Tableau 9.2 is right around the corner and one of the biggest changes on the Server side will be an updated toolbar. There is now an Undo and Redo button, and everything has been rearranged in a logical manner. The buttons that appear or disappear based on permissions are now on the right. And all of the export and download buttons are now combined together into a Download drop down menu.
Also, it's gray. The toolbar has been white for a long time but it's 100% gray in Tableau 9.2
What isn't changing? The Download/Save As permission is still one single permission, so if you are exposing Tableau to the outside world and want to allow Web Edit but not Downloading, you'll still need to hide the toolbar and recreate all of the functionality you want to enable. But with a little ingenuity, we can pinpoint exactly what we'd like to hide and really control what we keep and what we hide.
Note: Everything after here is unsupported by Tableau Support. If you make any changes to files, expect them to be overwritten with each update you do, so create a process for saving and then reintroducing your changes to subsequent upgraded versions. Also, these could change at any time with further changes to Tableau Server.
If you don't see changes you've put in place, you may need work around caching — see this guide.
Tableau Server Essentials
When you look at a Viz in Tableau Server, and it is not embedded, you are actually seeing two different processes:
- vizportal : This is all of the UI (menus, toolbars) that you do not see when you have embedded a viz. It was introduced in 9.0 as the replacement for the earlier wgserver process (wgserver is still running though doing other things)
- vizqlserver: The server version of vizql. It renders everything you see when the viz is embedded (and the same portion when not embedded), and the Web Edit view. This includes the toolbar on top of the viz and all of the UI of the Web Edit.
Why does this matter? The directories where the CSS files live for the two processes are different.
vizqlserver's CSS directory will look something like:
C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.2\vizqlserver\public\v_92001510281752\css\
Obviously the 'v_…' portion changes with each upgrade.
vizportal's CSS directory looks like:
C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.2\vizportalclient\public\
You'll notice in both of these directories that there is a .gz version of almost each file. Tableau Server is configured to serve up the .gz version of the files if they exist. So when you are editing and trying to test your changes, you'll want to rename those .gz files to end with .gz.original, and then eventually create a new .gz file from your modified CSS file. You should also always copy out the original .css files by appending .original to a copy.
The rest of this post will concern vizqlserver – the viz and web edit. A second post will cover changes in vizportal.
2018.3+ updates
If you want to remove the Download Workbook options that are visible in vizportal, make the following additions to vizportal.css, which you can find in C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\packages\vizportalclient.{release number }\public\ :
Embedded Viz (not Web Edit) Modifications
The CSS of the viz is stored in vqlweb.css in the vizqlserver css directory. This CSS file is in the format of a single long line of CSS selectors. Throw on word wrap in your text editor, go to the bottom and start appending new rules to change what you don't like. I find Chrome's developer tools to be the most convenient for identifying the actual areas on the page and the CSS rules that affect them, but it's possible to do the same research with the other browsers as well.
Toolbar Color
Let's say the gray toolbar greatly clashes with the rest of your colors and you'd like to try your chance with white or a nice beige. The necessary selector i:
And the text next to all the icons is controlled with
Hiding Parts of the Toolbar
You've always been able to hide the whole toolbar, either through the URL parameter ':toolbar=none' or through the 'toolbar : no' option in the options object you use when initiating the Viz object through the JS API. You can then create your own UI for any of the features using JS API methods.
None of that changes in 9.2, but there are additional Undo and Redo buttons that exist in 9.2 that do not have any JS API methods. So if you remove the toolbar entirely, you lose out on that new functionality. What if we only wanted to hide the left side? The left side of the toolbar is contained in a div with the "tab-nonVizItems" class, but the actual selector you need in the CSS file is (in that order, including the space between the two class selectors):
.tab-toolbar .tab-nonVizItems{visibility:hidden;}
Hiding the whole left side is the best we can do, because the sections for each button within this side of the toolbar do not have distinctive class names that would allow individual buttons to be turned off. Each just has '.tabToolbarButton .tab-widget' as class selectors, so doing any modification would apply to all of them.
Update: With some more advanced CSS selectors, you can hide elements from left to right in this menu using the following pattern:
.tab-nonVizItems > div + div + div + div + div{visibility:hidden;}
Basically, this says the fifth element (which happens to be the "Download" menu DIV), should be hidden. You can keep taking away the "+ div" to hide more and more.
With some experimentation, different combinations can be added to decide just what you would like to show:
.tab-nonVizItems > div + div + div + div + div{visibility:hidden;}
.tab-nonVizItems > div + div + div {visibility:hidden;}
.tab-nonVizItems > div + div + div + div {visibility:visible;}
This has the effect of showing "Subscribe", "Customer Views" and "Share".
Hiding Elements of the 9.2 Download Menu
In 9.2, the "export image / pdf" button has been combined with Download workbook into a single menu that pops up under "Download". Each of these items is defined well enough to hide via CSS.
The link "Tableau Workbook"
Hiding Elements in the 2018.3+ Download Menu
In later versions of Tableau, the Download menu is actually a "modal window" rather than drop-down menu, and the locations have changed. The following CSS added to the end of the vqlweb.css file will remove the "Tableau Workbook" option:
.tab-downloadDialog > div + div + div + div + div{visibility:hidden;}.tab-downloadDialog > div + div + div + div + div + div {visibility:visible;}
Web Edit Modifications
As seen in the guide to embedding Web Edit into an iframe, Web Edit mode was really intended to stand alone, and it holds on to some aspects of Tableau branding beyond the other embedded views.
The CSS file for Web Edit lives in the same directory as that for the regular embedded view:
C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.2\vizqlserver\public\v_92001510281752\css\vqlauthoringweb.css
Remember to change the name of the .gz version and save your originals for reference.
Tableau Icon in Top Left
The most blatant branding break is the small Tableau icon in the top left. There is currently no command to change this image. However, it is simply served from
C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.2\wgserver\public\images\tableau-icon.gif
so you can make changes there, perhaps replacing it with a small version of your own logo.
Alternatively, you can hide the icon entirely via
Help and Drop-down Menu in Top Right
The other piece of web edit that we often hear requests to hide is in the top right. There is a help menu and another drop down that shows the name of the user. This drop-down menu has two options "User Preferences" and "Sign Out". Since often you are managing user credentials and login from the overall web application rather than Tableau, giving users these options can be confusing and lead to a poor user experience.
To remove the whole section:
There is no way to distinguish between the Help and the Drop-Down, or the individual items. If you're going to hide, you'll need to hide the whole thing.
If you are embedding this view into an iframe, it is possible that the color scheme of the title bars might not fit into your design very well. There are two bars, which I am going to call the 'Top Bar' and the 'Toolbar'. Internally, it seems the Top Bar is called the "Masthead', so the CSS classes related to it have the word Masthead in their name.
Top Bar
The overall Top Bar div has the class
from which you can control the color with the background-color property.
Within this area, the text links (Save, Save As, Done) are controlled via:
These buttons all have a hover-over effect as well, which are set via:
The first text in the Top Bar is the name of the workbook. Its font settings can be set via:
If you are completely disabling download functionality, you need to add the following so that the button won't appear (note the lack of spacing, this is essential):
.tabToolbarButton.tab-widget.export {visibility: hidden;}
The Toolbar area's main CSS selector, where you can change the background color
If you do change the toolbar color, then you will still see the grey hover-over action when someone mouses over a button. This color is controlled via:
.tabAuthToolbar .tabToolbarButton.hover
I don't advise changing any of the text color within the actual buttons, but the selector for it is:
In 2018.3+
To remove the Download Tableau Workbook option, add the following to vqlauthoringweb.css:
.tabAuthToolbar-exportContextMenu > .tabMenuContent > div + div + div + div{visibility:hidden;}
You may also want to update vqlauthoringmobile.css:
.tabAuthToolbar-exportContextMenu > div > .tabMenuContent > div + div + div + div + div{visibility:hidden;}
Other Elements
I really don't advise these, but here they are if you want to experiment.
When you click on Save or Save As, the buttons in that popup box have the nice Tableau orange color. If you feel the need to change this, there are actually there spans to used create each button:
There are likely other selectors to deal with too, on the hover and select, so you'll have to do more to get it looking clean.
There is also a gray area around the edges of the web edit area when looking at a Dashboard (new in 9.2). This seems to actually be from the body tag, so you can just straight up set a new selector on body to change that color, but it also changes some of the background when editing a sheet. As I mentioned, not really advised but these are the paths to go down if you do want to try more advanced modifications.
I'll repeat again, as always, this is unofficial and could change with any given upgrade, without warning. You should always reintroduce your changes into the newly created CSS from the most recent version of Tableau after an upgrade, rather than moving your changed file from one version to the next.

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young." ~Henry Ford
This is a huge WOW! This teacher whom I follow on Twitter (@MrsEvon1) is sharing how her 4th grade students are using their ipads in a 1:1 environment. All throughout the day the technology and creativity is embedded in their learning and in everything that they are doing. It is truly amazing. Just because you might not be using ipads does not mean you cannot do what she, is doing. Many of the apps that she is using are also websites (Haikudeck, Vocabulary and Spelling City, Storyline Online, Kidblog, Quizlet, Wonderopolis; the ones that are not also web-based can easily be found in other tools).
I especially like the ipad menu of activities that Mrs. Evon is using to keep her students responsible for their learning.
You know how much I love all things Google. Well, Google has another new add-on which will make using Google forms for sign-ups like appointment times or bake sale donations even better. Now Google has added Choice Eliminator— when a selection is made that should no longer be available, Choice Eliminator gets rid of it. Now you will no longer have 5 people bringing paper plates or signing up for the 4:00 appointment. Yay!
More Google (because we could all use more Google in our life)- this from Kyle Pace in my Feedly (used to be Google Reader but, alas, sadly, that went). Anyway, when you go to Create something in Google Drive, your default choices are Folder, Doc, Sheet, Slides, Drawing, and Form; but if you look closely, you will see at the bottom of that list, "Connect More Apps." There are many wonderful apps that once connected, can offer you and your students a lot of benefits and assistance. You can find the ones that Kyle B. Pace recommends here. I am a fan of Lucidchart, Pixlr, and Powtoons, but there are really so many options.
This next set of tools are great! I came across Wideo over the weekend, and have had it open in a tab so I could try it out (still open, am going to help my daughter make a math video for her class). Then I saw that Richard Byrne, aka Free Tech 4 Teachers, had a nice post about this and 2 other video creating sites. I have used We Video and found it fairly easy, but I have not tried Magisto (which seems to me to be similar to the easy and simple-to-use Animoto which I and my 5th grade students love). Anyway, you can read here about all 3 sites that will allow you to create your videos in the cloud (aka Web-based) then easily share them or embed them. I would say that in order of ease-of-use you should try Animoto, Magisto, We Video, then Wideo (which makes animated-style videos).
Last, for our folks teaching current events or doing current events with your students, here is Newsela— a site that allows you to search for topics by grade level, reading standard, or quizzed articles. You can sign up and create a classroom for your students and assign them articles, or just make it a job for our student to bring a piece of news to your morning circle.
Looking for more classroom jobs? Have a class public relations person tweet out what your class is learning. Have an historian of the day find out what happened on this day in history and see that today is not just another ordinary day. I have more ideas but if you have been reading and you got to this point, you can ask me.

nextwall – idee07 – Video
Documentation about the "nextwall" Project by Idee07.
On 10 April 2007 the green light was given: for five days the creation of the 30-metre long "nextwall" graffiti created by DAIM, SEAK, TASEK, Daddy Cool and DESUR was broadcast live on the Internet.
Lots of creative ideas on and along with the nextwall are to follow until the end of 2008. These include, for example, a mobile phone guide that explains details of the graffiti to the user; or the "I was here" camera, with which visitors can immortalize themselves on the Internet. In addition, some of the very latest technologies will be tried out: from object recognition and RFID to laser projection.

If you are trying to get pregnant, you may be well aware that it can take awhile. It's not usual for it to take women up to a year or more to get pregnant. There are some steps you can take to increase your changes of getting pregnant.
Use an ovulation predictor kit. There is only a finite period of time each month when you can get pregnant, and this is around your ovulation time. It is estimated that a woman is fertile between five to seven days each month. Ovulation predictor kits detect luteinizing hormone, commonly known as LH, in your urine. Directly prior to ovulation, women experience an increase in LH. Since the kit detects this rise, you can then predict that you are about to ovulate.
Have sex on the days during your predicted ovulation window. To increase your chances of getting pregnant, have sex directly before, during and directly following your predicted ovulation date. Having sex two to three times per week can help assure you have sex during your fertility window.
Be healthy. Avoid cigarettes, alcohol and drugs while you are trying to get pregnant. All these substances have been shown to affect fertility. In addition, they can harm your unborn baby if you do become pregnant.
Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Poor nutrition can decrease fertility chances. Make sure you consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and vitamins. While you can take a multi-vitamin, it's wise to get as much nutrition as possible from fresh food. This is true for both men and women while trying to conceive.
Have fun. Stress can seriously impede your chances of getting pregnant. The process of making a baby should be fun, so don't let the pressure of trying to conceive wear on you. Know that stress can hinder ovulation and lower sperm counts, so try to incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily life.
Things You Will Need
- Ovulation predictor kit
- Healthy diet
If you have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year without success, schedule an appointment with a fertility doctor. He will be able to help you assess the issue. Keep your body healthy. A healthy body will be able to conceive much more easily. Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest and incorporate exercise into your daily routine.
Women of childbearing age should ingest 400 micrograms of synthetic folic acid daily. This will help prevent birth defects in your baby should you become pregnant.

So within the 3 days I stayed in Toronto, I bascially was on a crazy countdown. There were so much to do!! I unpacked all my stuff from Hong Kong (I still don't know how I fitted everything in there, I'm not even done with my HK haul posts).
I also finished all the paperwork for my new school. Yup, I recently got accepted to Seneca for a graduate certificate program with co-op. I'm hoping to get my CHRP soon :) When I applied to the school, they said only 24 of the 2000+ applicants can get a coop option in the program. So, I feel quite fortunate to have been selected, the hardwork surely paid off :)
I then started to pack for the cruise, which I will briefly show in the next post. =)
Let's see what I saw when I got home!!!! =))
Lots of outstanding eyeliners! I can't wait! Super glad they popped in a skincare product in there, I am always running out of hydrating gels! Thank you Isabel, always paying attention to details *so sweet*!
Entire Nutri-Sleek line, I'm TRES excited!
Do they read minds? I've been wanting the Face primer since I found a sample in a magazine (which was like forever ago)! I never got around to finishing my current one so I didn't budge. and SUPRISE! =)
The Contest kit for L'Oreal Paris' Bold Eye Beauty Blogger Contest!
Basically we are to make a video on Youtube or blog about a look created by these products!
There's a bunch of rules and stuff which (pst, I havent read yet) but I do know the deadline is September 12, 2011. I'm pretty sure I'll finally have an idea of what I want to do once I come back from my cruise on Sept 4th. :)
To win, my entry will be judged by all the big, and talented people which hasn't been all formally named yet and of course YOU!! Hopefully I will have your support :)! I'm sure there are so many talented people out there so I'll just have fun with the process :)
More details later! Enjoy Life!
Feeling Blessed and Thankful,

Twitter's always known the power of its mobile user base, so a recent update to its Android and iPhone apps makes it easier to search. The update addresses the growing number of people tweeting via mobile devices, bringing the familiar website's "Discover" tab to their mobile app. With this you'll see which of your tweets have been favorited or retweeted, who your followers are following and who's being added to their lists. The Twitter search function has also been improved to display suggestions for different spellings, as well as related terms for your queries.
Another familiar site feature that's made its way to mobile is the "Connect" tab, set to auto-complete the entry as you type a user's first and last name. Twitter also added push notifications for interactions, so you'll see when you've been followed, retweeted or favorited. These levels of push notifications can be adjusted in the settings.
Amazon, Samsung rule the Android market
Twitter's mobile upgrade reflects a growing trend shifting from the PC web to connected devices, a trend driven by the success of Android gadget makers like Amazon and Samsung. According to the latest figures from market research comScore, Amazon's Kindle Fire has gained 54.4 percent of the U.S. Android tablet market. And while Samsung trails far behind the tablet market with just 15.4 percent, their global smartphone footprint has eclipsed Apple and Nokia in recent months.
Samsung's become the world's biggest mobile handset vendor for the first time ever in the first quarter of 2012, taking a quarter of the global market, according to a report released this morning by London-based research firm Strategy Analytics. In the quarter ending March 2012, the South Korean electronics giant shipped 36 percent more handsets than last year. Their success is a big win for Android, with tripled demand for its Galaxy line up. That's good news for Samsung as it prepares to reveal its latest Galaxy device next month.

Project Chocolate Cake – Cake no 1August 21, 2011
Project Chocolate Cake begins. I have 41 days until my Dad's 80th Birthday party for which he has asked me to make the cake(s). There will be 40 or so guests and the party is being catered, so I'm aiming for 2 – 3 large bunts which should allow for enough cake to go round and room for all those candles.
He's helpfully requested a chocolate cake saying 'You remember that one you made me once? That was lovely'. Not the most helpful of descriptions for someone with a three cake a week baking habit, I was also fairly sure he would want a ginger or fruit cake, so the chocolate request has thrown me somewhat.
The party is on a Sunday afternoon and with family and friends arriving over the weekend the cakes will have to be baked on the Friday – keepability is going to be an important factor. A moist and dense cake, something 'fudgy' to allow for good slicing might be needed. But then again after the food that will be on offer during the afternoon, perhaps something lighter? There could be additions, nuts, chocolate chips, a hint of orange perhaps or even a touch of alcohol but at the moment it's the texture and taste of the base mixture I'm interested in.
Project Chocolate Cake started with a selection of my baking books and some sticky labels spread out before me, the cake below was chosen as cake no 1 simply becuse I had all the ingredients in stock and wanted to start early the next morning and coming from Cake Keeper Cakes, a book I've found highly reliable it seemed like a good place to start. I have recruited several friends and neighbours as official testers and reviewers, a task they seem quite eager to engage in, it will be interesting to see if it is possible to tire of chocolate cake.
The batter was easy to mix and a lovely light and moussy consistency. It raised to just above the height of the tin and although I turned the cake halfway through I neglected to check early enough for browning, it needs to be covered at about that point with a piece of foil.
The cake sunk and cracked quite a bit in the ten minutes that it was cooling in the pan. I didn't add the suggested chocolate chips so I wonder if that changed the structure of the cake, it stuck a little bit, and the outside looked dry and unappealing.
I thought, that considering the amount of chocolate and cocoa used, the finished cake should have had a deeper flavour, the texture was lovely and light though, it sliced fairly well but I can't say that I thought it was special enough. Comments from the official testers are at odds with my initial assessment though – it was greatly enjoyed. After baking I thought I had one to discount immediately, but it's still in the running
Double Chocolate Bundt Cake
(messed around with from an original Triple Chocolate Cake by Lauren Chattman in Cake Keeper Cakes)
114g dark chocolate (I used 70% Green and Blacks)
30g cocoa
250ml boiling water
250ml buttermilk (milk suggested in original recipe)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon instant coffee (my addition)
337.5g plain flour
2 Tsp baking powder
1 Tsp bicarb
1/4 Tsp salt
220g unsalted butter – room temp/softened
450g caster sugar
(original recipe also had the addition of 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips)
Preheat your oven to 170C, grease and flour 12 cup bundt tin.
Place chocolate, cocoa and coffee in a bowl, pour in the boiling water and mix until smooth. Set to oneside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large jug whisk the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract.
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (they should change colour becoming very pale) add the chocolate mixture and mix until incorporated.
With mixer in low add 1/3 of the flour mix, followed by 1/2 the buttermilk and repeat. Mixing between each addition and scraping the sides as necessary. If you are adding the chocolate chips do so at this point.
Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean, rotating half way through baking and covering loosely with a piece of foil if needed. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 mins before turning out to cool completely.

165. Oxbow Farmhouse Pale Ale
I stopped by Oxbow Brewing in Newcastle on Friday and met the brewer Tim Adams. Very nice guy and it is always fun to talk with a brewer. Also got to sample the 3 beers they had available and ended up with 2 growlers to take home. If I didn't already have a refrigerator full of beer I probably would have taken home one of each. The Farmhouse Pale Ale is their flagship beer, the original and always available. The color of this one is what you would expect from a pale ale with a one finger head that leaves a fair amount of lacing. Aroma has a bit of everything; some citrus notes, floral hops and a bit of yeast and spice. Taste is hard to describe; dry is the first thing that comes to mind but in a good way. Plenty of hops and a bit of bread and some spice. ABV is 6% but it does not drink like it and since you get a 64 ounces in a growler this can be dangerous. This is another beer that works well in any season. I happened to drink this on a warm winter day (40+ degrees in Maine in February) and I am sure it would be just as good on a hot summer day.
Pros: Aroma, color, easy to drink
Cons: Only available on tap or growlers at the brewery
Alcohol Content: 6% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): ??
Brewers Website: Oxbow
Brewers Description:
Mash: Pilsner Malt, Wheat, Aromatic, Light Crystal
Hops: American

Knee injury rules Gavazzi out of Tour Down Under
Astana name Guarnieri as replacement
Pro Team Astana has been forced to make a change to their Tour Down Under roster, with just over a week until the start of the WorldTour event.
Related Articles
Francesco Gavazzi had been scheduled to make the trip to Australia with the team however the winner of the queen stage at the 2012 Tour of Beijing suffered a knee injury in training.
"I have an inflammation of the cartilage around the left kneecap from simple overtraining. I have been suffering for 10 days, but hope to get it fixed soon," Gavazzi said.
His replacement will be sprinter, Jacopo Guarnieri, who should prove to be handy support for new recruit Andrea Guardini who will be making his debut for the team at the event.
Meantime, Gavazzi will undergo treatment from physiotherapists in an attempt to recover from his knee injury and hopes to resume racing in February.
"For now I can only train at maximum for a few hours on the bike. With regards to our training camp in Alicante, it all depends on my knee, but I think I should be ready for the Ruta del Sol for certain," Gavazzi said.

For some people, squirrels are a wildlife novelty to coo over. For others, they're a soul-crushing nuisance. For scientists? They're a fascinating study on food preparation, storage, and consumption. Many squirrel varieties have incredible food hoarding habits, including- believe it- farming. For our purposes, we'll be taking a look at the American Red Squirrel, and how it loves something most of its fellow Americans love, too: jerky.
But not just any jerky. Red squirrels are primarily omnivores (specifically, granivores) and you won't find them chomping on the behind of some hapless cow anytime soon. Instead, red squirrels get more creative. Their habitat consists of the entire North American continent, which includes Canada, Alaska, and the Rocky Mountains. They can especially be found in the boreal forest biome, although have been seen as far away as Arizona.
Because of their preferred tree-dominated habitat, they have a unique access to an array of fungi species. Red squirrels will dine on most mushroom types, including ones that are deadly to humans. What's more impressive than eating luxury truffle mushrooms? Making them into gourmet jerky.
American Red Squirrels have been seen taking mushrooms and storing them in places where they can be dried in the sun. Naturally, in-demand dehydration places include branches of trees, but red squirrels will take advantage of any secluded drying rack, including abandoned forest cabins. The mushrooms, when dried, last longer in the winter and also help prevent the squirrel larder from becoming infected with unwelcome insect larvae.
Some of these delectable bits of mushroom jerky include mushrooms that humans would have had to pay through the nose to be able to eat in a fine dining restaurant. American Red Squirrels have it figured out. When it comes to gourmet cooks in the wild, the red squirrel definitely takes home the all-American prize.

No, there is no mistake in the title. On February 19, a real-deal judge sentenced a group of brutal criminals to a total of 58 years behind the bars in Moscow, Russia -- not Moscow, Vermont.
At least three gay men were killed in Russia's capital since March 2012 by Magomedkhan Megomedkhanov, Bakhmud Kaimarazov, and Magomed Magomedov. The killers, who are Russian citizens from the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan, looked for victims on dating websites catering to LGBT Russians. They arranged for "dates" at their victims' apartments, showing up to rob and kill the owners.
Russia's law enforcers deserve credit for solving this series of heinous crimes. According to the General Prosecutor's website, the perpetrators were sentenced under article 105, part 2 (murder of more than two individuals committed by an organized group), article 162, part 4 (robbery with violence by an organized group with the infliction of grave injury to the victim), article 161, part 3 (robbery committed by an organized on a large scale). Additionally, Mr. Madomedkhanov was found guilty of swindling and theft.
One of the murder suspects detained in Moscow
The deceased victims were men aged 27 to 38. A fourth victim survived; he was unconscious when the gang robbed his apartment. For their crimes, the gang members were sentenced to 25, 24, and 9 years in prison.
Although hate crime provisions weren't applied in this case -- and, truth be told, won't be applied in any case tried in Russia any time soon -- the punishment for the gang is severe. The murder charges do carry aggravating circumstances and were appropriately applied in this case.
Earlier in February, a court in the Far East convicted three Russian men of murdering a man in what appeared to be a homophobic hate crime: the victim, a 29-year-old the defendants believed to be gay, was beaten and stabbed to death in the Kamchatka region in May 2012.
Kamchatka is hard to get to: 4,224 mi from Moscow
Why are these cases important?
Two reasons: 1) the crimes occurred before the Russian Duma passed and Vladimir Putin signed the ban on "propaganda" of nontraditional sexual relations to minors; and 2) the Russian authorities did what they are supposed to do -- investigate, prosecute, punish.
The Russian government, like any modern state where same-sex relations are legal, is struggling with the problem of violence motivated by a sexual orientation and gender identity bias. The Moscow-based SOVA Center for Information and Analysis recorded 2 murders and 25 violent attacks on LGBT individuals in Russia in 2013. These numbers are much lower compared to ethnically motivated incidents (136 victims in '13) but growing as more LGBT people are out and willing to participate in public actions to affirm their rights. SOVA's data doesn't include the victims of the Dagestani gang, likely because the prosecutors didn't release any information about the case until the official sentencing -- a common practice that undermines the transparency of Russia's criminal justice system, but that's a whole other story.
The passage of the infamous "propaganda" law created new obstacles for the ability of Russian gays and lesbians to exercise their freedom of speech, assembly, and association. Yet queer communities are able to fight for their rights in courts while the "propaganda" law has little impact on the daily lives of Russia's LGBT people. Nikolai Alekseyev, who was fined under the federal anti-"propaganda" bill has already promised to file a legal complaint with the European Court, where he had achieved a key victory in Alekseyev v. Russia when the Court found Russia guilty of violating Article 11 (freedom of assembly), Article 13 (effective remedy), and Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination).
The "propaganda" law challenged
In another major victory, a regional court in Ryazan overturned an administrative fine for "propaganda" of homosexuality against rights activist Irina Fedotova in October 2013. Ryazan was the first region to adopt a "propaganda" law, which was used against Ms. Fedotova in 2009 when she stood with a sign in front of a school and a children's library. The activist took her case to the U.N. Human Rights Committee, which ruled in her favor pointing to Russia's undermining of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by violating Ms. Fedotova's right to free expression and protection from discrimination.
Irina Fedotova was fined & un-fined for this
The court in Ryazan didn't have to overturn the initial verdict and its decision doesn't nullify either Ryazan's regional or the federal bans on "propaganda." Similarly, Nikolai Alekseyev's applications for a Pride Parade in Moscow continue to be denied despite the ECHR ruling. But it's significant that a Russian court accepted the Human Rights Committee's logic and ordered a fine to be reimbursed to an LGBT activist.
Mr. Alekseyev's street actions made him famous, his social media outbursts threatened to turn him into a pariah, but it's his court struggles that remain the backbone to the activist's ability to get his country to think and talk about LGBT rights.
As long as the Russian government protects its people when they become victims "in the streets," you can count on the Russian LGBT community to advance its struggle on the ground it's comfortable with -- the legal ground.
It works like this: you pay the fine first,
then you take them to court. Then you win.
The Russian tweet reads, "Now the 'propaganda' case will go to the Russian Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. And believe me, the Russian treasury will end up paying me much more."
The guilty verdicts in Moscow and Kamchatka show that Russia can live up to its obligation to investigate and prosecute attacks against people no matter who they are. This was acknowledged by Russia on the international level last year, when the Russian government agreed to "take all necessary measures to prevent violence and intolerance of a racist, xenophobia and homophobic character in conformity with international law and standard" during the country's Universal Periodic Review at the U.N. Human Rights Council.
The main problem with homophobic violence in Russia is that it's oft-ignored by law enforcement authorities who do a poor job in investigating and prosecuting such attacks. With the cases in Kamchatka and Moscow we see that the government can be serious about addressing acts of homophobic violence. As SOVA's decade-long data collection efforts show, Russia was able to make progress in addressing racist violence since the peak of such incidents in 2008 thanks to a much stronger law-enforcement response; one hopes the country is capable of doing the same to stem homophobic attacks--while investing more in efforts to stem all crime.

There are several ways of securing parts and components to each other, e.g. gluing, riveting, welding and soldering. However, by far the most common method of joining components is to use a screw to clamp the joint members with a nut or directly to a threaded hole in one of the components. The advantages of this method are the simplicity of design and assembly, easy disassembly, productivity and in the end – COST!
The tightening torque is for practical reasons the criteria normally used to specify the pre-stress in the screw. The torque, or the moment of force, can be measured either dynamically, when the screw is tightened, or statically, by checking the torque with a torque wrench after tightening.
Torque specifications vary considerably depending on the quality demands of the joint. A safety critical joint in a wheel suspension of a motorcycle, for example, cannot be allowed to fail and is consequently subject to very stringent tolerance requirements.
A higher level of quality control is reached by adding the tightening angle to the measured parameters. In the elastic area of the screw this can be used to verify that all the members of a joint are present, e.g. that a gasket or a washer is not missing. Also, the screw quality can be verified by measuring the tightening angle, prior to snug level as well as for final torque-up.
In sophisticated tightening processes the angle can also be used to define the yield point and allow tightening into the plastic area of the screw.
Torque measurements are made according to one of two principles:
In conclusion, monitoring quality has traditionally involved measuring torque, which generates clamp load. However, tightening results are also impacted by variations in friction or components. Therefore, a second dimension, most commonly rotational angle, needs to be measured as well. Controlling and monitoring both torque and angle detects failures such as missing gaskets, cross threads, material problems, and operator errors.
By ensuring quality in the tightening process you minimize costly recalls, reworking, and warranty claims, and avoid damage to your valuable reputation.

Manchester United flew home with a priceless Champions League lead and left behind a storm of controversy over incidents that included furious Lille coaching staff attempting to haul their players off the pitch before the final whistle.
Lille's goalkeeper, Tony Sylva, was lining up his wall when Ryan Giggs calmly stroked a free-kick into the top corner seven minutes from time. The home players raced to the Dutch referee Eric Braamhaar, unable to comprehend how he had allowed the goal to stand, but he was not for turning and his obduracy triggered a stunning reaction from the home bench, with the signal going out for the Lille players to head for the touchline and end the game.
Sanity prevailed and the contest continued, allowing United to claim victory from a game which, until those bizarre last few minutes, had seemed set to be remembered for a chilling security scare inside the visitors' end, where fans appeared to be crushed in front of a 10-foot barrier. No one was injured, although that was hardly a credit to the actions of riot police, who fired tear gas into the enclosure.
The disturbance behind Edwin van der Sar's goal as the security problem was unfolding took attention away from an awful game. It was 42 minutes before either side mustered a shot on goal, a half-chance created by the willingness of Wayne Rooney and Henrik Larsson to press the ball deep inside the Lille area. Ronaldo was on to the opportunity in an instant but, with Lille defenders flying on to the scene, the Portugal international could do no more than fire at Sylva, who blocked with his body.
Lille responded almost immediately as Mathieu Bodmer drilled a 20-yard shot wide after Nicolas Fauvergue had extravagantly chested the ball into his path.
Those opportunities aside, there was virtually nothing to enthuse either set of supporters, with the busiest man on the pitch being Braamhaar, who booked four players. Thankfully for United, none of them was Paul Scholes, who knew a caution would rule him out of the return.
The aggressiveness that United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, had highlighted in Lille's play from two dreadfully disappointing encounters last year had not disappeared, with Ronaldo increasingly agitated at the robust manner in which his skills were being blunted.
Thankfully the action improved markedly after the interval and the Portuguese ought to have been first to benefit from a much more open affair when he sped past Grégory Tafforeau into the Lille area. The winger may have 15 Premiership goals this season but he has yet to score for United in 23 appearances in this competition and he was unable to break his duck as he blasted against Sylva.
The rebound was by no means a tap-in but Rooney should have done better than fire meekly over.
Lille quickly responded and Bodmer found himself in half a yard of space, too close to the United goal for comfort from Ferguson's perspective. Thankfully for the visitors, Van der Sar was alive to the danger and flicked the shot wide with his foot.
Lille thought they had scored after 62 minutes when Peter Odemwingie, their Nigerian striker, rose above Nemanja Vidic, the United centre-half, to glance home Ludovic Obraniak's cross. But Braamhaar came to United's rescue, ruling out the goal for a push on Vidic by the forward.
Both sides continued to press forward. Louis Saha, introduced for the ineffective Ronaldo, stabbed Patrice Evra's cross straight at Sylva before Odemwingie curled a shot just wide. Another United break ended with Henrik Larsson chipping narrowly over after Sylva had failed to hold a low Rooney cross which had been intended for Giggs.
Johan Audel was unable to turn Matthieu Chalmé's near-post cross goalwards as he slid in ahead of Vidic, then Giggs's attempted lob never looked like dropping in after Scholes had lifted a pass beyond the Lille defence.
The Wales international soon found his range, however, and in so doing unleashed a storm of controversy which had Braamhaar facing a barrage of abuse as he left the field.

Tesla has unveiled a compact sport utility vehicle called the Model Y, in its latest effort to broaden its product range while contending with problems on a number of fronts.
Speaking on Thursday night at an event at the company's design center in Hawthorne, Calif., Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, touted the new electric vehicle's performance and safety-focused design.
"It has the functionality of an S.U.V., but it will ride like a sports car," Mr. Musk said. "This thing will be really tight in corners. And we expect it will be the safest midsize S.U.V. in the world by far."
Tesla, however, is still a long way from delivering the vehicle. It forecast that the earliest deliveries would begin in fall 2020, barring engineering or production delays of the sort that hampered its best-selling car, the Model 3.
Last year, Mr. Musk predicted that the Model Y would be ready for delivery in the first half of 2020. Tesla has not offered detailed plans for assembling the car, and recently said it would probably make the Model Y at its giant battery plant in Nevada.
Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Company, said Tesla's goal of having the Model Y in volume production by the end of next year was a matter of concern.
"This timeline appears similar to the original timeline for the Model 3 ramp, which was ultimately delayed by nine-12 months," he wrote in a note to investors.
By late 2020, Tesla will probably face stronger competition. Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and Porsche are just starting to produce vehicles that will rival the Model Y.
The first Model Y versions will have starting prices of $47,000 to $60,000 and are expected to offer a driving range of up to 300 miles. The company has begun taking deposits of $2,500 for orders.
A more affordable version with a range of about 230 miles and a starting price of $39,000 is supposed to go into production in spring 2021.
Tesla said it aimed to offer the Model Y in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, Germany, the Netherlands and a number of other European countries.
Investors seemed unimpressed by the rollout. Tesla's shares declined 5 percent on Friday.
Tesla is confronting sales challenges in Europe and China, markets it has been counting on for expansion. The company has also faced some operational uncertainty. Two weeks ago, Mr. Musk announced that Tesla would begin selling a long-awaited version of its Model 3 sedan priced at $35,000, $8,000 less than the cheapest current version. But he said Tesla would lose money in the first quarter, and analysts question whether Tesla can ever make money on the car at the lower price.
Tesla originally said customers would have to wait two to four weeks for delivery of the $35,000 Model 3. It now says the wait is six to eight weeks because of the volume of orders.
Sales of Tesla's other models, the Model S luxury sedan and Model X sport utility vehicle, have been flattening. And analysts suspect that demand for Tesla vehicles has softened since the beginning of the year, when the federal tax credit available to Tesla customers fell by half, raising the total cost for buyers. Until the end of 2018, Tesla buyers were eligible for a credit of $7,500. That fell to $3,850 on Jan. 1, essentially raising the price of Tesla cars.
Tesla responded with a series of price cuts to lift sales. In a conference call in January, Mr. Musk said many customers could not afford the company's cars.
To cut costs, Tesla announced that it would close most of its stores around the country. Days later, it backtracked and decided to keep many of the stores, and to reopen some that had already closed, though it affirmed a shift toward online-only sales. It also reversed direction on pricing, saying it would increase prices on all its cars except the $35,000 version of the Model 3.

Bandits Honour Chad Johnson
Calgary Flames netminder Chad Johnson became the first inductee into the Brooks Bandits' Wall of Fame.
The well-travelled 30-year-old goalie is in his first season with the Flames. He returned to Brooks on Jan. 20 for the evening honouring his junior accomplishments.
Johnson had played two seasons, 2003-04 and '04-05 with the Bandits.
After his AJHL days in Brooks, Johnson then spent the next four seasons at the NCAA level with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.
Johnson then began his pro career in 2009. Though he has had various American Hockey League stints since then, he's also suited up for five other NHL clubs besides Calgary.
Johnson was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, but never ended up playing for the Penguins.
He broke into the NHL during the 2009-10 season with the New York Rangers. He's also played for the then-Phoenix Coyotes, Boston Bruins, New York Islanders and Buffalo Sabres.
Johnson had some struggles during his rookie campaign with the Bandits. He made 31 appearances and posted a 6-20-3 record and a 3.94 goals-against average.
His following season was much more memorable. Johnson posted a 25-16-2 record and a 2.61 GAA. Also, Johnson's save percentage of .923 that season is still a Bandits record.
Mr. Clutch Battle
Neither Ben Assad nor Mackenzie Bauer is expected to win the AJHL scoring race.
But Assad, a member of the Calgary Canucks, and Bauer, who is toiling with the Camrose Kodiaks, are in a battle to determine who can be deemed Mr. Clutch.
The were tied for the league lead in game-winning goals after netting a half dozen game winners each.
Assad, a 20-year-old who is in his final AJHL season, had 47 points, including 23 goals, in his first 43 matches. Before joining the Canucks last year, Assad had spent time in the league with the Brooks Bandits and Grande Prairie Storm.
Bauer, who turned 21 on Jan. 24, was 32nd in league scoring having earned 37 points, including 20 goals, in his first 35 games.
Before arriving in Camrose last season, Bauer had AJHL stints with Brooks and the Lloydminster Bobcats. He also spent the 2014-15 campaign with the British Columbia Hockey League's Vernon Vipers.
Saints Rookie Goalie Excelling
Spruce Grove Saints rookie goalie Nolan Kent has been performing like a seasoned veteran this season.
Kent had posted a 21-8-1 record in his first 31 appearances. He also had a sparkling 2.21 goals-against average, the fourth best in the AJHL.Back to Top

Lawmakers Move Ahead on Federal ID Theft Bill
Leadership in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce said they intend to bring an amended version of the DATA (Data Accountability and Trust Act) to a vote March 29. The original bill was approved by the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection in November.
What is the proper role of legislators when it comes to data breaches? Click here to read more.
The legislation would require data brokers to set up procedures to verify the accuracy of the information they collect, and maintain and regularly monitor security systems for breaches. It would define data brokers as companies that sell non-customer data to unaffiliated third parties.
How can SMBs walk the line between cost-effective solutions and reliable security protection? Join Ziff Davis Media eSeminars, HP and PC Connection on March 29 at 4 p.m. ET, and learn how to develop an effective and affordable security and business protection strategy.
One of the most controversial aspects of the ID theft debate centers on the trigger for requiring that consumers be notified of a security breach.

Saudi Arabia needs an Oil Price of around $80
REGAN: Do you think to a certain extent – and I actually wrote about – I wrote about this in – in my column in USA Today this week. I wonder to what extent, Marc, OPEC actually enjoys seeing lower prices right now because of the success of drilling in the US. In other words, it makes it far less attractive for drillers in the US to be investing in that sector.
FABER: Except too much of a good thing may not be very good for Saudi Arabia and the other oil producers. You can extract oil in Saudi Arabia at very low cost, but you have to understand the population of Saudi Arabia has now reached I think 25 million. So the social cost is very large. They need an oil price of around $80. If oil prices went down – and let me remind you oil hit a high in July 2008 at $147 and within six months it dropped to $32, but it didn't stay there. It rebounded. And I think Saudi Arabia and most oil producers would be in trouble if the oil price went below $70 and stayed there.
Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world.Dr. Doom also trades currencies and commodity futures like Gold and Oil.

HATTIESBURG — The Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport is one step closer to its new hangar.
During Monday's meeting of the Forrest County Board of Supervisors, The Hattiesburg American reports board members authorized and approved a loan not to exceed $230,000 on behalf of Forrest County and the Airport Authority from the Mississippi Development Authority.
The funds will help build the airport's 17th general aviation hangar, which will house four aircraft. Construction on the 100-foot by 100-foot structure began about three months ago.
The 3 percent MDA loan will be paid back through a mix of hangar rental and fuel sales. The airport previously received a $250,000 Multi-Modal grant from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, which covers about 54 percent of the hangar's $463,000 price tag.

I'm not certain where to start with the story of this car...so, I guess I'll start at the beginningish.
At somepoint in 1989 my Grandpa bought the vehicle pictured above. This car replaced a string of questionable vehicluar decions after he parted with his mid 70's Benz. These questionable decions included a Lincoln Mark VII and a Range Rover...clearly this BMW was a step in the right direction! Unfortunately, in the mid 90's after only a few years of ownership, he became unable to drive any longer. The car then hung around as a spare car for the family / 2nd car for Grandma. The years ticked by and maintenace became lax. As anyone familar with high-end german cars can tell you, ignoring regular and rigorous maintnance is a death sentance for the car. The only good news was that due to it's limited use, the mileage accumulated very slowly on the car. By about the year 2000 the car had about 50K miles on it.
In 2003, after a string of breakdowns and other issues due to lack of maintenance and a crooked mechanic, Grandma was ready to send the car to the wrecker. Now keep in mind, I had been in love with this car from the time Grandpa bought it. At the, time I also happened to be paying the bills as a Certified BMW Mechanic at a local dealership. i convinced Grandma to sign the car over to me.
Late in 2003, I took over ownership of the car. I was able to keep in garaged at Grandma's which was a bonus, as I had no garage space of my own. I addressed the critical issues and started catching up on some deferred maintenance. I put about 13K miles on the car over the next 2 years. At the end of the summer of 2005 during a road trip, the car developed a bad miss. I did some diagnosis, which helped but I was unable to get it running perfectly. It seemed like all that deferred mainenance had finally caught up with old girl. At this time, I was in the thick of my Comp Sci program, no longer employed at BMW, and as such lacked the time and money to really fix the car, then life got in the way, etc. The car sat in Grandma's garage for 6 years with 73,887 miles on it...waiting.
This winter Grandma informed me, "I'm selling my house, you have to do something with the BMW." I figured this was a sign..it was Time:
Late in December, I rented a tow dollly from U-haul and hooked it up to my Jeep to tow the 750 the 30 miles home. If the above looks like it was an extraordinarily bad idea...it was. The Jeep is rated for 3500 lbs of tow capcaity, I have a 4000lb hitch. The curb weight of a 750iL is about 4300 lbs. I was just sure to take it easy and we made it home without incident. As a side note, the 4.0 I6 in the Jeep is an amazing engine. It pulled the addiitional 2 tons up hills and whatnot with out complaint.
Unfortunately, with it being a pretty snow heavy winter, I was not able to get to the car until it all melted. Once spring came, I looking longing at the car sitting in the driveway, washing it every couple of weekends. Finding the time can be difficult sometime. Then, inspiration struck. As it turns out, we're planning a trip to Iowa in July to visit my wife's family. A couple weeks ago she said, "Gee wouldn't it be neat (and comfortable) to take the BMW?"
And so the project began in earnest. I gave the car a pretty good going through, making a checklist as I went of everything that would need to be done to bring the car back to "perfect". Currently the list stands at 53 items. Obvioulsy not all 53 need to be done July (thankfully). For the trip, I'm doing a full tune-up, changing all the coolant lines, rubber brake lines and the hydraulic accumulators for the rear self leveling suspension. That should get us to reliable and comfortable.
That's the basic story and where we are today. I started in earnest digging into the car this weekend...but that's for the next post.

in the kitchen with: cerentha harris' sausage rolls
I love Australian food. Eating there really is an amazing experience– the wines, cheeses, olive oils, bread, lamb, desserts, and the best Asian food outside of Asia! I wish we had that diversity in Italy. I miss it! I crave it! So for this week's In the Kitchen With, to nurse my 'food nostalgia', I contacted Australian journalist Cerentha Harris for a typical Australian dish. She gave us her sausage roll recipe. I never realized just how simple it is until I baked these in a flash two weeks ago ("As easy as falling off a log," according to an Australian friend of mine). Now I have little packets of them in the freezer for my husband's game nights.
About Cerentha:: Cerentha Harris is an Australian journalist living in Los Angeles. She is the editor of Herman Miller's Lifework blog and indulges her passion for design and architecture at thisisadesignblog.com.

Sausage Rolls
(photography by Kristina Gill; props by mud australia and Astier de Villatte)
For the Pastry
- 2.5 cups of plain flour (all-purpose flour, 310g)
- 1 teaspoon salt (5g)
- 1 cup very cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (2 sticks or 230g)
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup ice water (65ml-125ml)
[If you don't feel like making the pastry, you can buy puff pastry.]
Whizz flour and salt in the food processor. Add the cubes of butter. Pulse it until all the butter is worked in and it looks like soft sandy crumbs.
Slowly add the ice water down the chute, careful to make sure you stop when the dough just comes together. Don't over mix the dough at this point. You want to combine it until the dough forms big fist size lumps. You may not need all of the water. Dump it out onto a counter and combine it quickly and lightly into a ball (don't knead it). Cut in half and cover in plastic wrap or put in a sealable bag and stick in the fridge for an hour.
For the filling
- 1 lb (450g) of your favorite sausage
- 1 lb (450g) ground pork (or any other ground meat of your choice, or you may also use all sausage)
- 2 tablespoons (30g) seasoned bread crumbs (I use Progresso ones!)
- You can also add fresh chopped herbs (sage is good!), spinach, even cheese
- 2 eggs beaten together with 2 tablespoons milk, to seal the edges of the roll and to brush along the top
Mix one pound of sausage meat with 1 pound of ground pork and shake in the breadcrumbs. Combine with your hands, or a potato masher. Add herbs and cheese if you are using them.
Remove one half of the dough from the fridge and let it warm up a little. On a slightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rough large rectangle – the dough should be 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick.
Form handfuls of the meat mixture into fat sausages by rolling it in your palms and lay them end to end along the center of the dough, leaving enough of a margin so that you can roll the dough around the meat. Trim the rectangle so the rough edges of the dough are neat down each long side.
Fold over the dough to form the roll – I do a bit of squashing here to make sure the meat is pushed right to the edges of the rolled dough. Brush the seam with egg before closing the roll. Cut into 2 inch (5cm) lengths and place them seam side down on a greased cookie tray, or a tray you have lined with parchment paper. Brush them with the egg wash.
You could sprinkle now with sesame seeds if you like.
Bake in a 400F (200C) oven for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with ketchup.
Why Cerentha chose this recipe:
In an attempt to keep her kids, Jack and Lucinda, connected to their Australian roots she has mastered the fine art of sausage roll making. Next on the list? Lamingtons, pavlovas and then perhaps the perfect meat pie.

Bring back CSO for Denver's Independence Day concert at Civic Center
We attended the Independence Day concert in Civic Center last Thursday for the fifth time. However, this year something was not right. First and foremost, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra had not been engaged for the performance. As I looked at the program for the evening, I could not believe what I was reading. An accumulation of mostly inappropriate music had been chosen for the performance. If the purpose was to celebrate our nation's founding, as I believe it was, then what was, among other things, a medley of Michael Jackson doing on the card?
I will pay close attention to the selections for next year and hope that the organizers seriously consider returning the CSO for another performance. They do such a magnificent job. Scott O'Neil, we missed you.

"Israel accepts the terrorists at their hospitals and claim that they provide such services for the sake of loving the mankind," Maleki said, addressing the 71st meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York.
He said that contrary to what Netanyahu said at the UN General Assembly meeting Israel is keeping on its support for the ISIL terrorists in Syria.
"Israel is using the UN General Assembly as a tool to deceive the world," Maleki added.
The Iranian envoy reiterated that the Palestinians will continue their war against usurpers as long as the occupation goes on.
"Netanyahu also tried to cover up the fact that the regime's actions have caused a lot of suffering and plight for a people who are living under occupation," Maleki said.
The Iranian diplomat also said that Netanyahu tried to divert the public attention from Zionist regime's stockpiles of nuclear bombs, chemical weapons and militarism which has been going on for several decades.
"The Zionist official continued to level baseless allegations against Iran and unfoundedly accused Iran of leading the trend of terrorism in the world without offering any proofs and clues to his claim," he added.
Maleki said that this is despite the fact that Iran has been in the frontline of the fight against terrorism in the region.
"The present isolation of Israel indicates the unwillingness of world leaders and nations to approve Israel's lies against Iran," he added.
Last Saturday, several Israeli ambulances entered Syria's Southern province of Quneitra and transferred those terrorists injured in clashes with Syrian Army troops to their hospitals in the occupied part of the Golan Heights, media sources said.
"First, Israeli warplanes bombed Syrian government's positions near Quneitra to back the terrorists of Fatah al-Sham (the newly-formed al-Qaeda-linked terrorists group previously known as the al-Nusra Front) who had attacked the Syrian army positions to prevail over the government's position," the Arabic service of RT reported.
"After Fatah al-Sham's attacks were repelled by the Syrian soldiers, seven Israeli ambulances entered the battlefield and transferred a number of wounded terrorists to Israeli hospitals in the occupied Golan Heights," RT added.

Comicbook Galaxy examines Marvel's Starwars comic-book releases and offers a dialogue stage about the tradition and environment of the Starwars comicbook world.
No fresh Starwars comics this week? Not a problem! Comicbook Universe is here now to appear back in the week which was with problem Number 2 of the Starwars: The Pressure Stimulates variation, and also to present this query to whatever you comic-book enthusiasts available: in the event you decide a guide by its address?
The Week Which Was
Shows from Starwars: The Pressure Stimulates Number 2
- Problem #2 accumulates with among the many victorious occasions within the strike movie: Finn and Rey rushing aboard the Century Falcon to flee the Very First Purchase. But these LINK fighter ensure it is simple. Rey doesn't have copilot, and Finn needs to control an out-of-day bit of weaponry when they aspire to endure.
- Take a look at Chuck Wendig's undertake these three phrases that required the Starwars neighborhood by storm: "Chewie. We're home." It's about the various sections, also it provides the audience back again to that memorable time.
- Perhaps you have observed the address?! BB 8 Han Solo and Chewbacca's great five are prepared for motion, as Ren no coincidence, and moves beyond. And a great location is not he'sed in by Poe…. Among the many relaxing moments within the truck to The Pressure Stimulates has become a artwork.
The surface of the Bunch: What's Out This Week
No comics for you personally! (But take a look at our #25)
Word-Balloon: You can't judge a guide by its address. Or are you able to?
I've liked comics since I had been a child. But I do but particularly loved covers.
Why? Properly, addresses are directly behind them. They provide a peek often without terms, of the tale. They may be delicate, eye-popping can be featured by them pictures, they may be motion-loaded. Addresses are an art on their own. Plus in a great way, although they may also be deceptive.
Remember the address to Starwars Number 2 in the late seventies? It includes a buffed- out Skywalker with Obi Wan Kenobi keeping his red (yes, reddish. I promise.) lightsaber with two fingers, prepared to cut villainy and some scum aside. Eight aliens in different quantities of consciousness surround the characters. Luke's word balloons study, "Swing that lightsabre [sic] Bill — or we're completed!", as the zig-zaggy textbox practically shouts, Luke Skywalker hits back (A little bit of terminology, yes?) It's absolutely suggests a brouhaha, and extreme is expecting our heroes but that obviously isn't the situation. One lightsaber move by Obi Wan Kenobi doesn't a skirmish create.
However it completely rocks. Used to do not (but still don't), feel betrayed the address didn't precisely depict what truly occurs within the Mos Eisley cantina. The address got that guide, that will be precisely what it's designed to do was much more thrilled for by me. It's not completely sincere, but it's not necessarily unethical both. It's a generator that is visible, and attracts one to the comicbook stand. The "ruse" is solely not, and there to tantalize to provide the piece away.
Fast forward towards the address for problem two of The Pressure Stimulates variation mentioned previously. It's a option, functions the specter of Kylo, and using the primary figures in remarkable poses. It informs actually less concerning the tale compared to address for problem Number 2 of the A Brand New Trust variation, however it does its work: it creates you wish to browse the problem ASAP! (browse the version addresses for problem two aswell: they're incredible pieces of art, but don't fundamentally depict what's included inside.)
Comics really are a method that is visible, along with an address that is powerful all could be worth admission's price all alone. Take the time to actually examine a rewarding a comic's cover and/ or the story — whether it surely displays the story.
Would you think there be ought to a comic-book address a precise illustration of what's inside? Let's understand within the remark area below!
John Zehr is just a senior school Language instructor by having an MS in Training and Understanding, and operates Espresso With Kenobi (with co host Cory Clubb), a Starwars podcast that evaluates the tale through criticalthinking, evaluation, interviews, and dialogue. He's original audience and a devoted comic-book customer of the method.

After I was a younger boy I knew of just one use for bamboo-to make nice cane poles for fishing. Bamboo has the great property of being versatile but sturdy. The cane pole would bend when a fish was on the road, offering resistance as I used to be attempting to herald a keeper with out having the road break. And the pole would by no means break. I've some nice recollections of the various bluegill and crappie I caught whereas fishing with my father and grandfather as a child, and of the incredible fish dinners we loved collectively as a household afterward.
Immediately, bamboo nonetheless makes an awesome fishing pole, as many children can attest. However one other surprisingly helpful utility has emerged that's environmentally-friendly and contributes to a greener life-style.
Bamboo has lately obtained a whole lot of consideration as a inexperienced constructing materials, significantly for flooring, and right here is why.
Bamboo grows in a short time, making it a quickly renewable materials. In comparison with bushes, which might take 50 to 100 years to develop to enough dimension, bamboo could be harvested each 5 – 6 years. There are 10 to 20 cycles of bamboo harvests within the time it takes for a hardwood tree to mature, which suggests bamboo gives extra constructing materials in the identical time frame. And the quick progress means a extra speedy uptake of carbon dioxide and launch of oxygen, with advantages to the setting.
One other superb inexperienced benefit of bamboo is that it doesn't must be replanted, like a hardwood tree. After being lower, bamboo will re-grow, by itself, in the identical place. Being a self-regenerating plant is a serious profit.
Though bamboo is classed as a grass fairly than a wooden, it surprisingly sturdy and sturdy, and it wears very nicely as a flooring materials. When used to provide flooring, bamboo is stacked in layers and glued collectively to provide sections like every other ground tile or board. Thus, it may be utilized in development like different engineered woods, and it may be stained or completed like every other wooden, producing a lovely look as nicely.

An international network of/for intelligent organisms
I will be giving a talk and running a workshop on The Physarum Experiments, my ongoing collaboration with Physarum polycephalum, as part of this year's Subtle Technologies Festival in Toronto.
"[In] trying to understand systems that use relatively simple components to build higher-level intelligence, the slime mould may someday be seen as the equivalent of the finches and tortoises that Darwin observed on the GaIápagos Islands."
(Steven Johnson, Emergence, 2001)
Physarum polycephalum is a tiny yellow microorganism that displays primitive intelligence, problem solving skills and memory. This slime mould is used as a model organism in many areas of research including city planning, adaptation and robotics. It also makes for a great creative collaborator: kept dark and damp, and fed on a diet of porridge oats, it will grow in beautiful patterns whilst foraging for food.
Join artist Heather Barnett to discover the fascinating role this single celled organism has to play in the culture of both science and art, and participate in a practical experiment to create the ideal creative environment for it to grow. Each participant will take home their own pet slime mould at the end of the session, and will be invited to share the results of their experiments on The Slime Mould Collective @ slimoco.ning.com.
Organism, equipment and consumables provided.

This Christmas thousands of Australians will generously volunteer to help those less fortunate at what can be a very difficult time of year for many in our community.
Labor thanks every volunteer and every charitable organisation for the invaluable work they do every day, but especially over this Christmas period.
For many Australians this will be a tough time when they will rely on donations of money, food, shelter and gifts for their kids from others.
The Salvation Army works incredibly hard to support some of Australia's most vulnerable people and they have a long established track record looking after people during difficult times.
While parcels, breakfasts and emotional support provide a welcome respite, we are reminded that not everyone has reason to celebrate this Christmas.
The Government must do more to support the most vulnerable in our community, including acting on the growing challenge of homelessness.
Labor believes in a strong economy that delivers for all Australians and doesn't leave people behind.
Hundreds of thousands of Australians are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, are on public housing waiting lists or trying desperately to purchase their own home.
Yet the Abbott Government is leaving them all in a state of perpetual uncertainty.
The work of organisations like the Salvation Army highlights the disadvantage many in our community face in keeping a roof over their heads.
The housing and homelessness policy review promised by Minister Kevin Andrews since November 2013 has not been delivered.
And there is real and genuine fear the Abbott Government does not see a role for the Commonwealth in housing and homelessness policy going forward.
The Abbott Government has:
- Cut $44 million out of homelessness services in its 2014-15 Budget, with no funding certainty beyond 2015;
- Abolished the National Rental Affordability Scheme which boosted the supply of affordable housing for Australians and was widely supported by the industry;
- Scrapped the First Home Owners Saver Accounts which assisted Australians to save for their first homes;
- Abolished the Prime Minister's Council on Homelessness;
- Abolished the National Housing Council Supply;
- Given no commitment to ongoing funding of the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness beyond June 2015
- Removed the COAG Select Council on Housing and Homelessness;
- Withdrawn the Commonwealth's role from the community housing sector's National Regulatory Council;
- Reduced funding for the National Affordable Housing Agreement, which has impacted further on the provision of homelessness services.
Australia cannot afford a government that abandons the most vulnerable in our community, especially at a time when unemployment is at its highest levels in 12 years and youth unemployment its highest level in 13 years.
Labor calls on the Abbott Government to recommit to tackling homelessness in Australia, not cut services and support at a time when more and more Australians are relying on it.

A 25-year-old Israeli man horrified onlookers in Paris when he hurled himself off the Eiffel Tower and fell to his death.
Police called a medical expert and specialist suicide rescue squad to reason with the man who was seen hanging on the outside of the structure. He ignored them and jumped from between the second and third levels of the tower, falling more than 500ft.
Frédéric Grosjean told the Telegraph that the authorites tried to talk the man, who spoke in broken English, for 90 minutes, but he ignored them to listen to music in his headphones before jumping.
A second suicide attempt was successfully foiled by officers who talked down a woman in her 30s who had climbed the tower. She was taken off the structure by helicopter.
Officials have refused to comment on the number of successful suicides from the tower. "It's always too many," they said.

The Honorable Nicola Roxon, Attorney-General of Australia to present, "Why Are Plain Packs Making Big Tobacco So Angry? Australia's World Leading Work to Combat Smoking" on Thursday, May 17, 2012, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. at Georgetown Law, 600 New Jersey Avenue NW, Washington DC (Hotung Building Room 2000).
The Issue in Brief: From December 2012, Australian law will require that tobacco products sold in Australia be sold in plain packaging. The law reduces branding on product packaging to the display of brand and variant names in standardized font styles and sizes, with the remainder of a pack's surface to be taken up by health warnings and a plain background. Tobacco companies have challenged the law under the Australian constitution and under a bilateral investment treaty. Claims have also been initiated at the World Trade Organization.
Biography: The Honorable Nicola Roxon is the Attorney-General in the Australian Government. She has been a member of Federal Parliament since 1998 representing the western suburbs seat of Gellibrand in Melbourne. As the Minister for Health and Ageing from 2007 to 2011, Ms. Roxon undertook major reforms to Australia's public hospital, primary care and preventative health systems. In 2011, Ms. Roxon was awarded the World Health Organization Director-General's Special Recognition Certificate for her accomplishments in tobacco control. In 2011 she was appointed Australia's first female Attorney-General and in March 2012 given the additional portfolio responsibility of Minister for Emergency Management. Ms. Roxon is an honors law graduate, who worked as an industrial lawyer, union organizer and judge's associate to Justice Mary Gaudron in the High Court of Australia prior to her election to parliament. Ms. Roxon is married with one child.

I rushed home and set up Dasher and Dancer and just as I went to take the photo, one of my little "lions" came out to take up his post. He was a little miffed and certainly gave me a look of disgust as his possy was gone and some strange creature had taken over. I will have to teach him some Christmas spirit.
I want to take this chance to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. A huge thank you to everyone who has attended my classes throughout the year and best wished to all that take the time to pop in and look at my blog.
If you are travelling please stay safe and I hope you have time to relax and enjoy special moments with your family and friends.
I am sure that Santa will visit each and everyone of you as you have all been excceptionally good all year and that you experience a little of the magic that Christmas brings.
2011 is just around the corner and I hope that the year ahead is full of happy times and pleasant surprises. I am looking forward to catching up with everyone and hearing how you all spent the festive season.
