Among other things, New York is famous for its wide variety in entertainment, and theater in particular. Think of theater and you only think of Broadway. Broadway, with its more than 100 years of theatrical history behind it, is one stop most tourists and visitors to New York make. They make it a point to see at least one show on Broadway – an experience of a lifetime. Tickets for Broadway shows and plays are sold months in advance, and people on a short visit to The Big Apple face a problem of procuring them at a short notice. This is where we, at Reedstickets.net, provide you satisfactory services as New York ticket brokers for the show of your choice.
The experience of enjoying the plays and shows live on stage is quite different from seeing them on the cinema screen or on television. This is why Broadway is so popular and the tickets for its shows are so difficult to obtain – unless you know how. A New York ticket broker is your best bet. Most of them are licensed, and members of the National Association of Ticket Brokers – and work to a set standard.
The advantage of using a New York ticket broker, such as us, is that we can offer you premium seats for most of the shows on Broadway, and on a short notice.
Theater Tickets On Broadway
Broadway tickets for premium shows get sold out fast, and this is when we step in to provide you theater tickets for shows on Broadway. You, of course, will have to pay more than the face value of the ticket, to cover our costs in procuring the tickets for you. The more popular the show, the more high you may have to pay, reflecting the difficulty in procuring tickets for popular shows.
Depending on the popularity of the show, and the seating arrangement, the face value of the tickets may vary from $20 to $120. On an average, the face value of tickets with good seating arrangement is $70.
The tickets for the seats near the orchestra are more expensive than the tickets for the mezzanine. Partial view tickets may be very affordable, but they obstruct the view of a portion of the stage. The least expensive are the SRO (Standing Room Only) tickets, where you watch the show standing up – no seats are available.
We, at Reedstickets.net, guarantee you the tickets for the show of your choice, and the seats you wish to have, but just like all other ticket brokers, we too cannot guarantee a particular seat number. We may be able to help you obtain tickets for the orchestra section, for the mezzanine, or for a particular section.
The advantage of using the services of a New York ticket broker for tickets for a Broadway show over buying your tickets from a re-sale forum, or through agencies such as eBay, etc is that you are sure that the tickets are genuine, and they are delivered to you fast.

Jack was really excited to play in an actual game because it meant that he could wear his game jersey with his number and his name on the back. He was so excited.
And incredibly adorable.
The hockey game was on Sunday. If you were paying attention, Sunday was 10/10/10. Now, in binary, 101010 = 42. Nerds the world over delighted in this, what with 42 being the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Naturally, Alex and I are a couple of those nerds, but Alex is the only part of this nerd couple who speaks binary.
Number 42 in the hizzouse!
Naturally, Alex was very excited and set about teaching me how to count in binary using a crayon and a paper napkin.
But I digress. Jack was absolutely adorable out on the ice. He very gamely and very slowly skated back and forth from goal to goal, vaguely following the action. He did manage to touch the puck once when he was in the little face off at the beginning of a period when the referee drops the puck between two players on opposite teams and they both try to hit the thing. I don't know what that's called. I told you I don't know anything about hockey.
Jack's team practices at a regular ol' ice rink in Maryland. They got to play this game at the Capitals' practice rink in Virginia. It was very exciting. Jack was fascinated by the timekeeping...thingy hanging from the ceiling. The one at our home rink is not so cool. He fell over more than once because he was trying to look at it while skating right underneath it.
See what I mean about a lot of people on the ice?
Alex, Sam, and Quinn came to the game too, which was very cool, because they hadn't seen Jack skate yet. Alex was blown away. He saw the magic on the ice rink, just like I see it every week. Unfortunately, he was ill prepared for the rink temperature and wore shorts and almost forgot a jacket. Fortunately Quinn and I thought ahead.
You'd never know it was 80 degrees outside.
Sam refused to sit near us. He sat waaay up in the back of the bleachers. Turns out my kid is old enough to sit by himself now. I'm not sure I'm ready for that milestone.
Mr. Independent.
He seemed pretty engrossed in the game. It's unusual for him to sit in one place so quietly for so long, so at one point I finally decided to check on him.
Evidently he was still tired from his sleepover the night before.
I think Jack was tired from the night before too. The players were rotating through every three minutes or so, so Jack played for half of the 45-minute game time. Near the end of the game he began to fall more often. Then he clearly started to notice the attention he was getting from the mentors, many of whom were girl hockey players.
Girl hockey players, by the way, are automatically badass.
Anyway, these mentors gave Jack a lot of attention and he started to ham it up for them. At one point he had five mentors around him helping him up. The coach was joking with him about getting all the ladies.
I think that caused Jack to ham it up even more.
And ham it up he did.
That kid is lucky he's cute.
I love our hockey team.
I'm all about hockey today. Check out what I wrote about Jack's team over at Hopeful Parents.
You can also read my review of EA Sports' NHL Slapshot over at my review blog.
Now I'm going to go NOT think about hockey.

Why does Membership matter?
The short answer: because the church matters. The longer answer is the rest of this article.
All those who know Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour are already members of the body of Christ. Becoming a member of a church therefore is not a salvation issue, but it is a biblical issue. As you read through this paper, please read from the Bible where it is referenced and ask any questions you have. When church membership comes up for discussion, many wonder why it's necessary and see it as a human idea, as something not found in the Bible. But what if the opposite were true?
Part 1 of our two-part series in Membership of Reforming takes a close look at why local church membership matters to us as a church. The second paper, Part 2, will take a close look at Members on Mission. For now, we turn our attention to something that is often neglected and that is a biblical and theological view of why membership matters.
THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH – To church is to be truly human.
Big claim. Yet if you think with a biblically informed worldview then we see that this is God's plan for the world. God gives us His plan in full in Jesus Christ, who is the truly perfect human, the righteous one, the one whom we are all to be joined to and bearing fruit in [John 15:1-17]. In Ephesians 1, we see His plan for the universe outlined in broad brushstrokes and yet that includes the tiniest of detail, namely you. God has put all things under Jesus feet, and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body [Ephesians 1:22 – 23].
God's intention for his creation and His creatures was for them to be gathered to Him, yet our sin broke the whole thing. Ever since then, God has been fulfilling his rescue plan, which has ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. It happens throughout history again and again: sin scatters, God gathers. So that when Jesus looks at the church, and shows it to the world in His Word, he says: "That's my handiwork" [Ephesians 2:10]. God's intention is for people to find their true identity in Jesus, and therefore find themselves saved and gathered in Christ's body, the church. "To church" (gather in God's name), is to be truly human.
THE LOCAL CHURCH – Local church is family.
We worship one God, three persons, He is in His very nature relational. Being triune, He has designed us for relationship with himself. This relationship is expressed in a community of people whom God has fashioned us for fellowship, and therefore formed us for family. Jesus loved and laid his life down for His church, and as it matters to Him so it matters to us – especially the local church. Church matters because people matter.
The Bible shows us again and again the picture of the local church as a family, the household of God [1 Timothy 3:14 – 15]. As God's children [1 John 3:1] we are members of one another [Romans 12:5], and we relate to each other as family [1 Timothy 5:1 – 2], and this relationship means we need to know who we are committed to being part of the family. As Christians, God has called us to be included in his new community, His family. We have been called to believe, and also to belong.
THE BIBLICAL CHURCH – Local church from the Bible
Is local church membership in the Bible? It's a common question and often a misconception that it doesn't belong, until we see that the Bible is consistent in showing us a picture of local church membership. Although we have seen from the Bible where we start in our thinking about what is the church and what is the local church, we will now particularly look to see what the Bible says about the concept of local church membership.
In Matthew 18:15 – 20, Jesus says to take issues of unrepentant sin to "the church." We see a series of relationships that are to be involved in dealing with such issues, and all relationships would need to be spatially local, moreover we would need to know who is the church locally to be able to take any sin issue to them. Here in Jesus words we see how church needs some idea of locality in space and time to us, and how there needs therefore to be a concept of who is 'in' the local church and who is 'outside'. Without this concept of membership these words of instruction have no function then and now.
In Acts 2:42 we see the local church in Jerusalem devoted to the fellowship of one another, and in Acts 2:47 the Lord added to their number those who were being saved. It's very hard to understand these things without locality in mind and membership of that local group in mind.
In Acts 6:1 – 6, we see where the appointing of leaders happens within a congregation.
In Acts 20:29 – 30, we see that caring for the flock against wolves of false teachers, and this requires a form of membership of that flock to know who is in it.
Then we see local church membership is so necessary when it comes to cases of unrepentant sin or false teaching and living. This is particularly seen in the case of 1 Corinthians 5, where we see there is an assumption of public knowledge who is in the church and who is not. Paul says in 1Corinthians 5:12 – 13, 'For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. "Purge the evil person from among you." Purging or expelling makes only sense in the context of there being a local and visible belonging. And then later, get this, when Paul tells the Corinthian church to admit that same man back into fellowship, he says to them in 2 Corinthians 2:6, 'For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough'. 'Majority' can only make sense if we see that there has to be a recognized whole.[1]
In 1 Corinthians 12 – 13, the whole description of the church as a body and it's members of whom all participate in fellowship for the building of the church, only makes sense when we understand locality. This building of the church body of course can only occur as members love one another.
In Ephesians 2:19, Paul uses the language that we are members of the household of God.
In Hebrews 13:7 and 13:17, it's very hard to remember your leaders and submit to them, unless you know who they are and therefore what body of people you officially belong to and who your leaders formally are. And how do you let the elders who rule well be worthy of double honour [1 Timothy 5:17], unless we know who they are locally? Then we see in 1 Peter 5:1 – 5 that elders are to shepherd the flock of God among them, caring for those in their charge and being examples to that flock. And this role in the local church is not to domineer over members, but for their good, out of love [1 Thessalonians 5:12 – 13].
In 1 Timothy 5:9, we see the 'widow lists' were kept in the New Testament church. It would be necessary to understand who belongs to the church in this case, and statements like Galatians 6:10 would only make sense in this way if we know who the local household of faith are to be able to care for them.
Local church is a place to call home for a while.
We live in a culture where people are reluctant to commit to one-another, it's pretty sad to see many relationships like this. When our culture's preferences are not being met, people move onto the next product, or person (even spouse, sadly), and we too easily treat church in the same way. Whereas, to be a member is to show your public commitment to Christ and His people, and that you commit to believing in Jesus and being like Him with this specific group of His disciples. Being committed to others is a very powerful way to love others, and radically counter-cultural way to live in a culture suffering from consumerism.
Here's the beauty then of becoming a member of a local church, it's counter-cultural and says something so different as this: "I am committed to this group of people and they are committed to me. I am not a consumer but gathered by the saviour as a gift and servant to give for others sake".

In a few patches we'll be removing a defunct 3rd party program from our installer and patcher, called Pando Media Booster, which used to help us with peer-to-peer file delivery. As a peer-to-peer service, Pando previously allowed players to get the patch files they need from other nearby League players, instead of pinging our servers which may be farther away. Though we're no longer using Pando Media Booster, we're planning to develop our own peer-to-peer solution in the future to speed up the patching process and get you in game faster.
When Pando Media Booster is removed, League of Legends will display a pop-up giving you the option to remove the program from your computer with a single click. We recommend removing it when prompted (or manually removing it now) since we no longer use this service and are in the process of building our own solution.
Before then, some of you might see a different pop-up from your operating system when you launch League of Legends. This is an information-gathering step in our peer-to-peer development process. The pop-up will ask for permission to modify firewall settings from an application called "Riot P2P". If you choose to allow this application, it will collect details on your network configuration while you patch (not when you're in game) but will not record any personal or identifying information. Specifically, it will let us know which types of network configurations are most common and how many players are typically on the same area network (home, office, PC café, etc.). We'll use this information to guide development of our native peer-to-peer solution so LoL can eventually provide the benefits of peer-to-peer technology for patching.
We'll continue to provide updates as we move closer to introducing our peer-to-peer solution. Keep an eye out for more details on the upcoming removal of Pando Media Booster in the Patch Notes!

BOSTON — Unfortunately, when it comes to the worst zoos in the world, the stories are pretty much all the same: small cages and living spaces, unnatural surroundings of concrete and iron, under-feeding and under-watering and well, cruelty in general.
However, some zoos go above and beyond expectations of horrible.
Ever hear of a zoo misplacing a few animals? How about one that slowly turns into a taxidermy museum? Animals being shipped two-by-two on a "Noah's Ark" to a different country?
The zoos listed here are places you don't want to bring the kids. Or yourself for that matter.
Giza Zoo — Egypt

The Giza Zoo in Cairo seems to have fallen upon a King Tut amount of bad luck with their animals over the past few years. In 2004, the zoo was expelled from the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums for many reasons, including substandard results during an inspection and the inhumane killing of two gorillas thought to be infected with the Ebola virus. Then, in 2006, its birds began to die from Avian Flu and in 2008 two men broke into the zoo and killed two camels. Now, it seems that for a little illegal personal payment, zookeepers are letting zoo-goers play with any animal they want, including bears, lion cubs, elephants, tigers and seals.
Glkand Zoo — Iraqi Kurdistan

Not only does the Glkand Zoo in Iraq have the usual zoo problems of too-small living spaces and general cruelty towards animals, it also seems to be a location of illegal animal smuggling. An increasing trend among the Iraqi wealthy is to acquire a private zoo with the most exotic animals possible, and the Glkand Zoo is a transaction point for some of these exchanges. The zoo owner openly says that he smuggles some animals for private zoos, like birds and monkeys, but denies that he does so with more dangerous animals, like lions. Although, there seems to be proof to the contrary.
Mumbai Zoo — India

The only zoo in Mumbai is taking an interesting approach to keeping diversity among its animals. Unable to replace animals as they die because the existing enclosures don't conform to anti-cruelty guidelines, the zoo has decided to stuff the animals and put them up on display in a taxidermy museum instead.
Kiev Zoo — Ukraine

In 2008, 51 animals died in the Kiev Zoo and in recent months, they lost a 39-year-old elephant, a white camel and a bison. Two sick yaks were saved by veterinarians. Zoo authorities blame a mysterious middle-aged man for poisoning the animals, while critics point at substandard living conditions and negligent handling by unqualified zoo administration.
San Antonio Zoo — Texas

The San Antonio Zoo was rated number one in the 2009 list of the 10 Worst Zoos for Elephants compiled by In Defense of Animals — a title they've had for the second year straight. For two years the unfortunate elephant named Lucky was kept in solitary confinement in an area too small for her. And then the zoo decided to add another elephant to the tiny space to create a "herd."
Shenyang Forest Wild Animal Zoo — China

Over the course of three months, 11 rare Siberian tigers died in this now closed zoo in northeastern China. A manager at the zoo said the tigers died of various diseases, but local authorities and wildlife officials believe they died from malnutrition. The tigers were apparently fed cheap chicken bones as food and were kept in very small cages. China has only about 50 tigers left in the wild, but there are about 5,000 kept in captivity.
Oradea Zoo — Romania

A pride of 13 lions was saved from the Oradea Zoo where they were living in small concrete enclosures, including a 15 foot-by-12 foot cage that was home to four adult lions. The zoo could no longer afford to keep them and they were due to be put down if a new home couldn't be found. Luckily the Yorkshire Wildlife Park's animal director visited the zoo and was moved to raise the money to relocate them to the United Kingdom.
Dhaka Zoo — Bangladesh

In 2009, the Dhaka Zoo in Bangladesh lost massive numbers of animals. As many as 21 rare animals died in one year and after the death of a giraffe in September 2009, the zoo curator and deputy curator were temporarily suspended and an investigation of the animals' deaths began. The zoo has more than 2,000 animals and some 150 species.
North Korea

Luckily Robert Mugabe's "Noah's Ark" of animals from Zimbabwe seems to have been stalled due to a storm of outrage by conservationists about the horrible zoo conditions in North Korea. This plan was reminiscent of the time when Mugabe sent two rhinos to North Korea in the 1980s, only for them to die a few months after being relocated. Wildlife experts said that it was unlikely that the animals, particularly the two baby elephants, would have survived the 7,000-mile flight, not to mention North Korea's cold temperatures and poor living conditions.

A team of computer scientists at Harvard University have developed a piece of software that allows anyone to 3D print their own action figures at home. Not only will the models carry the likeness of the character, they will also be fully articulated.
The software can take an animated 3D character and figure out where best to place its joints. In what is referred to as reverse rendering, the software first looks at an animated character's shape and movement and identifies the best joint points. It then adjusts the size of the different parts of the model so as to allow a real joint to work once printed. Optimizations are then carried out to produce a model as close as possible to the on-screen version, but at the same time workable as an actual real-world, articulated 3D model.
Once the shape of the model is set, the software adds a texture to also accurately model the skin of the character. Of course, you'll need a 3D printer in order to produce the finished model, but they are getting cheaper and more commonplace.
The creation of this software does throw up an issue, though. If anyone sitting at home with a 3D printer can analyze and print out their own Sonic or Mario, Nintendo and Sega aren't going to be too pleased. There's certainly a copyright problem down the road, and it's not one that can be easily solved even if copyright holders take a hard line against anyone uploading animated models of their characters for this software to use.
Harvard's plan is to commercialize the software. They feel it will be useful for animators who want to print out and experiment with a physical version of the characters they create. There's also a market for allowing anyone to create their own characters and have action figures printed and sent to them.
Clearly this software is a little ahead of its time in terms of home 3D printing. Right now you'd be able to create the models and basic joints to clip together yourself, but using metal joints and being able to apply a color coating to recreate the character perfectly are desirable. Maybe that will be possible a few 3D printer generations from now.

Nearby Attractions
Cotswold Way
Long distance footpath of approximately 100 miles that runs from Chipping Camden to Bath. As the path circles around Cheltenham its nearest point is just ¾ mile from our hotel.
The River Windrush runs through the middle of this large village – where a high street might normally be. The river is spanned by a number of small scale bridges which have given rise to its fanciful nickname of "the Venice of the Cotswolds". Many tourist attractions here including a Model Village, Motor Museum and Birdland.
Perhaps the most famous of all the Cotswold towns. Its main street is remarkably well preserved, and comparatively un-commercialised with most of the modern town tucked away out of sight! Broadway Tower stands on the edge of the Cotswolds Hills several hundred feet above the town and is an excellent viewpoint.
Cheltenham Festivals
Cheltenham Festival
The original Cheltenham Festival was the Horse Race Meeting in March which culminates in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, but now there are many festivals.
Cheltenham Jazz Festival
Cheltenham Jazz Festival is one of the UK's leading jazz festivals, and is part of Cheltenham Festivals' annual festival season, also including the Science, Music and Literature Festivals in Cheltenham Spa
Cheltenham Science Festival
How long is a piece of string? What makes the world turn? And why does chocolate taste so good? From the state of the planet, to the latest stem cell research, to the secrets of the perfect cup of tea – nothing is off limits at Cheltenham Science Festival. We'll be joined by some of the world's greatest scientists, big thinkers and comedy geniuses to help us answer some pretty big questions.

Welcome to POSSIBILITIES for Autism! I'm so glad you're here!
If you have a child who has been diagnosed with autism (or other emotional, behavioral, or learning conditions), I know you want the most for your child. Perhaps you dream that you child might some day
- reach his/her potential
- better communicate and relate with others
- feel better (overcome constipation, diarrhea, gas, ear infections, rashes, asthma, and allergies)
- enjoy a better quality of life
There is hope for all of the above through safe natural interventions such as diet that allow the body to heal and the inflammation that leads to behaviors to decrease. I've seen it with my own son and with others I've helped.

Gloria is alleged to have told Alexis's parents that the 8-hour-old baby needed to be checked over, before leaving the hospital with her. It is believed that Gloria had recently suffered a miscarriage.
In an interview on Good Morning America, Alexis told her side of the story.
'She loved me for 18 years, she cared about me for 18 years. I just want people to realise that.
'She made one mistake, but I was loved. From that one mistake I was given the best life.
'I had everything I ever needed, wanted, I had love especially. There is no price you can put on the love that was given to me.'
Speaking of her biological parents, who she has now met for the first time 18 years later, she says she wants to give them a chance.
'I feel like I do owe them that, to give them a chance, get to know them,' said Alexis.
'When you find out you got another family out there, it's just more love.'
Born 'Kamiyah Mobley', but having lived 18 years as 'Alexis Manigo' says she doesn't mind what name people use for her.
Alexis apparently discovered she was not Gloria's daughter when she asked where her birth certificate was when applying for a job.
Unable to avoid answering the question, she confessed to having taken Alexis from the hospital as a baby.
Despite everything, Alexis is determined to stand by Gloria.
'They want me to hate her, and it's not in me to,' she says.
'I will always love her.'

Best prices on baby cribs 2018 – Editior Choice!
So here is our list of the Top 10 prices on baby cribs
1. All American Made
By :- Third Man
In 2015, Margo Price was a country underdog just trying to keep enough gas in the tank to get to the next gig, but by the end of 2016, she was one of the genre's most celebrated new artists and a ubiquitous presence on late night television and at major festivals around the world.
Delivering on the promise of her debut and then some, the record nds Price planting her ag rmly in the soil as a songwriter who's here for the long haul, one with the chops to hang with the greats she so often nds herself sharing stages with these days.
A prolific writer with a knack for candid self-reflection, Price has never had to look too far for inspiration, and on 'All American Made,' she and her songwriting partner/ husband, Jeremy Ivey, continue to depict the trials of everyday life with un inching honesty, painting poetically plainspoken portraits of men and women just trying to get by.
Throughout the album, her contemporary take on classic sounds is at once familiar and daring, an infectious blend of Nashville country, Memphis soul, and Texas twang that tips its cap to everyone from Waylon and Willie (who makes a guest appearance) to Loretta and Dolly, all while flipping a middle finger to the cookie-cutter pop that dominates modern country radio.
Rich with swirling pedal steel, honky-tonk rhythms, and Price's stop-you-in-your-tracks vocals, 'All American Made' is deeply reverent of tradition even as it challenges conventions, a nuanced exploration of conflicted emotions for our deeply conflicted times.
2. Electrolyte Mix Super Hydration Formula + Trace Minerals | NEW!
THE HIGHEST QUALITY ELECTROLYTE HYDRATION FORMULA. Unlike many other supplements, Dr. Price's Electrolyte Mix has a blend of over 72 Trace Minerals and Electrolytes created to benefit people ranging from the elite athlete to your personal hydration needs.
By :- Dr. Price's Vitamins
A great tasting and convenient way of hydrating properly and naturally! Whether you are a beginner or elite athlete or just someone living in a hot and humid environment, proper hydration and electrolyte consumption is essential for health and performance.
If the body has a lack of hydration (water) WITH electrolytes (minerals like salt, potassium and calcium), it causes an imbalance and a loss of minerals that should flow through the joints; this can cause inflammation, pain and arthritis.

With the Social Bookmarking system, users can store lists of Internet resources that they find useful. These lists can be accessible to the public by users of a specific network or website. Not only can you save your favorite websites and send them to your friends, but you can also look at what other people have found interesting enough to tag. Most social bookmarking sites allow you to browse based on a certain category like shopping, technology, politics, blogging, news, sports, etc., and usually they allow you to vote on the submitted link , or story which will in term show the No of readers whom visit your site.
Social bookmarking and social news allow you to specifically target what you want to see. Instead of going into a search engine, typing something in, and then searching for that needle in a haystack, you can quickly narrow down the items to what you are looking for. It's pretty easy to tell that the article with a hundred votes might be your best choice. You no longer need to look through thousands of results to find your subject of interest. Now, you can simply go to a social bookmarking site, choose the category or tag that matches your interest, and find the most popular websites.
Most social bookmarking services allow users to search for bookmarks which are associated with given "tags", and rank the resources by the number of users which have bookmarked them. Its increasing popularity and competition have extended the services to offer more than just sharing bookmarks, such as commenting, and rating and the ability to import and export, add photo, reviews, story, email links. Creating groups with your own follower, send notification and also provide feed subscription.
Social Bookmarking can bring immediate traffic to your website, as web 2.0 community websites such as Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon & Delicious provide almost immediate information on various topics. These type of Bookmarking sites index and categorize content usually faster than the major search engines. People looking for the latest information on certain topics usually refer to these types of services. The benefit is two fold. They provide immediate traffic from like-minded targeted viewers but also powerful back links to your sites that bring positive SEO and Search Engine results.

|"Heung Bu," starring the late South Korean veteran actor Kim Joo-hyuk (left), opens in theaters in the Lunar New Year holiday season in early February.
By Ko Dong-hwan
Two movies starring a popular actor killed in a car accident in October will be released this year.
In February, period drama "Heung Bu," starring the late Kim Joo-hyuk, opens in South Korean theaters. The movie is based on popular Korean folklore novel "Heungbu and Nolbu," a story promoting virtue and reproaching vice. It features embittered younger brother Heungbu and greedy older brother Nolbu.
The film, set during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), follows a prodigal author named Heung Bu (played by Jung Woo) who writes a novel, "Heungbu and Nolbu." Kim plays Heungbu in the novel, a debonair man who pities people of low social class. Nolbu is an opportunist with a constant desire for money and power.
|Kim Joo-hyuk played the leader of a North Korean criminal ring in "Confidential Assignment" (2017).
Fans remember Kim in real life as not so different from Heungbu. In the KBS reality comedy show "2 Days & 1 Night", the actor was gentle, full of joy and caring.
"Kim's actual character has a large common denominator with his role in the movie, which will make the movie doubly reminiscent of him," a netizen said about the film that opens close to the Lunar New Year holiday season in early February.
|Kim Joo-hyuk at a script reading for "Drug War," a crime-action film that opens this year.
Kim, 45, died in October after his Mercedes SUV hit the rear of a Grandeur sedan, crashed into the wall of an I-Park apartment in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, rolled down steps to the apartment block and overturned. He was taken to Konkuk University Hospital but died.
Police said the National Forensic Service found no trace of alcohol or drugs in the veteran actor's body. The state crime lab said it found nothing other than a small amount of antihistamine in the toxicology test.
The investigation reaffirmed the preliminary conclusion that Kim died of a severe head injury inflicted in the accident.

This may be the only way out, as I don't believe Fiat will ever offer an upgraded modem that works on 3G/4G and ties it to service other than Sprint.
I ordered on with a 3 year contract. I'll post an update when I test it.
ShaunDanz (09-18-2019)
Any update on my500e dongle? I'm curious if $370 (minimum with 1 year data subscription) is worth it, that's a lot of money.
We just ordered one of these for our 500e. Looking forward to being able to pre-condition the cabin on hot and cold days.
2013 Fiat 500e
Update on the remote module and App.
Two weeks ago Vetterli company pushed OTA upgrade. It brought 12V battery voltage display, remote lock button and improved data transfer when 3G signal is weak.
IMG_5630.jpg IMG_5631.jpg IMG_5644.jpg
This app is worth the money. I also use it to control and check the charging level. I can control charging by means of setting timer remotely. I. e. if I want to start charging I set timer charging window so current time is within it, to stop I shorten Timer Off time.
Next update should bring possibility to set maximum charge SOC.

I think I'm going to have to get one of these. It'll allow for "Dog Mode" (Tesla's new feature) where you can keep the AC on while you're away from the car with the doors locked and not in the key cylinder.

An event praised for bringing together local opinion leaders, celebrities and other charitable-minded individuals to raise money for worthwhile philanthropic causes at Beijing's top restaurants, CFFC is an inspiring event that involves such a strong community of individuals that really rallies their friends and associates to make this one of the most respected and momentous events of the year.
If you are unfamiliar with CFFC, the concept is easy enough to digest:
Founded in 2009 with a mission of giving back to the Beijing community, Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) is a modern take on the standard concept of a large, gala charity dinner. CFFC invites some of Beijing's best-known personalities to host a table at Beijing's top restaurants. Tickets are available to the public with seats ranging from 600 RMB to 1,500 RMB per person. Following dinner, all dinner guests and supporters are invited to an incredible after-party where people mix and mingle and talk about the amazing dinners they just experienced. To date, Chi Fan for Charity has donated more than 3,700,000 RMB to local beneficiaries with 100% of table proceeds going directly to our designated charities.
As amazing as it is to eat for a good cause, let not forget about their killer after party, where everyone gathers together after their amazing dining experiences to one destination for live music, free-flow booze and the chance to catch up with Beijing's best dressed foodies!
CFFC 2015's Generous Sponsors:
Wine Republic (Wine)

I have personally been very proud to be a part of Chi Fan for Charity (CFFC) since it's very beginning in 2009 and it's been a privilege to see this event grow into Beijing's premiere charity dining event that's only getting better each and every year. It's astounding to watch this event raise the bar each year, with word-of-mouth going viral and seeing more and more people active and excited about such a worthwhile charity event.
A spectacular event that comes only once a year, it continues to rally hundreds of influential and engaged Beijingers together in an effort to wine, dine and party for good causes. Just remember, 100% of this money is donated to this year's two beneficiary organizations: Educating Girls of Rural China (EGRC) and Bethel China (see more info below!).
"This is an opportunity to learn how some incredible children from Bethel China are achieving their dreams in spite of their visual disabilities. This is a chance to hear the stories from some amazingly driven girls supported by EGRC, who are thriving at some of China's most prestigious Universities. This is where you get real stories from real people." – Sophie Van Pelt, Executive Director for CFFC
About Chi Fan for Charity's Beneficiaries 2015:
The fortunate recipients of the 2015 CFFC BJ funds are Educating Girls of Rural China and Bethel China. Two very worthy beneficiaries for this year's charity event, you can read more about the two organizations below to hear about how they are making a difference in China and what they will do upon receiving the funding they need to continue changing lives for both girls in rural China and visually impaired orphans throughout China.
Educating Girls of Rural China: Since its establishment in 2005, Educating Girls of Rural China (EGRC) has sponsored over 500 young women from poor rural regions of Western China to achieve high school and university education with 100% graduation rate. EGRC's motto is Educated Women Raise Educated Children. We believe educating women is the fundamental way to make a better family and society. EGRC is seeking funding to fund 20 girls' high school education in 2016. Each girl needs 5,000RMB per year to pay their tuition, accommodation, books and basic meals. All of the selected girls are from extremely difficult financial backgrounds and without financial support, they are not able to attend high school, or at risk of dropping out.
EGRC: Helping young women from rural areas of Western China to obtain an education
Bethel China: Bethel Foundation serves the blind and visually impaired orphaned population throughout China by providing a sustainable solution for each sponsored child. The foundation provides life-changing resources, which are not offered elsewhere in the country. Bethel Foundation will use the Chi Fan for Charity grant to help renovate a school facility that will provide training and schooling to both orphans who are blind/visually impaired and to children who come from families that are either blind/visually impaired. The training centre, which will be located in Dou Dian, Beijing, will have a direct impact on up to 35 children in its first year. This centre will also serve as a host for training and education seminars for the community.

Biogas energy systems have typically been considered a source of renewable electricity and/or combined heat and power, but several projects across the U.S. are demonstrating the suitability of biogas as a transportation fuel. Using biogas as a supply source of lower-carbon, domestic, renewable fuel is an exciting prospect, even in the face of abundant natural gas supplies and low prices.
Since biogas can be converted to a product that is very similar to natural gas, biogas offers an alternative transportation fuel for vehicles converted or designed to run on natural gas. Given the historically low price for natural gas, many truck and heavy duty vehicle fleets are switching from diesel to natural gas. The build-out of additional natural gas refueling infrastructure and fleet conversions could accelerate the development of biogas as a transportation fuel, which provides diversity to the overall fuel mix and offers greater levels of carbon reductions.
Biogas as a transportation fuel is also bolstered by the federal renewable fuel standard (RFS). This policy, passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2007, sets a national production goal of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022. Biogas is designated as an advanced biofuel under the law. The overall framework for the RFS provides more of a market pull for other renewable fuels like conventional and cellulosic ethanol, but the contribution that biogas can make in achieving the ambitious RFS targets should not be overlooked.
In 2011, the American Gas Foundation commissioned a study by the Gas Technology Institute to determine the total national potential for renewable natural gas. Renewable natural gas is the term of art for defining biogas, a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane, to an upgraded or cleaned form that is mostly methane or substantially similar to natural gas. My organization, the Great Plains Institute, used the analysis from the American Gas Foundation to calculate the potential number of renewable fuel gallons that could be produced from biogas. Under an aggressive scenario, if the U.S. successfully converted 40 to 75 percent of the available livestock, municipal solid waste (MSW), wood residue and agriculture residue feedstocks to renewable natural gas, as much as 29 billion equivalent gallons of renewable fuel could be supplied.
Obviously, this is an ambitious goal, and does not fully consider the economic or technical potential. However, the analysis demonstrates that biogas could supply a considerable amount of renewable fuel, while greatly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and should not be dismissed or overlooked.
The potential of biogas as a transportation fuel is already being demonstrated by projects across the country. Fair Oaks Dairy in Indiana is successfully displacing 1.5 million gallons of diesel fuel per year by collecting, cleaning and compressing biogas from a large herd of dairy cows. Biogas-based renewable fuel is used to run a fleet of milk delivery trucks and fuel for a public compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station.
In Ohio, Quasar Energy Group is working with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio and Kurtz Bros. Inc. to collect biogas from municipal wastewater biosolids and food/beverage waste fats, oils and greases to displace approximately 1.3 million gallons of diesel fuel per year. A CNG refueling station is available onsite and is also available to public.
Numerous municipal waste haulers are implementing projects to collect, clean and compress gas from landfills to provide renewable fuel for MSW vehicles. The possibilities are endless, and in addition to producing a lower-carbon source of fuel, materials that would otherwise be a strain on wastewater treatment facilities or livestock producers are transformed into a stable source of domestic, renewable fuel. Biogas is already contributing to the RFS and is positioned to make an even larger impact in the future.

Data Sovereignty in the Cloud
Data sovereignty. A decade ago, these two words together would have resulted in many blank stares in the majority of boardrooms. Today, speak these two words to Fortune 500 CIOs and CISOs, and they will most likely end up with their head in their hands. Data sovereignty is a critical emerging topic. It addresses the legal and regulatory jurisdictions governing particular digital information and how vendors, customers, and users can manage these overlapping jurisdictions.

The long walk...going to Lake Christabel Hut
I have been planning for some time to walk the St James Walkway in early March, unfortunately the weather did not "play ball". We had a "one in a hundred year" rain event in Canterbury and over the whole of the South Island. There was rainfall of 150mm in the foothills, snow and gale force winds. This has scuppered my plans to walk the track this year.
|Lake Christabel, Victoria Forest Park from the West end of the lake
As an alternate, I decided to walk the track into Lake Christabel in the Victoria
Forest Park on the West Coast. The track is 17kms from the start point at Palmers Flat, mostly lowlands but with several significant low ridges to cross en route.
Day One: From Palmer Farm to Lake Christabel Hut
I decided to walk to the hut following the Lake Christabel Track, from Palmer Flat to Lake Christabel Hut, posted as a 6-7 hour trip. In my case it turned into a 9 hour grovel as I had to negotiate windfall, slips and an really overgrown track.
|Lake Christabel car park near Palmer Flat Farm
|Palmer Flat to Lake Christabel Hut
Here is the start of the track, near Palmer Farm on the Palmer Rd, this is about 5 kms west of Springs Junction, and is reached down a 8 km gravel farm road. Plenty of space for parking near here. A lot of people who are walking the track camp overnight near the track. This allows for an early start the next morning, required as it will take most of the day to reach the hut.
|Start of Lake Christabel Track
|Lake Christabel Track: Palmer Flat Farm
This is prime cattle country, here is a shot of the river flats surrounding the car park.
|Lake Christabel Track: Bush edge travel
The track starts off next to the Blue Grey River, the very beginning of the track meanders through open forest with the river close to the track.You cross a couple of low ridges before moving up river on an old terrace.
|Lake Christabel Track: Heading towards the Blue-Grey River
There are a number of small clearings as you move along, with some impressive Red Beech trees in the lowland forest typical of the area. The vegetation is thick in places, reflecting the much higher rainfall on this side of the Southern Alps.
|Blue Grey River from the Lake Christabel Track
Here is a view of the Blue Grey from one of the low ridges you cross as you follow the track. Although mostly flat there is the occasional up and down as you follow the contours of the land.
|Lake Christabel Track: Mature beech trees
This is typical of the forest you are travelling through, open beech forest or dense two story bush in areas where the sun reaches.
|Typical dense West Coast bush Lake Christabel Track
Some areas of the track are a little over grown, you need to keep your wits about you so that you don't lose the track.
|Mid reaches of the Blue Grey River
Another view of the Blue Grey River from one of the low ridges you need to cross. The track at this point would be 2 hours in, and sidles above one of several gorges cut by the river in times past.
|Flood debris in the Blue Grey River
Above is the confluence point for the Blue Grey and an unnamed creek, about 2.5 hours in.
|Upper reaches of the Blue Grey, 2.5 hours up track
This point is about another 10 minutes along from the spot above. This could be a very nice camping spot as there are a couple of great looking swimming holes here and plenty of flat ground for
a tent or tarp.
|New Zealand Robin
My first interaction with a Robin on this trip, he/she came and sat next to me for 20 minutes as I was eating my lunch.
|Lake Christabel Track: Start of climb to the Lake
This is the last flat area before you start climbing the slip which blocked the valley and formed the Lake. This is where I stopped for lunch both days as it was a great sunny spot close to the water. Probably not a good spot for a camp as the only flat area appears to be prone to river flooding.
|Map showing the outlet for Lake Christabel
|Confluence of the Blue Grey and unnamed stream, track heads uphill from here
The track climbs away from the river starting from this point, the track is in the middle of the photo heading to the right. You can just see the orange triangle on the other side.
I could see problems here if it started to rain as you would not be able to ford the side creek coming in from the left. This would be one of only two points where you might have to turn around if the weather gods decided to play some tricks.

|Climbing to Lake Christabel
Typical view of the track through this area, it is quite steep, very green and slippery from the mossy rocks.
|Lake Christabel Track: track in an old stream bed
About an hour from the confluence you strike an upland alpine swamp and then follow a poled track up a stream bed for a distance.
|Apex of the debris slide on the Lake Christabel Track
This is the saddle at the top of the slip, it would be possible to camp in this area, there are small streams about 50-100 metres downhill either side of this point. The lake is 400 metres east of this high point, all downhill.
|Descending to Lake Christabel
You cant really tell but the lake is down there about another 100 metres along the track, it had taken me 5 hours to reach this point.
|Lake Christabel from near the outlet
There is a small beach as you descend down to the lake, with excellent views up valley. The hut is off to the centre right of this photo, it takes about 2-3 hours to walk around the lake, then another 30 minutes through forest to the hut.
|Mt Boscawen from Lake Christabel
|Lake Christabel: View to south of enclosing ridge
The underground outlet for Lake Christabel is close to the island in the middle of this photo. An ancient rock slip fell and filled the bottom of this valley, blocking the course of the river. Lake Christabel is the result of this slip and the subsequent inflow of water. The lake has forged an underground outlet for the water, this is the source of the Blue Grey River.
|A cove on Lake Christabel shoreline
This is one of the bays of the lake, this is an hour from the beach in the photo above. In all it takes from 2-3 hours just to make your way around the shore of the lake. The track through this section was very difficult, with a lot of wind fallen trees, slips and very slippery conditions. Care is required as a fall from the track along here will leave you floating (hopefully..... you might just sink) in the lake and unable to get out. The water is cold, the sides are steep cliffs and it is very very deep!
|View west from half way around Lake Christabel
Eventually you reach some small beaches at the eastern end of the lake, this is the view looking back towards the west. There are only 2-3 possible spots to camp along the lake side as the terrain is steep, with thick bush growing along side it. Once you start along the track you are committed to walking to this end of the lake. There are no decent spots to pitch a tent or tarp.
|Lake Christabel: looking back towards the outlet
Another view back towards the West.
|Lake Christabel Track: not a lot of space
This is the condition of the track for most of the way along the lake, this area is one of the few relatively open areas.
|Finally at the head of Lake Christabel
Here is a shot from the flats at the end of the lake, there is plenty of space around there to camp. I stopped for what I thought was a well deserved rest after 8 hours walking.
|Crossing the flats at the head of Lake Christabel
The rest of the track is along the flats next to a no name river, the hut is approximately 30 minutes up river from the lake. When you finally reach the hut, you will find a suspension bridge 100 metres up river, this allows you to cross the river safely. I just about forded the river, then thought "I'm going to look a bit stupid if I drown here when I could walk another 20 metres and cross a bridge".
Surprisingly this river has no official name, I suppose you would call it the Blue Grey East branch? It's a surprise because it is actually quite a wide, deep river.

|Lake Christabel Hut (1970?)
Above is your first view of Lake Christabel Hut as you come out of the bush on the true left of the river, it is an older style 8 bunk hut, with an excellent burner installed. There is plenty of firewood in the immediate area but no wood shed.Water comes from the stream right in front of the hut.
|Jon inside Lake Christabel Hut
Jon in the hut, do I look tired? I felt totally shattered!
The hut is well maintained, it gets a lot of use, there were 15 entries in the hut book from people who visited the hut over the previous month. As you can see the interior is in a good condition.

|Lake Christabel Hut interior: bunks and cooking bench
I was in the hut by myself again, in fact I didn't see another person on either of the days I was out. I had my PLB with me so that gave me a small measure of safety.
|Lake Christabel Hut: second smaller cooking bench
Time for a brew and some kai!
|Lake Christabel Hut, Victoria Forest Park
Here is another shot of the exterior of the hut, it was warm even without the fire (I lit it later for a bit of ambiance) but I imagine it could be cold in the area in the dead of winter.
|Swing-bridge over stream next to Lake Christabel Hut
I only had about an hour of daylight left when I reached the hut, so I gathered some wood, had a couple of brews and cooked my dinner for the night: Macaroni cheese with sausage. Then it was to bed to read for awhile before a well deserved sleep.
Day Two: Lake Christabel Hut to Palmer Flat
I had a mostly restful night apart from the resident possum trying to get into the hut at 2 am. I think he was a bit pissed he couldn't stay for the night as well because he howled and snarled outside for nearly an hour.
I was up and getting ready at 6 am so I could start the marathon walk back to the car.

|Morning Day two, leaving Lake Christabel Hut
Here I am outside the hut, it is in a nice location, with the river only 20 metres away.
|View up the no-name stream near Lake Christabel Hut
Here is a shot looking up no name stream taken from the bridge on the Friday morning.It feels really remote up this valley, as if you are the only human in existence.
If you follow the track to the rear of the hut you will eventually reach Robinson Saddle and the huts in the Robinson Valley. Judging from the hut book, it is a popular trip, I have spoken to a couple in Nina Hut who said the track is quite overgrown and really rugged.

This might possibly be a trip for the future.
|Lake Christabel Hut from right bank of stream
Above is a view of Lake Christabel Hut from the true right of the river on my way home, it is in a very good location: sunny, protected from the wind, high above the river. Those old NZFS rangers knew how to build a hut.
Here is a view from the flats at the head of the lake, the track climbs over the slip which has the sun just rising over it. It would be 4-5 km's from this point to the western end of the lake.
|Lake Christabel Track: Crossing the now dry stream mouth
The other potential spot you could come unstuck is in this area above. There is a side stream running along the edge of the bush to the right of the photo. On the Thursday the water was knee deep, though slow moving. It had completely dried out by the Friday morning. This makes me think it is prone to flooding with a bit of rain. Worth considering!
|Lake Christabel looking towards mouth of lake
My last view of the lake from the eastern end of Lake Christabel, before plunging into the track. It is a very scenic lake.
|Hey Buddy...a native Fantail
I had a lot of company from Wrens, Fantails and Robins- I had 5 Fantails following me at one time. The birds follow you along the track catching the bugs that you kick up as you walk.
|Back near the Blue Grey River: Brewing up!
Here is my lunch spot; pate, crackers and a brew did wonders to revive me. It was quite pleasant sitting here for 45mins eating and generally having a rest in the sun.
No sand flies, they must have died off due to the unusually cold weather. For those of you who are not from New Zealand sand flies are small biting flies. They attack you in swarms looking for a blood meal: you are the main course! They are the bane of tramping in New Zealand as you find them from sea level right up to 2000 metres.

|Lot's of flood debris over there...!
Another view of the Blue-Grey River from my lunch spot, beautiful clear water in this area.
|The Lake Christabel Track...is there somewhere...???
Right children, lets play a game!
Now, you would have heard of "Where's Wally", this is the Lake Christabel version, "Where's Track". It's out there, you just have to find it hidden in the under growth!
|Lake Christabel Track: camp-site 1.5 hours up valley
There is a very nice camping spot about 1.5 hours from the track end; it is flat, and right next to the river. It obviously gets a bit of use because there is a fire pit, stacked firewood and has marked tent sites. It looks like a great spot to pitch your tent, I could be tempted!
|Back at Palmer Flat
L' Fin, once again. I was VERY pleased to finally reach the car.
This was a long and hard trip, but the valley is remote feeling and beautiful. I would suggest that anyone who wanted to visit the hut plan to stay for at least 2 nights to allow you to enjoy exploring the upper valley. Take a day walk up to Robinson Saddle...
|Route to Lake Christabel Track from Springs Junction
The hut and lake can also be accessed via the Rough Creek route (from SH7 i.e. the Lewis Pass Highway) then over the top of the surrounding mountains. There is also the Robinson Valley/Robinson Saddle route. I would like to come back here and go by one of those other routes, then out to Palmer Farm.
Access: From Springs Junction turn left onto SH7 to Reefton, turn off 3 km's later onto Palmer Road the track start is 8 km's along on the left hand side.
Track Times: From Palmer Flat- 1.5 hours to camp-site, 7-9 hours to Lake Christabel Hut: 6-8 hours via Rough Creek Route, 2 days from the Robinson Valley.
Hut Details: Lake Christabel Hut: standard, 8 bunks, wood burner, water from stream, toilet
Miscellaneous: Long, rough track to hut, two stream crossings these will flood in heavy rain

Popular Les Paul Google Doodle Lives Another Day
Get ready for your productivity to be zapped again today. Google's popular Les Paul homepage doodle will remain on Google.com in the U.S. for another day.
"Due to popular demand, we're leaving the Les Paul doodle up in the U.S. for an extra day. Thanks for jamming with us!" Google tweeted early this morning.
The doodle, in honor of musician and electric guitar pioneer Les Paul, featured the strings of a guitar in the shape of the Google logo. That logo, however, was actually playablestrum it with your mouse and it played a song. In the U.S., meanwhile, users could record a 30-second snippet of their creations and share with friends.
Here in the PCMag offices, the newsroom was filled with the sounds of amateur musicians crafting their own masterpieces all day. We eventually asked Chris Phillips, PCMag's creative director and an actual musician, to play us a real song and he mapped out directions for using the doodle to play the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun."
The doodle honored what would have been the 96th birthday of Paul, who died in 2009. Google said it was inspired to include the record button because Paul, in addition to his guitar work, also "experimented in his garage with innovative recording techniques like multitracking and tape delay," Alexander Chen, a designer (and musician) with Google's Creative Lab, wrote in a blog post.
"The electric guitar brings back memories for me of exchanging riffs with friends and wearing out cassette tapes as I meticulously learned songs," Chen wrote.
Google has had a number of innovative doodles on its homepage lately, but none of have been quite as addictive or mesmerizing as the Les Paul one, except perhaps for Pac-Man. In May 2010, Google posted playable Pac-Man doodle, which collectively consumed about 4.8 million hours of players' time, according to a report.
Pac-Man proved so popular that Google made it into a standalone site at www.google.com/pacman. It did the same thing with the undersea Jules Verne doodle. No word yet if the Les Paul doodle will get the same treatment; Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hear any creative songs created by Google users? Let us know in the comments.
In recent months, Google.com has featured 16 homepage doodles in honor of what would have been the 76th birthday of children's author Roger Hargreaves, who wrote the Mr. Men and Little Miss series, as well as one that honored dancer/choreographer Martha Graham.
In March, it was revealed that Google obtained a patent for its popular homepage doodles, covering "systems and methods for enticing users to access a Web site."
California second grader Matteo Lopez was selected as the winner of this year's Doodle 4 Google competition. His space-themed doodle was featured on the Google homepage on May 20, and he took home a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for his school.

I wasn't joking when I said I was wearing a ton of stuff from the Men's department- WHY would I pass up this sweatshirt?! I'd be a crazy person if my new utilitarian-slouchy dressing didn't include a little bit of pizzaz. Can a varmint on a sweatshirt really be considered pizzaz? Whatever, I'mma roll with it.
What a nice week it's been so far! The calm before the storm of tomorrow's Thanksgiving celebration with our buddies has been a series of puttering to the store for small forgotten food items, hunting for more forks (because nobody wants to eat turkey with chopsticks), and extra tummy time to encourage scooting. Anytime I try to put Violet's little knees tucked under her hips, she stiffens into a plank and I end up wheel-barrow lifting her legs. It cracks me up everytime! I know she'll figure out the physics in her own time, but the fun of doing my best to help her out only to have it hilariously backfire is filling my days with a lot of laughs.

Astronomers say they've demonstrated how stars can form on the treacherous edge of a supermassive black hole. When a cloud of gas swirls towards a black hole, they say, a combination of complex forces push some parts of the cloud into a disk that orbits the black hole at a safe distance, allowing stars to be born in the gas. The researchers
developed a simulation that demonstrates how clouds of gas can be captured by massive black holes to form eccentric disks, which then fragment to become a necklace of massive stars.... Their findings are in accordance with actual observations in our Milky Way galaxy that indicate the presence of a massive black hole, surrounded by an elliptical necklace of massive stars [Telegraph].
The edge of a supermassive black hole doesn't sound like a promising environment for a star nursery; black holes, which are usually the remains of collapsed stars, are so dense that their gravity drags in anything that crosses the "event horizon." Says astronomer Ian Bonnell:
"The high tidal shear from the black hole should tear apart the molecular clouds that form stars" [National Geographic].
In the simulation, much of the gas cloud is torn apart, but shock waves and other turbulence sucks some of the gas into a spiral,
causing it to take up orbit around the black hole and giving time for stars to form [Scientific American].
While researchers say that the simulation produced a plausible scenario, there's only indirect evidence that this star formation process is indeed playing out around black holes throughout the universe. The simulation, published in the journal Science [subscription required],
showed that the stars that formed were very massive. This result reflects what astronomers see close to the galactic centre, where there seem to be very few lightweight stars [New Scientist].
DISCOVER recently published breathtaking images of the turbulent gases involved in star formation with its photo gallery, "Turbulence: How to Visualize the Invisible."
