Sri Lanka's Fitch Credit Rating has been downgraded 7 times during the last 7-years (May 2015 – May 2022)
Sri Lanka's credit rating has been downgraded 7 times over the course of 7 years. 5 of those downgrades occurred since April 2020. In contrast, its regional peers have maintained their credit ratings. The recent downgrade to RD (Restricted Default) on the 19th of May 2022 was immediately after the lapse of a one month grace period for an ISB coupon payment that was not paid on the 18th of April.

SPEEDING WRONG-WAY DRIVER SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON FOR KILLING PASSENGER AND ANOTHER MOTORIST AFTER LOSING CONTROL OF HIS CAR AND CAUSING HEAD-ON CRASH
Case # 09WF0612
February 11, 2010 Susan Kang Schroeder
Public Affairs Counsel
SPEEDING WRONG-WAY DRIVER SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON FOR KILLING PASSENGER AND ANOTHER MOTORIST AFTER LOSING CONTROL
OF HIS CAR AND CAUSING HEAD-ON CRASH
SANTA ANA – A speeding driver was sentenced today to five years in state prison for killing his passenger and another motorist after losing control of his car and crashing head-on into another car at over 85 mph. Deneshio Samuel Lankford, 23, Long Beach, pleaded guilty to a court offer to one felony count of vehicular manslaughter by unlawful act with gross negligence with a sentencing enhancement for causing great bodily injury. The People objected to the five year prison sentence, advocating for the maximum sentence allowable by law, nine years in state prison.
At approximately 6:35 p.m. on May 20, 2007, Lankford was speeding over 85 mph in a 45 mph zone eastbound on Pacific Coast Highway in Seal Beach. Lankford's 17-year-old friend, Grisna Meas, was is the front passenger seat. The defendant lost control of his Honda sedan due to his unsafe speed and swerved onto the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic in the westbound lanes.
Lankford crashed head-on into a BMW driven by 52-year-old Rick Vetter, shearing the defendant's car in two pieces, splitting the front and back of the vehicle. The front portion of the defendant's car, with Lankford and Meas still inside, continued to slide and crashed into a Ford sport utility vehicle. Two additional cars were involved in the crash after being struck by flying debris and the drivers of those cars suffered soreness and scratches.
Lankford killed Vetter, who was crushed inside his car and died at the scene due to multiple traumatic injuries. The defendant also caused the death of Meas, who still had his seatbelt on and was partially hanging out of the torn car after the crash. Meas died at the scene due to multiple traumatic injuries. Lankford was transported to the hospital to be treated for two broken legs.

Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real: How It All Started?
Ever since Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real began playing together more than a decade ago, the buzz that surrounds the band has been quietly intensifying. The diverse American rock band has since built a devoted following who has stuck by with them through six studio albums, hundreds of shows, and major festivals worldwide.
Let's take a look back at how it all started!
A post shared by Promise of the Real Official (@promiseoftherealofficial)
In 2007, Willie Nelson's son, Lukas Autry Nelson relocated from Paia, Hawaii, to attend Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where he met Anthony LoGerfo. The two quickly became good friends, bonding over their common love for rock music.
Soon enough, Lukas dropped out of college and started to play music with Anthony regularly. In late 2008, the two musicians enlisted bassist Merlyn Kelly and percussionist Tato Melgar to create Promise of the Real.
POTR, as the group is referred to, started to tour heavily – including opening gigs for Willie Nelson and B.B. King. They put up a live EP called Live Beginnings to fund their tours.
Bringing a mix of blues, reggae, roots, and absolute American rock, POTR has finally issued their first studio EP, Brando's Paradise Sessions. What makes it even more special is that it comes with a cover art – a peace sign logo – created by Lukas' younger brother Micah Nelson. Since then, the logo has been strongly connected to all of the band's imagery – not only that, but Micah also started joining the band on stage.
A year later, the band has released its first album, Promise of the Real – which is composed of 12 tracks, along with tribute songs to two singers that influence them the most: Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young. There's also a cover version of a song Willie Nelson has written before, "Peaceful Solution."
Their self-titled debut album opened so many doors for the band, finding themselves playing in more than 200 shows all over the United States in 2011. They also appeared in major festivals such as Farm Aid and even made it to national TV, such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with David Letterman, to name a few.
However, even before their first album was released, bassist Merlyn left POTR. The band had a couple of temporary bassists until they met Corey McCormick.
They Got Even More Opportunities
The band never stopped soaring, releasing few more albums. They got the biggest opportunity of their lives when they were enlisted to play with Neil Young on his 2015 record The Monsanto Years. The album peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and reached the No. 1 spot of Billboard's Top Rock Albums. Since then, POTR has been Neil Young's regular backing band.
Recently, it was announced that Young's European summer tour with POTR in 2019 – a nine-date tour that kicked off in Odense, Denmark – will be recounted with a double album and concert film titled Noise and Flowers. It is scheduled for an early release this year.
Moreover, Lukas Nelson was also recruited for the now-hit movie A Star is Born as a music consultant, helping train actor Bradley Cooper for musical authenticity. Lukas also wrote several songs on the soundtrack album.
When the film was released, it was greeted with widespread acclaim, which introduced a whole new fanbase for Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real. At once, Lukas said they saw a positive turnaround in show attendance and a wider variety of concertgoers.
Without a doubt, Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real learned early on that true originality is gained by great effort, never given.

COOPERSVILLE — As music played from the radio, Natalie Perrin settled into position, carefully setting her sites on the target, and then pulled the trigger of her air rifle.
For the past year, the Coopersville High School sophomore has been a competitive precision shooter. The 16-year-old is now practicing to compete next week in women's air rifle and small bore at the National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
When Natalie first started the sport, she thought if she worked hard enough maybe she could reach that level in three years, but not one year.
Being the state champion, Natalie knew she would compete in Colorado for the air rifle division, but she was skeptical about her chances of receiving a second-round invitation for the small bore, given her scores.
"It was a very exciting moment," she said about receiving the invitation.
Nick VanRyswyk, also from Coopersville, and Aliah Lloyd, from Grand Valley State University, will also compete at the National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships.
Natalie's experience in the sport goes back to watching BB gun competitions at the Muskegon County Fair in 2016. That piqued her interest in shooting. Prior to that, she didn't know anything about guns or the sport, which she said often confuses people.
Her mom, Jocelyn Perrin, said she wasn't sure how much her daughter would enjoy shooting or if she would continue after she first started in it.
"Come to find out, she's got a natural talent for it," Jocelyn said.
Since learning to shoot a BB gun, Natalie became the 4-H champion and moved on to shooting a sporter air rifle. She is member of the Grand Rapids Rifle & Pistol Club and Michigan State University's Demmer Center's Junior Shooters.
Cameron Zwart, head coach for Grand Valley State University's rifle club, met Natalie while helping with the Grand Rapids club, and he invited her to practice precision shooting with his team. Zwart said Natalie had a "strong desire to shoot well," and learned quickly.
Zwart said it's "exceptionally rare" for someone shooting in their first year to reach the national level, and it's a testimony to how hard she works and the time she's put into it. Zwart said it's the same for Lloyd, who is also new to the sport.
Individuals who are invited to attend the National Junior Olympics are "shooting at high distinction," Zwart said.
Zwart noted that Natalie keeps meticulous notes about what works and doesn't work for her. While some people usually hit a peak, Zwart said Natalie continues to improve.
"The sky's going to be the limit for this kid," he said.
In addition to practicing with the GVSU team, Natalie practices shooting with family friend David Smith, who has known the Perrins for more than 20 years. Natalie's dad, Jeff, cleared part of his paint booth in the family's barn into an indoor practice space.
Smith said Natalie works to outshoot the last time she shot.
Natalie has participated in competition throughout Michigan, as well as Alabama, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky.
During matches, Natalie said she's usually excited, focused and has a song playing in her head. She said that although everyone is competing, everyone in the sport is willing to help each other.
In addition to shooting, Natalie is an NRA youth shooting sports ambassador and is involved in FFA.
Looking at her future, Natalie plans to continue the sport at the collegiate level. After college, she hopes to become a member of Team USA and compete in the Olympics.
"I just want to continue in this sport and continue to grow," she said.

Motherlode still eludes Chile's 'Los 33'
Many believe the 33 Chilean miners who were rescued a year ago cashed in on the ordeal. The truth is nearly half have been unemployed and only one has managed to live well off the fame.
By EVA VERGARA Associated Press
Thu., Aug. 4, 2011timer3 min. read
SANTIAGO, CHILE—One of the myths surrounding the 33 miners who were rescued after being trapped for 69 days deep inside a Chilean copper mine is that they're all millionaires and no longer need to work.
The truth: nearly half the men have been unemployed since their mine collapsed one year ago Friday, and just one, the flamboyant Mario Sepulveda, has managed to live well off the fame. Most have signed up to give motivational speeches. Four, so far, have gone back underground to pound rock for a living.
"Los 33" have filed negligence lawsuits demanding $10 million from the bankrupt mine's owners and $17 million from the government for failing to enforce safety regulations, but years remain before any payout.
Despite rumours that miners got rich off media interviews, most got only paid trips, hotel stays and the kinds of gifts that don't put food on tables.
Neither did they profit from the books written about them so far. Only recently did they finally reach a deal with a Hollywood agent for an authorized book and movie, but they have yet to see any money from that, either.
A year after they were buried alive by a mine collapse almost a kilometre below the surface, the remarkable unity that many credited with helping them survive has fallen victim to misunderstandings over fame and money. Only some plan to join President Sebastian Pinera in Copiapo and at the San Jose Mine on Friday for an anniversary mass and museum inauguration. Sepulveda is among those who want no part of the ceremonies.
All have been hoping that Pinera announce life-long pensions of about $430 a month for the 33. The government seems willing to pay, but the exact amount has been under negotiation for some time now, several miners said.
Many have gotten by until now on the philanthropy of an eccentric millionaire and Chilean mine owner, Leonardo Farkas, who wrote them cheques for about $11,000, threw them a lavish party and gave each a motorcycle.
Shift foreman Luis Urzua, who kept the men unified when nearly all hope was lost, said he's saddened by critics of the miners' lawsuits, who say they should simply be grateful they were rescued.
"We're very content, very grateful to the government and the president for what they did. We filed this lawsuit so that people understand that everyone has the right to sue when things aren't being done correctly," Urzua said.
While in Copiapo on Friday, Pinera will also likely face the 240 other San Jose Mine workers who escaped the collapse only to lose their jobs when the mine closed. Many are still unemployed and have only received 40 per cent of their severances.
The government has resisted calls to make payments on behalf of the bankrupt mining company, fearful of a precedent that could sap profits from the entire industry. But the state-owned National Mining Company did lend $1.2 million this week to pay the mine owners' debts to the workers.
Only 19 of the 33 rescued men would see some of this money — the others won't get anything because they worked for outside contractors, or have had most of their salaries paid by the state while on medical leave.
Urzua is among the unemployed. Rather than return to mining, he's among the 25 miners who have signed up to give motivational speeches, and credited a university professor, Ricardo Munoz, for helping them polish their deliveries. "He's one of the few who is working with us without trying to profit from it," Urzua said. "There are a lot of people who have made off handsomely."
But most of the 33 have run out of money and are back to scratching out livings in the dusty, barren, working-class neighbourhoods and shantytowns that ring the desert city of Copiapo.

Q: Using Crypto++ generated RSA keys on OpenSSL Is there a way to use the RSA keys I've generated with the Crypto++ API in OpenSSL? What I am looking for is a way to store the keys in a format that both Crypto++ and OpenSSL can easily open them.
I'm writing a licensing scheme and would want to verify signatures and decrypt files using the Crypto++ API, but to generate the license files I would want to use a web interface (probably using PHP, which only supports OpenSSL) to generate and encrypt/sign the licenses.
I would write both applications using Crypto++ and call it from the PHP, but since the private key will be stored in a encrypted form, a password must be passed to the application and passing it on the command line doesn't seems to be a good idea to me.

A: Both Crypto++ and OpenSSL can handle PKCS#8 encoded keys. In crypto++, you can generate keys  and convert to PKCS#8 buffer like this,
AutoSeededRandomPool rng;
RSAES_OAEP_SHA_Decryptor priv(rng, 2048);
string der;
StringSink der_sink(der);
priv.DEREncode(der_sink);
der_sink.MessageEnd();

// der.data() is the bytes you need

Now you just need to pass the bytes to PHP. You can save it in a file, send in a message.
The only gotcha is that PHP's OpenSSL interface only accepts PEM encoded PKCS#8. You can easily convert DER-encoded buffer into PEM like this in PHP,
<?php
function pkcs8_to_pem($der) {

    static $BEGIN_MARKER = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----";
    static $END_MARKER = "-----END PRIVATE KEY-----";

    $value = base64_encode($der);

    $pem = $BEGIN_MARKER . "\n";
    $pem .= chunk_split($value, 64, "\n");
    $pem .= $END_MARKER . "\n";

    return $pem;
}
?>

You can also convert PKCS#8 to PEM in C++ if you prefer. The algorithm is very simple as you can see from the PHP code.
OpenSSL is so prevalent nowadays. I don't see any reason to use Crypto++ for common crypto applications like this.

A:
Is there a way to use the RSA keys I've generated with the Crypto++ API in OpenSSL? What I am looking for is a way to store the keys in a format that both Crypto++ and OpenSSL can easily open them.

Yes. In addition to X.509 and PKCS #8 encoded keys (ZZ Coder's answer), you can also use PEM encoded keys including encrypted keys. Support for PEM encoded keys was donated to the project in July, 2014 for OpenSSL interop.
To use the PEM encoded keys, you need to fetch the Crypto++ PEM Pack and recompile the library. The PEM Pack is not part of the Crypto++ library as provided by Wei Dai at the Crypto++ website.
Once you install and recompile, its as simple as:
// Load a RSA public key
FileSource fs1("rsa-pub.pem", true);
RSA::PublicKey k1;
PEM_Load(fs1, k1);

// Load a encrypted RSA private key
FileSource fs2("rsa-enc-priv.pem", true);
RSA::PrivateKey k2;
PEM_Load(fs2, k2, "test", 4);

// Save an EC public key
DL_PublicKey_EC<ECP> k16 = ...;
FileSink fs16("ec-pub-xxx.pem", true);
PEM_Save(fs16, k16);

// Save an encrypted EC private key
DL_PrivateKey_EC<ECP> k18 = ...;
FileSink fs18("ec-enc-priv-xxx.pem", true);
PEM_Save(fs18, k18, "AES-128-CBC", "test", 4);

The keys look like so on-disk:

It looks like you'll need to use PKCS#8 and convert from DER to PEM format to be able to use the keys in OpenSSL.  I'm not sure if you'll be able to use a single file for both.
I've only used OpenSSL so I'm not sure what options you have with Crypto++.  I found the link above by searching Google for these terms: Crypto++ RSA OpenSSL.
DER is OpenSSL's binary format for keys and certificates.
PEM is OpenSSL's text format.

India will be next engine of global growth: Prabhu
PTI Last Updated: May 2, 2018 | 05:27 IST
By Fakir Hassen
Johannesburg, May 2 (PTI) India, driven by a new industrial policy to be rolled out soon, will be the next engine of growth for the world, Union Minister Suresh Prabu told the Indian disapora in South Africa.
Commerce and Industry Minister Prabhu was leading a high level business delegation to Johannesburg to participate in the two-day India-South Africa Business Summit 2018 which began on April 29.
Sharing some details of the new industrial development policy that will be released soon, Prabhu said there would be a shift from the first policy of 1956 which promoted industrialisation and that of 1992 which was driven by compulsion as India faced a severe economic crisis.
According to the minister, the new policy would consist of three main elements ?- modernising existing industries, bringing new industries into place, and increasing startups.
Prabhu acknowledged Chinas economic growth on the global stage as being "unparallelled" and attributed its rise to investment by the Chinese government.
"But Indias success and growth story is driven by Indians. The private sector in India has contributed significantly to this," he said.
The union minister sought to project that 2019 would be better for India than this year.
"I can say with confidence that 2018 will be better than 2017 and 2019 will be better than 2018, and I am not saying that as an astrologer ? it is purely based on real, legitimate growth numbers of India," Prabhu said.
He said the country would be closer to "our desired aim of being a double-digit economy" by 2020, and exuded confidence that India will become the worlds third largest economy by 2032, next only to the US and China.
"By 2025 India will be a five trillion-dollar economy and 10 trillion with another seven years journey and India will then be worlds third largest economy in the world," Prabhu said.
Citing reasons for the upward growth trajectory of India, Prabhu said in any country, the political system is very important for such accomplishments.
"Thanks to the people of India, who gave a mandate four years ago to Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi that changed the entire dynamics, because now we are not just focusing on numbers of growth, but quality of long-term sustainable growth," he said.
Modis Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had won an absolute majority in the 2014 general elections with 282 seats in the 545-member Lok Sabha -- a first by a political party after 30 years.
"We are focusing on futuristic industries which will drive the growth of the world, not the industries of today, which will be facing the challenge of obsolescence all over the world," Prabhu said.
He said the government has identified 12 sectors and already set aside almost a billion dollars approved by the cabinet for them.
"These 12 sectors will create jobs and drive the economy, but also promote exports, because services exports will be higher than material exports of production," Prabhu said.
Easing up Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) processes, bringing in more Indian cultural groups via the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, violence in Kashmir were among the key issues that the Indian community raised with Prabhu. PTI FH CK CK

Why Is Soccer Played Eleven Against Eleven? reveals one hundred facts of soccer history and rules that are either unknown or little known, such as why soccer is played eleven against eleven, why soccer matches last 90 minutes, who the first coach was, how the referee appeared, and who invented goal nets, red and yellow cards, the penalty, and the penalty shoot-out. Included in this book are funny and weird anecdotes, such as the case of a player who scored a goal...without ever having stepped on the pitch…making this book the complete resource on the beautiful game of soccer. Millions of soccer fans will find all the answers to any question they could possibly have—including those they may not have thought of—in this amusing, yet informative, book by journalist Luciano Wernicke.


July 17, 2013 — Researchers have developed a drug delivery technique for diabetes treatment in which a sponge-like material surrounds an insulin core. The sponge expands and contracts in response to blood sugar levels to release insulin as needed. The technique could also be used for targeted drug delivery to cancer cells.
When a diabetic patient's blood sugar rises, the glucose triggers a reaction that causes the nanocapsules' enzymes to release hydrogen ions. Those ions bind to the molecular strands of the chitosan sponge, giving them a positive charge. The positively charged chitosan strands then push away from each other, creating larger gaps in the sponge's pores that allow the insulin to escape into the bloodstream. In type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes, the body needs injections of insulin, a hormone that transports glucose -- or blood sugar -- from the bloodstream into the body's cells.

Bridgeburner at 500... sign of OCD?
My average posts per day is now creeping up in the 4s.
I check for unread posts each time my coffee runs out (too often).
Now, I have no idea what a Bridgeburner is, but you all have made my TBR pile so huge that I may depart this world without ever having cracked open Malazan.
I've made cool friends, including one great one now mainly conducted in out-of-forum emails.
Become a secret worshiper of the @Raptori who have come to our planet to study us.
Read awesome and funny story submissions.
Have received challenging and encouraging critiques on my work; which has now lead to two re-starts, d*mn you all to the eternal flames.
And have been having a generally awesomely fun and interesting time interacting with everyone here.
Cheers to all for making F-F the place it is.
Naaah, responsible behaviour isn't all that necessary.
Do we have to celebrate by eating spam again?
To paraphrase The Big Bang Theory: posting is a kind of writing.
Wasn't it spam AND pineapple?
I ended up thinking it was a mixture of both. I actually had to Google what spam was (the food, not the internet use for the word), since I had never heard about it in my life - maybe the fact that the Portuguese Wikipedia page has three lines (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28alimento%29) about it explains my ignorance. It is definitely not a thing, here.

By Andy Burns Posted on June 22, 2010 August 10, 2011
DVD Tuesday with Scotty G
Green Zone – Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass re-team for this film which is about a U.S. Army officer who questions the military intelligence that suggests there are weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. Damon's character realizes that the hunt for the weapons is merely a ploy so that the U.S. government can get the people they want in power in the Middle East. It's a tense thriller, and from all accounts a decent one, but never found an audience when it was released this spring.
She's Out Of My League – Jay Baruchel stars in this comedy about an airport security officer who dreams of being a pilot. One day a beautiful woman walks through the airport and accidentally leaves her cell phone behind. She phones her phone and Jay Baruchel answers. They set up a meeting place so he can return the phone to her, and they eventually start to date. Baruchel's family and friends cannot believe how good looking this new girl is, but doubt that Baruchel will be able to have a lasting relationship with her, because he is a "5" and she is a "10", and relationships that are more than two ratings apart cannot last. Will love win out in the end? You'll have to watch it to find out.
Remember Me – This romantic-drama stars Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin and is about a girl who lives at home with her overprotective father and a boy who wanders through life aimlessly. They eventually meet under false pretenses, and soon realize that they both have a lot in common with each other and fall in love. There is a sub-plot that involves Pattinson's character trying to reconnect with his father (played by Pierce Brosnan), as they have drifted apart since Pattinson's brother's death. The film caused some controversy because of its ending, and it showed that Pattinson's fan base from Twilight won't necessarily watch him in other films.
The Last Station – This film stars Christopher Plummer, Helen Mirren, and James MacAvoy and follows the last year in the life of Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy did not believe in material positions, which caused problems with his wife, even though they were happily married. Tolstoy's followers wanted him to sign a will that will negate all the rights to his work, and put it into the public domain, but by doing this he would not be leaving his family very much when he dies. Will he follow his beliefs or will he look after the best interests of his family? The Last Station was critically acclaimed and both Plummer and Mirren were nominated for Oscars for their respective performances.
The Good Guy – Alexis Bledel stars in this film about a New Yorker who wants a good job, good friends, and a great boyfriend. As the Meat Loaf song says, "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" as she loves her job and her friends. She eventually meets a new guy who she has feelings for, and just as things are about to get serious, she begins to like her new boyfriend's co-worker. The film only got a limited release, and is hoping to find a bigger audience on DVD.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: London Calling-Live in Hyde Park – The title of this one says it all as Springsteen and the E Street Band play songs in Hyde Park in London, England. The music is from the "Working On A Dream" tour, and it's a must for any Springsteen fan.
Stones in Exile – Another must own for any rock fan is this documentary that chronicles the recording of The Rolling Stones famous album "Exile on Main St." It will be interesting to see how the album came to be, as the stories of the recording sessions are legendary. Keith Richards rented a villa in France, and it was eventually decided that they would record the album in the basement of the villa (which was obviously convenient for Keith, who could roll out of bed and go downstairs to work, following the massive parties that used to happen at the villa). The band was not a cohesive unit at this point in their career (the documentary will show this), but they managed to make a classic album.
Entourage: The Complete Sixth Season – This season is more character driven, as each character has their own arcs. Vince spends his time preparing for the Enzo Ferrari biopic, Eric is not over Sloan and tries to win her back, Turtle starts college and has relationship issues with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Drama has problems at work, and Ari has to deal with his assistant wanting to become an agent, and has to help a co-worker lure Aaron Sorkin to be a client at the firm.
Hung: The Complete First Season – This HBO comedy stars Thomas Jane as is about a high school basketball coach who is down on his luck. His ex-wife is getting married, his house that he grew up in as a kid and still lives in burns down, and life seems pretty bleak. Jane attends a self-help seminar and meets an old flame who suggests that he could make a little extra income by being a male prostitute. He reluctantly agrees and the show follows the attempts of Jane as he tries to balance both lives
Until Next Tuesday!

Hammers To Meet Blackpool In Wembley Showdown
May 11, 2012 By Stevo Leave a Comment
Hammers get to play Blackpool in a 90m showdown at Wembley for premiership glory after the seaside town boys managed to pip Birmingham at the post and win 3-2 on aggregate. The thriller of a match ended in a 2-2 draw after Birmingham made a courageous comeback from 2 nil down.
The Blackpool boys were well up for it in the first half and pretty much played Birmingham off the park. It did look at one stage that it was going to be a cakewalk for Blackpool until the brummies stepped up to the plate and snatched one back.Then it was 2 apiece and Birmingham just needed a goal to take it to the wire. It didn't happen though and although it was a brave fightback, Blackpool get to meet the Hammers at Wembley on May 19th for Premiership glory. I think Chris Hughton's team reacted far too late in the game and left it to the last minute to do anything about it.
Chris Hughton had this to say afterwards:
"Their goals killed us and gave them a lift."
Remarkably this will be the third successive playoff for goal scorer Stephen Dobbie. The Scot has been in triumphant playoffs with both Swansea and Blackpool and is hungry for a third against the irons!
Dobbie, who is on loan at the moment from his old club Swansea had this to say about Blackpool's win last night:
"There is something special about Blackpool. It's why I came back. The future is bright."
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is out for revenge, too. He'll remember that the Hammers have stuck eight goals past his seasiders this year and he's out to make amends! He also has in his sights a repeat of the 2010 season when Blackpool got promoted and would like to get back to top flight football after being relegated last season.
Holloway had this to say after the match:
"I'll be trying to work out how to beat a team who finished 11 points ahead of us and won 8-1 over two games.
"I am so proud of my boys. Going back to Wembley is magnificent. We're through to the biggest game on Earth!"
So, with that out of the way, who do we fancy to go up next year? The Hammers of course! I don't think the Blackpool boys will be that difficult to overcome, especially as they will have in the back of their minds the eight goals we've put past them, too 😉
Having said that, it's a Wembley playoff final and sometimes you have to accept that it's anyone's game. For example, who would have thought that Chelsea could clobber the best team in the world and dump them out of a fourth successive Champions League final? Nobody, right?
Well, this a similar game and I think the Hammers are favourites given their record against Ian Holloway's outfit this year alone. But, on the other hand we shouldn't be misled into thinking that Blackpool will roll over and let Vaz Té and company walk all over them, although that would be rather nice, wouldn't it?
The Hammers are going to have to prepare "big time" for this game if Allardyce is to get premiership action again. What a way to end a long hard season, eh? COYI!!

West Ham United 3 Birmingham City 3: Match Report
April 10, 2012 By Stevo Leave a Comment
Ricardo Vaz Té's late penalty saved West Ham's bacon yesterday as the match ended 3 apiece against Birmingham City.
The first half of the match was something out of a horror story and threatened to damage West Ham's promotion chances. Snatching just a point was not what the Hammers really wanted but they showed incredible spirit to come back from 3-1 down at the break.
The Hammers knew that Saints had won their game and were now 7 points adrift. With the pressure now on West ham could not afford to waste this opportunity of a game in hand. Sadly though, this is what they did and gifted Birmingham their goals to make it 1-3 at half time.
The lads from Birmingham punished the Irons for some sloppy football especially from the midfield where the ball was given away far too many times.Birmingham scored twice, both from the home side's errors that saw them give the ball away in the midfield. Ricardo Vaz Té showed courage and scored almost straight after to make it 1-2 but then Birmingham got a corner and some defensive errors cost West Ham a third. The Hammers were booed off the park at half time.Big Sam Allardyce could only shake his head at such a poor performance from his lads.
After the break, Carlton Cole scored to make it 2 apiece and gave an invigorated West Ham some hope. West Ham had a lot of possession early on in the second half but it wasn't used wisely as the best chances fell to their opponents with Rob Green keeping the Hammers' hopes alive with a reflex save from Chris Burke. Curtis Davies also headed wide from a Jordan Mutch corner.
Allardyce was livid as two possible spot kicks were not given. Gary O'Neil went to ground in the penalty area after a challenge by Ramage but no penalty was given.Then West Ham's players were angry as another penalty appeal went begging after Carlton Cole went down while tussling with Steven Caldwell in the penalty area.
West ham's comeback was finally complete when Burke handled Henri Lansbury's shot in the box, allowing Ricardo Vaz Té to rescue a point from the penalty spot for the Hammers that he confidently knocked in.

When young adults enter High School, they are immediately confronted with choices for career paths that have lasting impact. Often times they may or may not be ready to make those choices. The Explorer Club seeks to expose Middle School students to various career options before High School so that they are better prepared to make those career path choices.
In the process, the program builds character so that we encourage good behavior, respect and honor when making better decisions. The Explorer Club is a program much like our existing Explorer Post, but geared specifically towards 6th to 8th graders. The program focuses on preparing for career choices and character development as its primary mission elements.
The Rowlett Explorer Club from the end of August to June, in conjunction with the school year. Meetings are held with the older Explorer Post group, Thursday evenings at 7 pm.


Being healthy throughout your pregnancy is the most important thing for both you and your baby. However, finding the proper methods can be a daunting task given so much conflicting information! This article contains a lot of advice on how to keep both your baby and yourself strong, happy, and healthy during your pregnancy.
Adopt a healthier diet so your baby gets all the vitamin and nutrients it needs. If you ate a lot of fast food, you will have to make big adjustments. Eat more vegetables, fruits and lean protein.
Never skip out on one of your doctor appointments or check-ups. Missing even a single one may prevent you from discovering an important health problem or issue. These visits ensure that your baby is developing properly and that you are not experiencing unnecessary side effects. So, to keep abreast of all the things that come up when you are pregnant, keep your appointments.
You shouldn't gain too much weight. By gaining too much, your health will be jeopardized later because you will struggle to lose all the weight after your pregnancy. A woman should gain about 15 to 30 pounds during the whole pregnancy.
Let your doctor know if you need to travel, when you're pregnant. Take documents that detail the prenatal care you've received to this point, so that you'll have them in an emergency.
Your doctor will prescribe a prenatal vitamin if you are pregnant. You should make certain that these vitamins are consumed every day. These will help supplement some vitamins you might not get enough of in your diet and will help the baby grow strong and healthy in the womb.
There are chemicals that could be harmful while you are pregnant, so these should be removed as soon as possible. Cleaning solutions are one of the biggest offenders in our daily lives, so start replacing them with more natural solutions. Once the child is born, consider keeping chemicals from the home to make it safer.
Find birth facilities when you're close to term. Comfort makes labor go much more smoothly. Shop around a little to get an idea of what kind of facility you'd like. Make a list of things you are going to need for yourself and your partner and select a facility with all these features.
This article gave you a lot of suggestions on how to stay healthy when you are pregnant, so apply what you learned to help both you and your baby during the course of your pregnancy. There is a lot of conflicting information about pregnancy out there, but using this advice can help you confidently handle your pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby.

Airport Transfers in Antwerp
Image by Jules Grandgagnage from Pixabay
Transfers from Antwerp International Airport are extremely easy and convenient. Your journey begins at the airport itself and a lot depends on the method of airport transfers chosen.
Battery Bus, Le Grand-Saconnex | Image by Matti Blume
Antwerp's public transportation system is exceptional. With an extremely organized system of buses and trains one is subjected to a completely different point of view of the city and easy transfers from the airports are provided.
Buses 51,52 and 53 provide easy and convenient transfers from the airport to the Antwerp-Berchem railway station in 10 minutes. The Antwerp-Berchem railway station is located extremely close to the international airport and offers connections to other parts of the country including Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. International train connections are provided by the Antwerp-Central Station which can be reached by frequent running trains from Antwerp-Berchem Station. The connection takes only 5 minutes. Alternatively, buses 21 and 32 and trams 9 and 11 from the Antwerp-Berchem Station also offer fast transfers to Roosevelt Square, near Antwerp-Central railway station. Tickets for trains can be bought from the Ticket Offices or the Ticket Vending Machines located at the entry of the train station building.
Buses 51,52 and 53 run every 15 minutes from the roundabout located in front of the airport and take you to the Antwerp-Berchem Station in 10 minutes. Further, the majority of the buses at the Bercham station go to Rooseveltplaats.
You can also take a tram from the Antwerp-Berchem Station. Tram 4 ends at Slisburg and has a stop at Antwerpen Groenplaats which is close to the city center and shopping area. Tram 9 stops at Meir and Groenplaats and Tram 11 stops close to Antwerp-Central Station
Taxis are a convenient choice from travelling from the airport especially at night when there is no public transportation and you have a lot of luggage. You can find the taxi stand when leaving the airport building. They can also be found at the roundabout from the airport building. Never use taxis that are not licensed. If licensed taxis are not available, an information desk can be contacted for additional help. It is located in the min hall. Taxi companies like DTM and TAXI ANTWERPEN SERVICE provide licensed cabs from the airport. Rydeu provides an easy solution for all your travel woes with easy airport transfers. They are cheap, affordable and leave you hassle-free to enjoy the journey to your destination.
When you arrive at Antwerp Airport from a long and tiring journey, the last thing you need is a worrisome ride to your hotel. At nights when there is no public transportation, when you have a lot of luggage, and when you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of public taxis, here is where Rydeu steps in. It is advised not to take any rides from unlicensed and illegal taxis.
With fixed prices and no hidden costs, transparency between the customer and Rydeu is maintained. As customer satisfaction is paramount, a 24/7 customer service is also available to solve any problem which arises. Rydeu looks forward to seeing you in Antwerp.

We just had our 4th ICSI attempt yesterday, transfering 2 morulas on day 5. They obviously didn't make it to the blast stage.Our Re said that they were not of good quality and despite the transfer the chances of pregnacy were very slim. I wish I could send you the images of the morulas.
I have seen many morula images so far and didn't notice that something was very abnormal with ours ( no major fragmentation). I wanted to get a second opinion as to see if the transfered morulas were such bad quality and she was completely right in saying that. Could it be that they are just slow growing ones or still would make it to the next stages in vivo ? The lab is fully equipped/suited as being a clean-room.

Fox was born in Calcutta, the son of John Henry Neat Fox and was educated at the Sibpur Civil Engineering College and then at the University of Birmingham receiving a BSc in mining (1908). He then worked at the Cannock Chase Colliery and taught briefly at the University of Birmingham. He joined the Geological Survey of India in 1911 and became a director in 1939. During World War I, he served with the Royal Engineers at the Battle of Loos (1915) and lost much of his hearing from a shell explosion. In India, he was involved in the management of mica mines in Joasimar, Bihar, surveys for bauxite and coal. During World War II, he had several old mines reopened including the Zawar lead mines. He was knighted in 1943 and after an extension, retired on July 1, 1943.

In order to adequately analyze the effects on society that reality TV perpetuates, it is important to first examine and understand why and how reality TV came into fruition. Looking back on our history, we see economic recession as the smoking gun so to speak for the creation of this new sort of media. Reality TV provided producers with an easy and cheap way to continue to produce film media, whilst turning a huge profit. This new innovation allowed for free sets, and no need to pay writers, since the shows wrote themselves; the only expense was a film crew and an editing team, which could easily be exploited. This was the answer to the flailing media industry, which was experiencing a decline in journalism, and a deeply rooted need for cheap content.
Reality TV has largely changed the way in which we as a society function and view ourselves as well as others, and has changed the landscape of traditional celebrity. To begin, we must examine social media as a whole and what it means for society. TV is a large player in how social constructs are made, be it of ideal imagery, how one should act in certain situations, and even fosters consumerism, telling what to buy in a way that makes us believe that we need an item because of the direct correlation with our happiness. Reality TV is no different from subversive advertisements in this sense, and is possibly even more sinister in the way it preaches and creates certain imagery that becomes deeply ingrained within our culture, exemplifying the important and evolving role of television in the modern world.
As discussed by Ouellette and Hay, reality TV constructs and exemplifies in a vicious cycle, what normatively is, in a sense teaching us as a society, how to play the game, and how to adequately participate in life accordingly. Television, and particularly reality TV, teaches us how to act and how to behave. Even more importantly, it teaches us how to monitor, motivate, and improve ourselves as individuals according to the ideals portrayed in these television shows. Reality TV provides the masses with the tools and techniques necessary for shaping and guiding an individual's life in outward appearance as well as their private associations with others.
It is particularly important to analyze the specific bodily messages and attitudes about physical beauty that are communicated via reality TV. This is markedly crucial in examining the efficaciously negative consequences fostered by reality TV. Because it is "reality," ludicrous expectations of beauty are only further imposed on society, in a way that advertisement cannot. Many TV shows, such as "Extreme Makeover," and "What Not to Wear" market how change will allow an individual relief. This is a main argument of Weber, who marks how reality TV employs a message of change allowing an individual to meet social expectations, and thus become happier, more productive individuals through this twisted top down, trickledown theory of happiness through physical change. TV shows such as the ones previously mentioned, and "Extreme Makeover Weightless Edition" seen in clip below,emphasize change as means of conforming to the status quo of what it means to be beautiful, which is a social construct that is only further reinforced by advertisement and reality TV, rather than advocating change for health purposes. Reality TV uses the body as a message, and uses these alterations be it through plastic surgery or a wardrobe change, to capitalize on the exploitation of bodily anxieties. It promises success through an achieved beauty, which as previously mentioned is socially constructed. This bombardment of imagery fosters the internalization of a monitoring gaze within an individual, and is only further fueled through consumerism. Despite all this, it is important to remember that the "after" images are only given power through the "before" photos provided, and the comparison between the two in terms of what is expected and deemed normal or beautiful within society.
Another essential aspect of examining the effects of reality TV on society, is analyzing the stereotypes on which it is constructed and which it perpetuates. As discussed by Pozner, there are about 9 or 10 stock characters found in reality TV. These typical characters range from the good girl vs. the slut battle, to the angry black woman, and the gangster guy. These exist as a way of quickly characterizing individuals, as well as a quick way to gain an understanding of these people and other random information pertinent to their understanding. This quick information and categorizing is the reason why all stereotypes essentially exist. However, these stereotypes are harmful not only in the sense of how society functions and how individuals see themselves within the grand scheme of society, but also how certain groups of people, and Americans as a whole as perceived on an international scale. http://en.ria.ru/art_living/20130119/178877245.html, http://atheism.about.com/library/FAQs/phil/blphil_eth_realitytv.htm, and http://powderroom.jezebel.com/how-to-avoid-reality-tv-stereotypes-in-actual-reality-508295937 all examine the effects of reality TV stereotypes and the issues that are faced as a result. These stereotypes perpetuate negative ideals, about beauty, sexuality, and types of people (low brow people such as in "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.) With this in mind, what is possibly the largest exploitation of stereotypes through reality TV is the reinforcement of the American Dream, and how anybody can "make it," as described by Sternheimer. Fame, with reality-based fame largely changing what celebrity means, is used as an escape and as a way to foster and bolster social mobility markedly through economic gain. Teen Mom is a great example of this.
In closing, reality TV is an entity that came about as a direct need for cheap entertainment, which has funnily enough contributed largely to the reinforcement of fame and economic gains as a means of social mobility. The underpinning of stereotypes and extension of social constructs thrust upon society, as well as the use of the body as a means of communicating these social constructs and ideals is something that has longevity. Simply put, the relationships and interconnectedness discussed between these three main identity categories is one that is here to stay until society, and thus television ratings reflect something different.

I really enjoyed your project. Good job! You made some very interesting (and valid) points that really help put things into perspective regarding the subliminal messages that reality TV is poisoning people with today. I absolutely agree that it is cheap entertainment, and I think the combination of the tremendous amount of money that is saved and also the remarkably large number of positive from viewers fuel and reinforce the production of these ridiculous superficial shows. Although they are entertaining, they are hardly a reality. They simply showcase the "ideal" way of life and the "ideal" image. Also, they reinforce negative stereotypes about certain types of people. "Here comes Honey Boo Boo" is a perfect example of this. What really bothers me about so many of these reality TV shows is how the production team tries to make appear as though the shows are intended to be "inspirational". An example of this would be, "What Not to Wear". The title alone sounds superficial! Another part of your analysis that I felt was a very strong point was when you said "the "after" images are only given power through the "before photos provided. That is so true! Good job!

Recently, the speedometer of my trusty old Volvo 850 station-wagon started acting up. Initially, it would just drop to zero intermittently at speed, then come back. Hard to notice if you only so much as glance at it every now and then. Over the last two weeks this got worse such that it would only very rarely do anything at all. My best guess for the cause would have been the speed sensor at the vehicle underside, but for mysterious reasons the odometer was still going at the normal pace. According to the instrument schematics, this should not be possible if the sensor were broken – same signal for both. So, something else must be going on. After brooding over the schematics some more, I decided that the reasonable option would be to remove the dashboard cover and pull the instrument cluster, since this is where all relevant electronics are located. Note that my Volvo is equipped with a Fenix 5.2 (5 cylinder) motor control and therefore has the Yazaki instrument panel which receives the speed signal directly. Other models might get the pass-through signal from the ECU instead, which introduces another point of failure!
You will also need to remove the left and right front speakers because they are cabled and also tend to snag at some structural parts. Carefully pry out the gratings (from the windshield side!), then remove two screws and pull up by the rounded metal tab. Undo the speaker cable plugs, then pull out the speakers. Now you can gently lift up the dash cover by its front edge, pull it towards you and carry it out through the driver-side door. The instrument cluster can now be accessed. Remove the two connectors by carefully sliding the tiny green locking tab facing the driver upwards towards the cable while gently pulling the plug. Now release the two snap holders, slightly tilt the panel away from you and pull it upwards. Take care not to break off the two plastic studs on the bottom which lock it in place! Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures during dashboard removal as I was doing that alone – not much free hand.
Backside of speedometer backplane PCB with lamp already removed.
With the cluster in hand, the fault became visible immediately. A black, charred spot right behind the speedometer contacts looked like burn damage, but was actually acid corrosion judging by the way the PCB resist was discolored and flaking off. It turned out a cap right on the other side had blown out through its wire holes (not the lid!) and the acid had crept through the PCB solder joints, right under the resist. I found the same type of defect on the backside of the speedometer module – probably some acid vapor was deposited here. To make things worse, the speedo- and tachometer modules each had their own caps which were also leaky. The electrolyte seems to be of the old, REALLY corrosive type. The two caps found on the main PCB and speedo module were 100µF/25V types, so overvoltage is probably not the cause. My guess would be continued overtemperature in hot summers. The cap on the tacho module was 220µF/25V. I replaced all three with 220µF/35V types, but take care that the cap on the backplane PCB has to fit into a hole in the plastic mounting frame.
After cleaning, you can see where the agressive electrolyte has already etched away whole parts of the traces. Had to fix that with some wiring.
The actual speedometer needle drive circuit was also damaged.
Cleaning of the PCB was done with a wet wipe, followed by abrasive cleaning of the corroded traces with a fiberglass pen. Do not stop until the copper appears clean, and do yourself a favor: wear latex gloves and wet the PCB before scratching. This keeps the fiber splinters away from clothes and fingers. When all the gunk had come off, I went for two more wet cleaning steps to remove all residual acid and an additional spray-down with an agressive electronics cleaner (a mixture of acetone, propanole/ethanole and some other stuff). Only stop the wet cleaning when a wet paper towel shows no more yellow-ish stuff coming off the PCB.
Afterwards, I repaired the defective traces by soldering thin tinned wire along the path. Take care to fix the wire with solder at regular intervals! I then painted the solder works with transparent fingernail lacquer, which is an excellent insulator and removed easily with acetone should the need arise.
A test drive confirmed that the speedometer worked again. The only thing which does not work completely is the right-hand backlighting of the speedometer. The bulb contacts were also damaged by the acid, which broke the lighting at some point. I originally suspected the bulb, but it worked fine after cleaning. However, some of the oxides must have been left over which makes the bulb a bit dim now. Oh well, another time.
