I live on Tutuila, the main island of American Samoa. My island was hit by a tsunami last September. One of the villages that was hit the hardest is Poloa. I spent Saturday at the beach there and spotted this lowercase L on the side of the school. It looks like MAIN BID, but it's supposed to be short for building. The other buildings at the school were labeled too, but not with lowercase L's!It is a tragedy. So many innocent people, misled to believe there might be a "Main Bid", but finding no bids at all, main, secondary, or even tertiary. Dreams washed away like so many legs of neglected uppercase L's. God help us.
Ever notice hand-written signs with letters in all-caps, except for the letter L? It looks like an uppercase i ...
WHY DO PEOPlE WRITE lIKE THIS?

ONlY 99¢
Key Foods on 7th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. He's quite finicky, and devoutly sticks to a select few brands of food items. Over the last 40 years in this neighborhood, Bob has refined his taste, and knows exactly what he likes and dislikes. He doesn't like Wise, claims they are the worst chips ever, with a far higher "brown spot" ratio than most other brands. And forget chips with ridges, they hurt his gums! So when it comes to Potatoe Chips ONlY 99¢, Bob insists of Utz Onion & Garlic. But if Bob could only see this sign, he might just go for the Wise.

Manuel Antonio National Park while on vacation in Costa Rica, the lowercase L is exactly the same height as the uppercase i's and other uppercase letters, making it somewhat confusing to read. Bonus points for the EXClUSIVe lowercase e.

ROll CAll
This doesn't really have anything to do with lowercase L, I just wanted to share something else I do with my life. ROll CAll is a cartoon I made for the Aniboom Awards 4 Sesame Street animation contest. Pass it along if you like it, and sign up to rate it if you love it!

Adam Wells with the lowercase L's! Known for his photographic fabrications and more relevant receipts, the special effects wizard had this to say about his recent find:
This one's not cut and dry William, as there are a few offenders in there and a mish-mash of upper and lower. But I still find them guilty as charged...These milkshakes certainly would not bring me to the yard.

The sign in question is located outside the overpriced yet thoroughly satisfying Greedies Cafe in Isleworth, West London. It may fall foul of your strict rules and regulations, but thought you should cast your eye across it.
Mazeltov on your engagement by the way, lovely news.
All the best,

A watercolor peony bud is one of the easiest flower elements to paint. I absolutely love how much character is has. It is a prequel to the drama that's about to emerge when these beauties bloom.
Confused about what supplies you invest in with watercolors? I've got you!
This mini watercolor tutorial explains the basic steps that you can use while painting a watercolor peony bud. Interestingly, there are different stages of a peony bud and I love this stage the most because they’re beautiful and bulbous and has so much character.
🌈 Step 1: Figure out the base shape. In a watercolor peony bud, the base shape is a circle. Work with or without a pencil attaining the basic shape and then filling up with pigment. Don’t forget to leave white spaces indicating separation of petals. If you make the base layer lighter, you’ll be able to work wet on wet and create interest.
.
🌈 Step 2 : Kiss the bottom edge of the flower with darker pigment and let the water do its work. DO NOT overwork at this point.
🌈 Step 3 : The sepal(where the flower joins the stem) is as though glued to the flower. Drop in some green pigment and pull it outwards creating leaf shapes on either side of your bud in a radiating manner. Keep it odd and asymmetrical. This creates interest.
.
🌈 Step 4 : Paint the stem and the leaves of the watercolor peony bud emerging out of it.Add a few nodes to bring our character and so that it doesn’t look flat. Don’t forget to give your leaves a little flair leaving it organic and pleasing to the eye. More about flair under techniques in my highlights.
And that’s it! You’ve just create your very own watercolor peony bud with these simple steps. Thanks for reading! x |

Interesting. Maybe he just couldn’t find the perfect place to sit down an play — couldn’t get comfortable. I love his fake piano, though.
thank heaven he had the good sense to match his glasses to his {fake} piano.
fake glasses >3
I had the same thought!
Hey! I wonder if he was doing John Cage’s 4’33″! It consists of the pianist going to the piano, and not hitting any keys for four minutes and thirty-three seconds. I learned about it in college and it’s boggled my mind from time to time since then. Would be neat if that’s what this guy was doing.
so peculiar…ha! |
We at Vista Criminal Attorney Firm have years of experience practicing criminal defense law. The law firm serves clients in and around the Vista area. Attorneys at this law firm have a clear understanding of California’s criminal law. They are able to handle all types of abuse cases for their clients. There are various possible defenses for an elder abuse charge. The lawyers could argue for the application of a lesser charge or argue that the defendant is innocent of all charges. While life in Vista, CA can seem idyllic, many people are arrested each year on false or exaggerated charges. When you find yourself facing the possibility of a lengthy jail term, you need to have the best representation in your corner.
What is Elder Abuse Under California Law?
In California, under Penal Code 368 PC, elder abuse is a major offense, and the crime can be considered a felony based on the evidence. It is aggressively prosecuted in Vista under a special team of district attorneys. This abuse is any mistreatment aimed at a person aged over 65 years old.
Elder abuse can involve a family member or worker at a nursing home physically or sexually abusing an elderly person. The abuse can also be psychological and entails instilling fear in an elderly person or assaulting them verbally with threats and insults. A person could be charged with other felonies such as Criminal Threats under the Penal Code 422 PC if they used words such as “kill” or “die” in their verbal assault.
Elder abuse could also include neglect where there is a failure to provide medical care, failure to give medication, failure to provide clothing, food, proper nutrition, and clean water. Other reasons one can be prosecuted under the elder abuse law are abandonment and isolation; where an elderly person is prevented from seeing others or is not given proper care.
This crime in California does not have to be physical or psychological. It can also be financial abuse. Financial elder abuse is where a person is accused of; stealing or taking money or improper use of bank accounts, real estate or other assets through breach of fiduciary duty to safeguard assets or fraud.
What Is the Punishment for Elder Abuse?
If charged with elder abuse in California, you could get a misdemeanor or a felony charge. If it is a misdemeanor you could face:
- Summary probation,
- A one-year sentence in county jail,
- A maximum fine of $6,000 or $10,000 for a second offense,
- Restitution to the victim,
- Counseling.
For a felony elder abuse conviction, you could face:
- Formal probation,
- Two to four years in state prison with additional and consecutive three to seven, years in prison if the victim suffers great physical harm or death,
- Up to $10,000 in fines,
- Restitution to the victim,
- Counseling.
The exact paragraphs under the 368 PC that you could be charged under are:
Under the penal code 368 (b)(1) any person that knows or should know that a person is a dependent adult or an elder and who causes or permits an elder or dependent adult to suffer or inflicts pain, or harm, can be jailed in a county jail for a period of not more than a year. He or she could also be fined six thousand dollars ($6,000) or both the fine and prison sentence. Alternatively, the person could be jailed in state prison for two, three, or four years.
Under the penal code 368 (b) (2), if the victim suffered major bodily harm as defined by section 12022.7, the defendant will get an additional stay in state prison as follows:
- Three years if the victim is below 70 years
- Five years if the victim is over 70 years
Under the PC 368 (3), if the abuse described in paragraph (1) proximately led to the victim’s death, the defendant shall get an additional state prison term of five years if the victim is below 70 years and seven more years if the victim is over 70 years.
Under Section 368 (3)(c), if a person who knows or should know that a person is a dependent or an elder, causes them to suffer under conditions other than those that could cause major bodily harm or death, he or she could be punished with a fine of not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000) or imprisonment in county jail for a period of not more than a year. Alternatively, he or she could be punished with both the fine and prison term.
Under the penal code 368 (3)(d), if a person, who is not a caregiver violates a provision of the law related to forgery, fraud, embezzlement or who violates Section 530.5 on identity theft, they could also be charged in court, and be imprisoned in a county jail for a year if convicted. They could also be jailed in state prison for two, three, or four years if labor, money, services, goods, or personal property taken is worth over $400. They could also be jailed or fined a thousand dollars ($1000) if the money, labor, services, goods, or property does not exceed $400. The same applies to a caretaker of a dependent or elder.
The penal code 368 (f) elaborates on false imprisonment, where, if a person falsely imprisoned an elder or dependent adult, they could be jailed in state prison for two, three, or four years. The law in California states that an elder under the penal code 365(g) is a person older than 65 years old.
The penal code 368(h) defines a dependent adult as a person who is between 18 and 64 years whose mental or physical state restricts their ability to care for themselves. Dependent adults are also those with mental disabilities. It also includes those in inpatient care in a 24-hour facility as it is defined under 1250, 1250.2, and 1250.3 of California Health and Safety Code. The penal code defines a caretaker as a person who is charged with the custody, care, or control of a dependent adult or elder.
When a person is convicted of violating any part of the penal code section 368, the court might require that the person gets counseling as part of the probation. That person shall pay for the expenses of taking part in a counseling program that will be determined by the court. The court will not take into account the ability of a person to pay. However, probation shall not be denied based on the inability to pay.
Related Offenses
Depending on the circumstance under which the offense of elder abuse occurred, you could be charged for other crimes under the California penal code. Some of the charges might include:
Penal Code 242 PC battery
Under this section, it is a crime to use force upon another. When you cause physical injury by intentionally hitting an elderly person, prosecutors might decide to charge you for battery and elder abuse.
If the battery does not lead to serious physical injury, you will be charged for a misdemeanor, and you could pay up two thousand dollars in fine. You might also spend up to six months incarcerated. If it is a felony, you might spend a year in county jail or up to four years in state prison.
Penal Code 261 PC Rape
If you have non-consensual intercourse with the elder using threats, force or fraud, the prosecutor could charge you for rape and elder abuse. This often occurs when evidence shows you have had sex with an elder who is incapable of giving consent. The charge of rape is also considered when force was used against an elder who cannot fight back. In California, rape can lead to a sentence of three to eight years in state prison.
Penal Code 187 PC/ Penal Code 192 PC
You could be charged for murder or manslaughter if an elder dies due to negligence or abuse.
Penal Code 422 PC Criminal Threats
If you make verbal threats against an elder, you might be charged with making criminal threats on top of the elder abuse charge. This can lead to an additional one year in county prison or incarceration in state prison.
California Domestic Violence Laws
If you are accused of elder abuse against a spouse or family member, you might be charged under the domestic violence laws of California. This usually leads to a penalty well above that of elder abuse.
Penal Code 401 PC Aiding a Suicide
When an elder suffering from a chronic illness contemplates suicide, a caregiver is not allowed to help him or her. If that happens, you could be charged with assisting suicide. In most cases, when an elder kills himself or herself, grieving family members often look for someone to blame, and thus you are charged with assisted suicide. This is even in cases where you did not know of the intent to commit suicide. It could lead to imprisonment in state prison of up to three years.
As you can see, the California penal code has severe punishment for those charged with violating the elder abuse laws. It is important that you talk to an attorney when you are charged with elder abuse. What might seem like a misdemeanor to you could end up landing you in jail for many years with huge fines.
The Legal Defenses for Charges of Abusing an Elder
While the offense of elder abuse is a serious one, elderly abuse accusations are sometimes made against individuals who have committed no wrong. Sometimes an accuser could lie, or it could be because the elderly person could have a condition or disease that mimics signs of psychological, physical abuse, or neglect.
To make the problem even worse, the police, doctors, and social workers might not have the training to tell apart the signs of accidents, age, or illness. However, if they suspect abuse, they must report it.
If a doctor, social worker, or police officer does not report something suspicious, they could face criminal charges. However, if they make a report and it turns out they were wrong, they usually face no charges. Thus, they will usually report people with no facts just to ensure they are not dragged through court.
Despite this, there are various legal defenses, which we can use to protect you in California. This can help to reduce or dismiss the charges. Some common defenses we could use are:
It Was an Accident
If you did not intentionally injure an elder and you have behaved in a manner that did not rise to the legally required threshold for you to be considered negligent, prosecutors will not be able to make abuse charges stick. Thus, you can utilize the defense of it being an accident.
For instance, if you were moving an elder to bed on their wheelchair, you could slip and cause the elder to fall. As a result, they could suffer physical injuries such as a broken arm or hip. In such a case, you are innocent of any accusations of abusing the elderly. This is because you were not criminally neglecting the elder. Accidents such as this can happen to anyone, and you should not face any charges.
False Accusations
There are numerous reasons why you could falsely be accused of elder abuse. Sometimes, unhappy members of your family could be trying to isolate the elder by ensuring you never come close to them again. For instance, they may be jealous that an elder gave you a huge sum of money as a reward. In some cases, the accusation was true, but the injuries did occur due to abuse.
Mistaken Identity
This is another defense that can be used to get you off the hook. It could be very well that an elder was abused, but you did not cause it. However, if you are the primary caregiver, you might be the first suspect. Besides, if you and the elderly parent had recently been in an argument over something and soon after the elder is abused, others might assume it was you. However, you clearly know it was not you. A good criminal attorney will be able to utilize this defense to your advantage to convey to the court that you are innocent.
Unclear Evidence
In order for you to be prosecuted, a prosecutor needs to prove beyond all doubt that it was you and not anyone else that caused the abuse. Thus, there must not be any other suspected reason for the elder’s injuries except for the fact that it was your actions.
If there is no other evidence that can corroborate the charges against you, our criminal defense attorneys can help to cast doubt on your guilt. In some cases, we will call an expert who can testify the signs of abuse were caused by something else. For instance, we could argue that the injuries were caused by something such as age. In other cases, another witness could testify that the elder is delusional, paranoid, or even senile and that the accusations made against you are not backed by any facts.
You could also provide proof that you have routinely cared for the elder without any complaints for a long time. This could be in the form of drug store receipt for any medication prescribed to them, bills for the air conditioning unit and the heating unit, records from visits to the doctor. It generally entails bringing any evidence that proves you have not abused the elder but have taken care of him or her well.
It Was an Isolated Incident
In some cases, the facts are too obvious and you cannot deny fact that you abused the elder. However, you could still argue that it was a one-time incident and not a pattern of abuse. If you often care for elderly people, then you know that it can take a huge toll on you in terms of both being physically fatigued, and being emotionally drained.
You will need to ensure that the members of the jury understand that you are not a bad person and this was just a slip due to an unexpected emotional breakdown due to the toll that caregiving has had on you. This could lead to some sympathy and even a reduced sentence or charge.
When you are accused of elder abuse, you should always talk to a defense attorney with years of experience in elder abuse defense. He or she will work out the best solution for you. The District Attorney has a huge amount of resources to convict those accused of this violation. A lawyer in your corner will ensure that the playing field is level. The state of California takes this violation very seriously.

Update: Transformers 5 is still tracking for a BIG opening!
With its theatrical premiere right around the corner, Transformers: The Last Knight is projected to post the lowest five-day start domestically in the history of the franchise. Director Michael Bay first brought the robots in disguise to the big screen 10 years ago, and the property has been a reliable cash cow for Paramount ever since. Despite seeing diminishing returns in the U.S. over the past few installments, interest in Transformers remains very high globally. Case in point: Age of Extinction, the most recent entry, grossed $1.1 billion worldwide, virtually matching the numbers of 2011's Dark of the Moon.
Paramount has high hopes for The Last Knight, positioning it as a "launching board" of sorts for future movies. Following the current trend of shared cinematic universes, the studio has assembled a writers' room to piece together various sequels and spinoffs. They need Last Knight to be a monster hit, but it looks like they're going to have to rely more on the foreign countries to turn the profits they want in order to keep the train rolling.
According to THR, Transformers 5 is expected to earn somewhere between $70 - 75 million in its first five days (it opens on Wednesday, June 21). That figure would be well below the previous debuts of the series, including $100+ million opening weekends from Revenge of the Fallen and Age of Extinction. It looks poised to be the latest tentpole that will arguably disappoint at the American box office this summer, lending more credence to the earlier reports of 2017 being the worst summer commercially for Hollywood since 2007. Franchise fatigue seems to have settled in for certain titles.
Since The Last Knight should have an uphill climb in the States, Paramount will be hoping for a strong showing overseas. Transformers has always done well internationally, and there's little reason to suspect things will be different this time around. Transformers is in a similar position to another fifth installment of a long-running franchise - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Jack Sparrow's latest misadventure has earned a paltry $150 million domestically, but the film managed to become successful thanks to its $651.2 million worldwide total. Granted, that figure is considerably lower than some of its predecessors, but it illustrates the power of the global box office and how important it can be. When green-lighting projects, executives tend to think in terms of how it will play to all audiences, and not just domestically.
Paramount appears confident their evolving Transformers franchise will connect with viewers, as they have already scheduled a Bumblebee spinoff for June 2018 and have several other films coming through the pipeline. It'll be interesting to see how The Last Knight holds up over the course of its run, especially with some other high-profile blockbusters on the horizon in July. There's only so much money to go around, so not every mega franchise can churn out hit after hit. Hopefully for Optimus Prime and friends, there's still some life left in Transformers.

Under TextExpander > Preferences > Expansion, you can set when TextExpander expands a snippet.
TextExpander can expand your snippets immediately when you type the abbreviations. Many users prefer this mode because it feels faster and more seamless. However, you need to choose abbreviations that would not appear in your normal typing. For example, "sig" is a poor abbreviation when using "Expand immediately", because your snippet will be expanded every time you want to type the word "sign" or "signal".
If you use delimiters, you have more flexibility with abbreviations. No expansion occurs until you press a delimiter key, indicating that you want the abbreviation to be expanded. For example, you could use "sig" to enter your signature if you were using delimiters. Your signature snippet would not be expanded until you pressed a specified delimiter after typing "sig".
By default, space, tab, return and esc keys are designated delimiters, but you can use any of a large group of characters as additional delimiters. Go to TextExpander > Preferences > Expansion and click on the Set Delimiters... to see all the choices.
If you have a large snippet library, or you have trouble remembering your abbreviations, you will find the Suggest Matching hotkey useful. To use this feature, you need to set a hotkey.
When you want to expand a snippet, but you cannot recall the abbreviation, simply type either a part of the abbreviation that you do remember, or a part of one of the words in the snippet's contents or label, then press the hotkey you specified. Matching snippets will be displayed in a scrolling window just below the cursor where you are typing, similar to the way OS X displays auto-correction or spelling options.
Typing more will narrow the search, continuously updating the results. If there are search results, you can press Space then add another word to further narrow the search. If no results are found, typing Space cancels the search. Press Return to expand the first snippet in the results, or use the arrow keys to move up and down the list of results, and press Return when the desired snippet is selected to expand it. You can also click on the desired snippet to expand it, or type the Command+1 through 9 key equivalent shown beside the first nine matching snippets.
The trick to remember with Suggest Matching Abbreviation is to type a few letters first, then press the hotkey to search on what you typed. If you expand a snippet from the suggested results, whatever you typed will be erased as if it was the abbreviation.
For information on other hotkeys, see Preferences: Hotkeys.
Another way to find snippets is to use Search Snippets. You can open the Search Snippets window by clicking on the TextExpander icon in the menu and then clicking Search Snippets. You can also set a hotkey to open the Search Snippets window in TextExpander > Preferences > Hotkeys. (Note that the hotkey will work even if you do not have the TextExpander icon displayed in the menu bar.)
Find snippets by typing part of the snippet's contents, label, or abbreviation into the search field in the Search Snippets window. The search results are updated as you type.
Click on a snippet to expand it, or type the Command+1 through 9 key equivalent shown beside the first nine matching snippets, or press return or tab to jump to the list of search results, where you can use the arrow keys to move up and down in the list. Press return to expand the selected snippet.
Occasionally, you might want to disable TextExpander temporarily, when you don't want your snippet expansions to occur. You can do this by clicking on the TextExpander icon in the menu and then clicking Disable Expansion. To enable TextExpander again, click again on the TextExpander menu bar icon and then click Enable Expansion.
You can also accomplish this easily by assigning a hotkey for Enable/Disable TextExpander.
TextExpander will remember your assigned hotkey combination. You can use it to toggle TextExpander on and off. |

This last week I've taken some time for myself to relax, dote around the house and refocus myself. I got myself a 90 minute massage and have been meditating.
I can only go 100 miles per hour for so long before I stop being able to concentrate and get things done. The last couple of months were difficult but I am finally relaxing and finding my center. I lead a pretty full life and the last year, I've started to lose some focus. I didn't have much of a vacation last year so I didn't have time to reset. I started not to enjoy much of anything I was doing. That is pretty bad.
The first thing is to clear my mind then take care of my body. Get on a normal exercise routine again and eat healthier. It's too easy for me to fall into bad habits when I am running thin on time.
My experiences getting a massage this week, meditating and actively trying to cleanse my mind of the stress which has led me to actually being physically affected, I imagined this image. |

From our groundbreaking liveblog of the Scooter Libby trial (featured on the front page of the New York Times), to having the only full-time reporter devoted to covering Occupy Wall Street from day 1, Firedoglake.com has been at the cutting edge of online political news coverage since its inception.
Our coverage of issues like the health care bill and mortgage fraud settlement dug deeper and was light years ahead of the main stream media. By talking regularly with a deep bench of sources, attending committee hearings and conducting original research, we’ve consistently managed to synthesize and distill a tremendous amount of complex information and have a profound effect on the public’s ability to understand what was really happening behind all the smoke and mirrors on Capitol Hill.
Enormous amounts of money are being spent buying up vast expanses of the intellectual property sphere, but the issues are so complex the public doesn’t even know they’ve been robbed until it’s over. Our goal is to engage the public in the technology debate in real-time, before their interests have been auctioned off to the highest bidder.
We’re very excited about bringing our political coverage skills to the wild-west tech frontier, which is evolving faster than either lawmakers or the courts can keep pace. We hope you’ll join us in that journey on Bytegeist.

Case Ford
In this paper, I will be discussing Ford Motor Company and the role it plays in the global economy. Like the United States economy, the Global Economy is important as well as it links the economies of individual countries to each other and changes in a single can have ripple effects on others. Ford Motor Company Ford Motor Company operates in two sectors: automotive and financial services. Ford Motor Company is one of the largest automotive manufacturers in the world, employing about 166,000 employee them.
Issue II. Questions for Case analysis a. What are the ethical and social issues in this case? b. Who are the stakeholders and what are their stakes? How do legitimacy, power, and urgency factor in? Do these companies care about consumers? Discuss. c. Conduct a CSR analysis of both Firestone and Ford. How do they measure up in fulfilling their various social responsibilities? d. Who is at fault in the tire separation controversy? Bridgestone / Firestone? Ford Motor Company? The NHTSA? III
Ford Motor Co. Casey T, Blackburn Business 104 Business Organization & Management Dr. Earl Murray Jr. 1 November 2015 Abstract I hope that this meets the intent of this paper and that you learn something new about the management of an organization that I have the most interest in. I wanted to discuss how the lessons that we have covered during this class are used and demonstrated in a large worldwide company such as Ford Motor Co. Ford Motor Co. Ford’s Motor Company History Ford Motor Company

Meat and fat: Finding the ideal balance
Flesh protein can vary considerably in its fat content. Since we have individual differences in the amount of both fat and protein that is optimal for good health, it is important to know the fat content in different meat options. Below are lists of high, medium, and low-fat flesh protein (for purposes of this article, “meat” includes poultry and seafood).
High-fat meat choices (over 8 grams per 3.5 ounce serving=100 grams)
- Anchovy, 10 grams
- Bacon, 38 grams
- Beef (although grass-fed is lower in fat than grain-fed): prime rib, ribs, inside skirt steak, 18 grams
- Chicken (dark meat), 10 grams
- Duck, 11 grams
- Goose, 13 grams
- Herring, 15 grams
- Lamb, 19 grams
- Mackeral, 18 grams
- Pompano, 12 grams
- Quail, 14 grams
- Salmon, 10 grams
- Sardine, 11 grams
Medium-fat meat choices (5-8 grams per 3.5 ounce serving)
- Abalone, 7 grams
- Bass (freshwater), 5 grams
- Beef heart and liver, 5 grams
- Pork (ham, chops), 8 grams
- Rabbit, 8 grams
- Swordfish, 5 grams
- Trout, 7 grams
- Whitefish, 8 grams
Low-fat meat choices (less than 5 grams per 3.5 ounce serving)
- Buffalo, 2 grams
- Chicken breast, 4 grams
- Clams, 1 gram
- Cod, 1 gram
- Cornish hen, 4 grams
- Crab, 2 grams
- Elk, 2 grams
- Goat, 3 grams
- Halibut, 3 grams
- Lobster, 1 gram
- Mussels, 1 gram
- Ostrich, 3 grams
- Oysters, 1 gram
- Scallop, 1 gram
- Shrimp, 1 gram
- Tuna (albacore), 3 grams
- Turkey (light and dark meat), 1 and 4 grams respectively
- Venison, 2 grams
Some people thrive on a higher fat diet and others on a lower fat diet. If you have more energy and satiety when you eat more fat, choosing higher-fat meats is wise or you can add additional fat such as coconut oil, olive oil or butter to lower fat meats. Eating the skin on poultry is another way to increase the fat content.
Our ancestors did not just consume flesh protein: they ate the whole animal. Even if you do not do well with large amounts of fat, some fat in the diet is important for overall health.
New Leaf has an excellent selection of meat, poultry and fish from local and sustainable sources. Live Earth Farm now has free-range chickens for sale. Staff of Life has a limited selection of grass-fed beef, but they do offer ground buffalo and ostrich. El Sachichero is also a good source of local, humanely raised meats.

Freedom’s Calling
Our Founders’ Spirit When our American Founders saw the need for freedom, they uttered a cry to unite for the freedom of all. That calling continues to us all today, at home and abroad. Do we hear that calling? Will we hear that calling? And, when we do, it is wondered how Americans will respond. Freedom’s Calling Candles dance and then resign What passion’s left to pay remind?

Milwaukee Over the Blue Bloods?
May 12, 2021
Today, May 12, was the day that top high school basketball recruit Patrick Baldwin Jr would make his official college selection. The college he chose, was an absolute shocker.
Over the past year, Patrick Baldwin Jr, a small forward from Sussex, Wisconsin, has quickly gained attention as a top recruit in the 2021 class. According to 247sports.com, he was the fourth highest ranked recruit and the number one small forward in the nation.
On May 20, 2020, Baldwin narrowed down his top ten schools of choice,
and included blue bloods: Kentucky, Duke, and North Carolina. He also included Wisconsin, and Milwaukee University.
The early predictions had him going to Coach K at Duke University, but today, he shocked the nation. He chose to attend Milwaukee University. He is obviously the highest-rated recruit to ever play basketball at Milwaukee.
He chose to stay home because of his father, who is the head coach at Milwaukee. Although it seems like a dream to play basketball under your father, his father is coming into his fifth season with a undesirable record of 47-70.
As one the most interesting recruiting moments in the past few years, I certainly am excited to see how Baldwin’s future unrolls starting this upcoming season. |

How cool is this?! A hammock for your pets.
Gratitude makes the week’s work a lot easier and way more joyful! How about doing the happy dance with Snoopy and Charlie Brown every time you face a challenge.
And I thought day glow colors for a cast were cool. This is WAY, WAY cool!
LOL, that is funny. All these years, all these movies, about flying saucers coming FROM Mars and the first real one (or one that we know about) is going TO Mars. And, yes, I drew on the Smiley. NASA’s pretty cool, but not quite that cool. Check out the latest images beaming back from Mars.!
Twenty Five years ago! He’s still BAD. I miss Michael Jackson; I was, still am, a big fan. I couldn’t help but draw that yellow circle on his jacket to show you the Smiley Face I found. Watch the great animation movie commemorating the 25th anniversary.
I’d definitely have “The Little Prince.” |

Thank you so, SO much! I'm really happy that you and everyone else has responded so well to it, I figure though that if you're not a Pokemon fan then it just looks like Crowley and a generic Hell Hound haha, I'm such a Crowley fangirl too, so just needed an excuse to draw him more
But it's so kind of you to comment (especially with the reference XD) So honestly, thank you for your kind words <3 <3 <3

POLICE in Kaoma have launched a manhunt for United Party for National Development (UPND) Katuba member of Parliament Jonas Shakafuswa for allegedly assaulting six Patriotic Front cadres.
Mr Shakafuswa, who is believed to have been in the company of some party cadres, is alleged to have clashed with the PF cadres at Mwanambuyu Primary School in Mangango constituency between 10:00 and 11:00 hours yesterday.
Western Province deputy commissioner of police Lackson Sakala confirmed the development here yesterday.
Mr Sakala said knives and other sharp objects are believed to have been used in the act.
He said the six victims, who sustained various injuries, were issued with medical reports and are currently receiving treatment at Kaoma District Hospital.
“The victims are able to identify Mr Shakafuswa, who was in the company of other cadres. So, we are looking for him,” Mr Sakala said.
Mr Sakala said police have launched a manhunt for the Katuba law-maker, who is believed to be on the run.
Efforts to get Mr Shakafuswa proved futile as his number could not be reached.
This incident comes barely a week after PF and UPND cadres allegedly clashed here during campaigns for the by-election that has attracted five parties.
People in Mangango are scheduled to go to the polls this Tuesday.
Alliance for Democracy and Development is fielding Mwene Nalawa, the Movement for Multi-party Democarcy has Charles Mwenzala while Rogers Lingweshi will represent the Patriotic Frint.
Mukumbuta Kabuyana will stand on the Fourth Revolution party ticket, Godwin Putu is with UPND while UNIP will be represented by Janet Chingumbe.
There are about 33 polling stations and about 17,157 registered voters in Mangango, where the seat fell vacant following the court’s decision to nullify the election of Robert Chiseke due to corruption during the 2011 elections.
You will find that Katuba MP under the bed of the head men at 10 miles/15 miles.
Violence from MP’s must not be tolerated in a democratic country. Disagreements should be debated peacefully. This Katuba MP must be arrested and charged if the allegations are true.This will be a warning to all MP’s regardless of political affiliation, who abuse their position and let power go to their heads.
POETIC JUSTICE ! THE SAVAGE HAS CAUSED ENOUGH SUFFERING TO THE PEOPLE OF KATUBA. THROW THIS ‘MAN’ IN JAIL.
Backward politics. Zambia what a country. I wish my parents were sold through slavery to America, I would have been a black American than been a citizen of this nonsense of a country.
now thats a lie how can one man beat 6 men sure is he superman or something? and how come they are just looking for shaka alone?
How powerful is one man to beat up six imported pf cadres
Why is Mangango so hot with UPND this and that am not hearing a lot about MMD or other parties? What’s so special about Mangango? |

You Asked: Did My Boyfriend Cheat?.<< |
After weeks of pushing ahead due to unforeseen circumstances and continuous persuasion, December 17th, 2009 was the opportune day decided to celebrate Kannada Rajyothsava in IBS-Bangalore.
It’s always said that it doesn’t take too much to bring something to life, when there is a force of desire driving it. This was exactly something that, we, the organizing committee realized. Just two days before ‘the’ day it was communicated to us by a zealous senior student Harish, about the event.
In line with expectations it was all it took to motivate a bunch of Kannadigas to come together and get the wheel rolling, but commendable was the support shown by non-local students of IBS. The fact that 17th December was also celebrated as an ethnic day made the occasion an interesting affair for the 300 strong members that attended the event on the day.
The program was inaugurated by Prof T.R. Venkatesh, Director IBS-B and other dignitaries present.
Students of IBS-B, Rajatha and Prithveesh set the right tone to the program by invoking blessings of the Holy Lord through their enchanting voices.
The other attraction of the day was the local professional folk dance ‘Dhollu Kunita’ group, who performed signifying the rich cultural heritage of Karnataka.
Main eye-catchers of the day were a 20 strong team of visually challenged kids that came from ‘Samarthanam’ lead by the talented Mr. Nagesh (an international Artist, Professional singer and a Mimix Master Ceremony). The kids performed with so much zeal and passion, that it prompted the IBS junta to come up with an impromptu dance on a Kannada song.
The event was also graced by Smt. Saraswathi Murthy, an exponent in Carnatic classical music also a regular performing artiste at All India Radio. She enthralled the audience with her devotional songs.
The day also saw the students and faculties judged on their attires for the ethnic wear competition. While Himanshu and Sudha from the students staked their claim on the best dressed students’ awards, the faculties lead by Prof. Dakshina Kanthy and Prof. Nityananda showed that they were up to the task by winning the best dressed lady and Gentleman awards.
Special delicacies of Karnataka like ‘BisiBeleBaath’ and ‘Dharwad Pedha’were served to everyone present on the day.
Like all good things that come to an end, our program also concluded with Prof. Sukesh Kumar giving away prizes for the day and the hosts Sanjay and Uthra thanking the organizing committee and the audience for their gracious presence that made the event a huge success.

Someone correct > me if I'm wrong. I'm actually running the qstat query on 'localhost', would that make any difference? I was just thinking, perhaps what I should be monitoring is the logfiles. They would have the team info, etc. But then I'm back at square one, because I have no idea how to parse those logs into a useable console output :-( It's not a biggie, I've got pretty much what I wanted, ie. I can see from my screen session now the console, the mapcycle, and now the serverinfo re map, time, etc. That's pretty cool in my books :-) More Googlin'...

I printed this recipe from Williams-Sonoma's website several years ago. It was literally one of the very first recipes in the "to be made" pocket of my recipe binder. Recently, I cleaned out said pocket and pitched the recipes I knew I would never make. Luckily, this one made the cut. Wonder of wonders, I happened to have some gorgonzola on hand so I baked these up on a whim to accompany Sunday dinner.
Gorgonzola Popovers: The link is to How Sweet Eats because I can't find the recipe on W-S anymore. You likely have all ingredients on hand as long as you have the cheese. Popovers can be finicky. You can't open the oven. You're supposed to use room temperature eggs and milk. You're looking for the perfect golden brown POP. These are made in a mini muffin tin and I cut the recipe in half. I didn't let my dairy come to room temp (who has time for that) so I don't know if that made a difference or not. Regardless, these babies were gooooooooood. Like, holy yum, good. The cheese adds a delightful saltiness to the popover dough. I didn't have fresh parsley but dried sufficed. I followed the heating directions exactly and did not open the oven like a good little chef. If you're a smelly blue cheese fan, you will DIE for these.
I want to hear what you have to say. Really! |

Ship no.2 for Uspez's variation on a theme challenge.
Actually, this is ship no.3; no. 2 is waiting on parts,
so this was a spontaneous build in the meantime.
Colours this garish call for a racer. Or possibly a
new type of fighter that blinds enemy pilots when
they look at it...
Nothing revolutionary going on here build-wise, but a
hellofvalotta fun anyway. I got the name Ryukin from a type
of goldfish, in case you're wondering. Yes, I'm going
for a fish theme with my names at the moment...
The pilot has a tinted visor so he doesn't burn out his corneas getting into the cockpit.
Used minifig cups for exhaust nozzles.
Breakdown of the canopy/wing assembly.
Spare lime green pieces

Dear Mr. Ocean (if that is in fact your real name) I have just returned from my optometrist and psychiatrist. I am obligated to inform you that you will be receiving a rather inflated bill for both of them. The eye doctor for the intense nerve damage and irreversable cornia scaring and from the shrink for the nightmares I have suffered over the past three weeks from looking at this piece of trash. I hope your satisfied with yourself. Sincerely ~ Chris Phipson.

This is a beautiful ship, Shannon. It's like nothing I've ever seen. That's what makes it so great. On the subject of the email you sent me, I just didn't find the skeleton rowboat crew that entertaining. And I agree with the guy on Keith Goldman's 'Black Fantasy' Creation. Just because Goldman made it doesn't mean it deserves a 5. I gave it a 5, I thought the play on words was funny [and the bubbly jacuzzi was really good]. Back to this MOC, what makes you such a great builder is your unique design. You use color combinations only you would even think of and only you would dare to use. This is a great example of that, beatuiful ship. 5/5

Samia Smith & Freya: A Pretty Pair
English actress Samia Smith was snapped toting her 2-year-old daughter Freya onto the set of the ITV soap Coronation Street in Manchester, England on Monday (November 28).
The actress - who plays character Maria Connor on the program - made headlines early this year when she separated from her property developer husband Matthew Smith after six years of marriage and began dating her 34-year-old co-star Will Thorp within weeks of announcing the separation.
Interestingly enough, Will also ended his seven year marriage to wife Samantha - mother of his two children - before Christmas.
Although the couple claim to have left their respective spouses before they began dating, Matthew isn't buying it, stating,
"They have to live with what they have heard that she'd split from her husband, but I didn't know she and Will Thorp were together! Interesting. Freya's gotten so big, she's adorable.
Uh-oh, the crazies that always complain about British stars being featured here will surely have a coronary when they see this!

Free prostitutes … luxury yachts … big cash payments … free Cadillacs. All to influence a bunch of powerful men.
It reads just like the Jack Abramoff scandal, or the Duke Cunningham scandal. Or the tales of similar influence peddling that takes place on Wall Street but that get ignored unless they involve someone like Client 9.
But instead it’s a 7,000-word expose of all the players University of Miami booster and recently convicted Ponzi schemer, Nevin Shapiro, allegedly rewarded while they were at Miami.
For the football fans among you, it’ll be interesting for the lurid details, for the third strike in recent memory to the NCAA’s claims to be running an amateur football program, for claims of a $5,000 bounty placed–but never rewarded–for knocking Tim Tebow out of a game, and for the pro players–like Vince Wilfork, Jonathan Vilma, Devin Hester, and Willis McGahee–implicated in this.
But for the moment (until Trash Talk, I guess), I just wanted to salute the journalism that went into it.
Mind you, this story did not–as the Duke Cunnnigham story did–actually discover the story. Yahoo says it 100 hours of jailhouse interviews with Shapiro; it appears he wanted to tell the story to the press at the same time as he cooperated with the Feds and NCAA to ensure he accomplished his objective: revenge on those who blew him off after he got busted..
And Yahoo’s task may have been helped by the sheer volume of detail released in Shapiro’s Ponzi trial.
Nevertheless, they’ve gone to great length, over 11 months time, to recreate Shapiro’s story, down to pictures and receipts.
Yahoo! Sports.
And unlike the Duke Cunningham and Abramoff scandals, this reporting does a good job of thoroughly implicating the big names, down to the two Escalades Shapiro claims to have bought Wilfork.
So why am I bringing this up on a Wednesday, when I should be blogging politics (aside from the fact that you all should read it). Just to imagine what would happen if political journalism could replicate all this–if we could get thorough stories of the parties and prostitutes used to influence the powerful men ruining our country.
It helps, mind you, that’s there’s still big money in sports. Yahoo Sports apparently have the resources to support this 11-month investigation. And it helps, too, that NCAA rules make these allegations real violations in a way that they wouldn’t be for banksters (but clearly are for politicians).
One more thing we’ll see from the comparison, I bet. In the same way that an alleged Roger Clemens lie was treated with far more aggressiveness than, say, Scott Bloch’s lies, I suspect these violations (particularly now that Yahoo has exposed them) will be punished more aggressively than most similar allegations made about politicians.
And UF won’t make Aubrey Hill (), who is now receivers coach and recruiting coordinator here, available to the press. Not mentioned in either the Yahoo or Sun stories is the fact that Hill played his college ball at UF under Spurrier. UF needs to fire his ass now instead of hiding him.
And note that Shapiro used the alias Teddy Dupay (), who was Donovan’s first recruit at UF. Teddy was a point guard on the basketball team but got run out of town for involvement in gambling. And holy crap, now he’s doing MLM for weed legalization? ()
Not a little ironic that the guy who announced the NCAA penalties on USC, was a MFIC at Miami all the while this was going on.
Also not a little ironic that a strong case can be built that all the benefits the players and coaches and the U got were part and parcel of the Ponzi scheme, and are therefore subject to clawback. All the way down to Devin Hester’s rims.
And also not a little ironic that this story broke (though the NCAA knew it was coming for months) the day after the Second Circuit supported the trustee in the Bernie Madoff case, in his attempts to recover money from the “net winners” in Madoff’s scheme.
@scribe: Right. Now if only we can figure out who Madoff was “a booster” for.
Revenge, revenge, revenge.
Shapiro’s motivation, according to NPR.
All lies are not treated equally?
One reason for lack of solid investigative reporting is resources.
The Globule has cut back drastically to stay
afloat…
Thanks, EW, for the link to the Yahoo Sports story. I agree it is good reporting: 15 prison interviews and reading all those financials.
Shapiro’s ponzi scheme apparently spread to the Big Ten (Leader’s Div.); the Madison *Cap-Times* reported yesterday that UW-Madison A.D. Barry Alvarez got taken for $1M by Shapiro. The *Cap-Times* hints that U of Miami president (and former UW-Madison chancellor, and HHS Secty) Donna Shalala was the go-between.
@joberly: Ah, see? Now we’re getting into political influence peddling.
I would not be surprised if the FL sports money and the FL political monies, used to influence and own the power in both arenas, converge revealing the same people.
Would be an interesting story to follow…
Spot on, I have written several times about the we-refuse-to-do-our-job-type-of-journalism. My most recent observations can be found here:
My take on the difference:
What athletes do for a living must be, by definition, out in the open. [If no-one saw you do it, you didn't actually do it.] So there’s much less opportunity to “punish” a journalist for digging and writing an expose’. What politicians do for a living is 99% secret. If you mess with them, they stop talking to you and then you, the journalist, can’t do your job.
One of the reasons that “sports” crime gets better investigative reporting than “politician” crimes, is the very simple fact of life that Americans, like most citizens of all countries, care far more for their sports than they do for their politicians.
As one who views most sportsters as offering little of redeeming value to the actual meaning of life, you can well imagine where I place politicians.
I’m not saying that sports isn’t fun, exciting, pleasurable, etc. for both the participant and the viewer.
Rather that in my view it’s on par with cotton candy in nutritional value.
As a now virtuously reformed sports addict, I take my banishment from Trash Talk with dignified aplomb. :-)
Colin Cowherd today on ESPN radio says if there ever was a reason to institute the NCAA Death Penalty that Miami would deserve it, but that it will not happen, as Uof M is in the TBTF category.
@klynn: Sorry for the delay on yours and others’ comments.
I had tried to fix the spam coming in backstage. Saw it wasn’t working right. Thought I had turned it off. BUt I guess not.
@emptywheel: Are those “Pingback” comments some of the spam you’re dealing with?
And, anything we as commenters should be doing or not doing to help?
@emptywheel:
Hey, no problem. A long time ago on a site that starts with H, I made a perfectly fine comment and asked a question. My question was so good, I was told I was attacking the writer and that I was banned.
So, sometimes, I get concerned about how my comments come off… I did not mean to badger…Sorry.
@MadDog: Nope. Just playing with a few things backstage to try to improve the new digs.
@emptywheel: While you’re decorating: it would be nice if you can add a link to the next post at the bottom of the page so that when a page is refreshed, you can see a new post is up when you reach the bottom of the comments. You had this at FDL and it was much handier than scrolling back to the top. (Yeah, call me lazy…)
Back on the topic of the sports scandal, I am still very upset that UF isn’t distancing itself from Aubrey Hill. At the very least, he should be suspended from his recruiting coordinator role. As I see it, he can’t claim ignorance of what was going on at the U (or Uhh as we call it in my household, for how you read the logo on the helmets) since he was recruiting coordinator there. In that role, it was his responsibility to know what was going on and to prevent exactly the sorts of gifts to recruits that are described. Three folks should bear the brunt of the blame for the recruiting part of the problems, in order: head coach, recruiting coordinator and the athletic department’s compliance officer. Since Hill sat in the middle of the hierarchy, the only way I see him surviving is if he was acting as an internal whistleblower (which I very much doubt).
Cheesehead news
Green Bay Police Department Badges Now Feature The Packers Logo
@JohnT: Right,and did you see it only honors the SB XLV winners. What about I, II, and XXXI ?
Oh, well, since police officers kept their collective bargaining rights in the Walker budget laws, the GB cops should be able to keep the logo as a future bargaining chip to hold onto current wages & benefits.
Since Yahoo Sports seems to do such a fine job perhaps we can get them to investigate other events if we can “spin” them into a sport category? I can go first. Headline: “Yahoo sports reporter uncovers new evidence in Anthrax cases by using same analysis he used on covering tiger woods mistresses.”
“still big money in sports” – Out here in Oregon we’re wading in, but likely haven’t hit the deep end yet, though Uncle Phil Knight’s patronage for U of O has been an education.
Interesting detail: NCAA (via ESPN) says they’ve been investigating Miami for 5 mos. Yahoo has been working on story for 11. So did NCAA ignore it?
@MadDog:
Soccer clubs in Egypt played a large role in helping organize fans to protest Hosni.
@emptywheel: I think so. But then when Shapiro’s attorney contacted the NCAA directly, they had no choice but to proceed.
Oh, and come to think of it, remember who chaired the infractions committee then: the former AD from Miami.
@Jim White: Oh, hey!
So what is the schedule by which all the implicated coaches left, oh ye Floridian? So did NCAA and Miami use the interim to unload the coaches?
@emptywheel: I’ll need a little time to create a timeline of personnel movements with events in the article. Could be fun. It may be Friday before I’m done due to other time constraints.
@Jim White:
Several schools aren’t very happy that nothing has happened to Miami – yet – while they’ve been hit with heavy penalties for smaller infractions. (Not that I think USC is innocent. They ignored some of their own problems until the problems got big and became public. Similar stuff, minus the Ponzi scheme.)
In related news, the NFL has just split the baby in the Terrelle Pryor question and given most of that baby to him: He gets to join the supplemental draft, but will be suspended for 5 games.
Good thing this Miami story has cautioned the NFL about corruption. |
Team Coaching
The creation of a high performance team depends on the team understanding and uniting on the direction and the leadership style required to achieve the business goals. A team's ability to be consistent and unified has a significant impact upon business performance.
Acorn's Team Coaching Model© has been proven to accelerate a team's ability to become high performing.
VIEW ACORN TEAM COACHING MODEL© >
Team Coaching accelerates team effectiveness. Building upon the team leader's style, it directly assists leaders and their teams to achieve an organisation's strategic goals. It focuses on the team's unique characteristics and applies the five key areas of development to accelerate growth into a high performing team.
Acorn's Team Coaching Model© cuts the time it takes for your team to become a fully effective, high performing asset for your company – improving productivity and profitability.
It distils accepted theories and studies on high-performing business teams into a formula which is tailored to your business needs using coaching tools.
The Team Coaching Questionnaire
The Team Coaching process is supported by our Team Coaching Questionnaire. The questionnaire, independently submitted by all team members including the team leader, builds a picture of stronger and weaker areas of team performance according to its members, and highlights any disparity of views within the team for further investigation. The findings are used alongside other data to enable the team to identify developmental priorities that will result in a higher level of performance.
Team Coaching Repeated
The team coaching process and its associated questionnaire illustrate a moment in time. Two or more iterations can be used to measure progress against the identified performance targets and demonstrate movement towards goals.
Benefits of Team Coaching
'Acorn delivered a most impressive day. The Team Coaching process was an extremely constructive process which broke new ground for us. Looking back, it proved to be the turning point for the team.'

Service Learning
A CJDS education is not one that will focus only on filling students’ minds with information. Rather, our teachers strive to make learning come alive for our students. We want our graduates to emerge from CJDS with a deep sense of commitment to Tikkun Olam – repairing the world – and social responsibility.
It starts with small, daily actions. You will see in our hallways that every garbage can has a recycling bin next to it. And in several designated spaces, Terracycling spaces that collect specific items. At lunch, volunteers from grades 2-6 collect plastic bags, terracycling items, recycling, and compost. All of the collected compost is eventually used to help fertilize the six outdoor classrooms and gardens on our campus.
Beginning in kindergarten, our students take field trips to the Wexner Heritage Village to visit with and help the elderly community members. By fifth and sixth grades, the students visit up to eight times each year with different missions – decorating the sukkah, delivering produce from our gardens, interviewing veterans for Veteran’s Day, or learning together.
In third grade, students can choose to join the Tzedakah Club, which spearheads all of the student fundraising for the school. The group researches important issues going on in the world and organizations that are helping to make change. They then organize fundraisers for those groups. The group focuses on donating what is needed – not just what feels good to us. In this way, we are ensuring that our students are thinking critically about their social responsibilities. We are currently collecting money for disaster relief for the various natural disasters that occurred in fall 2017.
Our graduates often continue in their commitments to Tikkun Olam in ways that are meaningful to them.

2014 Workforce Planning Conference
The theme for this 4th Annual is knowledge exchange on the variety of ways organizations are reconfiguring workforce planning & applying human capital analytics to support business transformation and realize positive business results.
This presents a tremendous new opportunity for human resource practitioners
“The world has changed – In fundamental ways”. In one CEO study they describe this uncertainty as almost like being in uncharted territory.
Every large scale business today is engaged in thinking about the transformation of its business.
What it must become. What are the risks of not becoming this?
And what human capital capability is needed to get there.
Senior Executive Leadership and heads of businesses have never been more open to the involvement of HR and Talent Management to support them with their factual knowledge of the levers of talent and management of the employee life cycle
Finance and IT are open to collaborating with HR, and the workforce intelligence in the organization from technical tools, systems, people, and processes is converging with an evidence based , analytics mindset to reconfigure a workforce planning function within the context of business transformation. There is no cookie cutter formula, nor are companies finding this easy. Culture change is never so.
Most companies identify themselves as being engaged on this journey. Many firms are bunched around the beginning. However the question is not “how do I get started”. It is rather “how do I begin to make inroads in embedding this direction in my company?”
Today an advancing analytics capability in companies is being matched with tremendously enhanced access to data that can drive insight and decisions. It is the practitioners who are doing this work, wherever they sit in the organization, often in collaboration”
Remember every company is thinking about their business transformation in response to their own internal and external changes. Human Resource Business Partners, Strategic COE Leaders, and Human Capital Analytics Executives, along with OE, OD Experts, and other stakeholders, are contributing towards defining which talent is critical, what roles are pivotal, and what workforce needs will drive our strategy. Who do we have, who can we have, what will we need, what gaps might we have, and what is the optimal way to close these gaps? So much is interrelated. Now that we have access to data to know more, how can we apply this data to become more capable as a holistic, integrated, globally aligned organization.

KUCHING: Applicants of the BR1M RM500 monetary aid in seven
parliamentary constituencies in
the state can now avoid the hassle
of having to queue up for hours
just to check on their application status.
Instead, those living in Kuching, Stampin, Serian, Sarikei, Lanang, Sibu and Miri can now do so via online.
The service is an initiative of
SUPP and is available on its website. All the applicants need to do is type in their identification card numbers to check on their statuses.
The website currently has more than 70,000 names of approved applicants.
SUPP president Datuk Seri Peter Chin said his party was the first
to provide the service in the country.
“This will help save a lot of time for the people. They no longer have to queue up for a long time at the Inland Revenue Board’s (IRB) offices or at the district offices just to find out if their application has been approved.
“So it is very convenient for
the people now,” he told reporters after launching the service at Dewan Sa’ati at the party’s headquarters here.
Chin added that the party was prompted to come up with the service after seeing the number of people lining up at offices throughout the state.
He added that SUPP would have provided the service earlier, but they could not immediately obtain the soft copy of the list of those who had been approved from the Ministry of Finance.
After the list was obtained, SUPP workers spent two days removing personal information such as the contact number and address of the recipients before it was uploaded to the internet.
SUPP information chief Datuk Sebastian Ting pointed out that the service would be updated as soon
as new lists of recipients were
available since approval was given
in phases.
“If you check your status on the website now and there is no information about you, do not worry. We are now on the third phases and there are still two more phases to go,” he said.
Ting revealed that the Internet service was actually sparked by the SMS blast that Miri SUPP had sent out to successful applicants of the BR1M aid.
“The SMS system was even
more tedious because we had to manually key in the contact numbers of some 20,000 people,” Ting said.

Your Weekly Horoscope Has Arrived & The Truth Could Be Stranger Than Fiction
Something’s simmering below the surface—and this Friday, February 1, it could erupt like Mount St. Helens. As in-your-face Mars in Aries clashes with volcanic Pluto in Capricorn in a fierce square, a cesspool of secrets could spew to the surface. Though half of you may feel like running for cover, good luck turning away from this hot (lava) mess. The truth could be stranger than fiction, and it’s going to take a moment to digest it all. If something feels off, follow your intuition and investigate. Be as stealth as a panther, however. Clumsily handled cases could give the secret keepers a chance to destroy key evidence. On a personal level, moods may be stormy leading up to Friday. Should your inner Voldemort drop by for a visit, do whatever it takes to stay peaceful and centered, even if you ARE righteously incensed. flows into a harmonizing trine with innovative Uranus.? Sure, it’s hibernation season, but.
On Sunday, decadent Venus hunkers down in driven Capricorn until March 1, streamlining our love goals. So much for that casual dating situation. Nebulous relationships require sharper definition. Exclusivity is not required, but don’t label a Thursday night shag “moving toward something real,” just because it happens on a weekly basis after trivia night. Have an honest talk! Couples can use this pragmatic cycle to align schedules and plans—and produce something memorable as a pair. Sure, a game-changing Valentine’s Day counts, but think bigger! Map out your one-year (or five-year) goals; share bucket lists (in bed). Some couples might discover a deal breaker through this process. Uh-oh. If one person is dreaming of white picket fences in suburbia while the other is thinking white sand beaches in five different surf towns, it’s best to know now. As a consolation, cool-headed Venus in Capricorn can turn mismatched lovers into friends. Are things on track for a happily ever after? Valentine’s Day could come with all the trimmings this year, so pay the premium for those imported Parisian bonbons and the “supersize-me” bouquet of long-stems.
Aries
We’d hardly blame you if you’re still stewing over a work injustice earlier this week, but that doesn’t give you permission to go on a rant or embarrass anyone. Still, it may be hard to keep a lid on your frustration come Friday, February 1, when your cosmic custodian, rash Mars, in your sign clashes with manipulative Pluto in your professional sector. Authority issues could flare then spiral out of control, and you might get caught up in the emotional tornado. It’s up to you to find a mature and effective way to let the offender—or someone in the position to rectify things—know how you feel. You may not get the resolution you desire, but at least you will have expressed your disenchantment (without burning any bridges). But if you can’t beat ‘em—and you don’t care to join ‘em—use this righteous indignation to fire up your passions and propel you toward something that’s more aligned with your values and work ethic. While you’re waiting to see where the chips will fall, take your internal temperature and determine if, where and how you can make some shifts and uplevel your game. This may be anything from dressing in a more traditionally professional manner to getting advanced training to looking for a new job where you won’t have to suffer fools, lightly or otherwise.
Breaking the mold—or at least mixing up your weekend routine—this Saturday would be good for your heart and soul. With playful Venus in Sagittarius harmonizing with indie-spirited Uranus in your sign, your wanderlust and appetite for adventure will be dialed WAY up. Anything familiar or tried-and-true will be too bland for you, so go for the gusto! Even a brief out-of-town change of scenery can be inspirational. And if there’s a cultural or culinary event taking place, even better. Check the weather, dress and pack accordingly, then hit the road—or the skies, if you can possibly pull off an impromptu longer trip. You’re up for meeting creative people, and if you’re currently unattached, who knows what kind of synergy might emerge. An open mind and empty schedule are the only prerequisites to sparking a romantic bonfire!
Make hay while Venus is trining Uranus because on Sunday, the love planet changes signs, downshifting from excitable, intrepid Sagittarius to more grounded and future-focused Capricorn and your career sector until March 1. “Married to the job” is a perfect tagline for Venus in Capricorn, but how fun is that? Still, you may need to devote more time to professional projects than amorous pursuits. If you’re in a relationship, carve out swaths of time for bae. Even if you have to sacrifice some vital solo moments, it’ll be worth it to signal your devotion. Single? Those industry networking events may turn up more than a few valuable business leads, if you know what we mean…
Taurus
Go big or go home! If you try to downplay your dreams on Friday, February 1, the universe may check you. With energizing Mars firing up your twelfth house of dreams and imagination, you’ve got some big ideas up your bespoke sleeve. And thanks to a galvanizing beam from Pluto in your visionary ninth house, you may not be able to “sleep on it.” This is a perfect day to test-drive one of your plans, even if that just means running it by a mentor to get a sense of whether this is doable, and what elements you might be overlooking or underplaying. If you’ve done all the legwork and preparations and are practically ready to launch, get one final opinion and then take a leap of faith. But no shortcuts! Even if it doesn’t seem like a biggie to skip a couple of steps or gloss over a few details, you can’t afford to cut corners under this transit. Most essential is maintaining your reputation AND self-respect. With your ninth house activated, honesty is the only policy. If you’re not sure about something, don’t try to fake it. Tell people you’ll look into that and get back to them (and then do!). With Mars on the loose in your fantasy zone, you may have to log a little overtime to keep it real—but it’s more than worth it.
Skip the boozy brunches and gossip-fueled gatherings this Saturday, as enchantress Venus aligns with alchemical Uranus in your most mystical, magical chart regions. You won’t be happy with anything mundane. Your intuition will be on high alert, and you’ll be able to tap into higher realms if you can spend time in a quiet place and tame your thoughts. Stay home, drop into a meditation group or get an energy healing. You’re an innately sensual creature, Taurus, but this cosmic coupling coaxes you to think beyond the “big five.” See how much play you can find in your sixth sense, which will be more attuned than usual under this clairvoyant confab. Pay attention to body language and tone of voice more than people’s words. What’s NOT being expressed can be more revealing than what is. But no need to call anyone out. Just be the wise witness, and file away your observations to use for your own advantage at some time in the future.
Spread your wings and soar on Sunday! Your ruler, gentle Venus, wings into Capricorn and your adventurous ninth house until March 1. While she was in Sagittarius and your internally focused eighth house since January 7, you may have been mistaken for a hermit, but now that the vixen planet is out and about again, you can get busy making that list of everything you NEED to do, all the places you HAVE to go, and all the exciting people you want to ride shotgun with you over the next four weeks. But to accomplish half of this, you’ll need an organized roster as well as a sense of your own priorities. For instance, you can’t become a regular on the local circuit AND spend a month writing your memoir in Ko Samui. And whether you’re single or shacking up, traveling might be your passport to romance this month. Coupled Bulls will enjoy being “anywhere but here,” especially if you’re already over winter—and it’s not nearly over itself. Unattached? Tap a friend and head to a famous singles destination, or invite your crush du jour and see if you really click. Even if you come home on separate flights, at least you’ll (hopefully) have had a sweet little holiday.
Gemini
Keep it casual or go deep? Your emotions may waver on Friday, February 1, as lusty Mars in your platonic sector clashes with intensifier Pluto in your eighth house of seduction, merging and intimacy. Single? Part of you may prefer a no-strings-attached steamy hookup—possibly with a friend or acquaintance. While all’s fair between consenting adults, don’t lead anyone on if you know you don’t want anything serious now. If you do dabble with a pal, talk it through so you don’t needlessly destroy a solid and important connection. You might THINK you can handle it, but your emotions will be dialed up under this Mars-Pluto transit, and you could be struck by a wave of jealousy, resentment or possessiveness. You may experience those feelings with a non-romantic partner as well. Stay mindful of what’s going on inside your psyche and tame those knee-jerk reactions. Attached? If you suspect bae of something unsavory, be slow to accuse but quick to don your detective’s chapeau and get some evidence. For all you know, they’re planning a sweet surprise for you—but this distrusting behavior could cause them to rethink the whole thing.
Things should settle down on Saturday, when equilibrium is restored and you’re back in your social, upbeat groove. With affectionate Venus in your partnership realm sweetly aligned with community-minded Uranus in your friendship zone, you’ll be in the mood to gather the tribe and hold a powwow. Whatever you get up to, grab a few more seats than you may have planned for, or get another person to drive since your little retinue could turn into a caravan! Is there a winter market in town or within driving distance? Is the art theater doing a mini-marathon of a favorite director? With you back in your high-vibe element, you’ll have no trouble finding the festivities. Note: You’ll probably be happiest and most inspired hanging with creative, left-of-center artists, inventors and iconoclasts. And if you’re flying solo, a meeting of the minds could turn into a melting of the hearts, so don’t judge a book by its cover!
Sunday’s stars turn up the heat on your amorous life as vixen Venus sidles into Capricorn and your erotic and sensual eighth house until March 1. Regardless of your current relationship status, this is a perfect moment to give your lingerie drawer a refresh and to pick up an outfit that makes you feel sexy. A sizzling attraction could heat up when you least expect it, and you’ll want to be ready to spring into action. In earthy Capricorn, the love planet can give you a sense of groundedness and turn your thoughts to the future and commitment. The eighth house intensifies desires, but if you know you want something with potential, put strong filters in place before things go too far—because in the heat of the moment, you won’t have the best judgment. Coupled Geminis may be eager to take your bond to a deeper level, whether moving in together or going ring shopping together. Could your love life use a little rekindling? It could be reheated with that new lingerie and some boudoir experimentation. If the rift is deeper, you might need to turn to a professional.
Cancer
So much for that neat balance between your personal and professional lives, Cancer! You had been doing a decent job—then WHAM! Driven Mars in your career zone squares off with manipulative Pluto in your relationship realm, throwing you for a major loop. Before you toss in the towel—or go off on a rant you’ll instantly regret—pull back and try to view the larger picture. While it’s a nice fantasy to believe you can please all the people all the time, you know perfectly well that you can’t; no one can. This is where things like “prioritizing” and “picking your battles” come into play. (Also standing your ground and not letting anyone—neither boss nor lover—guilt-trip you into doing something that doesn’t sing to your soul.) Striking an equilibrium entails deciding what is most urgent. Map out a timeline for what has to be done by when. Then have a calm and loving sit-down with your partner or anyone who feels short-changed by your work. First explain what you have to do and what you might be able to put off, then talk about how you two will spend your time together, giving you both something to look forward to. At work, hash out a realistic plan with your manager or team members and commit to your part, even if it means burning the midnight oil a few nights (or several). But if this is going to threaten your partnership—or your chances of getting into one—let them know your bottom line. If you don’t put up boundaries and limits now, it may never happen!
Get ahead on work assignments by “stealing” a little time this Saturday, when you’ll have wind in your sails from a harmonious alignment of activator Uranus in your professional zone and dedicated Venus in your work and service sector. You’ll be firing on all cylinders and might hit on THE perfect solution or system for an issue that’s had you stymied. Set your alarm for an hour earlier than usual; skip out on the mimosa-soaked brunch. Even a few uninterrupted hours will be highly productive. And if you have even more time on your hands, turn this industrious energy toward a personal organization project you never find the time for. With a little focus, you’ll make tons of progress, and by merging Venus’ aesthetic eye with Uranus’ innovative streak, you might actually reinvent the wheel—and an eye-popping one at that!
You’ll be happy you cleared some work off your plate and tidied up the bedroom on Sunday. Love planet Venus zooms into Capricorn and your seventh house of relationships until March 1, intensifying your urge to merge. Capricorn energy is grounded, committed and willing to wait for something that’s worth it. Single? Add some dazzling new photos to your online dating profile, fluff up your blurb, head out to a well-known mingling spot and work your Venus-powered mojo. Attached? Over the next four weeks, focus on bringing more romantic moments to your union, canceling non-essential plans and making your S.O. top priority. And since Venus rules not only romance but the arts, this cycle may launch an inspired creative collaboration. Hmm, could your bandmate also be your bedmate?
Leo
Friday’s starmap brings a needed reality check. Your big-hearted sign doesn’t have an “off” switch when it comes to giving, but as the week draws to a close, you might find yourself desperately searching for it! On Friday, February 1, a tense Mars-Pluto square may clue you to the fact that someone has been taking advantage of your magnanimous nature. At work, you may have been carrying the weight for a person who always has an explanation for why they can’t put in 100 percent: sick parents, no child care, car problems…you name it. In your personal life, you may have been doing the Lion’s share of housework, grocery shopping (and paying!) or simply giving your mate more attention and affection than you’ve been getting in return. As a self-reliant fire sign, you like to THINK you don’t need anyone to fill those needs for you. But you’re still an emotional human being, and with that comes the desire to bond with someone on a deep and mutual level. A tough but essential question to ask yourself is: Why DO you give so much? Could this be an attempt to “win” someone’s love or loyalty? Can you believe that people do love you for who you are, not what you do for them? We’re not saying this is easy, but it IS essential if you feel any relationships are skewed.
Ready for some sexual healing? The doctor is IN this Saturday as flirty Venus in your frisky fifth house tag-teams with liberated Uranus in your adventure zone. If you’re flying solo, this is a perfect day/night to get your glam on and paint the town vermilion as only a jungle royal can do. See if you can leave the “agenda” and judgments at home and just be in the moment—that’s when you’re at your most magnetic and charismatic. Talk to people with an open, friendly vibe: Don’t try to “figure them out.” Odds are, the less you try, the more likely you’ll be to get exactly what you’re hoping for! Attached? Shed the comfy house clothes, dress up and go out and do something that says romance to you, whether that’s a candlelit white-tablecloth dinner or a head-banging live concert. That you’re doing it—and loving it—together is the whole point. This is also a highly creative day, so if you’re in the middle of an artistic or passion project, carve out a few hours and tune in to the Muse channel!
Turn that passion toward yourself on Sunday, when gentle Venus swings into Capricorn and your sixth house of healthy living and self-care until March 1. It’s easy for your noble sign to put others’ needs and desires first, but at what price? Healing and true beauty is an inside job, and this Venus cycle can ignite your lit-from-within glow. You’ve got a few weeks to get some new habits in place and set a few realistic goals for yourself. How can you tweak your meals to attain more sustained energy and help you feel lighter and more “at home” in your body? Are you getting enough exercise? That doesn’t have to be a structured class or routine, you know. Walking, cycling and dancing are all wonderful ways to move your body. Find things you actually enjoy doing, and it’ll never feel like a struggle.
Virgo
Love is patient, love is kind…and as the week rolls to an end, love might be seething with intense emotions that may burst through to the surface! On Friday, February 1, lusty Mars in your erotic eighth house locks (sharp!) horns with manipulative Pluto in your fifth house of passion and desire. Whew, can someone open a window please? You’ll be feeling strongly about someone, but pay attention to where those sentiments lead you. If you can, choose desire, attraction and affection over jealousy, resentment and possessiveness. It may be hard to stay “neutral” under this intensifying alignment, but wrest control of your emotions, Virgo. While it’s exciting and empowering to having all this churning inside you, it’s also easy to lose your cool in the heat in the moment. Mars, especially in Aries and especially in your eighth house, can blind you to others’ feelings as you single-mindedly pursue a personal agenda. This sexually charged transit can blur the line between love and lust, so if you’re not in a committed relationship, remember: You don’t HAVE to act on a strong attraction. If you are attached, watch for those shadowy emotions to crop up today and keep them out of the driver’s seat. Feel them and see what’s underlying them—chances are it’s some old unresolved issue of yours, not theirs, and the best (and only) way to banish it for good is to do some healing work around it.
If you took positive action with a worthy love interest on Friday, things could accelerate on Saturday, when romantic Venus in your home zone gets a supportive beam from change-maker Uranus in your intimate eighth house. Translation: Just like THAT, some Virgos may feel ready to move in with their S.O. or at least clear out a drawer or swath of closet space. Commitment is the word of the day—provided that doesn’t dilute the passion and excitement (which is entirely up to you). No such being on the radar? Invite some folks over and ask them to bring eligible single friends. If romance isn’t your focus this weekend, you can exploit this energy by tapping into your own deeply imaginative and spiritual side. Pour through esoteric books or blogs; spend time learning a deck of divination cards and giving yourself or a friend a reading. Get those suppressed emotions out of your head and into your journal. Leaving them all bottled up could be what’s making you feel anxious. Any magazines or newspapers lying around? This could the day you finally do a vision board!
Whatever you have or haven’t been up to, the stakes get raised up considerably on Sunday, when luminous love planet Venus shimmies into Capricorn and your romance house until March 1. Your powers of attraction are astronomically amplified, and like sister-Virgo Beyonce, you could find yourself drunk in love. It’s safe to trust your inner knowing, even if it challenges some of your ingrained “logic.” As that great quote goes, “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.” That person you’re fixated on might be worth saying yes to. Conversely, if you’re simply not feeling it anymore for someone, it’s probably time to make a personnel change.
Libra
Batten down those emotional hatches, Libra. On Friday, February 1, excitable Mars in your partnership house squares off with Pluto, lord of the underworld, sending a rogue wave across your erstwhile calm emotion ocean. Luckily this doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it can rock your idealistic Libra world. But whether you learn to surf this monster wave or capsize is up to you. Your harmony-seeking sign goes to tremendous lengths to keep the peace, yet it doesn’t take much to tip your Libran scales out of whack. And where THEY go, so goes your temperament. A Mars-Pluto tussle is one of the heavier heavenly mashups, and it might really throw you for a loop. What NOT to do: overreact! Remind yourself that as suddenly as this storm rose up, it will die back down, and you don’t want to do any collateral damage in the interim. When the whitecaps simmer down and the clouds part, you’ll see that there IS a silver lining here. Anger, negativity and even bad behavior are part of life—and relationships. Stuffing it down or burying your head in the sand for the sake of getting along doesn’t do anyone any good. So when intense feelings blow in, don’t let them work their way into your cells and organ tissue. Process them internally (or with a therapist type) then find a healthy way to express them. Need inspiration? Focus on the hot makeup sex that’s on the other side of this!
With luck—and a strong resolve—you’ll have steered yourself to a safe emotional harbor by Saturday, which is perfect timing! Your planetary protector, charming Venus, in your outgoing third house is making goo-goo eyes at transformative Uranus in your partnership realm and opening the door for more lighthearted banter and unbridled fun. You’ll find plenty of that in group hangs, but leave ample time for dynamic dueting—with BFFs and BFs (and GFs). And be advised that the line separating all those categories could blur under this innovative angle. Romance might spark with someone from the friend zone or a dating site (since Uranus rules technology). The only thing you can expect, Libra, is the unexpected!
Amorous antics and wild-card adventures may come to a grinding halt on Sunday, when Venus makes her annual nosedive into grounded, traditional Capricorn and your domestic fourth house until March 1. This should neutralize those vertigo-inducing effects of Mars, Pluto and Uranus and bring your personal life into a happier Libran balance. In an LTR? From hearty soups to soft queen-size throws, let “cozy” and “comfy” be your guiding principles. These next few weeks are ideal for getting Chez Libra shipshape, cooking healthy meals, catching up on your TV queue and maybe tackling an aesthetic home project. But keep it flowy and easy—never frenetic and pressured!
Scorpio
Watching your temper might be a mission impossible on Friday, February 1, as your planetary pit bosses, driven Mars and intensifier Pluto, lock horns and ratchet up your stress levels. Mars is in Aries in your persnickety sixth house, and the uneasy square from provocateur Pluto can set you off like a loose cannon. This is a recipe for a heavyweight sparring match, so unless you’re prepared to “go there,” find a way to distract and redirect your thoughts. As a Scorpio, your best weapon is that lethal stinger, but if you’re not ready to walk away from a project, end a relationship or just make a major scene, keep it retracted! (How horrible would it be to find out that there’s no antidote to your poison?) So if you don’t have the wherewithal to hold thy tongue, stay out of the fray and don’t take ANY bait. Close your door, put on the noise-canceling headphones, work from home or a cafe if you can. And if you know someone is gunning for you, do both of you a favor and don’t take their call. This too shall pass, Scorpio, but until it does, you need to stay on your toes.
By Saturday, the inner heat wave should have subsided and you’re back to “normal intense” levels. With celestial support, you can tackle some quotidian tasks, like reviewing bank and credit card statements, paying bills and prepping for the annual migraine that is your taxes. But it doesn’t have to be dry as toast—not with creative Venus beaming pioneering Uranus in your practical houses. Do little things to stay motivated, whether that means cueing up a mood-setting playlist or brewing a pot of that tea you save for special occasions. (And how about a sweet little treat as a reward when you’re done?) If you don’t have pressing obligations outside the house, throw yourself into those cleaning and polishing projects you always WANT to do but never have time for. While you’re at it, how about some digital file maintenance? Update your software, clear out your Inbox and get all those icons off your desktop. Got another hour? Restock the fridge with healthy groceries, which doubles as a “fresh-air” break and is the good kind of multitasking. When it’s all done, you’ll feel organized, grounded and clear-headed. THEN go out and make merry, splurging on a nicer-than-usual meal or bottle of wine to toast your accomplishments.
On Sunday, Venus does a wardrobe change out of Sagittarius and your pragmatic second house and into earthily sensual Capricorn and your flirtatious third house until March 1. Hopefully you crushed your to-do list and have the time and desire to indulge your inner Scorpio coquette. Single? While you CAN keep swiping till your index finger gets a muscle cramp, you’ll have more fun mingling IRL. But be selective. If you’re looking for someone to share interests with, start participating more in your own passions. What floats YOUR boat—live music, writing workshops, art openings, trivia nights? This articulate Venus phase blesses you with the gift of gab, so you won’t need to rehearse an opening gambit. You’ll have them at, “Oh, hey there!”
Sagittarius
Where’s the fire, Archer? You may wake up ready to hit the ground running on Friday, February 1, but tug on those centaur reins! An edgy square between driven Mars in your passionate fifth house and controlling Pluto in your pragmatic second could give you whiplash if you don’t check your speed. This isn’t a comfortable feeling for your independent sign, but sometimes, Sag, you don’t get to do whatever you want, whenever you want to. You can get frustrated and mope, OR you can mine this “restricting” transit for insight. Why are you so eager to tear into that work or relationship? Have you thought through all the potential outcomes (and consequences)? Then, try it from the other direction: What would happen if you stopped pushing so hard and found a way to accept the situation as it is right now? Are you trying to impress someone; compensate for feelings of inadequacy? If you realize your drive isn’t coming from a self-supporting place, loosen up on unrealistic standards and set more doable milestones. This way, when you lighten the internal pressure, you’ll be able to access deeper and wiser parts of yourself and do your absolute best—and most authentic—work or attract a partner who’s on your wavelength.
You’ll be in your free-flowing element on Saturday as charming Venus in your sign sprinkles fairy dust at game-changing Uranus in your fifth house of amour, glamour and creativity. You’ll bring an innovative approach to everything you touch, and people will be amazed at your range of vision. But first, Archer: How about directing a little of that beautifying energy to YOU? When’s the last time you indulged in a spa day (or afternoon), complete with herbal scrub, aromatherapy massage with an add-on Reflexology session? After that, if you still have time and funds, treat yourself to a luxurious salon treatment: hair, nails—or both! Tonight, don’t automatically pull on the same jeans, boots and sweater. There are some eye-popping outfits in that closet of yours, and this is the perfect time to rock one. Find something that matches your mood (more important than the weather, ‘cause you can always call a Lyft) and prepare to turn heads. Single? This transit may bring some sultry surprises, especially if you’re willing to make a first move. Couples are also encouraged to raid their closets and have a little fun with cosplay—or ANY kind of play that turns you both on!
Cupid’s arrows might hit their target on Sunday, when romantic Venus makes her annual foray into grounded Capricorn and your security-minded second house until March 1. The love goddess was strutting through your sign since January 7, which probably featured more than a few erotically tinged episodes. This next phase should bring you down to earth—at least for a few weeks—but you’ll actually enjoy being in a more settled groove. If you’re in a relationship, just getting one off the ground or are currently on a search mission, slow your roll and enjoy each moment, each lingering glance, every touch. This is a sensual cycle, and the true joy will be found in deep and intimate connection.
Capricorn
Loving where you live, Capricorn? If your home isn’t the peaceful oasis you crave, it’s on YOU to take action, this week. If you’ve been cruising along in “good enough” mode for a while, you may reach the end of your (long) rope on Friday, February 1. Provocateur Pluto in your sign is throwing major shade at irritable Mars in your domestic fourth house, making it hard to let things slide. But where to begin? Before you go off on anyone, think about what’s most upsetting to you, then prioritize your list of complaints. Is a roommate slacking on their chores or being messy, noisy or late with payments? If you live with your S.O., how’s the balance of power at home? It’s not “petty” to expect people to be respectful and carry their share of the load. But if you’ve been picking up someone else’s slack, they might assume you’re cool with it and that that’s the new status quo. Reach out today—keeping your own anger or resentment in check—and set up a time to talk things through. Get clear about what you’re proposing, where you’re willing to negotiate, and what will happen if things DON’T change. For your part: Try not to take things personally. This is also a good day to evaluate your most intimate relationships. Are you always the rock for everyone else while you forget to take care of Numero Uno? This transit reminds you to put yourself first. Under this activating Mars-Pluto mashup, you may realize you’re tired of always having to keep the peace. Call a time-out and do YOU for a change!
Saturday’s stars bring some relief as gracious Venus harmonizes with transformative Uranus in your nesting zone. Slide your feet into your bunny slippers, brew up a pot of spicy chai and take a few steps toward turning the Goat Palace into your private isle of calm. It’ll be easier to have “those talks” today since people will be more in sync. You might be inspired to make a quick run to IKEA or another home design store and make some easy but dramatic upgrades. If it’s finally feeling like YOUR home, share those cozy vibes with an intimate dinner party—or just light dozens of strategically placed tea candles and cook a special meal for one VIP guest. Companionship is NOT required, however. So if you simply want an excuse to catch up on your Netflix queue or book club reading, consider this your permission slip (if you even need one!).
You may not be alone for long, starting this Sunday, when charm magnet Venus exits your internal twelfth house and rockets into Capricorn until March 1. This should bring an uptick in your love life and, if you’re unattached, a flock of new admirers. Then again, you might prefer having the “pick of the litter” and not want to settle down until Venus moseys along in a few weeks. Even if you ARE coupled-up, a smidge of innocent flirting will be good for the ego. Just be sensitive to your mate’s feelings, and don’t get carried away with being adored. This Venusian cycle could inspire a style makeover: Something new and unexpected will be fun, but don’t go for anything TOO radical or permanent.
Aquarius
Loose lips can sink an armada on Friday, February 1, Water Bearer, so (try to) think before you blurt! But it may be hard with an anxiety-producing square between shadowy Pluto in your subterranean twelfth house squaring unbridled Mars. Amorphous (yet strong) feelings may be swirling around inside your psyche, but it’s hard for you to separate the strands. Are you: angry, jealous, feeling put upon—or left out? And who, exactly, is this directed at? If all this could just STAY in your head, it might be okay. Problem is, frothing Pluto is forming an exact tense angle to impulsive Mars in your communication center, laying an unfiltered pipeline from your brain to your mouth. This can cause you to come off aggressive, angry, sarcastic, passive-aggressive—or any combination thereof. Your cosmic mandate for the week? Get in touch with the feelings you’ve suppressed before they erupt and spew molten lava on the wrong people. Remember that cosmic rule: What you focus on expands. So as soon as you catch yourself veering into obsession or negativity, stop and redirect before it spins out of control. This is the same approach to breaking any addiction or bad habit. Luckily, you’ve got determination in spades!
Thanks to Saturday’s harmonious hookup of affable Venus and your ruler, community-minded Uranus, in your people houses, you’ll be a social magnet, drawing all types of folks your way. If you’ve been keeping a low (or lower-than-usual) profile lately, this one-day transit will yank you out of seclusion. Slip into something festive and start planning the activities and rounding up the tribe. Keep the guest list open: Once word gets out that Aquarius is waving the social director’s baton, everyone and their pet chiweenie will want to join in on the fun! You could pick up some eager adventurers along the way, but if you just need a day with your innermost circle, then don’t broadcast your whereabouts on social media. If it’s romance you’re seeking, keep your intentions light and playful. Venus in indie-spirited Sagittarius would rather flirt and sample from the buffet table than commit to one dish for life—right now. Take your time and enjoy the “tasting menu”!
Make hay while the sun shines (or the moon glows) because on Sunday, Venus exits that raucous eleventh house and lands in Capricorn and your twelfth house of dreams, intuition and fantasy. Part of you will be eager to climb back into bed while another part is open to experimentation and softening those hard-rock boundaries. One thing that’s sure to help is leading with your heart more than with your head. You can’t think your way to love, but you CAN feel it. Whether you’re single or attached, you’ll know exactly what you need on a deep emotional level if you quiet your mind and tune in. Venus in the twelfth house is also excellent for healing. If you’re dealing with any grief or disappointment, don’t push yourself to “get over it.” Be gentle and surround yourself with supportive friends until Venus wraps up this internally focused phase and zips into your sign on March 1!
Pisces
If your network IS your net worth, Pisces, is your stock rising—or plummeting? The starmap of Friday, February 1, may have you questioning your innermost circle and how much value you’re deriving from certain people. Transformational Pluto in your social sector is making a rare but dramatic square with motivated Mars in trailblazing Aries. You often put your own needs second to others’, but whether you realize it or not, that leads to resentment, competitive feelings and sometimes even rage. That may sound a little intense for you, but if you allow yourself to really feel what you’re feeling about those fair-weather friends or colleagues, you’ll be eager to make some major shifts. You don’t have to actually DO anything—except step back and decide for yourself whether you’d benefit from a little “herd thinning.” Anyone who doesn’t out-and-out enhance your life is questionable. As for frenemies who put you down with subtle (or not-so-subtle) digs, start writing up those metaphoric pink slips now. And with Mars churning things up in your money house, look at how you share financial responsibilities with others. If things aren’t CLOSE to equitable, find a way to rebalance the scales. On the flip side, this little exercise may shine a light on people who are always there for you and often treat YOU to things. Think of ways you can show your appreciation, whether with a sweet little gift or a fancy lunch in the near future.
You may not shift immediately into high weekend gear on Saturday, Pisces: You’ve got more important things on your mind than where to brunch or which Oscar-nominated matinee to go to. With creative Venus in your ambitious career house sweetly synced up with game-changing Uranus in your money zone, you might be fine-tuning a project that will tick every button from “personally gratifying” to “profitable.” But this isn’t something you can dash off in half an hour and expect it to fly. Give this idea your undivided attention, logging out of all social sites and silencing your phone so you don’t get distracted. Once you get a little traction, you may be amazed at how much you can accomplish—and how brilliant a plan this is! And don’t think you have to come up with all the answers yourself. Turn to someone you trust 100 percent and who’s got experience in this arena and get their feedback. This might turn into a win-win collaboration!
Come Sunday, your mind is onto totally different things as ardent Venus leaves your work zone and marches into Capricorn and your enlightened eleventh house. Friends and social activities move up your priority list. You might feel ready to join a club or activist organization after getting to know some of the members. Romantically, this is a playful time for single and attached Fish. Couples will enjoy doing things with mutual friends or centering dates around challenging activities, like serious hiking or hard-core trivia nights. If you’re in the dating game, try some new sites or strategies for meeting more people. Keep expectations lower for first dates—even as you keep your own standards high! The eleventh house rules technology, and with sensual Venus here, you could finally swipe on someone with keeper potential.

N.O. Bowl Update – Saturday, 12/17, 3:45 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS – All the way through Friday, it was easy to find UL football fans in the Crescent City. They were the ones in red, traveling in groups and taking part in the organized activities of the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
Saturday was a different story.
They’re everywhere.
Before, it was at the New Orleans Marriott on Canal Street, or at Walk-On’s on Poydras, or maybe a couple of other designated locations. Now, there’s not a restaurant or bar that doesn’t have some type of UL influence, and the red blob appears to be growing. It’s like a constantly spreading amoeba, devouring whatever’s in its path.
You can’t walk 10 steps anywhere downtown without bumping into someone wearing “Ragin’ Cajun” or New Orleans Bowl apparel.
There’s still a big crowd at Walk-On’s, where the Sports Radio KPEL group gave way to the Hot 107.9 crew beginning at 2 p.m. For the first time this week, the beer taps there – they’ve got them built into each one of the sitting booths on a serve-yourself basis – were getting a severe workout.
And the lobby of the Marriott was still jammed and loud. Former Cajun running back Thomas Jackson, whose 35-carry, 175-yard rush outing in the mud of the 1983 Homecoming win over La. Tech still ranks among the Cajuns’ best-ever individual efforts, was looking for tickets a friend had
left.
Bobby Champagne, Acadiana native, former UL assistant basketball coach and now head coach at North Alabama, stood out in the crowd at the Marriott in his purple UNA warmup. His team plays UNO Monday night, but he came in early in support of UL coach Mark Hudspeth, who had huge success as head coach at UNA earlier in his career.
But now it’s not just at those locations. The Cajun Nation has taken over a lot of other places.
Acme Oyster House, just off Royal, had a line outside, and almost everyone in line wore UL jackets or sweatshirts (it’s cooler than most expected Saturday afternoon). A big group of Cajun supporters were on a balcony over Café Maspero on Decatur Street, throwing beads.
Even the Riverside Hilton – the headquarters hotel for the San Diego State Aztecs – was filled with Cajun fans. Luke Mandola, owner of the semi-world-famous Ragin’ Cajun restaurant in Houston, was holding court there. Long-time Cajun fan Gene Lognion was in the Hilton lobby, his laugh echoing off the walls. St. Thomas More athletic director Kim Broussard was sporting a “USL Ragin’ Cajuns” warmup top (“I’m old school,” he was laughing) while having lunch and hopefully some charbroiled oysters at Drago’s Restaurant inside the Hilton.
UL director of athletics Scott Farmer left the Marriott around 3 p.m. and headed for the Ragin’ Cajun Athletic Foundation (RCAF) tailgate party at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He also had a list of a dozen different suites in the Superdome that are being used by the Cajun faithful tonight, and he planned to visit every one – and there are probably more that he doesn’t have on his list.
All the other tailgating and pre-game activities for the rest of the afternoon are in or near the ‘Dome, so it’s almost time to head that way. After all, it’s only four hours until kickoff.. |
It used to be you were told the way to protect yourself against falls was to take calcium to strengthen your bones. And then pretty much just hope for the best.
But that kind of thinking, combined with the fact we’re living longer than ever, has led to a steep jump in more serious and even deadly falls. In fact, between 2007 and 2016 fatal falls skyrocketed by 31 percent.
And if you’re not doing something to reduce your own risk, you could be the next victim.
Reduce your falling risk with these 5 tricks
Around one in three adults 65 or older will fall at least once a year, according to researchers. But together we can help make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Because there are changes you can make, starting now, that can help keep you solidly on your feet for many years to come. In fact, experts say one of them alone could slash your risk of falling by up 39 percent.
Keep reading to discover how to “fall-proof” yourself in your retirement years.
1. Ditch the couch:
It turns out you can take a HUGE bite off your fall risk simply by staying active. In fact, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force when you trade time on the couch for activities that keep you moving you can slice 10 to 20 percent off your fall risk.
And being active doesn’t just mean formal exercise alone. It can also mean everything from gardening to volunteering at your church bake sale. The idea is to just keep moving and avoid being sedentary which ultimately leads to weakening muscles.
2. Exercise:
Move beyond simply being active to three or more hours of exercise a week and you can reduce your fall risk by a stunning 39 percent.
And remember, regular exercise doesn’t mean you have to spend all your time at the gym. There are all kinds of fun ways to fit your exercise in including…
- swimming
- square dancing
- fitness classes
- brisk walking
- golfing (without the cart)
- deep cleaning the house
- yoga
- tai-chi
- resistance bands
- bike riding
Pick out activities that you love to do and you’ll never get bored. Just make sure that to keep some strength and resistance training in the mix to build up your muscle strength.
And as a bonus, research shows you’ll live longer too. Fitting in just two exercise sessions a week could increase your longevity by 15 years, according to one study.
3. Focus on better balance:
According to aging experts between the ages of 50 and 70, most folks lose 30 percent of the muscle power they had when they were younger. And those weakening muscles can cause you to become unsteady on your feet leading to falls.
The good news is there’s plenty of research to show that muscle loss isn’t inevitable. You can fight it AND rebuild what you’ve lost with the strength and resistance training I mentioned earlier.
In one study, folks who kept up their training for 18 to 20 weeks improved their overall muscle strength by 25 to 30 percent. Using resistance bands, doing squats (using a chair for balance), doing modified pushups, tai chi, and yoga all count.
As you rebuild your lost muscle strength, you will find your balance automatically begins to improve as well. You can help it along by focusing on moves to improve your balance. Try heel to toe walking and balancing on one foot, for example.
And keep in mind certain medications can make you feel off balance or dizzy too. So make an appointment with your doc to go over the drugs you’re taking and to find out if any have links to an increased risk of falling.
4. Set your sights on vision:
When’s the last time you got your eyesight checked? If it’s been well over a year you could be sending your risk of falling skyrocketing. Poor vision or an inaccurate prescription can make seeing your feet and obstacles in your way challenging.
And if you typically wear bifocal or multifocal lenses, it might be time to reconsider your eyewear. Ask your doctor about getting a single vision pair to use when you’re out and about.
Bi and multifocal glasses make it more difficult to see the space around your feet. Which means a cord on the floor or a crack in the sidewalk can easily cause a tumble. One study found making the switch to single vision glasses slashed falls among active seniors by 40 percent.
5. Use your cane or walker properly:
If you use a cane or walker to help you get around make sure you’re using it correctly. When you do, it can help you stay balanced and reduce your risk of falling.
You should always use your cane on your stronger side. So, for example, if you have a bad right knee use your cane in your left hand.
Adjust the height so that it hits around wrist level. And make sure to replace the rubber tip regularly. If you’re using a walker, make sure to get instructions on how to use it properly from your doctor or a physical therapist.
Don’t let a fall force you to put your life on hold, or worse. Start “fall-proofing” yourself |

Lockdown Watchlist: Kristin Scott Thomas shares what she’s streaming while stuck indoors
With her new comedy-drama ‘Military Wives’ springing cheerily on to all good streaming sites, Kristin Scott Thomas shares the movies, music and Insta accounts that are getting her through the long lockdown hours.
Movies to catch up on
‘I want to see [Alice Rohrwacher's] “Happy as Lazzaro”. I've got [Russian director] Andrey Zvyagintsev’s films on DVD – he did “Leviathan” – and I'll be watching those. I just watched “Full Metal Jacket”, which I’d never seen, and it was a treat. What we’re going through at the moment is extraordinary and we are lucky to have this incredible library of films.’
Streaming series I’m catching up on
‘Everyone’s talking about “Succession”, so I’ve got to watch that.’
Dream box set
‘Jean-Luc Godard or Jean Renoir, perhaps. I like older films. When I first moved to Paris in the early ’80s, I'd go to the movies all the time. There were about ten cinemas within walking distance of my house in the Latin Quarter. There were all these wonderful little cinemas on the Rue des Écoles and they’d have these little John Huston or Ernst Lubitsch seasons. I’d go and see two in a row.’
Uplifting movie soundtrack
‘I love a good soundtrack. The soundtrack to “The English Patient” is extraordinary. It’s not like I’ve seen the film a million times – I’ve seen it maybe three times in my life – but it’s impossible not to be affected by that music. I also listen to the music from Ismail Merchant's film “In Custody” a lot. It’s about poets in India and it has the most fantastic soundtrack. I like “Trainspotting” too.’
Favourite book about the movies
‘At the moment, I’m reading a guide to growing your own vegetables (laughs). I really should read Richard E Grant’s book “With Nails”, though. Richard makes me laugh so much.’
Instagrammers to follow
‘I spend an inordinate amount of time on Instagram. I love looking at Instagram. I love following Questlove from The Roots. Am I into hip hop? Yes and no. I like listening to things.’
Most missed thing about going to the cinema
‘There is nothing better than sitting in a room with people, all expectantly waiting for a film to begin. I think we’re going to come out of this and be longing to experience things together. We’re meant to gather and be told the same story: you’re all feeling the same things – sadness, happiness, fear – together in this one space. I hope we keep coming back to it, because I love it.’
‘Military Wives’ is available to rent on UK digital platforms now.

The Lib Dems, progressive? I don’t think so
All the post war progressive legislative change has been introduced by Labour governments, often in the teeth of fierce opposition from the Tories and sometimes the Liberals too. Examples include the NHS, comprehensive education, equal pay, civil partnerships and the National Minimum Wage.
The Liberal Democrats portray themselves as a progressive party, but as a new MP, I have seen just how far from the progressive side of politics the Liberal Democrats really are. For example, their stance on measures to tackle youth unemployment shows the absense of progressive credentials. The response to a question on May 26th about the Future Jobs Fund from Kevin Barron, the Labour MP for Rother Valley, was revealing. David Laws, erstwhile Chief Secretary to the Treasury, dismissed The Future Jobs Fund as “…simply not effective and…wasteful”.
But the plans to scrap this job creation scheme for young people who are not in employment, education or training and axe the subsidy to employers who recruit anyone out of work for more than six months suggests a reactionary streak. Before his premature resignation David Laws ushered in a return to the discredited Tory policies of the 1980s and 90s when generations of young people were thrown onto the scrapheap.
But the £320m the Con/Dem government says it will save by cutting the Future Jobs Fund is misleading – the net cost is much lower than the headline figure. Although jobs paid for under the Future Jobs Fund cost £6,500 each, when the savings on unemployment benefit are taken into account the cost is much lower. That means that up to 80,000 jobs would need to be cut this year to save £320m that is being sought by the Con/Dem government.
And the Con/Dem coalition is making these cuts even though in a letter to the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO) on April 28th this year Theresa May wrote:
“The Conservative position on the Future Jobs Fund…has been misrepresented by certain groups in the media. We have no plans to change existing Future Jobs Fund commitments. However it is essential that this support delivers long term sustainable work for those who take up FJF opportunities. If elected we will review the operation of the Fund to ensure this is the case…”
The Lib Dems were also falling over themselves to say they had no plans to reduce government commitments to the Future Jobs Funds. Lib Dem Steve Webb, the new Minister of State for Work and Pensions also wrote to ACEVO on April 21st stating:
“We have no plans to change or reduce existing government commitments to the Future Jobs Fund. We believe that more help is needed for young people, not less”.
I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised by the duplicitous words of the Theresa May because the Tories are just reverting to type. But I suspect more people will be disappointed by the disingenuous Liberal Democrats. The media has allowed the Liberal Democrats to perpetuate their ‘butter wouldn’t melt in the mouth’ image, but they are actually a bunch of phoneys. Nick Clegg’s pre-election claim that they represented a new politics has been proven to be a joke. In truth the Liberal Democrats represent the worst kind of old politics and their alliance with the Tories has debunked any lingering notion that they are a force for progressive social reform.
The reality is that ever since their share of the popular vote started to increase in the early 1970s, the Liberals have always blocked progressive change. I wasn’t particularly surprised, therefore, when the Lib Dems sided with the Tories this year, nor that they have gone back on their word about jobs for young people. But it has meant that among the first victims of Nick Clegg’s confidence trick on the British public will be thousands of young workers who will be deprived of their right to work. Contrast that with Labour: when we left office there were around 40% fewer young people signing-on than under the Tories in the 1990s’ recession when youth unemployment continued rising for years after the recession ended.
The consequences of this election have delivered a salutary lesson to everyone who thought the Liberal Democrats offered a new kind of politics. The actuality has been very different. That is why I am urging everyone who wants to see genuine progressive social change in our country to join Labour in resisting this Con/Dem government – and help us keep hope alive. |

An artist's rendering depicts a chain of repeating green glucose molecules in cellulose being broken down by a fungus. Various enzymes, shown as gemlike elements, work together in assembly-line fashion to break down the cellulose.

RICHLAND, Wash. —
Scientists are taking their cues from fungi in the digestive tracts of cows, goats and sheep in the search for new ways to create sustainable fuels and medicines.
It turns out that fungal enzymes in herbivores play well together, teaming up to form cellulosomes — large protein structures made up of several enzymes. While each enzyme specializes in a certain kind of reaction, a cellulosome brings several of the tools together in one structure adept at transforming lignocellulose — the primary building block of plant cell walls — into sugars. It's like the fungal version of an all-purpose jackknife, with all the tools handy for a variety of tasks. Creating the sugars is a key step toward faster, cheaper creation of biofuels from biomass like corn stalks and switchgrass.
The work, published in Nature Microbiology, was led by Michelle O'Malley of the University of California at Santa Barbara. To do the work, she drew on the resources of two Department of Energy Office of Science user facilities, the Joint Genome Institute and EMSL, Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, through the FICUS program.
Among the authors at EMSL and DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory were Heather Brewer, Samuel Purvine, Aaron Wright and Scott Baker. More information is available via reports from UCSB, JGI and EMSL.

You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself. – Galileo What does that mean? It’s kind of like the Old West saying “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” You can only go so far when attempting to help someone learn. […]

Experience, by definition, […]

True love is like a pair of socks: you gotta have two and they’ve gotta match. – Erich Fromm What does that mean? Well, as a nerd an the antithesis of a snappy dresser, I might argue with having to have two that match, but two does seem to be a good number. Seriously, though, having […]

We should not moor a ship with one anchor, or our life with one hope. – Epictetus What does that mean? Back in the days of this quote, almost everything about a ship was organic. Organic compounds and water are not the best mix, and frequently end in some form of rot or degradation. Eventually, […]

If you would judge, understand. – Seneca What does that mean? I would expand this slightly to state “If you would judge, first you must understand.” I don’t know if he was carving all his quotes into stone, or if he was a minimalist, but so many of these quotes are just so terse it […]

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. – Benjamin Franklin What does that mean? The saying is pretty straight forward.

ANOTHER WEEKEND, another action-packed 48 hours filled with sporting delight. WWN was there for every kick of a ball, stride of a leg, puff of cheeks, vomit on side of pitch because you decided to go out the night before and really don’t have the lungs for Sunday league anymore.
Catch up with WWN Sports, we’ve got all your sport action right here:
After extensive couple counselling sessions Roy Keane and Martin O’Neill announced their intention to consciously uncouple with Keane leaving Nottingham Forest.
Stating his desire to return to management, Keane would be the ideal man to whip some people into shape; the staff in Starbucks who can’t spell names correctly, or turning to a life as a chef where losing your temper and screaming and shouting at people is viewed as an asset.
The women’s world cup has roared into the knockout phase but descended into farce and controversy during England’s 3-0 victory over Cameroon. Cameroon’s players appeared to stage an on-field strike, refusing to play on after the awarding of England’s second goal via VAR.
Some people have suggested this was a pre-planned strike after the players began carrying placards “no way, we won’t play”, “no play without VAR representation” and “Phil Neville, really? Was no one else available?”
Transfer watch: Neymar is set to rejoin Barcelona in a deal reportedly worth in excess of €150 million or in plain terms: one-third of a Wes Hoolahan.
In GAA, Dublin emerged unlikely Leinster football champions this year. The GAA, seeking to save time, handed over the trophy to Dublin before their match against Meath, which saw the Dubs run out winners by a margin so large the actual number hasn’t been invented yet.
Elsewhere provincial championships threw up yet more upsets as Donegal and Kerry triumphed against the odds. Fans have been put on high alert for a ‘Joe Brolly being controversial for the sake of it’ newspaper column.
The cricket World Cup is in full flow, but, c’mon, nobody watches that.
Openly homophobic Australian rugby player Israel Falou made headlines again after the launch of a GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising funds for his legal defence after having his contract terminated for being openly homophobic.
Falou’s pleading for funds appeared alongside campaigns from desperate parents seeking money for lifesaving operations for their sick children, leading people to observe that perhaps the ‘devout Christian’ Falou is kind of a dick.

So, here is the concept for a 600m receiver. Use a 4060 in the way as it is shown for the QTX. Generate a 250Hz frequency with it as a LO for a subharmonic mixer.
There are two obvious options to do that:
- 8.0MHz ceramic resonator - Q5 (pin 5)
- 4.0MHz ceramic resonator - Q4 (pin 7)
For a grabber, I would even consider using a 4.000MHz crystal for increased stability. The resulting audio signal will fall into the range of 1kHz to 4kHz (5.x for inclusion of the DI2AM).
In this receiver, I intend to employ a 500kHz ceramic resonator as sideband filter, provided it can be slightly pulled up by a series capacitor. |

If you've been paying attention to me at all, you know I've been looking forward to Spencer Kope's Whispers of the Dead, but April has quite a few intriguing titles. Which ones have tempted you to put them on your wishlists? Inquiring minds would love to know!
Oh, I do hope you liked the Emma Viskic, Cathy. I thought that was an excellent novel. An I see there's a new Catriona McPherson coming out. Nice - I like her work.
I'm looking forward to reading this new one by McPherson. I love her sense of humor, and I'd like to see if it translates to the printed page.
There are several of these on my list (and yes, you have your work cut out for you!) - probably the most anticipated is Spencer Kope's book. However, Emma Viskic's and Alice Blanchard's as well. And the cupcake shop one. And a couple more...LOL!
You're too easy, Kay! LOL
I can't wait to read Derek B. Miller's American By Day. Loved Norwegian by Night -- just the proper amount of Jewish humor, angst, grief, guilt and philosophy. What I grew up with.
I read Emma Viskic's book and the second one, too. They're OK.
I loved Norwegian by Night, too. |

Yes, I’m using wordpress. Yes it’s kind of crappy.

One of the biggest mistakes that any grower can make is thinking that they will never get struck by a disease. This is often a folly of beginner growers, who might go through several growing seasons without ever having any problems.
However, all it takes is for one attack of a fungal or viral disease to understand just how important plant viral disease protection is. There is nothing more disheartening for a hydroponic grower than to walk into your grow room and discover that all of your plants are weak and limp because of disease.
Fortunately, plant viral disease protection does not have to be an all-consuming endeavor.
Just a few steps can make sure that you spend all of your time growing your plants, and very little helping them recover:
Salicylic acid – Salicylic acid is a substance already used by many plants for plant viral disease protection. Fortunately, you can actually buy supplements that contain salicylic acid, which will give your plants an extra layer of protection against viral diseases.
This substance works just like a vaccination, strengthening your plants defenses against viruses and other pathogens that can cause serious damage to all of your gardening efforts. You can use it as a root tonic or in your foliar spray, or as both in order to get serious all around protection.
Thicker Roots – One way that you can work to ensure that your plant stays healthy and has a stronger immune system is by doing everything in your power to thicken your roots.
Sometimes, lots of disease, such as a rust or other viral disease, can take hold on your plant because thin or simplistic root systems just do not provide your plants with all of the nutrients that they need to stay healthy. You can fight this by using a smart root booster, preferably one that has a lot of living bio-ingredients.
Smart Cloning – Another method of plant viral disease protection is to just make certain that you are cloning the right plants. Too many growers see cloning as just an easy method of propagation, and not a method to make certain that you have the strongest, healthiest plants that you can possibly have. You should pay very close attention to your plants propagated with seeds to check for which ones are the over performers.
Those that exhibit traits such as larger roots, faster growth, and more full foliage also are often the most disease resistant. Having a garden full of disease resistant plants can make each growing season a lot easier on you.
Pest Control – Hydroponic gardens are less susceptible to pests than other types of gardens, but it is still possible to suffer an infestation. Since one of the most common ways viruses are introduced to your plants is through pests, you would be very smart to use simple pest preparedness as plant viral disease protection.
Make sure that there are few opportunities for pests to enter into your grow room. And keep methods of pest control on hand in case you ever have to deal with them.
Good point on the cloning. It’s not just about filling the garden with lots of plants quickly, you have to make sure the stock you’re using is the best you have. |
ArchLord takes place in a fantasy world controlled by a great conqueror known as the “ArchLord”. The entire goal of this MMO is to become the ArchLord thus unlocking great powers and special armor. The concept behind the game seems very similar to Lineage 2 as are the graphics, gameplay, skill bars, XP loss, PVP, and quite a few other features. So much so that being a veteran of Lineage 2, I pretty much already knew how to play from the moment I logged on.
The controls in ArchLord are simple with clicking the mouse on a location causing your character to walk there and double clicking a mob causing you to attack it. Most of the interaction with the game includes simple right and left clicks. The only other controls needed are for using skill bars by pressing numbers 1-9. Overall this makes the game extremely easy to get used to control wise. The annoying part of gameplay is spamming healing potions making almost any fight winnable with enough healing pots. It made the game as a whole into “who can spam healing pots faster”. The combat in ArchLord is a sit by and watch type experience at least at early levels. At this time my character is level 8 and I have two usable skills one that is basically a power shot and one that makes you run faster.
Each time you level in ArchLord you gain 1 skill point. These skill points can be used to get skills from a skill trainer and skills also cost gold. The skill system forces players to decide between certain skills available and is the only real character development in the game. Although the large number of skills and upgrades that become available will leave a lot of options and combinations open for characters it just isn’t enough. The large annoyance is looking through all the skills. Each one is spaced out wide enough meaning that you will have maybe 4 or 5 skill points when you can buy skills and maybe 6 skills to choose from. So the skill system, even though it requires choices, still is a very limited customization. There is really not a lot you can do to get more powerful, at least at the beginning of the game, because everything you can buy in the game to enhance your character has level requirements spaced out about 10 levels apart.
One of the coolest aspects of ArchLord includes the ability to turn into a monster using special potions. Each monster adds power to your character and changes your appearance. I only had the chance to get one low level potion while I played and it would turn me into a spider for 4 minutes and add 32 damage to my attacks. It is a cool idea and I imagine some of the higher level potions can turn players into amazing creatures. Another feature in the game is the bounty system. The bounty system is used to find player killers throughout the world and if you are able to defeat them you get their bounty. Player killers are players who “murder†other players and by doing so earn a bounty on their head. Getting killed by another player is extremely discouraging but is a large part of the game. The player who gets killed loses XP and must resurrect back at town. It is even worse to die from a mob outside of the noob area. Dying outside of the beginning area the player receives the XP penalty as well as he may drop a random item from his inventory leaving it behind for a random person to snatch up.
Code Masters has decided to implement a purchase plan system. When a player buys gameplay time they can also choose to purchase credits to use in game. The credits are used to buy special items such as orbs that resurrect you right where you die with no XP penalty and keys for chests that randomly drop in the world as well as items that increase XP gained per kill. I believe this is a good way for the company to make money but a lot of gamers who are more casual will most likely never buy in-game credits. This will also reward people for how much money they give out instead of how good you are at the game or how much time you spend playing. Overall, I think it ruins the in-game economy allowing people with real money to pass those casual gamers easily.
ArchLord is visually decent compared to most recent games. However, the mobs in the game are bland and boring with “elite†mobs looking identical to other mobs a lot of times and other times the color of the elite mob is the only difference. This was a major and rather big downfall of the game because it made the grind even more monotonous. The sound in ArchLord has major problems especially with sound FX. The sound FX in the game would create an annoying constant pulsing noise at various times in the game. When I would disable and then enable sound FX the annoyance would go away for a short time before coming back.
Final Verdict
ArchLord is a fairly new MMO that has a lot of kinks that need fixed. At this time it sadly is a sub par MMO compared to the majority of MMOs out there. The game really lacks variety as well as the fun factor. I suppose it is always possible for future patches to turn this MMO around, but right now I can’t recommend it. The most the majority of people will get from it is about 7 or so levels of enjoyment before you outright get bored.

No Soriano, Joba means bullpen help a must for Yanks
Jun 9, 2011, 6:40 PM EDT
Now.
- spudchukar - Jun 9, 2011 at 6:50 PM
Mitchell Boggs and Ryan Franklin are available as set-up guys, but I cannot think of anybody who would interest the Cards outside of Nunez, and his errant arm concerns me.
-
- deathmonkey41 - Jun 10, 2011 at 9:35 AM
Nunez? I can tell you as a Yankees fan that he is Alfonsio Soriano without the power. He’s a poor fielder with awful plate discipline (like most of the Yankees are these days).
The Yanks need to fire Kevin Long, cut Jorge Posada and Andruw Jones, bring up either Jesus Montero or Jorge Vasquez to DH, hopefully get Eric Chavez back soon and send down Nunez. They also need to take Texeria out of the three spot and put Granderson there. And start benching guys for poor and lazy play. I can’t believe Brett Gardner started last night after that boneheaded play at third and so did Robinson Cano after two half-assed attempts at fielding allowed errant throws to second to get into centerfield twice. Until there are changes and accountability on this team, there are going to continue to fall in the rankings.

I’m not a Yankees fan, but this seems a bit harsh. Girardi did lead them to a World Series championship less than two years ago. He is managing an aging team that lacks pitching depth and has been hit with injuries. In spite of this, they have done pretty well so far.

Classless to say the least; but what can you expect from of guy who claim to fame is that corny tag line “He Gone”? Now had that been Rizzuto he would have said, “Holy Cow”. Mel Allen would have said, “How about that”. But Jack Buck might I said, “I can’t believe what I just heard”. Ernie Harwell would have said, “bad break for a nice young man”, But Yankee fans are now saying, ” Cashman what are you waiting for make a trade”!

Don’t forget that Hawk is the one announcer single handedly keeping the old baseball expression for a routine fly ball, “can of corn”, alive too!
Why isn’t Ca$hman making trades to shore up the pitching staff? Simple. Hank and Hal have a death-grip on their wallets!
If it were up to Ca$hman, he NEVER would have signed RP Soriano (an even dumber move than signing Damaco Marte for three guaranteed years just like Soriano, but that was Ca$hman’s gaffe), and would have by now traded for (assuming the contracts of), an Edwin Jackson and a proven left handed reliever by now.
Instead he’s once again forced to slum and bottom feed, having just picked up wash out Jeffrey Marquez (whoo-hoo, Yankee fans!), and I’m sure right now is busy combing the independent leagues and Mexican league looking for still more former MLB retread pitchers!

“Boone Logan has decent numbers, but he’s failing as a lefty specialist (left-handers are hitting .316 off him). ”
How can anyone with half a brain write such drivel. The man has one job … get out lefties … and they are hitting .316 against him. Boone Logan does NOT have decent numbers.

Hey Yankees, us Dodgers will gladly trade you sore armed Jon Garland for Manny Benuelos and even sweeten the deal by throwing in Aaron Miles too!

Dodger fans, we can top your proposed deal. Us White Sox will gladly trade sore armed Tony Pena and Lastings Milledge for Manny Benuelos. Our deal is better because Pena doesn’t make much and Milledge is on a minor league deal… that should be FAR more attractive to cheapskates Hank and Hal!

Pittsburgh fan here… we just designated RP Jose Ascanio for assignment which means that you Yankees can have him for only the cost of a waiver wire claim… the kind of Dollar Store pitching buy that Hank and Hal find irresistible!

Why would Kerry Wood want to come back when he took a huge pay cut to leave? What a knuckleheaded piece of conjecture that is. Now that I’ve got that off my chest, I’ve been wondering, where should the Beatles make their first appearance when they get back together?

purnel… the reason that Paul Mc Cartney reportedly is announcing a summer all stadiums concert tour is because neither George nor John are willing to leave the island out in the Pacific that they are sharing with JFK, RFK, MLK and Elvis!
As for Yankee fans dreaming about Wood returning? As long as Hank and Hal continue to have their wallets in a death grip, the only pitching that the Yankees are going to pick up is going to come off the waiver wire, the independent leagues, softball beer leagues and possibly the Mexican League (provided any of their scouts are willing to foot the entire travel bill for driving down there and back).

I forgot one thing… Jimmy Hoffa is reportedly living on the same island and with Elvis’ money and Jimmy’s connections they’re said to be living the life of Riley (luxury for those of you too young not to get the reference)!
You are right in that Wood doesn’t want to leave Chicago (and likely has a full no trade clause in his contract in exchange for having accepted less than a third of other reported offers to go back to the Cubs, which shows that he’s not too bright as well I might add), but his former running mate Mark Prior is in the Yankees farm system and is available for call up (once he gets off the DL again, that) |

And, just for MuYoung, the yellow-faced wizard pirate:
Below is the progress so far. I still need to punch up the highlights a bit and define some areas. His hair and eyebrow are not completed, yet. I've been contemplating taking this into Photoshop and combining some digital elements. Using digital and traditional media together is very interesting and I haven't quite been able to mesh the two in a satisfactory manner. Perhaps it will work well for him. |
D.2 Datagram TLS API
The prototypes for the following functions lie in ‘gnutls/dtls.h’.
gnutls_dtls_cookie_send
- Function: int gnutls_dtls_cookie_send (gnutls_datum_t* key, void* client_data, size_t client_data_size, gnutls_dtls_prestate_st* prestate, gnutls_transport_ptr_t ptr, gnutls_push_func push_func)
This function can be used to prevent denial of service attacks to a DTLS server by requiring the client to reply using a cookie sent by this function. That way it can be ensured that a client we allocated resources for (i.e.
gnutls_session_t) is the one that the original incoming packet was originated from.
Returns: the number of bytes sent, or a negative error code.
Since: 3.0
gnutls_dtls_cookie_verify
- Function: int gnutls_dtls_cookie_verify (gnutls_datum_t* key, void* client_data, size_t client_data_size, void* _msg, size_t msg_size, gnutls_dtls_prestate_st* prestate) an incoming message for a valid cookie. If a valid cookie is returned then it should be associated with the session using
gnutls_dtls_prestate_set();
Returns:
GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS(0) on success, or a negative error code.
Since: 3.0
gnutls_dtls_get_data_mtu
- Function: unsigned int gnutls_dtls_get_data_mtu (gnutls_session_t session)
session: is a
gnutls_session_tstructure.
This function will return the actual maximum transfer unit for application data. I.e. DTLS headers are subtracted from the actual MTU.
Returns: the maximum allowed transfer unit.
Since: 3.0
gnutls_dtls_get_mtu
- Function: unsigned int gnutls_dtls_get_mtu (gnutls_session_t session)
session: is a
gnutls_session_tstructure.
gnutls_dtls_get_timeout
- Function: unsigned int gnutls_dtls_get_timeout (gnutls_session_t session)
session: is a
gnutls_session_tstructure.
gnutls_dtls_prestate_set
- Function: void gnutls_dtls_prestate_set (gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_dtls_prestate_st* prestate)
session: a new session
prestate: contains the client’s prestate
This function will associate the prestate acquired by the cookie authentication with the client, with the newly established session.
Since: 3.0
gnutls_dtls_set_mtu
- Function: void gnutls_dtls_set_mtu (gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int mtu)
session: is a
gnutls_session_tstructure.
mtu: The maximum transfer unit of the interface
This function will set the maximum transfer unit of the interface that DTLS packets are expected to leave from.
Since: 3.0
gnutls_dtls_set_timeouts
- Function: void gnutls_dtls_set_timeouts (gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int retrans_timeout, unsigned int total_timeout)
session: is a
gnutls_session_tstructure.
retrans_timeout: The time at which a retransmission will occur in milliseconds
total_timeout: The time at which the connection will be aborted, in milliseconds.
This function will set the timeouts required for the DTLS handshake protocol. The retransmission timeout is the time after which a message from the peer is not received, the previous messages will be retransmitted. The total timeout is the time after which the handshake will be aborted with
GNUTLS_E_TIMEDOUT.
The DTLS protocol recommends the values of 1 sec and 60 seconds respectively.
If the retransmission timeout is zero then the handshake will operate in a non-blocking way, i.e., return
GNUTLS_E_AGAIN.
Since: 3.0
gnutls_record_get_discarded
- Function: unsigned int gnutls_record_get_discarded (gnutls_session_t session)
session: is a
gnutls_session_tstructure.
Returns the number of discarded packets in a DTLS connection.
Returns: The number of discarded packets.
Since: 3.0

How do I improve my ad's performance?
Tuesday, January 27, 2009 | 10:58 AM
Whether you're just getting started with AdWords or looking to expand an existing account, it can be challenging to create campaigns that match the right message to the right audience and bring your website the traffic you're looking for. As a Google Grants volunteer working with AdWords for more than 4 years, I thought I'd share a few tips about developing successful accounts:
1. Use your site as a blueprint
You've probably put a lot of time and effort into building a website that's as useful and comprehensive as possible, with a clear audience in mind. This work will pay off when building your AdWords account!
- Start by reviewing your site and identifying the pages that you want the most people to visit. These pages should contain enough information so that a new visitor to your site won't be confused or disoriented upon first visit.
- Then, create an ad group for each page you've identified, keeping your keywords simple and straightforward. Start small, with just the keywords you'd expect to bring up your website in the natural search results. For example, if your page offers an opportunity to sign up for volunteer shifts at a local soup kitchen, start by choosing keywords such as 'san francisco soup kitchen volunteering.'
- Let your ad text tell the story of why your website is relevant to the people searching on these terms, and set the stage appropriately for the page they're about to visit.
It's easy to forget that everyone who visits your site lives somewhere, and a local message is often more relevant than a national one. Even if your company caters to an international audience, consider creating new campaigns that speak more directly to specific regions.
- Creating separate, geographically targeted campaigns narrows your audience, allowing you to write more customized ad text and get better insights into search behavior. For example, you might create a campaign targeting Philadelphia, then run a search query performance report and see that the top search terms for that region differ from the top search terms in other areas. Next, you could modify your ad text to make it more relevant to the most popular searches.
- If you don't know which regions your visitors are located in, run a geographic performance report in AdWords to see where your visitors are coming from in a particular ad group or campaign. If you want an even deeper set of information, install Google Analytics for more detailed data on the traffic coming to your site from individual countries, regions, or cities.
Try to make the ads you write as relevant as possible to the present moment. If you haven't updated your ad text in a few months, it's probably time for a review. Keep the following considerations in mind when writing your ads:
- Seasonality: Do you have any products or promotions specific to a particular time of year? Search volume fluctuates for a wide variety of terms depending on the season. Plan ahead so that you can take full advantage of increased interest.
- Current events: This economic recession is a particularly clear example of a current event that can be useful to keep in mind when adapting ad text. Maybe it's time to rethink your ad text or lower that requested donation amount. Periodically re-read your ads to ensure their message is appropriate. |
