The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has said that the postponement of elections in Nigeria by INEC, is a move by President Muhammadu Buhari to disenfranchise the Nigerian people.
Atiku in a statement on Saturday, February 16, alleged that President Buhari instigated the move to postpone the elections by the electoral umpire.
He said, "This postponement is obviously a case of the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. By instigating this postponement, the Buhari administration hopes to disenfranchise the Nigerian electorate in order to ensure that turn out is low on the rescheduled date.
The former Vice President said there was no reason for the postponement of the elections.
"The Buhari administration has had more than enough time and money to prepare for these elections and the Nigerian people were poised and ready to perform their civic responsibility by voting in the elections earlier scheduled for Saturday, 16 February 2019," Atiku said.
He claimed that the President instigated the postponement because it was obvious he (Buhari) had fallen out of favour with the people.
"Knowing that the Nigerian people are determined to reject them, they are desperate and will do anything in their power to avoid their rejection by the Nigerian people," he said.
"Their plan is to provoke the public, hoping for a negative reaction, and then use that as an excuse for further anti-democratic acts," the presidential hopeful added.
Atiku urged Nigerians to frustrate all plans aimed at disenfranchising them, by coming out in even greater numbers on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively.
"Please come out to vote on Saturday, 23 February and Saturday, 9 March respectively. Frustrate those who do not want this election to hold by coming out in very large numbers. That is the best antidote to their plans."
He urged Nigerians to maintain peace and be law-abiding, noting that in a few days time they will be able to give the present government a verdict via the polls.
"I call on all Nigerians to be patient. We have tolerated the maladministration of this government for four years. We can extend our tolerance a few more days and give them our verdict via our votes".
Atiku asked the people to shun every provocation and resist the urge to make a reply with anger, violence or any action that might be exploited by those who do not want the election to hold.
He said he is confident of a victory when the polls get underway because though the elections can be postponed, destiny on the other hand cannot be postponed.

The problem of health maintenance has always been, and is still remaining to be, one of the most important and topical problems in biology and medicine. The results of epidemiologic observations and statistical analyses show slowering down of the progress in extending the life - span of the population of the Republic of Belarus and premature mortality of severe chronic infectious disease, such as heart diseases and malignant tumors. The majority of premature death cases among men and women is caused by either unbalanced nutrition or excessive consumption of fat and salt, or dietary selenium, potassium, calcium, nutrition fibre and vitamin deficiencies which reduce bodily adaptation capacities and stability towards the action of xenobiotics. The physiological antioxidant protection system, with selenium being a component, is stressed to the greatest extent. This is related to the fact that the population of many country's regions is exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation and dwells in areas characterized by increased heavy metal and other xenobiotic contents. The situation is aggravated by the territory of the Republic of Belarus being a bio- and geochemical region where the selenium levels are lower than the critical ones in soil (0.1 mg/kg) and not more than 10 ug/l in drinking water. Therefore the content of selenium, as a natural antioxidant, in foodstuffs and methods for selenium status improvement are of pivotal interest for the country. The average daily consumption as recommended by FAO must be 50-200 ug per day. Bread can be supplemented with selenium by adding the inorganic form (sodium selenite) directly during baking or by using bioselenium yeast, containing selenium as inorganic compounds (selenium methionine or selenium cysteine), in production of bread. Data are given on implementation of the selenium supplementation technology by different bakeries of the Republic of Belarus and Russian.

Ruthwell Golf Club, Dumfries & Galloway. (1893 - 1920s)
The club was founded in 1893.
Originally a nine-hole course
It was reported in April 1893 that at a meeting of golfers in Dumfries it was resolved to form a club at Ruthwell where a splendid course is available on the foreshore. Later in the month it was stated that the new golf course at Ruthwell is being patronised by a good few players, but decent scores are rare. The lowest so far is 53 by Mr W M Blake; Rev. R Donaldson, 55; R Wright, 57.
In October 1894 Mr H M Govan, secretary of the Queen of the South Club, played over the Ruthwell course and created a new course record, beating the record set by W M Blake of 79. His score for the two rounds as follows; 5,3,3,3,4,6,4,5,5 = 38; 6,3,3,3,4,4,5,4,6 = 38.
In October 1896 the members competed for Sir Robert Reid's half yearly medal, leading scores; Dr Scott, Clarencefield, 114-15-99; W M Blake, 98+2-100; J M Gray, 104-2-102; W J Scott, 113-10-103.
The article below is from The Evening Times April 29th 1897.
In 1902 the secretary was G Smith, Hope Cottage, Ruthwell. An 18-hole course. Visitors' fees were 2/6d a week, 10/- a month. The railway station at Ruthwell was 1 ½ miles away.

No matter the landscape, there is always a glass of wine, a soft mellow breeze and a story to tell of the day.
Your Local Chauffeur spent many days growing up and embracing The Queen Charlotte Sound.
The fishing, the swimming, the dolphins, the pet snapper in Double Bay, Endeavour Inlet so serene then with hardly anyone about.
The wash of the Inter-Islander Ferry wondering if you are going to beat the swell and not get scared. Then when it comes enjoy the uplifting experience of excitement.
The story Pamela likes to tell her guests on tour is the succulent Blue Cod caught, Dad making a beer batter, Mum cutting up the lemons and buttering the bread (Sorry it had to be white bread!)
Plates piled high with crispy and tantalising tastes of the deep blue cod.
Fishing for groper (occasinal fierce barracuda) around Long Island, and going ashore at Ships Cove for a picnic.
The private tracks behind Furneaux Lodge and around the Bays with the farm dog Jet - the singing birds and whisp of the leaves on the pathway. The sight of the water through the native bush.
No matter our age the memories remain and luckily it is still there for our visitors to enjoy.

Four suspected Roanoke gang members indicted on conspiracy to commit murder, other charges
Those charged Include members from the Rollin 30s set of the Crips
ROANOKE, Va. – Authorities announced Monday afternoon the first major federal prosecution of organized gang activity in Roanoke as part of the newly reinvigorated Project Safe Neighborhoods violent crime reduction initiative.
The indictment charges four suspected Rollin' 30s members in Roanoke with crimes including racketeering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit murder.
Thomas cullen / u.s. attorney, western district of virginia
2:06:40 "i am grateful for the dedication and cooperation of our various federal, state and local law enforcement partners in bringing these violent gang members to justice," said Thomas Cullen, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Virginia.
The Rollin' 30s Crips, also known as the Rollin' 30s or "Dirt Gang," is a national street gang founded in the greater Los Angeles area with smaller sets in other cities throughout the United States, including Roanoke.
The Roanoke set of the Rollin' 30s operated primarily in northwest Roanoke, centered in and around the Lansdowne neighborhood, according to the Department of Justice. Officials say the community was crucial to their captures.
"Folks were forthcoming, they were cooperative. Some were fearful but they recognized that they needed to step up, do the right thing in order to help law enforcement get its arms around this problem," said Cullen.
Two of the defendants were charged with murder in aid of racketeering and related firearms offenses.
On Sept. 25, a federal grand jury returned an indictment, under seal, charging four individuals. Those indictments were unsealed Monday.
The grand jury has charged the following:
• Sean Denzel Guerrant, aka. "Denk" "Dink" and "Harlem Denk," 27, of Roanoke, with one count of racketeering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
• Demonte Rashod Mack, aka. "Murda," 29, of Roanoke, with one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of murder in aid of racketeering, one count of conspiracy to commit murder, one count of using a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence, and one count of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence causing death.
• Trayvone Raycron Kasey, aka. "30," 19, of Roanoke, with one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of murder in aid of racketeering, one count of conspiracy to commit murder, one count of using a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence, and one count of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence causing death.
• Chauncey Dion Levesy, aka. "Cee Guzman," 24, of Roanoke, with one count of racketeering conspiracy and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
"This indictment is the first step in what will be a coordinated and sustained assault on gang-related violence in the City of Roanoke," U.S. Attorney Thomas Cullen stated.
According to the indictment, beginning no later than April 22, 2017, Guerrant, Mack, Kasey, and Levesy, together with others known and unknown to the grand jury, conspired to conduct a pattern of racketeering activity, including multiple threats and acts involving violent crime.
Specifically, the indictment alleges that on or about June 14 and 15, 2017, Guerrant, Mack, Kasey and Levesy conspired to murder "Victim D.F."
The indictment further claims that Mack, Kasey and Levesy murdered "Victim N.L." at the direction of Guerrant.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Roanoke City Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Violent Crimes Task Force.
The investigation was a coordinated effort also involving law enforcement assets from the Virginia State Police, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Assistant United States Attorneys Grayson A. Hoffman and Matthew M. Miller are prosecuting the case for the United States.
"The Central Virginia Violent Crime Task Force will continue to partner with federal state and local law enforcement to rid that criminal plague that lingers in the corners of your neighborhoods," said John Lenkart, acting special agent for the FBI Richmond Division.

baking must be hard
I'm sure you remember that I was telling you about this no-knead bread (which is really difficult to not type as "know-knead" but that's neither here nor there). Well, the idea is that by removing the kneading and the mixing even slackers can bake bread. Well folks, this shit is stil hard.
First I followed the instructions, which I'll admit was hard because the formatting on the recipe misplaces the initial "2 cups of wheat flour" and at first I was staring with perplexion (no, not a word, just keep going) at this soupy mess masquerading as dough, until my man made it clear that ovbviously my solid:liquid ratio must be off. I stared at the recipe a few more times until I saw the errant "2 cups of wheat of flour" floating off to the left.
So, my dough is no longer liquid, which is ace. But, not content to follow directions and also feeling a bit embarrassed that I didn't have rye flour, I added a handful of poppy seeds and a few teaspoons of rep pepper and artichoke tapenade from Trader Joe's. My intention was to make the bread look more artisan-ish. Well, it got more ish, I'll tell you.
I was supposed to let it sit four hours then bake. It was midnight by the time four hours came and I don't bake at midnight, so I put it in the fridge. If someone could let me know if this was my first mistake that'd be great. Anyway, next day I take out the dough, which looks nicely risen, and shape it into my casserole dish thing. I let it sit because the man said it'd be a good idea to make sure the middle wasn't colder than the rest of it.
I baked it, took it out. Looked beautiful. The bits of pepper definitely had it looking gourmet. But when I cut it in half it was definitely soggy in the middle, and if I'm honest, kind of dry on the outside. But the middle was so soggy it just had to go back in. And, you guessed it, even worse when it came back out.
Can you see the soggy bit? Moral of the story, bread is mad hard. I will endeavor to make it tastier in the future.

Given how often I contribute to the writer's blog Friday Fictioneers, I started to notice how cluttered overview page of my random short fiction was starting to become. In order to try to alleviate some of this congestion, I decided to move all of my Friday Ficitoneer work onto this here page. The setup is still the same, though: chronologically ordered going from most to least recent.
As a quick overview, Friday Fictioneers is a blog that weekly gives out a challenge for writers where they must write a cohesive story based off of a picture (although, I've heard that music might be a potential focal point as well) that can have no more than 100 words in it. Well, 100-ish. I manage to get away with about 114 at one point, but if one comes too close to the 200-word threshold, the literary demons will take their heathen souls into literature hell. Then the poor victims will be thrown at the feet of Emily Dickinson and be non-sequitured to death.
So, for your convenience and enjoyment, here are my entries to the weekly Friday Fictioneers writing challenge.
Have fun~
- Friday Fictioneers: Bad Omen– Published November 22nd, 2014
The stupidity of youth rears its adrenaline-pumping head yet again as two young sprouts put themselves in serious mortal injury. Judging by the title, I don't think it will end every well.
- Friday Fictioneers: Media Overload– Published November 14th, 2014
When I went to Vegas in high school, it was a lot like this, actually. And yet I still loved it there. I guess I'm slightly more deaf now.
- Friday Fictioneers: Command Scoop and His Heartfelt Ambition Machine– Published November 6th, 2014

- Friday Fictioneers: Talking to Myself– Published November 3rd, 2014
Like Thoreau's Advice act 2, this little snippit of a story invades the privacy of a man talking to somebody who probably doesn't exist.
- Friday Fictioneers: Duck Island– Published October 26th, 2014
A personal favourite of the author's (who is writing in third person now, for some reason) about the pursuit of a different, better place and time than the here and now. Also, there are ducks.
- Friday Fictioneers: Waking Up– Published October 17th, 2014
Free-indirect style runs absolutely wild as the horrors of waking up are presented for all to see in startling clarity and detail.
- Friday Fictioneers: Metal and Vinyl– Published October 11th, 2014
In a more melancholic entry, a youthful chap (or chapess, I never decided) dreams about bigger, louder things.

The snarkiness of youth is strong in this one. Watch as two unnamed young'uns use their valuable days of youth tormenting each other with a mysterious object.
- Friday Fictioneers: Colour Switchboard– Published September 25th, 2014
Stream-of-Consciousness is applied to observations about a nearby hospital. It involves colours! Everybody loves COLOURS.

- Friday Fictioneers: Fun– Published September 4th, 2014

- Friday Fictioneers: Sickly Pale– Published August 8th, 2014
For whatever inconceivable reason, I decided to make this entry a bit more sober than my last five. In it, I look at a boy with a debilitating illness and his mother who may or may not be insane. Really, it's a fun time for the whole family.
- Friday Fictioneers: Satan's Lunch Bell– Published July 31st, 2014
Written in a state of sleep-deprived delerium and inspired by my adventures during the day it was written, I write a tale where Satan is blamed for the mishaps of a plane stuck on a runway. Maybe it's one of his hobbies he just happened to pick up.
- Friday Fictioneers: The Battle of Dinnerplate 6– Published July 24th, 2014
Writing again of childlike whimsy, The Battle of Dinnerplate 6 shows a child turn into an omnicidal maniac as he ruthlessly destroys his peas. He'll probably turn into a serial killer/criminal mastermind one day with this kind of childhood.
- Friday Fictioneers: A Moment's Peace– Published July 18th, 2014
Working off of a much more, shall we say, "unnerving" picture this time around, I try my best to spin a tale that is 100 words or less that deals with guilt, and haunting, and scariest of all, RAMS.
- Friday Fictioneers: The Necromancer– Published July 10th, 2014
Putting aside my Serial Serialization Syndrome, I tackle a picture of a cloudy sky and write a story in 100 words about a young Frankenstein about to have his/her (I never really decided which) dreams crushed by brutal reality. A real spirit-lifter of a tale!

Let's try again...In deciding which movies to watch on my TimeWarner/Spectrum cable service, I'd press info button on my remote while viewing a movie listing in the guide. In addition to the description, in most wide-release movies there also appears to be a "Metacritic" rating, which is a nice feature to aid us customers in choosing which movie to watch.One recent night I came across a series of movies in a row that were all listed with a Metacritic rating of 76. I thought, "Five in a row? That seems an unlikely coincidence..." So I looked up these films on the Metacritic website:Pirate Radio - Spectrum: 76, ACTUAL Metacritic rating: 58Big Fish - Spectrum: 76, ACTUAL Metacritic rating: 58Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason - Spectrum 76, ACTUAL Metacritic rating: 44Hoop Dreams - Spectrum: 76, ACTUAL Metacritic rating: 98And on, and on, and on...Perhaps the conduit between Spectrum and Metacritic is broken - though it's pretty odd that it when it broke it pegged at 76, and not, say 0 or 100, or some other random number. 76 is pretty conveniently high (especially when one considers that most of the movies run are curiously under that threshold.Anyway, I'm bummed that it's not working, as I admire the Metacritic service and I've come to develop a trust in their ratings - it would be a nice feature to have (if it worked). But I'm also pretty unhappy TWC/Spectrum for not either: 1. removing it as it's clearly not working OR, were I to assign malicious intent, 2. for TWC/S intentionally pegging all movies at 76 to make it appear that the movies being aired are better than they are.Anyway, I hope you address this issue. I've also emailed Metacritic. I figure they should know about this too.Anyone else notice this?
Hey Adams,
That's great to get information out to people like that. I think your first post got deleted because it had censored profanity in the title, and the forum rules don't allow that. (No profanity, even censored, is permitted.) Otherwise, this is a great post and now I will check my own Metacritic data and see if I got a 76 on all my number ratings. Gracenote media does the listing data for the guides. However, I am not sure who to contact there.

No problems here in Wisconsin with Metacritic. Ratings on pressing Info show different results. Anybody else havng these issues? Adams, can you tell us what movies you tested that have the same Metacritic rating?
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I was able to reproduce the issue reported by @adams and @reds91185 on our test account (in Buffalo). I reached out to Gracenote and reported the issue.

It has been a very busy month for me in the studio. I have a handful of new paintings finished, some of which headed for the Mark Penney Gallery In Ucluelet, and another group to go to the Morris Gallery in Victoria. It mostly seems to be trees trees trees! It is what I love to paint the most, but at the same time I am getting bored with the repetition just a little. I was thinking about mixing it up somewhat but didnt know where to start when I received two commission requests. Both for subjects I am not used to painting. Ahh...be careful what you wish for! A challenge! Its all fine though. I will see what I can come up with. I have managed to pull off some pretty surprising things iin the past so I try not to get too stressed about it. Just letting the client know that it may not work out takes the pressure off. If a client wishes a certain landscape or tree it is a different story altogether.
The painting "Seaside Tango" will be donated to the Nile Creek Salmon Enhancements event, Paintings by Numbers, 2015. A great cause for an organization that is making real change in our local rivers. For more information go to http://nilecreek.org. <br>
Below are my 5 latest paintings off the easel!
Ok, Off the light the woodstove in the studio and get back to work!
"The Over seer" "Alone Time" 30x15
"Unruly Offspring" "Seaside Tango" 24x36
"Bough to the Sea 16x40

I am not so good at marketing myself though. The studio tour went great. Just enough visitors so that I didnt feel overwhelmed in my quiet little space but enough interested buyers to make it all worthwhile. I should have gathered email contact information to inform that I have finished one of the paintings (Heron Cove) that quite a few people were expressing interest in. I guess I will have to display it here on my blog entry and hope these people are reading! At the time of the studio tour I was fixating on the rock that "was not right". It did make for good conversation but probably not the way an artist should go about selling his/her work. Oh well, I am definitely more of a painter than a marketer, and its all good.
The following paintings can be found in the " Westcoast studio on the Studio page.

I managed to resolve some paintings today in between visitors and I am looking forward to getting back in the studio for the second and final day tomorrow.

Introducing our guest blogger, David Gluckman. David Gluckman was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa on 1st November 1938, the day Sea Biscuit and War Admiral fought out the race of the century at Pimlico Park, Baltimore. Educated in Johannesburg, he joined a local advertising agency after university and soon fell in love with the business.
He made the pilgrimage to London in 1961 and worked as an account executive on Procter & Gamble, Kerrygold, Lyons teas and several Unilever accounts. Always a frustrated copywriter, he escaped into product development in 1969, met a man from IDV and his life changed forever. He lives in London with his partner, Barbara Bryant, has one daughter, Romany Turner, and a grandson, Marlo.
I recently finished writing a book about my working life. Though I tried as hard as I could, I wasn't able to persuade a publisher to take it on. So I had to publish it myself.
Having completed the text, I scoured the internet over a few months looking for someone to design the cover. I either ran into nameless, faceless dirt cheap designers from places like Mangalore or Manila, who would do me a dozen covers for £30. Or there were (allegedly) global outfits who had done everything from Shakespeare to Solzhenitsyn and would show me a good time for a five-digit fee.
In my brand development life we got little joy from large design outfits. The presentations were flash, the suits were impressive – but we never met the individuals who did the designing. We only met front men who were great at talking the talk. But in reality, all our successful designs came from small outfits where we met the people who did the drawing and were able to inspire them with our enthusiasm. This was my book, my project and I wanted a one-man band.
Then I came across Jamie Keenan. I saw his designs on the internet and I thought they were wonderfully imaginative. And he'd done everyone from Richard Dawkins to Kazuo Ishiguro so I figured he'd do for me. I called him up.
"How big is your company?" I asked. "I'm it." He replied. He worked in a small studio in Dalston in North London. "What's your book about?" he asked. "It's about inventing new brands mainly in the drinks business," I replied. He asked if he could read it. I asked, in exchange, if we could meet. (I don't imagine he met Dawkins or Ishiguro.) He asked me to give him a couple of weeks to read the book and I did.
We met one lunch time. I wanted to chat and find out about him and his approach to design. We talked. He kept looking at his bag. He said he had been quite intimidated by the thesis in my book that I didn't like designers who presented a raft of options in response to a brief. I liked people who came with a single idea, who really believed they had solved the problem. That's how I had worked. No Plan B.
He said, gingerly "I have a design for you." I hadn't expected it. It was a single thought. Here it is. I thought it was inspired and I bought it on the spot. It made me think that if there was a lesson in my book, Jamie had applied it. He saw what I was getting at in asking for a single solution. It would have been easy for him to have done a dozen designs and left the decision to me. But he didn't. He put his reputation on the line. And it worked.

Post primary schools across Northern Ireland have the opportunity to win a £1,000 energy prize in the CCEA and Ulster University's Centre for Sustainable Technologies Green Schools NI competition.
Registration for the competition closes on Friday 13 November, with teachers simply providing their centre name, centre number, teacher name and student names and years before the closing date.
To register for the competition, teachers should email firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday 13 November 2015. Final reports will need to be submitted by 4 December 2015.
The challenge set for students this year is to design a new sports facility for their school which uses sustainable, energy efficient and environmental technologies. The first 40 schools to enter the competition will receive free energy measuring equipment worth up to £50.
The competition is open to students in years 12 to 14 studying STEM subjects. With the support of a STEM subject teacher, students will be asked to assess a potential site in their school grounds and propose an innovative building design which utilises renewable and energy efficient measures to meet the building's energy needs.
The winners will receive a top prize of £1,000 in renewable or energy technologies for their school.
Justin Edwards, Chief Executive of CCEA, comments: "We are delighted to be teaming up once again with Ulster University to launch the Green Schools NI competition for the second year running. The competition encourages innovative thinking among students in the area of sustainable and energy efficient building design and use. Students studying CCEA's GCE in Environmental Technology may find the competition of particular interest."
Professor Philip Griffiths, Head of School of the Built Environment at Ulster University, stated: "We were very impressed with the enthusiasm, quality of the work and the skills demonstrated by the participating students in last year's Green Schools NI competition. This year's competition is shaped around the same principles of sustainability and environmental awareness. Ulster's BSc (Hons) Energy and BEng (Hons) Architectural Engineering courses aim to produce graduates able to provide innovative and forward-thinking solutions to meet the global energy challenges for a sustainable future. Start your energy career at Ulster University."
All participating schools will have the opportunity to present their ideas at an award ceremony which will be held at the Ulster University campus in Jordanstown at the end of January 2016.

Our thesis zooms in on the structures of Copenhagen's local committees' district plans and their interaction with the government and the City Council. District plans must represent the voice of the citizens, in regards to the development of their neighborhoods. Local Committees are an important conduit for local democracy in large municipalities where the central government has been, and still is moving further away from their citizens. District plans are a tool to add a participatory contribution to the urban planning. Our thesis is concerned with examining the conditions of the participatory contribution, and furthermore how the guidelines set for district plans are affecting the participatory contribution. It is possible to induce a certain level of public involvement, but if governments and politicians control the process, it will affect the qualitative resource the public involvement potentially possesses. Our theoretical framework builds upon the communicative planning theory of Bo Elling. We use this optic to illustrate the structures surrounding the district plans and the rationales from which they are created, in order to examine whether they are suitable for citizen involvement in urban development or not. It is important that the various rationales of the various institutions complement each other in order to achieve a long-term and holistically oriented planning.

THEY have become a staple of the Fringe, treading the fine line between performance art, satire and titillation. But following a critical review in The Scotsman in which they were branded "miserable-looking women" adorned with the "glazed expressions of porn stars", Edinburgh's burlesque performers are fighting back.
<p style="clear:both;"
• These members of Circus Burlesque could be among the dancers set to protest outside The Scotsman today
Supporters of the art form are set to march on this newspaper's offices today to voice their disapproval at the negative review, in which Scotsman critic Sally Stott described one dancer as having an expression "somewhere between a crack addict and a blown-up sex doll".
Elsewhere in her piece in the The Scotsman's Festival supplement, which provides the most extensive and highly-regarded coverage of the festival season, Stott describes Circus Burlesque, at the Assembly@George Street venue, as depressing.
"Here, you'll have the dubious pleasure of watching a string of miserable-looking women, with the glazed expressions of porn stars, take off shiny nylon underwear in a way that is anything but subversive, or even sexy" she says, giving it two out of five stars.
The performers are not impressed, leading to today's protest march from the Assembly Rooms in George Street to The Scotsman's office in Holyrood Road where staff will be confronted by the sight of the scantilly-clad demonstrators.
Tempest Rose, compere of the Circus Burlesque show, said: "As a community, we really feel that Sally Stott is claiming that burlesque pushes an agenda to women that stripping off is empowering. She misses the point that burlesque performers enjoy what they do because it promotes the idea that a woman can be intelligent and powerful as well as expressing and enjoying their sensuality and that the two are not mutually exclusive to each other."
Ms Rose said the performers took offence at the descriptions comparing them to crack addicts, sex dolls and miserable-looking porn stars. She said this was also offensive to the audiences who enjoyed burlesque, the majority of whom were women. Burlesque and cabaret performers across Scotland have been invited to today's protest.
Responding to their concerns, Stott stood by her comments.
"I went to see the show with an open mind.
"Having read quite a lot about burlesque I was thinking I would see quite glamorous, sophisticated images, maybe with stripping but not seedy. But going to see the shows I was really disappointed, and I don't know whether it was just the burlesque at Edinburgh this year or if it is burlesque generally."
An Assembly Festival spokeswoman said they were "incredibly supportive" of the Circus Burlesque act.
"It has been receiving very favourable four-star reviews from other publications, so it has been critically well-received," she said. "Audiences are voting with their feet and they are looking at sold-out houses on almost every night."
Andrew Eaton, The Scotsman's arts editor, said: "If Sally's piece has provoked debate that's healthy; provoking debate is exactly what a good Fringe reviewer should be doing."

A 19 year-old student of the Precarpathian University philosophy department Roman Guryk, was killed yesterday in Kyiv during the fatal violence. Today, there were no classes at the university. A memorial service was held at the university in the morning followed by a memorial service outside the Regional Administration building. His funeral will be held on Monday, while the Student Resistance will be holding two memorials at the weekend in the Prosvita Centre.
Yesterday evening outside the Regional Administration building a memorial service was held for all those killed. The city marked what was already, before yesterday's mass killings, already an official day of mourning following deaths on Tuesday, by becoming unusually quiet. Not only was it a case of people generally avoiding socialising in cafes, but shops were largely free of music while the massive advertising screens around the city were silenced.
Usually these screens on the Market Square, by the theatre or, this one, on Vichevyj Maydan, or Rally Square, by the post office, the site of the original Euromaidan protests in the city, blare out unbearably loud adverts for local businesses. The concept of noise pollution is not yet widespread in Ukraine.
The city is clearly in mourning and shock, with the mass deaths in Kyiv and the death of a local student adding to the feeling which disrupts the usual atmosphere of this Central European city characterised by cafe culture, by going for a stroll around the city, by sitting on benches and having a chat or playing board games. Those aspects of the city's life are clearly muted.
But still, everyday life goes on, or struggle on, while the revolution and resistance also continues in its various innovative and potentially violent ways.
In terms of everyday life, the potential collapse of the currency or economy is taking its toll, as are feelings of panic induced by fears of martial law or a state of emergency. People have begun making massive withdrawals from cash machines and banks, with queues forming at odd times outside the State Savings Bank or branches of PrivatBank not having any cash. The cash, where possible, might be exchanged into solid foreign currencies, or it has been spent on stockpiling goods. By Thursday night, the supermarkets that remained open were clearly short of cooking oil, grain and buckwheat, milk and bread, while other reports suggest salt was in short supply. Not everyone, though, as cash to withdraw or exchange, since many state employees, including university lecturers, had not received their pay this month. Only this morning was some money paid into accounts, although this was merely one third of the amount due. Either the state is deliberately trying to control the amount of money available to stem panic buying – or the state treasury is actually running out of cash.
At the moment, there is no evidence that lecturers are willing to self-organise like the students or those who are occupying central Kyiv.
Most private businesses are running as usual, although the three stores of supermarket chain Silpo were blockaded on Tuesday and Wednesday. Likewise, the central market was shut down with stallholders stating that they were "forced to volunteer" to go on strike. The market is owned by a local Party of Regions figure, thus it was forced by local activists to shut down. I have not been able to establish the connection between Silpo and the Party of Regions. However, by today the supermarkets and the market were open again and well-stocked and doing a roaring trade. Prices, despite the weakening of the Ukrainian hryvnia, seem fairly stable – for now.
Another store that was blockaded was Epicentre, the Ukrainian B&Q. The managers of the city branch were asked to supply goods useful to protesters in Kyiv, which they duly did, even putting online an invoice which became their donation to the cause. That store will remain closed until the conclusion of the revolution, according to activists. Yesterday evening, when we entered the Student Resistance HQ, we could see young men and some women working on turning these goods into shields and basic weaponry, while they also possessed some ready-made versions. They've now sent a convoy of weapons, shields and fighters to Kyiv.
Yesterday, there were reports that busloads of "titushky", or government-sponsored street fighters, were being transported to the city. This meant that all roads into the city, beginning with the bridge over the river, were blockaded and patrolled by baseball-bat wielding youths. No titushky entered the city, although the rumours that they were already in the city spread like wildfire especially among the older population less likely to have been online with up-to-date information. However, the fear of potential violence did close a language school in the city for the day, while some students were summoned home by their parents.
The situation in the city is currently fairly peaceful compared to Tuesday and Wednesday when the Security Office was being stormed, likewise the Prosecutor's Office and the Tax Office. Despite this relative calm, it is somewhat disconcerting to see order being kept by teenagers and men in their twenties masked and with baseball bats. Representatives of Right Sector/ Pravyj Sektor and Maidan Self-Defence are cooperating with police as of tonight in patrolling the city. Lviv police today went to Kyiv for the first time and joined the protesters, offering their protection while also siding with the more moderate Maidan Self-Defence in order to support the negotiated end to the current regime. Ivano-Frankivsk police are likely to follow suit. Although in Kyiv they might encounter Right Sector activists who, at the moment, seem determined to push through a violent end to the Yanukovych regime, promising to use arms in storming government buildings tomorrow morning.

What is
Maritime Distress
and Safety System
(GMDSS) has
major improvements in
maritime safety and communications. GMDSS
is an automated ship to shore distress alerting system that relies on
satellite and advanced terrestrial communications links. The system also
provides some limited ship to ship communications capabilities, as well as items
specific to Search & Rescue activities such as EPIRBs and SARTs.
Every ship subject to the communications act or the safety convention must
comply with GMDSS.
These vessels include:
passenger ships regardless of size
ships of 300 gross tons and upward
more information about the GMDSS=>
Marine Equipment Directive=>
International Maritime Organization=>
is a system based on the linking of Search and Rescue (SAR)
authorities ashore with shipping in the immediate vicinity of a vessel in
distress or in need of assistance. The primary purpose of GMDSS is to
automate and improve emergency communications for the world's shipping industry.
GMDSS uses a number of frequencies, modes and systems to accomplish this
mission. The Global Marine Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) uses
both satellite and terrestrial radio systems because each system has its own
individual limitations with respect to geographical coverage and services it can
The Basic concept of GMDSS is to alert SAR authorities ashore and vessels
in the vicinity of a distress so they can assist in a coordinated search and
rescue operation with minimum delay. EPIRBs and other radio systems are
used to 'raise the alarm' in an emergency, and some EPIRBs also provide
approximate location information. SARTs, on the other hand, greatly
improve the ease and speed of locating and rescuing the survivors, by
displaying an Internationally recognized signature on the radar screens of
passing vessels or aircraft. No specialist equipment needs to be carried by the
receiving craft, so any passing vessels or aircraft will be able to react
to the SART's signal, reducing the all-important time-to-rescue
rules state that all registered vessels above 300 gross tonnes must carry at least
one SART, and those above 500 gross tonnes at least two SARTs.
SARTs have proved themselves invaluable
in rapidly locating survivors — so much so that SOLAS requirements now
specify SARTs to also be fitted to life-rafts in Ro-Ro ferries from July
The new
legislation calls for a SART to be fitted to one in every four liferafts, but it
is anticipated that in due course this will be extended to include every
liferaft (after all, which liferaft would you want to be in?)
The IMO
GMDSS Handbook provides an explanation of the principles upon which the GMDSS
is based, the radio-communication requirements and recommendations for its
implementation, the operational performance standards and technical
specifications to be met by GMDSS equipment, and the procedures for and
method of operation of the various radio services which form the GMDSS
and the Master Plan for the GMDSS.

During the Next Generation Dx summit 2017 in Washington, DC, Dr Neil Polwart — Novarum DX founder and BBI group head of mobile — will discuss the impact smartphones will have on the healthcare industry in the next few years.
Polwart will be highlighting the potential of smartphones to shift diagnostic testing from labs to the point-of-care during a keynote speaker panel on Disruptive Technologies in Lab Medicine.
"The Next Generation Dx summit is a major event within the healthcare calendar and I'm delighted to be taking part in the summit's technology panel discussion," commented Polwart. "It's an incredibly exciting time to be working in the healthcare sector. Disruptive technologies are driving a step-change in diagnostic testing at a significant rate — and the smartphone is a catalyst in empowering patients to conduct their own test and manage their own conditions, from the comfort of their own home."
"Healthcare is rapidly moving away from a scenario where diagnostic testing could only be carried out in a highly controlled and regulated laboratory," he continued. "We are now entering a landscape where patients can conduct their diagnostic tests with the same level of accuracy, compared to lab conditions, and share results instantly with healthcare professionals — using only the smartphone in their pocket."
The Next Generation Dx summit will be held 15–18 August in Washington, DC, and is anticipated to attract over 1,000 industry professionals from the diagnostics arena.
Novarum — a wholly owned subsidiary of BBI solutions — offers a software tool, the Novarum Reader, that enables users to read and share the results of diagnostic assays using a smartphone. This technology allows testing in any location and results can be shared quickly via the cloud using a specifically designed web interface or existing data management platforms.

Los Angeles, CA After her TV show was put on hold following her harrowing robbery in Paris where she was tied up and robbed, Kim Kardashian began a new crusade.
"This incident really put the 'bare ass' in embarrassment" ranted Kim. "How could anyone see THIS ass and not rape it! I'm not saying that I wanted to be raped because I didn't but still, the media didn't need to emphasize that so much. And nobody emphasized that I was half-naked and no one ran half-naked pictures of me! I have a career to protect and I blame the City of Paris. That is why I have told my lawyers to start preparing a list and subpoenas for everyone in Paris" said Kim.
Paris had no comment.


text: A revival of Spiegel's campotomy: long term results of the stereotactic pallidothalamic tractotomy against the parkinsonian thalamocortical dysrhythmia 7 September 2015 The over-inhibition of thalamic relay cells by hyperactivity of the internal part of the globus pallidus is a cornerstone of the parkinsonian pathophysiology that leads to a distortion of the thalamocortical dynamics called thalamocortical dysrhythmia (TCD). Here, we present the results of the stereotactic pallidothalamic tractotomy (PTT), which interrupts selectively the enhanced pallidal output to the thalamus in a restricted location in the fields of Forel. This operation represents a reactualization of Spiegel's campotomy. PTT was offered to 41 patients (66.1 + 8.5 years) suffering from chronic, therapy-resistant Parkinson's disease. It was performed bilaterally in 21 patients. Forty patients displayed mixed, i.e. tremulent and akinetic parkinsonian signs, and seven had drug-induced dyskinesias. One patient had only rest tremor. The evaluation was based on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores, comparing the patients' preoperative medicated state with the state at the last postoperative follow-up. We, thus, tested surgical success in terms of superiority to drug treatment. Mean follow-up was 22.4 months with 15 patients followed for > 2 years. Mean improvement was 60% (P < 0.001) for UPDRS III and 51% (P < 0.001) for UPDRS II. Significant improvement (P < 0.001) appeared in subscores for tremor (87%), limb akinesia (58%) and axial akinesia (33%). Improvement of postural stability and gait was at the limit of significance (P < 0.05). Improvement of hypomimia and hypophonia did not reach statistical significance. Increase of dysarthria was significant (P < 0.01). Intake of L-DOPA was reduced significantly and 21 patients were able to stop intake. Median improvement of the Quality of Life score was 67%. Improvement remained, independent of follow-up length. In conclusion, PTTprovides a high, stable level of relief to parkinsonian patients whose condition cannot be controlled with pharmacotherapy. The rationale of the surgical therapy is based on a selective extrathalamic regulation of the parkinsonian TCD.

Concerns about privacy in the real world continues to increase. Mozilla is trying to realize it by presenting the latest browsing software next year.
Firefox web browsing software allows users to hide their privacy, particularly in removing traces of their online activity. This software will be provided free of charge.
"We believe the Internet community requires technology that can erase their tracks in cyberspace. We believe they do not want do not want to know, which sites they've visited," said Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs, as quoted by the Straits Times, Monday (20 / 12/2010).
According to Kovacs, the user has the right to control their own privacy while on the move in cyberspace. The reason for this kind of information has been misused by internet service providers to support and personalize advertising services on the Internet so that more targeted. Unfortunately, such information would never have asked permission first to the parties concerned internet users.
"It's not advertising but this is not good about what they did to that information. Every time you visit a site, will be illustrated how your lifestyle really is. A lot of data that they have taken only to provide us with unwanted ads," said Kovacs .
The same thing will be done when launching Microsoft Internet Explorer browser (IE9) them. In IE9 users it is possible to deter third parties who want to track style internet users. Feature called 'Tracking Protection' that will be pinned on IE9 trial version that will be launched early next year.
IE9 Users can enable 'tracking protection' and create a list of third-party companies that are not desired.

About two thousand years ago, Christ came down from the heavenly sanctuary (Exodus 15:17; Psalm 102:19; Hebrews 8:1, 2) to earth, which is the anti-typical courtyard of the earthly sanctuary, to set the affairs of fallen man in order. It is His desire is to lead all men to prepare themselves for inception into His spiritual kingdom by fulfilling His will on Earth as it is in heaven.
"Great changes are soon to take place in the world, and everyone will need an experimental knowledge of the things of God. It is the work of Satan to dishearten the people of God and to unsettle their faith. He tries in every way to insinuate doubts and questionings in regard to the position, the faith, the plans, of the men upon whom God has laid the burden of a special work and who are zealously doing that work. Although he may be baffled again and again, yet he renews his attacks, working through those who profess to be humble and God-fearing, and who are apparently interested in, or believers of, present truth. The advocates of truth expect fierce and cruel opposition from their open enemies, but this is far less dangerous than the secret doubts expressed by those who feel at liberty to question and find fault with what God's servants are doing. These may appear to be humble men; but they are self-deceived, and they deceive others. In their hearts are envy and evil surmisings. They unsettle the faith of the people in those in whom they should have confidence, those whom God has chosen to do His work; and when they are reproved for their course they take it as personal abuse. While professing to be doing God's work they are in reality aiding the enemy.
"Brethren, never allow anyone's ideas to unsettle your faith in regard to the order and harmony which should exist in the church. Many of you do not see all things clearly. The directions in regard to order in the tabernacle service were recorded that lessons might be drawn from it by all who should live upon the earth. Men were selected to do various parts of the work of setting up and taking down the tabernacle, and if one strayed in carelessly and put his hands to the work assigned to another, he was to be put to death. We serve the same God today. But the death penalty has been abolished; had it not been, there would not now be so much careless, disorderly work in His cause. The God of heaven is a God of order, and He requires all His followers to have rules and regulations, and to preserve order. All should have a perfect understanding of God's work.
"It is unsafe to cherish doubt in the heart even for a moment. The seeds of doubt which Pharaoh sowed when he rejected the first miracle were allowed to grow, and they produced such an abundant harvest that all subsequent miracles could not persuade him that his position was wrong. He continued to venture on in his own course, going from one degree of questioning to another, and his heart became more and more hardened until he was called to look upon the cold, dead faces of the first-born."1Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, pp. 273, 274
"Every child of God is to do his very best to uplift the standard of truth. He is to work in God's order. If self is exalted, Christ is not magnified. In His Word God compares Himself to a potter, and His people to the clay. His work is to mold and fashion them after His own similitude. The lesson they are to learn is the lesson of submission. Self is not to be made prominent. If due attention is given to the divine instruction, if self is surrendered to the divine will, the hand of the Potter will produce a shapely vessel."2Letter 78, 1901
"The potter takes the clay in his hands and molds and fashions it according to his own will. He kneads it and works it. He tears it apart and then presses it together. . . . Thus it becomes a vessel fit for use. So the great Master Worker desires to mold and fashion us. And as the clay is in the hands of the potters, so are we to be in His hands. We are not to try to do the work of the potter. Our part is to yield ourselves to the molding of the Master Worker."3Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, pp. 186, 187

In the early 1820s, the colonists of NSW were beginning to see the colony in a more favourable light as a 'true mine of colonial wealth'. They were fortunate in having a responsible and far-sighted Governor in Ralph Darling, who tried to endow the colony with, among other things, a fine permanent and all-encompassing road system.
In 1826 a petition was received from the wealthy and articulate settlers of the Hunter Valley and construction commenced with a small force of 62 men at Castle Hill shortly thereafter. The original line of the Great North Road had already been surveyed by Assistant Surveyor Heneage Finch in 1825. The line of road selected was a conglomeration of existing tracks, routes newly discovered by settlers, and the lines of ridges north and south of Wisemans Ferry as you can see from the drawing. In 1826 a petition was received from the wealthy and articulate settlers of the Hunter Valley and construction commenced with a small force of 62 men at Castle Hill North shortly thereafter. The works at Wisemans Ferry initially were surpervised by Lt. Jonathon Warner of the Royal Veterans, seemingly based on thrift and expedience with the walls and drainage structures scarce, crudely and poorly built. The road itself is in places narrow and winding even by contemporary standards.
This work contrasts dramatically with the impressive structures supervised by Warner's successor, Lt. Percy Simpson who arrived at Wisemans Ferry in mid-1828. Over a four-year period, he controlled a constantly changing workforce… convicts, the majority in chain-gangs. He designed a road which scaled steep rocky valleys between Wisemans Ferry and Mt Manning. Simpson's involvement on the road covered a period when the new Surveyor-General Thomas Mitchell was assigned the reassessment of the road's location. Mitchell had his own vision of the road as a great thoroughfare and had obsession about the directness of roads, to the extent that he varied the line and added branches. The conflicts of advice, opinion and administrative action came into evidence from the level of the Governor down.
Governor Darling was recalled to Britain in 1832 and with him went the impetus towards completion of all the Great Roads. The labour force dwindled to two gangs of ten men each (many referred to as 'cripples'). Finally from 1832, settlers used the newly established steamboat service between Sydney and Newcastle. If they did travel by road, they often ignored the official road, following instead the more direct (or hospitable) lines such as the Maroota Ridge Road, the St Alban's Road or the Peat's Ferry Road.
In 1836, the Great North Road was virtually abandoned, probably unfinished. For these likely reasons, much material evidence survives, providing a record not only of the impressive structures but also the more modest work undertaken by the superintendents, surveyors, and convicts in the road-gangs and the chain-gangs

Computer Entertainment Rating Organization
The Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (Japanese: 特定非営利活動法人コンピュータエンターテインメントレーティング機構 Hepburn: Tokutei Hieiri Katsudō Hōjin Konpyūta Entāteinmento Rētingu Kikō) (CERO) is a Japanese entertainment rating organization based in Tokyo that rates video game content in console games with levels of rating that informs the customer of the nature of the product and for what age group it is suitable. It was established in June 2002 as a branch of Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association, and became an officially recognized nonprofit organization in December 2003.
|Nonprofit organization
|Video game content rating system
|June 2002
|Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan
Area served
Key people
|Kazuya Watanabe
On March 1, 2006, CERO implemented the latest revision of its rating system. The symbols that CERO uses are stylized Latin letters, named after academic grading, except "F" is replaced with "Z". Each is meant to convey a game's suitability for minors. Age classification marks include the following five marks. One of the marks is indicated on the left bottom of the game box front, and a corresponding color bar is also shown on the box spine. (Bar colors: black for "A"; green for "B"; blue for "C"; orange for "D"; red for "Z")
|All Ages (全年齢対象 Zen nenrei taishō)
|Expressions and content subjected to age-specific limitation are not included in the game, thereby being suitable for all ages. All games that used to be rated All go into this category.
|Ages 12 and up (12才以上対象 Jūnisai ijō taishō)
|Expression and content suitable only to 12-year-olds and above are included in the game. All games that used to be rated 12 go into this category.
|Ages 15 and up (15才以上対象 Jūgosai ijō taishō)
|Expression and content suitable only to 15-year-olds and above are included in the game. All games that used to be rated 15 go into this category.
|Ages 17 and up (17才以上対象 Jūnanasai ijō taishō)
|Contains some adult material. Anyone under 17 cannot buy video games with this rating without parental consent. Expression and content suitable only to 17-year-olds and above are included in the game. Some games that used to be rated 18 go into this category.
|Ages 18 and up only (18才以上のみ対象 Jūhassai ijō nomi taishō)
|Content is clearly adult. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to buy video games with this rating. Expression and content suitable only to 18-year-olds and above are included in the game. Some games that used to be rated 18 go into this category.
|Educational/Database (教育・データベース Kyouiku Deetabeesu)
|A special rating applied only to non-game, educational/utility software (e.g. books) released on consoles aimed to older audiences (games like this aimed to children are rated A instead). Despite having education in its name, it can still feature expressions and content that might not be suitable for minors.
|Rating Scheduled (審査予定 Shinsa yotei)
|The game has not been assigned its final rating. Used in trailers and advertisements for games that have not been assigned their final rating from CERO.
|CERO Regulations-Compatible (規定適合 Kitei tekigō)
|Applied only to trial versions of games. Titles with this rating do not have all of the expressions and content featured in the full game.[1]
Content Descriptor IconsEdit
In April 2004, CERO defined the following "content descriptor icons".[citation needed] These icons are displayed on the back of all game packages except on those rated "A" or "Educational/Database".
|Content Descriptors
|Corresponding Ratings
|Kissing, hugging, embrace, etc.
|Sexual Content
|Underwear exposure, sex, nudity, sex references, swimwear/costume, etc.
|Violence, violent references, blood, gore, animated blood, etc.
|Jumpscares, scary images, scary sounds, etc.
|Drinking alcohol, smoking, vaping, alcohol references, tobacco references, etc.
|Gambling with virtual currency, depictions of illegal gambling, etc.
|Murder, theft, kidnapping, incest, human trafficking, rape, street racing, gangs, etc.
|Use of drugs, drug references, depictions of illegal drugs, etc.
|Use of profanity, discriminatory language, etc.
According to Kazuya Watanabe, CERO's senior director, the group of assessors is composed of five regular people unaffiliated with the game industry. They are trained by rating past games. The rating process is determined by 30 different types of content ranging from sexual content to violence. In addition six types of content are not allowed. Each content is rated using the A to Z scale that the labels use. After the group evaluates the game, the results are sent to CERO's main office where the final rating attempts to use the majority of the evaluators' ratings.
Scandals and controversyEdit
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2011)
One month after the initial release of Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, shipments of it were halted due to it having been mis-rated.[2] It was re-released a few days later with a B rating from CERO.[3] Its A (All ages) rating was revoked and it was given a B (Ages 12+) rating instead, due to some provocative scenes featured in-game. One of these features several female characters in a hot spring with their genitalia covered, and most of their cleavage and buttocks hidden by towels and heavy steam effects. There are also some outfits that reveal moderate amounts of cleavage, and slightly see-through articles of clothing throughout the game. The in-game camera can also be scrolled to view female characters' underwear (lingerie). The game was originally rated for all ages due to Gust allegedly not providing them with the complete content of the game for them to review.
CERO has been criticized by other rating boards for being more strict on content (other strict rating boards include Australia's ACB, South Korea's GRAC, etc.) in games while other rating boards have been known to be more lenient on content (other lenient rating boards include North America's ESRB, Taiwan's GSRR, etc.) in games. One example of this is the game Dragon's Crown. While it was left uncensored for both its English and Japanese releases, it got a T for Teen rating (Ages 13+) from the ESRB while it got a D rating (Ages 17+) from CERO. Normally T for Teen (Ages 13+) games equate to a B (Ages 12+) or C (Ages 15+) rating from CERO. The reasons the game didn't get one of those two was because the Japanese felt that the game's content goes too far to get one of those ratings. Some of the content in the game that got it the D (Ages 17+) rating includes acts of crime considered to be on a D (Ages 17+) level, a scene showing a creature's head being cut off with some blood shown, the outfits some of the female characters wear reveal large amounts of cleavage (which jiggle in an exaggerated manner) and buttocks, a picture of a female showing her exposed buttocks to the camera, and a picture showing the front part of a naked female with her body barely being covered by heavy steam effects.

Psalms for Worship
Praying (and our worship of God) is not the easiest thing to do, so these psalms are quite short ones. Starting with simple Celtic-style prayers and ending with the attempt to join in the prayer of heaven. Of course, we often find ourselves praying with other people in a group, and these psalms are specially suitable for use in that context (the first one could be spoken with a single voice saying the first half of the verse, and all joining in the second half).
Psalm of Living
Prayer is about the whole of life, though the first phrase is often used alone at the start of worship, which seems to indicate that only our words are of use to God!
Responsive Psalm
Familiar prayers can be used in a group, or by an individual.
Psalm of Communion
One of the strangest activities of church worship is the queueing up for communion! Yet it is a symbol of our pilgrimage with so many who have gone before us.
Psalm of Evangelism
Christians have something to share with other people, as we look for our own hope.
Psalm of Adoration
Words of trust and adoration that may be used in private or in public prayer.
Credal Psalm
Belief doesn't have to be complicated, even if it is not simple!
Psalm of Praise
God provides quenching for our thirst and sustenance at all times, so we bless our creator.
Psalm of Singing
A psalm to thank God through our various kinds of music and singing.
Psalm of Thanksgiving
The whole world is singing out the praise of our God. How I wish I could feel I were able to join in properly!
Worship Psalm
Traditionally, the words of praise are the sanctus (holy), used in the last book of the Bible as the praises of heaven.

Hello, Lovelies! I know you have been searching for the perfect gifts for this year, so I thought I'd share a few secrets. I have a few ideas for not only obtaining great gifts but also some great gifts to give. My first secret is Layaway plans. Stores like Sears, K-Mart, Marshalls, TJMaxx and Burlington Coat factory all still honor the wallet friendly option to shop now and pay later. In the weeks leading up to Christmas when the weather is cold but the sales are hot, I shop all the designer labels of these stores. Once I am satisfied with my payload, I am off to the Layaway counter where a deposit is all that is needed to hold all your treasures. Some stores want $10 for the 1st, $100 like K-Mart. Marshalls and Burlington require a percentage down either 10% or 20%. I spent nearly $ 80 at Burlington, checking off almost my entire shopping list, the compare to total was over $200 and all I took from my wallet to hold my finds was $20 down. The benefit is I don't need to spend everything in my purse at once in one store and there is no need to find a hiding place at home. When I know the house is empty and have some time to wrap the gifts I will venture back out to the Layaway registers to make my final payments and collect my gifts.
Now if stores, shopping and holiday madness isn't exactly your cup of tea there are a few sites that offer something for everyone. Restaurant.com offers gift cards to restaurants in your area for sometimes ½ the price, a $25 card for $10 or a $50 card for $20. You can get more card for less cash and can give the gift of a nice night out on you. My other favorite gift ideas are the "of the month" clubs. Sign a friend or family member to get a gift of the month. MonthClubStore.com offers such clubs as cookie of the month, popcorn of the month, cigar of the month, wine of the month and the list goes on and on. Pick the length you wish for them to receive gifts and what you want them to get, pay the amount and every month a new one will show up at their door to try out.
Hopefully my holiday secrets will give you some idea of what to get for the "I never know what to get you" on your list. Good luck with your gift giving and have a lovely little holiday.
