For three seasons in a row now, Issey Miyake has decided not to bring his company's mainline menswear to Paris, but to showcase his Homme Plissé offshoot instead. Yet Mr. Miyake, who remains in Japan rather than travel to Europe for the shows, has not yet committed to this in the long-term. This is a bit of a shame, because the shows are diverting and full of technically adept and attractive clothing. On the other hand, the menswear when it was here was pretty good too. The either/or nature of the equation seems unfortunate.
Anyway, today's show was billed as a jam session, and the notes observed: "an outfit is an improvisation." Daniel Ezralow directed a multi-part series of musical modeling cameos that sometimes tried a little too hard, and in all lasted a little too long, but was fundamentally a benevolent experience if you could suppress all thought of the demands of the day around it.
The first set of models came out in colorful, pleated pieces and shook our hands; nice to meet you too. The second set of four brass players wore brush-stroked pleated pieces and simultaneously danced and played Gershwin. I loved the origami structures of the third group's taped parkas. Then bass players in pieces that were more meh, but totally fine, before a strong, oversized hula-hoop section (this was as close to the viral runway moment that this show seemed to be casting after got) and some nice trenches, concluding with a slightly naff pleated-tuxedo moment. If this was your only appointment of the day, okay. But in its overall context, this essentially warm-hearted and mostly finely attired show would have benefited from a much tighter arrangement.

Argle-bargle, mumbo jumbo, jargon and nonsense. Unless you've taken a vow of silence, we use all sorts of words every day. Let our Gobbledygook column tell you the stories of where words and phrases come from, why they're used in a certain way and how they've changed in meaning. Your brain will thank you for it.


The Pentagon said Monday it is charging a Saudi Arabian with "organizing and directing" the 2000 bombing of the guided missile destroyer Cole - and will seek the death penalty.
Brig. Gen. Thomas Hartmann, legal adviser to the U.S. military tribunal system, said charges are being sworn against Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi of Yemeni descent, who has been held at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006.
The charges still must be approved by a Defense Department official who oversees military tribunals set up for terrorism suspects. If they are approved, al-Nashiri will be the first person charged in the United States in connection with the attack nearly eight years ago.
Hartmann said the allegations include conspiracy to violate laws of war, murder, treachery, terrorism, destruction of property and intentionally causing serious bodily injury.
Seventeen American sailors were killed and dozens wounded when the Navy destroyer was attacked in the Yemeni port of Aden as it refueled.
Al-Nashiri is also accused of a role in the Oct. 6, 2002, suicide attack on the Limburg, a French oil tanker, Hartmann said. The attack killed a Bulgarian crew member and spilled 90,000 barrels of oil into the Gulf of Aden.
Al-Nashiri told a hearing at Guantanamo Bay last year that he confessed to helping plot the Cole bombing only because he was tortured by U.S. interrogators.
CIA Director Michael Hayden said early this year that al-Nashiri was among terrorist suspects subjected to waterboarding in 2002 and 2003 while being interrogated in secret CIA prisons.
Asked at a Pentagon news conference if evidence obtained from the waterboarding is tainted, Hartmann said that would be considered at any trial.
"We will look at the evidence, all of the evidence that is associated with the case," Hartmann said. "While there has been an admission that there was waterboarding, there may well be other evidence in the case. That's not ... necessarily the only part of evidence in the case."
According to U.S. intelligence, al-Nashiri was tasked by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to attack the Cole, and also was al Qaeda's operations chief in the Arabian Peninsula until he was caught in 2002.
Asked why it had taken nearly eight years for the United States to charge anyone in the bombing, Hartmann said it takes time to gather and prepare evidence.
Another one of the alleged masterminds in the bombing - Jamal al-Badawi - was convicted in 2004 in Yemen of plotting, preparing and helping carry out the Cole bombing. He is wanted by the FBI, but Yemeni officials have said it is against their Constitution to hand him over to the United States.
The Bush administration maintains waterboarding was legal when it was used by CIA interrogators in 2002 and 2003 on al-Nashiri and top al Qaeda detainees Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah. Hayden said waterboarding was used, in part, because of widespread belief among U.S. intelligence officials that more catastrophic attacks were imminent.
The CIA banned its personnel from using waterboarding in 2006.

Why doesn't my Laser Egg match the local AQI stations near me?
Does the Laser Egg need to be recalibrated?
What is the Overall Index?
What is PM2.5? How do I manage fine dust?
The local AQI station is using a different AQI standard than the Laser Egg. If you are using a different AQI standard, you will get a different reading, even if the pollutant levels and measurements are the same. You can change the AQI setting on the Laser egg settings page.
Calculation methods can vary by location and country. Pollutants may be measured hourly or on a 24-hour moving average depending on the source. It's difficult to say how other sources or apps calculate their AQIs or where they get their readings, which may lead to different results.


Keep Your Younger-Looking Skin through Micro Needling Procedure The plastic surgeon who pioneered this type of treatment was actually a South African descent more so there are other terms associated with this skincare treatment like Microneedle Therapy or Skin Needling. The underlying concept of this therapy is to incite your own skin cells into producing new cells and collagen. The people who will conduct this skin needling procedure is not just someone who is trained and proficient in this endeavor so there is not much to worry about it. As of today, this type of procedure is already called as CIT also known as Collagen Induction Therapy wherein a microneedle derma roller, a hand – held device that contains various fine pointed needles is used to on the skin of the patient. The needling rollers have needles in varying length, it could be from 1mm to 3mm that penetrates the superficial layer of the patient's skin. This skin care procedure maximize the skin's natural way of healing wounds by producing small punctures on the skin pores thereby producing new collagen and elastin. The tiny punctures that were made in the process stimulates the epidermal layer of the skin and break the blood vessels underneath the surface of the skin. Just like any other wounds that one may have in some parts of the body, this will undergo blood clotting which then creates new set of collagen and elastin. With those information, you now have the idea why your skin will be rejuvenated after the procedure.
This type of treatment makes use of very fine needles thus the effect is somehow negligible because it takes place in a microscopic level. If you have a sensitive skin then it would be best to apply topical anesthetic prior the treatment, this way the discomfort that you will feel during the process is minimal.
Take note that skin color is not a problem in this type of process furthermore even those with sensitive skin can make use of this. There are tons of benefits one can obtain from availing this treatment, this includes an increase in blood flow of parts that has poor healing procedures, reduces the visibility of scars and of course it makes your skin look tighter and smoother. For those who want to be free from wrinkles then this is something that one should consider in addition the use of this treatment also enhances the penetration of serums, moisturizer and lotions. Another benefits of using this is that it minimize the occurrence of hair loss and stretch marks. The process of skin needling can be done once the epidermal skin is healed, this usually takes place for about 6-8 weeks as for the collagen formation it continues up to 1 year after the procedure was done.

Kurt Grünig (geboren am 13. März 1944 in Thun) ist ein Schweizer Fussballspieler. Er lief fünf Mal im Dress der Schweizer Nationalmannschaft auf. Der beidfüssige, flexibel einsetzbare Spieler wurde im Lauf seiner Karriere dreimal Cupsieger.

Karriere
Als Fünftklasser überredete Bruno Lüthi Grünig sich beim FC Thun anzumelden, der dies zunächst sogar ohne das Mitwissen seiner Eltern tat. Bei den Berner Oberländern durchlief die Juniorenstationen beim FC Thun und spielte am 5. März 1961 das erste Mal in einem Pflichtspiel für die 1. Mannschaft in der Nationalliga B. In Thun war er erfolgreicher Stürmer und schoss in der Saison 1962/63 insgesamt 18 Tore für die Berner Oberländer.

Nach dieser erfolgreichen Saison wechselte Grünig zum BSC Young Boys in die höchste Schweizer Liga. Als er 1964 das erste Mal für die Nationalmannschaft aufgeboten wurde, schoss er gleich in seinem ersten Spiel beide Tore für die Schweiz, die jedoch auch seine einzigen blieben.

1967 wechselte Grünig für zwei Saisons als Spielmacher zum FC St. Gallen in die Nationalliga B. Mit den Ostschweizern gelang Grünig der Aufstieg in die Nationalliga A und 1969 wurde er als Captain Schweizer Cupsieger.

Von St. Gallen wechselte er für rund 150'00 Fr. zum FC Zürich, wo er in der Verteidigung und im Mittelfeld spielte. 1970 und 1972 wurde er mit dem FCZ Cupsieger. Da Präsident Edi Nägeli nicht gefiel, dass Grünig in Zürich eine Bar eröffnete, setzte er diesen auf die Transferliste. So verliess Grünig den Verein nach dem zweiten Cuptitel in Richtung Winterthur.

Beim FC Winterthur spielte er zunächst in der Verteidigung und wurde danach im Mittelfeld eingesetzt. Mit Winterthur erreichte er 1975 erneut das Cupfinal, das er jedoch zusammen mit den Winterthurern gegen den FC Basel verlor. Im November 1975 löste der FC Winterthur den Vertrag mit Grünig aus «disziplinarischen Gründen» auf, wobei der FC Winterthur die erhobenen Vorwürfe betreffend einen alkoholisierten Trainingsbesuch nach einer Schlichtungsversammlung im Februar öffentlich widerrief.

Nach dem Konflikt in Winterthur wechselte Grünig im April zurück nach Zürich zum NLB-Verein Young Fellows Zürich. Mit den Zürchern stieg Grünig 1977 in die höchste Schweizer Liga auf. Im Frühling 1978 beendete Grünig im Laufe der Rückrunde seine Aktivkarriere.

Nach seiner Aktivkarriere war Grünig von 1988 bis 1992 im Vorstand der Young Fellows Zürich tätig und von 1985 bis 2010 war er im Vorstand des Vereins Freunde der Nationalmannschaft.

Top 10 Magnificent Living Trees
This lister loves trees for their beauty, serenity and their ability to make humans look thoroughly insignificant. The next time you walk by one, you are walking by something that may have seen a substantial portion of our species's history. They are the inspiration for tons of art, through all periods, across all genres. Now here are the top 10 huge trees which is living for ages...
10. Llangernyw Yew tree, Wales
It is a yew tree growing in the churchyard of Llangernyw, Wales, and its core trunk died long ago, leaving its current appearance: several huge trunks having separated from the original. These trunks did not sprout after the original died, but were homogeneous sections of the original until its core died, whereupon they separated and continued to live off the same roots. Without the core, counting the tree's rings cannot be accomplished. The trunks have a total circumference of about 33 feet. Yew trees are extremely difficult to age, even with radio-carbon dating, and thus, their ages are usually estimates. This one is estimated to be at least 4,000 years old, and may be 5,000, making it the third oldest known, living, single organism on the Planet. It is not merely still alive; it is still getting bigger. This species of Yew grows very straight, and its wood possesses extraordinary strength, flexibility, and durability, making it the best wood, by far, for English longbows. It is generally accepted that because the Llangernyw Yew grows in a church cemetery founded about the 1200s AD, it escaped being cut down for such use throughout most of the English longbow's storied history.
9. The Major Oak Sherwood Forest, England
It is believed that if there was a Robin Hood, he and his merry men took shelter under this tree, and even inside its trunk, when Sherwood Forest was much larger and easy to disappear into. It is at least 800 years old, and maybe 1,000, making its use by people of Robin Hood's time possible. It would have already stood close to its present size by that time. The canopy spreads to 92 feet, but its trunk is what visitors are most awed by: 33 feet in circumference. It stands about 53 feet, and its branches have been so massive as to need to be supported by posts since Victoria took the throne, lest they break off under their own weight. This would not kill the tree, but it would ruin its appearance, and thus, Great Britain has seen to its welfare. 260 of its acorns have grown into saplings, planted southwest in Dorset as a study of the Major Oak's DNA, and what its descendants will look like.
8. The Olive Tree of Vouves Crete
It is the oldest known olive tree on Earth, with a tree ring age of at least 2,000 years. Carbon daters have estimated it to be about 4,000 years old, and it still produces tasty olives today. It is 15 feet thick at the base, is not particularly tall, as olive trees go, but is, quite literally, gnarly. Totally gnarly. The trunk is magnificently swirled, knotted, and bulbous. This one may be the tree Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) wrote of when mentioning a sacred Greek olive tree 1,600 years old in his lifetime. Though the olive trees growing in the Garden of Gethsemane, in Jerusalem, have not yet been verified to date back to the time of Jesus, several are claimed to be that old, and this tree is the same species, lending great credence to the possibility.
7. Pando Utah, USA
Pando is Latin for "I spread." It is not one tree. It is about 47,000 quaking aspen trees, all growing from a single root system. That root system is spread over 106 acres, is about 80,000 years old, and experts have no idea when it will die. It weighs about 6,600 tons, making it the heaviest organism of any kind known to exist in the Universe. The experts are fairly certain that it has not flowered for the last 10,000 years, thus the end of the last Ice Age. Every time a wildfire has burned down all its trees, the root system has survived underground and started anew. Each tree lives for about 130 years, dies, and is reconstituted through the roots and becomes a new tree, elsewhere, nearby. The trees reproduce by means of suckers, which are lateral roots sent out from each trunk until they sprout out of the dirt. These trees don't look identical, but they have an identical genetic makeup, all spreading from one root system to form a single genetic individual, called a clonal colony. In fall, the leaves change to the color of gold brick and seem to glow in the sunlight.
6. The Chestnut of a Hundred Horses, Sicily
It grows on the eastern slopes of the very fertile Mount Etna volcanic soil, on Sicily, only 5 miles from the crater. It is estimated to be at least 2,000 years old, and very possibly as old as 4,000, making it the oldest chestnut tree ever known, and the largest. In 1780, it was a single trunk measuring 190 feet in circumference at chest-height. It has since split into multiple trunks with empty space in the middle, but all the trunks share a single root system. Unlike #7, however, these trunks have not died. They are the same wood and branches as were seen by humans 2,000 to 4,000 years ago. This means it is at least 1,000 years older than King David of the Old Testament. The name comes from a legend that tells of a medieval queen of Aragon taking shelter under it with 100 knights, during a thunderstorm. The tree was able to cover all 101 people. Because it is the oldest known chestnut, much older than average, botanists have no idea when it will die. It is as healthy now as chestnuts that die of old age at 1,000 years.
5. General Sherman, California, USA
Gen. Sherman is only 275 feet tall. Compare that to the average oak tree, which grows to about 75 to 90 feet. General Sherman is a Giant Sequoia, not a Coast Redwood, and not even close to the tallest (see #2). What it is, however, is the most massive, non-clonal tree in the world, by volume. It has 52,513 cubic feet of wood in its trunk. This does not count branches. It is somewhere between 2,300 and 2,700 years old, which means it might have sprouted about the time the Book of Isaiah was written, before the Battle of Thermopylae. Its largest and most famous branch broke off on its own in 2006. It was in the shape of a golf club in pictures dating before then, and the tree discarded it as a defense mechanism in adverse climate conditions. That branch was larger than most trees, 6 feet thick, over 100 feet long, and required a flatbed truck to be taken away, after it was cut up. It fell 130 feet and left a crater in the cement walkway around the tree. At chest-height from the ground, the trunk is 25 feet thick, making General Sherman 10 times thicker than the average full-grown oak. General Sherman's root ball covers almost 2 full acres and contains over 100,000 cubic feet of dirt. That's more than enough to fill up an Olympic-size swimming pool, and it sprouted from a seed that weighed 1/6000th of one ounce.
4. Jomon Sugi, Japan
It is on the north side of Miyanoura-dake, the tallest mountain on Yakoshima Island, south of Kyushu. It is a cryptomeria conifer, called sugi in Japanese, 83 feet tall, 53 feet around at the base, and like yews, carbon dating accuracy is difficult to achieve from it. Its rings have been used to give an age of at least 2,000 years. Beyond this, the sources vary dramatically, going all the way up to 7,000. The tree grows in a very rugged area, 4 to 5 hours from the nearest road, and was not even discovered to be important until 1968. In 2005, souvenir hounds cut off a 4 square inch piece of its bark. It is now viewable only from an observation deck 50 feet away and is under armed guard. It is the oldest conifer in Japan
3. The Tule Tree, Mexico
It stands 116 feet tall on the church ground of Santa Maria del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico, and has the distinction of having the single widest trunk of any tree known on Earth: 38.1 feet in diameter. This is stouter than any known sequoia or coast redwood. The best estimate so far of its age dates it to anywhere from 1,400 to 1,600 years old. This actually concurs with a local Zapotec legend that tells of its planting 1,400 years ago by, Ehecatl, the Aztec wind god. It is stout enough to completely cover the average American house.
2. Hyperion, California
Hyperion is a Coast Redwood, and has the distinction of being the tallest living organism ever measured. It is 379.3 feet tall. That's 38 stories, 50 feet taller than the tallest habitable building in Washington, D. C. It grows in Redwood National Park and was not even discovered until 25 August, 2006, because all the trees around it are also redwoods, and are all gargantuan. Like all redwoods and sequoias (very similar species), Hyperion is so enormous that it possesses its own ecosystem, with full-size pines and hemlocks growing on its branches. It is so high that if you could avoid the branches (and other trees) on the way down, BASE jumping would be no problem at all. There are no confirmed photos of it on the Internet, because scientists don't want it disturbed or damaged by tourists. Like the Giant Sequoia, you can fit about 10 coast redwood seeds on the face of a dime.
1. The Methuselah Tree, California
It is a Bristlecone Pine Tree, named after the oldest person in the Bible whose age is given. The Methuselah Tree is generally held to be the oldest living, individual organism on Earth, measured at 4,842 years and counting. The Bristlecone Pine species can take 700 years to grow 3 feet. It is located in the Bristlecone Forest of the Ancients, in Inyo National Park, in the White Mountains of Eastern California. Its precise location has not been divulged out of concern for its protection. Bristlecone Pines do not grow particularly tall, reaching 50 feet, with a trunk diameter of anywhere from 8 to 12 feet, making for a squat, solid tree, but what they lack in grandiose height they more than make up for by outlasting every other single organism on the planet. Methuselah still isn't the oldest known. That was Prometheus, which was at least 20 years older than Methuselah now, before it was mistakenly cut down in 1964 by a dendrology student who had no idea how old it was. Prometheus might have been 5,000 years old or more, and Methuselah shows no signs of disease or weakness in any way. Researchers expect it to reach 5,000. Let's put that into perspective. It sprouted out of the ground in c. 2832 BC. That's about 1,500 years before Moses was born. Back then, Egypt's Second Dynasty was just getting going and the earliest Egyptian pyramids would not be built for another 200 years. Methuselah is about 800 years older than the Maya civilization. Biblical literalists (this lister not among them, in this case) like to theorize that the Methuselah Tree was the first living thing to appear on Earth (aside from the things in the various boats) after Noah's Flood. That's dubious, at best, but it's a fun idea.

The Tree of Tenere - Was Once World's Most Remote Tree...
This tree once lived in Northeast Niger, in the Tenere area of the south central Sahara Desert, 250 miles away from absolutely anything except the Saharan desert sand. It was an Acacia tortillas tree, the species made famous in the Serengeti by grazing giraffes. The Tree of Tenere is now no more, because it was knocked down by a drunken truck driver, In 1973. Today, there is a metal sculpture in its place as a memorial. It lived next to a 130-foot deep well, and the only reason there is almost no vegetation in the Sahara Desert is because the water table is at least 110 feet under the surface of the earth throughout the Desert.
The tree's roots somehow grew 120 feet long, reaching the water table, and thus enabled it to grow in a place so inhospitable that it was the remotest tree in the world. Today the world's most remote tree is believed to be a Norwegian Spruce on Campbell Island, south of New Zealand. It is the only tree on the island, and the next nearest are over 120 miles away on the Auckland Islands.
Acacia trees have been planted several times in the Tenere tree's spot, but none has lasted in the arid climate. How it was able to survive for the 20 to 40 years its roots would have taken to reach the water table remains a mystery, but it might have grown through the walls of the well and received all the water it needed as it descended.

Top 10 Unique Trees Around the World
Trees are boring. All they do is stand there, occasionally looking pretty in the winter or dropping fruit in the autumn. Except trees are fascinating organisms. They live on a timescale that is hard to relate to human life, and because they act so slowly we often do not notice what they are doing. Here are ten particularly unusual trees; unusual either because of their biology or because humans have changed them in some way.
10. Sculpted Trees
Arborsculpture is the use of living trees to create a desired shape or structure, something like bonsai on a grand scale. Axel Erlandson is considered the greatest of all arborsculptors and his 'Circus trees' are still popular attractions. Through directing the growth of the tree while alive, it is also possible to create unique pieces of furniture by harvesting the wood once it takes on the desired form. While Erlandson's work, seen here (http://www.arborsmith.com/treecircus.html), is the most commonly cited when arbor sculpture is discussed, there are many living practitioners.
9. The Boab Prison Tree
Outside the town of Derby, in Western Australia, is another tree that has been put to use by mankind. The Boab Prison Tree is so named because its stout trunk, 14m in circumference, has been cut into to form a small cell used as a prison. Police who were walking their prisoners into town would use the tree as a temporary holding cell overnight before carrying on to their final destination. The Boab is approximately 1500 years old, and visitors are asked to view it from behind a fence to stop it being damaged, however few resist the temptation to go inside. The Boab of Derby is not the only Boab tree turned into a prison, there is another of comparable size outside the town of Wyndham, which is less often visited due to its isolation.
8. Dragon Blood Tree
The Socotra Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Somalia, is home to the Dragon Blood tree. The Dragon Blood tree is unusual for a number of reasons. Its trunk is bare and branches only at the top, ending in sharp spiky leaves. This unusual appearance is due to the Dragon Blood tree belonging to the monocotyledons, the same group of plants as grasses, rather than dicotyledons, which are more common amongst trees. As well as an unusual exterior, the trees also reveal an unusual interior; once pierced bright red sap oozes out. The crimson sap, called Dragon Blood, is dried and then used as a medicine or a dye. While the inhabitants of Socotra still use it as a panacea, the sap is mostly used in the West as a red varnish for violins.
7. Jabuticaba
Jabuticaba, Myrciaria cauliflora, is an unusual fruit tree native to Brazil. The fruit of the tree grow all over the trunk, and not just in the branches, making it look like the tree is extruding oily tears. The small black fruit are almost universally compared to grapes and are either eaten whole or crushed to make juice or wine. Almost as strange as the appearance of the black fruits are the hairy white blossoms from which the fruit grow. The tree will bloom, and fruit, several times a year if the conditions are good.
6. Pennantia baylisiana
What is special about this tree? It looks just like many other trees and does not do anything particularly exciting. This tree is unusual in the literal sense of uncommon as it is, in fact, the rarest tree we know of in the wild. There is a single example of this tree in the Three Kings Islands off the north coast of New Zealand. Since the lone example of the tree is female there is no hope of breeding more. In cases of self-pollination the fruit are almost always sterile. Luckily, however, it is possible to detach shoots and culture them so the species can now be found in several places, but for true survival of the species it would be advantageous to locate a male Pennantia baylisiana.
5. Kauri Tree
Everyone knows about the giant redwoods, famous for their size, but the kauri tree of northern New Zealand is one of the largest trees, by volume of wood, in the world. The trees can be up to 50m tall and 15m in circumference. This is less tall than a sequoia but the kauri does not narrow as the redwood does towards its top. Because of the strength of the wood and the amount a single tree could yield, the Kauri was heavily logged in the 19th century. Kauri Gum – semi-fossilized resin – was once a major commodity used to make varnish. People who extracted the gum from buried deposits were known as Gum-diggers. The density of the wood allows it to survive well once buried, and workable wood is dug up after being buried in bogs for over 50,000 years.
4. Boojum Tree
The Boojum tree of Baha California resembles a cactus more than a tree at first sight. The thin trunks of the tree can grow in sinuous shapes because the inner wood is remarkably soft and they grow up to 20m high. As a native of the desert, the leaves of the plant are small and cover the trunk to reduce water loss. When the trees flower they produce a cloud of cream blooms at the very top of the trunks. The Boojum tree derives its name from the absurd poem 'The Hunting of the Snark' by Lewis Carroll, which is appropriate for the unusual looking tree.
"But if ever I meet with a Boojum,
that day, In a moment (of this I am sure),
I shall softly and suddenly vanish away —
And the notion I cannot endure!"
3. Rainbow Eucalyptus
The Rainbow Eucalyptus is a tree with bark so brightly colored that it is almost hard to believe that it is not an elaborate practical joke. This tree, native to the Philippines, sheds the outer layer of its bark often to expose new, green bark underneath. As the bark ages it goes through several color changes from green, to blue, to purple, to orange, and finally to brown before being shed. Because the bark is shed in irregular patches the tree displays a collection of all these colors at once giving a kaleidoscopic effect. They can be grown in many places which will not experience frosts but in the Philippines they are mostly cultivated for use in paper manufacture and not as decorative trees.
2. Root Bridges
Root bridges are a specialized form of arboriculture practiced in the forests of northern India. The rubber trees of the Cherrapunji have been exploited for centuries by the Khasis people to grow their own bridges over streams and rivers. To grow your own bridge you need to hollow out a log, lay the log over the gap you wish to cross, and direct the roots of the tree to grow into the log. The roots will grow until they find solid earth to attach to, anchoring the bridge. Once the roots have formed a bridge, soil and stones, or other wood, are laid over them to protect them from damage as people cross.
1. Chapel Oak
Le Chêne Chapelle (The Oak Chapel) in Allouville-Bellefosse is an oak which has been carved out to house two chapels within its enormous trunk. The oak itself is approximately 800 years old, and the chapels were added in the 1600s. A lightning strike burned the core of the tree but the tree survived and remained standing, allowing the local priests to build their chapel within it. Today the tree is beginning to show signs of its age and the pressures of housing a religious site, and so requires supporting struts. Despite this, the chapel remains in use and a mass is celebrated twice a year at the site. To reach the upper of the two chapels there is a staircase which winds around the trunk.

Malaysia's Port Klang to become Southeast Asia's largest transit hub for Islamic products
by Jia Ning Tan
PORT KLANG, Malaysia, Feb. 2 — The Port Klang Free Zone, Malaysia's integrated freeport and commercial and industrial park, is set to give regional free ports a run for their money as it is turning into Southeast Asia's largest transit hub for the international Islamic market.
The 1,000-acre Port Klang Free Zone provides facilities for international procurement, green development and Islamic product manufacturing and distribution, targeting mainly Chinese and Southeast Asian investors.
The free trade zone, situated along the Melaka Straits, could connect Islamic product manufacturers in China to the growing global halal market, sole lease facilitator, SM International Wholesale Centre Sdn Bhd, said.
"The Islamic product output in China is dwarfed when compared with the country's overall production. Chinese exports of Islamic food and products only represent less than 5 percent of the global trade of halal goods and the lack of certification services there is one of the contributing factors. We believe through Malaysia's internationally-recognized certification, China could increase its shares in global halal trade," Xia Baowen, SM International chairman, said.
Port Klang Free Zone was incorporated in 2005.
The construction of the project was stalled five years ago when the zone's original cost estimate of 1.96 billion ringgit(about 630 million U.S.dollars) was discovered in an audit report to have ballooned to about 3.52 billion ringgit(about 1.14 billion dollars) , excluding interest costs. The controversy over the audit report made headlines.
But it has been remedied since then and the freeport is set to open for business by the end of the year.
More than half of the free trade zone's 512 light industrial factories have already been booked by investors seeking to exploit Port Klang's position as the world's 13th largest and 16th busiest port.
The free trade zone houses four office blocks with a capacity of 3,000 trade booths, a 10,000-square-meter exhibition center, spaces for forwarding agents, and a four-star hotel that is slated to be launched by August.
"For the industrial zone, we already received bookings from 30 to 50 companies that are mainly in the halal industry. Our focus next year would be more on the commercial zone and to lease to Chinese investors our 4,000 trade booths available," Xia said.
His company, which also distributes halal food, provides investors with information on local trade policies, incentives such as a 10-year tax break for factories and assistance in securing the necessary documents for doing business in Malaysia.
The company is now negotiating with the 100 best halal manufacturers from 100 different bases across China to invest in Port Klang Free Zone.
"Malaysia is already an Islamic product distribution hub as most halal manufacturers in the world have opened their offices here. It has its influence in the Islamic market. The Islamic market in recent years has been affected by the political turmoil in the Middle East and the European financial crisis but once it recovers, the demand would surge," Xia said.
"Cosmetics products, health products, medicines and food will need to be halal-certified so that they can be exported to Muslim countries and Port Klang Free Zone would be the most suitable base for that," he added.

Tumblr will kill RSS
Google's shuttering of Reader is a failure to find a business model for RSS.
Back in 2001 or so, when RSS started getting really popular, my first question was: why would any ad-supported site do this? It's obviously really convenient for me, as a reader, to get the full content of your site without having to visit it, but that destroys page views and thus ad revenue for the publisher. Even if the RSS feed consists only of headlines, that eliminates one, perhaps several visits I might have made to the home page each day to check for new headlines manually. Great for me, terrible for the publisher.
The monetization idea for RSS was there in the name: syndication. In old media, syndication was a content-sharing agreement settled upon for a fixed time and a nontrivial fee, whereby a single author could get into dozens or hundreds of separate publications that, crucially, didn't compete with each other -- if your article appeared in both the Des Moines Register and the Miami Herald, neither publication was bothered about that, because their overlap in readers was negligible.
The problem for RSS is that the Internet doesn't work that way. There are no non-overlapping markets: if your RSS feed allows another website to display your content, they are going to steal your page views directly. That might be okay if you made more money that way, but RSS doesn't charge a fee! It's just giving away your content for no apparent reason.*
That problem might go away if you could find some way to monetize RSS directly. Enter Feedburner! It was supposed to provide you with readership stats for your feeds (to compensate for the apparent decline in readership of your site when people switch to RSS) and, eventually, provide you with income via ads in your feeds.
Google acquired Feedburner for something like $100 million in 2007. It then launched AdSense for Feeds, which was supposed to be the way to monetize the feeds. But it never worked. Either advertisers didn't buy the ads, or readers didn't click the ads, but last September Google shut down AdSense for Feeds.
If you can't monetize the feeds themselves, the only other thing you can try, if you're Google and you've paid all this money for FeedBurner, is to try monetizing the RSS reader application itself. With the shutdown of Google Reader today, that experiment is now over.
Is RSS dead, and if so, what will replace it? In the short term, some service will spring up to replace Reader (and, when it is eventually killed off, Feedburner itself). In the longer term I think we need to look harder at the business model of RSS itself. The web grows fastest in ways that are mutually beneficial for everyone, and RSS's benefits seem one-sided.
For users, there is undoubtedly value in the time saved not having to go to the front page of every site every day to check for interesting articles. To some extent, that purpose is being served by ad-hoc social distillation of news via social media, especially Twitter and Facebook. There are also news aggregation sites like Techmeme (and its political cousin Memeorandum), as well as news/social hybrid sites like Hacker News and Reddit.
For publishers, particularly lower-volume publishers, there is value in having readers be able to "subscribe" to your site, i.e. getting notifications every time you publish something. However, notification is really all you want -- to drive visitors to your site. Giving away content for free is never going to be attractive to publishers who have to pay people to write it.
The clearest model I see for the future of content syndication is Tumblr. Big publishers have been hopping on for a while now: the New Yorker, the Economist, the New York Times (half-heartedly), the Guardian, etc., and they've been enthusiastically aided by Tumblr itself in doing so. The model is simple: readers subscribe to your content by following your Tumblr, which posts a curated subset of your content, edited for the quick-glance format of the Dashboard, in the hopes that readers will click through.
This seems to me to work better for everyone. Tumblr's built-in reblogging is the ultimate in social amplification mechanisms, ensuring that a publisher's best posts will be seen by far more people than actually subscribe to their feed. Going viral so easily is the carrot that brings publishers to the platform.
For users, instead of an inbox-like interface with thousands of "unread" posts** of equal importance, they get a continuous feed of new content on their dashboard, and reblogging ensures that particularly interesting content will be repeated multiple times as different friends reblog it, so you're less likely to miss it. This is a more natural, social, and less frustrating mechanism for surfacing the best content.
Of course, Tumblr isn't perfect -- its audience skews young, it's perceived as unserious, and it prefers quick visual hits to long-form writing. There are already dozens of potential competitors to become the source for socially-filtered content. But I believe Tumblr, or something very like it, will be the eventual winner in this space.
* There may be non-free ways to make syndication work. Felix Salmon is a fan of paid syndication of web content, though the drawbacks he lists in that post are enough to make continue to doubt it as a viable model or a desirable practice.
** The feature that always turned me off of RSS readers. You can't give me an "unread" count for the whole web and not expect that to drive me nuts.

'iPhone nano' rumors resurface, now accompanied by mockups
By Zach Epstein @zacharye
As long as we've heard rumors of a Verizon iPhone, we've also heard rumors that a lighter, smaller, cheaper iPhone was in the works behind closed doors in Cupertino. Sticking to the theme of constantly rehashing rumors until they come true, The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that Apple is indeed working on a bite-sized iPhone that will soon become a reality. Codenamed "N97," the new iPhone will be half the size of the current model and could be available for as little as $49 on contract. It may include a "voice navigation" feature as well, providing a more flushed-out catalog of voice commands. We're also starting to see a variety of designers issue mockups of the device, which would certainly shake up the mobile industry and spell further trouble for Apple's competition. If The Journal's report is accurate, however, the mockups we've seen thus far are likely way off base considering the rumored new iPhone model is said to feature a screen that "goes to all of the edges" of the phone. Finally, it is worth noting that an iPhone of this size would likely have to do away with the iPhone's current home button configuration, a sentiment in line with our exclusive report from last month.

PM Harper To Chabad: Canada A Defender of Jews, Israel
Photo Credit: Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Parliament Hill greeting Chabad representatives.
(lubavitch.com) Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper greeted Chabad-Lubavitch Canadian representatives Thursday, denouncing anti-Semitism and promising to repudiate it wherever it surfaces.
"Canada will remain an unyielding defender of Jewish religious freedom, a forceful opponent of anti-Semitism in all of its forms and a staunch supporter of a secure and democratic state of Israel," he said.
The Prime Minister spoke at a ceremony on Parliament Hill where he was joined by Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney and other MPs who turned out to honor Chabad-Lubavitch representatives during a regional conference. There are 50 Chabad centers serving the Canadian Jewish population.
"Anti-Semitism is a pernicious evil that must be exposed, that must be confronted, that must be repudiated, whenever and wherever it appears. Fueled by lies and paranoia we have learned from history it is an evil so profound, indeed as we saw in Mumbai, that it is ultimately a threat to us all," he said.
Mr. Harper expressed his condolences for the "brutal and senseless murders" of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg, emissaries of the Rebbe, who, "by performing mitzvahs and bringing more light into this world . . . were fulfilling the late Rabbi Schneerson's vision for strengthening Judaism."
The Prime Minister noted that the arrival of new Chabad representatives in Mumbai "to carry on the work of the Holtzbergs sends a powerful message: The Jewish community will never bow to hate and violence."
"When it comes to standing against hate and intolerance, none have persevered, none have been as resolute as the Jewish people," he said.


Cultural and Congress Centre Cankarjev dom boasts a compelling artistic programme and an impressive list of congress events. It programmes cultural and artistic events by national and international artists, conducts diverse congresses and commercial events and works in cultural and artistic as well as scientific and economic partnership with the Municipality of Ljubljana and the Republic of Slovenia and in cooperation with international institutions; it fosters and promotes artistic spirit of urban living.

Q: Can we have cassandra only nodes and solr enabled nodes in same datacenter? I just started with solr and would like your suggestion in below scenario. We have 2 data centers with 3 nodes in each data center(both in different aws regions for location advantage). We have a requirement for which they asked me if we can have 2 solr nodes in each data center. so it will be 2 solr nodes and 1 cassandra only node in each data center. I want to understand if its fine to have this kind of setup and I am little confused whether solr nodes will have data on it along with the indexes? does all 6 nodes share data and 4 solr nodes will have indexes on it along with data?  Kindly provide some information on this. Thanks.

A: Short answer is no, this will not work. If you turn on DSE Search on one node in a DC you need to turn it on for all the nodes in the DC.
But why??
DSE Search builds lucene indexes on the data that is stored local to a node. Say you have a 3 node DC with RF1 (the node only has 1/3rd of the data) and you only turn on search on one of the nodes. 1/3 of your search queries will fail.
So I should just turn search on everywhere?
If you have a relatively small workloads with loose SLA's (both c* and search) and/or if you are over provisioned, you may be fine turning on Search on your main Cassandra nodes. However, in many cases with heavy c* workloads and tight SLA's, Search queries will negatively affect cassandra performance (because they are contending against the same hardware).
I need search nodes in both Physical DC's
If you want search enabled only in two out of your three nodes in a physical DC, the only way to do this is to actually split up your physical DC into two logical DC's. In your case you would have:
US - Cassandra
US - Search
Singapore - Cassandra
Singapore - Search
This gives you geographic locality for your search and c* queries and also provides workload isolation between your c* and search workloads since they contend against different OS Subsystems.

Jaguar Land Rover recently announced its Classic Works, a branch of the company dedicated to keeping the British marque's history alive. Whether taking dilapidated E-Types and turning them into concours examples or doing a simple refresh on your vintage Discovery, this gleaming new in-house shop is your go-to for vintage restos. To prove its worth, JLR brought "Swampy," what was once the world's saddest Range Rover, to Goodwood Revival in completely restored, factory-fresh condition.
Gone are the years of moss and vegetation that had plagued this car from a near-30 year stint under a tree in Northamptonshire. Now, it looks like the perfectly apt machine that the plucky Brit's had built for the upper-class working man -- rugged, capable, and most importantly, beautiful. And the greatest part about it is, everything on this like-new 4x4 is all OEM. No off-brand recreations of otherwise unobtanium parts, just Land Rover's best, plain and simple.
"Swampy's owners came to Revival yesterday and got quite emotional about seeing their car again," said a JLR Classic spokesman.
Land Rover will be happy to treat your Range to a ground-up, nut and bolt restoration like this one, but don't expect it to be cheap. This marsh-ridden example cost upwards of £100k, or likely about $150,000. As a matter of fact, JLR Classic is actually seeking out more cars like this to revive the model's history.
The Bahama Gold example is currently for sale at £165,000, or about $217,000. While that price range is well-into supercar territory, you get something with an original Range Rover that you can't get anywhere else. That undeniable charm that distinguishes the classic from the rest of the field of Toyota FJs, Ford Broncos, and the lot is enough to solidify its own spot in the books. If you want your own, just ring up JLR Classic, preferably after you've put up your house as collateral.

44 Ancient Egyptian relics repatriated from France: Minister
Al-Masry Al-YoumMay 16, 2016
Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Anany declared on Monday that 44 relics smuggled from Egypt to France have been repatriated after six years of negotiations and legal measures.
The items, dating from various periods of ancient Egyptian history, were seized in 2010 at Charles de Gualle airport in Paris, in one of many interceptions of attempts to smuggle Egyptian artifacts into France during the same year.
Shaaban abdel Gawad, the General Supervisor of the Restored Monuments Department of the Antiquities Ministry, said, "These items, in addition to the ones repatriated last year, were seized at Charles de Gaulle airport in March and November 2010. The Antiquities Ministry filed an official request to the French government to have the artifacts returned to Egypt after asserting our rightful ownership of them as pieces of our archaeological and cultural heritage."
In a press release on Monday, Anany said that the French authorities in question have handed over the relics to the Egyptian Embassy in Paris.
He expressed his appreciation toward the French government over their cooperation with the ministry in retrieving the smuggled items, noting that 240 relics were returned last year from Paris.

Title: Strongly red-shifted photoluminescence band induced by molecular twisting in cyanine (cy3) dye films
Surendra Anantharaman has his expertise in growth and optical characterization of organic dye films. With Bachelors in Physics (Anna University, India), he did his Masters in Materials Science, and M.S (By Research) from Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. His Master's thesis was on 'Electrolyte Materials for Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells'. His area of research interest lies in oxides, nitrides and organic molecules focusing on energy harvesting applications. After working as an Engineer in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Taiwan he joined as Ph.D Student at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2015 under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Frank Nüesch and Dr. Jakob Heier. As a Ph.D student, he is working on understanding the growth of organic crystals and its methodology from the morphology and surface-molecule interactions in the Laboratory for Functional Polymers at Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) Dübendorf, Switzerland.
Cyanine dye molecules, used as monomers or in aggregate form, find interesting applications in opto-electronic devices. Among the various aggregate species incorporating organic dyes, centrosymmetric dimers are known as non-luminescent. They can act as exciton quenchers due to a low energy optically forbidden excited state. In this study, however, we show that a dimer species in thin films exhibits efficient and strongly red-shifted photoluminescence [1]. When the films were excited, a monomer emission at 590 nm along with a second emission peak at 680 nm was observed. Temperature dependent fluorescence were studied for cyanine films. The dimer emission increases with decreasing temperature due to reduced non-radiative process becoming less effective. A close relation between the dye concentration and the emission showed that a new emission at 680 nm corresponds to the dimer emission. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy reveals that a fraction of the dimers exists in a twisted dimer configuration. Stable, long-lived and quenchable fluorescence with high quantum yield are attributed to this dimer emission. Organic light emitting electrochemical cells (OLECs) fabricated with this dye showed a higher luminance owing to the dimer emission [2].

Corey Lewandowski to Newsmax: 'Politicization' of DOJ Being Ignored
(Newsmax/"John Bachman Now")
By Jay Clemons | Tuesday, 13 September 2022 03:01 PM EDT
Corey Lewandowski, a former senior adviser for Trump in 2020, said the American public and White House would be "up in arms" if word broke of a Third-World country dictator using the federal police to "intimidate" and "harass" their main political opponent, along with that candidate's senior aides and junior staffers.
Lewandowski said the left-leaning media and Democrats have largely chosen to ignore the Biden administration's influence with the FBI's Aug. 8 raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, or recent news accounts of Trump staffers being harangued by federal officials, amid threats of "weapons, badges, and subpoenas."
"This the politicization of the Justice Department," Lewandowski told Newsmax on Tuesday while appearing on "John Bachman Now." "[The feds] showing up at people's homes, knocking on doors" and try to frighten workers connected to Trump.
Lewandowski added that "as opposed to just calling" these staffers, federal officials are looking to execute home searches, which serve the dual purpose of getting media attention, and also intimidating and embarrassing those who don't have the financial means to afford high-priced legal representation.
"[The feds] want to bankrupt you," said Lewandowski.
Lewandowski said the best way to combat political intimidation involves voting for Republican changes at the ballot box; and in New Hampshire, particularly the U.S. Senate battle, Lewandowski said the GOP "can clearly win this race, if they nominate the right person."
Entering tonight's primaries in New Hampshire, Real Clear Politics has Senate candidate Donald C. Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, leading the Republican primary challengers by double-digit points.
"Here is a real opportunity for Republicans to take [over] a competitive U.S. Senate seat," says Lewandowski, while forecasting that incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., would be "absolutely vulnerable" in a general-election setting.
Republicans and Democrats are deadlocked in a 50-all tie for Senate seats heading into the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
According to Lewandowski, Hassan's vulnerability has a connection to the failed policies of President Joe Biden.
Lewandowski said Biden's New Hampshire poll numbers are "atrocious."
Lewandowski also hearkened back to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in this state, when "the people of New Hampshire remember that [Biden] left halfway through the [campaign] day to go down to South Carolina."

About Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance is all about governing a company or corporation, including the many different rules, processes and strategies involved.
What interests play a role? How is the balance between, for instance, shareholders and the board of executives, between customers and economy?
What leadership strategies are the ones best suited for the corporation? A small basement company consisting of two persons will most probably not need the same kind of leadership as a big, multinational corporation.
Keynote speakers on Corporate Governance delve into these discussions as well as offering strategies relating to different leadership concepts and ideas.

'We won': DACA recipients overwhelmed by surprise Supreme Court victory over Trump
Just as she'd done every day that the Supreme Court released its opinions, Itzel Hernandez sat down at her computer in her home in central New Jersey on Thursday morning and repeatedly clicked refresh to look for the court's ruling on DACA.
Finally, just after 10 a.m., there it was. Hernandez, like so many other DACA recipients across the country, started speed-reading the decision. It appeared that the court was ruling in her favor, that President Donald Trump and his administration were being shot down in their attempt to end the program.
"I was like, 'Wait, I don't think I'm reading this correctly,'" said Hernandez, 26.
Then she saw a tweet from a legal expert declaring that DACA had survived.
"That's it," she thought. "We won. There's already so many tears that have been shed. Nobody can believe it."
In a deeply divided 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court ruled that the Department of Homeland Security's "arbitrary and capricious" process to end DACA was unlawful. That means that the Deferred Action for Childhood Protection (DACA) program created by President Barack Obama in 2012 will endure, allowing more than 650,000 DACA recipients to continue legally living and working in the U.S.
Trump called the "politically charged" ruling the latest in a series of "shotgun blasts" to the face of Republicans and conservatives.
Karen Caudillo saw it and started crying tears of joy.
Caudillo was illegally brought to the U.S. by her parents from Mexico when she was 4 years old. She was approved for DACA when she was a junior in high school, and that allowed her to attend the University of Central Florida, where she graduated last year with a bachelor's degree in political science. It also allowed her to start her own house-cleaning business that uses only organic cleaning products.
When Caudillo first saw that the decision was released on Thursday, her heart sank, fearful of what it would say. But once it became clear that DACA had been upheld, she FaceTimed with her mother, and the two wept.
"She told me, 'This is proof that all of our efforts, all of our sacrifices to get into this country, to give you a better life than what we had, it was all worth it,'" said Caudillo, 24.
For Gaby Pacheco, the ruling removed a huge weight she has carried on her shoulders for nearly a decade.
While most undocumented immigrants live their lives in the shadows, always fearful of alerting police or government officials, Pacheco was among the first "Dreamers" who publicly advocated for legal protections, blasting out her name and her face for all to see.
In 2010, she and three other young undocumented immigrants led the Trail of Dreams, a four-month march from Miami to Washington, D.C., to push for passage of the Dream Act, a bill to protect young undocumented immigrants from deportation that has been repeatedly proposed and defeated in Congress.
She participated in a sit-in in Sen. John McCain's office. She helped lead the pressure campaign against the Obama administration to create DACA. And when Obama created it, she was part of a team of negotiators with United We Dream that worked with the Obama administration to implement DACA.
One of the key wins during that negotiation was persuading U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency that operates the DACA program, to seal off the personal information provided by DACA applicants from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that arrests and deports undocumented immigrants. That agreement lasted until Trump won the presidency in 2016. Ever since, ICE has threatened to use that information to target DACA recipients with standing orders of removal if and when DACA was terminated.
"When Donald Trump won and his first promise was that he was going to end the program, that's when I stopped sleeping," Pacheco said Thursday. "I feel responsible for all the lives of all these young people. That's what I've been carrying all these years."
That's why Thursday's ruling was such a relief for Pacheco, 35, who was part of the DACA program but no longer needed it after she became a permanent legal resident in 2017.
"I started trembling: my hands, my feet, my whole body. I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this actually happened,'" she said. "I feel like that little monkey that's been on my back all these years, I can say, 'Get off of me.'"
Despite the excitement – and the countless virtual parties to come Thursday night – Hernandez, Caudillo and Pacheco each made clear that there is still much work to be done.
Pacheco, who is now the program director for advocacy for TheDream.US, an organization that helps "Dreamers," said immigrants need to continue watching closely to ensure the administration continues operating the program properly. The administration could try to end the program again, just as it proposed multiple versions of a travel ban targeting majority-Muslim countries before the Supreme Court finally approved the third iteration.
Caudillo, who also works as a digital organizer for FLIC Votes, a Florida-based organization that advocates for immigrants, said she's concerned about problems that still plague undocumented immigrants who are Black and transgender, and young undocumented immigrants who were left out of the DACA program.
And Hernandez, an immigrant rights organizer for the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization that advocates for justice reform, said there are still 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. who continue being arrested, detained and deported that they need to protect.
"Tomorrow we wake up just as committed to pushing for what we want: full citizenship," she said.
But for one day, at least, each of them will take the time to celebrate.
"I'm probably going to get some really good sleep tonight," Pacheco said.
