professor of Comparative Law at Columbia Law School and Director of the Law School's Center on Global Legal Transformation.
Her research and teaching spans corporate law, corporate governance, money and finance, property rights, and comparative law and legal institutions. She has published widely in legal and social science journals. Her most recent book is "The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality" (Princeton University Press, 2019).
In 2012 she was co-recipient (with Martin Hellwig) of the Max Planck Research Award on International Financial Regulation; in 2014 she received the Allen & Overy Prize for the best working paper on law of the European Corporation Governance Institute; and in 2015 she was elected member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. She is also the recipient of research grants by the Institute for New Economic Thinking and the National Science Foundation.
Pistor received her law degree from Freiburg University in 1988 and qualified for legal practice in 1992 after clerking for the Hamburg Court of Appeals. She obtained a Masters in Law from the University of London in 1989; a Masters in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government in 1994; and a Doctorate in Law from the University of Munich in 1998. Prior to joining Columbia Law School, Pistor has held academic positions at the Kennedy School of Government (Harvard University), and the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Law in Hamburg. She has held visiting positions at several universities, including University of Pennsylvania Law School, New York University Law School, Frankfurt University, London School of Economics, Oxford University, and Harvard Law School.


David Bond is a vlogger known for his controversial videos showing him traveling all over Asia picking up women. The opinions expressed in this piece are solely his own. I actually have the entire conversation on video. The internet said it and now this guy is saying it. I was excited to go out and meet some girls after hearing this. I had just lost weight, ended a 6-year relationship with my white girlfriend, quit my job, and recently taken a strong interest in improving my life and luck with girls — to give some context. It was myself and three other white dudes in Japan, and for the next few months me and my buddies went out about nights a week. Two of my friends were tall, good looking and fit guys — like with abs and everything.

We have been at Dulles now for about 90 minutes. The buses went to the wrong airport and we had a "Hurry up and Wait" moment. No matter. Vets are all in great spirits. People are in good moods.
I got to meet a little girl named Avery. She's 5 and likes to come out with grandpa, Bruce Hill who served with the SF in Vietnam. Why, she likes to say hi to the "old soldiers." And from the looks of it, so did the old soldiers.
If that is not totally cool then I don't know what is. We also met Scouts, average people and local volunteers who spent all morning here in at Dulles or who stood in the rain waiting. Again, it's very moving to see. The numbers weren't huge, but the smiles and the well wishes were. Totally selfless.
Headed now to the World War II memorial which was built about 10 years ago to honor the 16 million who served and the 400,000 or so who died. Of the 16 million, only about a million are left now so to be here, surrounded by all these guys, is damn cool. Humbling isn't the word for it.
Follow along on Twitter and on pjstar.com for more frequent updates.
Thanks for reporting on this trip. It is important to these service members and their families for them to know that we appreciate their service and their sacrifice.

Not since 1988 has UEFA's junior national team tournament been won by the hosts. In the 2003, however, Portugal made full use of home advantage.
Not since 1988 has UEFA's junior national team tournament been won by the hosts. In the 2002/03 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, however, Portugal made full use of home advantage.
The 2002 finals had opened with a 4-4 thriller, and the first match this time was also high scoring between Denmark and the hosts. In the last eight minutes of the first half, Portugal trailed 1-0, led 2-1 and were pegged back to 2-2, before 53rd-minute substitute Manuel Corto scored the winner for the home nation with his first touch. In the other Group A game, Austria beat Hungary 1-0, while in Group B England defeated Israel 2-1 and Spain overcame Italy 2-0. Portugal were through as group winners after Matchday 2 as they defeated Austria 1-0 and Denmark claimed a 2-0 win against Hungary, whose hopes ended. In Group B Spain saw off Israel 3-0 to reach the semi-finals and England's game with Italy ended goalless.
A 2-0 win against Hungary kept up Portugal's perfect record two days later, and Austria followed them into the semi-finals with a 2-0 win against Denmark thanks to goals from Patrick Mayer and Daniel Horvath. England needed only a point against Spain to advance from Group B, and after trailing 2-0 at the break John Peacock's side fought back to draw, meaning Italy's 4-0 win against Israel was in vain.
Spain, who had won a record six U16 titles, made up for their defeat in the 2002 semi-finals by defeating Austria 5-2. David scored four times in the match on his way to a tournament-leading six goals. The other encounter between Portugal and England proved much closer. Dean Bowditch put England ahead on eight minutes but Adelino Freitas swiftly levelled. James Milner made it 2-1 in the 21st minute only for Portugal substitute Saleiro to head an added-time equaliser. Penalties ensued, and Grant Leadbitter's miss put the hosts through to set up an all-Iberian final.
There was more heartbreak for England in the third-place play-off when Daniel Pirker's 53rd-minute goal gave Austria a 1-0 win. Then in front of 9,000 fans in Viseu, Márcio Sousa gave Portugal the half-time lead in the final, and although David equalised two minutes after the break, Sousa struck again five minutes later to seal victory for Portugal.
