Deception by employers wreaks havoc with migrants' mental health – Amnesty
Deception by employers and anxiety about work are leading causes of mental illness among Qatar's migrant domestic workers, according to a new report by Amnesty International.
'My sleep is my break': exploitation of domestic workers in Qatar, published earlier this week, says that Qatar is failing to protect migrant domestic workers from physical, psychological and sexual abuse at the hands of their employers - and from forced labour.
Around 84,000 migrant women work as housemaids, nannies and carers in Qatar. Most are from South and Southeast Asia, and Africa.
Contract substitution (forcing migrants to take on work that is different from what they agreed to in their contracts) is rife in Qatar, and has a disastrous impact on the psychological well-being of migrant women, according to the report.
Officials at Hamad Hospital in Doha told Amnesty International researchers that around 30 migrant domestic workers are admitted to the psychiatric unit each year - a number that is greater than for women any other profession. Suicide attempts were the most common reason for admission, and doctors believe that deception about the nature of their employment in Qatar is a leading cause of depression and anxiety.
The report argues that it is not just Qataris that are guilty of abusing domestic workers, but expatriate families from range of cultural backgrounds too. A 26 year old interviewee reports being woken at 4:30am by her European employer on a regular basis to prepare breakfast and clean the kitchen, and being forced to work well in excess of the eight hours per day that she agreed in her contract.
The report also highlights issues including rape of female workers, the criminalisation of migrants' romantic relations while resident in Qatar, and the restrictive Kafala system, which gives employers an exceptionally high degree of control over the lives of employees.
Audrey Gaughran, Amnesty International's Global Issues Director, said: "International attention on the 2022 FIFA World Cup has thrown a spotlight on the plight of migrant construction workers in Qatar. However, the complete absence of protections for domestic workers' labour rights, and the fact that they are isolated in employers' homes, leaves them exposed to abuse to an even greater extent," said Audrey Gaughran.
"Promises by the government to protect domestic workers' labour rights have so far not amounted to anything. Qatar must stop dragging its feet over this and guarantee domestic workers legal protection for basic rights immediately."

Justin Bieber Turned Himself in for Donkey Punching a Limo Driver
By Larry Putzgerald January 30, 2014
After entering a not guilty plea in Florida to charges of driving under the influence and drag racing, Justin Bieber turned himself in to Toronto police on Wednesday for an assault charge stemming from an incident last month.
According to allegations, Bieber and five friends were picked up by a limo from a club in the early morning of Dec. 30. While on their way to the hotel, there was an argument and one of them hit the limo driver in the back of the head several times.
"The Toronto Police Service requested that Justin Bieber appear in Toronto today to face an allegation of assault relating to an incident on December 29, 2013. We anticipate that this matter will be treated as a summary offense, the equivalent of a misdemeanor in the United States," he said in a statement.
Of course Bieber was the one who punched him. Who else would be enough of a little bitch and punch a guy who had his back turned and couldn't defend himself. The only time Bieber would ever fight someone is if the other guy doesn't know he's in a fight.

Q: mktime creates a syntax error when used inside a class? Please could someone tell me why mktime is giving an error inside a class??
<?php

$time_Stamp = mktime(6,30,0);

echo strftime("%H:%M",$time_Stamp);

?>

reports 6:30
<?php

    class Test_Time{

        private $time_Stamp = mktime(6,30,0);

    }

    ?>

reports Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\sandbox\general\mktime.php on line 5

A:
According to the PHP docs, one can initialize properties in classes
  with the following restriction:
"This declaration may include an initialization, but this
  initialization must be a constant value--that is, it must be able to
  be evaluated at compile time and must not depend on run-time
  information in order to be evaluated."

Try this
<?php

class Test_Time{

    private $time_Stamp;
   function __construct()
   {
        $this->time_Stamp = mktime(6,30,0);

         echo strftime("%H:%M",$this->time_Stamp);
   }
}
?>

A: You cannot evaluate expressions to determine the default values of class members. Put mktime in the constructor instead:
class Foo {
    private $bar;
    public function __construct() {
        $this->bar = mktime(6, 30, 0);
    }
}

A: You can't execute code directly inside a class. It has to be inside a function which is called:
<?php
    class Test_Time
    {
        private $time_Stamp;
        function showTime()
        {
            $this->time_stamp=mktime(6,30,0);
            echo strftime("%H:%M",$this->time_Stamp);
        }
    }

    $var=new Test_Time();
    $var->showTime();

?>

This could be a __construct() function, but at some point the class must be instanciated.
The reason for this is that a class isn't actually anything unless a variable is defined as an object of that class. Until then, it is just a framework waiting be be used.

A: <?php
class Test_Time{

    private $time_Stamp;

    function __construct(){
        $this->time_Stamp = mktime(6, 30, 0);
    }

    function printTime(){
        echo strftime("%H:%M", $this->time_Stamp);
    }
}

//example usage
$test = new Test_Time();
$test->printTime();
?>

A: You are directly echoing in a class, do it in method or a constructer instead
<?php

class Test_Time{

   function __construct(){

    $time_Stamp = mktime(6,30,0);

    echo strftime("%H:%M",$time_Stamp);
    }

}

?>

We are Three Years Younger, two sisters from Suffolk. When we were at secondary school, after having written a couple of songs individually, we decided to start writing songs together, and collaboratively created 'Ghost Ship'.
We would consider ourselves as a mixture of genres (largely pop, rock & folk), but are always looking for experimental ways of creating new sounds that suit our voices (we really love to harmonise!)
As sisters, partners and best friends (well, apart from the occasional argument) we feel as though music is what has tied us together. Up to this point in our career, we have experienced everything together – the nerves before our first gig, and then before our first festival; the shared joy of winning the Under 18s Cambridge Band Competition and Kimberley Rew Award, and most importantly, the elation we have always felt when we sing together.
This year we are playing at Camp Bestival, Strawberry Fair and the Big Weekend Stage in Cambridge. If you want to see us live, have a look on the 'Events' page.
Some of our singles are available on YouTube along with some of our live performances. We have many more songs in the pipeline, several of which have got us completely inspired and can't wait to produce. If you'd like to keep up with what's going on in our lives, please subscribe to our Twitter and Instagram accounts (links above).
We hope to be releasing our first full album at the end of the summer, but until then, you can find our stuff on YouTube and SoundCloud.


Colleges and universities always have been focal points of change. The mixture of academic research, student activism and institutional clout has allowed campus communities to promote widespread technical and social transformations. During the last few years, a few of these institutions have begun to lead in an entirely new area – renewable energy. In September, the University of California system announced an 80 megawatt (MW) procurement contract for off-site solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity, enough to power nearly 13,000 homes.
While this is the largest power purchase agreement on record for a university , it was not the first. Back in 2008, the University of Oklahoma signed an agreement with Oklahoma Gas & Electric to purchase 100 percent renewable electricity, spurring the development of a 44-turbine wind farm. Then, in 2012, Ohio State University signed a 20-year power purchase agreement for 50 MW of wind power. This year, George Washington University and American University teamed up, along with George Washington University Hospital, to secure 52 MW of solar PV from Duke Energy Renewables. Meanwhile, many campuses have installed significant onsite resources. Three universities in particular – Arizona State, Rutgers and Mount Saint Mary's – have installed more than 57 MW of solar PV combined , or enough to power more than 9,000 U.S. homes.
Recent transactions highlight just how competitive renewable power can be. Ohio State estimated its wind transaction would save the university $1 million in the first year alone. Similarly, American said that its renewable energy contract "provides fixed pricing for solar energy at a lower total price than current power solutions." When you start to look at the recent, all-time-low wind and solar prices per kilowatt-hour, it's easy to see how these deals can be cost-effective.
In 2013, new wind projects in the U.S. had an average wholesale price of just $0.025/kWh (PDF) . Meanwhile, recent wholesale solar power purchase agreements have reached $0.05/kWh or lower (PDF) . Add in the fact that these deals allow buyers to lock in low prices for 20 years or more, and the savings really start to add up. Ultimately, you don't need an Ivy League endowment to buy a lot of renewable energy — many leaders are public universities that have discovered it's a sound economic investment.
Since 2007, the American Colleges and Universities Presidents' Climate Commitment has encouraged nearly 700 institutions of higher education to commit to achieving carbon neutrality within a defined timeframe. These commitments to reach carbon neutrality, sometimes by 2025 or earlier, are frequently cited as key components of a university's decision to purchase renewable energy. A few small colleges already have achieved carbon neutrality, most recently Colby College in Maine.
Colleges and universities are also responding to a growing demand from their key stakeholders. Students and faculty around the country are already campaigning for increasing university sustainability programs , and these topics are also on the minds of prospective students. In a 2014 Princeton Review survey of student applicants, "61 percent said having information about a college's commitment to the environment would impact their decision to apply to or attend a school." Information about campuses' sustainability track records, provided through programs such as AASHE's STARS initiative , have brought additional transparency to these efforts and allowed for holistic sustainability rankings. Moreover, for both faculty and students, these renewables projects open up research opportunities. This was particularly true for Ohio State, which employed more than 400 energy researchers in 2013.
At RMI, we've shown time and again that renewable energy is held back not by technical limitations but rather by societal inertia, outdated regulations and institutional barriers. Universities, by design, are hubs for experimentation and pushing beyond the norms of the day. As Arizona State's George Basile observed, "When society doesn't know how to do something, universities are where you go to solve those problems." In addition, universities' relatively stable growth, long-term ownership of facilities and intellectual atmosphere provide an ideal testing ground for new approaches.
An ongoing engagement with the University of North Carolina system through their annual conference to help the state achieve $1 billion in energy cost savings through energy efficiency and renewables over 20 years .
More important, universities matter because they are educating the future leaders and members of our society. Integrating energy efficiency and renewables into a school's culture exposes each wave of students to more efficient and sustainable processes, systems and behaviors. That's social change. That's legacy. That's scale.
Whether you're a student, professor or alumnus, it looks as though universities still have plenty left to teach us.

Flying The Coop
I'm becoming increasingly worried about Astros manager Cecil Cooper's mental health.
Last year, despite rumors that he was alienating his veteran players, Cooper rode the team to a 86-75 record, third in the division and 3.5 games out of the NL Wild Card. They outperformed Pythagoras by nine wins – and one way to explain a team outperforming their Pythagorean W-L% almost certainly has to be managerial skill.
There were definite moments, however, where Cooper seemed to be exceedingly out of his element. This offseason has brought his bipolar disorder into sharper focus. During the team's extended winless streak during Spring Training, Cooper began to lose his mind. On March 10, Alyson Footer quoted him as saying "I don't have any answers about why this is happening, unless someone put the hex on us," and that "this is bordering on ridiculous."
That was when they were 1-10-1. A hex? Coop, no one put a hex on the team. It's a veteran team, missing key players to the WBC, with very little organizational depth to help them hold leads late in games, once the major leaguers are gone. There's no hex, Coop.
The next day was a day off, and Cooper said he went golfing because he "had to hit something." Then he bemoaned the team's low batting average, saying "We're hitting .220 as a team in Spring Training. No one hits .220 in Spring Training. Come on. Two hundred. Are you kidding me?"
Then, on March 17, Alyson posted one of the most disturbing quotes of the offseason: "I'm not concerned about our pitching. I'm concerned about the hitting." Not concerned about a rotation that includes such luminaries as Brian Moehler, Russ Ortiz, and Mike Hampton in the starting rotation, spelled by Brandon Backe and Jose Capellan? You're more concerned about the hitting of a team that features Lance Berkman, Miguel Tejada, Carlos Lee, and Hunter Pence?
This is also when the rumblings of the players, led by Berkman, began to seep out. In sharp contrast to Cooper's daily rants, Berkman and the other players didn't seem to be paying any attention at all. It became clearer and clearer that Cooper and his staff were most assuredly not on the same page as their players – at least not their veteran players.
His inability to coach big leaguers became showed itself when Footer quoted him as saying, "I keep calling them out and nobody seems to step up. That's all I can
tell you, we need somebody to step up and nobody's stepping up."
Then the Astros started to win, at which point Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com quoted Cooper as saying, "We should win 90 games, without question. We have a terrific bullpen. We have one of the best closers in the game. We've got the
ace in the National League. We've got three of the best offensive
players at their position. We've got, if not the best, then one of the
top catchers in baseball.
"I mean, c'mon. We've got what it takes. You're telling me we're not going to win that many games?"
FanGraphs reprinted the quote in their article "Cecil the Delusional." I understand wanting to pump your team up, but we should win ninety games? Without question? "Delusional" is definitely the right word, and kudos to Eric Seidman at FanGraphs for nailing it.
So Cooper is on the same page as neither the players nor reality.
On March 13, Coop said "…we thought we didn't have catching. That was kind of the general consensus of people on the outside.
And for the most part, there were some people here that didn't think
that. But I had a chance to see five guys catch, and I'm very confident
in all five guys. They
all can catch and throw. And they receive pretty well… To me, I
think our catching is in pretty good hands for a long, long time." Three days later, the report surfaced that the Astros had signed Ivan Rodriguez, pending the end of his WBC service and a physical.
That's when it became clearer that Cooper was also not on the same page as the front office, in addition to the players or reality.
Perhaps the most concerning thing, however, has been the way he's handled the David Newhan situation in Spring Training camp this year. Newhan was on the 2008 squad, and had a decent September (.281/.314/.344) to help the team in its final playoff push. He was released and subsequently re-signed as the Astros began to look into utility infielder options to replace the departed Mark Loretta.
Cooper, convinced that the utility infielder needed to be a shortstop, allowing them to spell Miguel Tejada more often. Despite the obvious truth that spelling Kazuo Matsui (who has never been able to string together even 115 games in a season) should be a priority over Tejada (who has played in fewer than 150 games only once since 1999), Cooper wanted a shortstop who could play other positions, rather than an infielder who could play shortstop.
Which is fine, if that's what he wants, but he basically took Newhan out of the running without giving him a chance. Among quotes like, "I have to say this, there's a difference between a pure shortstop who
can play over there and someone who can maybe go and stand over there,
really. We have to be able to play it," he didnt' even play Newhan at shortstop to give him the chance to play himself out of contention.
He simply wrote him off. Newhan told Cooper he felt comfortable playing there, despite his major league inexperience. He's been on rosters behind Miguel Tejada (Houston and Baltimore,) Jimmy Rollins (Philadelphia), and Jose Reyes (Mets). "There's a whole bunch of other guys I have to look at there. He did tell me he could play it. We'll cross that bridge when we
get to it," was Cooper's response.
He even said that there were six others to look at – Jason Smith, Tommy Manzella, Edwin Maysonet, Blum, Drew Sutton and Matt Kata – with shorstop experience, pushing Newhan to seventh.
Okay, fine, put him as seventh coming into the season, but give him a shot. The worst part was that, despite writing him off so early, was that the Astros then waited until March 29 to release him, seriously affecting his ability to get a job somewhere else.
I have to tell you, I have not been overly impressed with Cooper during his tenure as the Astros manager so far, and this Spring Training has been one enormous train wreck.

Lightning I-Rod
I was happy to see that (Ivan) Rodriguez is no longer mentioning the
Astros as the teams who are supposedly interested in him. The latest
news I read listed only the Mets and Marlins. That is good, because
after checking with Ed Wade yet again today, I can assure you the
Astros are not pursuing him. And judging from the irritated look on his
face, I can also assure you I won't be asking him about Pudge again
anytime soon. At least not for two weeks. Or maybe 10 days. At the very
least, I'll wait a week.
Oh, and he's not bidding on Pedro Martinez, either.
This was from Alyson Footer's blog, Alyson's Footnotes, three days ago. This morning, Roy Oswalt let loose with the scoop that he ran into Rodriguez at Dolphin Stadium during the WBC, and that Rodriguez greeted him with, "Hey, teammate."
I respect and admire Alyson very much, and don't blame her for the misdirection play Wade ran, despite many major media outlets continuing to say that the Astros were talking to Pudge's agent, Scott Boras. If that's how he felt he needed to play it, then so be it.
Yes, following the WBC and a physical, Rodriguez is expected to sign with the Astros (please keep in mind that he has not signed – he is simply expected to.)
On the surface, I have to admit that this makes perfect sense. The Astros' catching situation is a quagmire. Neither Humberto Quintero nor J.R. Towles has separated himself from the admittedly-abysmal pack this spring, and here is one of the best, if not the best catcher of his generation, looking for nothing more than playing time.
And a $1.5m deal, with another $1.5m in possible incentives, doesn't break the bank. Rodriguez comes with a solid resume. He's raking for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. He may have single-handedly carried the Marlins to a World Series championship in 2003. He's probably the best dual offensive-defensive catcher since Johnny Bench. And despite a tumultuous time in New York at the end of 2008, he finished the year going .276/.319/.394, which by far bests the current Astros duo of Towles and Quintero, who went a combined .185/.255/.306 at the big league level.
As far as moves go, it was an instant and decisive upgrade at a reasonable price, and most Astros fans should be thrilled. As for me, I don't really like the move.
My last entry detailed a lot of why this is. Over the past two seasons, Rodriguez has averaged 1.75 Win Shares with his offense and defense. Quintero, almost the very definition of league-average, contributed 0.0. Towles had -0.3. This gives, at the most, a 2-3 game swing. If that 2-3 wins is enough to get us into the playoffs, this is a great move.
If it isn't, we've hurt ourselves in a few ways. First, we've lost money. Without knowing the incentives, let's assume Pudge makes $3m in 2009. Since he's unlikely to make the team significantly more competitive by himself, it's unlikely the attendance figures will increase from 2008. In fact, a decrease in attendance is still more likely. The money going to Rodriguez, a temporary stop-gap measure that may mean the difference between 3rd and 4th place in the weak NL Central, would be far better spent on signing bonuses and development, in my opinion.
Second, assuming we pick up those 2-3 wins, we've hurt ourselves in the 2010 June draft. Last season, a 3-win swing could have hurt a team's draft spot by as many as four draft picks (had Atlanta won three more games, they would have ended up drafting after Detroit, Cincinnati, Colorado, and Kansas City.) Additionally, though Rodriguez is a Type-B Free Agent and therefore doesn't require the surrender of a 2009 draft pick, the Yankees do receive a sandwich pick for him. This means that there will be one more player off the board by the time we get to our second round pick, after what was already going to be the longest first round in history.
If I'm wrong and Pudge helps whip the pitching staff into shape and ignites the offense, batting second in the order and providing multiple opportunities for Berkman, Lee, Tejada, and Pence, propelling us into the playoffs, then I'll be happy to be wrong.
But if all he does is put us into the hunt for a Wild Card late in the season, it will actually have turned out to have been a bad move for a team that needs to re-stock its farm system.
(Note: I was working on an article about the Boston Red Sox to post today. However, due to some unforeseen time constraints and this breaking news, I will have to delay it. I hope to have it completed by the end of the week.)

This week I am creating slides for a presentation I am giving in California later this month. While researching the material, I took a closer look at the history of California's oil industry.
Many people are unaware of California's importance in the U.S. oil industry. In fact, 100 years ago California was the top oil producer in the U.S., responsible at one point for nearly 40 percent of U.S. oil production.
California's oil production rose throughout most of the 20th century, briefly eclipsing one million barrels per day in the early 1980s. Oil production began to decline thereafter peaking in 1985.
The same pattern took place in many other states, and in fact was the case for the entire U.S., where oil production peaked in 1970 and then declined over the next 35 years.
But the shale boom changed the trajectory of U.S. oil production. Oil production that had fallen for decades reversed direction and began to surge about a decade ago. Almost every state with shale oil resources saw a similar surge in production.
In fact, only three major oil-producing states have seen a decline in oil production since 2010: California, Louisiana, and Alaska. One of the graphics I created for my presentation shows the stark contrast between oil production in Texas and California as the shale boom unfolded.
California is missing the shale boom.
During the 1980s and 1990s, oil production in Texas was declining faster than it was in California. Had that trajectory been maintained, oil production in Texas may have fallen below California's in about 2010.
Instead, the shale boom has added nearly 4 million BPD of oil production in Texas. Millions of barrels were added in other states as well, and California began to slide down the ranks of leading oil producers. Just a few years ago California was still in second place, but now it has slipped to sixth, behind Texas, North Dakota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Alaska.
Why did the shale boom leave California behind? California has a significant oil resource in the Monterey Shale. In 2011, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that the Monterey Shale could hold up to 23.9 billion barrels of oil. At that time this was more than the Texas Eagle Ford and North Dakota Bakken Shales combined.
However, the EIA later slashed its estimate of recoverable oil in the Monterey Shale by 96 percent to just 600 million barrels. There are several reasons for this.
The primary reason is that the Monterey Shale is more geologically complex than other shale formations. It is jumbled and folded, which means it can't be as easily exploited by horizontal drilling.
As part of my research, I checked the trajectory and number of wells being drilled in Texas and California. According to the Baker Hughes Interactive Rig Count Map, in early March there were 502 drilling rigs in Texas, with 92 percent of those drilling horizontal wells. In California there were only 15 drilling rigs, with 20 percent drilling horizontal wells. So the geology of the Monterey is the single biggest issue.
The resistance to fracking in California is much greater than in Texas, with more restrictive rules and some localized bans. This is especially true in areas where California's oil resource is under prime agricultural land. Farmers are among those concerned both about the competition for scarce water, and that fracking could potentially contaminate the water supply.
As an aside, I would point out that the aquifers are near the surface, where each year farmers apply thousands of tons of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers directly on the ground. (Source.) There are also highways, cities, and plenty of industrial activity directly above the aquifers. These aquifers are a few hundred feet below the surface, but residents seem more concerned about fracking thousands of feet below the aquifers.
In any case, even if California residents completely embraced the idea of fracking, it is unlikely that the state would experience the kind of boom seen in places like Texas and North Dakota. Geology has conspired against California.
Ironically, had the shale boom never occurred, California would likely be the No. 1 oil-producing state in the country at this point, given that it was No. 2 and declining at a slower rate than Texas. But Californians can console themselves with being the leading producer of solar power in the U.S.


A new DNA data storage system has broken records for information density — but it's the easy versatility of the system that's even more impressive.
James Newman was tired of trying to intuitively understand how modern microprocessors work — so he built his own "megaprocessor," a fully functional CPU with LEDs to show where and how the chip executes data.
Could nanoscale vacuum tubes replace transistors in future devices? Caltech thinks they could, and it's building proof-of-concept devices without the leakage that plagues modern hardware.
IBM is claiming that new breakthroughs could help carbon nanotubes take us past conventional scaling.
Graphene has been hailed as one of the greatest inventions in modern history — yet it hasn't really done much of anything. Why are people still so excited?
Moore's Law is one of the internet's most beloved fables, though few actually know where it comes from or what it says about the future.
A brand new 2D material combines graphene-like conductivity with silicon-like bandgap, which could have applications from computing to solar power.
Intel's new Broadwell has gone under the microscope at chipworks, and the firm has certified that Intel's new core hits its metrics. Broadwell is a full 14nm shrink.


Before a die is thrown all players must agree what will be 'bum' or 'cocky' dice throws. Usually when the dice displaces a counter or flies out of the playing area is 'bum'. A die not landing flat are 'cocky'. In these cases both dice should be thrown again. Three consecutive 'bum' or 'cocky' throws misses that turn.
All players then throw both dice and the highest score wins and that player throws again to begin the game, having the choice of opposite colours, ie red & yellow or green & blue.
A six MUST be thrown to release a counter onto the doorstep square and away around the board in a clockwise direction.
Having taken a counter once around the board, a player must turn into the correct coloured Pipe for that counter and move their counter, exactly on to the coloured triangle (Home).
Any counter reaching Home is removed from the board and out of play.
An exact dice throw is needed to take the counter into Home (either on one die or the combination of both).
If both dice show a higher value than required to get exactly onto Home (and another counter cannot be moved) then a player cannot move.
Throwing a six (or double six), allows another throw to attempt to get Home.
Each player throws both dice in turn and must move, using all dice, if he is able to do so (see rule 9 below).
Each dice can either act on different counters or be added together an act on a single counter.
make a Challenge (see rule 8 below).
Throwing a six allows the player another roll of both dice, but throwing a double six does NOT allow two extra rolls.
Throwing a double six may also allow two counters to be released from Base.
Once a six is used to start a Challenge, the Challenge process continues until it's completed.
If a player lands on a single counter of their opponent, then the landed-on counter is Ucked-Off, ie returned to its Base and must start again.
To be Ucked-off, a counter must be landed-on at the end of a counter's movement (for that dice roll) and not as part of an onward passage of a counter, e.g. 'Player A' throws 6 & 1 and 'Player B's' counter is 6 spaces in front of Player A's counter. 'Player A' cannot choose to move this counter 6, Uck-Off his opponent, then move this counter the remaining 1 square. If 'Player A' cannot move another counter, then he must move 7 squares and land 1 square in-front of 'Player B's' counter). Of course, if 'Player A' can move another counter, he may Uck-Off his opponent and use the 1 to move another counter (or may move this counter 1 and use the 6 elsewhere).
A Blob is formed when two or more counters of the SAME colour occupy the same square.
A player's Blob blocks all their opponents' counters from passing that square.
Any colour of the Blob-owning-player can pass through the Blob.
A Blob of 2 counters can be advanced around the board by throwing doubles.
Blobs which are advanced using double dice can pass or Uck-Off an opponents 2-counter Blob. A Blob of more than 2 counters cannot be passed or removed in this way.
A Mixi-Blob is formed when two or more counters of a player, which are of DIFFERENT colours occupy the same square.
A Mixi-Blob has no blocking powers.
An opposing player can pass a Mixi-Blob, regardless of how many counters are Mixi-Blobbed.
An opposing player can Uck-Off ALL the counters in a Mixi-Blob by landing on it with a single counter.
Mixi-Blobs CANNOT Challenge an opponents Blob.
NB If all your counters are in a Mixi-Blob behind an opposing player's Blob, there is no point in throwing the dice as you cannot do anything.
In order to remove an opponents Blob, a successful Challenge must be completed against the Blob.
A player must have a counter on the square directly behind their opponent's Blob to issue a Challenge.
A player must throw a six to begin a Challenge.
A player does not need to declare a Challenge until he has thrown the dice.
A player cannot move into position AND issue a Challenge in the same turn.
Having thrown a six (or double six) and deciding to Challenge, the player announces (indicating which situation the player is referring to, as there maybe more than one option) "Once at".
Only one six is required to start a Challenge and the second die is ignored, even if a six.
Each subsequent six thrown increases the number of attacks against the blocking Blob, i.e. "Twice at", "Three at" etc.
Double six's count as two attacks after the first throw.
To succeed in the Challenge, a player must throw one more six than there are counters in the Blob. E.g. if 'Player A' has a Blob of 3 counters, then 'Player B' must throw 4 six's to Uck-Off the Blob.
Once a Challenge is started, only the six's thrown count and at least one six must be thrown in each roll to continue the Challenge.
Whether a player succeeds or fails in the Challenge - their turn is over at the end of the Challenge.
If a Challenge is successful, all demolished Blob's counters are sent back to their Home and the attacking counter is moved one pace forward to occupy the Blobs previous square. Only ONE counter is moved forward, irrespective of whether a Blob was making the Challenge.
If a Challenge fails, the Challenging player's counter(s) remains where it is and no other counter can be moved.
To Challenge an opponents Blob on your Base doorstep square, an extra 6 must be thrown (to count as the release from base).
A player Must-Play and use all the dice thrown if possible. For example: A player has thown a 6 and 4. They can move a counter into Home with the six but not move another counter thereafter. Alternatively the six could be used to release a counter from Base (or begin a Challenge) thereby utilising the 4 thrown - then this second alternative must be used - as it uses all dice thrown.
No single player of the team can overtly direct the play of the other.
Each player throws the dice in turn, but cannot move his opponent's counters whilst his are on the board. If a player's counters are all safely in Home, he continues to throw, first to get a six to become active, and then on subsequent turns (or on that turn, if he throws a double six), will move his partners counters as if they were his own. Throwing a double six also allows the now active player to throw again.
A partner may not proactively advise his team player how to play a move, but a player can ASK his partner for advice on how to play a particular move. If the player does ask for advice, he MUST abide by his partner's decision, regardless of the potential outcome. Partners must not consult each other on how a move shall be played.

"Sweetest Thing" is a song by Irish rock band U2. It was originally released as a B-side on the "Where the Streets Have No Name" single in 1987. The song was later re-recorded and re-released as a single in October 1998 for the band's compilation album The Best of 1980–1990.

"Sweetest Thing" became a number-one hit in Ireland, Canada, and Iceland and reached the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the song peaked at number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Writing and recording
The song was written by Bono as an apology to his wife, Ali Hewson, for forgetting her birthday during The Joshua Tree sessions.

In 1998, a new version of the song was recorded for inclusion on the group's greatest hits compilation The Best of 1980–1990. Producer Steve Lillywhite spent five days with the band to re-record vocals and guitar parts.

At Alison's request, profits from the single went to her favoured charity, Chernobyl Children International.

Release
A version by New York gospel choir, The New Voices of Freedom, appears on the soundtrack to the 1988 Bill Murray film Scrooged. It was recorded following U2's performance of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with the choir at Madison Square Garden, which appears on the band's 1988 album Rattle and Hum.

To promote the release of the single in 1998, Island Records distributed "Sweetest Thing" chocolate bars, wrapped to look like the single, throughout Europe. They have become a very valuable collectors item among U2 fans during the 2000s. The song reached number one in Canada, Iceland, and Ireland, number three in the United Kingdom, number six in Australia, number 63 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number nine on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, and number 31 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Live performances
The song made its live debut on the opening night of the Elevation Tour, and was played occasionally over the first and second legs. It was then not played again until the Innocence + Experience Tour, where once again it only made occasional appearances over the course of the tour.

Performances on the Elevation Tour featured Bono playing the piano parts while the Edge played electric guitar. On the Innocence + Experience Tour, it was played on the e-stage in a stripped-down version, with the Edge playing acoustic guitar and Bono joining in on the piano about halfway through the song.

Music video

The video was directed by Kevin Godley. It features Bono taking Hewson on a carriage ride along the Georgian mile in Dublin, from Fitzwilliam Place onto Upper Fitzwilliam Street, enlisting various performers along the way in an effort to apologise to her. The performers featured include Riverdance, Boyzone, Steve Collins, the Artane Boys Band, Chippendales dancers, and the Celtic Knights. The other three members of U2—The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr.—Norman Hewson (Bono's brother) and Dik Evans (The Edge's brother) also appear in the video.

Track listings

The back cover lists the third track simply as a live version of "An Cat Dubh".

The term "copycat crime" implies that the root of a crime can be found in exposure to a live model or media content concerning a prior crime. The four basic components of a copycat crime are a "generator crime" (a media portrayal of a crime or a real-world crime that is the precursor of a subsequent crime), "criminogenic models" (media content or real-world offenders that portray a subsequently copied crime), "copycat criminal" (an individual who commits a crime after being influenced by criminogenic media content, live models, or a combination of the two), and "copycat crime" (a crime whose occurrence or form is influenced by prior exposure to media content and/or live criminal models). The linked crimes are seen as sharing a unique criminogenic dynamic with the first crime serving as a generator for later copycat crimes with substantial elements of the first crime present in the second. The premise of copycat crime is that exposure to a generator crime is the linking mechanism and that the removal of the exposure would eliminate the occurrence or form of the subsequent copycat crime.
There is no theory of copycat crime, but there are four theoretical perspectives that are pertinent. Under the first perspective, imitation has been examined as a general human behavior within biology and psychology. The second perspective, social contagion, studies imitation in collective groups with a focus on the life cycle of crime waves. The third perspective is the study of the diffusion of social innovations and focuses on the factors that encourage adoption of a new, socially accepted and advocated behavior. In diffusion research, criminal behaviors have not been a major consideration. The final theoretical perspective is social learning theory, which focuses on how humans learn new behaviors in social settings. Despite the attention of these four research streams, research on copycat crime has not been extensive. One reason for the deficiency is the difficulty in identifying copycat crimes. Whereas other crimes are relatively straightforward to quantify and are routinely tallied in official law enforcement statistics, copycat crimes are not counted in any systematic way.
Copycat crime has traditionally been conceived within an emphasis on direct exposure to live person-to-person models. The media as a source of crime models has historically been downplayed. As the media evolved in the 20th century the study of mediated copycat crime models ascended so that the dominant contemporary view of copycat crime is that of media-sourced transmissions. Copycat crimes are today linked to literature, movies, television shows, music, video games, and print and television news, but despite concern and a large number of studies of violent media's relationship to social aggression, the rigorous study of copycat crime has lagged. At this time, copycat effects are felt to be relatively rare and are most likely to appear in at-risk individuals predisposed to crime and in preexisting criminal populations. The effect of the media is thought to be more qualitative (affecting criminal behavior) than quantitative (affecting the number of criminals). Whether copycat crime effects influence any particular individual depends on the interaction of the content of a particular media product (its characterizations of crime and criminals), the individual's predispositions toward crime (personal criminal history, family, and environmental factors), and the media's social context (preexisting cultural norms toward crime, crime opportunities, and nature of the mass media). The most likely individual to be a copycat offender is hypothesized to be a socially isolated but criminally confident offender who is exposed to multiple live criminal models and has immersed themselves in criminogenic media.

Welcome to the International Negotiations Competition 2018, hosted by Cardiff University at the Cardiff School of Law and Politics, and sponsored by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).
The competition involves 28 teams from 24 countries testing their negotiation skills over a series of rounds where they will seek to achieve the optimum outcome for their clients in both the short-term and the long-term, while dealing with cultural and practical issues thrown up by scenarios that have been imaginatively created by the organisers.
An important aspect of the event is the education side, and there will be a Masterclass at the outset of the competition where expert speakers will engage the delegates with lectures, interactive exercises and practical seminars in order to help to develop the existing high levels of aptitude in students who have qualified for this event through their own National Competition.


India was one is an action adventure story written about Jai and Kaahi. It is a journey into India and a simple love between the two of which is disrupted once the country gets divided into south and the north.
I found the story to be interesting for various reasons. The initial cultural experience was, for instance, a very nice addition to the story. Not knowing much about India or the culture, the book introduced a sort of backstory for people like me, and I liked that.
The other thing interesting about this story was that it introduced the character's perspective from an Indian's view and its cultural clash with the city of Los Angeles. This fictional book also discusses the division and segregation of a country, splitting into one. The complications from this also created a very dynamic and multi-dimensional approach towards the plot.
Altogether, I believe the author has created a very unique story and one that is worth the read. I recommend this book for people that like action and a little romance.


Social networking has become the go-to activity when we're bored, have a little downtime or just have a compulsion built from habit. We nearly spend 2 hours every day on social media sites.
We tuned in on Pretoria FM (104.2) on Thursday 4 April as Henriette Brand, The Main Brain and Founder of We Do Digital, bestow the insights on digital media with Elsje van Jaarsveld.
How does one research social media and what were the key points for you?
"The research is done very carefully because there are a lot of resources on the internet that people cannot necessarily trust. I obtained my research by taking into account what the knowledgeable resources said and then tested their theory. I also discovered that the techniques that are successful in America, won't necessarily work in South Africa as the markets are so different. That is why it is crucial to understand the market so that you can be sure to reach them on the correct social media platform." says Henriette Brand, Founder of We Do Digital.
How can people define their target audience and what they really desire?
"A lot of people think that by implementing marketing through digital media is a much cheaper and quicker way but then they realize that their business isn't receiving that much exposure and engagement", says Elsje van Jaarsveld, Radio Presenter for Pretoria FM.
Why is it that this technique works for some companies and not for others?
"For me, it is because there is a lack in planning. They deal with aspects of their digital media marketing in isolation and there is no plan to make everything work in a coherent strategy. In a lot of cases, smaller companies will pay web developers to create a website for them, but they have no idea of what they want their websites to achieve. Afterwards they create a business page on Facebook, because that is what they heard is the best platform, but still has no idea of what they want to achieve through the page. Digital marketing sounds complicated but it really is simple. I always say that with a digital strategy, you have to perceive where your home is on the internet. The next step is to acquire a plan on how to get people to visit your home and the last step being, how you will insure that your guests will visit again. If you don't have a strategy for each of these 3 components, then your digital marketing will fail. When you look at the social media platforms, you need to decide which platform compliments your business the most and how you are going to communicate with your target audience. Are you going to use the same advertisement for Facebook and Twitter etc. or are you going to create a unique design that best engage with your different audiences in a way they will understand? I also see a lot of companies that possess the likes and followers but don't know how to convert those followers into clients to make profits.
Can people manage with just a digital media platform or must we still use the traditional ways?
What can companies do to distinguish themselves from other businesses?
Whether you're an established social media expert or your business has just started embarking on its social media journey, evaluating and reconsidering your strategy with these thoughts in mind can help you set the course.

Call your Virgo friends. We're makin' plans.
Here's a fun observation: there are a lot of people born in September. Just check your calendar or the most liked tweets in your go-to astrology Twitter account, and you'll see that Virgos are dominating the charts. Count nine months back and you'll know why.
Our fave 8Cuts Burgers is also celebrating their birthday this month and they're throwing another round of their P88 promo. If you missed the ones they're had before, they're basically selling some of their bestsellers for a really low price. Now you don't have to choose between a cheeseburger and a Q-Daddy 'cause, well, you can have both. As always you can choose between their House Blend (short rib, rib eye, and brisket) and Grassfed (sirloin, round tip, flank, short plate, and chuck) patties for each order.
Available only on Sept. 13 (or until supplies last), each guest is allowed two items from their birthday menu, which includes our fave burgers like the Piggy (your choice of patty plus mozzarella, fried bacon strips, bacon jam), and their party spaghetti. Don't forget to order a bucket of onion rings to go with that.
Here are some hacks to make sure you get a taste of their wildly popular promo.
Invite all September celebrants for a fun dinner.
Barkada gatherings are generally hard to organize because of different schedules. If you have more than one friend who's celebrating their birthday this month, you can have a collective birthday party. This way, you get to try all the items on the menu. But don't forget to show up on time; you'll only be able to secure the table if the group is complete. Punctuality is the key to a Virgo's heart, after all.
Schedule two visits in a day.
If you're feeling like having four burgers on that day (no judgment; you deserve it), you can actually visit multiple stores to get your fill. You can have a Q-Daddy for brunch, and maybe cap it off with the party spaghetti in the evening. You can even go 8Cuts hopping and drop by two different branches so you can meet both your north and south friends for a meal. That sounds like a solid plan.
Do it right after a workout.
You've been sweating buckets from your 60-minute spin class, and we're sure your mind wandered to the 8Cuts downstairs. It may seem counterproductive to indulge after a workout, but come on, it's their birthday. You can't say no to that. Since the promo has a strict no-takeout policy, you can be sure to finish the entire meal in one sitting.
8Cuts Burgers is located at Greenbelt 2, Serendra, Megamall, Mall of Asia, Promenade Greenhills, Eastwood, Salcedo Village Makati, Power Plant Mall Rockwell, and Alabang Town Center. For more information about the promo, visit their Instagram @8cutsburgers, and Facebook page facebook.com/8cutsburgers.

Bill Brownstein - Celebrating Oscar Peterson
Celebrating Oscar Peterson: Paying tribute to a dad — and to jazz
"The artists working today really need as much support as possible," says Céline Peterson, the guiding force behind June 1 concert at Pollack Hall

Oscar Peterson in 2005: Canada Post issued a stamp to mark his 80th birthday. NATHAN DENETTE / THE CANADIAN PRESS file
Duke Ellington called him the "Maharaja of the keyboard." Count Basie called him "the best ivory box (player) I've ever heard." His friends called him "O.P."
And she simply called him "Dad."
She is Céline Peterson; her father, Oscar Peterson, was one of the most talented and popular ivory ticklers ever to grace a stage or recording studio.
The Montreal-born Peterson, who died 11 years ago at the age of 82, released dozens of recordings and won eight Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Céline Peterson, 26, has spent much of her working life keeping her dad's music and legacy going strong.
To that end, Céline is the guiding force behind Celebrating Oscar Peterson, the Montreal Chamber Music Festival concert taking place June 1 at Pollack Hall.
She will host the event, and Oliver Jones — another Montreal jazz giant who happens to be her godfather — will offer insights into the life and career of his fellow pianist.
Celine Peterson, Oscar Peterson's daughter, sees her role as a jazz ambassador: "Musicians who continue to play that music are so passionate about what they do, but have long learned they'd have to live a life of hustle." Shira Gilbert PR
The concert will mark the debut of a new jazz trio: longtime Oscar bassist Dave Young, New York pianist/organist Ben Paterson and Montreal drummer Jim Doxas, a veteran of the Oliver Jones combo. And they will certainly be celebrating Oscar by covering many of his finest compositions.
Céline sees her role as a jazz ambassador. Not only committed to preserving her dad's memory through producing concerts and public appearances, she has also played a pivotal role in Toronto's Kensington Market Jazz Festival and she represents several up-and-coming musicians.
"I grew up around this music and the beautiful part about growing up in Dad's house is that it was never something that was forced upon me," Céline says in a phone interview from her Toronto base. "He allowed me to explore the music on my own, which I did. But I think that it was inevitable growing up around not just my dad, but also Oliver and so many other incredible artists, that it was bound to have some kind of impact.
"It's now so very important to me that this music is supported. The artists working today really need as much support as possible, no matter if they've been in the industry for 50 years and are still going or if they're just starting out. And it's an honour for me to do whatever I can to make that happen — whether it's an artist I'm representing or an event that I'm producing or simply something I can lend my name to."

Céline, the youngest of Oscar's seven children, and daughter of his fourth wife, Kelly Green, never sought to follow her father's path on the piano. This, in spite of the fact her aunt Daisy was a renowned piano teachers, having instructed her brother Oscar as well as Oliver Jones.

The following is the final blog of Trisha H's journey to motherhood. It is with bittersweet sadness that we conclude this series, though we are excited for the many new chapters Trisha and her family will create. Trisha, thank you so much for your invaluable contributions to sharing your voice and for the help you have provided to others going through the same journey.
What will we tell people about our donor egg journey?
This is a topic my husband and I discussed early on in our process. I should probably start by letting you know that you readers know more about our journey than almost everyone in our personal lives. Apart from our mothers, my sister, and two close but not best friends, "strangers" are the only people who know our entire story. Not that we are ashamed of our donor egg family, but because we know some people may not protect this decision with the tenderness it deserves. It would shatter my heart if someone, especially someone we trust, ever used our family as a topic of mockery or gossip. As such, there are some parts of our story we elect to keep private to a certain degree.
Here is how we see it….
What is important is our child was made out of pure LOVE. He is our baby, who grew in my belly for 9 long months. We have an indescribable bond that is only shared between the two of us. It is magical! I still think about the day he was pulled (via c-section) from my belly. The moment I heard him cry, I let out my own cry that came from a place so deep within my soul… a place I have never felt before. I can still remember the instant and greatest love, joy, and relief that came over me… we finally got to meet our sweet baby boy, who looks exactly like his father, may I add. I am telling you, he is the number one reason I was born.
So, back to what we will tell people. As far as family and friends are concerned, those who already know, are the only people, who are not "strangers," we plan to tell (well, almost – keep reading about "others"). What they know – because there is nothing more to share – is all they will know. We trust in each of them to keep our family secret sacred. For "others" in our lives, they will know our story about the challenges we faced when trying to conceive, and how we met our eventual success through IVF (just not the donor egg part). With "strangers" and "others" in our lives who struggle with fertility (we will only tell other people we know in our lives – family, friends, or acquaintances – if they struggle with trying to conceive themselves), they will know our ENTIRE story. We find it an honor to help other families make their own decision about their options to have a child, even if it means "others" in our lives knowing about our decision to use donor eggs… I believe helping families make the decision about their family is reason number two for why I was born.
Now, will we tell our son? We still have not decided. If we do, it will not be before he is 18 years old. Some of the questions we ponder are – Why does he need to know? How will it make him feel? Will he see me differently? Will he understand? Will it hurt him? Can we deal with the rejection, if it means being honest, should he decide to respond this way? There are so many questions for which we do not have the answers right now. And, any of what we will share will depend on his personality. Will he grow up to be an open-minded individual? If so, and we decide to talk to him about how he was conceived, will we share our story about IVF only or the full truth regarding donor eggs? Again, we do not have the answers at this time and do not believe it to be important right now, either.
In the end, whatever we decide to share, our son will always know he was made with lots of love sprinkled with a little bit of sugar and spice. He will know it takes mommy parts and daddy parts to make a baby and, sometimes, when these parts are not working very well, doctors help mommies and daddies make babies like him.


Earlier today I mentioned that I was praying for Isabella Day, 9-month-old daughter of my friends Tim & Leslie. Here is the update Tim posted just a little while ago, for any who are interested or have been praying today.
1. Help Isabella not to be in too much pain and that she will be healed.
2. Help the cancer to be "Intermediate"
3. If not, allow God to demonstrate His healing hand through the "Advanced" neuroblastoma.
5. Be with Leslie and myself to have the strength and courage to face the pain of seeing our daughter facing neuroblastoma.
6. Pray for all the grandparents, aunts, and uncles who are by our sides through this difficult time.
7. Pray for Dr. Furlan as he decides the course of treatment for Isabella.
8. That God will use our circumstances to bring glory to His name.

Splatoon 2's demo will give system owners an early chance to feel what it's like to play a multiplayer-centric game with this new kind of gaming machine. The demo will be available as a digital download and will allow players to battle against each other starting March 24.
Nintendo has revealed a few new features for Splatoon 2, including the Musselforge Fitness stage, LAN Play, and Private Battle Spectator View option. It's a way for everyone to investigate the latest in cephalopod warfare months before the game launches. Since Nintendo's online service will still be free at this point, all anyone would need is a Switch with an Internet connection to play.
The discovery made in squid-analysis technology will grant permission for two non-player to take part in a Private Battle, playing the role of camera operators. The new weapons and maps definitely add a new level of strategy to the game and being able to play it on the go with the Switch undocked is going to be incredible. "Local wireless play is flawless for your regular gaming get-togethers, but LAN Play is where it's at when you want to organise a serious tournament event with your fellow players".
As we saw in the Nintendo Switch Preview Trailer, Nintendo will look to promote local multiplayer in Splatoon 2 as well as continuing to position it as an eSports title. Nogami claimed that it had been two years since the original Splatoon appeared.
And now, it's Splatoon 2's turn.

Position: 30 17.80 S 071 35.77 W
Course: 040 Speed: 5 knots
Wind Sou' west F3-4 Gentle to Moderate Breeze
Weather: Mostly sunny, warm
Days Run: 26 miles
We made good time as we approached Punta Langua de Vaca (Tongue of Cow - with a fluent Spanish speaker on board I now know what all these things mean) rounding it a little after 23.00. Bahia Tongoy is a wide bay open to the north and providing good shelter from the south. I was hoping to sail to anchor in the southwest corner and was very pleased that despite the late hour and her obvious tiredness Martina was happy to attempt to sail while there was some wind. A kindred spirit. But a little after midnight we had to concede defeat as a short way into the bay the wind died and left us drifting. We started the engine, motored the remaining three miles to anchor four cables of the beach and once satisfied that we were secure, a little after 1 a.m., we retired below for a good night's sleep.
I was awoken by an alarm at 7 announcing the arrival of the morning's weather fax. Once that was sorted out I climbed back into my bunk where Martina's beautiful smile greeted me. We talked, she looked at some of my books that line the V berth and we ended up discussing Joyce's Ulysses, in particular Molly Bloom's soliloquy. What bliss!
Later we arose for breakfast, the wind had now swung into the north and was sending a light chop into the bay, Sylph bobbed and curtseyed to it, but unfortunately Martina's tummy did not appreciate it so she popped a seasickness tablet and retired to the starboard settee. We talked some more, now about poetry. I read her John Donne's "The Sunne Rising". Martina's joy in my explanation and her understanding of the poem filled my heart with great happiness.
After a filling pancake lunch and a bit of a clean up I got the dinghy into the water and fitted the outboard. The outboard had not been used for quite a while, it started no problems but the float valve must have been stuck because it immediately started leaking fuel. It took me a short while to clean the carburettor then we headed ashore for the beach which stretched for about eight kilometres to the east of where Sylph was anchored. Once ashore we pulled the dinghy above the high water mark and started out for a good leg stretch. The beach is firm and flat, behind it the landscape dry and brown dotted with numerous short hardy bushes. To the west lay a small settlement, a short jetty poking out into the bay, presumably a fishing village, to the east lay the township of Tongoy, and about half way along the beach were some white buildings protected by a heavy barbed wire fence. I pondered its purpose. The bay is marked on the chart as a submarine exercise area so I suspect the bay might be an underwater sound range for the Chilean fleet and the unmarked white painted buildings perhaps housed the recording station. We walked three kilometres, Sylph invisible in the distance, we wrote each other's names in the sand, then hiked back to the dinghy. A small surf had built up, we pushed the dinghy past it, the aging but thus far reliable Yamaha outboard started first pull and now we are back on board and it is time for dinner.

Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. December 16, 1775, Steventon, UK.
December SIXTEENTH the Day of SOARING IMAGINATION: Those born on December 16 are among the most imaginative people in the year. This is not to understate their physical side, however, which is highly developed and stakes out its claims on their personality as well. As a matter of fact, one of the major themes in the lives of December 16 people concerns transcending physical limitations of the body and reaching for the stars. Often those born on this day feel guided or even instructed by a higher power in whose service they find themselves. This power may be social, religious or universal in nature, but ultimately liberating for them. Through this association they are freed from their earthbound problems at least for a time.
ADVICE: Keep yourself grounded. Work through your physical problems. Attend regularly to matters of everyday life. Be sensitive to the feelings of others.
BORN ON THIS DAY: Ludwig van Beethoven, Wassily Kandinsky, Jane Austen, Margaret Mead, Noel Coward, Liv Ullman, Lesley Stahl, Brett Weston (photographer), ; Source: The Secret Language of Birthdays, Gary Goldschneider & Joost Elffers.
MEDITATION: The storms of life eventually blow over.
TWO of Clubs: The Card of CONVERSATION: Among the people of this card you will note a wide variety. Many are fearful of everything, especially being alone, and will do everything in their power to make sure they are surrounded by people who admire them. All are sociable and enjoy good stimulating conversations. Then there are those who are reclusive and appear to need no one. In truth, they are just as afraid and always have one special person that they attach themselves to. The Ace of Spades Karma Card can mean an inner fear of death or change and this explains much of their behavior. However, these people are well endowed with many natural abilities and gifts. They can be exceptional in business and with people, preferring to work in partnership rather than alone. There is much protection surrounding this card and they all have much to be grateful for. If they simply recognize the abundance in their lives, they will help to dispel their underlying fear that can do so much damage.
Your Karma Cards are the: Ace of Spades - You owe something to this person and they reflect you in some way. King of Hearts - This person owes you and you are their mirror in some way.
FAMOUS TWO of Clubs Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. December 17, 1770, Bonn, Germany.
Issues Concerning Relationships: Some of the most physically beautiful,attractive and intelligent people are (2c) and one would usually look at them and think they could have almost anyone they desired. It is a mystery in some cases why they choose the people with whom they end up. This is more a trait in the female (2c) than the males. Their love relationships are more a reflection of their state of inner wellness and self-love than of any other factor. If their inherent fear has not been recognized and confronted, they will often settle for anyone, just to avoid being alone, or for someone who is abusive, psychotic or weird in some way. This can lead to co-dependent and other undesirable relationships. The remedy for the (2c) is to face that deep fear that is often haunting them. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself' and this is applicable to the (2c). For many of them, they first need to admit it to themselves. They have to turn the lights on in that darkened room of their mind and face the monsters that lie hidden there. Those who do face it discover a new power within them, the power of the mystic that is revealed by the (As), the ancient symbol for secret knowledge. Discrimination in their choice of partner will bring them great rewards. This is one of those cards that can usually have anyone they want for a partner. They have more freedom of choice in this area because they themselves have a lot to offer. If they take some time to understand their impulses, needs, desires and feelings, they will attract a partner who is more loving and considerate, one who satisfies that (2c) urge for the perfect companion with whom they may share everything. (2c) Male/Female Generalities: (2c) women get along well with both male Clubs and Diamonds. If they are willing to be a more at-home, child-raising wife, the Cub would probably make the best choice for a husband, especially the King of Clubs. With Diamond men, there is a strong romantic connection which brings pleasure, but probably not anything long lasting. (2c) men should take care around Heart women, with whom they share a challenging connection.

Danny LeFeuvre from Australian Bee Services and Bill Long from Ag Consulting Co. discuss the benefits of bee pollination in broad-acre crops and how this has impacted on farmer attitudes to pest management. Canola and bean yields have been increased by 30% whilst lupin yields have been increased by 15%. Understanding the value of bees and other pollinating insects has led to the introduction of integrated pest management practices on farms, reducing the use of pesticides.

LG Announces New All-In-One and Ultrabook for Windows 8
Posted by Doug Dobbins at 10:30 am on October 22, 2012
LG has joined the throng of manufacturers in rolling out brand new hardware for the imminent launch of Microsoft's Windows 8 OS. Leading the introductions is a new 11.6-inch H160 hybrid slider PC. The Slider runs the full Windows 8 OS and weighs less than 3 pounds and converts from a notebook into a tablet.
The new LG H160 slider also uses an LG-made display that incorporates IPS technology for a wide 178-degree viewing angle. LG claims that the hybrid boots twice as quickly compared to a similarly equipped device running Windows 7. LG says that the H160 will work with a full range of PC peripherals and comes with a dedicated storage pouch for use on the go. Technical specs for the H160 slider have yet to be specified.
The new all-in-one V325 centers on a large 23-inch display with ten-finger multitouch. It is powered by a third-gen Core i5 processor and includes a 3D-capable Nvidia GeForce GT640M GPU. The V325 also includes a built-in TV Tuner that supports picture-in-picture mode for computing alonside TV viewing.
LG says the new Windows 8 devices announced today will ship alonside new LG Windows 8-powered ultrabooks, notebooks, and desktops along with a new range of touch-screen monitors for existing Windows 7 users purchase if they want to enjoy the touch capabilities of Microsoft's new OS.
