Gophers' new Captains Breakfast unites alums with current players
MINNEAPOLIS — Tom Sakal fought back tears when speaking to the Gophers football team last Saturday, Sept. 30.
"I'm not an emotional person, but it really hit the core of me," said Sakal, the sole captain of the last Minnesota team to win a share of the Big Ten championship in 1967.
Sakal addressed the Gophers as part of the team's Captains Breakfast, the first invitation he had received from the program in the 50 years since he played linebacker for co-conference champions.
"It was wonderful," Sakal, 71, said this week from his home in Florida. "I enjoyed every minute of it."
It was part of new Gophers coach P.J. Fleck's budding tradition of asking significant alumni to speak to current players on game days. Players from four different decades, all of whom played in the NFL, have spoken to the team so far.
Sakal spoke before the Gophers' 31-24 loss to Maryland. His message: "Championships aren't won on Saturdays" but through hard work and teamwork the rest of the week.
Marion Barber Jr., a running back from 1977-80 and father to a trio of Gophers players, spoke before the home opener against Buffalo. Omar Douglas, a receiver from 1991-93 and father to current wideout Demetrius, lives in Portland, Ore., and addressed the team before the road game at Oregon State. Jay Carroll, a tight end from 1981-83 and father to Quinn, a top recruiting target, talked ahead of the Middle Tennessee State game.
"Ninety-nine percent has nothing to do with football, which I think is incredibly important for guys on the team," said quarterback Conor Rhoda, who said other alumni have addressed the team in his previous four years in the program. "It just brings life full circle, brings football experiences to those life experiences."
The impetus for the private chats center on Fleck's desire to connect alumni to the program in a positive setting.
"I don't want people to look at us like whatever had been good or bad," Fleck said. "I want them to look (and say), 'We were a part of that. We were a part of history. ... We want Minnesota to be successful.' "
It hasn't been uniformly smooth.
Jim Carter, a star fullback on the 1967 championship team, declined an invitation to be honored with teammates before the first quarter of the Maryland game. After forming ties with former coaches Jerry Kill and Tracy Claeys, he remains an outspoken critic of U President Eric Kaler's and athletics director Mark Coyle's leadership during the sexual misconduct scandal that led to 10 player suspensions and, ultimately, four expulsions.
"It would be hypocritical for me to support the university with the way they run things these days," Carter, captain of the 1969 Gophers team, said. "I quit buying my season tickets."
Fleck has mended the relationship with Tyrone Carter, who won the Jim Thorpe award for the nation's best defensive back in 1999. Last summer, Carter posted a video on Twitter that appeared to question Fleck's desire to recruit Carter's nephew Marquis Williams, a cornerback from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in the 2018 class.
The two met at Fleck's office in late September, emerging with a photo posted on Twitter of them both smiling and gripping an oar.
While NCAA rules prohibit Fleck from commenting on recruits, he repeatedly has said his overall goals are to secure early pledges from players who want to come to Minnesota and fit with his energetic style. His 2018 class already has 23 commitments, all joining from February to July.
In August, Williams gave an oral commitment to Pittsburgh.
Fleck also wants to keep legacy recruits in maroon and gold. His pursuit of Demetrius Douglas to join the Gophers' 2017 class began the fulfillment of that goal.
Marion Barber Jr. was impressed by Fleck's efforts to connect with him in May when he graduated with a Youth Studies degree 36 years after he left the U to play in the NFL. Fleck's staff made a video with old footage of Barber playing for the Gophers and a message of congratulations.
"How special is that?" Barber said. "You look at that, and he had only been on campus a few months, but just to have the desire to or even the thought to put something like that together for someone that he really hasn't even met. It really shows the kind of guy and the kind of character he has as a person."
A few weeks before the season, Barber was asked to speak to the team ahead of the season opener, a 17-7 victory over Buffalo.
"I addressed change," Barber said. "Change is difficult for even the oldest of us as people, let alone these young men who have gone through three staffs, the seniors in particular. I know sometimes when there is change, there is doubt. You've got to believe in Coach Fleck and his mission."
A handful of Gophers players have had classes with the eldest Barber, and Thomas, a sophomore, has been hearing his dad's message his whole life.
"It was pretty cool," Thomas said. "They love my dad, so it's always nice to hear their feedback about my dad."
Omar Douglas moved with his wife, Demetrius, and their two daughters from Wayzata to Portland a few years ago when he switched careers from General Mills to Nike. When the Gophers traveled to Corvallis, Ore., to play the Beavers, Omar was the perfect fit to speak at the Captains Breakfast.
He told players that accomplishments only come after focus and work.
"In a short four or five years, (players) will be on the other side of this and it's important to reinforce what your future may look like," Douglas said.
When Carroll shared his personal message about perseverance before the Gophers' 34-3 rout of Middle Tennessee, he was struck by the attentiveness of the players.
"I would love to take credit and say it was the magnificent presentation, but I know better," Carroll said. "They were so respectful, so attentive and so engaged with eye contact and head nods. ... These guys are so disciplined and are learning something so valuable."
Carroll's talk was timed to an unofficial recruiting visit for his son Quinn, an Edina offensive tackle widely considered the top-ranked player in Minnesota in the 2019 class.
Before a stint with the Vikings, Carroll played for the Gophers with Norries Wilson, the program's new director of player development, in 1983. Like Douglas, he had spoken to small groups of the team, but nothing as encompassing as the new Captains Breakfast.
"I've been gone 35 years, and I don't ever remember getting a call to do anything like that," Carroll said. "So for P.J. and Norries to reach out, I think it has been a great initiative. I was honored to be asked to come in and share for a few minutes."

text: I recently started playing the Japanese version of Luminous Arc 2, but I found the lack of save games slots to be a huge issue for me. Hoping to expand my save game capacity (and also have a save game slot for my brother to try) I grabbed a copy of the nds file for LA2, but got myself stopped after the loading screen. Seems like the game detected I was using a "backup" as it described it. I haven't updated my firmware since 2007 april, so I'm not sure if that is the issue, and the r4 website seems to be somewhat dead. Can anyone point me to the most recent firmware releases since last year? If the firmware isn't an issue, (I was also trying out Soma Bringer as well) is there some other reason that it can't work?

Cyanosis: what happens when my son Calvin doesn't breathe for over a minute during grand mal convulsive seizures that last upwards of three minutes.
A mother's journey through the anguish, grief, joy and triumph of raising a chronically ill, disabled, extraordinary child who shapes her view of the world.
I apologize for the silly question, but do you know why this happens? My daughter turned blue during her first seizure, but that has never happened since, even with seizures that appeared as severe and lasted as long. And I just held my breath for more than one minute as an admittedly non-scientific test, and I did not turn blue. Clearly, it's not just the stopped breathing that does it. What is it about seizures that causes cyanosis?ReplyDelete
if i understand it correctly it is due to the body's emergency response to bring oxygen to the vital organs and away from the extremities. if the torso is blue then it is more dire. fingers and toes, not to worry too much "they" say.ReplyDelete

LONDON (REUTERS) – Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has become the first senior player to publicly criticise David Moyes, who lasted just 10 months in charge as manager at Old Trafford last season.
Moyes was appointed from Everton to succeed Alex Ferguson before the start of last season but reigning champions United lost three of their first six games and finished seventh in the table, their lowest position since 1990.
In his new autobiography, being serialised in The Sun, former United captain Ferdinand, who left the club earlier this year, accused the manager of having the 'mentality of a smaller club', taking a negative approach and not understanding United's attacking traditions.
"Moyes' innovations mostly led to negativity and confusion," the former England defender wrote. "Moyes set us up not to lose whereas we'd been accustomed to playing to win. This wasn't Everton, it was Manchester United."
Ferdinand, who joined Queens Park Rangers in July and was in the team who were beaten 4-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, also criticised United's decision to do away with some of the support staff like first-team coach Mike Phelan.
His conclusion was: "Looking back, I'd say David Moyes was unlucky. He and Manchester United were just oil and water somehow. "His ideas weren't bad in themselves, they just didn't fit with the group of players and the tradition and recent history of the club."

Editor's Note: This past week, SludgeReports (SR) attended an hour-long conference call with NQ Mobile Co-CEO Omar Khan and Vice President of Capital Markets Matt Mathison. SR was also asked to collaborate, with select NQ individual and institutional shareholders known to us, on a list of questions for the NQ executives. As you might expect, the questions were no-holds-barred, and we got answers to most, thanks to the engaging and cooperative Khan and Mathison.
Early on, we turned off the interrogation lamps and settled in for a pleasant fireside chat. What may be surprising to some was the eagerness and zeal with which Mathison and Khan spoke about the business. Considering the relentless and repetitive outpouring of short seller allegations—fraud of the highest order, perjury, deception, books-cooking, misrepresentation–you might expect the NQ guys to be guarded. You might expect a blizzard of well-prepared, legally-vetted responses.
But nope. Nothing was further from the truth. The bulk of our questions got answered, with the underlying thesis that NQ Mobile is running on all cylinders, executing its vision successfully, and unafraid to tell it like it is, in a realistic manner, with timelines.
The first of a new NQ article series is below.
Getting Back to "Go"
Few long term shareholders of NQ would argue that the past 10 months have been discouraging to say the least. This former market darling, with its fast top line growth, novel packaging of mobile platform products, and even more novel path to monetization of those products, lost some 87% of share value in a year, measured by its low of $3.45 this past July.
Vicious short attacks (now mostly disproven). Untimely resignations. Change of auditor. And worst of all, a 20f filing extension granted by the NYSE, which brought the short "hounds-of-hell" bearing down on NQ with intent on tearing the company to pieces. It's been a tough 10 months, a period which will be largely brought to an end by the filing of a 20f in October or early November.
The company has stated repeatedly and emphatically that not only the 20f will be filed, it will be filed without qualification or restatement. These statements were repeated multiple times during our conference call, but the focus of the call was the potential of the company ongoing, after the 20f, after the company gets back to go.
"The filing of the 20f is the beginning, not the panacea," said Mathison. "Most important is our positioning of the company for rapid future growth."
Mathison and Khan believe there is a "great discount" currently placed on shares that will be resolved with the 20 filing. The filing immediately returns the company to a state of compliance (quarterly filings are not required from Chinese-domiciled companies). The new Audit Committee and MBP have made encouraging progress, said Mathison, but MBP has begun the process from near scratch, which takes time.
MBP was on-boarded efficiently, with more than double the resources brought by dismissed auditor PWC, and they are working diligently to complete the job. Filing the 20f is a "primary focus" and NQ looks forward to "returning to normal operations … as a compliant public company." But, stressed Khan, the 20f delay doesn't mean they are letting the business side rest on its laurels. In fact, they are driving harder than ever, notching significant "quarter over quarter growth." (The growth story will be a focus of Part 2 in our series.)
After completion of the 20f, these same MBP audit resources will immediately re-engage to complete the first three quarters of 2014 filings. NQ views these three quarters as "just as important as the 20f to shareholders," because they will provide further and more timely evidence of the revenue growth rate NQ has been guiding. NQ projects 5 to 7 weeks after the 20f filing for the completion of all three follow-on quarters.
Once the financials,—20f and follow-on quarters, are completed, the "great discount" will be seen by the market and then further resolved in a number of ways, said Mathison. Current restrictions on company share repurchase and executive purchases will be removed. Ongoing discussions with Bison, and "other numerous interested parties," will proceed. The board of directors will be free to make shareholder-friendly decisions on further equity and asset interests.
So, a best-estimate timeline of near-term events:
November 15: the latest date for filing the 20f (with Mathison stating repeatedly the filing could easily come "sooner")
December 15-January 5: completion of the three delayed quarterlies
December-January: Company and executive share purchases begin
The company and its executives have committed to $30 million worth of share purchases. On April 10, 2014, NQ Mobile reported $27 million from the company and $3 million of executive purchases remain available. Depending on share price at the time, these purchases may represent near 20% of the current float.
- $7 – 4.3 million shares purchased
- $8 – 3.75 million shares purchased
- $9 – 3.3 million shares purchased
Now, let's be realistic. The NQ story changes quickly with the 20f filing and we can already see shorts attempting to cover and/or prepare.
When NQ Mobile is freed to buy shares, it will signal the complete dissolve of the short story. Any short unprepared will face diminishing returns or possible losses.
Open short positions for 9/15/2014 totaled 15.8 million, down from the peak 17.8 million of two months prior. Everyone has watched the 44k January call option placement and roll down every few weeks, and additional call options placed elsewhere. Its obvious shorts are preparing themselves. They've had a good run at NQ's expense (join me in closing your eyes to the ethics and tactics they utilized, that is water over the dam). Now that run is coming to an end and they know it.
Bison's $9.80 per share buyout offer
Bison made an offer of $9.80 for all outstanding common and American Depository Shares (ADS). Shorts and some analysts went a bit loco on the topic—defining the offer as less than legitimate. But the offer was completely legit and something of a surprise to NQ, said Mathison and Khan, in a simple answer. The complete answer, however, is somewhat more complicated.
What we learned from the conference call is that NQ has elaborate and current business dealings with Bison, although Khan and Mathison didn't elaborate beyond the FL Mobile participation (FL Mobile is NQ's game developer division). They did provide some clarity on Bison, and indicated the FL Mobile IPO is progressing nicely. Some further research by SR sheds additional light on Bison's interest.
Bison is a $1 billion fund and has a large stake in AirMedia, a leading advertising provider in China. AirMedia sells air travel advertising on seven airlines, plus billboards, light boxes, and other digital media. Is there synergy with AirMedia and NQ Mobile subsidiaries? Count on it. vLife comes to mind rather quickly considering the recent movie advertising on it's platform.
Now back to FL Mobile. Why would Bison be so interested in not only vLife but the gaming outfit FL Mobile as well? Recently NQ Co-CEO Henry Lin indicated that advertising revenue may reach 50% of total revenue in 2015 for the consumer side of NQ's business. Imagine all those eyeballs playing games and looking at banner ads for the next big movie blockbusters of 2015! Blockbusters like Fury, Fast and Furious 7, Jurassic World, Terminator:Genesis, Star Wars: Episode VII.
Bison has definitely taken an interest in Hollywood recently, which isn't surprising given Peixin Xu serves as an independent director of Bona Film Group Ltd., China's largest privately owned film distributor.
Already other competitors are working with NQ Mobile. Recently, Leeding Media's distribution of Divergent, in collaboration with Alibaba, utilized vLife for mobile advertising.
Khan summed it up; Bison is not just a financial transaction. They are in a position to further strengthen content partnerships given their position in the entertainment business.
There's no need to belabor the point further, Bison is interested in NQ Mobile for synergistic reasons. FL Mobile makes perfect sense as a Bison investment and a spin-off IPO.
Other Interested Parties
Unfortunately SR didn't score a scoop on who these entities may be. The most we could get was what everyone knows, when the 20f is filed, other parties that have expressed interest will be looking for deals.
Additional Topics Discussed
Hint: SR will explore these additional topics further in upcoming parts of this article series.
The Citibank conference: "Great deal of interest in our stock," said Mathison, but interest may not manifest in any appreciable way till after the 20f is filed.
The Citibank conference includes some interesting updates. Shareholders should note, user metrics do not include emerging products: Music Radar, NQ Live Platform, iSMS and the majority of Ad Network users.
Driving home this point, NQ Music Radar statistics have jumped from 3 million to 7 million daily searches and a recent banner ad campaign in Q3 resulted in over 200,000 new users for en.jd.com.
Pace of channel partnership and deployment of new technologies: "Accelerating quarter over quarter," said Khan. NQ is now "a go-to company for enterprise mobile in China". The company has 1 million seats under management, with a "green field of growth" among state-owned enterprises and multinationals in China. Khan also stated NQ will focus on China for the near term, seeing no reason to diversify geographically given the plethora of opportunity. "We can't hire fast enough, can't keep up with demand," he concluded, reminding the conference call participants that China had basically skipped over the PC explosion of a generation ago, instead proceeding directly to mobile.
Khan summarized this departure from past statements of NQ not being a Chinese company (eg. 2012 presentation), there is enough growth in China now to view international growth on an opportunistic level like we have in Japan and other markets.
NQSky: NQSky has become a strategic core asset and there are many scenarios in additional to an IPO that are being considered. All things are possible with the two-year plan stated in the filing. Matt suggested investors, "stay tuned". Omar indicated the cash infusion from the minority sale, was used to upgrade the hardware and software backbone of a rapidly growing enterprise business. Mathison and Omar had high praise for the NQSky team and their accomplishments.
Revenues Flattening in Second Half of 2014: It may appear that way because based on current guidance, but that's because NQ "has not updated guidance", said Mathison and then he went on to discuss positive trends in enterprise business in the first half of the year and the consumer advertising growth recently mentioned by Henry Lin.
Past year restatements: Expect no restatements. PWC legally had obligations at the time of dismissal, where if they had any reason to withdraw their opinion on the past years, they would have had to make their actions known at that time, Mathison stated. The SEC filing from July was a joint filing approved by PWC and NQ.
Margins: Will trend back to mid to high 20 per cent range by end of 2014, said Mathison.
Corporate Press Releases: NQ Mobile is doing numerous deals regularly, especially on the enterprise side, and isn't releasing most. Some Chinese press releases are distributed at the subsidiary level. Given the corporate focus on building the business and completing the 20f, a release for every deal is a lower priority at present.
The NQ executives left me with the impression that filing the 20f is a done deal before the NYSE deadline. Several weeks later, Q1,Q2, and Q3 2014 revenue numbers will be completed and they will confirm consistent and rapid revenue growth.
The company is keeping a careful eye on 20f progress and has the resources in place to finish the job. Once the filings are up to date, all new deals and collaborations will come up in queue for the board of directors to consider, and NQ Mobile will initiate their share repurchase plans.
The platform strategy, laid out in recent conferences and presentations, is on track.
So far, NQ Mobile fits our bill as a solid investment opportunity at current share prices.

A unique feature of the RFID/EPC Live Test in Global Logistics' was that the participants were presented with five thematic test cases: RFID/EPC in global logistics, in passive tagging, at container level, in container tracking, and in enabled sensors.
Participants were taught how to perform container and pallet tracking via RFID/RFID technology in global logistics operations, take advantage of RFID/EPC to perform active and passive tagging at pallet level to create business value, comply with the evolving container tracking requirements effectively and profitably, and to optimise supply chain efficiency.
RFID pilot programme
The first phase validated the use of UHF EPC tags for the shipment of cartons and containers between Hong Kong and Japan. The second demonstrated the impact of GS1 EPCglobal Standards on providing visibility of goods on a global level between source factories in China and distribution centres in the US.
The TLS 3 Pilot Programme was recently finalised and focuses on testing out the use of EPCIS to track the progress of physical products in cartons, containers and pallets across the supply chain using the trade lane from Tokyo to Amsterdam.

"When we were considering candidates, we could tell that DynaSis had really evaluated how we were operating so there wouldn't be surprises along the way," said America's 1st Maintenance General Manager Mary Barnes.
(PRWEB) August 16, 2016
DynaSis, Atlanta's premier provider of IT services and support for small and midsized businesses (SMBs), today announced that it has completed the configuration and deployment of a major technology upgrade for America's 1st Maintenance. DynaSis has also been contracted to provide ongoing, around-the-clock systems monitoring, proactive maintenance and support for the company's new technology platform.
"When we were considering candidates, we could tell that DynaSis had really evaluated how we were operating so there wouldn't be surprises along the way," said America's 1st Maintenance General Manager Mary Barnes. "From that point on, they ensured the system preparation and launch were pretty painless for us. I remember thinking through the whole process that it was way easier than I had expected."
America's 1st Maintenance initially engaged DynaSis for assistance upgrading outdated server hardware. During the initial strategic technology review and assessment, DynaSis determined that the firm would gain additional benefit, along with enhanced security and productivity, through a comprehensive upgrade of infrastructure and systems, including network hardware, firewall, uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) and more.
As with many large-scale technology projects, budget was a concern, so DynaSis helped America's 1st Maintenance select the most advantageous and cost-effective configuration, including repurposing outdated hardware and reassigning existing server software licenses where possible. DynaSis also deployed VMware to run two virtual Windows Server installations without the need for additional physical hardware. Finally, DynaSis addressed the organization's need for an all-inclusive backup and disaster recovery solution. Now, all content on both of the firm's servers is backed up and can be restored as individual files or through a full restoration in the event of a server outage or other problem.
"Successful, growing companies such as America's 1st Maintenance understand that they need modern, secure systems to optimize operating effectiveness, but decision makers are hesitant due to concerns about cost and complexity," said DynaSis President Dave Moorman. "We were pleased to have the opportunity to help America's 1st Maintenance transform its technology posture with a focus on the future and are gratified by the confidence they placed in us."

No, but I'm going to now! Thanks. I sometimes make french toast in a mug and it is awesome- like bread pudding. I wisk together 1 egg, 1/3c milk, 1/2tsp vanilla extract, and just a bit of sugar and cinnamon. Then mix in 2 to 2 1/2 pieces of bread cut into cubes. I microwave it until it begins to rise out of the cup in a weird looking column (about 3 minutes 30 seconds for mine) and top it with jam or maple syrup. Mug recipes are great.
not yet, i cant eat too much of that anyways cause im trying to stay away from sugar cause of prediabetes
8-30-2017 I once made cakes in dessert dishes and put strawberries on top, but it got to be a chore and I just ate the rest of the strawberries straight. My preferred method is to make something in a crock pot and divide it into cups. I have three dozen glass cups with rubber lids, so as long as the food is hot when it goes in it will keep forever. I only have to cook when I get bored.
no, i dont cook, i tend to microwave more
Linda Joy
These are microwaved. Takes one to two minutes depending on how gooey you like them.
9-7-2017 There is just something weird about a brownie in a mug. It's the same feeling I would get if it was scraped off a sidewalk or something.

Annual Giant Vegetable Competition
October 15, 2017
Event Navigation
Aberglasney Gardens is looking forward to its fifth annual Giant Vegetable Growing Competition – the only one in Wales.
The event which takes place on Sunday October the 15th has grown in popularity every year and the team at Aberglasney is looking forward to welcoming both experienced gardeners and novices to the extravaganza which will be judged by gardening guru Medwyn Williams MBE. Medwyn will once again travel from his home in Anglesey for the extravaganza, having been blown away by the standard of entries every year - and no one knows their vegetables like the 11-time Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner!
Aberglasney's Head Gardener Joseph Atkin is looking forward to the event tremendously but says that logistically it's not an easy one to hold: "We're borrowing special custom-made scales from West Wales Weighing in Haverfordwest, we then usually need some serious man power to get the entries onto the scales! Last year we had to resort to a tractor to move one pumpkin. It is however a wonderful day and our competitors put on an incredible display. I'd encourage anyone growing their own vegetables to enter. It's free to do so and all competitors are also admitted to Aberglasney free of charge on the day of the competition."
From mammoth sized marrows to colossal cabbages and titanic sized tomatoes, amongst last years most impressive entries was a Marrow weighing 36kg (79.58lb) grown by Kevin and Gareth Fortey from Cwmbran. Kevin and Gareth also won the class for the heaviest leek weighing in at 4.3kg (9.48lb). The pumpkin class was won by Jenny Jones of Kidwelly with a weight of 30.6kg (66.50lbs.) Ian Neale of Langstone in Gwent grew a cucumber measuring 80.4cm and a parsnip which was 186.2cm long.
Ten-year-old Jamie Courtney-Fortey who is Kevin's son is obviously following in his father's footsteps having won the class for the largest sunflower head with his entry which had a diameter of 41cm.
Aberglasney's Joseph Atkin and one of Wales' most successful growers of Giant Vegetables, Kevin Fortey, along with Medwyn Williams will also host a special 'Gardeners Question Time' at 2.00pm on the day of the competition in the Mansion House.
The prizes in each category are well worth growers' efforts thanks to the generosity of this year's competition sponsors – Monddi Design Agency in Pembrokeshire, Redkite Solicitors and Myrddin Garden Machinery. 1st prize is £40 or a joint annual membership for Aberglasney worth £75; 2nd prize is £20 or a single annual membership for Aberglasney worth £55; and 3rd prize is a family day ticket for the Gardens (2 adults & 2 children.)
The full list of classes is as follows:
- Heaviest Individual Marrow
- Heaviest Individual Pumpkin or Squash
- Heaviest Individual Cabbage
- Heaviest Individual Leek
- Longest Carrot or Parsnip
- Longest Runner Bean
- Ugliest Vegetable in Show
- Largest Sunflower Head (diameter)
Special prizes will also be given to the best junior exhibit and the best Aberglasney Members Exhibit.
It will be free to enter the competition and each exhibitor will receive one free admission ticket for entry to Aberglasney on the day of judging. You are however required to complete an entry form for your exhibit(s). Entry forms are available by clicking: Giant Vegetable Entry Form 2017. Entry forms must be completed and returned to Aberglasney Gardens, Llangathen, Carmarthenshire. SA32 8QH or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com
As exhibitors, we ask that you arrive with your entries between 9.00am and 9.30am. We would kindly ask that you leave your entries on display until 3.00pm so that they can be enjoyed by other visitors. The Gardens will be open to the public from 10.00am until 6.00pm (last entries 5.00pm) and normal garden admission charges will apply for all non-exhibitors.

Music is around us. Just let it into your iPhone. Yes, we know that you already have some, but shouldn't there be new exciting ways to enhance your audio experience? There are so many and today we will check seven of them. We'll get through several great options for online music streaming and review a couple of apps to have some music fun with. So here is our chart for the most interesting and engaging music apps available on the App Store.
You create a so-called radio station with the music that appeals to you as a basis. The app analyzes the preferences and adds songs and artists alike to the list. If you feel that a song is good, press the 'like' button. You can tell Pandora that you don't like a song in the same manner, by pressing the 'dislike' button. That's the way you can fine-tune your playlist and get more songs to resonate the vibes of your soul.
Sounds good and basically it is good, yet not faultless. First of all, you need to be in the 'right' country to use the app. And there are only three of them right now: the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Sorry, the rest of the world! And sorry if you have the app but happen to travel outside of the three countries. Copyright restrictions, you know. Be ready to hear and see ads, sometimes many annoying ads of up to 30 seconds long, unless you are ready to pay for the subscription. You can't listen to your favorite music via the app offline. And you are not in the full control of what you are listening to: you have the right to skip songs but it's limited. The songs catalogue could have been bigger given that Pandora is one of the oldest and most popular music streaming services on the App Store.
Despite the fact that Pandora has cons, it can be used for free and has a really great algorithm to discover new music.
Spotify Music
The app is certainly a leader when it comes to the music library size. It's huge. More than 30 million songs, which is 20 times bigger that Pandora's library. Impressive, isn't it? There are 20+ 'right' countries for Spotify. Clean UI and great sound quality are also the aspects worth mentioning here.
What will you suffer from to get all that was mentioned? One more time, it's ads. If you want to get free listening time, you will have to tolerate them. Otherwise subscribe and pay (around $10 per month, which is more than twice as much as Pandora wants). Good news is, if you have a subscription you are allowed to choose the exact songs you want to hear (no more mere shuffle) and you will be able to download songs and enjoy them offline.
You can discover videos of other people or easily become a creator and be discovered. Better give both options a try.
The app claims to offer you millions of tracks to deal with. That means there is a great chance to find somebody expressing his/her/their creativity using your favorite song as audio background. How will it look like? Check it out, it can be really fun.
After getting inspired by others, allow yourself to become a music video guru. Choose a song, cut it and start filming your epic lip sync motions. There are free effects and filters available to help you enhance the result. When your masterpiece is finished you are free to determine its fate: let it fly global and be discovered by many or keep it private and available only to the closest friends.
There is no sense to speak about minuses of Musical.ly (happen there to be any), the app is for fun, so you either like it and use it or don't like it and don't use it.
Let's put it really simple and valuable: somebody uploads music (it may be your favorite band) and you can listen to it for free. You can also upload audio files if you are part of your favorite band. Just kidding.. Of course, if you have something to say to the world.
SoundCloud has social network functions (you can follow bands and people, be followed, like and comment), thus it's pretty good to keep in touch with multiple parts of modern day audio reality. What concerns comments you can choose exact part of audio file and leave a comment to it. Isn't it really nice to have an opportunity to precisely point out that you like this very solo that much?
As a resume, SoundCloud is great to keep your finger on the audio pulse of multiple music creators and to distribute your own songs, if you are writing some.
This time real radio experience, because along with creating your own virtual radio station, you can stream hundreds of actual radio stations to your device. That's really cool if you like to listen to real radio. Especially if you had lived in, let's say, Chicago for 10 years and had a favorite station there and now you have moved to New York and miss it. You see, no need to say bye-bye to it. iHeartRadio solves the problem by bringing beloved sounds back.
Listening experience is not limited to frankly huge amount of real radio stations, you can create your own stations (pretty much the same thing as in Pandora or Spotify). You can choose from different categories or get a playlist based on chosen song or artist. There are likes and dislikes to adjust your playlist.
If you like to fall asleep with radio playing as a background there is an option called sleep timer in the app. You can set the timer to turn off the music after a certain period of time.
And now about annoying things: be ready to tolerate ads time and again. You are also supposed to register to use the app's functionality and they will try to push you to connect your account to Facebook every now and then.
Free Music Mp3 Player
You can choose genres from multiple variants offered or search for your favorite artists/songs and listen to the music for as long as you wish and have Internet connection.
There are plenty of covers and remixes of famous songs in the app, if you are interested in stuff like that. But not all of them are professional. Not even the majority of them. Frequently you will bump into poor attempts of guys and girls trying to sing over the actual song. And there will be ads popping up. Even for having a chance to hear poor attempts mentioned above.
Here you are to dive into intense stream of music. Actually into many streams divided into multiple subgenres arranged into distinct periods of time. You will find yourself trying to guess artists and song names for Classic Rock and Modern Hip-Hop, for Pop Hits of winter 2014 and 80's Dance Party. There are hundreds of options. A kind of social interaction is what makes the game really addictive. You are playing with real people and receiving virtual money to unlock new genres. There is an option to play with built-in AI, but why would you use it if you have an opportunity for real human brains challenge? Train your recognition skills and learn to stay focused.
Here is the sad point about SongPop, finally you will have to sign up to enjoy the game. At least the game will keep persisting that you need to do that. The interface of SongPop seems to be outdated, but developers have recently released a SongPop 2, so if you want to keep up to the trend, you might want to check it.
Most of the apps reviewed today are great to delight your music taste whether you already are a huge music fan or you just want to be surrounded by pleasant sounds from time to time. Apps like Pandora and Spotify will definitely help you to explore the vast world of songs and to find something really new and sweet to your ears. Musical.ly and SongPop will bring more interactive fun to the stage and will give you a chance to prove yourself as an active listener. Love music, live it!
Do you use any of the apps mentioned? What is your favorite one in the music category? Let us know in the comments below.

Typhus goes with large blob and foots up to an opponent objective or blob. Sorcerer goes with PM hunting hard targets. CSM looks for an objective or light armor. Second large blob and small blob sit on my objectives. Heldrakes look for infantry. Maulerfiends look for armor or targets of opportunity. Oblitz either get to high ground and blow stuff up or deepstrike in to make trouble late. Thoughts? How bad did I screw this attempt up?

You're going to have trouble with fliers and your long ranged support is lacking. Two obliterators isn't much. Your Heldrakes may have some problems maneuvering around the board with all of the infantry you'd have clogging up the board, but this can be mitigated with smart movement choices. I also don't see why you'd choose a plasma pistol over a plasma gun.ReplyDelete
Other than that, it appears to be a solid list. It has a plenty of nasty units to cause problems for your opponent. I actually recently created a list similar to this one. I just use Autocannon Havocs and Vendetta allies instead.Replies
I will answer the easy question first. The plasma pistol v. plasma gun was my screw up with AB. Thanks for catching it.Delete
I thought about flyers. The main two I have to worry about is the Vendetta and the Stormeagle. Necrons can be a pain but in the times I have played against them it was easier to ignore them. My plan for this list was to do the same to all flyers. To hope that the fiends get into position early and be able to ignore them long enough. I admit it's a risk but I have to give it some thought.
I have thought about AC Havocs. Strong unit with a big upside against all flyers. Vendettas are beasts against anything except large blobs. I may play around with the points to get the Havocs in there. I wasn't expecting to play this list at a tournament without playtesting it. Unfortunately, I have to tournaments back to back the next two weekends that I will be going in without trying these lists. I appreciate the feedback and will post how it went.

The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophynotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules which associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. CD140b, also known as PDGFRB, is a member of the CD system. CD140b is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor essencial for development interacting with the platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) which serves as mitogens for mesenchymal cells. CD140b can bind with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B, that are secreted by tumors and phosphorylation of PDGFR-β was correlated with depth of cancer invasion at statistically significant level.

There are countless music contests around the world. One can hardly keep count of all the talent shows on television where extraordinary moments, brilliant individuals and exceptional performances are being sought, gluing millions of viewers to the screens. Seeing the success of these talent shows, we asked ourselves: what if, for the first time ever, we could channel this attention, this hunger for talent, this popularity into a Hungarian-developed show revolving around classical music? That's when Virtuosos was born.
The mastermind behind the classical music talent show, now in its third season, is Mariann Peller. As producer of the show and the Virtuosos Program, she is responsible for developing the format and setting the show's quality standards.
Virtuosos is looking for real talents and introduces them to the audience.
Unlike in other talent shows, there are no goofy and cartoonish sub-par performances here just for viewers to laugh at. Musicians appearing on Virtuosos are all talented youngsters who aren't "manufactured" by the show. Our goal is to discover talented people and provide them with strong professional background, ample attention, and challenges and performance opportunities necessary for growing. The show's patron is the wife of the President of Hungary, Mrs. Anita Hercegh.
Virtuosos Production does not abandon the young musicians after the show's over. Besides discovering them, the program's basic pillar is the nurturing and support of their talent on the long run. To this end, the Young Virtuosos Foundation was set up as a guarantee, aiding these young artists with professional and financial support, scholarships and by organizing concerts. Thanks to this, the wonderful talents discovered on our show can now be seen at the most prestigious venues in the world, from the United States through Europe to Asia.
This year marked the second time that the musicians of Virtuosos have given a sold out New Year concert at the Hungarian Academy of Music, which was broadcast internationally by the national network. But Virtuosos even managed to become popular outside the traditional circles of classical music. Our musicians have performed at the opening of the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix, to the delegates of the Budapest NATO summit, at the Kossuth Award gala, at the Olympics' honouring ceremony at the Parliament and the Milan World Fair.
Following the immense success in Hungary, we would now like to bring the international markets' attention to the format. Therefore, we have established Virtuosos Intertnational Inc., tasked with bringing the show to other countries. The founders of the company introduced themselves to the international community of professionals at the world's largest television fair in Cannes in early April. At the festival, a Memorandum was signed with the management of the Slovakian public broadcaster to launch the show in Slovakia.
Last year, the owner of the license signed an agreement with Dick Clark Productions, producer of the Golden Globe Awards, to sell the license of Virtuosos.
World famous artists have expressed their love and support for our show and our young talents. We are extremely proud to have received endorsement from renowned opera singer Placido Domingo, who came to Budapest in the Spring of 2016 to hear and advise our young musicians in person. Later in August, he invited violinist Gyuszi Váradi to appear as a guest performer at his grand concert in Budapest.

Board President's Update, Aug. 22
Dear Austin ISD Community,
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Back to School Bash last week. I especially would like to thank the more than 300 parents, students and community members who completed the superintendent search survey at the event.
Since June, more than 2,000 Austin ISD community members completed the survey, sharing their feedback about the characteristics the new superintendent should possess.
Ray and Associates, the search firm hired by the board, compiled the feedback from the surveys (1,863 online and 172 hard copies), as well as comments from the community engagement meetings in July and from the district's website to develop a superintendent profile that matches the unique needs of Austin.
Based on Austin's highest-ranking qualities, the district's new leader will be a superintendent who:
- possesses the leadership skills required to respond to the challenges presented by an ethnically and culturally diverse community;
- is strongly committed to a student first philosophy in all decisions; and
- inspires trust, has high levels of self-confidence and optimism, and models high standards of integrity and personal performance.
I invite you to review the final report prepared by the search firm, along with the flyer they will use to promote the position nationally.
After reviewing the feedback from the survey, it became clear to me that there is a wide range of interests and desires in the Austin community. As Austin ISD trustees, it is our job to find balance for the benefit of the district as a whole. We are leaving no stone unturned, and I am confident that the search firm will find the right candidates for us.
Please note that the superintendent search will be discussed at the first regular board meeting of the school year Tuesday, Aug. 26. You're welcome to share your feedback with the board during Citizens Communication at the meeting, through the superintendent search website or directly via email.
I wish all students and parents a successful start to the school year. Please visit the district's Back to School webpage for information and updates.
Vincent Torres

PEMBROKE PINES -- In an effort to keep the medical reserve unit at North Perry Airport, city commissioners are urging Broward County to offer the Army Reserve unit a longer lease and additional land for a hangar.
A recent Pentagon study determined that its aviation units would be more cost effective if operations were consolidated in South Carolina, said Bill Harris, information officer for the 81st Army Reserve Command in East Point, Ga. But, he added, the decision to move hasn`t been finalized.
``It`s just a proposal to move the unit,`` Harris said. ``If it does happen, it could take months or a year.``
The Army now leases hangar space and land for its building from two private companies that provide aviation services to the Army unit, said Timothy Campbell, director of the Broward County Aviation Division. The county leases land at the airport to those private companies, he said.
The reserve unit at North Perry, with its six helicopters, is the only aviation center the Army operates in south Broward, Harris said.
Pembroke Pines Mayor Charles Flanagan said the Army previously had requested an additional hangar.
Two reserve units, the 347th Reserve Medical Detachment Unit and the 3220th U.S. Army Garrison, use the center for aviation training, Harris said.
If the operation is moved to South Carolina, the reservists probably would be absorbed in other units and the full-time personnel would be relocated, Harris said.
When news about the proposed move reached the mayor, he wrote in August to U.S. Rep. Larry Smith, D-Hollywood, seeking his assistance in getting the Army unit to stay in the city.

Working group 2 aims to design a novel microstructure with reduced or without CRMs and design of related processing techniques with thermodynamic and kinetic models and experimental approach considering the full material life-cycle. Leveraging the recourse to advanced computational multiscale modelling and combinatorial characterization methods to screen a large number of candidate solutions in a parametric/combinatorial fashion in close contact with experimental development to enable a faster and economically viable effort. Material production, microstructure evolution characterization, (in-situ) property characterization, weldability/joinability, durability under extreme conditions, wear performance, corrosion performance, and temperature performance will be considered. Furthermore, the optimization of the upper full material life-cycle issues, such as usage, life-time, and recycling is shortened through multiscale modelling methods together with experimental validation methods.

Running Back Doug Martin
Guard Kevin Pamphile
(On the first thing he did when he got back to One Buc)
"The first thing I did when I got back was to go see the trainers to make sure that I was physically okay and I passed that with flying colors. Not everybody else is here right now. We've got a late schedule today, but I can't wait to see everybody."
(On if he is excited to be back)
"Oh yeah, definitely. We've got the Patriots coming up and I can't wait to get out there and play for these guys. It's been a while. It was a long break and now I can't wait to get out there and play."
(On what he has been doing the past four weeks)
"I've just been working out. I was over there in California. If I wasn't working out, I was hanging out with my family who also lives out there. I'm glad to be back."
(On how much of an asset he can be to the Buccaneers as he gets back out on the field)
"I'm going to go out there and just do the best that I can do. I'll be as ready as I can be and just play for these guys and just work hard like I know I can."
(On how he feels physically)
"I feel great. I had a good plan over there in California. The guys that I was working out with, they definitely helped me out a lot and I believe that I am ready to go."
(On what it means about the Buccaneers organization that they stuck with him and brought him back)
"It says a lot. I'm very grateful [with] everything that has gone on and it feels good that they're sticking by my side. I just want to go out there and play hard and do what I know I can do."
(On watching the games from home)
"I had to go somewhere to see the games because they don't show a lot of the Buccaneers games out in [California], so I had to go somewhere to see it. I watched it with my family. It was weird. It was different. As I am watching my heart is going and things like that, but I'm glad that I'm back now."
(On what he sees in the offensive line and the running game so far this season)
"With [O.J. Howard's] presence with us, the running game has definitely improved, as well as having J.R. Sweezy back. It's just going to keep on improving and I can't wait to get out there and just run behind those guys."
(On what it means to him that his teammates talk so highly of him)
"It means a lot. I love these guys and these guys love me. I know that [when] I wasn't here, I know they were thinking of me and they can't wait for me to get back here. Now I'm back and I'm going to play for these guys."
(On what is the biggest positive of coming back at this point of the season)
"Fresh legs – that's the best thing about this."
(On the short week)
"Obviously coming off of a win is a good feeling right now. What we want to do is capitalize on that and build on that process – go into Thursday with a good mindset."
(On how difficult it is physically)
"It's a quick turnaround for everyone who is a little banged up [and] guys who played a little longer than usual. Obviously, we have to make sure we get plenty of rest and hydration. [We've got to] game plan and make sure we study enough film [to] make sure we are on the right keys and then communicate."
(On if he is excited for the opportunity to go up against a defense who has been giving up 32 points per game this season)
"Yeah, a little bit, but we can't take anything away from them. That's a great team. [They're] the defending champs. We want to attack them regardless [of] if they are giving up points or not. [We] want to prove ourselves. We want to make sure we let them know we're a competitive team."
(On running back Doug Martin returning to the team)
"It's great to see Doug back, honestly. That's a breath of fresh air – another asset to the offense that is just going to make us even more tough to beat."
(On what Martin means to the locker room)
"We treat Doug as family. He is a brother. We're happy to see him back and we're able to give him support on the field."

El Nino
Climate Change
The Asian summer monsoon is
the most vigorous, extensive and influential one of
all monsoon systems with the vast Afro-Eurasian land
mass, the Tibetan Plateau, and the East African Highlands.
There are many researches to understand of the Asian
monsoon system, but it has not fully understood yet.
a) Definition
of Monsoon
- Etymologically, the Arabic "mausim" which means
the season is the origin of the "monsoon". It originally
meant southwesterly in summer and northeasterly in winter in the
Arabian sea, but nowadays monsoon have the meaning of the seasonal
- In South and East Asia, "monsoon" means rainy season
connected with the rice crop for a living.
- Climatologically, "monsoon" means a constant winds
group satisfying the next condition; It has to have high frequency
in the season, occupy geographical space suitable for atmospheric
general circulation wind system, and turn to the reverse direction
or almost reverse direction from winter to summer.
The features of monsoon climate are the seasonal
change of wind, the humid summer and the dry winter. In a world-wide
sense, there are many regions which have monsoon climate. It is
known that Indian monsoon region is most dominant than others. In Asian
region, summer monsoon starts to develop from mid-May and continues
till September or October, and has much rainfall with flowed lower
winds. In the case of summer monsoon, the features of continental
space structure are the formation of low pressure gage in the lower
layer, the convergence in the lower layer, existence of lower
atmospheric inflow from ocean and increase in humidity, and increase
in precipitation. In winter, there are reverse features.
In this manner, although many
regions lying in maritime continents are observed as monsoon regions,
we are concerned in Asian monsoon having largest scale and great
influences; That is Indian monsoon and East-Asian monsoon.
b) Mechanisms
- Heat Difference between Continents and Oceans -
Coriolis Force by Rotation of the Earth - Role of Water
: Energy Release/Absorption by Phase Change
c) Monsoon Regions and Characteristics
① East Asian monsoon
- East Asian monsoon is divided into to parts; summer and
winter monsoon. It is very different feature from Indian
monsoon having no winter monsoon. In the case of summer
monsoon, there are heavy rain and humid weather under the influence
of lower southwesterly in Central Asia and East Asia. Under
winter monsoon, northeasterly originated in the vast anticyclonic
circulation in Siberian region is superior wind in these regions
in Siberian region. This circulation shifts continental
parcel characterized by cold temperature and low humidity to
the east and south cost of China.
- East Asian monsoon system
② Indian monsoon - Beginning from early-June and continuing to September
- More than 90% of annual precipitation in central and western
India, and more than 50-75% of southern and northwestern India
- At peak of monsoon, July and August, spacial and monthly
mean precipitation is 200 to 300㎜ (Fig. 45. a) - Comparison with recent cases of monsoon season monsoon
season in 1997
ridge takes its position from north of Africa to southwestern
Asia - monsoon influences
on north India and southeastern Asia during June and July of
1997 monsoon season in
1998 - 1200-1600㎜
rainfall in western India -
200-600㎜ rainfall for total time average -
upper level monsoon ridge extends from northeastern Africa to
southeastern Asia -
The intensified ridge is connected with large circulation including
the north Atlantic and the most Eurasia -
In the downstream region of this monsoon ridge, cyclonic flow
induces heavy rainfall in Yangtze River during June and July
d) Monsoon Indices
- Asian summer monsoon
These three monsoon indices provide a succinct description of the Asian summer monsoon circulation variability for the broad scale South Asian monsoon, ISM, and WNP-EASM, respectively.
In order to conveniently measure Asian summer monsoon circulation anomalies, Webster and Yang (1992) proposed a circulation index, the Webster-Yang
index (WYI), which is defined by the vertical zonal wind shear between 200 and 850 hPa (u 200-u 850) averaged over the region (40 ºE-110 ºE, 0-20 ºN). The WYI describes the broad-scale South Asian monsoon variability that is primarily driven by two convective heat sources, one lies in the Bay of Bengal, and the other in the vicinity of Philippines.
Wang and Fan (1999) found that the variations of the two convective heat sources reflect, respectively, the variations of the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) and the western North Pacific-East Asian summer monsoon (WNP-EASM); but they are not significantly correlated on the interannaul and decadal time scales. Thus, Wang and Fan (1999) proposed two indexes that quantify the variability of the ISM and WNP-EASM, respectively. The ISM
index (IMI) may be defined by the 850 hPa zonal wind averaged over (5 ºN-15 ºN 40 ºE-80 ºE) minus that averaged over (20 ºN-30 ºN, 60 ºE-90 ºE) (Fig. 2). This meridional shear of zonal winds depicts the intensity of the Indian monsoon trough and associated southwesterly monsoon. Similarly, the WNP-EAM
index (WPEMI) can be defined by the 850hPa wind speed averaged over (5 ºN-15 ºN, 100-130 ºE) minus that over (20 ºN-30 ºN, 110-140 ºE). The IMI and the WPEMI are highly representative of the dominant EOF modes of the low-level circulation anomalies over the ISM (30 ºE-100 ºE, 0-30 ºN) and the WNP-EASM (100-170 ºE, 0-40 ºN) regions with correlation coefficients of 0.72 and 0.88, respectively for the period of 1958-1997 (Wang et al. 2001).
The regional monsoon index, RM2 is index for east Asia monsoon region defined by Lau et al.(2000) obtained from upper circulation connected with rainfall. To identify circulation features that are most strongly correlated with rainfall over 5–25oN, 100–130oE for Southeast Asia, it is defined as u200mb[40–50oN, 110–150oE] minus u200mb[25–35oN, 110–150oE] based on the correlation map between rainfall and 200mb zonal wind field.
- Australian summer monsoon
McBride et al (1995) proposed a circulation index measuring the Australian summer monsoon variability using 850 hPa zonal wind anomalies averaged over (0-10 ºS, 120 ºE-150 ºE), which is referred to as Australian
monsoon index (AUSMI).

Damn shame about this one. It just doesn't work on any level.
Granted the source material is Pixar's weakest film. Despite that, the CARS franchise continues to reap the studio's largest pile of merchandising cash. This comic is just another piece of licensing - another toy or sleeping bag.
The script is a rehash of the film's Hero-Learns-Humility plot. Whereas the movie could at least fall back on some kinetic thrills to pad out the story, the comic fails to bring these speeding cars to life. It's panel after flat panel of static images with banal word balloons pasted in. Dig these pages at www.boom-studios.net if you don't believe me. That first page loaded with type and head-on medium shots is sure to capture kids' imaginations. After that we have the supposed money shots of Lightning McQueen tearing up the raceway, but it just doesn't flow as it should. They look like toys sitting on the page. The coloring? It doesn't help. The best I can say is it looks like a coloring book completed by someone very good at staying inside the lines. I can't even say anything nice about the lettering when you have such confusing balloon placements as this:
This is truly the weakest of the new line. With THE INCREDIBLES and THE MUPPET SHOW* you can tell the creators have been inspired by the source material to make something exceptional. The inspiration for THE WORLD OF CARS has obviously come from Disney's merchandising department.
*Review coming Friday. Spoiler: It's awesome.
