Show: 2:00 PM (ends at 4:00 PM)
A modern adaptation of the classic play. Written by Sophocles. Translated by Kenneth Cavander. Adapted by Matt Minnicino. Directed by Amanda McRaven.
This adaptation takes its title from a letter written by Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Pussy Riot's imprisoned front woman, and resonances between Creon and certain contemporary autocrats are clear. The production examines who we are when we stand up to tyrants and ask for the storm. Do we lose sight of our cause? Do we lose sight of each other? What does it mean to lead? The play also posits that in the heavy quiet inside the rage of tyranny, the tyrant himself may seek redemption.
Featuring: Emily L. Gibson, Sage Howard Simpson, Mercedes Manning, Jason Vande Brake, Jim Senti, Jeff Marras, Alana Cheuvront, Stacey Patino, Mary Borrowman & Petey Gibson.
Production Team: Tiffany Chen, Jeanine Ringer, Karyn Lawrence, Allison Dillard, Corinne Carrillo & Jeff Marras

THAI authorities have begun providing health services to two pregnant Cambodian women jailed for trespassing and logging illegally in Thailand's Surin province, though they have rebuffed calls for the pair to be released, the Cambodian government says.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Koy Kuong said Thailand had promised to send the women to a local hospital for regular checkups and to ensure that they will have access to hospital facilities for the birth of their children.
"Thailand has now implemented a policy of looking after the two pregnant women and checking their health at a hospital regularly," he said Wednesday, citing reports from consular officials.
"We want them to be released back home, but … [we] have to comply with the court ruling and the law in Thailand."
The two women are part of a group of six Cambodians from Oddar Meanchey province's Samrong district who were sentenced in February to 27 months in jail for logging illegally in Thai territory. The group was arrested by Thai soldiers in January while collecting rattan.
Koy Kuong said the government was in the process of filing an appeal on the villagers' behalf.

It's just a flame, defining LGPL parasite friendly caused me to extend the concept: by using and not contributing back you are behaving like a parasite, LGPL allows you to just use a library (not changing it) pretty much as you use a gpl program w/out changing it. I do not want to convince anybody to do anything he doesn't want with his code, I'm grateful it's shared so I can use it.

The P7 Way © Step 6
Level 2 Problem Solving
Once the majority of a workforce are actively engaged in 3C (containment) activity, there will undoubtedly be system and structural problems that will require root cause analysis and full countermeasure action plans.
Project7 have distilled this (sometimes overly) complicated root cause analysis into a simple, but effective 7 Step methodology. We call this: PROCESS.
- Problem: We review the nature of the problem and determine what functions within the business are involved.
- Reviewing: Looking over the data related to the problem condition to ensure we have a baseline for performance, and understand the 'gap' to target.
- Optimising: With regards to the existing containment. Have we tried to contain it? What did we learn? We do not go to root cause until we have learnt the lessons from the original containment.
- Categorisation: Look at potential causes and brainstorm the ones that may have an overall effect on the issue at hand. This is termed 'Cause and Effect brainstorming'.
- Evaluating: Review potential root causes after the brainstorming filter. This can only be done through verification and validation of true root cause via GO LOOK SEE and 5 WHY analysis.
- Selection: Choosing the countermeasure, or who will do what and when. This step enables us to change the existing process and run it as a trial in order to measure its effectiveness as a solution. This step is only completed once the root cause / causes are identified.
- Sustain: We must quickly replicate the solution across all areas of the business. Our aim is to institutionalise and standardise the change.
Project 7 can support the implementation of Level 2 Problem Solving through the P7 Way Level 2 Problem Solving toolkit. This includes:
- 7 Step A3 Process Templates
- 7 Step Process Training Pack
- 5W's and 1H Analysis Sheet
- Baseline Analysis Drill Down
- Containment Planning Templates
- Potentially Root Cause Analysis
- Verification Check Lists
- Countermeasure Action Planning
- Process Confirmation and Lesson Learned Review
- Best Practice Database

Home Reports - new way of selling your house becomes law
FROM 1 December 2008, houses for sale in Scotland have to be marketed with a Home Report. The Home Report contains three documents, a Single Survey, an Energy Report and a Property Questionnaire. This is a new way for buying and selling properties in Scotland. The aim of the new law is to make buyers better informed about the property they are about to buy and assist them to make a more informed choice.
The Energy Report gives buyers an energy rating of the property on sale, showing how energy efficient the house is and gives them an opportunity to consider if they purchase the home would they wish to improve the energy efficiency of the home at a later date. The Energy report also gives potential buyers an idea on how much it may cost them to heat the property. Energy efficiency is a very important element considering the cost of fuel and the long-term environmental cost. The Property Questionnaire provides a whole range of answers to questions any potential buyer may wish to address before deciding whether to buy the property or not.
The law applies to anyone marketing a house from 1 December 2008. If the property has been on the market prior to that date, it is not subject to a Home Report. However, if the house is still on the market on 4 January 2009, then an Energy Performance certificate will be required.
The person responsible for making sure the house on sale has a Home Report is the person marketing the property who is also responsible for ensuring that a copy of the report is supplied to any prospective buyer that requests it. A seller can only refuse to provide a Home Report in limited circumstances. These include instances where the seller reasonably believes that the person making a request could not afford the house, has no real intention in buying the house, or that the person making the request is not a person the seller would wish to the sell the house to but this should not be on the grounds of unlawful discrimination.
The seller has to provide the home report free to a buyer but may decide to make a reasonable charge for photocopying or postage. The buyer's request for a copy of the home report has to be met within a period of nine days. Failure to do so may be reported to Trading Standards who have been tasked with enforcing the law of Home Reports.
The Home Report should be no more than twelve weeks old when the house is placed on the market and if a house with a Home Report is withdrawn from the market for no more than 28 days, it won't need a new Home report. The cost of a Single Survey or Energy report is set by the different surveying Companies and sellers are advised like in any other transaction to shop around and to consider different quotes before agreeing to a set price.
Councillor Peter Convery (pictured above) who is responsible for Trading Standards issues stated: "Buying a house is probably the single most expensive and most important purchase a person can make in a lifetime, and therefore getting it right is very important. The new law makes house buyers more informed and confident in what they are buying. Our Trading Standards service will provide all the advice and information that is necessary for sellers to meet their obligations under the new law and for potential buyers on what they are entitled to as information."
Anyone needing information on the new law or any other Trading Standards matter should contact the South Ayrshire Trading Standards Advice Centre in confidence at 5-7 River Terrace, Ayr or call Ayr 61 60 60. Information and advice on Trading Standards issues can also be obtained on www.south-ayrshire.gov.uk/tradingstandards

The flood of data has led to new techniques with the ability to assist humans intelligently and automatically in analyzing the overflow of data for retrieving useful knowledge. Association mining is an important problem in data mining. A lot of research contributing to association rules has been proposed in recent years. Many of them are the algorithms that effectively deal with a large itemset method. Although these algorithms increase the efficiency of association mining, they have some critical problems such as flexibility, substantial computational efforts, and redundant comparisons for generating rules. In this thesis, we propose an alternative approach for the problem of mining association rules based on Formal Concept Analysis. Using this approach, association rules can be discovered dynamically, and the cost of generating rules can be reduced. We also show that the many-valued context of Formal Concept Analysis could be used for finding more detailed quantitative information.

The multilayered and inter-subjective nature of internationalisation within higher education and its construction by different agents and discourses is now widely acknowledged. The diversity of university populations, and a doubtful link between institutional IoC rhetoric and its impact on actual practice, reinforces and enriches this complexity. As there is currently little knowledge about implementation of internationalisation at Brookes, we have few foundations for valid, recognisable categories of good practice. Our research project, conducted in parallel to other OCSLD-led projects into internationalisation, proposes to interrogate those whose learning experience is now at the heart of Brookes strategy: the students.
Using data collected from semi-structured interviews with groups of 5 to 6 home, EU and international UG/PG students from a wide range of Brookes' fields/courses, the first stage of our research aims to identify areas of deficit and incoherence, strength and intelligibility in student perceptions of the 'international' University. These perceptions can contribute to building a distinctive Brookes' IoC model, inflected by a long-term commitment to educating our students towards critical intercultural competence (Guilherme, 2002). As data collection progresses, we aim to problematise student discourses around this theme through an engagement with models of intercultural communicative competence and critical citizenship, and ways of framing them pedagogically.
Pilot data confirms that IoC is far from a neutral concept (Leask, 2005). Student responses to the semi-structured interview provided insights into two polarities in their experience: perceptions of (dis)preferred practices and their ideals and core values
- Student perceptions of (dis)preferred practices
- 'Staff are too accommodating [to international students]. They get more help/praise for effort as they don't know culture and language'.
- 'OBU goes the opposite way and does too much for international students and not enough for home students'.
- 'Professor asks for contributions from other cultures; it makes it richer.'
- 'In some classes we actively use international knowledge but in others we don't at all'.
- Undergraduate student core values: idealised visions
- 'Multiculturally aware'
- 'Knowing how to work with other cultures'
- 'Being positively open to other's ideas'
- 'Knowledge about the outside world'
These pilot data student voices suggest a divide between stated ideals and actual experience, paralleling dichotomies at institutional level. They also pinpoint connections and disconnections between the different student constituencies interfacing with internationalisation at Brookes: international students, UK students, EU students, and mature students. There are tensions, unevenness and inequalities in the construction of international identities relative to the Brookes internationalisation manifesto: 'Our aim is for graduates to be able to live and work effectively with others in a pluralistic society (…) and strengthen democracy' (Raftery, 2007). Feelings of resentment of cultural others, concomitant with a 'them-and-us' mindset suggest that until there are clearer, constitutive rules about how internationalisation is to be played at Brookes, some home students will fail to develop intercultural communicative competence skills necessary to emerge as global graduates. At present, development of intercultural understanding is largely focused on the needs of international students, and little is being done to minimise an intercultural skills gap between our two main intake streams.
Our collecting of student discourse data about this critical element of internationalisation, the curriculum, will continue until February 2008, when it will be analysed and lead to a strategy document. This document will offer generative frameworks for colleagues to enhance teaching and assessment for international learning. As university educators we bear responsibility for shaping our students for the global and local public sphere. We would do well to address how higher education furthers cultural division and/or understanding and rise to the reflexive challenge of developing new international vocabularies and subject positions (Giroux, 2004) within our individual and collective practices.

The War to Be Her
Season 31 Episode 7 | 1h 14m 44s
In the Taliban-controlled area of Waziristan in northwestern Pakistan, where sports for women are decried as un-Islamic and girls rarely leave their houses, young Maria Toorpakai defies the rules by disguising herself as a boy so she can play squash freely. As she becomes a rising star, however, her true identity is revealed, bringing constant death threats on her and her family.

More work trouble and the frustrating situation of watching the clock tick down while knowing that Agoria had already started. A mad dash got me there too late, with Minneapolis rap group Atmosphere already on the Sonar Village stage to promote their new album "The family sign". I've seen only a handful of Hip Hop shows in my life and would never count myself an expert, but vocalist Slug (aka Sean Daley) and producer Anthony Davis aka Ant's show was pretty compelling despite the all-too-familiar need to get the crowd clapping, putting their hands in the air and calls to make some mother fucking noise. Towards the end of the show they paid tribute to the Beastie Boys, by repeating an act they had seen at one of their shows: getting the crowd to hold up their Adidas in the air. The response may have been lukewarm, probably because everyone was wearing sandals and flip flops and not closed shoes, but nonetheless the music was hot enough to kick start the day.
DJ Raff
Out back in the Sonar Dome, drum and bass stalwart Zinc had already been and gone along with Agoria and a brief effort to catch his younger prodigy Katy B was met with resistance due to the overflowing crowd, the biggest I had seen at the festival. Meanwhile oOoOO had put in a miserly 30 minute set of Witch House in the new Sonar Comlex space between the Dome and the Village which meant it was over before it began and was thus another act to cross off the list without seeing anything. By default then, it was time for DJ Raff in the open air as we were also joined by Jack, a DJ for Perth's RTR FM. DJ Raff is a Chilean born, but Spain-based, DJ and producer, who has contributed to a range of projects over the years including the recent release of the track "Latino and Proud". Unfortunately he failed to impress with a messy set of bass music and the occasional 4-4 intervention that showed little logical continuity or cohesiveness to the style. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of his style was his ability to catch the crowd and lift them up with a great track or mix and then abruptly dump them by switching too quickly or too far afield with the next selection and then having to start all over again.
Four Tet
Kieran Hebden's late afternoon slot was one of the first big surprises in a day of sets that exceeded expectations. While having perused his catalogue from time to time, I have never been an active fan of Four Tet's music, but his set was heavier and much more driving than I would have expected. At times he crossed the threshold into techno, at others staying back in more break beat territory with occasional embellishments of cathartic noise, but always underscored by his trademark emphasis on funk and feeling. Hats off to the man as well for catching the crowd again after the relative disappointment of DJ Raff. There were plenty of big, long build-ups to drag the audience from conversation into contemplation and dancing, and then a lot of space to switch directions and start again. Almost effortlessly he was able to reinstate something of a celebratory air to proceedings that was exstatically received. In addition, while not part of the official festival, there was a screening of a documentary film called "Tongues" on the Wednesday night to celebrate Hebden's collaboration with jazz drummer Steve Reid.
The first thing that took me about Sonar by Night was the sheer size of the crowd, much higher than I had ever seen at the festival before. Big cues for drink tickets and every stage rammed to capacity, especially early in the evening meant some logistics to get everything comfortable, but in the end, there was no detraction from the spectacle. Our first full show of the evening was also another that was more than I had imagined it would be. Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam's debut album "Arular" from 2005 was a personal favourite of the time for its catchiness and its deceptive simplicity, but I never stayed in touch with her work. Several live reviews and recent reports of her poor professional attitude and negative response to some videos has led me to expect little. But an over the top stage show mixing all those catchy, blatant and of course, controversial elements of her persona, proved a hit. M.I.A. was sexy, violent, commercial, trashy, catchy and, dare I say it, entertaining. Her show made Magnetic Man the following night look lame. She opened with a long, almost ambient track of Sri Lankan traditional music before unleashing a restless barrage of both newer material that I wasn't as familiar with and some of the cracking hits off the first album like "Galang", "Bucky done gun" and "Paper plane". Helped by several guest MCs and screens showing images of sexy girls and sexy guns M.I.A. delivered a genuine spectacle and provided an astounding start to the evening.
Last time I saw Scuba play back in January he played a complete techno set from beginning to end with not a dubstep track in sight. This surprised me a lot at the time and was a big talking point amongst some others I knew who had also been at the gig. The fact that he did it again at Sonar wasn't then such a big surprise, but it does suggest that he is now batting for the other team. The direction his label Hot Flush has taken (exemplified particularly by his own and Sigha's releases) would also seem to suggest the same. Their recent label compilation Back and 4th was one half older tracks caught in the process of evolving from more traditional dubstep stylings into the newer 4-4 variations present on the second disc of new material. To be fair, Scuba's change in direction may reflect as much dubstep's restless mutation into UK funky and beyond, in addition to its earlier flirtation with dub techno, than it does any sell out from Paul Rose himself. Nonetheless, as a techno-styled DJ he still delivers a master class of track selection and set design. Crammed into an hour, his set had the feeling of being longer for its patient emphasis on detail and momentum over psychedelia and cheap tricks. It was only towards the end that he employed one or two bass-dropping breakdowns to make his point before finally setting down on his own track "Feel it" from the aforementioned compilation. Distinguished and egoless, Scuba commands for his ability to incite the dance floor and challenge you to listen closely at the same time, the only shame was he couldn't play for longer.
Aphex Twin
Much like M.I.A. earlier in the evening, you never really know what you are going to get with Richard D. James, but perhaps more so. Would it be gabba, ambient, techno or breaks? Would it be ground breaking, irritating, mischievous, arrogant, reverent or irrelevant? In the end it was perhaps everything and more and was simply astounding, one of the best, perhaps the best live electronic set I have personally ever witnessed. At times disturbing and restless, at others serene and contemplative, Aphex Twin crossed boundaries, distorted genres and generated seemingly new combinations and bewildering juxtapositions at will. Most impressively, he stabbed and fractured beats to the point of arhythmia only to catch them again at the critical juncture and send them back in phase and the crowd mad again. Somewhere in between there was still time for some of classics to enter the fray. Another intriguing aspect was his minimal presence, reduced to pixelated images on the screen, without ever resorting to egotistical self-promotion, complicated videos or worse, an overdose of the Chris Cunningham-derived monster faces. An elaborate performance that was brilliant to the point of genius and satisfying to the point of gluttony.
Die Antwoord
After Aphex Twin and the whole night spent in the massive Sonar Club, it was time for something of a rest out doors in the Sonar Pub with South Africa's Die Antwoord. For those unfamiliar with the group, they came to fame (or perhaps infamy?) for their ludicrous fashion and videos, purportedly representing a new style of gangsta rap and "next level beats" called Zef. Perhaps a joke, perhaps not, but from our sitting position at the back, certainly hilarious from the ground up, clothes, hair and that helium voice, but not anything to stay too long for or to willingly seek out again. Well done to them anyway for getting such a good gig.
Boys Noize
Last stop for us at least was German DJ and producer Boys Noize (aka Alexander Ridha) back in the main Sonar Club. Catchy for a time, Ridha nonetheless sold himself short and fell into the trap of many of the big acts to play the Club over the years (I am thinking of SebastiAn in 2009 and 2 Many DJs last year) who's one trick is the breakdown. Decent enough beats and electro sounds for a time, but never a run longer than five minutes before the invariable breakdown and the bass which come slammed back in. The contrast with Scuba for example, or Surgeon the following day is markedly pronounced as their use of the technique was particularly restrained and concentrated more specifically on the narrative design of the set. While Boys Noize was ok to while away some time, it was still not enough to keep us there until the bitter end.
As an afterword, here is a video of said performances by SebastiAn, Ed Banger's resident chain smoking DJ, which is musically poor, but interesting from the point of view of the stage design, reminiscent of an early 20th Century dictator (ala Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" or perhaps the evil dude from the original Battlestar Galactica tv show). Note the hand gestures to signal the bass drop.

After a period of silence Gourmet Lab returns with a 'easy on your love-handles' dessert which has all the comforting flavours of a breakfast. The title of this post sounds like a healthy breakfast, doesn't it?
I took a scrumptious classic Indian dessert 'Srikhand' and made a fancy and a eye-catching dessert. After all we all eat with our eyes first, don't we? Srikhand is basically a thick yogurt sweetened with sugar, favoured with saffron and cardamom. For little more richness and texture pistachio and almond are added to the sweetened yogurt.
I kept almost all the flavours of Srikhand intact and added few more ingredients to complement the existing flavours.
Yogurt, Fruit And Nut Tart - Fancy Srikhand
There are 3 components of the tart - tart shell, yogurt filling and the fruit topping.
Tart Shell
1 cup of whole wheat almond cracker crumbs (If you can't find almond cracker, use gram cracker instead)
1/2 cup almond flour
5 TBS unsalted brown butter
I didn't use any sugar, because crackers were pretty sweet. If you are using gram cracker, you can add 1/4 cup sugar or according to your taste.
To make the brown butter, heat the butter in a pan on medium heat till the milk solid in the butter turns light brown. At this point butter should have a nutty aroma. Don't over cook the butter, or the milk solid will be burnt.
To make the cracker crumb, put the cracker in a food processor and pulse it till you have a fine crumb.
Mix all the ingredients and press the crumb in a pie or tart pan. Use the bottom of a bowl to press and smooth out the crumb in the pan. Bake the tart shell in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20 minutes or till the crust gets brown.
Yogurt filling
4 cup thick Greek yogurt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 cup chopped pistachio
1 teaspoon cardamom
Saffron strands soaked in warm milk
Put the yogurt on cheese cloth and hang it over night to take the excess water off the yogurt. Add rest of the ingredients to the yogurt in a bowl and mix them well using a rubber spatula.
Fruit Topping
1 cup raspberry
1 cup diced mango
1 TBS honey
1 TBS lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Mix all the ingredients in bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes till all the flavours mix well with each other.
To finally assemble the tart, take the baked shell and add the yogurt filling in the centre and smooth it out starting from centre toward the edges of the shell using a rubber spatula. Add the macerated fruit to decorate the tart.

IMPHAL, May 15: Joining rest of the world, the State today remembered hundreds of lives lost to HIV/AIDS with the observance of International AIDS Candle- light Memorial Day.
Deliberation on issues related to the dreaded disease, lighting of candles in memory of the people who died of HIV/AIDS, organizing blood donation camps and involvement in philanthropic activities etc marked the observance held across the State on the theme, 'Touching Lives'.
Manipur is one of the highest HIV prevalence States in India with Manipur State AIDS Control (MACS) shouldering the primary responsibility of curbing the epidemic under the supervision of National AIDS Control Organization (NACO).
At a function organized by MNP+, MACS (Targeted Intervention and Blood Safety) Deputy Director Dr Tomcha Khuman, Lifeline Foundation Chief Functionary Bikram Nepram, MNP+ Treasurer L Deven were the chief guest, guest of honor and president respectively.
In his keynote address, MNP+ vice president, Ajitshwor said only six million people are getting treatment out of a total of 33 million HIV infected people in the world.

Saying that the day is the most emotional day for all the PLHIVs, the VP asserted that PLHIVs do not want more deaths due to improper and untimely treatment.
Ajitshwor also conveyed strong desire to take up necessary serious measures by the Government and NGOs to save the lives of the PLHIVs.
Speaking at the occasion, Dr Tomcha informed the gathering that special programs for women IDUs and adolescent children are not included in the NACP-III. Efforts would be made to add these categories in the NACP-IV to be started from April 2012, he added.
Tributes were paid to former president of MNP+ L Lilakanta, former treasurers RK Dhanakumar and Kh Gyaneshwar and former vice president O Munindro in today's function.
Simple but solemn gifts were also presented to their families as token of love.

If we want to lead well and develop great teams we must start by leading ourself well. Why? To keep ourself on the cutting edge of leadership with influence and impact. Leadership is far more than having been given a position. It is cultivated with character and influence. That is why leaders looking to go to the next level must master leading themselves to the level of leadership they aspire to attain. The experience of our own growth as a leader adds value to the words we speak while developing great teams and young leaders. Leading ourself well produces a leader who leads by example and increases the value of any organization they serve.
What does it look like to lead ourself well? It starts with honest self examination and intentional implementation of necessary improvements discovered in the process. It requires doing the hard things, the uncomfortable things, and the right things when you are with the team or away from the team. It is best achieved with a personal leadership growth plan designed to propel you to the next level. Do you have one? Are you ready to go to the next level?
As part of the John Maxwell Team I'm equipped to help you get there. The first step is discovering what level of leadership you are currently leading. John believes there are Five Levels of leadership: 1. Position- followed because team have to; 2. Permission-followed because followers want to; 3. Production- followed because of results for organization 4. People Development- followed because of what have done for follower; 5. Pinnacle– followed just because of who you are and what you represent(very few achieve this Martin Luther King Jr. is an example).
Now it is time to start. Let's examine ourself so we can grow. Take a moment to complete the small exercise below.
Intentional Growth Connection: If you have numerous leadership roles please answer these questions with one particle role in mind. It is possible to be at different levels based on the leadership role you are filling.
What leadership level are you at today?
What level do you aspire to rise to? When do you want to get there?
For further evaluation score yourself on the following questions and submit. I will follow up with your evaluation and a suggested way forward.
Congratulations for getting on the path to leadership growth! I look forward to our time together at the "Leadership Growth Connection". Be sure to leave me a message of any topics you want to see discussed. My hope is to stay relevant and real on this leadership journey.
Be Alert~ Stay Strong~ Pray Always
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans."

Last week on Fossil Friday, I accidentally posted a summer rerun! No, I wasn't being lazy, I was just forgetful! Blame it on the summer heat!
So what was this rerun? If you missed it before, you certainly got it this time. As many of you pointed out, the critter was an oyster from Peru. I found this one at the American Geophysical Union meeting last fall.
Dan Phelps gets bragging rights for the week, because he not only knew what it was, but being such a big fan of Fossil Friday, he recognized it immediately as having been run before. Kudos to Dan for being eagle-eyed. This Friday, I promise—no reruns!
I'm still pondering which fossils to photograph this week, so give me your suggestions and requests. Have a time period you love? Want to see more fossils from La Brea? Japan? Pakistan? Want more sea creatures? Plants? Sloths?
Your wish is my command—a small penance for my error.

In Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, around a majestic castle, we find the capital of Scotland. A city that uniquely embodies the history and culture of its country.
Auld Reekie ("Old Smokey") is the nickname which was given to Edinburgh because of the constantly smouldering chimneys of the factories of former times. Like Rome it was built on seven hills.
With an overwhelming number of ways to be explored, Edinburgh's visitors should have a notion on what to do and what to expect when entering the area. Also, they have to prepare for some of the rather 'dreich days' (Scottish saying for cold and damp weather).
Not only does Edinburgh offer traditional Scottish tourist experiences like haggis, pubs and kilts. It has become a venue of different generations and cultures that benefit from each other.
The sheer amount of places filled with history and myths still plays an important part in today's vibrant youth culture. The addition of influences and flavours from all around the world are a part of the special charm of the city. This should break the last bits of any misconceptions left about a raw, completely conservative Edinburgh.
From high up Arthur's Seat down to Portobello beach, through the Old and New Town there is much to find, whether for people preferring urban life or admirers of nature. If you are willing to get in touch with Edinburgh's facets and know where to look, you will be able to find new things and perspectives. It is perfect to enrich your life regarding the own preferences as well as unfamiliar, yet exciting experiences and encounters.
This guide will lead you through the contorted streets where you can discover something new behind every corner.
After trying all the possibilities this city has to offer in every sector, you will realize that Edinburgh Castle is surrounded by as much greatness as it has on its own.

Prince George might be causing a stir down under but back here on the allotment it's all about the Queen.
If all has gone to plan a new Queen will have hatched out in my hive and polystyrene nuc over the weekend. Now I need temperatures to get above 16C in the next 3 weeks so they can take their mating flights.
Here is a video from today of the original hive plus two new ones. They're looking surprisingly busy:

Bees For Free – Post w… Read More
To stay updated with the latest information in the beekeeping industry to may visit our apiculture latest news. On the other hand in case you're beginning apiculture and would like to begin professional apiculture now download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping can be a full-time profession or an easy hobby. Nonetheless, more often than not, what began as a hobby would become a profession. But you cannot just determine and tell yourself that you will begin to do beekeeping. You need to have comprehension and adequate knowledge on the field that you are going to enter before starting on any hobby or profession. Then it is about time to indulge yourself, if you really have been putting off your interest in beekeeping for quite a long time. Bee farming may look easy; by learning the basic beekeeping lessons, you can be got off to a great start.
What does a beekeeper should know?
First, you should have full interest on beekeeping to start at the right foot. You must spend time taking care of your own colonies of bees. You should also have consented to share your home space with the bees. There are possible dangers in beekeeping that can harm not only you but your family also. Your focus isn't just to make money by selling honey; a great beekeeper should have a keen interest and fire in raising bees.
An apiarist should know the right location for the beehives. You have to make sure beekeeping is enabled in your town if you decide to put your beehives at your backyard. There are several places confined to beekeeping; you should get permission relating to this.
Beekeepers must understand whether beekeeping supplies can be found in the region where the beehives are situated. You may never understand when you have to attend a neighborhood beekeeping store; it's best that a nearby beekeeping store is not inaccessible.
Protective gear and equipment can also be very important to beekeepers to understand. This will lessen the odds of being stung by your bees. Understand the appropriate suit to choose to keep you from any potential danger in beekeeping.
Last but definitely not the least, among the beekeeping lessons you must know is that: it is essential for the beekeeper to know the appropriate way of picking honey. If you are unable to harvest honey from your bees all the beekeeping attempts would be useless. The approaches should be known by a beekeeper in collecting the honey from your comb; beeswax is also part of the yields in beekeeping.

Film Face-off: 'The Hunger Games' vs. 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'
Happy Hunger Games. Kids killing kids hasn't been this much fun since there was a pig on a stick on an island. Jennifer Lawrence is back as Katniss and she's on a victory tour with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Things don't go exactly as planned, you know, because of the quarter quell and the revolution that is brewing. It seems like the perfect time to look all the way back to 2012, when the original Hunger Games came out. That's right, this week's Film Face-off is The Hunger Games versus The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. May the odds be ever in your favor, or completely rigged. Whichever makes for a more entertaining movie.
Katniss Everdeen/Jennifer Lawrence
The Hunger Games
Katniss starts things off looking at their cat and saying, "I'll still cook you." Don't worry, she's not evil, proven by taking her sister Primrose's (Willow Shields) place in the Hunger Games. Thankfully, she's great with a bow and arrow. At the time, Lawrence was known for Winter's Bone (Oscar nomination) and Mystique in X-Men: First Class.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Katniss survived the first games. Now she's the accidental symbol of hope and must try to make President Snow (Donald Sutherland) happy. She seems even better with a bow, but is having some post-traumatic streefrom the killings. Lawrence has now won as Oscar (Silver Livings Playbook), does amazing things with ordinary interviews, and been attached to every future film that will ever come out.
Winner: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. In the first film, the book nerds were upset because Lawrence wasn't skinny enough to play Katniss. There should never be a moment when an actress isn't skinny enough for a role, unless it's Melissa McCarthy cast in the life story of Sally Field. I changed my mind, that sounds amazing. Throughout the first film, Katniss needs to survive, and she's willing to oddly manipulate to do it. In the second, not only does she need to survive, she doesn't want to be looked at as a savior. The PTS is a fantastic addition. Lawrence seems to be "our" favorite. Everyone is rooting for her, and loves when she speaks her mind. Whatever weird dislike has been thrown at Anne Hathaway, Lawrence is the bizarro version of that, and we want more.
The Boys
Katniss has a fondness for Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), but the future is too bleak for her to pursue it. Peeta Mellark is thrust into the Hunger Games with Katniss, and he's had a crush on her from afar.
Katniss has a fondness for Gale Hawthorne, but the future is too bleak for her to pursue it. Peeta knows that Katniss's affections were false, but still cares. Sam Claflin is Finnick Odair, a previous winner who forms an alliance.
Winner: The Hunger Games. This is a tough one for me, because of Hutcherson's hair. Yes, I'm being serious. He has naturally brown hair, and looks terrible as a blond. As the first film moves along, he keeps getting more blond. But, in the flashback when he's tossing bread to Katniss, it's pretty brown looking. Sadly, I could go on about this, but let's focus on the positives. Katniss creates a fake relationship, and it's tough for us (let alone the other districts) to tell if it's real or not. Poor Peeta. While I like the evolution with Peeta in Catching Fire, having Gale once again sit on the sidelines is boring. Do they realize that's Thor's brother? Plus, when Katniss and Gale kiss, I just assumed that was one of many, not the first. It lacked impact compared to the fake ones Katniss plants on Peeta.
The Others
Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Toby Jones as Claudius Templesmith, Wes Bentley as Seneca Crane, Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, and Sutherland as President Snow. Plus, there are kids who die in the Hunger Games.
Harrelson, Tucci, Banks and Sutherland all have bigger roles. Jones and Kravitz are back. Joining are Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, Jeffrey Wright as Beetee, Amanda Plummer as Wiress, and Jena Malone as Johanna Mason. Plus, there are people who die in the Hunger Games.
Winner: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Sometimes you just need to spend more time with characters to truly appreciate them. The Hunger Games cast completely reminds me of Saturday Night Live characters you didn't think were that funny the first time, but loved them the second time around. Now, I'm in on the "joke" with them. I am ready for a spin-off film focusing on Tucci and Banks. The addition of Wright is always a good thing, Malone redid her Sucker Punch character with better results, and while it took a little while to see the point of Hoffman, it was worth it. Plus, I think someone said, "We need someone who is like that crazy woman from The Fisher King." Then they realized Plummer could still do it.
The Fire
Cinna is the stylist for District 12. He was inspired by Katniss volunteering. When they are introduced to the crowd, Cinna tells Katniss and Peeta to push a button at just the right moment. They do, and fake flames appear on their costumes. Everyone is impressed.
Cinna is still the stylist for District 12. He's also a really big deal now because of the outfits he designed in the first film. When Katniss and Peeta are reintroduced to the crowd, Cinna tells them they'll know the right moment to push a button. They do, and fake flames and ashes appear on their costumes.
Winner: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Look, I know it's a repeat in concept, but the special effects are what take the cake here. In the first film, the fire looks terribly fake. I am completely clueless why this impresses Caesar and everyone else. Has the technology to create fake fire never existed in this world before? Or is Cinna the first to put it on fashionable clothing? These questions and more, go unanswered. In the second film, the fire (now with ash) looks good. It actually looks like they spent money to create the special effects. Plus, this time when Katniss twirls for Caesar, there is a political/social statement to go along with it.
The Game
Kids of all ages are in a forest arena with weapons galore. There is also a chance to get sponsors by charming the viewers. It's the 74th Annual Hunger Games, which is a way to keep the disenfranchised members of society in check.
It's the 75th Annual Hunger Games, with means it's the Third Quarter Quell, which means something special will happen. This year it's past champions thrust back into the arena. This time it's a jungle area with different quadrants.
Winner: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. This is a slight victory for Catching Fire because I like the ending. There are numerous problems with the games. Let's talk about the 74th first. They changed the rules by allowing two to win (as long as they were from the same district). Was this a big deal? Do they change the rules all the time? Also, the forest fire complete with flaming balls could have killed Katniss. Is that what the audience within this society wants? Aren't they after hand-to-hand combat? Also, the games would have more drama and rooting interest if you didn't put a big pile of weapons in the middle, allowing the fastest to immediately start killing.
I have no perspective of what the society thinks, because we never hear their outrage or excitement. Also, in the first film alliances aren't addressed. At all. This makes no sense and is the truest glaring issue with this film based on a young-adult book. If you've been raised in this society, knowing only one can survive, you kill. There are also the muttations, which can be created in this society through a computer, I guess. If only three humans are left, why create muttations to speed things up? And if you can create anything from this computer, why do you need parachutes to drop in donations from sponsors that only get slightly close to the competitors. In the second game, alliances are discussed and make a little more sense in the big picture. Once our heroes figure out the special pattern of the jungle, it is changed by Plutarch, rendering their intelligence pointless. All of these things could be forgiven if it was secretly up to the head game master to choose the winner and no one ever truly had a chance. Did you notice both films use a giant hill, and falling down it without seriously getting hurt, as a way to get away from danger? Finally, Jabber Jays are the lamest things of all time. Can you tell I'm a rule monger and these rules collectively just don't make sense?
OVERALL WINNER: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire defeats The Hunger Games, 4-1.
In The Hunger Games everything is pretty interesting, then we get to the games and it loses my interest. In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire everything is really interesting, then we get to the games and it loses my interest a little bit. That's right. Same formula, better delivery. It helps that either the budget has increased or they've just hired better special effects artists. It definitely leaves me wanting more films. Since I haven't read the books, I'll be absolutely baffled if we spend much time with the 76th Annual Hunger Games. This is definitely for the best since the games are 0/2 with lacking any true drama. The concept and delivery of the actual games within Hunger Games is even worse than the Golden Snitch in Quidditch.

Sellafield milestone 'like scoring in the FA cup final'
Find out about the 50-tonne piece of equipment which will be used to clean up the most hazardous building on Sellafield.Read the full story ›
New nuclear waste machine arrives at Sellafield
Part of a machine which will play a crucial role cleaning up the most hazardous building at Sellafield has arrived on site.
The 50-tonne component was transferred three miles by road from Beckermet.
It will retrieve radioactive waste from the Magnox Swarf Storage facility.
Nuclear waste site could be considered in Cumbria
Cumbria could once again be considered as a site for an underground nuclear waste store.
The Government has confirmed it will launch a new process tomorrow to try to find a suitable location.
In January, amid protests by those for and against the idea, Cumbria county councillors decided not to go any further with the search.
However the two borough councils in west Cumbria had supported the idea and it is believed they could once again put their areas forward for consideration.
Full Report: Public Inquiry into nuclear waste dump
A public inquiry is investigating controversial plans to bury up to a million tonnes of low level radioactive waste in West Cumbria.
Cumbria County Council refused planning permission for the site at Keekle Head near Distington in May last year. The company behind the proposals, Endecom promptly appealed.
Endecom says there is a need for such a facility, while anti-nuclear protesters strongly oppose the idea.
Watch the full report from Ryan Dollard below.
Artist's impression of proposed nuclear dump site
"Nuclear industry desperate to get rid of waste anywhere" says campaigner
Plans to bury one million tonnes of low level radioactive waste in west Cumbria have gone to a Public Inquiry.
Cumbria County Council refused planning permission for the site at Keekle Head near Distington in May last year, prompting the company behind the proposals, Endecom, to appeal.
This has resulted in the Public Inquiry.
Endecom says the site is well suited and there is a need for such a facility, while anti-nuclear protesters strongly oppose the idea.
Phil Holland is from Endecom UK:
Protestors display banners at Public Inquiry
Nuclear waste dump Public Inquiry set to begin
Cumbria County Council's decision to refuse planning permission for a radioactive waste dump in west Cumbria is the subject of a Public Inquiry this week.
A number of planning consultants and council officers will be presenting evidence at the Inquiry, which will be held over an expected two-week period at County Hall in Kendal.
The application to use the Keekle Head former open cast coal mine as a site to store up to aone million cubic metres of low-level waste was turned down in May 2012.
Sellafield fined £700,000
Sellafield Ltd has been ordered to pay a record fine of £700,000 after carrier bags containing low level radioactive waste were mistakingly sent to a landfill in Cumbria.
The judge at Carlisle Crown Court said it was a 'fundamental management mistake'.
Full report: Protestors campaign against nuclear waste law
Anti-nuclear protesters have been demonstrating in Whitehaven against a law that allows low level nuclear waste to be dumped at a landfill site in west Cumbria.
It was introduced in 2011 but so far no such waste from outside Cumbria has arrived there.
Radiation Free Lakeland says that could change though with material coming from Scotland in particular.
It's backing local councillors in the area who oppose the plan and wants to take the issue one stage further.

Why Staying In is the New Going Out.
10 comments:
So true, it is really nice to stay in, especially at this time of year when it is cold and dark!ReplyDelete
Camille xo
Could not agree more, I mean I do love a good night out but I miles prefer staying in or going out as opposed to Out. At least when you stay in you can hear what the people you're with are saying!ReplyDelete
Heather x
I loved this post it's so true. I actually prefer staying in these days I must be getting old hehe. xoxReplyDelete
me too! so much less faff! xoDelete
The amount of times my friends tell me 'push/drink through the tiredness' as well is a joke! Drinking just makes me feel even more tired haha and lately I haven't been able to stay out as long as I used to! I do looove a night out but I think it's good to have a balance (plus, I don't think my bank account can take going out every weekend anymore haha) xReplyDelete
Angela | The Sunday ChapterReplies
I agree! I just wanna find a nice corner and have a nap! thanks for reading! xoDelete
haha I am that friend who gets ridiculously bad hangovers. Especially now that i'm 23. I just can't hack it anymore, even when I haven't drank THAT much. I'm all for staying in now, especially now it's cold. I'd rather be in with a hot chocolate, cosy socks and a good film than standing out in the freezing cold queuing for a jam-packed club. Great post :)ReplyDelete
hangovers are the worst! I always seem to have work the next day too! xoDelete

Special delivery!
OMG! Look what I got in the mail today!
Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about "Holly's Inbox" and said that there was a sequel that was ONLY released in the UK? Well, guess what. I FOUND IT! When I was originally looking, it was not available for sale on the UK version of Amazon, although now it is.
I searched high and wide on the web and ended up finding it for sale on Alibris.com. I'd never heard of this website before, but they sell used books, movies, music, textbooks, etc., and have a special section for rare and collectible books. This book only cost me about $7 total. Yes, I said $7. The book itself was $3 and shipping was $4. I know… crazy cheap, huh? It was shipped from a seller in NY but it did originally come from the UK (see the British Red Cross price tag on it?). It's kind of yellowed and some pages are slightly ripped, but it was $7. I'll deal with it.
I can't wait to start reading it! I have to finish my current book first though ("Winter Garden" by Kristin Hannah); I can't handle reading multiple books at one time.

I love being with happy people!
There is something so contagious about their joyful and fun filled lives. On the other hand, I avoid the company of miserable and bitter people. They are not pleasant to be around. Why? Because generally they are full of complaints, their countenance is dark and they exude an atmosphere of pessimism.
The success of our lives depends upon the choices we make
I suppose you could be wondering if I am an unsympathetic person who lacks empathy. No! I love people and I care deeply about them, but I do think that the success of our lives depends upon the choices we make.
Viktor Frankl put it this way:
The last of the human freedoms is man's right to choose his attitude in any and every situation.
We choose whether the circumstances of our lives will make us bitter or better. It is our decision whether we allow our disappointments and our failures to become stepping-stones or stumbling blocks. Our choice!
Proverbs gives us some great advice
The book of Proverbs is a wonderful book. I read a chapter every day to ensure I fill my soul with wisdom for the day ahead. Proverbs 4: 23 gives us some great advice. It says:
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
When the Bible speaks about 'your heart' it is not referring to the organ that consistently pumps blood through your body; it is alluding to the seat of your emotions; the inner you. It is important that your internal being (heart) is healthy.
There are three steps to ensure a healthy heart:
1. You must guard of your heart
You are the guardian of your heart; no one else. This is your heart and you have to take care of it. Proverbs says that you guard your heart. If you are struggling with bad or negative attitudes, the first thing you must do is take responsibility for your own heart. Quit blaming others. I am not unsympathetic here—I understand that people may have hurt you and I do empathize with you in your pain. Emotional, physical and sexual abuses are awful things to contend with. But, if you want to walk in freedom you have to let go of your past.
2. Guardianship of your heart must be a priority
The writer of Proverbs says; "Above all else, guard your heart…" In other words, there is nothing more important than taking care of your heart. Why? Well, once again Proverbs gives us the answer.
3. A healthy heart is a wellspring of life
Simply put, if your heart is healthy it will be a 'wellspring of life.' What a beautiful image the writer paints for us. Picture it for a moment—a spring with clear, crystal water flowing out of it. Some springs can become the source of rivers if their openings are large enough. That is the image the writer tries to describe of a well-guarded heart—life-giving water flowing out of you to those around! On the other hand, a heart that is left unguarded can shrivel—like a spring, if the source is damaged, or if there is a drought, it dries up!
I encourage you to make the health of your heart a top priority.
- Look into the deep recesses of your inner being and ensure there is no lingering anger, bitterness or unforgiveness.
- Take responsibility for your own heart.
- Make some good choices today.
The amazing truth is that if you take care of your heart and ensure it's health, then not only will you enjoy the benefits, but those around you will too. Your heart will be like a bubbling spring that will pour out of you and bless everyone around you. I want a heart like that!
