electric motorcycles in the world at this point, so thank goodness BMW just introduced a new one into the world. It's a slinky thing, with a single front fork and a spindly rear swingarm, two features that don't make it look particularly trail-ready -- despite the Husqvarna branding. (BMW bought Husqvarna back in 2007.) But, it does look a little more off-roadable than the electric scooter concept BMW also unveiled. No further details about range, speed, or indeed likelihood of production are available for either, but there are more pics of both in the gallery below.
Update: We got some further details on the bike. It weighs just 80kg (about 150lbs) and riding it through traffic is said to be like playing a videogame. The press release after the break doesn't say which videogame, but we're hoping it isn't Frogger.

My mental picture of Indians has been warriors on horseback as shown in movies during my youth. The fact that horses came in with the Spanish and helped create a whole new type of culture markedly different from the original way Indians had lived, was something I was not aware of. In general we were also not aware that once millions of Indians covered the continent and they had trade contact with each other exchanging the copper of Michigan, seashells from the Gulf of Mexico and Mica from North Carolina for the fresh water pearls of the Mississippi.
The picture most of us had was that Indians were thinly settled across the continent where in fact there were large numbers that were decimated by the diseases like small pox and measles brought in by the Europeans. The Indians did not have the same level of immunity and whole tribes were wiped out. As the settlers came into this newly opened territory they assumed God had prepared it to be this way for them, and the fact it had been settled did not occur to them.
The National Park Service preserves some of this history at Effigy Mounds National Monument that overlooks the Mississippi River not far from Harpers Ferry, Iowa.
The visitor's center is small with displays showing how the Indians who created the mounds responded to the changing of the seasons. Much is made of how the natives followed the seasons to take advantage of when and where food and other resources were available.
The Indians used this area for over 2200 years from 1000 BC to 1200 AD and were known as the Woodland people. They appeared to be mostly hunter-gatherers and the display cases in the center show arrow points and other equipment used by Indians in the area. These Indians used spear throwers rather than the bow and arrow that had not been invented yet. A brief movie gives as much of the history of the mounds and local tribes as is presently known, which is not much. There are after all no written records and the tribal story tellers are all dead.
Carla and I took the recommended self guided tour using their Fire Point Trail Guide. While only two miles in length it goes up a winding, demanding steep incline. Along the way you stop at points to view the mounds, which are mostly round, with two larger ones in the form of bears. The ritual purpose of the mounts remains unknown, but some were memorial mounds given that bodies are buried in them. When people were buried in an effigy mound they were buried in the heart or brain area and it is assumed they were leaders or special people in the community. The mounds were built over thousands of years and may have served different purposes for different groups. The view of the river with islands from fire point is striking and the view may have contributed to the mounds being built here.
These mounds are small enough that a relatively small number of people could have thrown them up over a few days. One suggestion is that these were ceremonial mounts built when groups got together to arrange marriages, cement relationships and bury some of their dead. Although mounds are common across America it is only in the upper Midwest that they are built in the shape of animals. Effigies are related to what animals were found in the area, here they were birds and bears in other places turtles, panthers, and lizards.
In the early 1800,s 10,000 mounds were recorded, but now fewer than 1000 survive and 200 of them are in this area. Most were simply plowed over so the land could produce productive crops. Little attention was paid by early settlers to the fact that these may have had religious significance to a large group of people. Many people couldn't believe Indians had been organized enough to have created the larger mounds such as those at Cahokia and believed they must have been constructed by some other group.
As mentioned above the mounds here are small, mostly round ones that were build between 1000 BC to 400 AD when the Late Woodland Indians began making effigy mounds mostly of bears and birds. The larger mounds such as those at Cahokia begun to be made after groups became more settled and had adopted an agricultural way of life growing corn and squash.

Many times in life, we are forced to choose between two or more options. It's not easy to make a decision, because everything you choose imprints on your life. It's easy to be overwhelmed in the moment and make a choice you regret. This article will guide you to approach problem solving so that you can make wise choices.
1Be calm and analyze the problem. Don't panic. Many poor decisions are made because people panic and don't think properly about the consequences of their decisions. Remaining calm and analyzing the options with a cool head is the best way to begin.
- Take your time and choose well, but remember that nobody is perfect; sometimes you might make a risky choice or end up picking a solution you regret, and that isn't the end of the world, either. Most moves in life aren't set in stone, and there's often, eventually a way to change course or resolve an unfortunate outcome, even if you make a choice you regret. There are choices that cannot ever be reversed though. Think about where a choice may lead you in the longer term, not just in there here and now. This is particularly important when it comes to life changing decisions such as starting a family, choosing a career or any choices with potentially dangerous outcomes such as serious injury or becoming involved in criminal activity.
2Consult people. Consultation helps you to organise your thoughts. When you are confused, talking about your options and the possible consequences can be one way to bring you back right on the track.
- Consult people you trust. When you are confused and can't come to a conclusion, ask the opinions of people you find trustworthy. Be it your parents or your best friends, they will be always ready to help you. Always remember that they are your supporters and always consider their opinions as a helping hand for you.
- Ask people who have been in the same boat or experienced the same choice. The ones who have already encountered such a situation will be the ones who can guide you the best under such circumstances. No two decisions or situations are identical, and a lot depends on the person, but you can still learn a lot from the experiences of others.
3Make a list of all the possible choices so that you stay organised and evaluate them.
- Eliminate choices by setting standards. Think about your requirements and strike all the choices that are not up to the mark.
- Don't worry about finding the "best." Have faith in yourself. You must make sure that all the choices are listed and then as you start eliminating ones that don't fit, you will soon be clear on which path to take.
4Think about both the positives and negatives of each choice. This is the most important aspect of making decisions. After all, it's your decision and you are the one who is going to be affected. Remember that positives and negatives are two sides of the same coin. Every choice is accompanied by its pros and cons, and you can handle even relatively severe negative consequences, but go with the choice which serves you the most, if you are selfish. Think of the effect your choices have on others. Choose wisely, considering outcomes for everyone affected.
5Don't over-think. It's always good to think about the after happenings but don't overdo it; instead just think about the major consequences and move on. Over-thinking only results in time and energy wasted.
- Keep your main analysis simple. Ask yourself questions like: "What will happen if go with this choice?", "What am I going to gain with this decision?", "What if something goes wrong?" etc. Once everything satisfies your choice, you are ready to take a responsible decision.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow can I choose whether to live with my mom or dad after the divorce?Community AnswerSeriously consider your options: would you rather live with your mom and visit your dad, or live with your dad and visit your mom? If one of those options sounds more appealing to you than the other, you should go with it. Alternatively, you could try to agree to a schedule that splits your time evenly between the two of them.
QuestionI am all ways bullied, and I get the choice to go to the safe place or do my schoolwork, how should I choose?Community AnswerMake your safe place your study place too, if possible, so you can do your homework. But if this doesn't work, sit with someone who can protect you as you are doing your homework. If push comes to shove, you may have to tell a teacher/someone you trust who can help you.
QuestionHow can I choose between staying in my job which offers good salary but a compressed work schedule or taking review upon review for my board exam, which I am not sure that I will pass?VYCommunity AnswerDepending upon your qualification, you can choose to give the exam or not. If your current course of study was instrumental in getting you that good paying job, then it is imperative that you give the exam a chance. Besides, a good employee is given consideration if they come back after taking their exams or after a study leave. However, once you rejoin, you have to communicate about your busy schedule like school with them more openly.

Poor performance. Unfortunate marketing.
Bottom Line
The Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2 motherboard, which is labeled ?Gamer?s Choice,? proves that you can?t believe everything you read.
The low-cost Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2 motherboard is also low on performance, expansion capability (4GB RAM max and nothing faster than DDR2-800?), andwith just four USB ports, one printer connector, and one COM portfeatures. That, coupled with an onboard-everything design, limits its uses to, say, acting as a home-server and possibly light-duty office applications. Considering that, out of five midrange motherboards I tested, it came in dead last on nearly every performance test, the company's mismarketing of the Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2 as a "Gamer's Choice" only adds insult to injury.

There is a fair degree of misplaced optimism about common property resource (CPR) management. In investigating common property issues for woodlands in communal areas in Zimbabwe, there are numerous case studies showing a breakdown of local institutions for CPR management, and the lack of any emerging alternative institutions for such management. There are a number of contributing economics, social and ecological factors to this phenomenon. This article argues that the formal rule-based systems that form the cornerstones of the proposed CPR systems are far removed from the current institutional systems, rooted in norm-based controls. It suggests that advocacy of CPR systems has to be tempered with critical analysis.

There has been a great deal of discussion about the role of females in modern society and whether or not women can have it all. Whichever side of the debate you fall on, the vast majority would agree that women have a unique and irreplaceable role to play. As International Women's Day on March 8th approaches, we at Simply CSOFT want to dedicate the whole month of March to celebrate the achievements of CSOFT's own women in leadership. Today, we spotlight our President and CEO Shunee Yee and her story of the most inspirational woman in her life, and the top three qualities every female leader should have.
Tell us about the woman in your life who has made the greatest impact on you.
That would be my late grandmother. She had incredible perseverance, a sense of confidence and peace, qualities that empowered her to raise four daughters on her own. My grandfather died when my grandmother was in her early thirties so she had to make ends meet by selling properties and starting a small business. I remember she was always brimming with positive energy and therefore able to handle all manner of relationship and keep the family together. Her calmness and generosity also inspired me. She always found a way to pay it forward and lend a hand to those who needed it.
What do you think are the top three qualities every female leader should have?
In Mr. Warren Buffett's recent succession planning meeting, he called for three qualities from any potential successor: rationality, calmness and decisiveness. So I would also like to recommend these traits. Every leader, regardless of gender, needs to have the ability to drive growth and, as Buffett said, "fight off the ABCs of business decay, which are arrogance, bureaucracy, and complacency."
What would you say to aspiring female entrepreneurs who are just starting out and hoping to climb the corporate ladder?
I think we all need to ask ourselves "What do I really want to accomplish with my life?" This question is so practical and crucial, especially for women because we often shoulder more of the burden of family and household responsibilities than men. Pursuing your career and raising a family are all wonderful things. It's just the matter of knowing what's important to you and making the best decisions for your life. After that, the practical thing to do is to plan ahead and make priorities which may change according to the different seasons of your life.
Some women think that being a "strong woman" means that you have to be independent like men and do things exactly the same way they do. The truth is that men and women are interdependent. We women are unique and contribute things in very different ways and their end result can be just as amazing as any man's.
Recognized for her drive, charisma and business acumen, Shunee is a recipient of the prestigious international Stevie Award for Best Asian Entrepreneur for Women in Business in 2009. She was also named by Globalization Today as a Top 25 Globalization Executive in 2011. In 2012, Yee was identified by Fortune Magazine as one of the technology industry's 36 most powerful disrupters, and one of Fortune's 2012 Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs.

Filming for We Have Always Lived in the Castle — Shirley Jackson's creepily atmospheric 1962 novel about how people haunt their own homes — began this week.
The big screen adaptation, which is being produced by Michael Douglas, stars Taissa Farmiga, Alexandra Daddario, Willem Dafoe and Sebastian Stan as the Blackwoods, social pariahs rumored to have poisoned their relatives with arsenic hidden in the familial sugar bowl.
Despite the fact that the cast is currently filming in Ireland, no release date has yet been set.
Is this all news to you? You're not alone, the impending adaptation was originally announced way back in August of 2009.
Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate. This edition features a new introduction by Jonathan Lethem.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Poor soil health is contributing to the development of serious black-grass problems on many farms. But there are cultivation and crop residue strategies which can help, says soil and tillage expert Steve Townsend. Abby Kellett reports.
Groundswell's first No-till Show and Conference, held in Hertfordshire, attracted growers practising no-till as well as those keen to observe any benefits which can be gained from the system.
One of the most important benefits identified was the reduction in black-grass germination as a result of minimal soil disturbance. However, long-term soil improvement also has a part to play in discouraging the weed, according to soil and tillage expert Steve Townsend.
He identified a lack of carbon in UK soils as [one of] 'the only problem with agriculture' and claimed no-till, along with crop residue cover and a diverse crop rotation, were important in rebuilding carbon levels to improve soils and reduce black-grass abundancy.
See also: Five pointers to stack the odds against black-grass
He said: "If you want long-term control, you need to change the environment you have created, because at the moment, we have an environment which is fantastic for growing black-grass.
"Fundamentally, you should think of weeds as an indicator and to me black-grass is an indication of cultivated, wet, anaerobic, sour soils, so we have to change these characteristics."
Cultivation of soils leads to oxidation, which is largely responsible for soil carbon loss, according to Mr Townsend.
"By ploughing deep, you basically lose the same amount of carbon as you would typically gain by chopping straw."
He said opting for a no-till system helps maintain carbon levels, which in turn improves drainage.
"If you improve carbon, you improve drainage which puts pressure on water-loving weeds such as black-grass."
Equally, he argued an increased worm number, which is seen as being an advantage of no-till systems, provides a form of natural drainage, making the soil dryer and less favourable to black-grass.
While some farmers cope with black-grass by burying the seed further down the soil profile, Mr Townsend said knowing where the weed seed is allows for best control.
Steve Townsend
"Black-grass is a 'cultivation junkie'. In no-till, you leave any seeds which might return on the soil surface, which is not good news for a black-grass plant because it wants to be mixed in with soil.
See also: Ultra-low disturbance methods help cut costs and increase black-grass control
"When it is mixed, residual herbicides cannot do their job. However, if you keep the seed in the right place, roots have to grow down through the residual herbicide."
It can take between three and 10 years before the full benefits of no-till can be recognised, but Steve Townsend warned when growers mix systems, they are not allowing these beneficial factors to accumulate.
Instead, he advised growers to stick to their chosen system, whether this be no-till, min-till or ploughing. He made it clear while raking and light disc cultivation is only light tillage, it is still minimum tillage and so weeds should be managed accordingly.
"Min-till needs consolidation and means frequently spraying off flush weeds. Not doing so would be a recipe for disaster."
Mr Townsend suggested using crop residue as a form of mulching and shading, which he said are both good forms of weed control.
"Black-grass needs a light flush to start its germination process, if it is in the dark, it doesn't get the encouragement to grow."
He said establishing cover crops either pre- or post-harvest provides further residue to reduce black-grass germination, but also improves soil drainage and soil organic matter.
See also: Cover crops: How are they best used?
More recent research suggested decomposing cover crops create an allelopathic effect, which can reduce black-grass germination, but there is a danger cash crop germination may also be affected.
Mr Townsend said: "There are six acids which are excreted from biology when they digest cover crop residue. All those have an effect on germinating seeds, whether they be weeds or your crop.
"This is why it is important to drill underneath this residue and why we need to leave black-grass seeds on top."
The assumption that calcium is the only nutrient which largely influences pH was described as 'the biggest lie in agriculture' by Steve Townsend.
"Magnesium and potassium have more of an influence on pH kilo for kilo than calcium does. I do not think we have been putting on enough calcium over the past 40 years.
"Calcium gets leached out of the soil profile, but magnesium does not and since magnesium tends to make soils wet, high magnesium soils can encourage the growth of black-grass.
"If you have a soil with a pH of lower than 7 and a magnesium index of 3 or above, you might be short of calcium."
By rectifying this, growers can help dry out their soils while still maintaining a favourable pH, according to Mr Townsend.
Whether it be cover crop residue or previous cash crop residue, he urged farmers to avoid incorporation when possible.
"Residue needs to be kept on the surface – you should not have to incorporate it, it should be done by worms and fungi, not with steel.
"By incorporating straw, you are preserving it. Have you ever cultivated straw you buried last year? If you have, it is telling you you have cultivated your straw too deep for your soil type.
"If you want to make your soil anaerobic, which is what black-grass loves, bury residue too deep because this is the quickest way to do it."

Anti-slip safety mats are designed to increase traction on floors and to reduce accidents in hazardous, slippery conditions. Whether made out of vinyl, rubber or ultimate traction carbide grit top mats they will solve the most difficult hazardous floor problems. Our drainage mats, kitchen mats and anti-slip safety mats, are designed specifically for areas where moisture and industrial fluids of all types are present. These mats allow water and debris to drain below the walking surface improving safety and reducing the potential for slips and falls. We also offer switchboard safety mats which will protect employees from high voltage electrical shocks. Switchboard mats prevent high voltage from grounding through a person's body which can cause injury or even death. In addition to our switchboard matting, we also carry ESD safety mats as well which drain static away from the people standing on them. This helps protect expensive electrical equipment from unintended static discharge and damage.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — In a rare show of unity, the government and opposition joined on Thursday to present the United States with a list of stringent demands, including an immediate end to C.I.A. drone strikes, that were cast in uncompromising words but could pave the way for a reopening of NATO supply lines through the country.
After two and a half weeks of contentious negotiations, the main parties agreed on a four-page parliamentary resolution that, in addition to the drone demand, called on the Obama administration to apologize for American airstrikes in November that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. It declared that "no overt or covert operations inside Pakistan shall be permitted" — a broad reference that could be interpreted to include all C.I.A. operations.
But on the issue of NATO supply lines, the resolution specified only that arms and ammunition cannot be transported through Pakistan, opening the door to the resumed delivery of critical Afghan war supplies like food and fuel for the first time since the November airstrikes. And in practice, arms and ammunition were rarely, if ever, transported in convoys through Pakistan.
"Today's resolution will enrich your respect and dignity; I assure you that we will get these enforced in letter and spirit," Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani told Parliament, although he stopped short of declaring when the supply route would reopen.
"We are a responsible nation," he said. "We know our obligations as well as the importance of the United States."Continue reading the main story
A spokeswoman for the State Department, Victoria Nuland, praised the "seriousness" of the Parliament's debate and added: "We seek a relationship with Pakistan that is enduring, strategic and more clearly defined. We look forward to discussing these policy recommendations."
Analysts said the resolution, which is essentially nonbinding but establishes a framework for private talks between senior American and Pakistani officials in the coming weeks, signals a new, more pragmatic chapter in relations between the two countries.
"This makes it easier for the government to negotiate with the U.S.," said Hasan Askari Rizvi, a defense expert based in Lahore. "That is why the government agreed to the opposition demand on drones."
Still, the demand for an "immediate cessation of drone strikes" has no easy solution. In 2008 Parliament also demanded an end to drone strikes, only for the C.I.A. to continue attacking Taliban and Al Qaeda targets in the tribal belt along the Afghan border.
The Obama administration considers the operations vital to disrupting terrorist and insurgent networks as well as protecting American troops at war in Afghanistan. For Pakistani politicians, however, drones have become a red-line domestic political issue because of public outrage.
The opposition, led by Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-N party, agreed to back Thursday's resolution in Parliament only if it contained unequivocal language about drones. The government agreed to the language because it needs broad cross-party support to negotiate a reopening of NATO supply lines — a measure that is privately considered necessary by the political and military leadership, but which enjoys little support among the general public.
"Now two things can happen," Mr. Askari Rizvi said. "If the drone strikes continue, it will embarrass the government. The other option is for the U.S. and Pakistan to evolve a new framework for the use of drone aircraft."
Among other measures, the resolution calls for the cessation of unauthorized American military ingress onto Pakistani soil, even for "hot pursuit."
It states that "no private security contractors or intelligence operatives shall be allowed" — a clear reference to longstanding popular fears that private security contractors are infiltrating the country on behalf of the C.I.A.
The resolution stressed that no verbal agreement regarding national security should be entered into by the government and all such earlier agreements "shall cease to have effect forthwith" — seemingly a reference to the way military deals have been made with the United States in the past. It repeated Pakistan's desire to obtain a civil nuclear deal from the United States, like the one awarded to India in 2005.
Other clauses dealt with broader foreign policy issues and urged the government to deepen its strategic partnership with China as well as strengthening relations with Russia and the European Union.
It urged Pakistan to actively pursue a gas pipeline project with Iran, despite opposition by the United States.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, said that all political parties wanted to have good relations with the United States but that "it cannot be an imbalanced relationship."
"You cannot have a relationship which is tilted toward one country," he said.Continue reading the main story

The thrilling sequel to "As You Wish" and "Illuminate the Shadows".
Pulled into a world of secrets and lies for the man he loves, Declan Ramsay's life has changed immeasurably in the eight months since meeting, and falling for his boss's son, Sam Aiken. Declan journey of personal discovery is about to take a darker turn, and for Sam, the world becomes more treacherous than he could ever have imagined.
Two agents are missing -- presumed dead, while on a reconnaissance mission at an outdoor adventure centre in the Scottish Highlands. Sir James Aiken sends his son and Declan to follow the trail, and discover the fate of the agents.
As the mission offers his first chance to use the skills he learned on the MI6 training course in Morocco, Declan is keen to get started. However, Sir James sees to it that the seeds of doubt and discord have been sewn between the couple, as they begin their mission.
The journey to their Highland location, and the discoveries they make when they reach the G'wan Adventures centre, prove that Sir James Aiken has been less than honest with his son. Events in the Highlands force Sam and Declan to face their greatest fears, and understand what they both really want from life -- and from each other.
Jewel's rating:
While I did enjoy the continuation of Declan's and Sam's story in Return To Zero, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Illuminate the Shadows. I liked it, and I liked that the story actually went somewhere and resolved things, but the journey there just didn't quite catch me like I hoped it would. As with Illuminate the Shadows, suspend your urge to disbelieve as soon as you start reading. This isn't anywhere close to a realistic spy novel, and I don't think it's meant to be.
In Return To Zero we see Sam and Declan have their first real fight (and we can thank Sam's father, once again, for coming between them). And Declan takes off, without a word. Bad form, Declan. It's bad enough you jumped to all kinds of conclusions, but you leave without a word? Is this how you handle all difficult situations? It doesn't exactly instill confidence in me regarding the longevity of your relationship with Sam.
Sam still alternates between a fun-loving boyfriend and a self sufficient secret agent so smoothly, you have to wonder if his entire existence is a lie. But he says that the only person that seen the "real" him is Declan, so I choose to go with that.
They both end up on a mission to find out what happened to two agents who disappeared while investigating a corporate retreat and that whole adventure gets intertwined with whoever is behind the red paracord in the previous book. In fact, we get two questions answered in Return To Zero -- who is behind the red paracord? And, what does that silver key go to?
The story was, in many ways, fun and entertaining, but there were a couple things that just annoyed me, and they, unfortunately, took a bit away from my overall enjoyment of the story.
Declan, even though he is a full fledged agent, now, periodically still has horrible self esteem issues and that got a bit tiring. It took so little for him to go into 'feel sorry for Declan' mode, that I kind of wanted to shake him. Also, he had a "cutsie" name for just about everything, and that really annoyed me. When, during intimacy, a character refers to a blowjob as a "blowie" or makes a comment like "hide the sausie", I find it too detracting and it makes me not want to take them seriously. Especially in matters of intimacy, it just makes me roll my eyes.
And while I thought this was going to be the last installment of Sam's and Declan's story, I was wrong! Their story will continue in Powder Burns, so that is something to look forward to.
ARC of Return to Zero was generously provided by the author, in exchange for an honest review.

Happy reading!

Cushion Cut Engagement Rings Are Back In Style
Choosing a diamond cut can be a confusing process. Every cut affects the look of a diamond differently depending on a variety of factors. From the color of the diamond to the clarity, and even to the color of the setting that you choose to put it in, it can be a lot to juggle. One particular cut has been gaining in popularity.
Cushion cut engagement rings have come back in style with their vintage feel and luxurious looks. Stars have helped bolster the trend with celebrities like Miley Cyrus rocking the antique look with her yellow-gold intricately designed ring by Neil Lane that features a gorgeous 3.5 carat cushion cut diamond.
While most of us may not be able to claim a ring budget that high, because of its classic style, the cushion cut is a great way to infuse any ring with elegance. In some ways though, choosing a cushion cut ring is a little more difficult. Because of the different styles of cushion cut and because of the way that this particular cut reflects light and shows the color of a diamond, choosing carefully and making an informed decision will be especially worth your time.
If the look of the cushion cut makes you think of a time of romance, beauty, style, and poise, that's because it is one of the oldest cuts and is traditionally seen in genuine antique rings. Invented almost two hundred years ago, the cushion cut use to be known as an "old mine" cut. Today we know it as the cushion cut because it resembles, of course, a cushion or pillow.
Although others may try to sway you out of this cut because it is not considered as "brilliant" as a round cut, it does have unique qualities that allow it to reflect lights in its own beautiful way that can either appear as pure white light or as a rainbow. A cushion cut is also one of the most modifiable cuts, and one that can be the most personal because of this.
One of the most obvious ways that cushion cut engagement rings can differ is not just the size of the stone but the shape of the specific cut. Unlike asscher cut engagement rings, cushion cut has some flexibility in the width/length ratio. Depending on what you prefer, you can get a cushion cut engagement ring that features a more square or more rectangular diamond. This is probably the first decision you should make about your preferences when shopping for a cushion cut stone. Check out some cushion cut engagement ring pictures around the web for a sense of what the different shape options are.
Things get even more complicated when you begin to think about the technical details of the cut of a specific cushion cut diamond. If you just want a cushion cut engagement ring and you don't want to worry about all these minute details, you can still walk away with a beautiful ring, especially if you look around online and compare from a variety. If, however, you want to pick precisely the look you love, then you need to know a few key terms. The first one that you may hear is the difference between a "standard" cushion cut and a "modified" cut.
Yes, there are differences between these two styles of diamonds. However, unlike what many would have you believe, the difference between these two styles is not synonymous with the difference between a "chunky" or a "crushed ice" look. When you look through a cushion cut engagement ring from the top that is when you will be able to see the difference between these two styles.
While a chunky cushion cut engagement ring will show off the facets, or the pattern of cuts, of the diamond; a crushed ice look will not. When looking at a crushed ice diamond, you generally will not be able to discern a pattern and while this is technically considered less ideal, it does create a beautifully unique look to each individual diamond. One thing that doesn't change though is that because of the wide style of a cushion cut engagement ring it is recommended to choose the highest color and clarity possible.
If you feel like you have seen the cushion cut in a host of bright and bold colors, that's because this cut is especially popular for gemstones. In fact, one possibility when choosing a cushion cut engagement ring is to ditch the diamond idea and go with something fabulously off the beaten path like a cushion cut sapphire engagement ring.
The reason that this cut is so well suited to gemstones is because the design of the cut, the stone will keep and project its color more strongly than other cuts. While this is great for a blazing red ruby or a vivid emerald, being able to see the color of a diamond is considered a negative trait. It is especially important to choose the highest color grading you can afford with a cushion cut engagement ring.
The only exception to this rule is if you plan to set the diamond in yellow gold. Lower color grade diamonds tend to show off a yellow tint which can be magnified by the cushion cut. However, this magnification can be offset by a yellow gold setting, which also adds a nice vintage feel to the ring. If you plan to set it in white gold or platinum though, try to get a diamond with at least an H rating, but preferably a G or better.
While we're addressing settings, it's important to know that whatever setting you choose, remember that a cushion cut stone must be set in at least a four prong setting. While a cushion cut solitaire engagement ring is absolutely stunning and shows off the diamond without any distractions, cushion cut engagement rings are well suited for a pave setting. For example, Tacori offers a wide range of pave settings featuring cushion cut diamonds that give the illusion of a ring made solely of diamonds. They even offer micro pave engagement rings which mean that the diamonds are placed even closer together for a breathtaking illusion of a singular diamond band.
Speaking of retailers, while it is of course best to see anything in person, searching online is notably more fruitful when searching for a cushion cut ring than other cuts because this cut is still on the rise to popularity while others are more established. Be sure you can see a real up-close photograph though; otherwise you won't be able to distinguish the finer details of the diamond that we've discussed.

Year Two - 731 Days
And so it dawns the second year, 731 days. It's still a shock, its still hurts like nothing I've ever felt before, but this year something has changed.
Time has certainly helped, but at times is still a hindrance and as every year goes by we all heal a little more.
So it is time to finally set this body of work free, let it breath for itself and be honest ad true in its unedited entirety. I can't say more than this was something that was so important in the process, my process and I feel it shows what happened, how I felt, how I feel without edits or ego. It simply uses photography as a process to aid my grief and nothing more.
To my dearest friend, I love you and will never forget you. You showed me how simple it needs to me, and how to believe, for that and everything else you stood for, this body of work and everything else I ever make will have you in it and be inspired by you. Thank You.

Book Survey Challenge: Day 6 Fictional Character You Would Have Dated in High School
This is my challenge for October. Since it is only has 26 days, I chose to start it early. The original survey can be found at The Inky Corner. I modified it to fit my blog better. Feel free to join in!
Day 6: Fictional character you would have dated in high school
This is a hard one to answer because I honestly didn't date in high school. I genuinely really didn't care about boys in high school, or dating. Even when I got out of high school, I really wasn't that interested. I seriously thought I was asexual for awhile. Then I just realized that I am demisexual, introverted, and hate people.
But back to the question. There aren't too many characters I would actually wanted to date. I am trying to think of every character I have ever read, and I can't really think of anyone specifically. I finally decided on Charlie Bone from his self titled series, mainly because most of the novels I read have very adult themes and I couldn't have cared less about that when I was a high schooler. Judge me if you dare!

Justin Quinn, 33, of Fresno, California claimed Atlanta pitching coach Roger McDowell used homophobic slurs, made sexual gestures, and threatened him with a baseball bat during practice before the April 23 game against the San Francisco Giants.
On Wednesday, Quinn held a news conference with famed attorney Gloria Allred in Los Angeles. Allred said Quinn heard McDowell say: "Are you guys a homo couple or a threesome?" The coach apparently then used the bat in a manner "simulating sex." The coach then alleged threatened Quinn with the bat: "How much are your teeth worth?" Quinn was attending the game with his wife and 9-year-old twin daughters at AT&T Park in San Francisco when the incident occurred.
GLAAD also jumped on the incident and reported Thursday that McDowell issued an apology late Wednesday: "I am deeply sorry that I responded to the heckling fans in San Francisco on Saturday. I apologize to everyone for my actions." GLAAD wants disciplinary actions.

Capitol Hill interns posed for this selfie with Speaker Paul Ryan. As this 2-minute video shows, the lack of diversity among interns has an impact on the composition of congressional staff and top staff, who make decisions that shape our nation as a whole. .
Recently, the Joint Center released a report on Racial Diversity Among Top Senate Staff. We found that although African Americans, AAPIs, Latinos, and Native Americans make up 36% of the U.S. population, they only make up 7% of top Senate staff (African Americans make up 1%, and Latinos 2%). This is an issue for both Democrats and Republicans.

After having trained Gallente Drone Specialization to level five, I was a bit stuck for what to train next. As I'm still improving my PvP ability, I decided to have a look around for some Myrmidon PvP setups to see where I could improve and if there were any more skills I could train. After a few minutes, I found one with some Tech II Heavy Electron Blasters. Which reminded me that my original intention was to have Heavy Electron Blaster II's fitted and I only have Tech I Heavy Electron Blasters because I couldn't use the Tech II versions.
So, here's my current skill plan; starting with the skill I'm currently training.
Skill plan for Godlesswanderer
1. Motion Prediction IV (2 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes, 55 seconds)
2. Small Hybrid Turret IV (1 day, 1 hour, 39 minutes, 27 seconds)
3. Small Hybrid Turret V (6 days, 1 hour, 8 minutes, 28 seconds)
4. Small Blaster Specialization I (30 minutes, 59 seconds)
5. Small Blaster Specialization II (2 hours, 24 minutes, 20 seconds)
6. Small Blaster Specialization III (13 hours, 36 minutes, 24 seconds)
7. Small Blaster Specialization IV (3 days, 4 hours, 58 minutes, 23 seconds)
8. Medium Hybrid Turret V (18 days, 3 hours, 25 minutes, 24 seconds)
9. Medium Blaster Specialization I (51 minutes, 39 seconds)
Total time: 31 days, 7 hours, 54 minutes, 2 seconds
I've started listening to EVE Radio again. I haven't listened in so long, so it was confusing listening to the new DJs and not hearing some of the old ones. I happened to tune in yesterday, minutes away from the end of a lottery in which the prize fund was 1.2 billion ISK. As the tickets were 1 million ISK each, I sent 1 million to Codey28 (the EVE Radio DJ on air at the time) but unfortunately I didn't win.
If any EVE players reading this don't listen to EVE Radio, I highly recommend you check it out. The majority of DJ's play all sorts of music so if you like everything (like me) you'll love every slot but if you only like a few music genres, there's bound to be at least one DJ that'll cater to your tastes. If you're more likely to listen for give-aways and the like, almost every DJ holds at least one competition or lottery per slot. Prizes generally tend to be ships, somewhat rare equipment or ISK; so chances are you'll find something you want to win.
You can find the EVE Radio website here and to start listening, all you need to do is click the "Tune In" button which you can find above the main menu.

Ticks are bloodsucking mites. Many of them are carriers of disease.
We took a closer look at the tools ticks use to get our blood.
How does the tick find us? )
In the last leg segment of the first leg pair (4) there is a pit, the Hall organ (e). It contains chemoreceptors that enable the tick to find the host.
At the end of each leg (4,5) - it has 8 of them - are the claws with two claws each (d). With these claws the tick can hold on to itself
How does the tick get our blood? )
Next to the head there are 2 buttons, the palps (a). Once she has found the right place to prick, she uses 2 knives, the Cheliceren(c)to scratch our skin. It is then inserted into the wound with the dowel-like hypostome (b). The blood exuding from the wound then licks them up.
The tick from picture 1 crawled around on the microscopist. We had her in the microscope. Nice to see is the mouthpiece with an intact hypostome.
In the 2nd tick (picture 2) there are still remains of skin on the hypostome: it had stung the microscopist and came straight into the scanning electron microscope for punishment.
The same thing happened to the tick in Fig. 3, but the microscopist was unlucky: the hypostome broke off (b) and got stuck in the skin. The view is clear on the small knives/chelicers (c)

The Only Data Warehouse Built for the Cloud
AWH is proud to partner with Snowflake, the only data warehouse built for the cloud.
Conventional data warehouses and big data solutions increasingly struggle to deliver on their fundamental purpose: to make it easy to amass all your data, enable rapid analytics, and quickly make data insights available to all your users, consumers and systems that need them.
To solve that, Snowflake has built a new SQL data warehouse from the ground up for the cloud, one designed with a patented new architecture to handle today's and tomorrow's data and analytics. The result? A data warehouse that delivers performance, simplicity, concurrency and affordability not possible with other data analytics platforms.
Snowflake changes the way you think about data warehousing. Watch this short video to learn how a unique approach and architecture allow Snowflake to address the challenges of today's data and analytics.
Snowflake was built with broad support for standard SQL so that you can leverage your current skills and tools. Updates, deletes, analytical functions, transactions and complex joins give you the full capabilities you need to make use of your data.
Snowflake eliminates the administration and management demands of traditional data warehouses and big data platforms. Snowflake is a true data warehouse as a service running in the cloud - there's no infrastructure to manage or knobs to turn. Snowflake automatically handles infrastructure, optimization, availability, data protection and more so that you can focus on using your data.
Snowflake understands all your business data, whether from traditional sources or newer machine-generated sources, without requiring cumbersome transformations and tradeoffs. Snowflake's patented technology natively loads and optimizes both structured and semi-structured data like JSON, Avro, or XML and makes it available via SQL without sacrificing performance or flexibility.
Snowflake processes reports and analytics at lightning speed because our columnar database engine uses advanced optimizations to efficiently crunch data. Combine that with our ability to scale up and down on the fly and you get exactly the performance you need, exactly when you need it.
Snowflake's patented multi-cluster, shared data architecture separates storage and compute, making it possible to scale up and down on-the-fly, without downtime or disruption. Automatically scale to support any scale of data, workload, and concurrent users and applications without requiring data movement, data marts, or data copies.
You can rapidly integrate Snowflake with custom and packaged tools and applications. Our native and standards-based connectors including ODBC, JDBC, Javascript, Python, Spark, R, and Node.js unlock the power of cloud data warehousing for developers and tools using a variety of tools, languages, and frameworks.
Usage-based pricing for compute and storage means that you only pay for the amount of data you store and the amount of processing performed. No more big upfront costs, overprovisioned systems, or idle clusters consuming money.
Snowflake was built to take advantage of the cloud from the start. Our innovative Data Warehouse as a Service enables you to share access to a specified and secure set of data with whoever you'd like without copying or deconstructing data.
There's no better way to see how Snowflake can help you get more from your data than by seeing the product in action. Watch this short video to see how real-life organizations are using Snowflake to combine their disparate data and enable their team.
We'd Love to Hear From You

weekend with the girls
I'm down in San Diego for the weekend, spending lots of time with my bestest girlfriends from college and celebrating our first baby on the way. The mama-to-be, Laura, came in from Georgia, Nikki flew in from Switzerland, Joy is down from San Fran… But we'll miss our reps from Washington, Hawaii, and Australia. Plus some of us are boring and just drove down from LA. We're so spread out in our advancing age but it's nice to come together whenever we can manage and just laugh for the entire weekend.
We'll be eating lots of eggs (and squash), so here… you can virtually share with us.
Happy weekending.

New restrictive abortion law is proposed by the Government of the Republic of Macedonia
May 29, 2013 Leave a comment
A couple of days ago the Government of Macedonia proposed to Parliament a new Abortion Law. The new Abortion Law has a number of articles which are restrictive and dimish the right of women to have free access to abortion.
The Government proposes that the law goes through an urgent procedure, because they state, it is not a systemic law and the issues that are covered are not disputable. Today when the Minister of Health addressed Parliament said that in the law there are no new aspects introduced and that only issues from the old law are better regulated. The Minister also pointed out that this law is proposed due to the protection of the women's health. The majority of the MPs voted for the new law to go through urgent procedure.
The new law on abortion introduces new mechanisms that are obstacles for free access to abortion. In short below are the restrictive aspects of the new l
A woman needs to submit a written application in order the pregnancy to be terminated ,aw:
- A woman needs to give a written consent approval the procedure to be done ,
- mandatory pre-abortion counseling ,
- the partner (the husband) is to be informed about the procedure,
- mandatory waiting period of three days after the pre-abortion counseling,
- submitting a confirmation from the doctor is necessary
The whole law gives significant discretionary power to the Minister of Health,
and the makes the whole system highly centralized.
These are only the main restrictive aspects of the new law.
The law is in parliamentary procedure and the next discussion in the commission is in two days time.

Situated in north western Cambodia and founded in the 11th century, Battambang, capital city of Battambang province, is now known for being the leading rice-producing province of the country. It is set up along the Sangke River and the presence of some of the best preserved French colonial architecture creates a similar town atmosphere comparable to this found in southern Kampot town.
Recently the dining options in & around town have become varied with anything from Western over pizza and Chinese to Khmer, fine dining, steak and BBQ on the menus. Battambang provides excellent opportunities for small tours and is a great base to leave on longer day trips to Pailin town (84km) and to explore the north western Cardamom Mountains and Thai order area. Most popular among tourists and locals are visits to the hill temple of Phnom Sampov, relaxing around Kamping Puoy lake and exploring Wat Banan and other Angkorian temples in the vicinity. For the more adventurous and fit traveler, kayaking is on offer and mountain bike trips can be arranged. Ask around in guesthouses in town to find out how to book these activities.
When in town try not to miss out on a show by the Phare Ponleu Selpak circus troupes, 1.5km out of town. An amazing project for street children that books international success. If you plan to catch the bamboo train then you'd rather be in a hurry as the Cambodian railway rehabilitation will force its operations to halt forever sooner or later …

MumAbroad was founded by Rebecca Laidlaw, an Internet Marketing consultant & Carrie Frais, a Journalist and PR executive. Carrie lives in Barcelona and is Mum to Poppy and Bertie and Rebecca lives in Oxfordshire (UK) and has 3 children, Ollie , Sophie and Theo . "In 2007, we were both living in the beautiful city of Barcelona, having each just given birth to our first child. With no extended family to help with childcare, we looked for other resources to help guide us through this challenging period of our lives. We were surprised at how difficult it was to find easily accessible information about activities and services for parents. It soon became apparent that there was a growing niche for an English language website which would offer parents from the International Community valuable information such as child-related services, schools, family activities, shops, family holidays and restaurants. After extensive research and the help of scores of mothers, Barcelona Mum was born, offering a comprehensive and personalized guide to family life in Barcelona. Within a few months MumAbroad Spain was launched, incorporating the whole of Catalunya and subsequently Madrid, Andalucia, the Costa Blanca and the Balearics. As the site gained momentum, MumAbroad France, MumAbroad Italy and MumAbroad Germany were established and in 2014 the four sites were amalgamated under one roof. We believe that, in the majority of cases, parents are the best judge of anything child-related, so that is why our site is based purely on recommendation. Every service, group or activity on our website has been recommended by at least one Mum or Dad. In our interview section, you can read about other mums' experiences of living abroad as well as interviews with a host of childhood experts. In our Women in Business section, we've discovered some inspirational ladies, who have established successful businesses in and created a life for themselves, many of whom have had to juggle work and family life. Our forum allows parents to share concerns, offer advice, advertise services, buy & sell items and virtually meet others in an online community."
