Three-year project will see the upgrade of 1,539 rooms and suites as well as restaurants and bars
Dubai's Atlantis The Palm will undergo a $100m programme to refurbish the resort's 1,539 rooms and suites.
Starting on 4 July 2017, the iconic five-star destination resort will embark on a three-year programme that will see 50 rooms and suites refurbished every six weeks. Completion for the mammoth task is benchmarked for 2019, just in time for Dubai Expo 2020.
The contract for interior design of the guestrooms was awarded to UAE-based interior design studio WA International. The make-over will see the installation of contemporary carpet designs reminiscent of the turquoise and azure seas, with shades of coral bursting through the newly enhanced guestrooms, according to the hotel.
Each room will also be fitted with 49-inch flat screen televisions, proximity reader key systems and many more convenient features.
The refurbishment will also extend to balcony areas as well as bathrooms, which will include Greek Didyma marble basins and free standing bathtubs.
The hotel's all-day dining restaurant Kaleidoscope is also currently under renovation, and will see a new dynamic introduced when it re-opens in September 2017. Further projects planned are the re-design of Ayamna Bar, Nasimi Beach and The Imperial Club.
Atlantis The Palm recorded occupancy levels of 93% on average during the first five months of this year, an 11% increase year on year.
Serge Zaalof, chief operating officer at Atlantis Resorts & Residences, said the figures were boosted by its competitive room rates and an increase in guests from Russia, China, India and European countries such as France and Germany.
"We had very strong five months that significantly exceeded our expectations" said Zaalof.
"April was our strongest month to date since the opening. Such a positive start to 2017 is encouraging and with our continued efforts to enhance the guest experience we are confident that the rest of the year will be successful.
"Our aim is to constantly innovate with the new room offering as well as the re-design of restaurants and bars we will wow our guests and exceed expectations."For all the latest travel news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Latest Prevention & Wellness News
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 28 (HealthDay News) -- A 50-cent increase in the U.S. tax on cigarettes could have a big impact on public health, though the benefits for the national wallet are less clear, new estimates from the U.S. Congressional Budget Office show.
Reporting in the Nov. 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that such a steep hike in the federal cigarette tax could result in more than 3 million more nonsmokers by 2085 -- by either spurring people to quit or keeping would-be smokers from ever lighting up.
And that 3 million includes roughly 200,000 people who would have otherwise died before that year, according to the CBO, which does independent analyses of budget issues for Congress.
A number of studies have already shown correlations between tobacco prices and people's propensity to smoke: The more it costs, the less likely people are to start the unhealthy habit.
The CBO used that research to estimate how a federal tax hike of 50 cents per pack -- up from the current $1.01 -- could affect people's health and longevity.
"There's no question it would be effective, and this report makes that point," said Dr. Michael Siegel, a professor of community health sciences at Boston University School of Public Health who studies tobacco control policies.
Cigarette taxes "are, in fact, so effective that people will live longer," Siegel said.
Where the effects are more muddied is in the federal budget. In the short term, the CBO said, the drop in the number of smokers would mean lower health care costs. The federal government would pay out $730 million less between 2013 and 2021.
Longer out, though -- up to 2085, the last year studied -- federal spending would be higher than it otherwise would be: All those extra people living into old age would mean bigger outlays for Social Security and Medicare.
Still, in the end, there could be a small economic benefit, the CBO estimated. When the office factored in the revenues from the cigarette tax, there was a small projected reduction in the federal deficit -- on the order of 0.023 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2035.
To put that dip into perspective, the CBO estimates that the deficit will exceed 7 percent of GDP in 2035.
Of course, the CBO report added, "consequences for the federal budget are only one factor that lawmakers may consider when developing policies to promote health."
Siegel was more blunt. He said it would be "perverse" to worry about how extending more lives would affect the federal bottom line. "The idea that we should base health policy on this is completely inappropriate," he said.
Siegel didn't challenge the CBO's work, but was against the notion of policymakers using the figures to make a decision on cigarette tax hikes. Anything that helps more Americans live to a ripe old age will mean more spending on Social Security and other programs for seniors, he noted.
"If we go by that, it would argue against doing any health intervention that extends people's lives past age 65," Siegel said.
Right now, the U.S. government spends about $1 trillion a year on health care, according to the CBO. If there were a 50 cent increase in the cigarette tax starting next year, federal spending would dip in the first decade, mostly through lower costs to Medicaid (the health insurance program for the poor) and Medicare, the CBO reported.
The government would also take in more than $40 billion in revenue through 2021, from the cigarette tax itself and from healthier people who were staying in the workforce longer, they noted.
To Siegel, the real issue is what to do with any money generated from a hike in the cigarette tax.
"I've argued for a long time that those revenues should go to anti-smoking campaigns and treating smoking-related diseases," Siegel said.
But the most recent hike in the federal tobacco tax went toward expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Siegel called that "inappropriate," saying the program's solvency should not depend on Americans' continued smoking addiction.
All U.S. states also have their own cigarette tax, and that money goes to any number of projects, from building roads to funding education.

What is the best time of year to tactfully intervene in the man-in-your-life's grooming habits? The holidays! Tuck a face scrub or a new mouthwash in your boyfriend or husband's Christmas stocking, and you're not telling him anything pointed besides merry, merry! With any luck, he'll start 2019 smelling better, with better skin, better hygiene—and no bruised feelings.
Also, there are certain things that a man just won't buy himself. For many of us (including me, until recently), if it wasn't next to the Gillette razors at CVS, it would never reach the medicine cabinet. This is the moment to fix that problem—not with esoteric multipart skin systems, but with a few upgraded basic grooming gifts. Here are several he will thank you for.

Changes to free Tahoe ski shuttle likely if it returns
TAHOE CITY, Calif. — While the free North Tahoe-Truckee Coordinated Ski Shuttle's future is uncertain, service changes are being considered if it returns next winter.
In its pilot year last winter, the 44-day, five-bus operation saw lower-than-expected ridership (3,206 passengers) and a high average per-person operating cost ($48.18).
It cost $238,127 to operate, with $165,349 going to service operator Amador Stage Lines, based in Reno.
Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski resorts spent $169,000 to finance the service, along with project partners North Lake Tahoe Resort Association ($65,900), Homewood Mountain Resort ($5,700) and town of Truckee ($5,000). Those groups will be the ones to determine the shuttle's future.
Excess funding of $7,473 could be used as seed money for next year's service, if it continues.
"We are committed to supporting regional transit, and we believe that continuing the interim (program) in the next year is the right thing to do," said Mike Livak, Squaw Valley executive vice president, at last Thursday's Transportation Management Association meeting.
During the meeting, Gordon Shaw, principal of LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc., presented the following potential changes::
Ending the service about two weeks earlier — March 16 vs. March 31 — due to ridership falling substantially after mid-March last winter.
Adding a second full week of service during spring break due to that time period having increased ridership.
Decreasing the fleet to either four, three or two buses, thereby decreasing overall cost to $224,800, $184,850 and $146,900, respectively.
Contracting with a local operator to decrease expenses, since it would be based on hours of service, rather than a daily vehicle charge.
Using public funding to purchase a transit fleet to make the service more cost effective.
A final decision regarding the shuttle's future is expected no later than October, said TMA Executive Director Jaime Wright.

They take just a few minutes to make and will have your guests begging for the recipe!
Preheat the broiler & move the rack one notch above middle. Then, slice peppers in half and remove any seeds.
Using a butter knife, fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese.
Sprinkle with cajun seasoning and/or red peppers.
Wrap each pepper with a slice of bacon and use a toothpick to secure it. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Tip: For healthier appetizers, briefly pan fry or microwave the bacon first (leaving it soft, so its still pliable), then gently blot between paper towels. This will help remove some excess fat before broiling.
Broil until the bacon becomes crisp, 10-12 minutes per side.
Serve warm – and enjoy! 🙂

I'm sitting in the International wing of the Vancouver Airport. There's a little oasis here, with a stream, grasses growing along the edges, a footbridge from which small children can throw coins, a giant salt-water aquarium, and comfy chairs all around.
I have quite a nasty head cold and am grateful for the sinus-clearing drugs that allowed me to stave it off long enough on Saturday that I had a fantastic show, and that allowed me to land in Vancouver this morning with trepidation but no pain.
I am off to meet my parents in Oslo. It will take all day today and a good chunk of tomorrow to get there. I'll be gone for 10 days. I'm excited, but melancholy all at once. Yesterday as I was packing Jade's lunch, I was getting teary thinking about leaving my girls for so long. And I very nearly cried when my plane took off this morning. I am a suck.
I know Michael is perfectly capable, and yet I feel bad to leave him to parent both girls and try to get his work done. (Although I do the same thing. But my work doesn't pay the bills. It just barely pays for itself. Yet.)
I just had a Skype talk with Michael and Halia, so I feel a bit better.
My Oma will be in Oslo, too. I haven't seen her in a couple of years and I'm really looking forward to giving her a great big hug. I wish I'd thought to ask the girls to make a card for her before I left home.
This is my life today. Chaotic, disorganized, and exciting.
And my kids will be fine.

1912 Is A Great Year For Shaving!
I think it's safe to say that shave soap is now a general term. It's a general term not because I think shave soap is trivial when you look at wet shaving as a whole. It's a general term because there are several categories of shave soap to choose from. There is shave soap with or without tallow, Organic/non Organic shave soap or Natural and commercial shave soap. These are just a few categories you can choose from. Whatever list or category you decide to choose your going to find soap that you love and of course love less. The anticipation of whether or not the next selection of soap you make will be the perfect shave is part of the big adventure in shaving. Am I a soap addict? You better believe it, I'm also a Lather Junkie through and through. A good soap with a good lather can and will make my day even brighter than it already is.
You have to have a hobby or an obsession and I think my love of soap, lather and everything shaving related walks the fine line in between the two. I have lots of soaps, creams, oils and aftershaves in my collection and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. I'm always looking for that perfect shave and all of its glory. Having said that I will also say that what is a perfect shave to me, may not be to you because the art of wet shaving or shaving in general is mostly made up of opinion and choices. There are components in shaving that are fact. A safety razor will always be a safety razor and soap will always be soap and so on. The rest is all opinion and choices. You have basic guidelines to follow but all else is gray area. That's one of the reasons why I love wet shaving so much, it's all about my choices and what I like to shave with. My product reviews are my passion for shaving poured out to share with other shavers and spreading the word of all the great products to choose from.
There is a group of soaps that I have been following through social media that I've been wanting to try. I see a lot of reviews, likes, favorites and mentions revolving around these products and after doing research on these soaps I've decided that my wishing I could try them has turned into I have to try them. Wickham Soap Co. is one of those soaps that has been on this list for a while and I finally had the chance to try the Cashmere and Parma Violet shave soap from his 1912 line and once I tried it two things happened right away. My passion and adventure for shave soap grew even stronger and my love for Wickham Soaps was born. Will you feel this strongly about his soap once you try it? Maybe or maybe not but I can guarantee you will love trying it to find out for your self!
I was very excited to pull in my driveway and see my package of Wickham Soaps sitting there. It's just like Christmas day for this bald guy. I opened the package to see if my new soap had arrived unharmed and to curve my excitement until it was time for my nightly shave which at that point couldn't come any sooner. I received a large tub weighing in at 140 g/4.93 oz. of the Cashmere and Parma Violet shave soap. Both tubs are white and made out of a heavy plastic that feels very substantial in your hands. The company logo and graphics are located on the top of the lid on a sticker that is almost as big in diameter as the lid itself. I want to point something out, The sticker is water resistant so when you get the tub saturated with water the label doesn't smear. This may seem like a small detail to some but to me it says that Wickham loves his products so much that he pays special attention to even the minor details.
When examining the white plastic tub the soap comes packaged in, what I like most about it is its very simple yet elegant and classy. The company brand and logo with graphics is only located on the top of the lid. The whole container isn't busy with lots of graphics or colors to make It hard to look at. You should never judge a product solely by the packaging but if you buy a product that is really busy it may stop you from making future purchases. That's strictly my own opinion. After the quick examination of the packaging was over with it was time to get to what I was interested in the most which was the soap located inside of the plastic tub. The soap is a harder consistency soap so I decided to use my favorite hard bristled brush for my first shave with the Wickham Soaps. The first night I tried the Cashmere and the second night the Parma Violet.
The two soaps performed in the same manner. I used my hard bristled shave brush for both shaves. I soaked the bristles for 15 minutes to open them up and get ready to fill with lather. After rotating my brush in a circular motion for two minutes the pre-shave lather that formed in the beginning turned into a thick and creamy shave ready lather filling the bristles of my brush ready for application to the skin on my dome and face. The large tub both soaps came in left plenty of room for building lather, no bowl needed. The robust lather spread evenly across my dome and face providing an increased slickness and a generous cushion that enabled my razor in providing nice fluid strokes. The head and face shave with the Cashmere and Parma Violet shave soap was pleasurable and very comfortable at the same time. The two soaps both complimented the pre-shave oil I used decreasing the risk of irritation, razor burn, cuts and nicks. The post shave feel was fantastic and left my skin feeling soft, smooth and supple with an above average slickness. The post shave feel was and still is one of my favorites. I was very satisfied with the Wickham Soaps and I'm positive you would be as well.
The Parma Violet and Cashmere shave soap from Wickham Soap also contain a lot of the same natural ingredients such as Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, White Kaolin, Allantoin and Glycerine.
These ingredients can act as a natural moisturizer preventing skin dryness and peeling helping to heal dry and cracked feet, fights the signs of aging through better collagen production, increases the skins hydration level, soothes burns, rashes and skin irritations, helps with wound healing, helps fight acne, psoriasis and eczema, fights fungi and infections, acts as a natural sunscreen and also soothes sunburn, helps tone and nourish the skin. These natural ingredients have a lot of skin care benefits that also will increase the quality of your shaving routine through moisturization, increased suppleness and elasticity of your skin. Just another reason why the Parma Violet and Cashmere shave soap from Wickham Soaps are a perfect match to fit your shaving routine.
The big difference is the aromas that each soap produces. The Parma Violet has notes of Dry Wood, Heliotrope, Rose, Jasmine, Lily of the valley and Hyacinth. Compared to the Cashmere with notes of Oak Moss, White Patchouli, Bergamot and Basil Leaf. Both soaps had an outstanding aroma that was pretty strong yet not overwhelming and still had a small presence throughout the rest of the night.
What are my final thoughts on the shave soap from Wickham Soap co.? A passionate shave for passionate soap lovers. The Cashmere and Parma Violet shave soap from Wickham Soap co. provides an abundance of thick and robust lather that has a lot of cushion and a fantastic post shave end feel that could easily turn into your favorite from now on. The rich and creamy lather applies evenly across the skin on your dome and face enabling your razor to provide small fluid strokes decreasing the risk of irritation, razor burn, cuts and nicks. The aroma of both soaps is strong but not overwhelming leaving behind a small presence through out the night. The natural ingredients found in both shave soaps have a lot of skin care and shaving routine benefits that make it very hard not to try these soaps. The Parma Violet and Cashmere shave soap from Wickham Soap co. is approved by TheBaldNation for our Bald Nation. Love your products and you will love the results. Thank you and have a #Baldtastic day!

1 Percent of Web Deemed Pornographic (Source)
"Nov 14, 6:45 PM (ET)
By MARYCLAIRE DALE
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – About 1 percent of Web sites indexed by Google and Microsoft are sexually explicit, according to a U.S. government-commissioned study.
As of this writing, Google states that they are indexing 4,285,199,774 distinct web pages. But not every page is indexed by the Google search engine, and web sites are made up of multiple pages. (Source)"
That is Billion with a B web pages and 1% is 4 million web pages of junk, wow, so in my rough math that leaves 11 million pages to get through PER day that have smut.
4,285,199,774 / 365 = 11,740,273.4 = 11 + million pages to go through per day
11,740,273.4 / 24 = 489,178,058 = 400 K+ pages to go through per hour, you get the idea, there is a ton of this junk on line and we are all at risk because of it.
How sad it that, the Internet can be such a great source of information and usefulness or a cesspool or information, depending on how we use it. 1% is bad enough; imagine what will happen when the market gets saturated ………………

RCF sponsored UWA Business School wins sustainability and value creating competition at PDAC
For the second year in a row, the RCF sponsored University of Western Australia ("UWA") Business School has won the Schulich International Case Competition at the Prospectors & Development Association of Canada ("PDAC") convention in Toronto.
The competition requires University and Mining School teams from around the world to submit an essay in response to an industry related question. The top 20 teams travel to Toronto to present their reasoning to a panel of industry judges before the top four teams compete in front of a larger audience at PDAC convention.
In this years' essay question, competitors were required to identify, 'What are the most important factors contributing to sustainable strategies for mining companies?'
RCF Managing Partner, James McClements, said that the competition was a valuable way to explore how young people entering the mining industry can create value by prioritizing mining project investment and in the process create sustainable strategies.
"RCF is very proud of the UWA Business School team, who as the next generation of mining industry professionals are making valuable contributions to mining investment and sustainable strategies," said Mr McClements.
"The competition explores the concept of strategic investment and that mining projects, particularly in today's challenging metal price environment, face difficult decisions about how to allocate capital to a wide range of initiatives to ensure their sustainability today and well into the future."
"Sustainable strategies include all aspects of a business from sound environmental management practices through to prudent financing strategies. Sustainable companies do not view any one of these decisions in isolation. Good companies make good decisions across all aspects of their business."
UWA Business School's 2016 team was called 'Team Manganese' and comprised Matthew Horgan (Team Captain), Timothy Andrews, Jessica Volich and Jessica Harman. First prize was C$10,000 and it was the business school's second consecutive win and in 2014, their first year of entry, they were runner-up. The RCF sponsorship included travel and accommodation for the competitors to Toronto from Perth, Australia.

On Thursday, 26th June 1924 the following report appeared in The Scotsman. It gives details of James Archibald's education and subsequent career:
Mr James Archibald, MA, F.R.S.E., until recently headmaster of Dalry School, Edinburgh, has been made the recipient of gifts from the pupils and staff of the school, and from associates during his career as a teacher Mr Herbert, acting head master, made the presentation. Mr Archibald had a serious breakdown in health during the winter, and this has necessitated his giving up active service. Beginning as a pupil-teacher in Stockbridge School, Edinburgh, he entered the Training College and Edinburgh University, where he had a distinguished career. Having served in various schools as assistant and first assistant, he was appointed headmaster, of St Bernard's School in 1905, where he remained till 1918, when he was promoted to the headmastership of Dalry School. For many years Mr Archibald was an active and enthusiastic member of the Mathematical Society. He had 47 years' service as a teacher, first under the Edinburgh School Board; and later under the Education Authority.
He joined the Edinburgh Mathematical Society in December 1889. He was Treasurer of the Society during 1899-1905, then President for session 1906-07. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 24 June 1907. He was proposed for the fellowship by John Alison, Alexander Morgan, George Alexander Gibson, and William Peddie.
Archibald's death was reported in The Scotsman on Tuesday, 17th November 1925:
The death occurred yesterday morning, at his residence, 31 Leamington Terrace, Edinburgh, of Mr James Archibald F.R.S.E., formerly headmaster of Dalry Road Public School. Mr Archibald retired a year and a half ago, after spending 45 years as a teacher in Edinburgh. He was keenly interested in mathematics, and for many years acted as treasurer of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, of which Society he was an ex-president. He was an enthusiastic worker in Roseburn United Free Church, which he acted as session clerk, He was also an examiner under the United Free Church Bursary Committee. Only last month he returned from a six months' visit to Canada and the United States of America.

Washington DC [USA], April 5 (ANI): A team of the United States Federal agents on Wednesday conducted a search at the Southern California homes, which had been previously inhabited by Nasim Aghdam, the accused behind the incident of shooting at the YouTube headquarters.
Reportedly, the San Bruno police had sought a search warrant to investigate the properties around the area where the shooting incident took place that injured four people and also claimed life of gunman.
The police conducted searches at Menifee and 4S Ranch, the adjoining areas of San Bruno. It further reported that Aghdam shot and wounded four civilians before committing suicide.
Earlier on Wednesday, United States President Donald Trump offered his thoughts and prayers for the victims of the shooting incident while extending his support for the law enforcers investigating the incident. (ANI)

In 2008, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were a major voice in the fight against California's Proposition 8, which outlawed same-sex marriage. Now, Mormons are once again weighing in on the sex lives of Californians – this time, by way of billboard in the Bay Area of San Francisco. Utah-based Fight The New Drug (FTND) is the group responsible for about 100 billboards that read "Porn Kills Love," recently spotted in the Bay Area, but despite the all-Mormon founding team the group denies its signs have any ties to the church. Instead, FTND's founder told The Daily Beast that it takes a "fact-based" approach to addressing the effects of online pornography. "We have no affiliation with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or any other religion for that matter," founder Clay Olsen said. "This issue goes beyond personal values or beliefs. It's a public health concern and we, as a society, need to start treating it as such."
San Francisco is known for its liberal attitudes on sexual freedoms, so the billboards have garnered much criticism and though FTND does not affiliate with the Mormon Church directly, some find it difficult to separate the founder's beliefs from their cause — especially with the history of Prop 8 in such recent memory.
According to The Daily Beast, FTND's anti-porn campaign lacks basis in the science and research on online pornography that has been conducted. "Porn addiction," a phrase used across FTND's website, is not recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and "sex addiction" has been denied re-entry to the manual numerous times. A study published this year in Biological Psychology said that the brains of those experiencing "major problems" stemming from use of pornography appear opposite to those of drug addicts. Research cited by FTND comes from a Mormon neurosurgeon and anti-porn activists, the article notes.

Reviewby Carl Kimlinger,
Lupin the 3rd: The Hemingway Papers
Legend has it that before he died Ernest Hemingway wrote a one final tale. In it he revealed the location of an ancient treasure, stumbled upon during his travels. Naturally, this interests Lupin III, thief extraordinaire. The difficulty is that the story itself is sealed in an unbreakable box, somewhere on the war-torn island of Colcaca, and that the key is in the hands of unscrupulous arms dealer Marces. Undeterred, Lupin heads—Lupin-style—to the island, where he promptly gets on the wrong side of the local powers and mixed up with a beautiful revolutionary. He also finds Jigen and Goemon, on-island for their own disparate reasons, and naturally where there's the scent of treasure, Fujiko can't be far behind. Let the con begin!
Hemingway Papers is not trying to transcend the Lupin franchise the way Hayao Miyazaki's Castle of Cagliostro did. And it's not trying to deepen or darken it the way, say, Dead or Alive or, more recently, The Woman Called Fujiko Mine tried. No, Hemingway is standard Lupin: a feature-length caper in which our favorite thief gets in bad with some nasty folk, foments all manner of trouble, and comes away with the loot in the end. (In a fashion at least). It's Lupin as it always (or generally) is. Which is to say, wacky, wildly improbable, and overall just heaps of fun.
This time friend Lupin is after an undefined treasure, the keys to which lay in an embattled Mediterranean island and a series of European vaults. Which is really just an excuse to get Lupin into trouble in exotic locales—to break into castles and Swiss banks, drive motorcycles into murderous seaplanes, and leap out of jets, sailing into the middle of a warzone aboard a suitcase/emergency glider. After which he, two would-be despots, an embittered ex-guerilla, and a slippery arms wholesaler chase each other and the clues to the Hemingway Papers all over Colcaca, everyone trying to gain the advantage while simultaneously trying to off one another.
What ensues is classic Lupin mayhem, replete with exploding bars, pretty snipers, impossible heists, horseback escapes, and rescues via earthmover. Armies clash, enemies make and break queasy alliances, and everyone spends a lot of time screwing up, stabbing each other in the back, and either getting away by the skin of their teeth or buying the farm in ironic ways. Jigen gets into shootouts that range from the OK Corral to tightly-choreographed Tsui Hark madness. There's some Thunderdome business in an improbable natural coliseum, and a finale where luck, quick thinking, and overenthusiastic enemies unleash the powers of a place aptly named the Valley of Death.
In short, it's delirious, delightful nonsense. A high-spirited goof on the cheap, psychedelic James Bond rip-offs that were proliferating during the franchise's main run; bizarre, over-active, and very funny, with just a touch of deadly unpredictability and secret smarts. It's impossible to watch Zenigata practice his honed brand of surreal ineptitude, or to watch how Jigen and Goemon handle being on opposite sides of a civil war, or to see Lupin playing the gleeful agent provocateur—laughing and prodding at the center of the chaos, waiting to ride the wave of destruction and betrayal to the loot—without unforced delight. Delight that is only heightened by the little grace-notes: the glimmer of social conscience in its portrayal of first-world greed in third-world conflicts; the deft play on our preconceptions about who is dangerous and who's a joke; the beautiful little moment when principled bartender Maria accuses Lupin of being the same as the treasure-hunting vultures wrecking her homeland, to which, after a telling pause, Lupin simply replies: "Probably."
As with several other Lupin TV specials of its time, Hemingway was directed by highly-regarded industry veteran Osamu Dezaki. If you know your Lupin and you know your Dezaki, you know what you're getting here, stylistically speaking. You get your standard Lupin designs: lanky, with big hands and skinny arms and long faces, equipped with an arsenal of wonderfully cartoony expressions. Pointy shoulders. Lovingly detailed guns and vehicles. The familiar stable of Lupin actors, having their usual grand fun. From Dezaki you get his usual professionalism and customary stylistic quirks—detailed, painterly freeze-frames; expressive lighting; split frames; canny uses of repeated animation, speed lines, and cheap zooms. He handles the usual handful of (warmly familiar) Lupin musical themes adroitly. He assembles loony action with expert clarity. He delivers wacko humor with restraint—playing the gags straight and letting the oft-hilarious art speak for itself. He makes good use of real-life settings, and is just generally the old, grizzled pro that he is. Or was. He is, tragically, now passed away. Raw animation quality hovers somewhere in the OVA range and is gloriously hand-drawn.
This is an Eastern Star release and is thus as stripped-down a it can be. Or so you'd assume. In most ways it is. There's no dub and the packaging is minimalist. But this time there is an extra, and it's a good one: a punishingly informative commentary track featuring the mellifluous voice and exhaustive knowledge of ANN's own Mike Toole and the less mellifluous but also eminently knowledgeable Reed Nelson (of LupintheThird.com). The subtitles are better than some—quite good in fact—but the occasional embarrassing typo does get past the proofreaders. When caught trying to snipe one of her island's would-be rulers, Maria claims she's only up there in the mountains "to shoot some peasants to feed to my guests." I'm not sure the guests would appreciate that.
So, yes, The Hemingway Papers is boilerplate Lupin. And boilerplate with its own unsightly rusty spots too. Fujiko really is nothing more than a pretty face this time around, Zenigata is given no substantial role, and choosing Hemingway to give the treasure hunt its aura of mystery and myth was pretty foolish. Papa Hemingway would probably spit on Lupin and its dippy excesses. But why grouse? Plunk your butt down, dial down the brain-noise, and get ready to have yourself a grand old time.

William S. Hein & Co., Inc. has just released a monumental, unique, culturally significant, and free collection. Below is a note from company President Kevin M. Marmion:
Today, William S. Hein & Co., Inc. released the newest HeinOnline collection, Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law. This collection, developed under the direction of Paul Finkelman, Ariel F. Sallows Visiting Professor of Human Rights Law at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, has been in development for more than three years, with an investment by the Hein Company of tens of thousands of dollars. During the development of the collection, the Company's market research indicated that Slavery in America and the World would be a very successful and profitable collection once offered on a subscription basis. However, while the Hein Company is a for-profit corporation with fiscal responsibilities to its shareholders, its mission statement contains a number of core values, one of which is Corporate Citizenship. This means that, as a company, Hein resolves to make a positive difference in the community.
The crisis revolving around race relations in America and the recent events surrounding this crisis have made the Hein Company rethink the idea of financially profiting from the sale of a collection on slavery. As good corporate citizens, Hein realized that a unique opportunity existed to make a positive impact in our community, in our profession and very possibly in a wider arena. Therefore, the decision was made not to charge for this collection, but to provide Slavery in America and the World free to anyone with an interest in the subject: libraries, institutions, students, researchers, or any other entity within our global community. By doing this, the Hein Company will realize a different form of profit by potentially making a difference during this troubling time.
The Hein Company has always recognized the impact librarians have within their communities. Their social consciousness, their communication skills, their ability to interact in a positive fashion with young children, students of all ages, high school, college and graduate level faculty, business people, attorneys, judges and the public in general put them in a unique position to open lines of communication to address the issues Americans are faced with today. By providing complimentary access to Slavery in America and the World, a wide audience has an opportunity to be more informed about the history of slavery and the pain of racism. By using this collection, librarians can be in the forefront of a movement to help educate their communities and create an environment for open and positive dialogue, which could have a positive impact on our society and may go a long way in helping find solutions to the distressing issues confronting all of us.
The Hein Company hopes you will add this collection to your institution. Please join them in making a difference today.
About Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law
Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law brings together, for the first time, all known legal materials on slavery in the United States and the English-speaking world, as well as materials on free African-Americans in the colonies and the U.S. before 1870. Included are every statute passed by every state and colony, all federal statutes, all reported state and federal cases on slavery, and hundreds of books and pamphlets on the subject. In total, the collection contains more than 1,000 titles and nearly 850,000 pages.
The collection homepage features a detailed overview on the subject of slavery and the assemblage of materials written by Paul Finkelman, noted historian and lead editor of this incredible collection. Browse among eight categories, including Periodicals, Slavery Statutes, Judicial Cases, and more. Look for current, full-color titles from UNC Press, such as Southern Slavery and the Law, 1619-1860 by Thomas D. Morris:
Paul Finkelman, along with Hein's editorial staff, categorized each document within the collection based on four factors. The Slavery Quick Finder, located in the All Titles subcollection, enables users to search for documents based on the document's position on slavery, type, jurisdiction, and topic. For instance, a search for anti-slavery cases and trials from the northern United States produces these results:
Browse Slavery Statutes by state or select United States to view laws at the federal level:

Monday was the biggest day for players coming back to the NHL. First, it was the announcement of Peter Forsberg trying to do it all again with the Colorado Avalanche in a Brett Favre kind of fashion. The second was Ray Emery coming back after signing with the Anaheim Ducks. Both stories have to do with guys coming back from career-threatening injuries, but why does Emery's signing make people feel better than the Forsberg one??
The obvious answer is that Forsberg has done this before and will probably do it again until someone tells him....enough. But it's a story where there's a guy who is a champion and still wants to get out there and prove that he's got something left. The winning spirit is something to be admired, but if he flops again (not like diving) will even the Avalanche give him a chance again?? It's a matter of time before the teams just forget about the past accomplishments and have to cut anchor and go away.
With Emery, though-- it's a story of an up-and-down guy. He came through the ranks of the Ottawa Senators organization, he led them to a Cup Final. Then, once he got the extension from the team-- things went south and the team bought him out. He went to Russia, played decent-- but got into a trouble off the ice, which soured him in Russia. He was able to get back with the Flyers before he went down to a serious injury-- threatening his career....only at age 28.
When I look at it, the fact remains that we always feel bad for guy's who have their career's cut short by injury and not care about guys who are older coming back, mostly because they have actually achieved all they wanted. Granted, Forsberg has been through this rodeo before and he's someone who people are tired of hearing about because the prolonged process he has put everyone through; but it shouldn't discount his plight. He's Cinderella, trying to find the boot that fits him so he can play again. And if he can become effective again, I think it's a good story in the end and makes his plight all the better, because he could actually do what he set out to.
With Emery, it's a good story for him coming back from a serious injury, but at the same time...I don't know if I'm completely sold on it just yet. He'll definitely help the depth of the Ducks, but is there going to be a time where he blows up and becomes more a distraction than what's needed?? The Ducks are bouncing back nicely from early season struggles and if he were to disrupt something there-- is it really that good a story?? Maybe this injury has opened his eyes on dealing with difficult professional situations, but if not-- it could be interesting to see how it is.
In any case, Emery starts on his road back with the Ducks AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, while Forsberg seems to be plying his time and will return straight to the Avs line-up, seeing as he has a no-trade and no-movement clause in the pro-rated deal. Will either of these stories have a happy ending or will the script stay the same?? If nothing else, it'll be a fun sub-plot to look at as the season winds down.

Over the years, the MPAA has found itself in headlines for heavy-handed persecutions of copyright infringers far more often than for anything that would endear it to the public. Today they've actually taken a step in the right direction with WhereToWatch.
It's a new service like Can I Stream It where 'Net users can search for movies and TV shows they want to watch and find out where they're available to watch legally. WhereToWatch scours a number of different sites, including Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, Vudu, iTunes, Amazon — 27 in total.
WhereToWatch is missing Google Play and the big cable channels that Can I Stream It offers (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Starz, and Encore), but they fill the gap with the 'Now' services (Syfy, Bravo, Sprout), Disney, ABC, and a handful of others.
Search results are decent, though the beta tag on WhereToWatch lets you know that it's still a work in progress. When I looked for Monty Python's Flying Circus, Vudu and Amazon didn't show up in the list — even though the shows are there to purchase.
It's far from perfect, but it's certainly a much more positive way to push their anti-piracy agenda. Then again, it'd be pretty hard for the MPAA to come up with anything less useful than mailing out harassing letters and filing lawsuits, with the possible exception of swatting people's homes.
Now that they're trying to make it easy for people to find what they want to watch on legal services, maybe the MPAA will take the next logical step: making sure that all the content that we want to watch is actually available to us. Is all four seasons of Flying Circus on one legal streaming site really too much to ask for?

EY 5 Marmara matching body part words and images
- By tzerunyan
- 8 November, 2014

This week, EY 5 started their new unit, identifying body parts such as "göz, kulak, diz, dirsek, bilek". They then sorted the images and words by identifying the first letter sound of each body sound.
EY5 Hisar and body parts in Turkish
- By tzerunyan
- 7 November, 2014
- No Comments
As we start our new unit about parts of the body, eager EY5 students identified different body parts through the song "Üç Kulaklı bir adam", then went on to find the words matching the picture cards. There were quite a few laughs when they tried to identify the beginning sound / letter of each body part. While working on the smartboard, some very comical body parts such as "barmak", "darmak" or "iyak" came up. However, they were all able to find and write the correct letter.

Now...on to the reason I'm finding time to blog tonight...
Previously when he broke out, it would take 24-36 hours for his system to flush and during that time he'd itch his skin raw again, which meant another week of healing (if he didn't scratch his scabs open during that time). Believe me, dealing with it for an hour instead of 3-7 days has made for a much happier toddler and mommy.
The reason I'm taking the time to share this right now is because Plexus is offering FREE SHIPPING the whole month of November. Also, if you are curious or want to learn more without making a lengthy commitment, I invite you to join the 7 day challenge my sister Ruth is organizing! I'm so excited about this. Every time I see the difference in my son, I want to share the products with all the other mommies who are hurting and frustrated and searching for answers for their littles, or themselves!
I tried so many things. Creams, the doctors prescription, stricter diet, etc... I was skeptically hopeful when beginning Plexus. As much as I wished for it, nothing else had worked. I just wanted something to make a difference and help my baby heal. And now, months later, I see and live with the difference in our lives. My experience with Plexus deals mostly with eczema, but I have read many testimonies of people of all ages finding answers and healing.
So here are the details:
The seven day challenge is starting on Wednesday the 18th. First, you need to get your order placed NOW so you can participate, and I have 10 spots for friends to sample Plexus for 7 days.
Here are the requirements:
*You purchase and sample a 7-day trial pack of Plexus products.
*You participate in a closed secret Facebook group with the others.
*You give me HONEST feedback at the end of the 7 days.
First 10 people only! (Trials must be ordered by the 10th so they have time to ship)
(As with the other products Plexus sells, even the 7-day trials come with our 60-day Money Back Guarantee! And they are super inexpensive!)

Speaking From Among the Bones.
It was worth the wait.
With a penchant for poisons and an ardent love of chemistry, Flavia de Luce is back with all her unabashed zeal for uncovering the secrets of the dead.
As Bishop's Lacey prepares to open Saint Tancred's tomb on the 500th anniversary of the patron saint's death, who else but the eleven-year-old amateur detective would be on scene to discover not a centuries-old skeleton, but the freshly murdered remains of the missing church organist, Mr. Collicutt.
As she launches her own clever and covert investigation, Flavia uncovers an array of secrets, including some kept by her own mother, whose untimely death still shadows the de Luce family and their home estate, Buckshaw.
As both a writer and a reader I am constantly awed by Bradley's ability to set a scene with the most enchanting descriptions, not to mention the constant flow of witty dialogue and Flavia's
audacious inner thoughts. There are enough twists and turns (and suspects) to keep you
wondering if your guesses as to the culprit are correct, and I can
pretty much guarantee, no matter how well you think you have it figured
out the conclusion will surprise and delight you. As always,
Flavia's methods and adventures will leave you laughing and amazed at
her ingenuity. And don't forget those rare raw and feeling moments between
Flavia and her family, which are even more emotionally charged as the fate of
Buckshaw--and the entire de Luce family--appears more fragile than ever.
Fans of Flavia will love returning to the quaint village of 1950's
Bishop's Lacey, England, and the mind of its most interesting young
resident. Plus, we're treated to a deeper glimpse into the lives of some of our
and most endearing persons, and are given further insights into the life and character of Flavia's late mother, Harriet.
But be forewarned--the moment you read the last sentence you'll be launched into an agonizing wait for the sequel. According to flaviadeluce.com, book #6, The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches, is set for an early 2014 release.
New to the Flavia de Luce novels? Check out book #1 The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

Title: Zaya (Zaya #1-3)
Author: Jean-David Morvan, Huang-Jia Wei (Illustrations), Mike Kennedy (Translator)Release Date: August 26th 2014
Publisher: Magnetic Press
Source: Sent by Publisher
Rating: ★★★★
+Add to Goodreads
Zaya tells the story of secret agent in the distant future who left her post to seek a normal life as an artist and mother. When a biomechanical threat destroys an orbiting colony station and former fellow agents start dying, she is called back into the field to find and stop the danger. Her investigation leads to many questions about her own past, filled with explosive revelations.
My Review:
This is the first comic that I've read from Jean-David Morvan, a french comic book writer. The story is really standard sci-fi, with the setting switching from a futuristic space battle and civilian life on Earth.
The main character is Zaya, a retired special operative who's a single mother with twins, and when tragedy strikes, is forced to come out of retirement and complete one last mission for SPIRAL, the organization she used to work for.
What I liked about this comic was the story and the neat little twist at the end, setting up the next arc in the series. Zaya was well done as a character and I liked her development and the relationships she had with the other characters in the story, most of them being women. Morvan didn't make a big deal about this and took the time to cultivate these female relationships. She was more than a cookie cutter Action Girl.
What I didn't like about Zaya, however, was the art. It was horrendous. Huang-Jia Wei's style in this comic was messy, streaky and indistinguishable. It completely hindered the story and his art was lazy. It looked like he sketched the whole book haphazardly and turned it in.
I noticed that Morvan had a much better artist for his other comic, Naja, and I don't know what made him decide to work with Wei.
Four stars with one star off for the horrible art. The writer should definitely replace the artist since Huang-Jia Wei is doing nothing than hindering the story being told, instead of enhancing it. Still recommended, despite its shortcomings.
