Most of the actors in Marco Polo eat a lot of eggs and chicken breasts — a high protein, low fat diet that helps them grow big muscles and look ripped, I was told. That made me think of the Disney cartoon character Gaston in Beauty and Beast. The kitchen is so used to actors eating lots of eggs that when I order my 5-minute boiled eggs in the morning, they come in fours unless I specifically ask for only one or two. Claudia Kim, who plays Khutulun in the show, would eat six eggs in one go. She has been training to transform her slender willowy physique into one that is taut and muscular. Unfortunate for me, I never get to train with them, because my character doesn't move much at all. I remember getting excited over a long tracking shot of me walking briskly as I talked — the biggest action I had in the entire season. Needless to say, I don't need to eat eggs the way they do.
But I love eggs. The first few times the kitchen delivered 4 boiled eggs for breakfast, I actually ate them. After a while, I stopped eating so many because I didn't want to have clogged arteries and die of a heart attack. Since I began taking Pilate lessons last week, I felt that I deserved some eggs for Sunday morning. I made a Malaysian omelette for breakfast. And when I saw a leftover boiled egg and some leftover black rice in the fridge, I made an egg prawn rice stack for lunch. It was fun to make the leftover into something new.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan on medium high heat. Stir fry the Thai onion, spring onion, peppers until aromatic. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and turn the stove to medium. Let it cook for a minute or two. When the omelette is set at the bottom, but still a little runny on top, fold it in three and turn off stove.
Serve with shrimp sambal sauce.
Sambal is a Malaysian spicy sauce that can go with almost any food. You can substitute with other spicy sauce of your choice if you can't find it near you.
Chop the cook prawns and set aside.
Chop boil egg(s) and mix with a dash of white pepper powder, a pinch of salt and a dash of rice vinegar. You can also add 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise to each egg, and serve the stack with a mayo based sauce. But I decided against mayonnaise for obvious reasons.
Rinse the cup that you will use as a mold and do not dry it. Add cubed cucumber, then chopped egg mixture, then the prawns and finally the rice. Press the rice down to pack the stack firm but not too tight.
Cover the plate with a small plate and flip it. If the food sticks to the cup, use a knife to run around the edge to loosen it a bit.
Garnish with chopped spring onion, chili and sesame seeds.
Serve the stack with the sauce.

Home Uncategorized Looking for Emily Williamson, RSPB founder
By Tessa Boase | Uncategorized | 3 comments | 6 November, 2019 | 1
Victorian campaigner Emily Williamson was so incensed by the millinery trade's use of plumage that she invited her friends to tea — and persuaded them to sign a pledge to wear no feathers. The all-female group called itself the Society for the Protection of Birds — "a very ambitious title," noted The Times, under the headline "Birds and Bonnets." The year was 1889, and the fashion for feathers was reaching a terrible crescendo.
The story of the RSPB's unstoppable growth (its 'R' for Royal Charter granted in 1904) is, of course, is history.
Except that it isn't. Because the writers of history then chose to ignore, or suppress, or even reinvent the remarkable fact that the British bird conservation movement had female founders. The ladies behind this society got none of the credit. Emily survives in the annals as a faceless name, and that is all.
Who was Emily Williamson?
When I started researching the RSPB's surprising eco-feminist roots, it was very difficult to find out. The tea party anecdote cropped up in a handful of books, but with no flesh on its bones. There was no photograph, "and you won't find one," the RSPB's librarian told me. "None exist." A Blitz bomb had destroyed most of those early archives during the Second World War.
But Emily's house is still standing, and so a pilgrimage to Didsbury, Manchester seemed like a good place to start.
The Croft, Didsbury – where the Society for the Protection of Birds was founded by women protesting about 'murderous millinery', 1889
The Croft is a substantial brick house sitting within the Botanical Gardens at Fletcher Moss Park — the alpine garden created by Emily and her solicitor husband Robert in the 1880s. The couple had no children. Nature, plant-gathering expeditions and horticulture fulfilled their lives. Today the garden is thriving once again, thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers. It's a lush, surprising, otherworldly space, seemingly far from England's north with its spiky palms and giant, fleshy plants. Bird feeders hang from every spare bough, with blue tits and robins darting back and forth.
The Botanical Garden within Fletcher Moss Park was created by bird-lovers Emily and Robert Williamson in the mid 1880s
The old brick house is now divided into flats. I'd heard that the RSPB had marked its centenary here in 1989, and so I walked around it slowly, looking in vain for a blue plaque. Where had Emily Williamson been remembered?
"Who, love?" asked a baffled park warden. "Never 'eard of 'er!"
Had I come to the wrong place? Confused, I rang the phone number on a "Friends of Fletcher Moss" noticeboard, and got chairman Alan Hill. "Ooh, it's a bit of a scandal," he said, pleased that I was asking. "Go and see for yourself."
He directed me to a dank bit of wall near to the café entrance, where a square metal board bearing the RSPB's logo was half hidden. "Action For Birds — 100 years," it read. But the name on the plaque was not Emily Williamson's.
"The unveiling was performed by the Society's President MAGNUS MAGNUSSON on 17th February 1989 at The Croft, where the Society was founded one hundred years ago," it read. Incredibly, it made no mention of the founder herself.
I saw what Alan meant. It was a bit of a scandal.
I caught the train back south and began to search in earnest for Emily Williamson. When The Manchester Evening News had sent a reporter to the unveiling of the centenary plaque, he'd described Emily Williamson as a "stout Victorian woman." In 1889 she would have been 34.
I turned to Ancestry.com, which led me to a living relative: Emily's great nephew, the animal ethologist Professor Patrick Bateson, Fellow of the Royal Society. I sent an email, and received a charming reply. "Good heavens. Did Great Aunt Emily really start the RSPB? It would be so good if that were true!"
It was true. Astonishingly, neither he nor any family members had any idea about this aspect of her life. How modest she must have been. This same deliberate anonymity was also true of her RSPB co-founders, Eliza Phillips and Etta Lemon, the Croydon women whose Fur, Fin and Feather Folk merged with Emily's society in 1891. The magnificent Etta Lemon then took the bird protection movement robustly forward for the next half century.
I asked Patrick Bateson if there was, by chance, a photograph. And later that day, an email dropped into my inbox. Opening that file was a tremendously exciting moment. I couldn't have guessed at the power this image would come to hold when it eventually went out into the world, on publication of my book Mrs Pankhurst's Purple Feather in 2018.
Rare image: the first and only known picture of Emily Williamson as an adult, unearthed when I contacted family members via ancestry.com
Melissa Bateson unveils a plaque in honour of her great, great aunt, Emily Williamson. 'I have loved birds since I was a small child,' says Melissa, who studied zoology at university. 'It was an extraordinary coincidence for me to discover that I am the great, great niece of the woman that founded the RSPB'
When you have a face, you have a personality — and then you have a story. I am still piecing together Emily's wider story, combing through the Bateson family archives. Her cousin Edith was a committed suffragist. Was Emily? I don't yet know.
"Women are mostly timid in inaugurating anything," she once wrote to a newspaper, "but they are very ready to give their help to a good cause when they are shown the way." It was a typically modest statement about her part in founding the RSPB. While others (19th-century male ornithologists) might have written "I showed them the way," Emily studiously kept her ego out of the story.
But now that she has a face, Manchester's eco heroine is being propelled, gently, into the spotlight. In 2019 the good people of Didsbury crowd-funded a fitting plaque for Emily Williamson. A group gathered at The Croft on 1 June for the grand unveiling. Emily's great, great niece, Professor Melissa Bateson, joined environmentalists, councillors, RSPB staff and garden volunteers as the guest of honour. Sadly, her father Patrick had died in 2017, and so she was picking up the baton.
Starling specialist Professor Melissa Bateson, of Newcastle University. 'As a woman involved in the scientific study of birds, I feel a very strong connection with Emily and am hugely proud of what she managed to achieve and the legacy she has left'
Melissa is another ethologist, expert in the foraging patterns of starlings. Like her father, she'd had no idea that her ancestor was so intimately bound up with the birds. I wondered if her career path was coincidence or destiny.
When Melissa Bateson stood next to that ghostly image of her great, great aunt, it was an emotional moment for everyone. For me, it felt as if the story had come full circle. A new generation of talented, spirited and trenchant women are driving today's conservation movement.
Great things are now planned for Fletcher Moss Park, in honour of Emily Williamson. A competition to create a bronze statue was launched in December 2020. The RSPB-backed campaign will be driven by me, Tessa Boase, together with Andrew Simcock, Didsbury councillor and the man responsible for bringing a statue of Emmeline Pankhurst into the centre of Manchester. Fletcher Moss Park will become a place of pilgrimage for bird-lovers, conservationists and feminists alike. Discover more at https://www.emilywilliamsonstatue.com/

Fascinated to learn more about Emily. I grew up in Didsbury, and we often went to Fletcher Moss when I was a child. I did see something of this story in an exhibition there in the not too-distant past – perhaps 8 or 9 years ago – but it is good to learn more.
Tessa Boase Reply January 16, 2020 at 2:32 pm
Hi Jane – glad you enjoyed that. Fletcher Moss has been voted 'Britain's best-loved park,' apparently. But still very little recognition of who once lived there, and what she started. We hope to change all this!
Molly Baer Kramer Reply June 8, 2020 at 3:27 pm
Hi Tessa – this is a beautiful story, thank you for your compassionate investigation. I wrote a brief biography of Emily Williamson for the Dictionary of National Biography in 2001 – it contains information on Emily's roles in the early RSPB (in addition to founding it), if you are interested. At the time, I could not even find Mrs Frank Lemon's first name!

Summer is finally here, and with it, fresh, local, sun-kissed produce. Perfect for ratatouille. Here's my version, based on various recipes I've tried over the years. This is the kind of dish that changes slightly every time you make it. A dash of more herbs here, an extra zucchini there.
Ratatouille is also the main course for my Summer in Provence EatWith dinner, served with cous cous following an appetizer of niçoise salad and prior to my home made chèvre. We'll be resuming those dinners in September, making summer last with classic Provençal flavours.
In the meantime, you can make your own! Printable recipe below. Taste as you go and adjust herbs and veg to your preferences. Happy cooking!
Have your mise en place ready before you start cooking, then you can even sip a glass of rosé as everything comes together.
Use the fine china and the silver if you have it. They're not doing any good hidden away in a drawer and eating off nice plates is a special treat. Don't worry if they don't all match; I'm sure they have stories to tell.
Glorious summer vegetables. Ratatouille is also a fabulous dish for potlucks as it can be eaten lukewarm or even cold. Oh, the possibilities!
Layer the eggplant slices with salt in a colander, cover with something heavy and let drain.
Heat the olive oil in a large casserole over medium heat, sprinkle in the chopped thyme. Sauté onions and garlic for about 5 minutes, then add the bell peppers.
Meanwhile, pat the eggplant slices dry with a paper towel and spread out on a baking sheet covered in parchment and drizzled with olive oil. Add some olive oil on top as well as salt and pepper, roast in oven until golden, turning a few times.
Add the tomatoes and bay leaf to the onions and peppers, season with salt, and let simmer.
In a separate pan, heat olive oil and savory, add the sliced zucchini, salt and pepper, and sauté over medium-high heat.
Add the roasted eggplant and the golden zucchini to the casserole, stir and season to taste, then let simmer for about half an hour.
You can serve this as is, piping hot, lukewarm, and even cold. The flavours do develop with time, so if you can wait a day, even better.
So pour yourself a nice glass of chilled rosé and go to France in a meal!
Don't forget dessert! A freshly baked apricot tart with hints of lavender for example. Bon appétit!
That table! That food! I can attest to how it tastes as good as it looks.

Darkcoin Surges 550% in May as Privacy Increasingly Valued: Will it Last?
Sunday, 18/05/2014 | 13:27 GMT by Leon Pick
trading // ToDo refactor when changes on back-end are ready
While stock investors like to "Sell in May and Go Away", Darkcoin has been doing the oppposite this month. Previously a lesser-known altcoin, Darkcoin has been popping up on radar screens more recently as its value has surged.
Amongst mineable Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies By using cryptography, virtual currencies, known as cryptocurrencies, are nearly counterfeit-proof digital currencies that are built on blockchain technology.

The term, cryptocurrency derives from the origin of the encryption techniques that are employed to secure the netw Read this Term, it now ranks 5th in market cap, worth roughly $20 million and trading at close to $4.80 per unit. This puts it ahead of well-established coins like Namecoin. Accounting for non-mineable cryptocurrencies, it ranks 7th.
It had earlier traded as high as $6.50 per unit, a gain of 550% in May.
Will this last? Though an impressive rally, it does appear that the descent has begun. Anecdotally, such rapid advances are unsustainable, as we observe with any asset. Virtually all coins making such rapid launches into the upper echelons of market cap have not dwelled there very long. They have crashed back to earth, and then some. Auroracoin and Isracoin are prime examples.
Coinbase to Target Retail Traders with First Bitcoin Derivatives
Some traders seem to think otherwise. On one of the Darkcoin subreddits (the other is restricted to private personnel), commenters debated if Darkcoin has actually ever experienced comparable corrective behavior to other altcoins. One proclaimed, "Its only temporary! Once rc3 [the latest version] for darksend comes out later this month, we should see another price rally, hopefully around $10 :)."
On the BTC-e chat, traders dared to engage in discussion of the hot coin at the risk of getting slapped with a ban for discussing coins not traded on the exchange. One commented, "I dumped my bc for a loss last week, decided to put the btc in to drk."
While a steep correction is expected- if not immediately, then over a few weeks- it should be pointed out that in theory, there are underpinnings to Darkcoin's value (again, in theory). Its goal is to make all cryptocurrency transactions truly anonymous, something which its founders feel Bitcoin has failed at:
"When making Payments Payments One of the bases of mediums of exchange in the modern world, a payment constitutes the transfer of a legal currency or equivalent from one party in exchange for goods or services to another entity. The payments industry has become a fixture of modern commerce, though the players involved and means of exchange have dramatically shifted over time.In particular, a party making a payment is referred to as a payer, with the payee reflecting the individual or entity receiving the payment. Most commonl One of the bases of mediums of exchange in the modern world, a payment constitutes the transfer of a legal currency or equivalent from one party in exchange for goods or services to another entity.

Most commonl Read this Term with Bitcoin it's like leaving your checking account open in your browser and everyone on the internet is able to see what you bought. It's really a shame the original development didn't aim to prioritize the user's privacy."
Thus, its payment system, DarkSend, splits payments and pools them with split payments of other users in an effort to "scramble" their information. Receivers of payments draw coins from the pools until they receive the correct amount.
The issue of privacy in cryptocurrency has become a hot topic recently when the "Dark Wallet" extension was launched. Like Darkcoin, it looks to keep transactions 100% anonymous. Its backers were not shy about its "dark side", saying, "Well, yes, bad things are going to happen on these marketplaces…..Liberty is a dangerous thing."
It would therefore not be surprising to see the drivers of privacy and anonymity fundamentally propel the prices of coins best geared to support them. Indeed, many will argue that the underground worlds of crime and drug dealing have largely been the fundamental drivers behind Bitcoin's increasing demand and value over the past few years.

Note: Salamanders should never be handled with bare hands as skin oils and even soap residues will damage them.
The three salamanders covered in this article have an aquatic stage in their development and are considered mole salamanders as opposed to woodland or Plethodontid which breath through their skin.
Yellow Spotted Salamander
Yellow spotted salamander (photo by Leanne Lemaich)
Yellow-spotted salamanders are our largest species of salamander. They are readily recognizable by their black colour and pattern of bright yellow or orange spots. They reach a length of 20 cm (8 in.). The head, body and tail are dark grey to blue-black. Their belly and sides are lighter blue-grey. Along the back, tail, sides, head, and legs are two uneven rows of up to 54 bright yellow spots.
These salamanders range over much of North America.
Deciduous and mixed forests are the preferred habitat, especially those located near woodland ponds for breeding. Smaller habitats created by leaf litter, logs and rocks are used for foraging and shelter.
Adults spend most of their day hiding underground or beneath rocks and logs and come out at night to eat spiders, insects, snails, slugs, earthworms and beetles. The juveniles will eat snails and immature aquatic insects.
When threatened, spotted salamanders secrete a mild sticky toxin from their backs and tails that dissuades predators such as skunks, raccoons, turtles, chipmunks, squirrels, opossums, and snakes from eating them.
Breeding occurs on rainy nights in March/April when they migrate to their breeding wetlands. Spermatophores, which are similar in size to a grain of rice, are attached to objects on the bottom of the pond. Females will collect the spermatophores to fertilize their egg sacks. Up to 300 eggs, in two to four jellylike masses, are then laid underwater. The eggs are attached to pond plants, submerged sticks or other vegetation. After four to seven weeks, the eggs hatch into aquatic larvae. The larvae will then develop into terrestrial juveniles before the end of the summer. For males, sexual maturity is reached between ages three and six. For females, sexual maturity is reached by age seven. Adults may only breed once every two to three years. Once breeding season is over, adults will spend most of their time underground in burrows and cavities. This is a long-lived species, reaching 30 years of age or more in the wild.

Blue Spotted/Jefferson Complex Salamander
Blue spotted/Jefferson complex salamander (photo by Leanne Lemaich)
The Blue-Spotted Salamander is a small to medium-sized salamander with a narrow head and dark black body with bright blue flecks. The long, laterally compressed tail makes up nearly half of the total body length, which ranges between 3.9 and 5.5 inches. The blue-spotted salamander can be distinguished from the similar-looking young Jefferson salamander by its narrower head and larger spots. It also uses vernal pools with organic debris. Eggs are deposited singly or sometimes in clusters underneath leaves or at the base of tussocks. It feeds on insects, slugs, worms, and other small invertebrates.
The Jefferson Salamander is a large, gray to brownish-gray salamander with fine markings of light blue to silvery flecks on the limbs, lowers sides, and tail. Adults measure 4–7 inches in total length. The tail is laterally compressed (especially in sexually active males) and is approximately the length of the body. It has distinctively long toes and a stocky build. Males tend to be smaller than females. Larvae have bushy, external gills, and a wide head. They inhabit mature deciduous and mixed deciduous-coniferous forests and woodlands. Vernal pools and shrub swamps are used for breeding and creating egg masses.
Both the Blue-Spotted and the Jefferson Salamanders are members of an intricate group of salamanders known as the Ambystoma jeffersonianum complex. The complex consists of two bisexual species, Jefferson Salamander and Blue-spotted Salamander. The unisexual Ambystoma, whose populations almost always consist entirely of females, co-occur with local populations of genetically pure Jefferson Salamanders and Blue-spotted Salamanders, and can perpetuate through complicated reproductive mechanisms involving the use of sperm from males of either of those two species. The resulting offspring are unisexual who almost always consist entirely of females. They co-occur with genetically pure Jefferson and Blue-spotted Salamanders and can perpetuate through complicated reproductive mechanisms involving the use of sperm from males of either of those two species. Where the two species overlap, biologists consider all to be hybrids and that genetic testing is required for true identification. Unisexual Ambystoma are very similar in appearance to pure forms of Jefferson Salamander and Blue-spotted Salamander.
Red Spotted Newt
Red spotted newt (photo by Leanne Lemaich)
The usual life cycle of this species includes three distinct post-hatching stages: (1) aquatic larva, (2) terrestrial (juvenile) eft, and (3) aquatic adult. The red spotted newt frequents small lakes, ponds, and streams or nearby wet forests. It has a lifespan of 12 to 15 years in the wild, and it may grow to 5 inches in length.
Egg clusters of 200-400 are attached to submerged aquatic vegetation or fallen leaves in the water. The eggs typically hatch in two to four weeks. In late summer or early fall, aquatic larvae develop into terrestrial juveniles (efts).
Efts have slightly rough, dry skin and are bright orange or red, and sometimes even brownish, in color. After two or three years, the eft completes the second metamorphosis to become aquatic adults, with skin that is dull olive green dorsally, with a dull yellow belly, but retains the eft's characteristic black-rimmed red spots. These spots, and the efts coloration, are warnings of toxic skin secretions.
The newts can live up to 15 years in the wild.

Not quite too sure what it is, maybe it's the fresh mountain air or the long drive to the Blue Mountains or just a whole lot of colour your eyes take in, it's always so refreshing spending a day somewhere you'll never get sick of.
I hope everybody has enjoyed their long weekend so far and as for myself I spent it up in the mountains where I was supposed to go for a hike but then turned into location spotting for the best lookout points and a competition to see how many photos we could take on the edge of cliffs, which I lost because my legs were shaking looking at how high we were.
I love how the air is so fresh and crisp and that the views are always so breathtaking. Despite trekking up a tonne of stairs, it's always worth it when you make it to your destination. That and your body will thank you later for how toned it will be.
Hope you enjoy some of these photos, something I definitely needed to do before I mentally prepare myself for how busy this week is. Why are there so many birthdays in May?
Have a great week everybody and until next time..
Fine wine, chocolates and a group of friends.. sounds like a lot of fun, if only you weren't allergic to alcohol!
A couple of friends and I decided to head up to Hunter Valley over the weekend and of course I'm still feeling a little delirious from all that sun I soaked up. We booked in for a wine and chocolate session and although so informative and a lot of fun, I had no clue what our tour guide was talking about. By the second sip of wine, I was already sweating and according to my friend, my scalp went all red. Some wines just don't do well with my body. Regardless I had a tonne of fun and loved exploring the gardens.
I've also recently jumped on the food reviewing wagon because everybody is a little inner foodie at heart, so I jumped on the Zomato app and ended up at this cute cafe called Enzo for lunch. If you follow me on Instagram, the way they serve the iced coffee and juices are pretty nostalgic.
I definitely recommend heading up there if you haven;t already. We ended up coming home with 6 bottles of wine and 2 blocks of chocolate, I mean how often are we going to be there.
Anyways I hope you all had an amazing weekend. Here's hoping the working week will be good to all of us and until next time..
I'm pretty sure the last time I went bushwalking I vowed to never do it again, but somehow I get tricked into thinking that maybe this time it'll be easier.
Just before the new year, my friends and I decided to go bushwalking. We headed up to Wentworth Falls and it was definitely peak tourist times because it was so busy!
There's something about long drives that I really love. As long as I'm up the front and don't get car sick, they're great. Probably one of the reasons I gave in to going bushwalking again this time and maybe breathing in the fresh air, but don't tell my friend Murielle that.
I was able to take some breathtaking pictures that I hope you all will enjoy. Keep in mind this was a recommended three-four hour walk, but we did it in two!
My body was aching for 4 days. It was intense, but I'd do it again as much as I complain every single time I go.
I'm also trying to Instagram everyday so check out my Instagram here.
Byeee and I hope you all had an amazing start to 2016!
Oh wait, let me just check my instagram!
This September has been crazyy for me, I love spring but only sometimes, the parties that have been going on especially this one great party from yours truly, IMATS in sydney, going bushwalking for the first time ever to working really hard and figuring out the next steps for me. It's been a great September and I will now fill you all in on my adventures and pretty pretty pictures that you'll see first if you follow me on insta.
Bushwalking, what an adventure that was! A drive to the beautiful Blue Mountains, giant stairs, the three sisters, overall a fantastic view, getting in touch with nature, but maybe the next time I go, I'll choose an easier track..
It started out with choosing an outfit..
Enjoy these pictures, I did after the trek, I was too busy concentrating on not falling.

I don't believe that the issue is relating to that but there must be something else doing this to my webpage:

The red lines show the whitespace that is being generated for some unknown reason. I have been looking at this for a while and have not been able to find the source. I was wondering if anyone has had an issue like this before? Or someone that might be able to point me in the right direction to fix the matter. I have also tried multiple browsers and have the same issue. I have also made sure that it wasnt just an administration issue. It keeps happening no matter what. I am using Google Chrome currently.
--EDIT--
Here is my jsfiddle for those of you who asked (it still does it on there too) this has the full html
http://jsfiddle.net/RCMh7/

A: Add this to your css.
body { margin: 0px; padding:0px}

Or google "reset.css" and add it into your theme, the Eric Meyer one is fairly popular.
http://www.cssreset.com/

A: you should put margin-top:0 and margin-left:0 on this divs.
can you show on jsfiddle for us? or a link page?

A: Use the firebug for firefox tool to check that CSS issue . It might be occurring just due to some background image or CSS file. For all CSS linked to that theme check that theme's .info file also.
Although As per my experience you will able to get exact source of CSS by using firebug .
It may be some background kind of image or CSS effect.

...and these of course represented a horseshoe kidney !
So the final diagnosis was Megalourethra with horseshoe kidney !


The penultimate season-two event was the $5150 and with the very small field of 24 and the starting stack of 15,000 I hoped to make another TV final table. I drew table 14, seat seven, but they broke the table almost immediately and moved me back to my unlucky table, 16, at seat seven. It was definitely the table to be at, with only two players I recognized: Bo "Legato" Sehlstedt in seat four and "S.K." Senthilkumar in seat five on my right. Then John Phan arrived 90 minutes late in seat three. I got pocket Aces cracked by King-Queen but only lost a small pot, taking me down to 12,650 at the first break.
I struggled to chip up to 13,025 in the next two levels but was down to 10,575 when we redrew at 18. I got table 12, seat four, and had the two loosest players in the room on my right: John Phan in seat two and Pete Lawson in seat three. Joe Awada was in seat one and Dan Pugliese seat eight. All I had to do was pick up a hand as the two young guns were entering at least half the pots. I chipped back up to 14,300 at the dinner break.
When we got back John Phan made a late-position raise and Pete Lawson reraised on the cutoff. I found pocket Queens on the button and while I could consider laying them down against some players there was no way I could against those two. John mucked but Pete called with pocket Kings and I was out of the contest in 16th place.
Tomorrow I had the day off and then the next day was the main event.


Bullock County is one of Alabama's best producing counties for deer and wild turkey. Lying in the heart of the Alabama Black Belt, this 337 acre tract is a great example of what Bullock County is all about.This tract is stocked with nice pine and hardwood timber. The hunting on this property is exceptional and has consistently produced big deer and turkeys. This property lies just south of Highway 82 in Hector, in close proximity to Montgomery and Union Springs, Alabama. Call Eddie Carlson today at 334-201-5599 to learn more about the property or set up a property viewing!
When a tract of land has undergone its' final harvest, it is important to have a plan in place for the next rotation. We often recommend waiting 8 months to a year between cutting timber and replanting to avoid seedling mortality from the Pales Weevil. Although this weevil rarely causes trouble, it is certainly a smart management practice. Most tracts that we plant this year will be loblolly pine. Loblollys make great plantation trees and can be ready for a first thinning as early as 12 years of age. We will plant some slash pine and longleaf pine this year as well due to differing soil types as well as differing landowner objectives.
Here are a couple of shots from tree planting so far. We are planting over a million seedlings this year in Alabama!
There are hundreds of ways to help maintain a healthy forest. One of the major practices that we perform every year is cutting timber. We help our clients decide when the best time for them to cut timber would be based on their personal objectives, and then perform our timber sale.
After the timber is sold and the trees are cut down, there is still much to do. If the harvest involved a clearcut, we must think about raking up slash with our dozier, burning the slash, and replanting the stand. If we are just thinning a tract we still want to clean the roads and debris in the woods as much as the landowner desires.
One practice that we are working on this time of year is burning off the logging ramps. When trees are processed in the woods, everything that does not go onto the logging truck is left in the woods. This includes limbs, bark, cat faced butts of logs, deformed sections of the tree that couldn't be taken to the mill, and tops of trees. We ask the logger to pile all this debris so that we can burn it when the time is right.
When is the time right? There are several factors that go into a successful fire of this kind of magnitude. To begin, never set fire without good fire lanes. Managing big fires takes having the right equipment. We rarely set fires without a bulldozer or tractor, ATVs, water tanks and hoses, drip torches, and sufficient manpower.
We give these piles a few months to dry up and be ready to burn. We then wait for the right day/ night to burn which includes high humidity, low winds, and low air temperatures. These conditions will minimize chances for fires escaping or embers lighting adjacent woods on fire. These kinds of fires are magnificent to watch and difficult to capture in a picture.

criterionsnob wrote: This Janus trailer for the Wenders retrospective includes Pina and The Million Dollar Hotel, which are not part of the current Janus retrospective tour.
It also doesn't showcase Buena Vista Social Club at all, event though it's mentioned on the Janus poster.
Wim Wenders is cinema's preeminent poet of the open road, soulfully following the journeys of people as they search for themselves. During his over-forty-year career, Wenders has directed films in his native Germany and around the globe, making dramas both intense and whimsical, mysteries, fantasies, and documentaries. With this retrospective of nine of his films—from early works of the New German Cinema (Alice in the Cities, Kings of the Road) to the art-house 1980s blockbusters that made him a household name (Paris, Texas; Wings of Desire)—audiences can rediscover Wenders's vast cinematic world. Presented by Janus Films and the Wim Wenders Stiftung.
The Brattle Theatre in Cambridge is showing the retrospective, and one of the screenings is a Wim Wenders Shorts Program that doesn't seem to be listed on the Janus page.
Includes Wim Wenders' early short films: SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN (1968), SILVER CITY REVISITED (1969), POLICE FILM (1969), ALABAMA (2000 LIGHT YEARS) (1969), 3 AMERICAN LPs (1969).
Perhaps if a box set comes out these would be included.
Just saw Until the End of the World for the first time last night, on the big screen at the Castro in SF. It was the full 295 minute "director's cut". I suspect this release will be a revelation for people who have seen the film before in a truncated version as this one is projected full frame (1.44:1 from my calculations from the screen grabs). I can't imagine this being matted down to 1.78 or 1.85 as all previous releases have apparently been (even the recent DVD "director's cut"), as the imagery is just gorgeous and the film itself seems perfectly framed with the more open image.
I hope to get some thoughts down soon here on this sprawling film. I don't think it entirely works but is well worth the time and I found it engrossing throughout. The restoration is stunning. And by all means, see it projected on a large screen if you possibly can. So glad I did.
For anybody who happens to be in Berlin over the next few months, the Deutsche Kinemathek currently hosts an exhibition on Robby Müller which moved here from Amsterdam. It's small but beautifully curated and well worth it. It made me want to check out Wenders early films again, a couple of which I've never seen.
Unfortunately it's not English friendly but I also got hold of a German blu-ray box set which features 4K restaurantions of all the feature films by Wenders which I care to own. It contains the road trilogy plus The American Friend and The Goalies Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, which I watched last night. Never seen it before because it was previously unavailable due to music clearance issues. Its nihilistic existentialism and possibly problematic take on male/female dynamics are very much of it's time but I enjoyed it a lot and Müllers style, is already on display. They cleared some of the music rights, but in some cases Wenders recorded new songs to be able to rerelease the film, because rights for the likes of Elvis Presley were not affordable. I'll be working my way through the films chronologically.
Warming-up for the 4K re-release of Wings of Desire in 2018 !
We wish you a peaceful and playful winter break. See you then!
Also, Wenders's speech at the European Film Awards, condemning the resurgence of nationalism as "the oldest and worst European disease."

I have been in the accounting profession for many years and my practice is growing steadily through referrals and word of mouth recommendation by our clients. I thought digital marketing was just a fad and not suitable for accounting. MBC introduced me to educational marketing strategy. Now, the major task I do in my practice now is to find talents to handle these non-stop clients coming to us; they keep coming even when we increased our fees. Thank you MBC for transforming my business.


Carol Baker, curriculum director for science and music at District 218, says hyperconnectivity hasn't just made cheating easier, it's altered students' mindsets as to whether it's even wrong.
Heloise Pechan's heart rose when she read the essay one of her students, a seemingly uninterested high school sophomore, had turned in for a class assignment on "To Kill a Mockingbird." The paper was clear, logical and well written — a sign, she thought, that she had gotten through to the boy.
Pechan, then substitute teaching at a McHenry County high school, went to Google, typed the paper's first sentence ("Kind and understanding, strict but fair, Atticus Finch embodies everything that a father should be") and there it was: The entire essay had been lifted from an online paper mill.
"I went from amazement and excitement to 'Oh my God' in the space of a half-second," Pechan recalled.
That feeling is going around a lot these days. As technology puts massive computing power and the near-sum of human knowledge within a few taps of a touch screen, educators and students say young people are finding new and increasingly devious ways to cheat.
They're going to websites that calculate the answers for their math homework. They're snapping covert photographs of exams and forwarding them to dozens of friends. They're sneaking cheat sheets into the memory banks of their calculators.
Isha Jog, 17, a senior at Hoffman Estates High School, said she has even seen some of her peers getting quiz answers off their cellphones — while the quiz is in progress.
At the same time, technology also is helping to foil digital desperadoes. Teachers are running essays though automated plagiarism detectors. They're using systems that allow them to observe what students are doing with their wireless classroom calculators. And they're using programs to shuffle test questions so every class gets a different version.
Still, experts say cheaters have the upper hand, leaving some educators to look for teaching techniques that are harder to game. But in the file-sharing, cut-and-paste world enabled by the Internet, some say the biggest challenge might be convincing students that what they're doing is wrong.
"I definitely think there's a mindset problem," said Carol Baker, curriculum director for science and music at School District 218, serving Oak Lawn and nearby suburbs, and president of the Illinois Science Teachers Association. "Today, kids are used to obtaining any kind of information they want (online). There are so many things that are free out there. I think kids don't have the same sense of, 'Gee, it's wrong to take something that somebody else wrote.' The Internet encourages all of us to do that."
Eric Anderman, a professor of educational psychology at Ohio State University, has studied student cheating. He says that while it's hard to nail down statistics on its prevalence, the best estimate is that up to 85 percent of high school students have cheated at least once.
It's unclear how digital technology has affected teens' willingness to cheat, he said. What is clear is that it has made dishonesty a lot easier.
"If you have 30 kids in a classroom, it's not easy to catch them," he said. "There's only so much one person can do. The kids really can get away with it."
Students interviewed by the Tribune say the Web has made homework a snap. WolframAlpha can instantly solve the most complicated equations, while Yahoo! Answers is a bazaar of solutions. York High School junior Kathleen O'Brien said some students post homework answers on blogs, too.
"Sometimes entire answer sheets for work sheets can be found online," she said.
As for tests, suburban high school biology teacher Jason Crean said he has heard about students texting exam questions to friends who have his class later in the day. In response, he now makes multiple versions of his tests, a step that has doubled or tripled his preparation time.
He said cheating seems to have become a social obligation that students strive to meet without considering the harm of their actions — not least to themselves.
"If they learn anything in my class, I want them to learn to do things for themselves," he said. "That's a lesson they have to learn for life, and I don't want them to learn it the hard way after they've left. They need to think and solve problems … and the technology is taking away from that."
Some are trying to find technological solutions to cheating. The College Board, burned by a scandal earlier this year in which Long Island students were paid to take the SAT for others, will soon require students to provide their photographs — typically by digital upload — before taking the test. The photos will later be sent to the test-taker's high school to thwart any would-be impersonators. The ACT is adopting a similar tactic for those who take the test away from their schools.
Back in the classroom, some teachers rely on turnitin.com, a website that, for $2 per student per year, will check essays against the Internet, 30 million journal articles and 250 million archived student papers to uncover possible plagiarism. Spokesman Chris Harrick said 10,000 schools use the service.
But Gary Anderson, who teaches English at Fremd High School in Palatine, said such websites create an atmosphere of mistrust. The better response, he said, is to think up techniques that will foil copying, such as requiring literary essays to include examples from a student's own life.
"You can prevent so much plagiarism and cheating simply by the kind of assignments we do," he said. "A three-page assignment you can find on the Internet isn't an assignment worth doing."
Math teacher Natalie Jakucyn of Glenbrook South High School in Glenview takes a more basic approach — her students must hand in their cellphones before tests — but agrees that imaginative long-term solutions are needed.
"What the educator needs to do is adapt to the age of technology and change the question," she said. "Maybe what (students) are learning should change. Maybe how they're learning should change. Now the challenge to me is to match that technology and say what I'm doing needs to change."
Meanwhile, the temptation to cut corners is likely to remain strong.
Aashna Patel, 16, a junior at Lake Park High School in Roselle, said digital technology has made cheating so easy that giving answers to friends — even mere Facebook friends — has become an expectation among many students. And Fremd junior Tyler Raap, 16, said the pressure to achieve at his competitive school often overwhelms his peers' sense of ethics.
"Teachers always give you the whole moral thing, but kids just want to get good grades," he said.
Anderman, the Ohio State researcher, said one thing has proved to cut down on cheating, but installing it would require a sharp cultural change in an educational system that is placing ever more importance on test results.
"The bottom line in our research is pretty simple," he said. "Where teachers are really emphasizing the test, you're more likely to get cheating. When teachers are emphasizing the learning more than the test, you get less cheating."

Full electric buildings
Electricity is the most clean and secure form of energy, and in the future it will become even more central to the energy system. The second electricity revolution has begun with full electric buildings, where all energy needs are met with heat pumps, electric radiators, electric ovens and hobs, electric water heating and air conditioning.
Through its subsidiary Chilectra, Enel has carried out such a project in Chile with construction and real estate firms, constructing residential buildings that are designed not to use gas for any purpose. That means that there are no pipes, no connections to the gas network, no boilers or ventilation ducts. Instead their roofs have solar panels which when combined with electricity storage systems, ensure energy supplies even when there is a blackout or network disruption.
The first and most obvious advantage is that there is no risk of gas leaks, improving the safety of the buildings and benefiting the health of their inhabitants. Meanwhile, avoiding the use of gas pipes and ventilation ducts and by applying modern efficiency techniques could lead to savings in the construction phase of up to 30 percent, while also saving space that can be used in other ways.
Customers benefit by their being a single supplier and a single bill, while also cutting the time and expense needed for regular checks on the safety of gas, boiler maintenance and the heating circuit.

Dirty data might cost you more than you realize. Typos, outdated or incomplete information, spam traps, and other threats mean your messages don't reach their intended recipients. This will cost you in immediate campaign ROI as well as lifetime customer value. In the worst case scenario, dirty data will land you on a blacklist, resulting in pricey remediation and the inability to communicate with customers, prospects, and possibly your internal team. Routinely cleaning your database can avoid many of these headaches altogether.
Here are the four best practices for cleaning your current database and maintaining data acquisition best practices.
Clean your database. Choose a provider, like Webbula, who can remove threats from your list and validate your data. This will ensure that your email addresses are deliverable and that information such as phone numbers, street addresses, behaviors, and segments are accurate.
Overlay Transactional data. Once you have the results of the database cleansing processing, you should utilize your own transactional data to help put the cleanse results into context. Combining the signals from a professional cleaning provider like Webbula with your historical transactional data is the most powerful way to remove harmful elements from your dataset.
Enhance your list. Now that you have a squeaky clean list, you can make it even better by adding information about your prospects and customers. Data enhancement can fill in any gaps or provide additional insights, such as behaviors, interest groups, demographics, and more.
Continually audit. Regularly cleanse any new data that comes into your database to avoid typos, threats, and other inaccuracies. And don't forget to routinely clean existing data to avoid issues like disposable domains, spam traps, or changes of address.
Dirty data hurts your reputation and your bottom line. Clean data, however, allows for highly personalized messaging to reach your targets with relevant offers that drive revenues. Contact Webbula today to learn more about the benefits of clean, verified data.


OK, so we covered how to optimise your pages for specific keywords in the previous on-page SEO article. In this second in the series 'SEO Made Simple' we look at off-site SEO factors. This means the SEO activities we can take on the wider web and not on our website.
The main element of off-site SEO is links back to your website. These are links from other websites that when clicked open up a page on your website.
Link quality is far more important than link quantity.
Now, let me clarify what that means. Hundreds of low quality backlinks to your site won't be worth as much as a small number from relevant and well-ranked websites.
So how do we check if a website is well ranked or relevant? The simple is answer is to look at the Google Page Rank (PR), which is a scale from 0 to 10. The easiest way to do this is to download and install the free Google Toolbar for your browser. From there you can switch on the page rank feature which gives you a little box in the toolbar.
When that's done you can see the page rank for each website page you visit. The main thing about links is that the higher the page rank of the linking website the better.
The Google page rank goes up by a factor of ten. A page rank of 1 is ten times more important than 0 and 2 is ten times more important than1. So, to do the maths, you'd need 100 links from a 0 website for each 2 website and so on. It's a bit more complex than that but in reality but that's about the gist of it. Either way, you should aim for well ranked sites.
Something else to take into account is the content of the site linking back to you. Always try and get links from sites that have content around your subject. So, if your website is about antique teapots, try and get links from other well ranked sites about teapots.
A quick and easy way to find relevant and well-ranked sites is to simply put the search terms you're interested in, such as 'antique teapots', into a search engine and examine what comes up. You can click on the first few pages and see what their page rank is on the Google Toolbar.
Another useful feature of the Google Toolbar is that when you click on the little down arrow next to the page rank there's an option called 'backward links'. Clicking on this will give you a list of websites that link to the site you've been looking at. This means that if your competitors are ranking well, you can take a look at where their links are coming from and try and get similar links back to your website. Again, always try and get links from quality sites rather than just any old links.
There are loads of different places you can get links back to your website but the key is to build up links consistently over a period of time. You should also try and keep a record of links that you build to track your progress.
And finally: link building takes time and should be a part of your long-term website marketing strategy. You probably wouldn't be able to sit for hours on end each day just building links. Our rule of thumb is to get a minimum of 10 quality links, from a variety of sources, each week.
Let us know if you've any useful ideas on link building by making a comment below.

NEW DELHI -- For several weeks now, a small Hindu fringe group in India has been attracting attention around the world because of its plans to erect a bust in honor of Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi in 1948.
Organizers had chosen Friday, the 67th anniversary of the freedom fighter's death, as the big day. They had a bust of assassin Godse ready to go — and had even conducted a special purification ritual at the temple spot in the northern city of Meerut, 43 miles northeast of New Delhi. They demanded that Friday be declared as a "day of courage" across India, to mark what they regard was Godse's brave act.
But on Friday, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha said they were prohibited from leaving their office to implement the plan. Police, fearing that the move could prompt community tension, also sealed the site with ropes and stuck a prohibitory notice on the wall that barred any installation activity.
"Don't be surprised if you come across a statue of #Godse in #temples in your neighbourhood http://t.co/zqEdZvKfYZ pic.twitter.com/f2dNeREh4i"
The move has confounded many in India -- and around the world. It would be like a group of Americans threatening to erect a statue of James Earl Ray, who killed Martin Luther King, or John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Abraham Lincoln.
Yet this is not the first time the group has vented its desire to celebrate Godse. They did the same when Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was last in power more than a decade ago.
Members of Agarwaal's group consider Godse a patriot because he killed the man they hold responsible for the country's violent partition into Hindu-majority India and Muslim majority Pakistan in 1947. Godse was a member of the Hindu-pride group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, but quit in the early 1940s. Modi too began his early political career as a member of the group.
In December, Sakshi Maharaj, a lawmaker from Modi's party, called Godse a patriot. A day later he apologised amid loud opposition. In recent weeks, many Hindu fringe groups have raised contentious issues like religious conversions. Maharaj also urged Hindu women to have four children to keep up with the growing number of Muslims.

S Korea churches plan joint 'Korean Christian Museum' in Seoul
Kyle Anderson | Monday, June 16 2014
(Credit: National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK))Museum curator Dr. Kwon-jeong Kim, right, highlights important questions for the establishment of a Korean Christian Museum. To his left sits Dr. Heung-Soo Kim and on his far left Dr. Hee-kuk Lim in this photo taken at the first open seminar discussing the museum on May 30, 2014.
Two committees, consisting of well-known scholars and church leaders in South Korea, recently convened to discuss steadily progressing plans for a joint Korean Christian Museum in the nation's sprawling capital, Seoul.
On May 30, the "Korean Christian Museum Establishment Committee" chaired by Rev. Dr. Young-Hoon Lee, and the "Historical Materials Committee" chaired by Dr. Heung-Soo Kim, Professor of Church History, convened in Zoe Hall at the Christian Center in Yeonji, Seoul, to hold an open seminar regarding the establishment of the museum.
The open seminar was entitled: "The Korean Christian Museum: What should it contain, and how?" and was held in cooperation with the National Council of Churches in Korea (NCCK), according to reports by Veritas (Korean).
During the seminar, Dr. Kwon-jeong Kim, Curator at the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, highlighted important questions such as how the museum can reveal the identity of Korean Christianity, how to balance universality and specificity in exhibitions, and how to deepen and strengthen understanding of the history of Christianity in Korea.

The seminar also brought up museum marketing aspects, such as how it could attract attention inside and outside of churches, and how to create a vivid place for children and teens to experience history.
In a presentation called, "Preserving history is preparation for the future," Dr. Hee-kuk Lim, Professor at Jangshin University, introduced as an example the "Presbyterian Historical Society" in Philadelphia, U.S.A.
The Presbyterian Historical Society, the national archive of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), boasts more than 250,000 titles and 250 paintings, spanning more than 500 years of Presbyterian history, and Dr. Lim suggested that similar methods and procedures could be implemented in a museum exhibiting Korean Christian history.
The NCCK General Secretary, Young-Joo Kim commented on the meeting that, "We [have] become keenly aware how important [it is] to live knowing the history," and, "if we put this on the backburner, our existence will be forgotten by itself, and I pray and hope that this first start today may be an opportunity to enrich the establishment of the Korean Christian Museum."
In a committee meeting a week earlier, the location of the museum was decided as the Gangnam district in downtown Seoul.
The Korean Christian Museum will be developed as a joint project between several Korean churches and denominations.
The chairman of the Establishment Committee, Rev. Lee, 59, is better known as the pastor of the 830,000-member Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, widely regarded as the largest church in the world. He took over as the Pentecostal church's lead pastor following the retirement of founder Rev. Dr. David Yonggi Cho, 78.
South Korea is one of the most Christian countries in Asia, with Protestants making up approximately 18.3 percent of the population, and Catholics another 10.9 percent bringing the total Christian population to 29.2 percent, according to 2007 numbers.
Christians have had a notable influence on South Korean society, and education in particular, having started 293 schools and 40 universities, including three of the country's top five universities.
Sitting President Park Geun-Hye, who became South Korea's first female president in 2013, is a practicing Catholic, just as 1998-2003 predecessor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Kim Dae-jung, who died of natural causes in 2009.
(Credit: Korean Christian Museum)The Korean Christian Museum logo, symbolizing the history and inheritance of the Korean church through the concept of "Connection and Weaving." The shape is based on the cross, connecting and weaving the history and faith of Korean churches. The logo also expresses Jesus Christ as Lord of all history, with the image of Jesus stretching his arms out.
