We recently released software that will allow Mac users to upload their fitness activities recorded with the Forerunner 405 or 50 to Garmin Connect via the wireless USB ANT Stick. The software is called ANT Agent for Mac users. You can also send goals to your device when uploading your history/activities.
Soon you'll be able to update your device software and GPS chipset to keep your device up to date. With future releases you'll be able to send workouts and courses to the Forerunner 405 from Training Center and Garmin Connect, and independently send goals to the Forerunner 405 from Garmin Connect. Future releases will also enable you to update your Forerunner 405's device software and GPS chipset.
If you're running a PowerPC Mac, you can expect successful pairing and transfers. Just remember to power down before removing the ANT Stick. We're currently working on additional support for PowerPC Mac systems. In order to be able to install and use the ANT Agent on your Mac, you need to have an Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.11 or later. You'll need to have 256 MB RAM and 150 MB of free disk space. Since the ANT Stick is the USB cable for the wireless devices, you'll need a USB port as well.
Keep an eye on the Garmin blog as Ginger, our Garmin Connect connection, keeps us posted on the latest updates and news! And Garmin Connect's news (@garminconnect) is now on Twitter, where Jake (@jakesjournal) has also been busy sharing news about Garmin, Garmin Connect and Team Garmin.

Sales (also referred to as turnover or revenue) is simply the income that a company receives from its normal business activities, usually the sale of goods and or services.
In accounting terms revenue represents the "top line," to denote how it is reported on an income statement (at the very top). The "bottom line," denotes net profit (what is left from the revenues once all expenses are deducted).
Generally sales might be understood as income received by an organization in the form of cash or cash equivalents. However sales revenue can be described as income received from selling goods or services over a given period of time.
Total Sales = Price of goods or services x Quantity sold
This indicator is included in the book: Key Performance Indicators - the 75+ measures every manager needs to know, which contains an in-depth description of this KPI, as well as practical advice on data collection, calculations, target setting, and actual usage.

Uniform & Equipment
Each sector has a specific uniform which each student is expected to wear. Depending upon the course, this may include an element for practical activities and also items for classroom based learning. Some sectors also require the purchase of a kit or textbooks.
Students must arrive prepared to learn wearing your uniform. Failure to do so is regarded as a behaviour issue. If a uniform is not required students should attend in smart professional business dress. This means items such as hoodies, jeans, shorts, vest tops, hats and trainers are not allowed.
The Maltings College supports students to apply for Bursary Funding. The bursary provides support for eligible students who may otherwise find the cost of attending college, equipment or trips a barrier to education. All students receive detailed information about the scheme during their induction.

Society: Splendors of India and Asia theme at DIA Gala
The annual Detroit Institute of Arts Gala was as elegant as ever on Saturday, but this year, event planners decided to kick it up a notch with vibrantly colored decor. Fabrics,flowers and lanterns drenched in fiery orange, red, and yellow, teamed with teal, fuchsia and violet lined the walls, ceiling and tables. The theme was Splendors of India and Asia, a celebration of the newly re-installed Robert and Katherine Jacobs Asian Wing.
The evening began with a cocktail reception and guests taking a first-look tour of the new wing. The Indian and Southeast Asian gallery offers enlightening opportunities to enjoy contemporary international and local art together with historical pieces. A very inspiring red disc by Anish Kapoor, acting like a magnet, forcefully attracts visitors into the space, while to the left, a bronze statue of the Hindu god Ganesha welcomes everyone with its joyful action. This deity with an elephant head is well known in Asia as the one worshipers invoke as remover of obstacles.
After the cocktail hour, the more than 500 guests were seated in galleries throughout the museum for multi-course meals paired with superb wine and exceptional staff service by Forte Belanger. Courses included slow cooked leg of lamb, seared tenderloin and poached line-caught sea bass with beluga lentils. After dinner, guests were ushered to the Kresge Court for dessert, dancing and entertainment.
"Over the past six months, Gala co-chairs Cynthia Ford, Anne G. Fredericks and Anita Rajpal have worked tirelessly to create a truly memorable experience," says DIA director, president and CEO Salvador Salort-Pons. "We also want to thank our top sponsors, the Ford Motor Company Fund and Padma and Raj Vattikuti and family."
Tickets for the black-tie event ranged from $750 to $5,000 with proceeds benefiting DIA operations and endowment.

Acts describes the efforts of the Apostles and brethren to spread the Gospel in the years immediately following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Of course they were guided by their understanding of God's message and the events they experienced but they also were processing this effort through their background and the background of their intended audiences. Many were still in bondage to what they knew and believed such as those of the circumcision party who held strongly to purity laws who found it exceedingly inappropriate to mingle with and preach to those who were not considered fit or clean.
In Acts 11, Peter is directed by angels and visions to freely go to the Gentiles to declare that God has granted repentance unto life to them and, in my opinion, to all! In a vision, Peter responds to the Lord's command to eat by saying that "No Lord, for nothing uncommon or unclean has ever entered my mouth. But the voice answered a second time from Heaven. "What God has cleansed you must not call common". To me this has little to do with purity laws but really means that all have been cleansed by the Grace of God through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. This was also emphasized in the previous chapter when Peter said, "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him." It is clear to me that the love and Grace of God are meant for people from all nations and how could it be otherwise!
I have spent many years living abroad and this has afforded me the luxury of seeing how other cultures live their daily lives and how they engage in their own faith and religious practices. My experience is that people are shaped by their history and cultures and, therefore, their faith expressions often will be different from mine. Are they to be condemned or found unworthy because of that difference? Are they to be found wanting? I do not believe that it matters to God by what name we call Him, nor does the look of our worship make us more worthy than others because theirs is different. I believe that this is the message from Acts 11, that God is not offended by superficial things but is honored by what is done that is acceptable to Him! To me, God's love is not to be limited by our lack of understanding and thankfully, by His Grace, we have been redeemed and found worthy, regardless of our cultural expressions, gender, and ethnicity.
Perhaps our mission is the same as the Apostles and early brethren. We are to share the love and intentionality of God's love to all regardless of their station in life and no matter how they may differ from our ideals. I suspect some, if not many, may not be able to accept my sense of the generosity of God's love. I suspect some may believe that there is only one way to God's love and that is by the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation. I have struggled with that notion, especially after living in different countries but I cannot, when all is said and done, limit the power of God's love by assuming that it is only for those who express their faiths and beliefs in only one way. What about you? How do you view the nature of God's love? Who do you feel that Jesus died for?

It seems that the unexpected rapid rise of the Leftist leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon has terrified the neoliberal establishment in France and other European power centers. The elites don't want to risk a possible presence of Mélenchon in the second round. In case that they lose their favorite candidate, the liberal Thatcherite and former banker Emmanuel Macron, they certainly prefer the Far-Right Le Pen against the Leftist Mélenchon.
The specific weight of France could turn the European ship away from the balance of terror between the nightmares of neoliberalism and the Far-Right. It depends on the French people. It's time to go and vote massively for the Left as the only hope towards a truly democratic and humanitarian Europe.

The Meaning of Numbers
Weekly Forecast 2nd – 8th February, 2015
What do the Meaning of Numbers have in store for us this week? Well, holy guacamole are you ready to be BLOWN AWAY by the UNIVERSE!? This week has not, 1, not 2 but 7 Master Number vibration days! (read about the Master Numbers here and here and here).
Let's just back up a bit and see how we all fared last week. Did you find the strength in your convictions and were you aware of how your voice sounded when standing firm to a personal decision? Last week had us all feeling we were vulnerably awesome. Did you feel it? Did you react or respond? I know for myself I was able to find the strength to let go of a lot of stresses and anxiety to do with past financial relationships. But I had to ask for help. And that was when the feeling of vulnerability came in. But, I'm happy to say that it all work out in the end (doesn't it always??).
With so much energy on 'out there' in the 'wide world', this week will have us focusing more closely on our own home, relationships and the joy, laughter, love and acceptance we feel when we truly allow ourselves to just "BE" ourselves.
Be aware of the direction you are heading this week, especially on Thursday and Friday where tempers may be frayed somewhat over a prior engagement.
The Meaning of Numbers Day to Day Forecast:
Monday 2nd February, 2015
Monday starts off us with a BANG with the Master number 22 presenting itself first and foremost. Coupled with Universal energy, what happens on Monday will take you through the rest of the week. So if you woke on the wrong side of the bed this morning, choose a different mood, get happy real quick, otherwise you have no one to blame but yourself. Some may feel a tightness of the throat this day, as the Universe is allowing you to let go of the 'inner blame game', which will free up your thoughts and your voice. Recognise the need to chat with a dear old friend, even if departed, as they may just have something to say.
Tuesday 3rd February, 2015 (Full Moon energy)
Tuesday brings with it the Master number 33 in all it's glorified beauty. Faith and resolve is linked hand and hand today and the Universe is letting you know that it is OK to walk away. Be strong in the faith that every thing always works out in the end. Allow and let go. Let go and allow. Be kinder to yourself today. Spend energy on yourself, not money, for today is the day of contemplation not materialistic need. Feed the hole you may feel with love, laughter, good food and clean water. Bring in to your life the energy that you wish to live. Stay close to home if you can.
The Full Moon will intensify all energy linked with the number 3 in your life. Show gratitude. Be kind.
Wednesday 4th February, 2015
Wednesday has us feeling on top of the world this week. And with good reason. With the Master Number 44 presenting itself within multi-dimensional hidden layers of numerology, there lies such a strong foundation with this days energy. Remembering that the meaning of number 4 is strength, today is the day to find any fault in your plans for the future and fix them. Are you feeling nervous about an outcome? Give it to the Universe and go about your day. Do not feed your fears today.
Thursday 5th February, 2015
Thursday allows us to feel energised with the 'unknowing' that the Universe provides. The Master Number 55 is prominent today, and may have you feeling a little on edge. This is definitely the day to be aware of what (and most importantly who, you are drawing towards you). You will feel a need to travel, to be in open spaces today. If you cannot do that where you are, go there in your mind. A need to connect back to the Universe is much needed, as you may attach yourself to the brightest of shiniest things and feel a hollowness bubble forward. Do not be swayed by your past today. Stand firm, speak quietly, and allow the Universal signposts to start pointing you in YOUR right direction.
Friday 6th February, 2015
Friday brings with it a need to feel a connection with family and friends. The Master Number 66 is prominent today, and you may feel a strong feminine energy is beginning to have power. If this is you, embrace your inner power and acknowledge how strong you are, how much inner strength you truly have had in your life, and how you have called on that power in the past to get you to this future, now. If it is a feminine energy that is close to you, allow them the space they need to voice their feelings. Emotions may run high today. Let them run. Speak with only love.
Saturday 7th February, 2015
Saturday will have you experiencing something new that you have wished for, for a very long time. With the Master Number 7 bringing with it new and old experiences to entwine and dare you to dream higher. The Universe always, ALWAYS will give you what you asked for. Are you happy now? Is it all you imagined it would be? If yes, allow gratitude to be voiced through laughter, love, happiness and joy. If you feel you have made a mistake, received all you wanted and found yourself wishing for better, for more, for the past. Stop. Take stock of what you are thinking. Let go of the need to please. Allow the Universe it's own energy. Realise that you can change every part of your life with just one thought. If you are not in the space or place you feel you need to be. Change. Your. Mind.
Sunday 8th February, 2015
Sunday, with it's gorgeous Master Number 8, laying just beneath the surface of our three dimensional understanding, brings with it the need to commune with nature once again. The need to feel grounded. Balanced. Left to rest in the energy that you have just gone through during the week. Take your shoes off and earth your feet in dirt, sand or sea. Sit and watch a tree sway in the breeze. Get back to your roots today. Feel the Universal energy pulsating throughout your very being. Today will hold amazing significance. Do not take it for granted.
Stay tuned for next week's The Meaning of Numbers weekly forecast.

Experience Fall in West Michigan
You always hear about the autumns in New England, but they've got nothing on us here in Michigan! The brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds are in glorious display throughout the region. An October afternoon drive along our country roads brings you face-to-face with nature's magnificence. The tastes of the season are abundant at local Oktoberfest celebrations, harvest festivals, and old-fashioned barn dances. Warm cider, sweet doughnuts, and fresh, crunchy apples fill your senses with fall's goodness. Now is the time to take a hayride, hike in the Ludington State Park, or visit the local pumpkin patch. The crisp air is a refreshing change after summer's heat, and many of us start gathering wood to keep us warm during the upcoming winter months. Autumn in West Michigan-this is where I want to be.

I recently purchased the above mentioned apparatus. Don't know why, but I did. It's not my normal stuff, but still, it sucked me in and I bought it. Thanks Denny ;)
None the less, this thing fools me when I'm doing it and I sit and laugh all the time because it's so impossible. Having said that, and knowing basically nothing about it before I bought it, does anyone know of anyone who does this on a regular basis? Is the included routine and patter the most common? Is anyone really known for their work on this? I would just like to see someone perform it for laymen (just out of curiousity).
Great piece of magic, in my opinion.
Thanks in advance,

Re: Wellington Magic Switchboard
I bought the original version about 10 years ago. (The one with the big lightbulbs.) I have it in my office at work. I probably show it to someone once a week when they sit down and ask, "What the heck is that?" I've shown it to all kinds of people, even professional electricians, and no one has ever figured it out. I'm tempted to buy the smaller version because it looks so cool and it doesn't need an electrical outlet.

I also have the large version as well. I had a problem with paying that kind of money for something that uses batteries :)
Re: Wellington Magic Switchboard
I use this from time to time with adult audiences. I start out talking about building a house and the contractors fouling things up...the wrong color light switches in the wrong rooms, et cetra. I get a good reaction from my routine involving a couple and talking about men's supposedly mechanical skills and women's use of intuition. This all gets woven into the routine. Peace...Fred reisz

Boats that run on solar power have been around for awhile, but they're usually reserved for touring watercraft and other conveyances designed for a leisurely pace. And that's precisely what makes the Czeers MK1 stand apart from the aquatic crowd.
This Dutch-made prototype is billed as "the world's first solar speedboat," which has reached speeds of up to 30 knots. The 10-meter boat was built by the Delft Technical University Solarboat Team, which rode it to first place in the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar challenge, according to Gizmag.
Its success was attributed in no small part to its lightweight carbon fiber shell, as well as 14 square meters of solar panels that power an 80-kilowatt motor. But the MK1's design is anything but utilitarian, featuring a touch-screen LCD control system and full leather trim--in bright orange, no less. (It is Dutch, after all.)

"Pictures of Lily" is a single by the British rock band The Who, written by guitarist and primary songwriter Pete Townshend. It was released in 1967 as a single, and made the top five in the UK, but failed to break into the top 50 in the United States.
In the beginning of the song, the singer laments his inability to sleep. When his father gives him the pictures of the song's eponymous Lily, he feels better, and is able to sleep. Soon, he feels desire for Lily as a person instead of a photo, and asks his father for an introduction. His father informs him however that "Lily" has, in fact, been dead since 1929. Initially, the singer laments, but before long turns back to his fantasy.
Meaning and origin
According to Pete Townshend in the 2006 book Lyrics by Rikky Rooksby, "the idea was inspired by a picture my girlfriend had on her wall of an old Vaudeville star – Lily Bayliss [sic]. It was an old 1920s postcard and someone had written on it 'Here's another picture of Lily – hope you haven't got this one.' It made me think that everyone has a pin-up period."
Lillie Langtry, the music hall star, died in 1929, the year mentioned in the song. Townshend's statement is unlikely to refer to Lilian Baylis, the theatre manager, who died in 1937.[1]
Mark Wilkerson quotes Townshend as writing that the song is "Merely a ditty about masturbation and the importance of it to a young man."[2] However, the song does not mention masturbation explicitly.
Live performances
This song was first played live in 1966, and they continued to play through whilst touring until 1968. It returned to make a one-off appearance at a show in Passaic, New Jersey on 11 September 1979, where singer Daltrey forgot the lyrics and they went straight to Free's "All Right Now", which the band performed on rare occasions in the 1970s. Daltrey performed this four times in his 1985 solo tour. The Who returned it to their set list in 1989, and Daltrey performed it during his 2009 Use It Or Lose It solo tour. The song was also performed during the Who's 2015 The Who Hits 50! tour.
Recording in the studio
During the period that the song was recorded, in 1967, Kit Lambert, the band's first "real" manager, according to Townshend, mixed the song. He filmed the band recording the song, showing the four bandmates performing, with Keith Moon being recruited for the high notes in the song (even though Pete Townshend can be heard telling Keith he "keeps jumping on John's part", however, other live video footage shows John Entwistle, the band's bassist harmonizing and playing the French Horn. Daltrey has said the French horn solo was an attempt to emulate a World War I klaxon warning siren, as the Lily girl was a World War I-era pinup.
Cover versions
- The song has been covered by David Bowie on Substitute: The Songs Of The Who, a 2001 tribute album. [3]
- It was covered by Argentinian punk band Attaque 77 in Spanish on their cover album Otras Canciones.

#CursedChild is here. Almost. It's in the middle of previews and will officially open on 25th July ahead of the book release. Magical!
So we've been frantically updating our Twitter and Instagram feeds for confirmation that this play will rock our socks. And by Merlin's left ear, we think it might be a total smash.
For starters, we love people who are hella prepared:
Do we think a pack of 5 jam doughnuts is a "small snack" or will I get them taken off me at the door? #CursedChild

CRX Si Exclusive Edition
CRX Si Exclusive Edition
Before the SiR entered the Honda stable with its fancy VTEC engine and standard leather trim, the hottest property in the CR-X world was the CR-X Si Cybersports with its glass roof and 4 point injected DOHC ZC engine. In 1989, Honda upped the ante with the limited run CR-X Si Exclusive. Only 350 of these ever saw the light of day.
Featuring the "doberman inspired" camel yellow leather interior & darker bronze tints against a Flint Black paint job as its main feature, the Si Exclusive oozed sex appeal. Dash, doors, seats were wrapped in real leather. All plastic moulding were re-done in matching coloured resins. The steering wheel was leather, gearshift knob wooden, Gathers/Alpine Premium sound system (tape + equaliser + basstube rear speakers) and climate control rounded out the interior.
Outside, the flint black metallic was the only colour available. Exclusive Edition decals on the tail light garnish area, "Cybersports" glass roof, high-mount center brake (later standard in 1990+ JDM models), and special exhaust tips round off the exterior package.
ABS was also standard on all Exclusive models, as well all standard Si options (power mirrors/windows, buldged hood, etc).

You can straighten bent vinyl vertical blinds to get them hanging straight and collapsing neatly again. The uniform curve of vinyl vertical blinds keeps each panel parallel to the next when they hang alone and causes them to nest together when they are pulled to the side. A single bent blind panel can effect the ability of vertical blinds to block out light and take up a small amount of space in storage. Reclaim control of a window by repairing a bent vinyl vertical blind.
Remove any bent vinyl vertical blinds and four additional straight ones. Spread the clips holding the panels in place carefully to avoid breaking them.
Fill a bathtub three-quarters full of the hottest water you are able to get from the faucet. Cover your arms up to the elbows in thick rubber gloves to prevent scalding.
Submerge the bent section of a single vertical blind into the tub of hot water and hold it under for two minutes.
Remove the heated vinyl from the hot water bath and sandwich it in the middle of four straight vertical blind panels.
Position spring-loaded clamps up and down the length of the vinyl stack to squeeze them together as the centre panel cools.
Remove the clamps and slide out the panel after 10 minutes of cooling. Repeat the heating, pressing and cooling process on each bent panel until they are all straight. Add more hot water to the tub to keep it as warm as possible.
Dry all the vinyl panels with a soft cloth before reinstalling them. Open and close the blinds a few times to test them.
Most recent
- Consider covering a window in a layer of tint if the vinyl vertical blinds are warping in the heat.
- Old vinyl blinds can become brittle and resist being bent. It may be necessary to replace blinds that crack during the bending process.

Quitting Vs Continuing
Inspiration Vs Disappointment
Motivation Vs Demotivation
This is the dilemma that we all go through at some point in our lives. This is exactly what my current situation is like. Out of motivation, inspiration and the constant urge to quit. The day I decided to write I thought that this was something that I would never quit or get bored off. Somewhere deep within me, I was always suspicious; what if I reach the stage of boredom and the want to quit, what would I do?
I began writing with immense love and passion and something started with so much love has now become a constant reason for stress and misery, and I totally get it – it's wrong. I've always been the kind of person who easily gets bored with things. I start learning things quite enthusiastically but lose interest gradually like with writing and learning French (it's been months, I still SUCK at it).
Sometimes it makes me wonder is it natural for people to feel this way or am I special case? Haven't found an answer to that one yet! Anyway, moving ahead, why is it that we quit when the learning gets hard? This is something that I have been questioning myself lately.
Going deeper into it I learned that, it is when we start expecting too much outcome as compared to the efforts we put in and how far we need to go in order to attain the desired results; that is when the urge to quit, loss of inspiration and demotivation sets in…
Things like this happen, it's more than normal. Thankfully I'm not the only one. Phewww… A sigh of relief!
There are times when we are full of ideas and inspiration and there are times we're out of it. Our efforts reach a rock bottom and then we start to ask ourselves, now what? When this happens it's easy to feel drained out or go through an existential crisis. Sometimes we tend to lose interest in the one thing we loved and had built our whole life around it. It's actually nothing but a false belief in our head created by one own self. Perhaps it's our body telling us that this is not working, we need to look for a fresh perspective.
At the end of all this chaos, all that I have to tell myself is-
It's okay to feel uninspired and take a break but quitting is not the solution to it. I will figure it out. I will come across experiences that will blow off my mind and give me ample of ideas and inspiration to write enthusiastically again and fall in love with writing all over again. I will come across things that will help me make decisions that I am fretting about at the moment. I will learn to value the journey as compared to the want to reach the destination. I will learn to focus on the important and let go of the rest. I will learn about my own nature.
So Relax-
Take some time-
Get inspired-
Take some action and pay attention-
Rest will come…

Kanji Sieve v0.2
It has taken me a little longer than I thought to get to version 0.2 of Kanji Sieve. Mainly due to getting it to look better cross platform and avoiding problems for a user that wouldn't be an issue for me as the developer.
However, as someone actually downloaded, looked at and commented on my initial little solution I looked at Kanji Sieve again. A little encouragement will always prompt me to continue projects.This time I've taken a bit more care over the look for the Windows file. On the suggestion of Tom Hodgers I used the Meiryo font and allowed the user to change the font size of the sample text.
I added non-Jyouyou kanji and katakana words to the sieve. This may be a bit indiscriminate. What I'm doing with katakana is searching for runs of katakana and hoping these are words. They may not be. For non-Jyouyou I try to eliminate all roman characters, kana, Jyouyou kanji, and punctuation. What's left over in a Japanese text should be non-Jyouyou kanji. Again strange punctuation and foreign characters may appear here. I do have some plans to try to refine this panel though.
Trying it out I was surprised at the amount of non-jyouyou a friend of mine used in her mixi diary. I would have thought a larger amount of kana and jyouyou kanji in a personal diary. I wonder if it is due to using a word processor, it's easier to generate those kanji and presumably she can expect ordinary friends to read them easily. If she was writing by hand it might be different.
Lastly I incorporated a little hack I put together to replace kanji with keywords. I did this to demonstrate how little meaning you get from just keywords. Especially when the most popular keywords in English that appear as the first entry in Kanjidict are a bit dreadful at times. These panels may or may not survive into the next version. If my notebook ever sees the light of day I'd generate the keywords from the users input which may at least be more useful and perhaps generate an xml file with the keyword furigana as pop-ups.
Further plans
I'd at least like to solve exporting. At the moment I have an issue with the flow of records of unknown length in printouts. It may just have to be an xml export.
I may make it into a multi-record solution.
I also found something very similar at the reading tutor web site at Tokyo International University. Which has the added benefit of producing custom glossaries for articles. If I could understand how they can parse for individual words I'd implement this myself.
Download from my new permanent Kanji Sieve page.
––update 11Apr10––
I've corrected the oversight I made in not filtering for half width kana or full width roman characters. non-Jyouyou and katakana should work a bit better now.

Hi Robert.
Once again, a nice job.
Size 18 Meiryo font looks fantastic on my small screened Ideapad S10e with 800×600 resolution.
Some lone katakana figures/other signs show up as non-Jyouyou kanji.
I forgot to mention to you last week that a number of years ago I used successfully the ChaSen Japanese Parser with the JGloss program. Worth having a look at it to see if you can use it (I think it´s still free). Just Google it.
Bye for now.
JGloss uses its own internal Kanji parser or the "ChaSen morphological analyzer".
ChaSen 2.1 is also a standalone program and is still available as a free download. It comes with its own dictionary. http://chasen.naist.jp/hiki/ChaSen/
This program (chasen.exe) may be invoked for use as a text converter for page reading..
Have a look at the following page: http://gorogoro-lab.com/pukiwiki.ini.txt
which shows how to invoke ChaSen or Kakasi in a Wiki page.
Hi Robert.

Hello Robert,
"Bound USR file. (right click and save to disk 288 KB) To update replace a previous bound file with this copy. There is no need to download the complete runtime again. You need a full copy of FileMaker or the Shiawase Runtime Engine to open it".
Bound USR file for version 0.21 is named Kanji_Sieve.USR and will not open with the version 0.2 Shiawase_Runtime_engine.exe. Error message says will only open "Kanji Sieve 0.2.USR".
I changed the file name to Kanji Sieve 0.2.USR but the engine does not recognize it. Had to open directly with FileMaker.

Halong Bay Tours
The Bay of Descending Dragons
Time-worn Vietnamese junks glide over a jade-coloured sea, their sails flapping calmly like a Geisha's fan, and they are enveloped on both sides by jagged limestone cliffs. Welcome to one of Vietnam's most astonishing natural wonders and a highlight of our Vietnam tours: Halong Bay.
Added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994, this beautiful bay is a top tourist attraction and tours to Halong Bay are extremely popular with visitors to Vietnam. One of the 'New Seven Wonders of the Natural World', Halong Bay is situated roughly 165 kilometres from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and is nestled in the Gulf of Tonkin.
According to Vietnamese mythology, once upon a time mighty dragons would fly down from Heaven and spit jewels into the depths of the sea, thus creating formidable steep cliffs to protect the locals from invasion. This led to the name, 'The Bay of Descending Dragons', and our Halong Bay tours position you at the heart of this folklore, stimulating your imagination and allowing you to comprehend the true power of this spectacle.
The bay, which consists of 1,600 square kilometres, is populated by thousands of unique limestone karsts, which have been formed over thousands of years of geographical activity. Our tours to Halong Bay take in some of the larger islands which, with their own lakes and jagged exterior, have an astonishing landscape of their own. The shimmering, calm water of Halong Bay is also home to a diverse ecosystem, comprising offshore coral reefs, sandy beaches, mangrove forests, tiny freshwater lakes, and freshwater swamps.
If you are interested in experiencing one of our tours, Halong Bay, interestingly, has two distinct seasons. The cool, dry winter spans from November to April, while the hot wet summer lasts from May to October. Temperatures, on average, range from 15 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius.
Tucan Travel offers a number of adventure-packed tours, which include a visit to Halong Bay. Tours operate all year round and allow you to truly experience this breath-taking wonder by boarding a traditional Vietnamese junk.

My brother took this picture of my wife and I on our first trip together to Santorini, Greece back in June 2006. The next year we got married on the same island. What I can say with certainty is that both of us have never wanted anything more than what we are about to do. In the last blog post, I explained why we're taking The Great Escape Plan. Here's what it entails and a little bit of how we're doing it.
When we tied the knot five years ago, we knew we wanted to rendezvous in Santorini, Greece for our five year anniversary. Santorini is an island in the Cyclades chain south of mainland Greece. Once a volcano, it erupted thousands of years ago creating a half moon caldera where people today live and millions of tourists visit. Some say beneath the island in the Aegean Sea, where Santorini is located, rests the mythical Lost City of Atlantis.
So there you have a little background of where we're going to first in this adventure across Europe. We plan to hop around some other Greek islands. Then we'll work our trip back west to Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, the UK, and some of the northern countries as well…Germany-Netherlands.
This is how we plan to do our first leg of the trip starting off in Santorini. On June 30, we're hopping on a plane and crossing the Atlantic. It'll be a direct flight from Tampa to London, so as to minimize the amount of time baby Sophia is at an airport and on the plane. And to all daddies working on family travel, that's your main job.
You'll have to minimize the stress levels on mommy and baby because if they're happy, so are you. We broke up our flight to Greece so Sophia could get some down time too. We'll arrive in London the morning of July 1 but we won't head out to Santorini until two days later. Again minimize the flight times and make sure we fly direct. That's the key for daddy to make family travel easier. Try to minimize mommy and baby's discomfort when they're out of their comfort zones.
By July 7 (yes we were one of those couples who married on 7-7-7 along with 26 or so other couples in Santorini alone that day), we'll be soaking up the sunsets in Santorini. We've also just sealed a deal for a studio apartment right on the caldera. Just take a look at our soon to be humble abode.

Beijing's attempts to stop Tibetans setting themselves on fire to protest against Chinese rule are counter-productive and are only provoking more self-immolations, the Tibetan prime minister in exile told Reuters on Tuesday

Make Every Street Safe For Women And Girls
By Holly Kearl
Last week, disturbing security camera footage stunned France. It showed a man in Paris forcefully slapping a young woman who objected to being harassed on the street. The man said obscene and degrading comments, making "noises with sexual connotations," as Marie Laguerre was walking home in Paris. When she quietly told him to shut up, he physically and brazenly attacked her.
Street harassment is a common experience for women in France and across the world. Women practice and are told to adopt many strategies to try and stay safe. This includes constantly assessing their surroundings, changing their routes and routines and altering what they wear. But these strategies don't always work, and they limit women's and girls' lives. Instead of expecting individual women to change to try to avoid harassment, we must demand cultural changes and legal measures to stop street harassment in the first place.
Laguerre reported that bystanders who witnessed her attack were appalled, and the French minister for equality told reporters she was outraged. Most commenters on social media condemned the attacker for his actions and applauded Laguerre for reporting him and publicizing what he did. Still, some online commenters insisted that she should have kept quiet and not "provoked" her assailant.
Ignoring street harassment is no guarantee that a harasser will not escalate to assault.
Harassment and violence are never the fault of the victim; they are the fault of the assailant. In this case, Laguerre was minding her own business and a man she did not know felt entitled to invade her space in a degrading and inappropriate way. He chose to harass her, and then, he chose to assault her.
Ignoring street harassment is no guarantee that a harasser will not escalate to assault. Sadly, I could share scores of examples showing how ignoring street harassers didn't "work," where men would either continue to verbally harass a woman or become more abusive. For instance, because he was angry at the woman who ignored him, a man in Ohio threw an old flat screen TV out of a window at a woman. Two other men followed a Californian woman in their car; men in a truck in Illinois trailed two middle school-aged girls; a man in Pennsylvania grabbed a woman by the back of the neck; while another man in Pennsylvania threw a bottle at a teenage girl's head.
Simply saying no or telling a harasser to stop can also lead to more violence. For instance, in Florida, a man kidnapped, strangled and ran over a 14-year-old girl when she refused to have sex with him. Fortunately, she survived, but other women and girls did not. In Detroit, a man killed Mary 'Unique' Spears after he approached her and asked for her phone number and she said no. In Brooklyn, a man killed Tiarah Poyau when she told him to stop grinding on her. In Pittsburgh, a man shot and killed Janese Talton-Jackson after she declined to go on a date with him.
There is no guarantee that any particular response will prevent escalation. It can happen if you ignore it and if you speak up.
Of course, street harassment does not always ― or even often ― result in physical violence or death. But the fear that it could underlies many street harassment interactions. It reminds women of their second-class status in our society. It reminds them that some men are predators and that women and girls are prey.
Days after Laguerre's ordeal, the French government took the final step needed to approve a national law on street harassment. Now there will be on-the-spot fines of up to 750 euros for committing sexual harassment in public spaces.
France is not the first place to pass such a law. In recent years, either a national or city law against street harassment has passed in more than 20 countries, with laws recently passing in Washington, D.C., in addition to the Philippines and Romania. The law in D.C. is unique and innovative; it mandates the first citywide survey on street harassment, the implementation of model policies and bystander training materials, the roll-out of a public information campaign about street harassment and funding for awareness-raising programming.
While laws against street harassment are not perfect, there are two main advantages to passing them. First, a law takes the responsibility for stopping street harassment off the victims. Second, a law signals that street harassment is not acceptable – which is important because so many people dismiss it as no big deal or consider it a compliment.
More state and national governments should follow the example of the D.C. government and undertake efforts to create communities where people are educated about street harassment and trained to know what to do when they witness it. That's something that could have been useful to the bystanders seen looking stunned as the Laguerre's assailant attacked her.
Instead of expecting women to rearrange their lives or dictating how women should respond to harassers, governments and community members must create comprehensive efforts to stop street harassment.

Lite Coin Exchange Rate Forecast – Say it – TAN
Thank you for coming to The Affluence Network in search for "Lite Coin Exchange Rate Forecast" online. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the quantity of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets usually are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no need for large sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on the planet economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it is more resistant to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy risks. Security and privacy can easily be achieved by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they be a part of more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and verify these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can make transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. As one of the earliest forms of making money is in cash lending, it really is a fact that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites currently focus on business of Bitcoin, but I'm certain there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that will give other monies. Some websites are currently out: valves: these are websites where you fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a little amount of coins for that faucet. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of pat into the currency of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some websites of pat comprise: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. The new ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity also. The best way to think of a sensible strategy and analyze it in the light of these issues?
Lite Coin Exchange Rate Forecast: Finance Without Borders: TAN
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the amount of "shares" won.
If you're thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This option also creates a stable flow of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward. In the event of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be exchanged as a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies proclaim that this sort of digital income isn't handled by way of a central banking system and is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted number of goods, this moneyis value is dependant on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency exchanges. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there is absolutely no real tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the process where it's transacted. All deals on the crypto currency blockchain are permanent. Once youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short term where your visitors can challenge or desire a concessions, or use illegal sleight of hand. In-practice, many traders could be smart to work with a payment processor, because of the permanent dynamics of crypto currency dealings, you have to be sure that safety is challenging. With any type of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your individual tips and so take your money. Unfortunately, you almost certainly can never have it back. It is quite crucial for you yourself to undertake some great safe and secure routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. This can guard you from many of these damaging events. When searching online forLite Coin Exchange Rate Forecast, there are many things to ponder.

Lite Coin Exchange Rate Forecast: The Coin of The People: Affluence Network
Lots of people would rather use a money deflation, notably individuals who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it'd take place as part of your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately links in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the right location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these businesses decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present constitutional problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that could result in business being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it's simply crucial that you understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can only choose to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.

|US: Pak intelligence had no role in tracing Osama
Jehlum Post News Network/Lalit K Jha/ Washington / May 14,2015/The US today dismissed as untrue reports that a former Pakistani intelligence officer provided information about the hideout of Osama bin Laden to the CIA, saying an unilateral American operation traced and killed the al-Qaeda chief in 2011."It was an years of painstaking effort of the American intelligence community and an unilateral operation that traced and killed Osama bin Laden in 2011,
" White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters at his daily news conference."The reporting is specific that a Pakistani intelligence walk-in revealed Osama bin Laden's location to the United States, and that is not true," Earnest told reporters.Earnest was responding to questions on recent news reports which claimed the information about whereabouts of bin Laden was provided by a Pakistani intelligence official who walked into the US Embassy in Islamabad.According to official White House account, Laden was shot dead by US commandoes at his hideout in Abbottabad in Pakistan on May 2, 2011 that took even the Pakistanis by surprise.Several unofficial accounts appearing in the last few days have challenged that version."The original version of this story said that a Pakistani asset told the US where bin Laden was hiding. Sources say that while the asset provided information vital to the hunt for bin Laden, he was not the source of his whereabouts," said an editor's note issued by NBC News.Earnest said the Obama administration went to great lengths to reveal as much information as possible about that operation and what led to that operation being ordered by the president of the United States."We have been very clear about what has happened, certainly clear when you consider the understandably classified nature of the operation and so many elements of the operation," he said."But what's also true is that there are declassified portions of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report and the CIA response to that report, both of whom spent a lot of time talking about the intelligence that was developed as it relates to the specific mission," he added.
"Neither of those extensive accounts features the role of a Pakistani intelligence walk-in revealing Osama bin Laden's location to the United States. The fact is that the United States was able to piece together information about bin Laden's location based on painstaking intelligence work that spanned years, that spanned a variety of sources," Earnest said."And even as the President decided to order the operation, there was no definitive information to confirm that the individual that had been identified in this compound actually was Osama bin Laden," the White House Press Secretary said.Agency

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

Friockheim Health Centre encourages all patients who receive a kit to participate in this important screening
The Scottish Bowel Cancer Screening Programme will invite all men and women between the ages of 50 and 74 years who are registered with a GP. It is therefore vital that you inform the reception staff of your latest address so the co-ordinators can send you regular invitations for screening.
Other eligible individuals who are not registered with a General practice such as prisoners, armed forces, homeless and individuals in long-stay institutions will also be able to participate.
All men and women aged between 50 and 74 will receive a Faecal Occult Blood test (FOBt) kit by post to their home address. The kit is completed at home and returned to the national Bowel Screening Centre for Scotland, which is based in Dundee at King's Cross Hospital.
The centre tests all the completed screening kits and then notifies:
From April 2013, if you're 75 or over you can still take a bowel screening test every two years if you want to. The co-ordinators won't automatically send you a test kit every two years though, so you'll need to ask for one.
It's still free – just call the Bowel Screening Centre Helpline on 0800 0121 833 (textphone 180010800 0121 833).

I asked a friend of mine where Ice Girl was. She told me that Ice Girl was in the locker room.
We used the locker room for the skate show a month ago, so I was familiar with it. The locker room is located at the base of the rink, where the teams enter and exit the ice, directly across the bottleneck of parents and swarming hockey squirts.
I entered the locker room and the door shut behind me. In front of me was a team of half-dressed high school hockey players. They screeched. I screeched. Then I turned tail and fled.
When I exited the dressing room, two figure skating coaches were staring at me, wide-eyed. It was pretty clear that they had heard the screeching. There was no ducking out of it, so I laughed. They laughed, too. It was pretty funny, actually.
I led the laughing coaches away from the dressing rooms and out of the rink to the club room. I figured they'd follow me to hear my outrageous story and I thought that none of the hockey guys would be able to identify me if I made a quick get away.
Naturally, the coaches have told every figure skating parent and her child about this. Embarrassing stories travel fast.
Two good things:
- The coaches and parents had an interesting discussion about those hockey players and their modesty issues. It's pretty ironic that the boys were screeching (high-pitched and girly) when I entered the locker room. These boys are the same ones who walk around in towels after a 6 a.m. Friday morning hockey practice. They seem to believe the entire lobby is their locker room. Coaches and parents are uncomfortable with the towel prancing and I think we're going to approach the hockey coaches. (Outside the locker room, of course.)
- Ice Girl, 12, was not in the locker room with the half-naked hockey players. *whew*
Newbie lessons:
- Um. Ask a coach if the dressing room/locker room is occupied. Duh, Ice Mom.
- Laugh. This isn't a figure skating lesson, but it's a good thing, anyway. As a newbie, I'm making mistakes all over the place. This one won't be the last, so I might as well enjoy the journey to enlightenment.
- Mustache. I know where they sell those fake, stick-on mustaches. Maybe the entire team won't know it was me if I show up at the rink with one of those above my lip and another across my eyebrow. In fact, maybe I should buy fake mustaches in bulk.
