Prices of daily necessities expected to stabilise by January
December 11, 2021 by Read Sector
BUKIT MERTAJAM: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) expects the price of daily necessities to fully stabilise by January.
Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid (pix) said monitoring and inspection carried out found that the price of goods has begun to stabilise with vegetables showing a drop in prices.
"The stable prices such as vegetables are due to several factors such as the weather in the production area is getting better.
"Besides that, the Malaysian Family Sales Programme (PJKM) which offers daily necessities at prices up to 20 per cent cheaper than market price and efforts to import frozen chicken are also among the factors prices are stabilising, we expect by January or February (prices of goods) to stabilise again," he told reporters here today.
He was met after launching the PKJM which was held at the Seberang Perai Tengah District Mosque (SPT), in Perda which was also attended by Penang KPDNHEP Director Mohd Ridzuan Ab Ghapar.
Commenting further, Rosol said the PJKM which was launched on Dec 2 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob had been implemented in 15 parliamentary constituencies nationwide so far and as of yesterday, sales revenue from the programme amounted to RM423,844.
He said the programme, planned for twice a month, received encouraging response from the public.
"As of yesterday, a total of 28,000 visitors had attended the programme to buy daily necessities such as chicken, fish, eggs, vegetables, cooking oil, sugar, flour and rice," he said.
He said the implementation of PJKM, conducted by KPDNHEP, was held as a government initiative to help ease the cost of living, especially among those with low incomes and to address the situation of rising prices of goods.
"The programme is implemented in all 222 parliamentary constituencies nationwide until March next year, and if there is a need after that we may continue but even if the prices have stabilised we will continue to monitor the situation," he said. — Bernama

Cheap Shuttle Buses
6/4/2005 — By Katharine Ristich
What began as low-cost transport for Chinese communities in the Northeast has now spread to the West Coast--and elsewhere-a-nd is being used by everyone
Land of the shoestring shuttles! Stunned by the success of ultracheap (mainly Chinese-American) buses between major cities in the Northeast, several entrepreneurs have started similar services on the West Coast (with other regions poised to do the same). It was Budget Travel (Dec 2002/Jan 2003) that first drew attention to the more prominent budget buses of New England (Fung Wah, Sunshine Travel) and set off such a land rush that, currently, at least half of the passengers riding on the weekends are not Chinese! In many cases, advance bookings can be made at ivymedia.com (there's a 3 to 10 percent surcharge, but passengers who book with Ivy media receive an e-mail confirmation and are guaranteed a seat). For last-minute travel, simply show up at one of the stops and buy your ticket on the bus (a few also allow bookings over the phone). Several shuttles cover the same routes in the Northeast; if one bus is full, another may be able to take you within the next hour. It's time to do an update of all the current services as of early autumn 2003:
Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area
USAsia Tours San Francisco (415/989-1688) and Los Angeles (626/282-1880). Departures: one per day in each direction; leaves L.A. starting at 1:30 p.m.; leaves Bay Area starting at 8:30 a.m. L.A. stop: Monterey Park (141 N. Atlantic Blvd.). Bay Area stops: San Francisco (Bank of America at 944 Stockton St. and Transbay Terminal at 425 Mission St., 1st St. entrance); Oakland (Chinatown, 388 9th St.); San Jose (Hai Thanh Market, 945 McLaughlin Ave.); Cupertino (Marina Market, 2115 Bandley Dr.). Prices: $40 one way, $70 round trip. Travel time: seven to nine hours. USAsia operates from no fewer than five departure points in the Bay Area (two in San Francisco proper). It also runs casino shuttles between San Francisco and Reno at $25 each way (departures twice a day; same-day return; no one under the age of 21 allowed onboard).
California Shuttle Bus Los Angeles, 626/336-0098. Departures: one per day in each direction; leaves both L.A. and Bay Area starting at 1 p.m. L.A. stops: Fullerton (Radisson, 222 W. Houston Ave.); Cypress (Marriott Courtyard, 5865 Katella Ave.); Long Beach (Holiday Inn, 1133 Atlantic Ave.); Cerritos (Sheraton, 12725 Center Court Dr.); Pomona (Shilo Inn, 3200 Temple Ave.); Torrance (Holiday Inn, 19800 S. Vermont Ave.); L.A. (Wilshire Grand, 930 Wilshire Blvd.); Glendale (Hilton, 100 W. Glenoaks Blvd.); Studio City (Sportsman Lodge, 12825 Ventura Blvd.); Santa Monica (Loews Hotel, 1700 Ocean Ave.). Bay Area stops: San Francisco (Hilton, 333 O'Farrell St.); Santa Clara (Hilton, 4949 Great America Pkwy.); Pleasanton (BART station, 5801 Owens Dr.); San Mateo (Radisson, 4000 S. El Camino Real). Prices: $40 each way. Travel time: about seven hours. Founded in April 2003 by a veteran travel professional whose agency once catered to Japanese tourists, California Shuttle stands out for its user-friendly Web site, numerous convenient hotel stops, and senior discount (10 percent off for people "60 and better").
Phuong Transport Los Angeles, 800/665-1175. Departures: one per day in each direction; leaves L.A. starting at 7 a.m.; leaves Bay Area starting at 6:30 a.m. L.A. stops: Pomona (Hoa Binh Pomona Supermarket, 1093 E. Holt Ave.); Garden Grove/Westminster (13861 Brookhurst St.); San Gabriel (San Gabriel Superstore, 608 E. Valley Blvd.). Bay Area stops: San Francisco (Dong Nam A Video, 535 Eddy St.); Oakland (Pho Hoa Hiep I, 1402 E. 12th St.); San Jose (Grand Century Mall, 1111 Story Rd.). Prices: L.A. to San Jose, $35 each way; L.A. to San Francisco/Oakland, $45 each way. Travel time: seven to nine hours. Phuong's service (like that of the other Los Angeles/San Francisco shuttles) is a disappointment pricewise when you consider that Greyhound charges $69 round trip for a seven-day advance-purchase fare. But Phuong has stops in three Vietnamese neighborhoods; if you're considerably closer to these areas than to central L.A., Phuong may be the better choice, given the general seediness of major interstate bus-depot locations. And, most important, you can book Phuong's service (and that of the other shuttles) at the very last minute, on the day of departure.
Los Angeles and Las Vegas
USAsia Tours Los Angeles, 626/282-1880. Departures: one per day in each direction; leaves L.A. starting at 7:30 a.m.; leaves Las Vegas starting at 2 p.m. L.A. stops: San Gabriel (Shun Fat Supermarket, 1635 S. San Gabriel Blvd.); Monterey Park (141 N. Atlantic Blvd.); Rowland Heights (HK Market, 18401 Colima Rd.). Las Vegas stops: Harrah's (3475 Las Vegas Blvd. S.); Rio (3700 W. Flamingo Rd.); Chinatown Plaza (Spring Mtn. Rd.). Prices: $17.50 one way; $25 round trip weekdays, $30 round trip weekends. Travel time: five to six hours. Partnered with Harrah's, USAsia's service is a best buy among the many gambling junket buses available to Angelenos-Greyhound's lowest is a casino fare of $47 round trip. Moreover, USAsia offers the added convenience of three Vegas drop-off points (whereas Greyhound ditches you in no-man's-land near North Las Vegas). No one under the age of 21 is allowed onboard.
Bravo Travel Los Angeles, 626/282-9888. Departures: one per day in each direction; leaves L.A. starting at 7:15 a.m.; leaves Las Vegas starting at 1:15 p.m. L.A. stops: Chinatown (Bank of America, 942 N. Broadway); San Gabriel (Superstore, 1635 S. San Gabriel Blvd.); Monterey Park (Lincoln Plaza Hotel, 123 S. Lincoln Ave.); Rowland Heights (99 Ranch Market, 1015 Nogales St.). Las Vegas stops: Riviera (2901 Las Vegas Blvd. S.); Chinatown (4255 Spring Mountain Rd.); Rio (3700 W. Flamingo Rd.); Harrah's (3475 Las Vegas Blvd. S.); Terrible's (4100 Paradise Rd.); Tropicana (3801 Las Vegas Blvd S.). Prices: $20 each way weekdays, $25 each way weekends. Travel time: five to six hours. Bravo also provides what Greyhound can't for almost the same price: several stops in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas. No one under the age of 21 is allowed onboard.
New York and Atlanta
Today Travel (formerly Dragon Coach U.S.A.) New York, 917/577-1219. Departures: one per day in each direction, except Friday; leaves New York at 10 p.m.; leaves Atlanta at 8 p.m. New York stop: Chinatown (109 E. Broadway). Atlanta stop: Doraville, NE Atlanta (5150 Buford Hwy.). Prices: $90 one way, $170 round trip. Travel time: at least 14 hours. This may not seem like a bargain when compared with Greyhound's lowest seven-day advance-purchase fare of $109 round trip, but Today Travel claims to get you to Atlanta or New York in about 14 hours. Greyhound's shortest trip is over 18 hours. Today Travel also advertises additional pickup and drop-off points along I-95 and I-85, including Charlotte, North Carolina (subtract $20 each way).
New York and Boston
Fung Wah Bus Transportation New York (212/925-8889 or 718/438-3300) and Boston (617/338-1163 or 617/338-0007), fungwahbus.com. Departures: 17 to 18 per day in each direction; leaves New York or Boston starting at 7 a.m. (and more or less at hourly intervals thereafter). New York stop: Chinatown (139 Canal St.). Boston stop: Chinatown (68 Beach St.). Prices: $10 each way. Travel time: four to five hours. Fung Wah is one of the oldest and most reliable Chinatown shuttles. Some buses have toilets aboard; others make a short rest stop en route.
Coach New England Boston, 800/310-9900. Departures: three to six per day in each direction, more on weekends; leaves both New York and Boston starting at 7 a.m. New York stop: Midtown (31st St. and 8th Ave., near Penn Station). Boston stop: South Station (Summer St. and Atlantic Ave., platform 25). Prices: $25 one way, $40 round trip. Travel time: four to five hours. Coach New England operates with roomy new buses and movies in English running en route. Students benefit from additional departures from Northeastern and Boston Universities. No $10 deals to New York are offered; but some would rather shell out for the extra comfort and storage space. Coach New England also runs day ski trips on winter weekends from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to Loon Mountain and Waterville Valley; $51 round trip, with a lift ticket and food.
Sunshine Travel Boston, 617/695-1989, sunshineboston.com. Departures: 15 per day in each direction; leaves both New York and Boston starting at 7 a.m. (and more or less at hourly intervals thereafter). New York stops: Chinatown (89 Bowery and 139 Canal St.). Boston stops: Chinatown (81 Harrison Ave., 31 Harrison Ave., and 68 Beach St.). Prices: $10 each way. Travel time: four to five hours. In addition to running these shuttles between Boston and New York, Sunshine is a travel agency that offers international packages and bus tours. It also offers gambling junkets to the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut from Boston and New York (departures twice a day; $10 to $12 each way; no one under 21).
Travel Pack Boston, 617/338-8222, travelpackusa.com. Departures: 18 to 20 per day in each direction; leaves both New York and Boston starting at 7 a.m. (and more or less at hourly intervals thereafter). New York stops: Chinatown (97 Bowery and the corner of Forsyth and Division Sts.). Boston stop: Chinatown (42B Harrison Ave.). Prices: $10 each way. Travel time: four to five hours. Like Sunshine, Travel Pack is a full-fledged agency offering tour packages.
New York and Ohio
Dahlia Travel New York, 718/651-1516. Departures: one per day, except Friday; leaves both New York and Cincinnati at 10 p.m., Dayton at 10:30 p.m., and Columbus at 12:30 a.m. New York stop: Chinatown (Holiday Inn Downtown, 138 Lafayette St.). Ohio stops: Cincinnati (Signature Inn, 11385 Chester Rd.); Dayton (Holiday Inn, 2301 Wagoner Ford Rd.); Columbus (Holiday Inn, 175 E. Town St.). Prices: $60 to $70 each way. Travel time: about 12 hours to Columbus. Dahlia's service is on par pricewise with Greyhound (a seven-day advance-purchase fare to Cincinnati is $118 round trip), but the shuttle does not require advance booking and claims to make fewer stops, shaving an hour off the total trip time. Sunday and Monday are the busiest days to leave New York, so if you're planning to rock up and buy a ticket, be sure to get there early.
New York and Philadelphia
Today Travel (formerly Dragon Coach U.S.A.) New York, 212/964-6334. Departures: seven or eight per day in each direction; leaves New York starting at 7:50 a.m.; leaves Philadelphia starting at 6:45 a.m. New York stop: Chinatown (88 E. Broadway). Philadelphia stop: Chinatown (1041 Race St.). Prices: $12 one way; $20 round trip. Travel time: about two hours. On this route, Today Travel beats Greyhound hands down. The latter charges $40 round trip for a seven-day advance-purchase fare. Today Travel also claims to get you to Philly faster.
New Century Travel Philadelphia, 215/627-2666, 2000coach.com. Departures: 6 to 10 per day in each direction; leaves Brooklyn starting at 7 a.m., Chinatown at 8 a.m.; leaves Philadelphia starting at 7 a.m. New York stops: Chinatown (88 E. Broadway); Brooklyn (5994 8th Ave.). Philadelphia stop: Chinatown (52 N. 10th St.). Prices: $10 each way. Travel time: two hours. New Century has been around for about eight years and offers bare-bones service between New York and Philadelphia.
New York and Washington, D.C.
Washington Deluxe New York, 866/287-6932, washny.com. Departures: two per day in each direction, three New York-bound on Sundays; leaves New York starting at 7:10 a.m. Friday, 9:40 a.m. Monday to Thursday, and 10:40 a.m. Sunday; leaves D.C. starting at 8 a.m. Friday, 8:30 a.m. Monday to Thursday and Sunday. New York stops: Brooklyn (corner of Bedford Ave. and Empire Blvd., corner of Bedford and Park Aves., 203 S. Havemayer St.); Manhattan (122 Allen St. and 303 W. 34th St.). D.C. stops: Lafayette Square (1015 15th St. NW); Capitol Hill (441 New Jersey Ave. NW). Prices: $20 one way, $35 round trip. Travel time: four to five hours. Washington Deluxe perks include big, spanking-new buses, plush seats with generous recline, and English-language movies playing en route. It also gets points for its daily mid-morning and late-afternoon bus service each way, and its large number of stops. Anxious travelers who have never used the ethnic shuttles may prefer to get their feet wet with this bus service, as it is primarily an English-speaking one.
Dragon Expressway & Travel (aka Dragon Coach), New York, 212/608-6406, dragonexpressway.com. Departures: three per day in each direction; leaves New York starting at 7:30 a.m.; leaves D.C. starting at 1 a.m. Manhattan stops: Chatham Square (217 Park Row); Midtown (1250 Broadway). D.C. stop: Chinatown (Great Wall Seafood, 627 I St. NW). Prices: $15 one way, $30 round trip. Travel time: five to six hours. The Dragon is fighting back against increased competition by adding more buses at reasonable hours, in addition to its traditional late-night runs. Unlike Washington Deluxe, Dragon will pick up and drop off passengers at the Baltimore Travel Center (just off I-95) by prior arrangement for each leg of the trip.
Today Travel (formerly Dragon Coach U.S.A.), New York, 212/964-6334. Departures: two to five per day in each direction; leaves New York starting at 5 p.m. (8 a.m. Friday to Tuesday); leaves D.C. starting at 2 a.m. New York stop: Chinatown (88 E. Broadway). D.C. stop: Chinatown (610 I St. NW). Prices: $20 one way, $35 round trip. Travel time: four to five hours. Today Travel offers more schedule choices if you travel on the weekends. Like Dragon Expressway, it offers pickups/drop-offs at a Baltimore rest stop on some routes.
New Century Travel Philadelphia, 215/627-2666, 2000coach.com. Departures: two to four per day in each direction; leaves New York starting at 8 a.m. Friday to Tuesday, 5 p.m. Wednesday, and 10:50 a.m. Thursday. Leaves D.C. starting at 2 a.m. New York stop: Chinatown (88 E. Broadway). D.C. stop: Chinatown (513 H St. NW). Prices: $20 one way, $35 round trip. Travel time: four to five hours. Though its bread and butter is still the service between Philly and New York, New Century now offers a few shuttles between New York and D.C.
Eastern Travel New York, 212/868-5724. Departures: two to three per day in each direction; leaves New York starting at 10:30 a.m.; leaves D.C. starting at 1:30 a.m. New York stops: Chinatown (88 E. Broadway); Midtown (Citibank, 34th St. and 7th Ave.). D.C. stop: Chinatown (715 H St. NW). Prices: $20 one way, $35 round trip. Travel time: four to five hours. Check Eastern's schedule carefully for the New York stops-not every bus picks up and drops off at both places. These buses feature toilets, air-conditioning, and entertainment systems (TV/VCR).

Biografia
Nel 1832 si laureò all'Università di Napoli, allievo di Luigi Sementini. Fu medico igienista di fama.

Il 18 aprile 1848 venne eletto deputato liberale dell'Abruzzo Citra al Parlamento delle Province Napoletane. Fu uno dei deputati firmatari della protesta contro Ferdinando II, che, dopo aver concesso la costituzione, aveva ordinato la sospensione del Parlamento appena eletto. Per le sue idee politiche fu vittima di persecuzioni da parte del governo borbonico.

Nel 1860, con l'ingresso in Napoli di Garibaldi, divenne uno fra i 30 decurioni della città. Garibaldi stesso lo nominò professore di Igiene all'Università.
Dall 1861 fu membro, insieme a Salvatore De Renzi della Commissione municipale d'igiene di Napoli e propugnò tutte le iniziative umanitarie per migliorare le condizioni di vita del popolo napoletano in miseria.

A tal fine fondò l'Associazione Filantropica Napoletana, di cui fu anche presidente, che affrontò il problema dell'insalubrità delle industrie e delle abitazioni a Napoli. Si impegnò come scienziato e filantropo a redigere progetti per la costruzione di case salubri, per migliorare le condizioni igieniche della Città, per far varare provvedimenti di bonifica.

Fu Preside della Facoltà medico-chirurgica e dal 1879 al 1881 fu Rettore dell'Università di Napoli.

Tra le sue pubblicazioni sono da citare i trattati "Igiene pubblica a Napoli" (1861-1862), "Italia igienica" (1877) e "Elementi di igiene" (1883-88).

Il comune di Gessopalena gli ha intitolato il piazzale maggiore del paese, precedentemente Piazza Roma.

What to do about the new Plant Health Order
The new Plant Health Order came into effect in England on 24 February – and for some businesses it means paperwork they could do without. If you're a Passfield user, there's an easy way to manage this new regulation. Before we explain how, let's take a quick look at what this new Order actually is:
What's the new Plant Order all about?
If you bring certain plants into England, you now need to notify an Inspector within four days of their arrival. We've listed the plants below – for all of them, they must be intended for planting, been grown or suspected to have been grown in another member State, or in Switzerland.
Castanea Mill.
Fraxinus L.
Pinus L.
Platanus L.
Prunus L.
Quercus L.
Ulmus L.
You'll need to provide the intended date of their arrival and destination – and if they're already in England you'll need to provide the date they first arrived and their current location. You'll also need to provide:
• Their genus and species
• The supplier's identification number
• The country from which they've been, or are to be, consigned.
How Passfield can help
Fortunately, Passfield makes managing this new Order very straightforward. Not only can you include all of the required information, but you can generate a specific report and set an alert that will notify you when you need to inform the Inspector.
A step by step guide:
1. Set up a new stock descriptor with your chosen name (e.g. PHO tracked) and give it a single list value of 'Yes'.
2. Using a bulk apply tool set 'Yes' values against the required plant variety (e.g. Castanea sativa) within Passfield.
3. Create a system report which identifies batch stock of 'PHO tracked' varieties, showing all the necessary legislative information.
4. Create an alert which notifies you of imminent and/or recent arrivals of PHO tracked batches and prompts you to run your report.
If you need support setting this up, contact our Help Desk and we'll be happy to help. Call 01404 514 4000 for more information.

Russia claims progress in eastern Ukraine; Kyiv craves tanks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged countries to send more weapons to Ukraine without delay Friday. (Source: US POOL/CNN)
Published: Jan. 20, 2023 at 6:23 AM PST|Updated: Jan. 20, 2023 at 4:38 PM PST
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia claimed Friday to have captured a village in eastern Ukraine as part of its intense, monthslong push toward the city of Bakhmut, while Ukraine's allies failed to resolve a dispute about whether to send advanced battle tanks that the country avidly desires.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said the village of Klishchiivka, which is located nine kilometers (five miles) south of Bakhmut, had been "liberated."
The claim couldn't be independently verified, and Ukrainian officials made no immediate comment on the claim.
Taking Klishchiivka would be only a minor breakthrough, but the Kremlin is hungry for good news from the battlefield after months of setbacks.

Bakhmut, on the other hand, would be a bigger prize. It could allow Russia to disrupt Ukrainian supply lines in the east and threaten other Ukrainian-held cities in the surrounding Donestk region.
However, U.S. officials have begun to nudge the Ukrainians to shift focus away from Bakhmut and focus on preparation for an offensive in the south, according to an official familiar with the views of President Joe Biden's administration.
The official said administration officials have conveyed that they believe there is a high potential for the Russians to eventually push Ukrainian forces out of Bakhmut amid some of the war's most intense fighting to date. Administration officials believe that significant forces will be needed for an expected Ukrainian offensive in the south, but many of those forces are currently embroiled in Bakhmut.

The war has been largely static during the winter months, according to military analysts, except for some hot spots like Bakhmut and Soledar, a nearby salt mining town.
The Kremlin's forces have kept up their long-distance shelling of Ukrainian targets, hitting key infrastructure and civilian areas, while probing Ukrainian defenses in the east.
The Ukrainian presidential office said at least five civilians were killed between Thursday and Friday mornings, and six others were wounded as Russian forces shelled seven provinces in the country's south and east.
Ukrainian troops repelled Russian attacks near a number of settlements in Donetsk and the neighboring Luhansk region, the General Staff of the Ukraine's armed forces said.
The two provinces together make up the Donbas, an industrial heartland that borders Russia where pro-Moscow separatists have fought for almost nine years.
John Lough, an associate fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at the Chatham House think tank in London, said the Ukraine battlefield situation is "inconclusive," with a renewed Russian push expected in the spring.
The war is "quite delicately poised," he told The Associated Press.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pleaded with Western allies to send tanks that would help punch through Russian lines. Defense leaders from nearly 50 countries discussed that possibility at a meeting in Germany on Friday, but no decision was made, according to Poland's defense minister.
Marina Miron, of the Defense Studies Department at King's College London, said tanks are useful, but a number of factors need to be taken into account, including how many will be sent and when, what condition they are in, and how Ukrainian crews will be trained and keep the vehicles supplied.
Giving the tanks would be "more of a political gesture" than something that will change the complexion of the war, Miron told the AP.
Ukraine needs at least 300 tanks to keep Russia from advancing in the Donbas and Zaporizhzhia province, as well as for a possible counteroffensive in the country's southeast, analysts say. Such a number looks unlikely, for now.
"The war of resources has begun," Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov told the AP. "It is becoming apparent that Ukraine's successes in the war with Russia will depend directly on the willingness and readiness of Western countries to supply not only defensive weapons to Kyiv, but also powerful offensive weapons, including modern tanks and planes."

The first book in a breathtaking new romantic suspense series that will appeal to fans of New York Times bestsellers Maya Banks, Lisa Gardner, and Lisa Jackson.
Under siege. That's how Ryker Jones feels. The Lost Bastards Investigative Agency he opened up with his blood brothers has lost a client in a brutal way. The past he can't outrun is resurfacing, threatening to drag him down in the undertow. And the beautiful woman he's been trying to keep at arm's length is in danger...and he'll destroy anything and anyone to keep her safe.
Paralegal Zara Remington is in over her head. She's making risky moves at work by day and indulging in an affair with a darkly dangerous PI by night. There's a lot Ryker isn't telling her and the more she uncovers, the less she wants to know. But when all hell breaks loose, Ryker may be the only one to save her. If his past doesn't catch up to them first...

Heat from his body washed over her, but she lifted her head to meet his gaze. "We don't have a relationship."
He smiled then, and the curve of his lips held more determination than amusement. "I'm not letting you run, and I'm certainly not letting you hide, baby. Although neither of us has been in this for the long haul, I'm staying in Wyoming for the moment. The first thing that's going to happen is I'm going to figure out who dared put a hand on you and make sure it doesn't happen again."
For the first time, she saw a side of him that gave her true pause. In the long haul, he'd be unbearably possessive. Why did that give her an intriguing sense of safety? "Knock it off," she snapped in his face. "Get out of my business."
That quickly, she found her back against the door and her front pinned by hard male. His hands planted on either side of her neck, his thumbs at her jaw, forcing her to look at him. "Something you need to understand and pretty damn quick is that your business is my business right now." His thumb swept up and over the offensive bruise on her face.
"Step back." Her voice trembled.
He ignored the very calm order. "No. You don't want to tell me who did this? Fine. I'll find out on my own, and I'll have the name by the time I pick you up for supper. What you don't want to do is deal with him or his case until I have that name. Kicking him in the balls might've just pissed him off more, and now you've let a bully stew on it for a while, which might be dangerous for you. Got it?"
"You have no right to interfere," she whispered.
"Baby, I've been fuckin' you for months. That gives me every right." Anger glowed dark in his eyes.
"We're done. Get out."
His eyes softened. "You shouldn't make statements you can't back up."
She shoved against his ripped abs.
He didn't move a millimeter.
And then he did.
His head dipped, and his mouth found her neck and wandered up to her ear. His teeth scraped, and then his tongue licked the slight wound.
Of its own volition, her body did a full tremble.
He leaned back. "That."
Her mind fuzzed.
His mouth slammed down on hers. She knew his kiss—often dreamed about it. Not soft and sweet . . . not even lustful. It was dangerous. From day one, she'd tasted danger on his tongue, and it burned her hotter than she'd ever been.
Never had she dated a bad boy, but after living her desired routine-driven life for years, she'd craved adventure, and he filled that need. He drew out a wildness she hadn't realized she possessed.
He held her flush against the door, kissing her hard, sending a craving along her nerves that almost hurt. His tongue went to work, his left hand keeping her jaw open for him. His right hand found her hip and dragged her against the obvious bulge in his jeans. By the time he released her, she'd stopped thinking completely.
"What time are you finished today?" he asked, his breath heating her face.
"Fi-five," she stuttered.
He leaned back and gently put her to the side. "Stay in the office until I come for you at five, Zara." He ran his thumb across her bottom lip. "Cross me on this, baby, and I ain't gonna be gentle." He had already shut the door behind himself before she could take a whole breath.
She blinked several times, her fingers going to her still-tingling mouth. What had just happened?

*GIVEAWAY*


Hi there, a new guy in the forum looking forward a good competition =) I hope to have enough time to get some software ready for the contest.
Special thanks to NightFox for reporting the issues I found while trying to register.
Wow, this is good news! The homebrew scene lives!
I'll be participating with a Snake-like game. I got inspired by a flash game somewhere. It'll be like a snake game, but with lots of gamemodes with crazy variations... I'll post a thread later when I have something releasable. And oh, a screenshot! (http://i.imgur.com/pbohe.png).
I'm much too busy to enter this year, next year for sure!
Suppose your platform can't actually display the logo or link practically ?
Either it simply can't - say Microvision - or it would be horribly complicated - say Atari 2600 ?
Well, Dr.neo would have final say on what's acceptable, but I'd guess that if you absolutely can't (like it would be a BIG pain on the A2600), I'd say to make a text display with the info... the contest name and the NeoFlash web url. The idea is that people running it would know it was part of a contest and where to look for more info on said contest.
I have a couple questions about the contest.
It says it is for "retro platforms." Does that include Wii Hombrew games?
" You must put the NEO Retro Compo badge and NEO website link to your program and show it when start to run."
The badge doesn't include the link though, so does that mean I could just add "neoflash.com" to the same screen that shows the badge?
Can't answer that one... try PMing Dr.neo.
I would do that or show it as text there or in a different screen. But yes, it looks like he forgot the url in the "official" image... it normally has it.
Yo, I hope the forum stays stable until 20th :p?
Nice to see some action in the homebrew scene... it's kinda quiet due to the "kindof-open" fancy mobile plattforms (iOS/Android).
a. yes wii homebrew is aceptable.
b. you need put the badge to your screen, and add one "www.neoflash.com" to this screen together or on other page, even just show one time is ok still.
In total I see 7 posts between apps and games.. does everyone submit their game right at the deadline? I was expecting more for some reason.
Yes most people leave their entry until the last minute but there are less prizes this year than any other year and there aren't as many people working on GBA/DS/PSP/Wii homebrew as there were a few years ago, so I wouldn't expect a huge amount of entries.
Maybe a little more time plus a little more publicity is needed. Somehow not everyone knows about Neoflash even though you guys have made great flash carts for AGES.
I think most people will wait and enter their project at the last day (like me).
I am still working hard on my entry, but not much time left! So, I'll have to cut some features and enter what I finished by August 20.
Even if somebody didn't start coding anything yet, there's still a few days remaining! You can make something cool!
I know a title screen is easy. What I was saying was a big pain is trying to make a decent 2600 display out of the official screen badge for the contest. Someone would need to make a much simplified version.
Everyone submits right near the deadline, and a few right after if the board has troubles. Dr.neo makes judgment calls on those after the deadline. Like a bunch of others, I've been rushing to get something ready, and for some weird reason, it ALWAYS take close to the deadline to submit, regardless of when you start.
I intentionally made it 48x96 because most title screen kernels will double the width of the pixels.
All the contestants making 2600 games please use this! Er, unless someone has already made a better one.. then cough it up!
I will enter the compo too, and will wait the deadline to post my entry..
Holidays with no real "internet connection" are hard (my phone 3g network is ****py here), not much free time too.
Not just N64. We could also see an Atari 2600 game (http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php/topic,7460.0.html)!
Nice job converting the badge to 2600! Now we should see tons of 2600 entries as that was they only thing holding people back.
Maybe after the deadline passes, some volunteers can post reviews for fun.
Devs love having their games reviewed, and it would give us something to do while we wait for the results.
I didn't enter or review last year because I was too busy, but this year I can do both again. Prizes don't mean that much to me, so I don't care if there's a prize for reviewing.
Where be the proper place to post reviews?
Oh, and now that I know about the Neoflash Retro Coding Compo the AtariAge crowd knows about it too. I'm sure next year will have more 2600 entries. Not only that, more exposure for Neoflash and their awesome products!
Once the contest closes this evening, Dr.neo generally makes a new area for posting reviews. He also usually collects up the latest valid entries into a single archive for downloading to make it easier for reviewers to get all the apps/games.
Nifty! Maybe some 5200 and 7800 entries as well!
Atari seems funny to do. What kind of language and what compiler are your using ?
BatariBASIC BASIC compiler for the 2600.
Hey! Bring back the download link for MegaFamilyBros!
There's not a C compiler or anything similar?
i only wish we had seen a virtual boy homebrew or two.
Judging Apps against Game wouldn't make much sense, imho. It's possible to judge whether a game X is more fun than a game Y regardless of technology barriers, and equally to judge whether X is doing the most of its own platform compared to Y (rather than "X is nicer than Y ... oh, wait, Y is an Atari 2600).

As a tribute to heroes this upcoming Memorial Day, Telmate Manager and Boise, Idaho native Tim Haus gave The Boys & Girls Club of Western Treasure Valley a glimpse of what true heroes are with his Hero Awareness class on May 20, 2015.
During his one-hour presentation, Haus got the kids to think about who their heroes are and why those individuals represent heroes to them. By showing the kids images of both male and female superheroes, and having them share various interpretations of hero (or heroine) qualities, Haus was able to get the kids to examine their own hero definitions, state who their heroes are, and why. Not surprisingly, most of them chose a family member. "I feel they got good understanding of why someone can be a hero and I think they felt empowered to be heroes for their families and friends," observed Haus. In the end, the class left with a redefined sense of what it means to be heroic.
Haus is part of a growing number of Telmate employees that selflessly volunteer their time each month to teach or train a dedicated group of B&G participants as part of the "Telmate Cares" community outreach program. Each month, two volunteers like Haus lead similar classes as part of a program with topics like: Coding 101; Job Interview Basics; Information Technology 101, and Developing a Professional Brand.

Pain is an epidemic in our country, and the failed efforts towards finding pain relief for people in Maryland have resulted in a public health crisis in the state and across the country.
Over 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, with pain affecting more Americans than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined. The opioid crisis has turned people off traditional pain medications. Now, people are looking to alternative pain relief in Maryland, and medical marijuana is moving to the top of people's lists.
Pain is a subjective sensation. Humans learn to be able to describe pain through experiences with injury throughout their lives. Pain is also an emotional experience since pain is an unpleasant sensory feeling and it's impossible to disconnect physical pain with emotional anguish.
Pain management describes the official processes that medical practitioners take to relieve or eliminate the unpleasant sensations of pain. In Maryland, it's common for people to be prescribed analgesics for minor or acute pain while more serious and chronic pain, strong narcotics are the prescriptions all too often written.
The 2000s have been characterized by an explosion of opioid use that is seriously affecting people's lives. Pharmaceutical companies misled doctors about the addictive properties of opioids, which led to overprescribing, and for many, dependency and abuse.
Every day, 90 Americans die by overdosing on opioids, including prescription pills, heroin and synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
The nation needs an alternative pain relief methods, like medical marijuana. MyCannX is the connector between those needing pain management and finding alternative pain relief in Maryland through medical cannabis.
Medical marijuana has been revolutionizing pain management due to the way that the endocannabinoid system has been viewed as the key to relieving pain, both emotionally and physically.
Pain is the body's response to inflammation, which is often the root cause of many pain conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pain, injuries and other chronic pain conditions. We feel pain as our body signals to our brain that it needs to protect itself and thus, signals are sent to our brain, and that's why we feel pain. Adding cannabis to the body's already existing endocannabinoid system will help the brain receive cannabidiol (CBD) which works to interrupt the pain signals to the brain, bringing alternative pain relief through this natural analgesic.
While current laws in most states allow the discretion of the prescribing doctor to treat pain symptoms with medical marijuana if it is deemed a benefit, alternative pain relief through medical marijuana can be found in Maryland for chronic or debilitating diseases or medical conditions that produce severe or chronic pain.
A reminder that pain is understood to be a subjective sensation, so it's up to you and your medical marijuana prescribing doctor to have a thorough and open dialogue about the sensations you're experiencing.
Are You Ready to Explore Medical Marijuana for Pain?
MyCannX is dedicated to being your resource and your connector for your medical needs, medical cannabis doctors, and your local dispensary. We will help you find alternative pain relief in Maryland. It all starts with that one step of finding more information about how medical marijuana can be your solution to effective pain management and alternative pain relief.
Connect with MyCannX to get your cannabis card and begin your journey towards pain relief with medical marijuana in the state of Maryland.

Get an unlocked Google Pixel 2 for $529.99
Priced at $650 elsewhere, Google's flagship offers one of the best cameras on any phone. Plus: I've already scored you a deal on the DJI Mavic Air!
February 15, 2018 4:11 AM PST
CNET's Cheapskate scours the web for great deals on PCs, phones, gadgets and much more. Questions about the Cheapskate blog? Find the answers on our FAQ page. Find more great buys on the CNET Deals page and follow the Cheapskate on Facebook and Twitter!
Friends, you've got one more day to enter for your chance to win a Google Pixel 2 XL and one year of US Mobile service.
In the meantime, here's your chance to score an unusually good deal on the Pixel's smaller sibling: Today only, and while supplies last, Woot has the certified refurbished Google Pixel 2 (64GB) for $529.99, plus $5 for shipping. Need more storage? Choose the 128GB model for $50 more. (At this writing, only the black and white versions are available with 128GB.)
The 5-inch Pixel XL is unlocked for Verizon and GSM carriers. Shouldn't it work with Sprint and its MVNOs as well? I'm seeing some conflicting data on that. At least one online resource I checked indicated yes, but then why does the product listing specifically not mention Sprint? Someone more knowledgeable than I can reveal the answer, hopefully.
Although it's a refurb, it's backed by a full one-year Google warranty. Whether or not that also means "new battery" as with Apple refurbs, I'm not sure. Update: A reader just alerted me that Woot now lists the warranty as 90 days. Sure enough, Woot posted the following comment: "Hmmmm. We're checking on it with our vendor. We're changing it to 90-day for now to be safe until we hear back. If it's not one-year, we will contact everyone that purchased."
The phone for shutterbugs
Here's what you need to know about the Pixel 2, at least according to yours truly: It doesn't support wireless charging, doesn't have a headphone jack and, thankfully, doesn't have the screen burn-in issues associated with the larger XL model.
What the Pixel 2 does have, according to CNET's Pixel 2 review, is a world-class camera. If you're one of those snap-happy folks, this is definitely the phone for you.
Other noteworthy specs include stereo speakers, free unlimited cloud storage for photos and a Google Assistant you can launch by squeezing the phone(!).
You'll also be first in line for Android updates, this being a Google-branded phone and all. Needless to say, it's as "pure Android" as pure-Android models get.
As you know, I tend to steer clear of flagship phones, simply because I don't think they're worth the premium. But some folks crave the latest and greatest, in which case you might as well get the best deal you can. This is a full $120 off the price of a new Pixel 2, bringing it closer to the cost of many a midrange phone.
Oh, but what happens if you win the contest? Simple: Move up to the 2 XL and sell the 2.
Sarah Tew/CNET
Bonus deal: Speaking of premium products that are hard to justify but you just want anyway, dang it, DJI's new Mavic Air is the hot drone right now. It's also at splurge fund-busting $799.
Allow me to soften that blow just a smidge: For a limited time, Wellbots has the DJI Mavic Air for $749 shipped when you apply promo code RICKAIR50 at checkout. (That code will also knock $50 off the DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo, bringing it down to $949.)
Will there be better deals down the road? Almost certainly, as evidenced by recent drops on the DJI Spark. But if you just want the Air now, some savings is better than no savings.
Big four US carriers face off over 5G: We compare their peak speeds: We tested Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile's early 5G network speeds two ways.

frankly my dear...: Comfort food.
You probably all know by now how much i dislike winter & i'm sorry but i will be whingeing about the cold weather until summer. I am a summer girl. The one thing i do not mind about this dull time of the year is the excuse to indulge in some delicious comfort food. It warms the soul & i love my food!
So around here we've been enjoying some yummy, yummy comforting stuff lately. Lots of soups, roast chicken, homemade pasta, banana bread, creamed rice in the slow cooker, breads & a divine lemon meringue pie.
100g digestive biscuits - crushed.
Method: Mix butter & biscuit crumbs together & press into the base of a small pie tin. Chill in fridge for 30 mins.
Method: Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar & cornflour until they are pale & smooth. Put lemon juice & zest in a saucepan with 200ml water & bring to the boil. Pour it over the egg mixture, beating constantly until the mixture has dissolved in the water. Pour the lemon mixture into the pan & return to a gentle heat. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. It's ready when the spoon leaves a visible 'wake' as you stir. Fold in the butter & pour mixture on the crumb base.
Method: Beat the egg whites until they just start to set & add caster sugar, one third at a time, until mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread over lemon mixture & bake pie for about 20 - 30 mins. The meringue should be slightly browned on top. Serve cooled.
Nothing like good old fashioned home cooked food to warm the soul & fill the belly!


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The men who designed, produced, and edited content for a video critical of Missouri gubernatorial candidate Eric Greitens' time as a Navy SEAL have come forward to the Missouri Times. The makers of "Eric Greitens: The Heart and the Myth," are a group of current and former Navy SEALs who have served with him, commanded him, or are currently serving in the SEALs.
The group of 16 current and former SEALs spoke to the Missouri Times and shared how the video was made, their motivations behind the video, and their feelings on SEALs seeking notoriety from their service.
Greitens was quick to denounce the video, which has been viewed over 20,000 times, inferring to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that it was produced by the John Brunner campaign with whom the Greitens camp has been sparring for several months.
The gubernatorial candidate, who has raised the most money of any of the Republican candidates, responded with a video of his own touting endorsements of former members of the military that cited his ability in the field and as a leader while also refuting select points from the "The Heart and the Myth," video with citations of his own record.
The original video does not have a disclaimer tag on it, and when asked if it was meant to help another candidate in the race, the group was indignant.
The group went on to detail claiming that the video was made to be shared exclusively by the Navy SEAL community and was made out of what they called a frustration that stemmed from the post-Bin Laden-raid rash of publicity that many former SEALs, including Greitens, have sought. However, someone in the group sought a wider audience and posted the video online.
When the video was posted to YouTube, one member of the group was angry that some in the media did not believe that SEALs could have created the video. But, in fact, the video was created by a former SEAL whose current occupation includes video editing.
The group said they also took issue with Greitens having written four books touting his service as a Navy SEAL, but never actually serving on a Navy SEAL platoon. Greitens was deployed four times to various theatres of operation around the globe, but with a Marine Unit – not a SEAL Team – a distinction SEALs do not take lightly.
Greitens' former commander said that Greitens did apply to be an assistant commander under him but wasn't chosen. It was at that point he looked for other opportunities outside of the SEALs, ultimately left to become a White House fellow.
At the time Greitens was trained to be a SEAL, there were more SEALs than positions on missions to serve on. The group contends that Greitens served two years of training before joining SEAL Team One and served on a Special Boat Unit after that.
In response to the allegations against him, Greitens referenced that he made enemies in the SEAL community by telling his superiors about multiple SEALs abusing drugs while deployed in Thailand. When asked about that, each member stated they were not involved in that operation.
While Greitens' allegations of drug abuse within a SEAL unit were accurate and prosecutions resulted, the war crimes allegations, which were made after the drug scandal in a separate instance and were also considered by some to be an inappropriate bypass of the chain of command, were never proven.
One Navy SEAL, who said he has served for over 20 years and has even had his name on a flyer in Iraq calling for his death, called Greitens' claims about his military record so disingenuous they bordered on offensive.
While the SEALs were critical of his portrayal of his time in service, they were quick to credit Greitens for his work as the head of the nonprofit group The Mission Continues, which provides mental and social rehabilitative help to veterans.
Due to their desire not to seek fame or notoriety, as well as the fact that their service has put themselves and their families in danger, the SEALS could not have their names or ranks printed, but did offer to meet in person, on the record with Greitens in the Missouri Times' offices in Jefferson City, if Greitens was willing to meet with them.
What a joke. Only the dishonest press would give dishonest people a second shot at pushing demonstrably dishonest information," he said. "These politically motivated attacks from this anonymous group are horribly false, incorrect, and flat out cowardly. My military service and record speaks for itself – I'm proud of every day that I served. And the public support of my fellow SEALs and service members says all that needs saying.
The Brunner campaign, who had been fingered for the video, responded to the exoneration of their campaign by the group.

Lesson For Silicon Valley: 'You Don't Have To Scale Or Grow Big'
Andrew Cave Contributor
Jason Fried has made a name for himself challenging the way Silicon Valley works and he is not about to stop now.
The 42-year-old chief executive of Basecamp, a Chicago web application firm part-owned by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, is a strong advocate of worker rights and leadership best practices.
He helped launch the "Work Can Wait" campaign and has authored two books.
His Ted Talk won 4.5 million views and he is known for making Basecamp into a "calm company" where employees are encouraged to work no more than 40 hours a week, get weekends off and only work late nights during an emergency.
Start-Ups Don't Have To Scale Fast
However, Fried also feels that something is fundamentally wrong with the way that Silicon Valley teaches its executives how to start, grow and sell companies.
"People coming out of Stanford think there's just one way, which is to scale fast, grow quickly and get big," he told me in a recent interview.
"I meet lots of entrepreneurs and I often ask them why they made a certain decision or went in a certain direction. That question stumps so many people and it's such a fundamental question.
"I ask why they took the venture capital money and they reply that they want to grow. So I ask why they want to grow and they say they want to have a big impact.
"I think you can have a big impact in other ways but people don't think it's true. They just do what they think they're supposed to do."
Once You Take Money, It's Not Your Business
Formed in 1999 and owned wholly by Fried and chief technology officer David Heinemeier-Hansson and Bezos, who took a minority stake in 2006, Basecamp is profitable and self-funded with no reliance on venture capital or private equity.
"The thing is: once you take money, you're actually not running your own business anymore. You're running someone else's business," says Fried.
"You're running a business on behalf of investors who want a specific outcome which is no longer in your control.
"It's now in their control and if you take money, you're expected to spend that money. And when you spend it and you're not profitable, by the time you're done spending it, you usually go back for more because the whole model says you should spend it all.
"Once you've done that a few times, you no longer have any say in your business. Your business is either going to be huge and return a bunch if money to investors or its going to go out of business because they're going to stop funding you and you've been learning how to spend money, not make money.
"A lot of entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs because they don't want to work for someone else. They have an idea and they want to do things their own way but the moment someone else is funding you, it's not your way. It's their way."
IPO Is Not The Only Way
As for Basecamp, Fried claims he would quit if the company ever conducted an IPO and has no interested in running a public company or being part of one.
He says he wants to keep the company private, carry on running it the way he and the other two owners want, enjoy every day and run a profitable, sound, fundamentally-good business - something he feels most silicon valley companies don't seem to be able to figure out very well.
"I find it to be perverse. I understand why the game is played that way but I still don't like the game," he says.
"It doesn't feel right to me. I've seen a lot of companies raise a lot of money and lose their way. Companies that raise a bunch of money are forced to grow at all costs. You don't have to go big or bust."

Developing countries face up to synthetic biology challenges
Most synthetic biology research is done in wealthy countries Flickr/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
As commercial synthetic biology production gathers speed, there are growing calls for greater regulation, reports Yojana Sharma.
Debate about the governance of the emerging field of synthetic biology is likely to see disagreements among developing countries at a meeting of the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) in Montreal, Canada, next week (30 April–5 May).
While some want tighter regulation and are concerned that commercial products could threaten the livelihoods of farmers cultivating natural versions of these products, others are happy to press ahead with what could become a major new industry.
The meeting will draft a decision on whether to include synthetic biology under 'new and emerging issues', which the CBD Conference of the Parties (COP) will negotiate in Hyderabad, India in October, and which may include a moratorium on research.
"We expect that the negotiations that were at deadlock in Nagoya in 2010 will further advance, with inputs on the latest developments in synthetic biology," says Elenita Dano, Philippines programme officer for the Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration (ETC Group).
Synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature, and its proponents are starting to develop commercial products. It holds the promise of a wide range of applications in areas such as new and improved diagnostics; new drugs and vaccines; biosensors; and bioremediation tools to process contaminants.
But international regulations have been lagging far behind scientific advances, which include the announcement of the first artificial organism in 2010.
Many of the potential benefits, such as the cheaper production of medicines, could be particularly useful in developing countries. For example, OneWorld Health, which runs a non-profit drug development programme in the United States, is scaling up production of a cheap synthetic version of the frontlineanti-malarial drug, artemisinin.
"We will be ready to start producing a synthetic artemisinin by the second half of this year," says Tue Nguyen, vice-president of research and pre-clinical development at OneWorld Health, adding that roughly ten tonnes of the drug could be produced in 2012, rising to 60 tonnes by 2013.
"We are aiming to make about 30–50 per cent of [the] world supply with this method," says Nguyen. That would mean around 150 tonnes a year.
Some experts worry about how synthetic biology organisms might affect rich biodiversity in developing countries

Vigilance is called for
But there are two big concerns about synthetic biology products; their potential to disrupt environments and biodiversity, and the threat they pose to existing industries in the developing world, such as the farming of Artemisia annua, from which artemisinin is currently produced, in China, East Africa and Vietnam.
The first concern stems from a lack of capacity in developing countries to cope with any unintended consequences, says Joyce Thomas Peters, delegate to the CBD from Grenada, in the Caribbean.
"Synthetic biology research can only be done by countries that have the science capacity — other countries have no idea how to assess it, and that is why we are raising the issue in international bodies like CBD," she says.
Thomas Peters, a former SBSTTA working group chair, adds: "At the very least we want regulation by the CBD, but a moratorium on the release of synthetic organisms would also be good".
And David Rejeski, director of the science and technology innovation programme at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars in Washington DC, United States, says: "Research on environmental and ethical issues can be shared across nations. In other emerging technologies, such asnanotechnology, it was the basis of a lot of dialogue."
The centre has been pushing for an inventory of companies and organisations involved in synthetic biology, how near products are to entering the market, and details of any risks they might pose to the environment and human health.
"We need this at an international level," Rejeski says. "Some products are already appearing, and although they are not yet at an industrial level there is a need for vigilance. There needs to be money available for risk assessments."
Are crops under threat?
Then there are the fears that artificially created products could compete with crops farmed in developing countries.
For example, more than 7,500 Kenyan farmers cultivate the artemisinin tree, A. annua, according to the ETC Group. Cheaper, synthetic versions of the drug could put their livelihoods at risk, critics say.
Besides artemisinin, there are commercial investigations into synthetic versions of rubber, vanilla, saffron and the sweetener stevia — all of which are currently produced from natural products grown in East Asia, Latin America and South-East Asia.
Rubber plantations might also face competition from synthetic versions of rubber

Vanilla produced using a synthetic biology process using yeast "is moving from the laboratory to a test facility", says Paul Verbraeken, investor relations manager at Evolva, the Swiss company carrying out the work.
"If things go to plan it could be available sometime next year or in 2014." He also predicts synthetic stevia could be on the market by 2015.
But he argues that synthetically produced vanilla will not displace existing production — it will be an additional source. "Our product will not replace the natural product, for which there will always be demand. Top chefs will always want it."
Significant research is also underway into synthetic solutions for the next generation of biofuels. Such innovations include photosynthetic algae, which can continuously secrete oil through their cell walls, and which can be harvested for fuel.
"There is a lot of production of synthetic algae with investment by Japanese and Korean companies in the coastal areas of the Philippines and no one knows what the environmental risks may be," says Dano.
Concerns have also been raised about synthetic organisms used in industrial-sized vats, on the basis that they could require large amounts of biomass to power them, which would compete with cash crops for land.
But here, the interests of developing countries diverge. Some countries, such as Brazil, may benefit from selling biomass for synthetic organism production, and could also host production factories.
Because the implications go beyond environmental concerns, agriculture and trade ministries have also been calling for more information on, and assessment of, the underlying science.
This issue was evident at COP 10, the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity, which included a ministerial summit at Nagoya, in Japan, in 2010.
At Nagoya, the Philippine government pushed for a resolution to prevent any release of synthetic life, cell or genome into the environment. "The Philippines says it may not be against synthetic biology, but wants to exercise the principle of precaution, because there are potential impacts on biodiversity," says Dano, from the ETC Group.
The Philippines was backed at Nagoya by a number of African countries, including Cameroon, Kenya, Liberia and South Africa. In Latin America, Bolivia and the Dominican Republic also supported the precautionary approach.
But Argentina, Brazil and some European Union countries opposed a moratorium on field release, agreeing only to convene an expert group on synthetic biology. Yet, insiders say, little has been done since then, and some critics worry that if the upcoming COP meeting does not address the issue it may go unresolved.

In particular, the position of Argentina and Brazil has made it difficult for developing countries to build consensus. "Brazil has jumped on the synthetic biology bandwagon. It sees it as a future source of sustainable products," says Eric Hoffman, from Friends of the Earth in the United States.
Governance: on the road to Rio
Several countries are now keen that next week's SBSTTA meeting should not be another missed opportunity.
The ETC Group, Friends of the Earth and others, under the umbrella International Civil Society Working Group on Synthetic Biology have produced a submission stating that "SBSTTA must not defer its consideration of synthetic biology as a new and emerging issue requiring governance". [1]
They point out that no intergovernmental body is currently addressing the potential disruptive impacts of synthetic biology on developing economies, particularly those that depend on agricultural exports.
CBD officials say the issues will be covered.
"Synthetic biology is definitely not going to be pushed aside," says Robert Höft, environmental affairs officer at CBD. "The chances are something will be done and my expectation is some form of expert process to look at the various types of synthetic biology and the potential impacts on biodiversity, as well as the social issues."
Some have said they will make sure the topic is raised at the forthcomingRio+20 meeting in Brazil in June. "Rio+20 is about the green economy and these issues are part of that," says Grenada's Thomas Peters.
"Because Rio was the place where the early biodiversity conventions came from, it is the appropriate place to go back to," she adds.
"Science has overtaken the current convention. You have to reshape the conventions or the mechanisms to keep up with changes that are taking place. The existing convention does not cater for organisms created from scratch."

South Park Creators Endorse Gary Johnson & Call Trump + Hillary "Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich"
thinkaboutnow
South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are out promoting season 20. In an interview with the Daily Beast, they made it clear that this season would have some political themes, and that personally, neither of them like the mainstream candidates.
(RA) Last season, they turned one of their characters, Mr. Garrison, into a Trump-like persona. Ironically, they were hesitant to take on Trump because they thought he'd be out of the race in short order. "We thought we'd better do this before it goes away," Parker said.
The episode featuring Mr. Garrison as Trump ended pretty epically and might be hard to come back from. Mr. Garrison ran for president promising to banish "dirty Canadians," but ended up getting raped in the final episode. They "didn't really want to service Trump as a character," Parker said.
As for Hillary Clinton, their last episode about her was in 2007 and had to do with a "Snuke." Google it — I'd blush to explain what that is. The creators said they're going to focus more on Trump. "In this election, Garrison is our character."
When asked their actual thoughts on the candidates, Parker called Trump and Clinton "the giant douche and the turd sandwich."
He said if Gary Johnson had "any chance in hell" of winning, he'd likely support him. They both said, "we believe in liberty."

How does electronegativity affect polarity?
Does more electronegative mean more polar?
What determines polarity?
What is the importance of polarity?
Atoms that are high in EN tend to take electrons and atoms low in EN tend to give up electrons. So, higher electronegativity helps atoms take more control over shared electrons creating partial negative regions and partial positive regions which result in dipoles that cause polarity.
Is electronegativity the same as polarity?
The key difference between electronegativity and polarity is that electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons in a bond towards it, whereas polarity means the separation of the charges. Polarity arises due to the differences in electronegativity.
How does electronegativity predict polarity?
You'll need to take the difference between the electronegativity value of the two atom. Their bond polarity is determined according to the range it falls in: Nonpolar covalent: Electronegativity difference < 0.5. Polar covalent: Electronegativity difference is 0.5 – 1.6.
The larger the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, the more polar the bond.
What affects polarity?
The polarity of bonds is caused due to the interaction of the bonds between molecules and atoms with different electronegativities. Consider an electromotive force (EMF) or an electric potential, acting between two points. Here, the points or poles have a greater number of electrons than the other.
How do you explain polarity?
By Serm Murmson. In chemistry, polarity refers to the way in which atoms bond with each other. When atoms come together in chemical bonding, they share electrons. A polar molecule arises when one of the atoms exerts a stronger attractive force on the electrons in the bond.
The polarity of a bond is determined by a periodic concept called electronegativity. Electronegativity is an expression of an atom's tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond. In order to determine the polarity of a bond, you must find the difference in the electronegativies of the atoms involved.
Why do we use electronegativity to determine bond polarity?
The difference in electronegativity ( Δ EN) between bonded atoms can indicate whether the bond is nonpolar, polar covalent, or ionic. Generally, the farther apart two elements are on the periodic table, the more ionic the bond character, and the closer together they are, the less ionic the bond is.
Why is polarity important to life?
The significance of molecular polarity to the biological sciences come from two main areas: First, polar molecules tend to become oriented with respect to other molecules. Because of this, polar molecules are important in helping to establish the three-dimensional structure or orientation of other larger molecules.
Polarity is important because it determines whether a molecule is hydrophilic (from the Greek for water-loving) or hydrophobic (from the Greek for water-fearing or water-averse). Molecules with high polarity are hydrophilic, and mix well with other polar compounds such as water.
How does electronegativity affect polarity and bond character?
The shared electrons of the covalent bond are held more tightly at the more electronegative element creating a partial negative charge, while the less electronegative element has a partial positive charge, . The larger the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, the more polar the bond.

Kenyan Catholic leaders praise citizen reaction during hostage crisis
Civilians escaping the Westgate mall in Nairobi (CNS)
As Kenyan security forces worked to bring an end the siege at the shopping mall in Nairobi, the nation's Catholic leaders praised their fellow citizens for displaying "Kenyan spirit".
In a statement released on Monday, two days after the attack and hostage crisis began, the bishops praised security officers for their service, ordinary Kenyans for donations of blood, and "the sacrifices of those working in health services; all who have volunteered in any way to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in danger."
The statement said Catholics sent condolences to all Kenyans, "especially those who have lost loved ones and friends in the Westgate (mall) hostage crisis. It is a time of great pain and sorrow for all Kenyans as the innocent people brutally lose their lives."
Extremists from al-Shabab, an affiliate of al-Qaida, stormed Nairobi's Westgate mall on Sunday, throwing grenades and firing on civilians. Kenyan authorities described the extremists as "a multinational collection from all over the world."
At least 68 people were killed and at least 175 injured. The Church statement was signed by Bishop Philip Anyolo of Homa Bay, Kenya, vice president of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops.
