It's been a long time coming, but the Acura NSX finally left the concept world behind and became a real deal production car at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. It doesn't happen often, but we think the final product actually looks better than all the show cars that came before. Bathed in deep red paint the NSX looks impossibly low, dramatic and futuristic with beautiful wheels at the far corners and floating C-pillars to cap it off. The mid-engine V6 is turbocharged for more than 550 hp and combines with electric motors to drive all four wheels for precise handling. Acura left the interior relatively traditional with only colorful leather work and a red starter button to set it off. Acura is leaving a lot of details unannounced until closer to the NSX's launch later this year but we're glad to finally know it's a looker and a welcome return to a sports car atop the brand's lineup.
We didn't expect a follow up to the mighty GT supercar at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but that is exactly what we got thanks to Ford's heavy emphasis on performance and nobody on the AT Staff is complaining. With a far more expressive and modern design this time around the new GT looks ready to line up next to anything from Lamborghini or Ferrari, and with a twin turbo V6 making 600+ hp sitting midship, the performance should be exceptional. Large carbon ceramic brakes and performance tires from Michelin are also included and the best part by far: Ford is building it next year.
There aren't many surprises in the world of auto shows these days but Toyota managed to keep the FT-1 sports car concept off the radar better than most. Drawing heavily on F1 design, the FT-1 (for Future Toyota, we were tantalizingly informed) aims to inject some passion back into a lineup that current boss Mr. Toyoda has deemed too vanilla. Although the concept isn't a runner and the engine sitting under the windowed hood is just a styling piece, we can imagine a great Supra reincarnated with the 5.0-liter V8 serving in the Lexus IS F. In person the concept is an absolute stunner with classic proportions but completely modern surface detailing and an interior that is all business. We haven't been this excited about a future Toyota in a long time and we were reminded today how sometimes surprises can be worth the wait.


CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine (March 14, 2014) – The online portion of the TD Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race registration filled 4,000 slots in a record-setting 4:32 on Friday morning, and those still looking for a spot at the start line began registering for the lottery.
Runners now have until midnight on March 23 to register for one of the 1,900 remaining bibs available through the lottery, which will be drawn on March 25. Runners can sign up for the lottery at the race website, www.beach2beacon.org .
This year marks the 17th year for the popular international road race founded by Olympic gold medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson and set for Saturday, Aug. 2 in coastal Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
"For many of our runners, only race day itself can top the anticipation they feel the morning of online registration," said volunteer race president Mike Stone.
This year's record time trimmed 26 seconds off the 2013 record of 4:58. Cape Elizabeth residents, given a 24-hour window to fill 600 online slots on Thursday, reached the cap in less than seven minutes, also a new record.
Those who got into the race received an e-mail confirmation from race organizers and those who did not were re-directed to the bib lottery registration process. By 10 a.m. on Friday, 1,835 runners had entered the lottery, ahead of last year's pace. Each lottery entrant is charged $5. Runners who get into the race via the lottery will be notified by e-mail and their names will be posted on the race website on March 25.
Registration also will get underway soon for race beneficiaries, sponsors, elite athletes and runners who have taken part in all 16 past races, who are known as legacy runners.
The race will allow registered-runner transfers from May 1 through June 30. The race will charge a $5 transfer fee. Cape Elizabeth residents registered in the 600 entries allocated to Cape Elizabeth residents can only transfer to another Cape Elizabeth resident.
In addition, the race's 2014 beneficiary, Rippleffect , as well as past beneficiaries are making bib numbers available to runners in exchange for fundraising and/or support.
In 2013, a record-setting 6,244 runners from 16 countries, 39 states and more than 250 Maine cities and towns finished the scenic 6.2-mile course.
In addition to TD Bank , other major corporate partners include Hannaford, Nike, Poland Spring, Fairchild Semiconductor, IDEXX, Northeast Delta Dental, MaineHealth and WCSH6. For additional information about the race, visit www.beach2beacon.org, and find the TD Beach to Beacon on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Lynette Owen is a leading authority on Copyright. She is Copyright Director at Pearson Education and has a particular interest in establishing licensing business in developing and transitional countries. She's taught and written widely on these topics. Lynette was awarded an OBE for services to publishing and international trade in 2009. She was also the inaugural recipient of the Kim Scott Walwyn Prize. Here, she reflects on what it was like to receive the award. The Kim Scott Walwyn Prize was launched in 2003 to recognise achievements by women in their publishing careers and I was delighted to be the first recipient of the award – not primarily for my "day job" as Copyright Director for Pearson Education, but for my external work running training courses in copyright and rights both in the UK and abroad, most particularly for publishers in transitional and developing countries; also for my Selling Rights book and for Clark's Publishing Agreements: A Book of Precedents, a book to which I contribute and edit. Rights has sometimes been regarded as something of a Cinderella in the publishing world, so this recognition was especially welcome. My nomination was supported by two former colleagues, Tim Rix, the Chairman of Longman for much of my initial career there, and Sheila Lambie, now a tutor on the publishing degree course at Oxford Brookes University. Since that first award, recipients have included a range of women with years of experience and established reputations in their publishing fields; they have come from both the trade and academic sectors of publishing. I was keen to support the Prize for the future, and contributed a proportion of the award back to the Prize fund. It has been a pleasure to attend the award ceremonies and to remain in touch with Kim's family at those events. In 2011 the focus of the Prize was revised to reflect Kim's dedication to encouraging young publishers in their future careers, and the Prize Committee now partners with the Society of Young Publishers and the Publishing Training Centre. This new focus has produced applicants with proven track records in their early careers and future potential; publishing is undergoing a period of great change and recent applicants have demonstrated their ability to embrace such change. The Prize has undoubtedly had a major impact on the future prospects of the shortlisted candidates and the winners. I am delighted that the initiative continues to thrive and support it unreservedly. The 2013 Kim Scott Walwyn Prize is now accepting entries. More information and full terms and conditions can be found here.

The most effective forex trading indicators for the MT4 platform
ByAKDSEO
It is no secret that many traders use the MT4 trading platform. It's a powerful tool with several features and indications to assist traders in making informed purchases or sales of currency pairings. This article examines helpful Forex trading indicators for MT4. These indicators can help you to identify trend directions, reversal points and entry/exit points in the market, and you should use them with your trading strategy to achieve the best results.
What are the most effective indicators for the MT4 platform?
Forex trading indicators provide traders with valuable information to help them make more informed decisions about their trades. Various indicators are available, but some of the most popular include moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci levels. These indicators are popular because they help traders identify trends, support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points.
In addition, you can customise many indicators to fit the specific needs of each trader. For example, a trader looking for short-term opportunities may use a different set of indicators than a trader looking for long-term opportunities. By carefully selecting the right indicator or combination of indicators, traders can set themselves up for success in the Forex market.
How do these indicators work?
Forex indicators are tools traders use to help them decide when to buy and sell currencies. A wide variety of indicators available can be based on various factors, including price, volume, and even the market's momentum.
While no indicator is perfect and should never be used as the sole basis for a trade, they can be accommodating in identifying potential opportunities. There are two main ways that you can use forex indicators.
Firstly, some traders use them to confirm their analysis of the market. In other words, if their technical or fundamental analysis points to a particular currency pair being undervalued or overvalued, they may look for an indicator supporting this view.
Secondly, some traders use indicators as a way to generate trading signals. They will buy or sell a currency pair when the indicator reaches a certain level. While there is no guarantee that these signals will be accurate, they can provide valuable information to help traders make more informed decisions.
Ultimately, whether or not to use forex indicators is a personal decision. Some traders find them helpful, while others do not. What is important is that you understand how they work and what role they can play in your overall trading plan.
Which indicators should you use when trading currencies?
When trading currencies online, there are many different forex indicators that you can use to guide your decision-making. Some popular indicators include moving averages, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands.
While each indicator can provide helpful information, the best results often come from using a combination of indicators. For example, many traders use a combination of RSI and Bollinger Bands to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market. By combining multiple indicators, you can get a complete picture of market conditions and make more informed trading decisions.
Are there any other Forex trading indicators?
Many other Forex trading indicators could be helpful to MT4 platform users. The RSI, the MACD indicator, and the Stochastic Oscillator are examples of momentum indicators.
The RSI, for example, measures the strength of price movements, while the MACD measures the difference between two moving averages. The Stochastic Oscillator, meanwhile, tracks market momentum. Each indicator can help make trading decisions, but they all have different strengths and weaknesses.
Advice for traders
Anyone who wants to speculate in foreign currency (forex) needs to know two things: how to read Forex charts and use Forex trading indicators. The former gives you an insight into what is happening in the market; the latter tells you when to buy or sell.
When it comes to Forex trading indicators, there are many different types available. Some common ones include moving averages, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands. Whatever you use is ultimately up to you, but it is essential to remember that no indicator is perfect.
It's often helpful to use multiple indicators, as this can give you a complete picture of what is happening in the market. For example, you might use a moving average to identify the overall trend and then use an RSI or Bollinger Band to generate trading signals.
Of course, even if you use multiple indicators, there is no guarantee of success. But by learning about Forex trading indicators and how they work, you can improve your chances of making profitable trades.
Regarding Forex trading in Australia, having the appropriate trading signals is critical. When you copy trade with MT4 platform has a wide selection of indicators; some are more effective than others. What matters most is that you know how to incorporate them into your trading plan.

'Cardboard Cathedral' Builds Faith In Temporary Structures
By Randy Woods on January 3, 2013 in Green Building
The building of a cathedral is measured in many years—sometimes decades—but churchgoers require a secure, safe meeting place to worship together and heal amid times of disaster. Such is the thinking behind the ingenious design for a temporary cathedral being built out of recycled materials in Christchurch, New Zealand, after a devastating 2011 earthquake destroyed the city's 132-year-old Anglican church.
Though the structure is expected to be occupied for about 10 years while the old Gothic revival basalt-stone cathedral is restored, the Japanese architect behind the project, Shigeru Ban, designed the temporary structure with a material more associated with weakness and disposability—cardboard—and made it a symbol of unshaken faith and endurance.

The 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck not far from the city center on Feb. 22, 2011, killing 185 people and destroying large swaths of buildings in the downtown core. The quake, plus several aftershocks throughout the year, toppled the main spire of Christchurch Cathedral, collapsed part of the roof and seriously damaged many of the supporting walls. After determining that the damage was too great to repair, the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch began plans to demolish the structure and build a new cathedral.
The Church also contacted Ban to build a temporary structure while the work on the new permanent structure continued. He design, now known as the "Cardboard Cathedral," is a simple A-frame structure that uses a series of 24-inch-diameter cardboard tubes as roofing materials. The tubes will also be coated with a waterproof polyurethane and flame-retardant chemicals.

So far, only the rear-wall frame has been erected on a concrete base, upon with the tubes will be laid together on either side at a 60 degree angle. Once completed, the front end of the triangular-shaped structure will be filled with a pattern of multicolored stained-glass triangles. A polycarbon roof will then be placed over the tubes help protect the structure from the elements.
The Anglican Church only expects it will need the church for about a decade until the permanent cathedral is completed, but Ban says the lifespan of his design could be as long as 50 years, if needed.

Ban is known as a pioneer in "emergency architecture" that can be built quickly and sturdily in places that have suffered a manmade or natural disaster. He has built similar structures for the United Nations after the genocides in Rwanda, and following earthquakes in Turkey, China, Italy and his native Japan. Some of the recycled materials he has employed before include shipping containers, beer crates and sand bags.
Cardboard, he told the AFP, is often a low-cost and readily available material, even in times of crisis, and can retain high tensile strength when treated properly. Many of his temporary structures can be built in five to six weeks. The Cardboard Cathedral, his largest temporary structure to date, will be able to seat 700 worshippers and is expected to open in April.
Ban said that architects have an obligation to help communities that have lived through earthquakes and has agreed to accept no fee for his work on the Cardboard Cathedral. "People are not killed by earthquakes, they're killed by collapsing buildings," he told AFP. "That's the responsibility of architects, but the architects are not there when people need some temporary structure because we're too busy working for [the] privileged. Even a temporary structure can become a home."

Sabaton - 'The Great War' http://www.rocktopia.co.uk/media/reviews/photos/thumbnail/200x200s/52/90/73/sabaton-the-great-war-63-1565357099.jpg Hot
Added by Central Electronic Brain August 06, 2019
A great musical tribute to the people who will always be our heroes of what was known as 'The Great War'.
With Sabaton now celebrating their 20th anniversary, is there anything they can't or indeed won't do? Their ninth full-length studio album will arrive during the summer festival season in July and it's yet another historical-based release that offers their passionate enthusiasts a brand-new selection of bombastic battle hymns.
This latest effort is entitled 'The Great War' and it features eleven tracks that were all (unsurprisingly) inspired by events during the First World War. Known for their immense respect and regard when it comes to history, Sabaton started recording the album exactly one hundred years after the end of WWI and it took them three months of intense work to complete.
Coming back to my opening question, the band have now started their own Sabaton History Channel on YouTube with multi-media historians Indy Neidell and TimeGhost where they will be able to show the stories behind the wars, battles and heroes that various Sabaton songs are based upon. The new album will be available in multiple formats, including a regular eleven-track release, an eleven-track 'History Edition', a 2CD earbook containing both versions, various coloured vinyl copies of both and a limited-edition 3CD/3LP 'The Great Box Edition' (which contains CDs and LPs of both variants, 'The Soundtrack To The Great War' instrumental CD/LP and other goodies).
As someone who likes to listen to a record from start to finish, the 'History Edition' is absolutely my favourite version. It takes the album's eleven individual track concept and somewhat re-imagines it with nearly five extra minutes of historical stories narrated by a female British actress which link each track together to create a more expansive and informative retelling of WWI.
The first single to be released was 'Fields Of Verdun' and bassist Pär Sundström comments, "We choose 'Fields Of Verdun' to be the first single since we felt it represented the album perfectly, a classic Sabaton Metal song which we cannot wait to include in the future set-lists." The two tracks which I personally enjoyed the most are 'Devil Dogs' and 'The Red Baron', and within the music and lyrics I could almost see the story of events happening as I listened.
The 'History Edition' is unquestionably the one to obtain; do not listen to it on shuffle, just sit back and enjoy this historical story which represents a great musical tribute to the people who will always be our heroes of what was known as 'The Great War'.

Addiction and The Way Out
Addiction / By Georginia Nwoke
SHEDDING LIGHT ON ADDICTION
Addiction starts first as a secret. The addict later loses control of self and use of the substance. This is the reason a mother will put the children to bed and drink herself to sleep, a father will log on to pornography or gamble after the family has gone to bed and feed the obsession in the mind.
Someone will drive out and wait in a lonely road for his / her drug dealer to deliver supplies of drugs, someone will go to a physician and ask for pain medication even when there is no physical pain, someone will jump from one relationship to another; we can go on and on. Addicts realize after the 'false' sense of happiness; they feel more pain, use more to get back to being 'happy'.
This is a cycle an addict cannot break on his or her own! They likely tell themselves "I am a mess", "I have the right to use what I want" "I have to put my life together", "no one needs to know", "I am responsible for what happened to me" etc.
Addiction includes any negative thing we do which takes away our attention from dealing with the source of our stress and trauma. It also takes away our attention from our loved ones.
A person's addiction case can include drugs, gambling, alcohol, pornography, relationships etc. Most times it is secretive. The person's mind ruminates or gets obsessed with these things and their use or withdrawal behaviour is excessive.
Work can sometimes be an addiction too if it takes the place of loved ones. This is because addiction takes away the attention which the person's loved ones deserve. The person works extra hours, brings work home and finds joy in work instead of in spending time with loved ones.
I had a teenager say to me "I will never be an engineer because my dad comes back late, and always on computer after his dinner doing more work, I don't want to be like my dad".
Why do people get into Addictions?
Most people give reasons for their addictions as a way of coping or escaping from the stress of their trauma.
It is also used most times as a coping mechanism to deflect from feeling the pain from their trauma. These traumas can vary from childhood abuse, abusive relationships, grief and loss, abandonment, family dysfunctions etc.
In my years of working with addicts, most addicts get into alcohol or drug use as early as the age of 12. Reasons vary from childhood abuse including sexual abuse, absentee fathers, addicted parent /parents.
Some children also start using drugs with their parents or peers and they go on from there. Whatever your reasons are for being addicted to abusive relationships, picking up that bottle, picking that drug, calling that drug dealer for supplies, working very late hours, driving out to find that drug, keep pouring in that alcohol into your throat even when you know the effects.
The good news is there is hope for every addict and their loved ones!
Why do addicts keep it a secret?
As mentioned above, addiction is most times a coping mechanism from trauma. It is secretive because it comes from a place of guilt and shame.
How does a woman disclose that she was sexually abused by her father or her mother's boyfriend at the age of 12? How does a child tell other children at the play ground that her parents fought last night?
How does a woman disclose she is in an abusive marriage when friends and family have the impression that her relationship is all 'good'?
How does a boy whose father has never been in his life tell his peers that he is angry with his father? How does he answer the questions in his head: "maybe I was a bad kid and dad left?"
How does a child explain the family he once believed in and felt safe has split, dad remarried and mom remarried? How do couples who believed they got together because they were in love tell their friends they are no longer in love?
How Can an Addict find Hope?
Most of the time an addict will live in denial because they keep their struggles a secret.
Shame does not allow them to ask for or accept help. An addict can only agree to receive support when he /she has hit rock bottom.
This can be when the person has survived an overdose experience, or seen the children taken away by Child and Family Services into foster care, or a terminal health diagnosis result is received from the Physician.
This is why even when families meet with the addict, get friends to talk to the addict; the addict still refuses the suggestions to stop. The addict will do every thing to defend self from shame until the person hits rock bottom.
Once the person is ready for support, they could be taken to a detox centre and from there to addiction treatment.
If you find yourself in one addiction or another, don't wait until you hit rock bottom. Reach out for help because addiction does no good to anyone. It could lead you to a huge loss of resources, relationship with loved ones, death, disability, crime, and jail.
None of these outcomes are good. The time to get help is NOW!
Are you in a relationship with an Addict?
If you are a family member, a partner, child, adult child of the addict, you are equally affected by the addictions of your loved one. The impact of this on you can span from abandonment, bottled anger, self sabotage, shame, guilt, lack of trust, un-forgiveness, aggressive communication style, fear, abuse of all types, stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression; the list goes on.
Don't lose yourself to addiction! This is the time to get help for you!

Why do so many of us love diamonds? Is it their shine? Maybe their versatility? Perhaps it's just because they look nice. Or is it the glamorous names that endorse them?
Whatever the reason, diamond jewellery can be fabulous to wear – for anyone. Even better, specialists like F.Hinds can deliver a range of shapes and styles.
Thanks to innovators, it's never been easier to find the perfect piece. But just how can we keep these precious garments clean?
We explore the three key ways to achieve this.
Regular cleaning can help your jewellery to retain its original glamour. For this, you'll need a small squirt of washing up liquid and warm water.
If you're out the former, or just don't want to use it up, you can just as easily do this with a mild dishwasher detergent. For optimum results, try blending 1 part of the latter with 3 parts water.
If your jewellery piece is particularly dirty, you may want to soak it in this formula overnight. That way, you'll be able to remove prominent grime. Also, you could enhance its shine.
To keep it shiny, why not clean it after each time you've worn it? That way, you can keep it looking new for longer.
Diamond jewellery is often highly valuable to its owner. True, precious metals don't generally rust. But wear them frequently in the sun, and they may fade over time.
Likewise, place jewellery made from it by your window, and it may suffer a similar fate. Luckily, this can be easily avoided. You just need to store it wisely.
Your jewellery storage space is completely up to you – whether it's an organiser or a safety locker. What's important is where you put this holder.
You'll want to fully protect it from heat and the sun. For this reason, we suggest that you keep it in a dry place.
Stark temperature changes can affect gemstones, so it's important to maintain your jewellery in a moderate heat at all times.
Doing this could guarantee a secure storage method for your diamond jewellery – and help it to hold onto its look.
Few people are jewellery experts. So, if any issues arise with your diamond piece, it's often best to visit a jeweller. They will be able to provide reliable advice on what to do next.
Similarly, they can check that your item is in pristine condition, and that its main components – like prongs and stones – are held properly in place.
Should you ever want to sell it, you could ask them to estimate its worth. This may be particularly useful if you received it as a gift, and therefore don't know its original cost.
Whether it's to learn its value or to gain advice, a trip to a jeweller can be very worthwhile.
If they suit your taste, diamonds can be anyone's best friend. And in jewellery, it's usually great fun to wear. What's more, it rarely looks less than beautiful.
With these tips, you can protect your piece – or pieces – fully. As a result, you'll be able to make the most of this rare stone.

30 additional universities, reduction of NECO, UTME fees are Buhari's legacies in Education sector – Adamu Adamu
By Rayyan Alhassan
Minister of Education Adamu Adamu
Rayyan Alhassanhttps://dailynigerian.com/author/rayyan/
Rayyan Alhassan is a graduate of Journalism and Mass Communication at Sikkim Manipal University, Ghana. He is the acting Managing Editor at the Daily Nigerian newspaper, a position he has held for the past 3 years. He can be reached via [email protected], or www.facebook.com/RayyanAlhassan, or @Rayyan88 on Twitter.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, on Thursday recounted the ministry's achievements and promised more access and improved quality education.
Mr Adamu, at a news conference in Abuja, said access to quality education was a major challenge over the years, and assured that government must continue to provide unfettered access to quality education within limited resources.
"When this administration came into power in 2015, we came up with a blueprint for the sector known as `Education for Change.'
READ ALSO: I was sacked for refusal to give Education minister kickbacks, says ex-TETfund boss
"To give effect to our blueprint, we developed a master plan, otherwise called the Ministerial Strategic Plan, MSP.
"In terms of quality, we have done no less, ensuring effective supervision of tertiary institutions, high level manpower training and provision of quality library services, among others," he said.
Mr Adamu explained that the present administration had spent about N727billion in developing infrastructure in tertiary institutions in the last four years.
According to him, much of this funding goes into the provision of hostel accommodation, classrooms, lecture theatres, and laboratories.
On access, Mr Adamu said the Federal Government during the period under review, licensed 30 universities, bringing the total number of universities in Nigeria to 169.
"These comprise 43 federal universities, 47 state universities and 79 private universities, with the combined carrying capacity of about two million spaces as against the 1.5 million carrying capacity we inherited in 2015.
"When we came into office in 2015, the total number of polytechnics/monotechnics/innovative enterprise institutions in the county stood at 298 with a combined carrying capacity of 424,715 spaces.
"To expand access to polytechnic/monotechnics/innovative enterprise institutions, we established or licensed 71 such institutions during the period under review, with a carrying capacity of 93,228 spaces.
"Access to such institutions has therefore increased from 424,715 in 2014, to 517,943 in 2019,'' he said.
The minister also said that the number of colleges of education had increased from 147 it met it in 2015, to 174, increasing carrying capacity from 385,240 to 445,440 spaces.
On the award of scholarship, Mr Adamu said the present administration had spent about N15 billion worth of scholarship awards to students.
He also said that registration for post UTME was reduced from N15,000 to N2,000, JAMB from N5,000 to N3,000, NECO from N11,500 to N9,850 and the Basic Education Certificate handled by NECO from N5,500 to N4,000.
The minister said that investments in library and library services were being intensified in order to keep pace with digital learning and qualitative education.

He lives alone on a very steep hill overlooking Silver Lake in Los Angeles, California.
Trying to close and lock the door behind him Michael O'Hara fumbled painfully with his house keys. The night was moonless and starless dark and, despite the drink he'd taken, his fingers were stiff with age and night chill. There were too many keys. There were too many memories. He didn't need all of those keys. He didn't need all of those memories.
It wasn't a long walk to the pub but he was slowed by the care he had to take along the edges of the hedge rows that defined the narrow road. But he knew his way well and stumbled just once when his wire rimmed glasses slipped from their wedge against his nose as he climbed the three steps into the circle of light that lit the way to the pub's front door.
"Oh, Jaysus, Will you look what the cat just drug in," the younger of the two young men seated at the pub's bar said to the other. The bar was a small well lighted room more long than square with a bar at one end and an upright piano at the other. The walls of the room were timbered off-white. The floor was scuffed now but had begun the evening with a well-kept amber polish shine.
"Ach, he's all right. He's harmless," the older young man said looking up from his half- finished pint and eyeing Michael O'Hara as he came through the pub's front door and pushed up to the bar through what remained of the small Thursday night crowd.
Michael O'Hara collected his glass of whiskey and carried it to a small empty table at the upright piano end of the room. He removed his coat and cap, placed them on the seat of one of the two chairs at the table and settled into the other. He raised his glass to the empty chair, drained his whiskey and signaled to he bartender for another.
"Sure he's all right. Sure he's harmless until he starts with his singing that terrible old whining song," the younger of the two young men continued.
Michael O'Hara signaled to the bartender.
Michael O'Hara coughed twice, leaned into the table in front of him and pulled himself to his feet. He steadied himself into a full upright stance, reached into his back pocket, took a photograph from that pocket and placed it on the table.


For the past few weeks when I drove past Forest Road, Bexley, I've notice this massive queue for a shop with a pink sign. There's a line literally every single time when I drive past, whether it's 3pm or 7pm or even 10pm. Once I was lucky to have to stop near that store to find out that it's sells Greek gyros and which leads me to wonder: was this always here? Or is it new? Reading smh's GoodFood article the following week confirmed that I haven't been blind and this place is only weeks old.
I was prepared to queue for at least 20 min but maybe people heard my growling tummy and ran away because woohoo there was no queue. I was confused/surprised by the lack of people at 7pm, M's answer to my question: maybe because it's a Wednesday? Who knows..
Anyways! Gyros in Greek means spinning round and round, just like the meat here! This allows the meat to be slowly cooked evenly.
The chips also soak up all the sauces from everything YUM!
We were actually expecting something a tad bigger but for $7.90, it was definitely worth it! There are a few tables inside and outside but I would suggest to sit outside (if it's not too cold of course) because it's quite hot inside.
Freshly made pita bread, SOLD!
The gyros is amazing here isn't it? Love their fluffy pita!
Indeed it is! Can't wait to have another one!


A service definition in Icinga or Nagios config can have paramaters called max_attempts or max_check_attempts.
If you've configured the max_attempts option of the service definition to be something greater than 1, Icinga will recheck the service before deciding that a real problem exists. While the service is being rechecked (up to max_attempts times) it is considered to be in a "soft" state (as described here) and the service checks are rescheduled at a frequency determined by the retry_interval option.
If Icinga rechecks the service max_attempts times and it is still in a non-OK state, Icinga will put the service into a "hard" state, send out notifications to contacts (if applicable), and start rescheduling future checks of the service at a frequency determined by the check_interval option.
When a service first changes from an OK state to a non-OK state, Icinga gives you the ability to temporarily slow down or speed up the interval at which subsequent checks of that service will occur. When the service first changes state, Icinga will perform up to max_check_attempts-1 retries of the service check before it decides its a real problem. While the service is being retried, it is scheduled according to the retry_interval option, which might be faster or slower than the normal check_interval option. While the service is being rechecked (up to max_check_attempts-1 times), the service is in a soft state. If the service is rechecked max_check_attempts-1 times and it is still in a non-OK state, the service turns into a hard state and is subsequently rescheduled at the normal rate specified by the check_interval option.
On a side note, it you specify a value of 1 for the max_check_attempts option, the service will not ever be checked at the interval specified by the retry_interval option. Instead, it immediately turns into a hard state and is subsequently rescheduled at the rate specified by the check_interval option.
Those sound like the same thing to me. What's the difference between them, and when they should be used?

Eyewear businesses are offering a wide array of fashionable spectacles at lower prices compared with a decade ago, luring shoppers to buy numerous pairs to wear as fashion accessories.
The trend is good for business.
Sales at Owndays Singapore more than doubled from 2014 to last year, while department store Takashimaya saw a 30 per cent jump in sales for fashionable eyewear compared with three years ago, with customers buying an average of two pairs at a go.
Other leading eyewear brands here, including Oblique Eyewear, Observer Optical and Mimeo The Optical Shop, have also seen sales rise by up to 25 per cent in the same period.
According to market research company Euromonitor, sales for spectacle frames in Singapore amounted to $181.5 million last year, with more than one million frames sold.
Its 2016 report also noted that demand for eyewear remains strong in the country where 40 per cent of the population is myopic.
Mr Edwin Choo, 30, co-founder of Oblique Eyewear, says: "It used to be that affluent customers would come in either to replace a broken frame or make a new pair if their prescription had changed.
"But now, we see more people buying new frames just for a change and also because they are more affordable. It's quite cool now to look geeky... the uncool stigma (of wearing glasses) is gone."
The Singaporean, who started Oblique Eyewear in 2014 with his younger brother, says that several of his customers buy as many as four frames in six months. Prices for frames at his showroom in Bugis Cube mall start at $45, excluding lenses.
These relatively lower prices are likely the result of increased competition in the eyewear market since Japanese eyewear brand Owndays opened in Singapore in 2013.
The industry juggernaut launched a game-changing concept: all-in-one pricing inclusive of prescription lenses (between $98 and $198), wide choices and the promise of glasses being ready for collection within 20 minutes of payment.
This was a welcome change for consumers who, up till then, had to contend with an unwieldy pricing system of frames and lenses sold separately, wait times of a week or longer, limited choice of frames and a staggering $300 to $400 bill for an average-looking pair of spec- tacles.
Taking the cue from Owndays, local eyewear retailers started introducing similar concepts.
Observer Optical, with glasses priced from $99 to $209, and Visual Mass ($95 to $195) now have customer-friendly pricing categories for frames.
Other businesses have cut out the middleman by sourcing for frames themselves or manufacturing their own designs, pushing costs down.
Japanese eyewear chain Zoff, which opened its first South-east Asia store here earlier this month, controls its entire value chain.
Mr Teruhiro Ueno, who is Zoff's president, chief executive officer and chief operations officer, says in Japanese: "We control the whole flow from the design to the very end of selling (the product) and after-care service, which makes it possible to sell the frames at an affordable price."
Spectacles at its Orchard Central store are priced between $98 and $288 and can be collected within 30 minutes of purchase.
So popular are glasses these days that even those with perfect eyesight are putting them on.
The trend, retailers say, was set by South Korean celebrities, most of whom have no qualms being seen wearing spectacles in public or on television.
Oblique Eyewear, Observer Optical and Visual Mass say that 5 to 10 per cent of their customers do not need a prescription, but buy glasses to wear as a fashion accessory.
Wearing spectacles, says Mr Edwin Tay, 39, business manager of Mimeo The Optical Shop at Singapore Management University, is no longer viewed as nerdy compared with a decade ago.
The trend is likely to stick.
The bespectacled Mr James Fong, deputy manager of programmes at the Singapore Institute of Retail Studies, says: "With the pursuit of individualism, consumers who need to wear glasses will turn it to their advantage and see it as a chance to make a personal statement.
"I've been wearing spectacles since I was a child and over the years, it has become a part of me. What I wear affects how I look and what people think of me, so naturally, I wear spectacles that make me look more attractive."
The style took off last year, thanks to South Korean celebrities such as actor Park Bo Gum, 23, who often wears a pair of round-frame glasses as a fashion accessory. Since then, wearing round frames and looking like a geek has never been more chic.
Mr Edwin Tay, 39, business manager at Mimeo The Optical Shop, says that unlike rectangular frames, round frames will not obstruct one's line of sight.
As a general rule, one should go for frames that are the opposite of their face shape, says Mr Eddie Tan, 26, co-founder of local eyewear brand Visual Mass. Round frames complement angular face shapes. However, those with round face shapes should avoid this style as it will accentuate the roundness of their face.
Drop those thick black frames that were on trend a decade ago. In vogue now are discreet frames such as these transparent ones.
Transparent frames ensure that the spectacles do not steal the limelight from one's outfit or stand out too much in stark contrast.
They are usually made of acetate (a plant-based plastic) and come in clear or tinted variations.
Although made of metal, such frames are lightweight and comfortable for long periods of wear. As the current style of metal frames is quite thin, it is a fashionable yet discreet option for those who prefer a more subtle frame.

"Not all viruses come alone" - the impact of orbivirus co-infections on bluetongue virus reassortment and diversity
The project aims to make fundamental advances in understanding how viruses interact within shared hosts using an important vector-borne pathogen.
This is a 3.5 year fully funded studentship open to UK nationals. Funding includes a minimum annual stipend of £15,609 plus a cost of living top-up allowance of £2,200 per annum. Home rated university tuition fees will be paid. EU and international applicants are welcome to apply and all students are eligible for the full award (stipend and home rated university tuition fees). From 1st August 2021, EU and International students will be liable for tuition fees at the international rate and must be able to fund the difference between "Home" and "Overseas" tuition fees themselves. For Home student eligibility guidelines, please refer to the UKRI Full Eligibility Criteria (Annex One).

Associate Dean Research and Innovation (FHMS), Reader In Veterinary Virology
The project aims to make fundamental advances in understanding how viruses interact within shared hosts using an important vector-borne pathogen. Bluetongue virus (BTV) and other species of the genus orbivirus are highly relevant insect-borne viruses of livestock. For segmented viruses such as the orbiviruses (BTV; African horsesickness virus (AHSV)), genome segment exchange (reassortment) between different strains of the same virus species is a major driver of viral diversity. For reassortment to occur two different BTV strains must coinfect the same cell either in the mammalian or insect host. Coinfection of one host by multiple viruses have been shown to either lead to viral interference/exclusion, enhancement or neutral coexistence with direct implications for the likelihood of reassortment, viral diversity and emergence of new strains. We have recently developed new molecular assays to demonstrate that BTV can exclude a second BTV strain from superinfecting natural host cells during asynchronous infections. Superinfection exclusion (SIE) will greatly affect the window of opportunity for reassortment, yet specific mechanisms, and if this is a BTV-wide phenomenon, are unknown.
Within this project the student will further elucidate the interactions between orbiviruses during coinfection of mammalian and insect host cells to critically enhance our understanding of viral reassortment, selection and host restriction. Initially we will investigate the dynamics of coinfection during synchronous and asynchronous infection time-courses across a variety of BTV serotypes and strains and ultimately across heterologous orbiviruses. The project will then investigate the specific mechanisms of virus-virus interactions observed with a focus on the generation of reassortments and viral population diversity. The generated data will then be further utilised to model viral community interactions and viral population adaptation.
The project combines multiple disciplines of molecular virology, next-generation sequencing, cell biology and bioinformatics, allowing the successful candidate ample opportunities to develop specific research directions of interest and scientific independence, while benefitting from unique scientific environments and complementary skills and facilities available at the Pirbright Institute and the University of Surrey. The successful candidate will be part of highly collaborative and vibrant research environments at both institutions, while investigating an exciting research hypothesis with strong implications for the epidemiology and evolution of orbiviruses, with direct transferability to other segmented viruses.
The Pirbright Institute
To carry out the laboratory part of the project, the student will initially be based primarily at The Pirbright Institute. For the data analysis and bioinformatics aspect of the project, the student will spend significant time at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Surrey. The two research facilities are only five miles apart, thereby making this truly collaborative project highly feasible. The student will regularly meet with their supervisory team and undertake training as required at both institutions. A full range of research and transferrable skills training will be made available to the student as appropriate.

Development of techniques which can intensify regenerative processes in the body is one of important approaches of the contemporary personalized medicine aimed at the repair of the lost tissues' structure and functionality. To successfully achieve that goal, synthetic biocompatible materials may be used which make a basis for carrier matrices (scaffolds) with several functions in the tissue regeneration.First of all, such scaffolds create a supporting frame, at the same time being a carrier of autologous cells and substances which intensify cell proliferation and differentiation. The modern biomedical materials science is an interdisciplinary field of research, including a chemical (synthesis of new substances, functionalization of new materials'surface), physical (materials structuring, their characterization and visualization) and a biological (evaluation of biocompatibility) directions of studies.
The main mission of the Department of Modern Biomaterials is the development of approaches to creation of biocompatible carrier matrices based on modern chemical technology and 3D printing, as well as the development of the ways to improve the artificial materials' compatibility with living systems and the ways of intensification of regenerative processes. A crucial requirement to the cell carrier matrix is a possibility of its destruction in vivo, which should lead to the total desorption of the artificial material when the regeneration is completed. At the same time, the rate of the matrix degradation should correspond to the rate of a new tissue growth, to provide the highest efficiency of the regenerative process. Degradation of a cell carrier matrix in vivo is a complex multifactorial process, the rate of which is determined both by the surrounding tissue and by theproperties of the matrix itself: its chemical composition, molecular weight and polydispersity; presence of low-molecular components and ionic groups; morphology (crystallinity); techniques and parameters of its structuring; sterilization technique; physico-chemical factors (size,shape) and a number of others. The studies within the Department are directed towards the solution of fundamental problems of the modern biomedical materials science and include applied research in the field of creation and functionalization of materials for regenerative medicine.
For the successful realization of the set goals, the Department of Modern Biomaterials performs collaborated studies with leading Russian and foreign research institutes:
- Institute of photonic technologies, Federal Scientific Research Center
- "Crystallography and Photonics" of RAS (Troitsk, Moscow)
- Institute of Chemical Physics (Moscow)
- Baikal Institute of Nature Management, Siberian Branch of RAS (Ulan-Ude)
- Hannover Lazer Zentrum (Hannover, Germany)
- National University of Ireland (Galway, Ireland)

The Band is a new musical featuring the music, input, and with the blessing of Take That, a pop group that has continued to evolve and perform in different permutations since its 'birth' in the early '90s.
This production is an unexpected delight that dispels any preconceived fears of the type of pop/rock musical where beloved songs are linked together by ropey dialogue. The creative team here know their subject well and have produced a fine marriage between the spoken word and the group's original songs—including "Shine", "Back for Good", "Greatest Day" and "Never Forget".
The musical then is inspired by Take That, but it is not a musical about them per se. Rather than-a-rags to riches story of five boys making good as the title might suggest, The Band's focus is the enduring friendships that can form through a shared passion for a performer/s that often starts in youth as first love.
Here, a group of 16-year-old girls (Faye Christall, Katy Clayton, Rachelle Diedericks, Sarah Kate Howarth and Lauren Jacobs) are a band of sisters whose ordinary lives are enriched by fandom. Moving 25 years on, their adult counterparts (Rachel Lumberg, Alison Fitzjohn, Emily Joyce and Jaye McKenna) meet for a reunion via a competition win to Prague with the hope of seeing their former crushes; in doing so, secrets are revealed including a poignant episode from the past that has had an effect on all their lives. There is good support from Martin Miller as mature-fangirl partner Jeff and Andy Williams as 'Everyday Dave', a man of many roles.
The boyband (A J Bentley, Nick Carsberg, Curtis T Johns, Yazdan Qufouri, Sario Solomon and—at press night—understudy Harry Fabulous Brown) were chosen by the public via the BBCs Let It Shine, the genesis for this show. And, shine they do. Curtis T Johns's lead on "A Million Love Songs" in particular is a match for the original version. These young performers are woven into the fabric of the story in ingenious ways: as bus passengers, porters, statues, flight attendants and, best of all, as a handsome Greek chorus personifying adult Rachel's angst over whether or not to attend the reunion.
From a set that resembles the scattered photographs that we keep meaning to put into albums, to Ceefax images that remind us of 1993 news (and of Take That's "Pray" topping the charts) the production displays an admirable attention to nostalgic detail. A moment when each teenager sings with her mature counterpart backed by the boys is particularly memorable and proves that Take That's songs lend themselves beautifully to the multi-layered harmonies of musical theatre.
The show has a generic appeal that cleverly balances moments of aching realism (where did that time go?) amid joyful escapism (no easy task). In other words, you do not have to be a Take That fan to enjoy this well-told evocation of beloved-bands and bands of friendship that often break but have the power to stretch and return to shape.
With a running time of approximately two hours, including an interval, the show never outstays its welcome. It is a reminder that Take That's best songs, beautifully harmonized and sung almost back to back, are really good.


so what is QG Jam? Last year I made Quince Jam which was very sharp and Grape Jelly which didn't set very well. Having been through my store cupboard today and decided that these items were unlikely to get eaten, I thought I'd mix the 2 and see what the resulting jam was like. Actually very good! It has a good set and has sweetened up the Quince, result. Some of it will be going to a charity sale which one of our knitting ladies is holding in September.
I have had a busy day, cleaned my house, done the washing and ironing, and altered the neckline to a top I bought a few weeks ago. Peter is cooking dinner tonight, so I now plan to put my feet up and continue with my knitting, especially as it has rained and the garden is too wet to do anything.
