Place: Santa Cruz Islands
The Santa Cruz Islands lie in the southernmost part of the Solomon Islands, just beyond the area identified by archaeologists as Near Oceania, which includes the northern parts of the archipelago down to Makira (San Cristobal) and Ulawa, which were settled ten to twenty thousand years ago. The main Santa Cruz island is called Nendö. The settlement and language patterns in the Santa Cruz and Reef Islands are extremely complex and have formed over the previous 3,200 years after the Lapita peoples arrived via Near Oceania, down to Makira-Ulawa and out into Remote Oceania. There is evidence of obsidian (a volcanic glass rock used in tools and weapons due to its hard cutting abilities) imported into the Santa Cruz and Reef islands from the Bismarck Archipelago off New Guinea, once possibly the home of the Lapita peoples, or at least an area in which they remained for around a thousand years. This suggests the two areas remained in contact for approximately five hundred years.
Linguist Stephen Wurm originally classified the languages of the Santa Cruz Islands and the neighbouring Reef Islands as non-Austronesian. Linguists thought the presence of these languages evidenced a post-Lapita arrival from the Central Solomons. Archaeologists such as Roger Green and Matthew Spriggs suggested that there was a discontinuity some time after the earliest settlement that may relate to intrusion and settlement by non-Austronesian speakers. Linguists Darrell Tryon said these languages have been heavily influenced by Austronesian ones, and suggested that this may have taken place before the present peoples came to the Reef-Santa Cruz Group. However, a recent analysis by Malcolm Ross, Åshild Næss and Brenda Boerger suggests that these are in fact Austronesian languages and related to those of Vanuatu. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reefs_%E2%80%93_Santa_Cruz_languages [accessed 21 Sept. 2011])
The various past arrivals of Polynesians into the southern Solomons further complicate disentangling the region's settlement patterns. The outlying atolls of the Reef Islands (Peleni, Nukapu, Nupani, and Matema) were settled by speakers of Polynesian languages probably from the 'Samoic-Outlier' branch of Polynesian, and probably derived from a Nuclear Polynesian proto-language. The Polynesian communities of Tikopia and Anuta are also nearby. Based on the contemporary traditions of Santa Cruz, there is a marriage pattern in which Polynesian-speaking women were imported into the more northerly communities as wives, which eventually changed the nature of the communities. This recent migration is clear through genealogies from the northern settlements of Santa Cruz. These 'mixed' peoples resemble Santa Cruz Islanders more than they do Polynesians. Anthropologist William Davenport believed that the people of the Santa Cruz Islands, the main Reef Islands, Utupua and Vanikolo are similar and more closely related to the peoples of the Central Solomons. They are easily distinguished from the Polynesian speakers from the Outer Reef and Duff Islands, and the darker peoples of the Western Solomons and even those of north Malaita.
Trade systems in the Eastern Solomon Islands were maintained well into the historical period and can be documented. There were three centres in the Eastern Outer Islands: the Polynesian Outliers, Santa Cruz-Main Reef Island, and Vanikolo-Utupua. This trade group was isolated: 250 kilometres separated them from the next trading cluster to the north: Makira, Santa Ana, Santa Catalina, Ugi and Ulawa. (Green and Cresswell 1976, 13-17)
Graciosa Bay on Nedö (Santa Cruz) Island was also the site of the first European attempt to settle in the Solomon Islands, an unsuccessful one by Mendaña and his expedition on his second voyage to the archipelago in 1595. (Allen and Green 1972; Green and Cresswell 1976)
Santa Cruz was an early port of call once European ships began to visit the Solomon Archipelago regularly-Bishop Patteson (q.v.) first went there in 1856-but was also one the hardest islands on which to establish the Melanesian Mission (q.v.). In 1859, Bishop Patteson (q.v.) took Moto, a Nukapu chief, to visit the Kohimarama School in New Zealand, hoping that he would ease the way for missionary work. The first attempt at forming a permanent Anglican base in the Solomon Islands was in 1862 on Santa Cruz, without success. Patteson visited Santa Cruz again in 1864, but was attacked and two companions were killed. Patteson was killed on nearby Nukapu in 1871 and Commodore Goodenough of the Royal Navy Australia Station was killed at Santa Cruz in 1875. Bishop John Selwyn (q.v.) returned castaways to the Reef Islands in 1877, and placed Mano Wadrokal (q.v.) and his wife on Santa Cruz in 1880. They remained there for five years and schools began to flourish. The first European missionary on Santa Cruz was Lister Kane in 1882-1885, replaced by Sam Gede of Makira in 1886 and Ben Islavno from Motlav (Motalava) in 1887. Lay missionary A. E. Forrest worked there in the 1890s, proving himself a gifted linguist.
In the colonial period the Santa Cruz Islands and all of the rest of the Eastern Solomons were administered from Kirakira on Makira, and from Vanikolo, but they were distant from the Protectorate's centre and often forgotten. After the Protectorate was extended in 1898 to include the Santa Cruz Islands, most official visits were made to Vanikolo Island. In the first half of the twentieth century until the war, the only presence there was a District Officer and a police detachment located on nearby Vanikolo Island, and the area was visited about once a year. The first plantation there was run by Lever Brothers on land acquired originally by Karl Oscar Svensen (q.v.) and sold to Levers in 1904. Between 1906 and 1922 the Manager was John (Jack) Mathews (q.v.) who married a local woman with whom he had two children. Life was extremely difficult for Mathews because the local people did not welcome the plantation and communications with the rest of the Solomons were poor-Levers' ships called only two or three times a year. In the 1920s, the government began to survey the islands but required an armed escort to do so. (Friedlaender et al. 2002, 45; Golden 1993, 385) The government had no permanent administrative presence in the area until 1925, after which it took about five years to impose colonial control.
When the Second World War reached the Solomons in 1942, the District Officer and police withdrew from the area, leaving only an Assistant Medical Officer, Guso Piko from Choiseul, on Vanikolo with no medical supplies. He paddled the eighty-two kilometres to Nidu on one occasion. Piko adjudicated in some sexual cases and made judgements which liberated women, encouraged promiscuity and angered many men. This was called the 'New Law'. Guso Piko then paddled off to the Reef Islands, where he remained for the war's duration. (Davenport 1970, 163-164) After the war the administration resumed its presence at a low level until the 1960s.
The Santa Cruz Islands are famous for their red-feather valuables trade which are described under the 'Material Culture' entry, under 'Forms of Wealth'.

Don't let oppertunity fall to your feet.
I fell so hard it didn't hurt.
The smiling numbness, and all-time high.

But thought them best unsaid.
Four words that could save a life.
And left its scent in silence.

WARWICK BLANKS GLOUCESTER
Willie Gilliam and Tyrone Perry ran for touchdowns as the visiting Warwick Raiders defeated Gloucester 14-0 in Peninsula District action and earned their first victory of the season.
Warwick (1-7) capitalized on a Gloucester miscue in the second quarter to take a lead it would never relinquish. After a Dukes fumble at their 12, Gilliam scored three plays later from 6 yards out with 7:53 left in the first half. Vince Orbison's point-after put the Raiders up 7-0.
A short punt by Gloucester set up the Raiders again in the fourth quarter, and Perry scored on a 1-yard run with 10:25 left. His touchdown capped a seven-play, 25-yard drive and Orbison's conversion made it 14-0. The drive was aided by a late hit penalty against the Dukes, giving Warwick a first-and-goal at the Gloucester 6-yard line.
Gloucester (1-7) totaled only 123 yards of offense, had three turnovers, and its only scoring opportunity was a missed 25-yard field goal in the first quarter.
William Clark led the Raiders with 59 yards rushing on 16 carries.
Perry had 55 yards on 11 carries as Warwick rushed for 148 yards on 31 carries.
Warwick won only two games in 1993, one of them a 41-9 victory over Gloucester. The Raiders' other victory last season was against Lafayette, a team Warwick plays host to Nov. 12.

Dowen College: Lagos Police Begins Investigation Into Death Of Sylvester
The Lagos State Police Command on Saturday said the investigation into the death of one Sylvester Oromoni of Dowen College, Lekki, is currently ongoing.
The Lagos Police Command, in a statement issued by CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said that although no formal report had been made to it, the Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, had ordered the investigation of the death.
"The Lagos State Police Command is not unaware of the reported death of one Sylvester Oromoni, a 12-year-old student of Dowen College, Lekki, Lagos, which is currently going viral on social media.
READ ALSO: Dowen College: Odumosu Orders Probe Of Sylvester's Death
"The Commissioner of Police, upon hearing about it, instantly directed the Divisional Police Officer, Maroko Division, under whose jurisdiction the place of incident is, to immediately visit the school to carry out an initial investigation into the incident.
"This directive has been carried out as an investigation into the case has since commenced.
"However, in view of the seriousness of the case, the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, has also been directed to take over the investigation of the case immediately," he said.
Ajisebutu, in the statement, further said that members of the public should avoid taking laws into their hands as the command has assured the bereaved family of justice.
"Members of the public, particularly the deceased's bereaved parents, friends, and relatives, are assured that the Lagos State Police Command has deployed all available human and material resources at its disposal to unravel the circumstances surrounding the sad and unfortunate incident.
"While the diligent investigation is ongoing, members of the public are advised against taking the law into their own hands.
They are also enjoined to refrain from comments that could jeopardize the investigation.
"The Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, while commiserating with the bereaved family, has equally assured that the outcome of police investigation would be made public in due course," he said.
Oromoni was reported dead on Wednesday, Dec. 1 by a Twitter user, @perrisonoromoni who claimed to be the deceased's cousin.
According to @perrisonoromoni, the deceased was bullied and beaten by fellow students which led to his death.
However, Dowen College, in a statement, denied all allegations, stating that Oromoni only complained of body pains from playing football.
Dowen College also directed students to take Friday, Dec. 3 off, and resume on Monday, Dec. 6 following the incident and to also enable the students to study for exams.
@perrisonoromoni subsequently put out photos and video evidence, which showed the bruises on the deceased's body.
The Lagos State Ministry of Education, however, on Friday, Dec. 3, announced the indefinite closure of Dowen College, Lekki, pending the outcome of an investigation into the boy's death.

Here are the top 5 news of the day.
Passengers of MaxAir airline were aggrieved over the delay caused by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) after boarding.
It was learned that the NCAA had stopped the already taxiing airline, to carry out a safety inspection on the airplane.
The VM1609 of MaxAir flight was to depart to Lagos from the Abuja airport.
READ ALSO: Illegal Oil Refinery Operators Arrested In Lagos
According to an official report, the flight was stopped due to technical issues as commuters were left stranded in the aircraft.
Narrating the event, a passenger named Raymond had explained how the 11.30 am flight had moved some distance on the tarmac preparatory for take-off before it was eventually turned back to the hangar and parked.
When contacted to explain what actually happened, the Station Manager for MaxAir at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Kehinde Ogunyale, said the aircraft had to follow the rules of the aviation industry regulator-NCAA.
"It was just a delay on the flight, nothing like stranded passengers please, and it is because we were told that the NCAA wanted to do an inspection. That was it," he told our correspondent.
Ogunyale added, "So the delay came because we were waiting for the NCAA to do the inspection. There is nothing like stranded passengers on our flight.
"The aircraft was ready to take off and they said they wanted to do an inspection on the flight. So the time spent had to do with waiting for the NCAA officials to do the inspection.
"After the inspection, the flight was meant to take off and as I am talking to you now I've just got information that the plane is now taxiing for take-off."
It was learnt that the flight finally took off around 2 pm after the civil aviation authority had completed the safety inspection on the aircraft.
Although the spokesperson for NCAA, Sam Adurogboye, stated that he had yet to be briefed on the MaxAir incident in Abuja when contacted, he explained that it was a standard practice to inspect an aircraft, especially whenever a pilot raised a concern.
"The pilot might have noticed an issue and might have called the NCAA to inspect the plane. So it is a standard practice to carry out such inspection before clearing the aircraft for takeoff," he stated.
BREAKING: Kanu's Trial Adjourned
Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), would again appear before a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, as his trial was adjourned today (Tuesday, January 18).
The court adjourned Kanu's trial after the IPOB leader complained that the federal government didn't serve him the fresh 15 amended charges on time.
Kanu, through his team of lawyers led by Mike Ozoekhome (SAN), informed the court that the amended charges were served to them barely 24 hours prior to the former's appearance in court, which they argued was a limited time for them.
"My Lord, the proposed amended charges were served on us yesterday (Monday) evening. As I speak to you, my lord, the defendant, who was just brought in, has not even seen the charges which he is being told to enter his plea.
"With due respect, that is not justice. It is ambushing. I know that the Administration of Criminal Justice Act allows the Federal Government to amend, but this is the sixth amendment they are making, and each time they do it, they serve us a day to the hearing, just to frustrate the trial," Ozekhome stated.

Home Blu-Ray/DVD Blu-Ray Review: Inglorious Basterds
Blu-Ray Review: Inglorious Basterds
Once Upon A Time in Nazi-Occupied France…With these words, Quentin Tarantino begins an amazing fairytale of WWII revisionism. Told in five parts, Inglorious Basterds is the story of a squad of "Nazi hunters" calling themselves the basterds and a cinema owner named Shosanna Dreyfus. Together, they attempt a plan to take out Hitler himself. In getting to this point of the story, Tarantino puts together a series of seemingly unrelated sequences and characters, weaving them into a brilliant tapestry of storytelling with one of the best payoffs in a film all year.
Alternating between unbelievable suspense, laugh-out-loud humor (mostly provided by Brad Pitt's over-the-top portrayal of Basterd leader Lt. Aldo Raine), and over-the-top action, Inglorious Basterds is moviemaking at it's best, and nothing short of a masterpiece. Much of the story takes place in Dreyfus' cinema, and as I was watching, I began to realize just how much the story was influenced by Tarantino's own love of film. It's unusual to see the work of a filmmaker with such passion for what they do.
Although the film runs over two and half hours, I never found myself losing interest. This is one of the rare films I could watch again and again just the artistry on display. The way the story builds to its genius finale is a real treat to watch, and all the performances are brilliant. In fact, Christoph Waltz gives the best performance of the year as Col. Hans Landa, "The Jew Hunter." Calm and methodical, this is one of those performances that you just can't get out of your head. It's a subtle performance, and it's terrifying.
With a film as good as this, I'd be recommending the new Blu-Ray release even without any extras. However, there are a few reasonably entertaining features. By far, the best of these is a round-table discussion with Brad Pitt, Quentin Tarantino, and journalist Elvis Mitchell. It's a very informal discussion where several aspects of the production are discussed, ranging from casting to Pitt's ridiculous accent. Watching Tarantino discuss the concept of film provides a great reminder that there are people out there making movies for the love of it, and not just as a business.
While this is the most interesting extra on the set, the most entertaining is a brief making-of the Nazi propaganda film within the film, Nation's Pride. Directed by Eli Roth (who also stars as one of the Basterds), we only get glimpses of Nation's Pride in the actual movie, but that doesn't stop them from including a hilarious behind-the-scenes look. This segment serves as a brilliant spoof on everything that I hate about making-of features on a DVD. They treat the short as a real film, and the pretentiousness and self-congratulatory praise with which they discuss their work provides as sharp a satire as I've seen in a long time. Also included is the entire six-minute film, which is actually a fascinating companion piece to the real movie.
Unfortunately, the rest of the extras are pretty forgettable. There are the usual extended and alternate scenes, although I found the film perfect as is, and wouldn't want any additional scenes added. Also included is a segment on the original Inglorious Basterds; a film with nothing but the title and a very clever cameo in common. The star of the original appears briefly in Tarantino's film, and there is a short segment touching upon this. The set is rounded out with a couple of interviews with Rod Taylor, who played Winston Churchill, and an exploration of the use of film posters within the movie. Normally, I would be interested in a segment like that, but this documentary proved unusually dull.
I have always been a fan of Tarantino, and it really feels as if every one of his movies is better than the one before. He is a highly unusual filmmaker, and one gets a sense that he really doesn't care about the business side of the industry. Watching one of his films is a reminder of what movies are capable of. As we're heading into award season, I truly hope that this film gets the recognition it deserves. While there have been some great movies this year, I can't think of anything else that has proved as memorable or as entertaining.

One boss in the arcade version, and flashing projectiles thrown by knife throwers in the NES version, knock the sword and shield away if you try to block. When crouching, the kick is the only move that changes animation. High jumping in the arcade is assisted with flashing neon light "jump" pads on the ground. In the NES version you enter sewers, and collect the boot icon, then jump out of the sewer with it, for the limited time you have it. Defeating the sub-boss in the sewer(some of which are either mid or end stage bosses in the arcade version) is optional. You can't jump high while moving in the NES version. The high jump is useful for taking out enemies that attack from above, but not necessary, as their attack are usually easy enough to avoid.
The arcade game is very straightforward, while the NES game has those optional sewer sections. The arcade game also allows you to select which stage you want to start on, so one could just skip to the final stage. The NES version adds a vs. mode. It's basically a 2 player best of 5, with the games engine for the playable characters.
Overall, it's a simple, single plane, early hack 'n slash by Capcom.


A mobile truck and customized container designed by the Energy Technology Station has been built and is equipped with renewable energy equipment, having a 2.5 kW photovoltaic system on its roof. The truck is also equipped with a 600 kW Kestrel turbine, a biogas digester, an energy efficiency booth and various other renewable energy demonstration units. This project will take on the form of a roadshow and the truck will travel nationally visiting rural schools and TVET. The purpose of the Green-Ride project is to enhance the skills training experience and to create awareness amongst rural communities on the benefits, use and installation of renewable energy technology as well as promoting energy and water training programmes offered at DUT. The main funders of this project are the Energy and Water SETA (EWSETA), Chevron and Nedbank.
The DUT energyDRIVE Project, which is being run in partnership with the Energy and Water Seta (EWSETA), Nedbank, Caltex Chevron and Conlog, was launched on 06 December 2016 at the DUT Ritson Campus. Grade 10, 11 and 12 pupils from AD Lazarus Secondary School was invited to this event and the launch of this flagship project was a huge success.
The EWSETA has invited the IEETR Centre to launch this innovative project at the Africa Energy Indaba on the 20-22 February at the Sandton Convention Centre. This project received the runner-up award at the convention. During the visit to JHB the IEETR Centre decided to start the Road Show, 3 schools were visited namely, Thembisa West Secondary, KwaDukathole Secondary and CJ Botha Secondary wereby grade 11 and 12 learners were educated on the renewable energy and given an opportunity to explore the enerydrive truck.
The IEETR Centre collaborates with clients in the research, development and prototyping of innovative energy projects. The centre also participates in various community and industrial engagement projects in renewable and sustainable energy. Below are details of some of the completed and ongoing projects.
A 5.1 kW Wind and Photovoltaic Hybrid System was designed and implemented at the Saphumula Secondary rural school in the Ugu district of Umbumbulu. The system provides power to light up all the classrooms and other equipment that the educators need to use to support them while teaching.
A complete weather station was installed at the site. The installed system acts as a research facility for energy studies and the data is accessible from our dedicated radiation monitor laboratory at DUT. This project was funded by Iqraa Trust, the Muslim Charitable Trust and Catoridge Electrical and the Technology Innovation Agency.
This is one of our renewable energy demonstration projects. The project aimed to showcase the sustainable utilization of solar energy for lighting especially off grid areas using latest compact design combining LED lighting with solar PV systems. Total 25 lighting systems have been installed at Steve Biko campus, DUT (See Picture below) to demonstrate and make aware of the technology functioning and assess the long-term performance of the technology. Each of the systems includes a 70Wp poly crystalline solar panel, 240Wh Nickel metal hydrides battery and 50W LED light with maximum lighting efficacy of 152lm/W. The project was designed using the google map tool for identifying the suitable sites (didn't have conventional lighting and were quite darker places in the night time) for lighting campus area optimally. The project has been done in conjunction with Schneider Electrical (the funder).

Plymouth Blitz
Title: Plymouth Blitz
Subject: The Blitz, Cornwall Fortress Royal Engineers, Hull Blitz, Leeds Blitz, History of Plymouth
Collection: 20Th Century in Devon, History of Plymouth, Devon, The Blitz

The Plymouth Blitz was a series of bombing raids carried out by the Nazi German Luftwaffe on the English city of Plymouth in the Second World War. The bombings launched on numerous British cities were known as the Blitz.
The royal dockyards at HMNB Devonport were the main target in order to facilitate Nazi German efforts during the Battle of the Atlantic. Despite this, civilian casualties were very high and the dockyards continued in operation. The first bombs fell on the city on Saturday 6 July 1940 at Swilly, killing three people. In early 1941, five raids reduced much of the city to rubble. Attacks continued as late as May 1944 with two minor air raids in that month.[1] During the 59 bombing attacks, 1,172 civilians were killed and 4,448 injured.[2]
The resident population fell from 220,000 at the outbreak of war to, at one point, only 127,000. In 1941 most of the children were evacuated and on any night that a raid was expected thousands of people were taken by lorry into the countryside, usually to the fringes of Dartmoor.[2]
" in this town that was wasting away in reddish trails of smoke, only a few citizens wandered: the others were still in hiding; or lay, all distress ended, under the ruins. "
— André Savignon on dawn, 21 March 1941.[2]
In March 1941, St Andrew's Parish Church was bombed and badly damaged. Amidst the smoking ruins a headmistress nailed over the door a wooden sign saying simply Resurgam (Latin for I shall rise again), indicating the wartime spirit, a gesture repeated at other devastated European churches. That entrance to St Andrew's is still referred to as the "Resurgam" door and a carved granite plaque is now permanently fixed there.[3]
Charles Church, destroyed by incendiaries on the nights of 20–21 March 1941, has been preserved in its ruined state as a memorial to civilian victims of the Blitz.
The Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association on the Hoe was also severely damaged on the evening of 20 March 1941. The bombardment is described in the obituary of Stanley Wells Kemp who was the director of the Association at the time.[4]
On the evening of 22 April 1941 during an attack on the central area, the communal air-raid shelter at Portland Square took a direct hit which killed 72 people. In the early 2000s (decade) this was commemorated by the University of Plymouth, which named a new building on the site after the incident, and also commissioned a local artist to create a commemorative piece.
During the Blitz the two main shopping centres and nearly every civic building were destroyed, along with 26 schools, eight cinemas and 41 churches. In total, 3,754 houses were destroyed with a further 18,398 seriously damaged.[2]

AccessReel Trailers – Legend of the Guardians
This Trailer Hit the net like a few weeks ago! I remember seeing it and for some reason I didn't post it, But I just have to because the animation looks amazing. LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE is a new film brought to us by the guys who did 'Happy Feet' with a great voice cast including Emily Barclay, Abbie Cornish, Ryan Kwanten and Helen Mirren just to name a few.
Also this film is directed by Zack Snyder, who was also behind the camera in "Watchmen" and "300".
The film follows Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father's epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father's favour from his younger sibling. But Kludd's jealousy has terrible consequences—causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls.
LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS:THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE hits Australian Cinemas on the 30 September! Looks like a must see.

What a torturous and circuitous route Sleeping Dogs has taken to finally land on retail shelves. First called Black Lotus, and started almost straight after Vancouver-based United Front formed, the stewards of the studio, Activision, decided the game might sell better with more brand name recognition. So they attached it to the True Crime series, which ended up being a mistake when the first game in the planned franchise didn't sell too well. This had a trickle-down effect on True Crime: Hong Kong as it was being called, and eventually the game was cancelled by Activision. Enter Square-Enix, and suddenly the game is back on after all, only now it's called Sleeping Dogs, and you know what? Even if Activision wasn't confident about the sales numbers, they should have had more confidence in the game itself.
If you're old enough to remember the wave of Hong Kong cinema that caught the West by surprise in the 90s with an influx of names like John Woo, Yuen Woo Ping and Chow Yun Fat, then you'll be right at home with Sleeping Dogs. The story centers around Wei Shen a Chinese cop who has returned from America to Hong Kong. He's had a score to settle with organized crime ever since the drug-related death of his sister. Now, as a volatile yet promising Asian-American cop with the San Francisco police, he's been loaned to the Hong Kong department to use childhood connections with the current crop of up and coming Triad bosses to go undercover and get deep into the organization in a way previous HK officers failed to do, usually at the cost of their lives. The problem is, when you're hanging out with old childhood acquaintances, and they end up being somewhat decent human beings with a sense of brotherhood and honor, the lines between right and wrong can blur. That's the essential conflict Wei Shen endures as his moral compass wavers during his time as an undercover officer in Hong Kong.
Like Hong Kong cinema itself, there's nothing particularly original about the plotting of Sleeping Dogs. This is a gangster-centric tale, similar to the sort told over and over again in Grand Theft Auto or Mafia games. What separates it is the locale—only Yakuza is a serious competitor—and the obvious Hong Kong cinematic heritage the game is inspired by. For fans of HK cinema, the one thing that's most surprising is that United Front gets it. The loyalties, the sense of family, the camaraderie all have the "authentic" feel of something from a chop-socky or Triad shoot 'em up. It's not complicated, but it's earnest, and ultimately wins over the audience.
Some may be expecting that because Sleeping Dogs is an open world game set in Asia, this is basically going to be a Yakuza game with Chinese characters instead of Japanese. This would be incorrect. Sleeping Dogs has much more in common with games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row than the mini-game obsessed Yakuza series, which focuses on a small area, and packs it with an improbable level of activities.
Sleeping Dogs has four main areas, loose recreations of the same areas in Hong Kong though by no means geographically accurate. Northpoint is more a working class, residential area, though still very much with a crowded, downtown feel. Central is the finance and entertainment district, while Aberdeen and Kennedy round out the roster with more harbor and upper class residential feels respectively. From the get-go each area is open to you, there's no gradual access to the world.
Sleeping Dogs operates much like you'd expect from an open world game. There's an overarching story, and there's a wealth of collectibles, side-quests (here called "favors") and mini-games to play. Food and drink also offer buffs to the player, so while you may have never given much thought to Chinese herbal tea before, the fact that it offers a damage reduction stat buff will make it a required part of your diet in virtual Hong Kong.

A Long Island college student majoring in finance has moved to the head of the class after winning more than half a million dollars at a World Series of Poker event in Las Vegas.
First-time competitor Shankar Pillai, 22, of Commack was one of more than 800 players who put up $3,000 to buy into the no-limit, Texas hold 'em poker event, a game in which there are face-up community cards for all players to use and face-down hold cards for each player.
After three long days of play, Pillai was stunned to find himself in a final game.
It came down to Pillai, a Baruch College student who hopes to become a financial analyst, and one other person, a poker-faced pro. Their shared cards were 10, 8 and 2.
Pillai drew his own cards: an 8 and an ace – an unlucky "Dead Man's Hand," named for the hand "Wild Bill" Hickok was holding when he was shot in the back.
Pillai said he watched as his opponent, Beth Shak, looked at her cards and then "went all in," shoving all of her remaining chips onto the table. Pillai had to call or fold.
"I thought about it for a few minutes," Pillai said, before pushing all of his chips into the pot, too.
Pillai said he plans to buy a new car with some of the dough.
Pillai said he started playing online poker on his home computer for small amounts of money when he was 15 years old.
"I make a lot of money online," enough to pay tuition and bills and to put some into the bank, he said.
At first, he said, his parents had no clue he was a cyber card sharp, but that changed when checks started arriving at the family home with his name on them.
"They didn't like it, but when they saw how much I was winning, they said it would be OK, as long as I stayed in school," Pillai said.
"Now, after this, they don't think it's so bad," he chuckled.

Asymptotic boundary element methods for thin conducting sheets

Received November 2013 Revised June 2014 Published October 2014
Various asymptotic models for thin conducting sheets in computational electromagnetics describe them as closed hyper-surfaces equipped with linear local transmission conditions for the traces of electric and magnetic fields. The transmission conditions turn out to be singularly perturbed with respect to limit values of parameters depending on sheet thickness and conductivity. We consider the reformulation of the resulting transmission problems into boundary integral equations (BIE) and their Galerkin discretization by means of low-order boundary elements. We establish stability of the BIE and provide a priori $h$-convergence estimates.
Keywords: Boundary element method, transmission condition, asymptotic expansions, thin conducting sheets..

Drug Rehab and Treatment Centers Information Lost Springs, Kansas
Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Lost Springs, Kansas?
There are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers possibilities open to individuals residing in the Lost Springs area. It is very important understand each one of the varieties of rehabilitation possibilities available in Lost Springs, AB., in order to select the appropriate rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Selecting the most appropriate alcohol and drug rehab center in Lost Springs is the central factor in the treatment of drug abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This data will assist you to understand your numerous rehabilitation choices allowing you to have the highest chance of a successful end result.
Let's have a look at the different alcohol and drug treatment centers in Lost Springs, Kansas options that coincide with the circumstances of the person looking for treatment.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Lost Springs, AB. is really a rehab option ideal in case you need medical intervention throughout rehab or clients with considerable drug abuse histories. People can develop both mental and physical dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a short time period, so inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Lost Springs is regarded as the most reliable treatment option in the majority of scenarios. Because of dependence and addiction, women and men will frequently be unable to recover using the limited solutions provided by outpatient rehabilitation programs in Lost Springs, Kansas where drugs and alcohol are still easily obtainable when they leave the outpatient facility. Likewise, individuals in rehab who receive outpatient treatment as an alternative to inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Lost Springs remain susceptible to negative relationships and situations which can cut across their recovery process. If an individual lives with an abusive companion or maintains associations which entail abusing drugs, any rehabilitation endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. For this reason in-patient drug rehabilitation in Lost Springs, AB. will produce more fruitful results that can prove lasting unlike an outpatient drug rehabilitation program where advantages are often very minimal and acute.
In Lost Springs there's both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Short-term is a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation in Lost Springs, Kansas is more intensive and treatment lasts 3 to 6 months on average. It is deemed an ideal setting for clients since it is a safe and secure drug-free setting where they can recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, women and men proceed within a long-term in-patient alcohol and drug treatment program in Lost Springs for the maximum stretch of time permitted, to enable them to deal with anything which might jeopardize their abstinence when they leave treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can require a couple weeks alone, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug rehab in Lost Springs will be time well spent and significantly more effective than short-term centers.
The most crucial factor of all if you or a loved one is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction problem is to do something about it, call someone and seek advice from trained addiction professionals and have an assessment and rehab options to ensure the best opportunity for a full recovery.

Although males were more likely than females to be current illicit drug users in 2008, the rate of current illicit drug use among females aged 12 or older increased from 5.8 percent in 2007 to 6.3 percent in 2008. However, the rate did not change significantly for males (10.4 and 9.9 percent for 2007 and 2008, respectively). Current marijuana use also increased from 3.8 to 4.4 percent among females, but for males there was no significant change (8.0 and 7.9 percent, respectively).
The number of persons aged 12 or older who smoked cigarettes for the first time within the past 12 months was 2.4 million in 2008, similar to the estimate in 2007 (2.2 million) but significantly higher than the estimate for 2002 (1.9 million). Most new smokers in 2008 were under age 18 when they first smoked cigarettes (58.8 percent); however, the number of persons initiating smoking at age 18 or older increased from about 600,000 in 2002 to 1 million in 2008.
In 2008, the number of persons aged 12 or older who had started smoking cigarettes daily within the past 12 months was 0.9 million. This estimate was similar to the estimates for 2002 (1.0 million) and 2007 (1.0 million). Of the new daily smokers in 2008, 37.2 percent, or 350,000 persons, were younger than age 18 when they started smoking daily. This figure averages to approximately 1,000 initiates of daily smoking under age 18 every day.

Real-life disease trackers are on the job
The movie "Contagion" uses award-winning actors to portray the disease trackers and vaccine planners who help health officials manage a new virus outbreak.
Some Pennsylvania scientists do that job for real.
"The average person touches their face, three to five times every waking minute, in between we are touching, door knobs, water fountains and each other," according to the film.
In the movie a lottery–and birth dates–determine who will get the vaccine to ward off a fictional, fast-moving and deadly virus. At the University of Pittsburgh, experts with the Vaccine Modeling Initiative use a supercomputer to run similar public health scenarios.
In one study, Bruce Lee's team at the school's Public Health Computational and Operations Research Group ran a simulation for the Washington, D.C., region to figure out how to distribute the flu vaccine when it's in short supply.
It may be human nature to hoard vaccine for your family–and your community–but Lee says that instinct may not be the best for health.
"We actually found that it's to the benefit, not just to low-income populations, but to everyone, for low-income populations to get the vaccine first," Lee said. "Because low-income areas tend to be very dense, with a lot of people packed together, and also many people travel from low-income areas to high income areas to actually work."
In real life, Lee and other university colleagues were embedded with federal health officials as they tried to slow the spread of the H1N1 virus last year.
"What would happen if we closed the schools? What would happen if persons who had mild symptoms were promptly treated, even without having a specific diagnosis? There were a lot of 'what if' questions that were asked of us on a daily basis" said Don Burke, dean of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health.
Other studies have looked at the reverberations of introducing a new vaccine in a developing country. Lee says that work could help local health officials pinpoint weaknesses in their distribution systems, such as too few refrigerators, trucks or trained health workers.


This travel blog is going to be a little different. Megan, Peak's Marketing Specialist, is returning to school at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. She wanted to share a little history about the city of Atchison and Benedictine College. Check out some facts below!
Atchison is located along the Missouri River in Atchison County, Kansas.
Atchison was founded in 1854 and named in honor of the Missouri senator David Rice Atchison who interested some of his friends in the scheme of forming a city in the new territory.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, there were three militia companies organized here.
Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison where her birth house still stands and is open to the public.
This is also where Benedictine College is located, where Megan attends.
The most popular majors at Benedictine are Business, Education, and Theology.
Benedictine's mascot is Rocky the Raven.
The Ravens compete in fifteen varsity sports and Megan is on the track and field team.
Benedictine College is ordered to the goal of wisdom lived out in responsible awareness for oneself, God and nature, family, and society.
Benedictine College supports and encourages the full development of its students through a community life that expresses and proclaims the worth and dignity of each individual.
Atchison is a small town, but is filled with a ton of history and interesting facts. Megan is excited to return to school, but also sad to be farther away from the Peak Team. She will be working part-time at Peak this semester and is looking forward to visiting soon!

As our schools continue to become more diverse, it is important for educational leaders to demonstrate an appreciation and understanding of student diversity that permeates every aspect of their practice. According to Middleton (1999), "administrators are central to protecting individual learners and to ensuring that learning occurs in an environment consistent with the constitutional commitment to equity and equality" (n.p.). In my opinion, there are two main characteristics of effective diversity leadership: (1) meeting the needs of diverse learners through their educational programming, and (2) creating an environment in which diverse students feel safe and respected.
One characteristic of diversity leadership is to ensure that the educational programming is meeting the needs of its diverse learners. Educational leaders need to recognize the impact that cultural, ethnic, experiential, socioeconomic, and linguistic factors can have on their students' learning and/or behavior. These factors need to be taken into consideration when making modifications or educational decisions for diverse students. In addition, educational leaders should also be working with staff to integrate diversity throughout the curriculum with the goal of increasing student engagement.
Another characteristic of diversity leadership focuses on creating a positive learning and working environment for all students and staff. Educational leaders must continually advocate for a welcoming and safe school climate for diverse students and staff. According to Harris (2006), administrators "who take a stand and advocate for all students build relationships with our 'different' students and make them feel part of the school community. At the same time they take a giant step toward establishing a school atmosphere that reduces bullying and values diversity" (n.p.). Modeling and promoting sensitive practices to their colleagues, parents, and community members is one way educational leaders can create this type of environment. By doing so, they will hopefully instill in the minds of their students an appreciation for diversity that extends beyond the school walls.
Harris (2006) outlines what is means to be a "BRAVO" (Build Relationships with Actions that Value Others) principal. According to Harris, a BRAVO principal "incorporates actions every day that encourage diversity involvement on campus; integrate diversity throughout the curriculum; and advocate for all students" (n.p.). I think that this approach nicely summarizes best practice for educational leaders in the area of diversity. As a future educational leader, I plan to employ the BRAVO approach to diversity leadership.
The two artifacts above demonstrate my understanding and recognition of the significance of diversity, and ability to respond to the needs of diverse learners (C1). Based on the results of a student survey, the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) team, on which I serve, decided that we as a school must respond to the needs of the students being bullied. As a member of the newly formed bullying prevention sub-committee, I have assisted in the development of an anti-bullying program appropriate for secondary students. This group has reviewed bullying curriculum materials and strategies employed by other schools to create a series of lessons to be taught during our daily advisement period. The initial lessons focus on defining, recognizing, and putting an end to bullying, while the last set of lessons focus specifically on cyber-bullying, one of the most common forms seen at the secondary level.
This artifact demonstrates my ability to create and monitor a positive learning environment for all students (C2), as well as a positive working environment for all staff (C3). As coach of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports team, I have been involved in creating, implementing, and sustaining both student and staff incentive programs at Chisago Lakes High School. The incentive programs are designed to reinforce positive behavior, ultimately creating a more positive learning and working environment for everyone.

Featuring film and photography, Imperfect Societies probes themes of history, trauma, and nationhood set within the tropes of science fiction. In Icarus 13: The First Journey to the Sun, Kiluanji Kia Henda plunges viewers into parallel traditions at pivotal movements in Angolan history, from the politics of Marxism-Leninism to the practice of witchcraft, as told within sci-fi narratives of the Cold War. Henda employs a sense of humor and criticality in his videos and photography, which often investigates themes of identity, politics, and perceptions of post-colonialism and modernism in Africa. Vietnamese-born artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen's work questions the individual's relationship to history, nationhood, and cultural displacement. In Nguyen's short film The Island, shot on the Malaysian island Pulau Bidong (once the largest and longest-operating refugee camp after the Vietnam War that also housed Nguyen and his family) we encounter a dystopian future focused on the last two people on earth.

Q: Redux-Form, how to use formValueSelector with dynamic Field names? I'm using redux form and trying to create a Field component like so:
<Rating
  stop={10}
  initialRate={selector(this.props.state, 'age')}
  onRate={(rate) => this.onRateChange(rate)}
  onChange={(value) => { this.changeRate("name", value) } }
/>
{this.state.label}

<Field
  name="age"
  type="number"
  component={renderField2}
/>

RateForm = reduxForm({
  form: 'rateForm'
})(RateForm);

const selector = formValueSelector('rateForm');

const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return {
  };
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps)(RateForm);

The problem I'm having is initialRate is not working... the following is not returning a value:
selector(this.props.state, 'age')

Because the field name will be dynamic, I need to avoid:
defining the specific field name in mapStateToProps.
What am I doing wrong with redux-form formValueSelector to not provide initialRate with a value?

A: You can do something like this:
import { getFormValues } from 'redux-form/immutable'

getFormValues will return the values saved corresponding to the form name provided.
const mapStateToProps = state => {
  const formState = getFormValues('rateForm')(state)
  console.log('formState...', formState)
  return formState
}

This is working fine for me. I am getting values of all the Field component rendered particular to this form i.e rateForm in your case.
For more details, you can go here.

A: From the docs:

The function returned from formValueSelector() has the following
  structure:
selector(state:Object, ...field:String)
 state : Object [required]

The global Redux state given to mapStateToProps.
 ...field : String [required]

The field, or fields, you want to select. If you provide only one
  field name, the function will return the value of that field. If you
  provide more than one field name, it will return an object mapping
  fields to values. If your field are "deep" (i.e. has one or more . in
  the name), the structure you get back will also be deep. e.g. If your
  fields are 'a.b' and 'a.c', the resulting structure will be { a: { b:'bValue', c: 'cValue' } }.

In your case you are not returning anything from the mapStateToProps,
You could instead of having a selector in the Rating component, have it in mapStateToProps and use it like
<Rating
  stop={10}
  initialRate={selector(this.props.state, 'age')}
  onRate={(rate) => this.onRateChange(rate)}
  onChange={(value) => { this.changeRate("name", value) } }
/>

const selector = formValueSelector('rateForm');

const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return {
      state
  };
};

The above example is assuming that props are available to the Rating component.

A: @Ritesh points me out to the solution:
const formName = "form";
const form = reduxForm<MyFormFields, MyFormProps>({form: formName});

function MyForm() {
   return (

        Here your form

 ({
    initialValues: {
    },
    getFormFieldValue: (field: string) => {
        const selector = formValueSelector(formName);
        return selector(state, field);
    }
});

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch: Dispatch) => ({
    changeField: (field: string, value: any) => dispatch(change(formName, field, value)),
    resetForm: () => dispatch(reset(formName)),
});

export default withRouter(connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(form(MyForm)));

Hope this can be helpful for someone!

So you finally went out and invested in a new set of hearing aids. Well done, it's a great start to maximizing the quality of your life. Modern hearing aids are newer technology and there are things you should learn to do and things that you should learn not to do. With hearing aids the list is significant even though it's not very long.
There are other things to consider besides just taking care of your hearing. Your adjustment time will be slowed by the things you fail to do and your device will be less effective. Others in your situation have made mistakes that you can learn from. These four things that you shouldn't do should be taken into consideration.
If you don't check out the features that come with the brand you purchased and take the time to learn the basics of how your device functions you could be overlooking powerful features. If you just turn on your hearing aids and put them in, more than likely they won't work efficiently. You may also miss out on the best features like Bluetooth or noise filters.
You can practice fine-tuning the hearing aid and figure out how to obtain the best sound quality by being patient and reading the user manual.
You will already have a general idea of what your hearing aids can do when you purchase them. Now you have to figure out how to use and that which takes a little time.
Your eyes need to adjust to the shape of the frame and the change in lenses when you get new glasses. There is also an adjustment period with hearing aids. Many new hearing aid owners believe they will instantly enjoy this fantastic new sound quality. It doesn't work that way.
Your ears will require a couple days to adjust to what is a significant change, particularly if you haven't worn hearing aids before. Adjusting to your new hearing aids quickly is all about consistency.
After you put them in leave them in. Frequently, new users feel an urge to keep removing them. That urge should be resisted. If you are not comfortable, think about why.
Take the hearing aid out if it gets uncomfortable for short periods. If the hearing aids just don't seem to fit right, go back to the retailer and have them inspected.
Does the background noise seem overwhelming? Go to a quiet place for a few minutes when you first put them in each day. Sit with a friend and talk. Ask if you are talking too loud. This will help you make adjustments to balance out the sound.
The most substantial mistake you can make is to give up. If you stuff your hearing aids in a drawer and forget about them, they will do you no good.
There is a lot involved in getting the right hearing aids, and it begins before you even start shopping. During your hearing exam at the audiologist, it's important to be honest about what you can and can't hear. You could end up with hearing aids that aren't right for your level or type of hearing loss. For example, some hearing aids by design amplify a high-frequency sound. If your hearing loss interferes with your ability to hear mid-range or low tones, the hearing aids won't work correctly for you.
Take note of when you wish your hearing aid did something different or when they aren't functioning correctly while you are still in the trial period. You can go back to the hearing aid technician and discuss those problems. It might just take an adjustment, or perhaps you need a different type of device.
When you buy your hearing aids be sure to go to a seller that does free fittings. They can't be too big for your ears or they won't work right.
Successful upkeep of your hearing aids begins with knowing how and when to do it. Take the time to learn how to care for your new device even if you've used hearing aids before.
When you buy your hearing aids, Take a close look at at the warning signs listed in the user manual like using hair products with your hearing aids in or not turning them off when you take it out.
Understand exactly how to clean your hearing aids because that's a big part of correct maintenance. The hearing aid is not the only thing that requires cleaning. You also have to properly clean your ears.
You have to take the initiative if you want to get the most out of your hearing aids. The process begins as you are shopping for them and continues when you begin using them. Make an appointment with a hearing care professional to find out what type of hearing aid will best fit your needs.
