Thousands of security forces suppressed protestors in Tehran and other majority cities Sunday, according to CNN.It said the regime's forces struck at throngs of protestors with batons and rushed others on motorcycles.
More than 600 family members of those detained in recent days in Tehran after Monday's protests gathered in front of the notorious Evin Prison to protest the detention of their loved ones and to demand information about their situation, according to student groups and news agencies.
Following the large uprising against the regime in various cities in Iran on Monday, the regime's officials at the notorious Evin prison released the names of 1,500 people arrested and transferred to the prison on Monday night.According to Harana news agency on Tuesday, students and protestors have also been arrested by the regime's suppressive forces in the northeastern city of Mashhad.
A large number of youths in Tehran's Imam Hossein Square chanted "Death to Dictator" and "Viva Republic".
In Enqelab (Revolution) Square, a number of large book stores are closed down, and people and the store owners have been forced to stay inside.

Thousands of protestors poured out into the streets of Tehran and clashes took place in various parts of the capital between demonstrators and the regime's forces, CNN reported on Monday citing multiple witness accounts.
The news network said clashes took place in at least four areas of Tehran, including Imam Hossein Square, Enqelab Avenue, Tehran University, and Vali-e Asr Avenue.

ANTIOCH — Details about the removal of a longtime Deer Valley High School football coach were made public last month when he sued the school district.
Former Deer Valley football coach Rich Woods accused school district officials of libel, racial discrimination, emotional distress and labor code violations in a suit filed in state court on Sept. 20, court records show.
Woods alleges, among other things, that he was falsely accused of saying racist things about African-Americans and other nonwhite students in Antioch. Woods, who is white, also says that he was assumed to be a racist after he reported an African-American colleague for inappropriate workplace behavior.
The suit does not claim Woods was fired, but says he was removed as head coach, given a substitute teaching position and defamed, affecting his ability to get a head coaching job with another high school football team.
Neither attorneys for the school district nor Woods' attorneys agreed to comment on the case. Stephanie Anello, superintendent of Antioch Unified School District, also declined to comment.
Woods coached varsity football at Deer Valley from 2004 to 2015 and oversaw two undefeated seasons in 2006 and 2009. During his tenure, he got a tattoo of the school's initials.
In 2014, Woods was removed as a coach without explanation. His absence first became known in a November football game, when George Smylie served as an acting coach instead of Woods. Deer Valley Principal Kenneth Gardner would not comment on the reason for Woods' absence that day.
The actual date that Woods was removed is unknown. In 2015, AUSD officials denied a public records act request by this newspaper for emails and other records related to Woods' absence, saying the records referred to a personnel issue and were exempt from disclosure.
The suit says the trouble started after an assistant Deer Valley coach "appeared inebriated and out of control" at a football game. The suit does not name the assistant coach but says Woods reported to his superiors that the coach was "yelling, acting in a threatening manner and acting inappropriately."
Immediately afterward, the suit claims Woods was "subject to race bait attacks." It says he was falsely accused of using the N-word, telling African-American students to "take their (butts) back to Richmond" and making fun of a student whose family received public assistance.
"Prior to these events, (Woods) received awards for his coaching and the Deer Valley High School football team, (and) was extremely successful," the suit says.
Following this, the suit says that in September 2015, Woods was put in a "floater" substitute position where he worked for multiple schools. It says he re-applied to be head coach, but the application was denied.
Woods' replacement, head coach Robert Hubbard, was placed on administrative leave in October 2015 over allegations of unsportsmanlike conduct after his players warmed up as Pittsburg High School's marching band performed on the field. The incident was recorded on video, posted to Facebook and widely debated online.
The school district has not yet responded in court to the allegations.

How to use FHA 203k mortgage for improving energy efficiency?Answer:
The FHA 203k mortgage is the primary FHA program for single family home rehabilitation and improvements. One of the ways to use an FHA 203k is for improving energy efficiency projects.
To be eligible, a borrower has to show evidence that the FHA 203k mortgage will be less than the cost-effectiveness of the project. That is, the cost of saved energy has to be greater than the borrowed amount throughout the lifetime of the improvements.
The whole 100% of the improvement energy efficiency project can be accommodated into the FHA 203k mortgage loan and the amount cannot be either over $4000, or 5 percent of the house value and less than $8000. An official energy inspection has to determine the cost of the improvements, as well as the energy savings. The costs of the inspection can be included in the FHA 203k loan.
With the FHA 203k mortgage and an energy saving home improvements, you can go beyond the FHA loan limit for the county, but cannot exceed 110 percent of the real estate value.
Any new construction related to the energy efficiency project must well exceed any current FHA standards, such as the 1992 CABO Model Energy Code (MEC).

New York City, almost ten years from the day that Triangle Flight 699 exploded. Federal investigators have always deemed it a tragic accident but some people believe it was more than that. NYPD dog handler Keiran Lehane is one of those people, and when his dog alerts – i.e. detects a whiff of explosive – on someone at a review hearing, he finally has a lead that he can follow.
But as events escalate, it seems that while Lehane's suspicions seem justified, some people seem to be actively blocking his investigation, with at least one person willing to go to any measures to silence him. And with plans afoot to repeat the tragedy on its anniversary, can one man possibly stop another disaster?
Okay, before we start, don't judge the book by its cover. Because that's a pretty awful cover, and this isn't an awful book by any means.
It's actually a good fast-moving thriller. As the author points out, 99% of bomb squad activity is routine that wouldn't interest the reader (or the author) so this is a book that sets out to deliberately entertain. It's fast moving, not getting too bogged down with realism – the whole thing is set over a few days but in terms of the amount of things happening? – and the lead is entertaining company – driven but still a normal human being. He does have a stunning habit of making his friends forgive him for his seemingly irrational behaviour, but this isn't an deep introspective character piece – it's a thriller. The overall plot is multi-layered and keeps moving forward, taking the tale in a few unexpected directions, before tying everything up neatly for the conclusion.
Not in any sense a mystery – not that it tries to be – but there is at least one surprise on the bad guy side. If you're in the mood for a fast-paced thriller, however, you could do a lot worse than look this way.

Rype Office business design
The Rype Office business concept was developed from Lavery/Pennell's work on the Next Manufacturing Revolution, which identified the significant untapped value available from remanufacturing office furniture.
The business offers high quality remanufactured furniture at a significant discount to new. Environmentally, remade furniture has one third the footprint of new. And it creates skilled UK jobs because the remaking is done locally.
Lavery/Pennell built the business plan, constructed the value proposition and economic case, tested product prototypes and marketing propositions and implemented the business – all using rapid lean startup principles to minimise investment and maximise speed to market. This is one of Lavery/Pennell's own businesses.
Rype Office won a 2014 RBS Innovation Gateway award for being able to reduce costs and environmental footprint while providing UK jobs.
Click through to the Rype Office website.
Great idea – [there are] no reasons [why] office furniture should not be 'refreshed' and enjoy extended use, as the design of much of it doesn't really change.
Addresses a problem that is not often discussed but which represents a significant cost/resource stream. Has potential to be a catalyst for [the] circular economyJudges' comments

Two DU players talk about Gwozdecky, moving forward with "Monty"
Not sure what has run, what is running, but I have a boat-load of stuff from today's press conference and don't want to waste anything.
George Gwozdecky to Ohio State, Maine or UConn? Maybe. But Jim Montgomery is the man in Denver.
"It's been pretty crazy. At first there were a lot of questions, beginning with why (Gwozdecky was fired)?" DU sophomore forward Daniel Doremus of Aspen said after the press conference. "There was definitely a lot of upset players, including myself. If you look at all the success, you ask, 'Why did he get fired?' After the last couple days we've been embracing (Montgomery). The time has come, change is happening, and we have a new head coach."
Said freshman center Quentin Shore, born in Denver: "Big shock for all of us. I definitely didn't see it coming. Coach Gwozdecky did an unbelievable job of preparing us to win here. I have no doubts that our new coach, Coach Montgomery, will come in and continue that tradition."

Ben Poole
Ben Poole, Inspired by the Blues, infused with a hard hitting, "in-yer-face" rock approach and topped-off by virtuoso musicianship.Ben Poole is being talked of as "the" new up-and-coming UK Blues guitarist. One of the finest to have emerged in Europe for years. Having already played with, and received critical acclaim from some of his heroes; legendary blues artists including Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and John Mayall. At just 27 years of age it appears that there is no stopping this young and incredibly gifted musician. His latest recordings reinforce this and make it blatantly clear that Ben is destined for a great future on the European Blues/Rock scene.
Ben is now back with a brand new studio album, out in February 2016.
Stevie Nimmo
Stevie Nimmo. Singer-songwriter and Nimmo Brothers co-front man Stevie Nimmo with his brother Alan have for almost 20 years, been successfully touring all over the UK, Europe and America with five successful CDs to their name.
Born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland there was always music around as Stevie grew up. Stevie never had any guitar or singing lessons but throughout the family there were plenty of people who sang or played some kind of instrument to learn from.
After a diagnosis of cancer in 2009 and subsequent surgery resulting in the loss of his voice for over 2 months, Stevie, now living in France, was forced to ease back on his touring schedule with The Nimmo Brothers. He spent some months in recovery following this major operation. During this period, focusing on the style of music Stevie listens to 'off the park', he wrote the songs that now make up The Wynds of Life. For Stevie song writing isn't something that you plan, it's something that you need to do. As Stevie says; "When you have that something inside you, that feeling be it happy or sad, you just have to let it out. It's an extremely emotional process and my only way to do that is through song".
In January 2010 Stevie recorded his first solo album The Wynds of Life at The Zone recording Studios outside Austin, Texas with an A-list of Austin's finest musicians. Michael Ramos – Keys, George Reiff – Bass, Lloyd Maines – Steel Guitars, Pat Manske – Drums, and as a special guest guitarist David Lee Holt from Storyville. George, Lloyd and Pat are also featured on the current Courtyard Hounds release.
The Album was fleshed out with pedal steel, banjo, accordion, B3 and Wurlitzer, amongst other instruments. The Wynds of Life falls just as easily under the Americana banner with its roots, country and gospel influences as it does in Stevie's more familiar blues setting.

Smartwatch Casinos
Why Play on a Smartwatch?
First and foremost, absolute convenience. Your watch will always be on and available, just sitting on your wrist: no need to pull it from your pocket, or alert friends and colleagues to the fact you're now ignoring them to do something else!
It's also very subtle. With the music off, you can absently spin the reels now and then without anyone paying attention. Some players prefer to keep their gambling to themselves, and using your smartwatch is the perfect way to engage the hobby in public without coming under scrutiny.
On-the-go gameplay is even easier on a smartwatch than on mobile, since there's no risk of dropping it and only the key information stays on-screen: the reels, and your bet/win amounts.
Finally, let's not forget novelty. We are a generation of gadget fanatics, and playing online casino games on your wrist is the ultimate fusion of mobile slots and technology, and that's reason enough to want to try it out.
The smartwatch market is a tougher nut to crack than the smartphone one, since there are loads of rival designers all vying for the top spot on the market. Currently, Apple are leading the way with their iOS-powered devices, and so some iOS apps software developers are choosing to focus their efforts on Apple Watches.
Microgaming1 was quick off the mark and became the first casino software2 developer to fully adapt one of its games for a smartwatch. In 2015, they released one of their all-time most popular games (Thunderstruck) to be playable on your wrist.
The screen was adapted, with only the slot name, reels and balance information available at once – even that, to be critical, was a bit of a squeeze. Deposits, withdrawals and the serious money business are all completed on your smartphone, separately. Without a linked smartphone, you can't play for real money.
Similarly, Microgaming's The Dark Knight Rises has now been adapted for play on the Samsung Galaxy Gear 2.
Offers for iOS and Android
Research the offer of gambling apps adapted to iOS and android. Compare. Also discuss the available watches (Apple watch, are there any Android watches). The models, their selling points, which ones are the best, etc. …
How to Play
The thing is, other than the reduced size, the gameplay is exactly the same as on desktop or mobile. You're able to see your bet amount and balance, and can click on those amounts in order to change the number of paylines, coins or the coin value. You use gestures to spin the reels, and the paylines and bonuses are triggered randomly.
The only issue is that, realistically, the design detail which goes into the desktop versions will be essentially lost on such a tiny screen. The gameplay is the same, but it's not the same.
It seems likely that if smartwatches gaming continues to grow, it will become about convenience of play, while mobile and desktop play will remain just as popular for a more immersive experience. There are limited offers right now, but given a bit of time, we're optimistic that development will keep climbing and the industry will continue to grow.

Investigations into tracing missing persons are taking place constantly - at professional and amateur levels, within and outside the legal sphere. They are done for a number of reasons, but the methodology is principally the same.
This book is intended to aid those whose work, or interest, lies in finding people. It is a guide to the methods and the legalities surrounding what can be very interesting work, the resolution of a puzzle which is not overly affected in its solving by evidential restrictions. It is also intended to address investigations into those persons who are lost either through time, or through a decision to go missing as a result of excessive pressures, legal, sociological and psychological.
It is not intended to find kidnapped people, or genuine 'missing' persons who have gone missing as a result of mental illness.
In it's pages, investigators will be provided with advice on how to solve the riddle of a missing or wanted person enquiry: the definitions which apply, and which may direct their enquiries; the techniques of asking questions and developing information from documentary evidence; details of resources that they need to utilise in order to solve their riddles; and much more besides.
Such guidance is rare. The majority of books on this subject are published in the United States, with a bias towards their methods and availability of information - methods and information that simply aren't available to British investigators.
About the author
David Palmer is a practising criminal investigator, serving in the Police Force, and having at one time taken responsibility for the tracing of wanted persons in his area of operations. He achieved Fellowship of The Institute of Professional Investigators with his thesis on the process of a missing or wanted persons investigation.

Catching Up to Snow Leopard
Even part-time freeware developers look forward to new OSX releases, but our software doesn't always make the transition very smoothly. My screensaver "The Tube" is a bit of a CPU and RAM hog, so when OSX 10.6 broke it, I kind of bid it adieu and got on with other projects. After some prodding, though, I considered that faster CPUs and plentiful RAM nowadays mean this five-year-old resource hog might have new life yet.
But it wasn't as simple as just opening the old Xcode project and clicking "Build". This is probably because the old build designations "Development" and "Deployment" don't really have a place in Xcode these days. (Now it's simply "Debug" and "Release".) Curiosity led me to create a brand new project and then add the resources and classes from my old project, then simply click "Build". And it worked…sort of.
I also had to adapt the default class files (declaration and implementation) to match the old versions. It might have worked to add a modern build target to the old project, but in a way it was easier to do the rote work of going method by method pasting code into place. Once the resources were included, we were off to the races.
Now I'm reminded of the pleasantly hypnotic movement of the London Underground map and its gently flickering train. If you have OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you can check it out here.

Antidepressants are prescription drugs used to treat depression. Despite the drug name, antidepressants are also used to treat several other conditions. These conditions include anxiety disorders, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and chronic pain.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, are a common type of antidepressant. The first SSRI medication to be released in the U.S. market was Prozac in 1988. Antidepressants have gained massive popularity. As of 2005, antidepressants were the most-prescribed medications in the U.S. population. Today's market features more than a dozen SSRIs.
What Is an SSRI?
SSRIs work to increase the brain's levels of serotonin. Serotonin is naturally produced in the body. It is a neurotransmitter associated with regulating mood, learning, and sleep. SSRIs block, or inhibit, the brain from reabsorbing serotonin after it is produced. This increases serotonin levels to higher than normal.
The term "selective" in the name of this class of drugs refers to the fact that the primary neurotransmitter they affect is serotonin. SSRIs are considered to be third-generation antidepressants, as they are modified from the first antidepressants developed. These third-generation antidepressants tend to have fewer side effects compared to older ones.
Defective Antidepressants
While there are dozens of antidepressants available to Americans, there are a few brands that face social and legal controversy. Among these antidepressants are Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, and Effexor. Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil are the most commonly-prescribed SSRIs on the market today.
Antidepressant Side Effects
Side effects are extremely common in patients who take antidepressants. These side effects range from minor to severe and life-threatening. Different antidepressants have different chemical compositions. The varying chemical compositions react with each patient's overall health in unique ways and can appear unpredictable at times.
Side effects from antidepressants may include:
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Rash
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Irritability
- Dry mouth
- Increased sweating
- Drowsiness
- Insomnia
- Weight gain or loss
- Decreased sexual desire
- Sexual dysfunction
Severe Antidepressant Side Effects
While minor side effects can be common, there are a series of side effects that are rarer and potentially life-threatening. Among the two most dangerous side effects of antidepressants are birth defects, suicide and withdrawal. Unfortunately, since antidepressants are big business for manufacturers, the pharmaceutical industry can react slowly to research and adverse reports that indicate dangerous side effects.
Birth Defects
Pregnant women taking antidepressants—particularly SSRIs—can experience birth defects in their children. These birth defects can include defects in the heart, brain, and lungs. Deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate have also been noted.
The FDA uses pregnancy categories to warn doctors and patients of pregnancy risks while using specific antidepressants. Most SSRIs are classified as category C. This means that the category of drugs caused harm to laboratory animals after ingesting large amounts. Pregnancy category C drugs do not have significant evidence of harm to humans. For ethical purposes, testing cannot be conducted on humans.
Prozac is the only SSRI that has received FDA approval for use in children 8 and older. Studies and doctor reports show an alarming increase of suicide in children and young adults. Vulnerability is increased during the initial two months of antidepressant treatment. During this period, the patient's body is still adjusting to the drug. It is recommended that caregivers and parents closely monitor young adults during the initial treatment phase.
While SSRIs are not considered chemically addictive, many patients suffer withdrawal because they become dependent on them during treatment. During dependency, the patient comes to need the drug to maintain normal mental and physical functioning.
In some cases, patients can develop a condition referred to as SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome. It includes symptoms such as imbalance, flu-like symptoms, sleep and sensory disturbances, and gastrointestinal issues. Patients may also experience anxiety, irritability, and crying spells.
Antidepressant Lawsuits
It is believed that many antidepressant manufacturers have failed to warn the public of the full extent of antidepressant side effects. Furthermore, many believe that these companies should face legal repercussions for the harm caused to their consumers.
Many antidepressant users file lawsuits against drug manufacturers to gain compensation for this harm. Financial compensation can help cover medical bills and lost wages due to injury. Additionally, patients can receive compensation for the pain and suffering endured during the entire process. Users who wish to file a claim should meet with an experienced SSRI attorney to discuss their legal options. Call Seeger Weiss LLP today at 1-888-978-4827.

What makes Hong Kong stand out?
|"Everywhere I go, becomes a part of me somehow..." - 10.000 Buddha Monastery in Shatin
What makes Hong Kong stand out?
In the summer months, it's incredibly hot and humid. While I was exploring on the first few days I thought I was going to faint because it was that hot. Not kidding. I couldn't understand how people could just walk around in suits and have loose long hair. Finally I got a little bit used to it, but eventually I also got a mini fan (the portable one that you can bring around with you)...
There are so many people from different nationalities and the contrast is even bigger because you can tell when someone is Asian or Western. Especially on Hong Kong Island, there are many foreigners because of their work and the community. I experience most of the international people are like super open and friendly as they have a mindset of looking for friends and social activities too.
|My take on juxtaposition - somewhere in Kowloon
Old meets new
HK is often described as "old meets new" and I finally understood this when I lived there. There are so many old buildings and local neighbourhoods but if you go to the other side it's immediately very modern, urban and trendy. It's a mix of old and new and you can find it everywhere. Also on the road: you see old minibuses as well as the newer double decker busses.
What I also really like about this city is the versatility. Just within an hour you can find a hiking trail on the mountains and after all the effort you can rest and cool down at the beach. Getting hungry? Go back and within an hour you can go to the foodcourt in a shopping mall to get your lunch. While you are walking through the shopping mall you see new Nikes that you really want. Quickly go home, take a shower and change to get ready to meet your friends in Lan Kwai Fong (night life spot) for drinks. Did I make it clear that you will never get bored in this exciting city?!
|One of my very first hikes on Sharp Island - Sai Kung
If someone asks me 'what are you going to miss in Hong Kong?' I would say the convenience. I am not living in the centre, however it takes me only 20 min to go to Mong Kok or 30 min to Central. I lived above a shopping centre and MTR Station. Meaning, within 5 minutes I got into a train, within 5 minutes I got my dinner from Coral de Cafe and within 5 minutes I get to grab a coffee and shop around in the shopping mall. There are so many food options, so many stores and there is always a convenience store in your 360 sight.

The recent headlines in the local dailies has left me quite disturbed of the present government of Malaysia. The level of incompetency, ignorance, stupidity, and corruptness of several ministers in the government just left me speechless. I sense that the government of today is no longer serving the needs of the rakyat but more of their personal whims and fancy.
* Since it's the world cup fever season, I shall use some football analogy.
There's been many nice promises and targets set by the government in the 10th Malaysia Plan. However, I sense that it's just a very rough idea of what the government plans to do for the next 5 years. There's no concrete plans of the implementations and actions that will be taken to achieve the targets. It's like the M-team wants to win the world cup but there's no strategy going into the game, our coach just tells us to kick the ball into the net, but the opposition team (reality) is not going to make it as easy as it sounds.
Then we have our national budget deficit. I believe most Malaysians (myself included) do agree that the country's budget deficit issue needs to be addressed. On one hand, we have an ex-CEO with business acumen heading the government's transformation program team (Pemandu) telling us that the government's subsidies on essential food and petrol needs to be reduced/removed or the country may go bankrupt by 2019.
On another hand, we have the finance ministry and central bank saying the figures being exaggerated. So who's telling the truth? Well, it doesn't really matter because the government of the day is spending money like there's no tomorrow on projects which I doubt will bring any multiplier effects to the economy. So if the money saved from the reduced subsidies are going to be spend the way it is currently being spent. Then perhaps the subsidies should be kept as it is for the benefits of the poor rakyat.
Here's a list of some projects which I felt "Do we really need it?"
Do we really need a new RM800m parliament? Or even a renovation that would cost another RM150m which has just been recently refurbished just a few years back. I've not personally entered the parliament hall, but from the images of it on TV, the sittings do look very comfortable. Perhaps a little too comfortable to the extend that some MPs are falling asleep during debates.
New Palace
Do we really need another new RM800m palace? The current palace could still serve its purpose and the main palace building has been standing tall even before independence with some history within its walls. The money will be better spent on developing human capital to help bring the nation to a higher income nation. Anyway, it's been set in stone and construction has already begun.
Nuclear Power
Do we really need nuclear power plant? I do agree that we do need to source for an alternative energy and reduce our over dependency on coal and gas, but nuclear? Last I check, nuclear is not a renewable energy either, and neither do we have the uraniums to run the plant nor the technical expertise. Given our 'tidak apa' attitude, if applied to the operations and maintainence of the nuclear plant may just wipe out the whole South East Asia. I'm not looking down at fellow Malaysians to run a nuclear plant, but is this the best option? The risk and negative impact of nuclear waste is certainly not cheap. Wouldn't it be cheaper to go green? Perhaps solar power would be perfect given our country's climate. We now have a couple of solar panel manufacturers here in Malaysia, so why not get some used here instead of fully exporting it? It may be expensive for now, but given enough R&D and mass production, I bet it can only get cheaper.
Back to some football analogy… We're like a mediocre football club building a new and bigger stadium even without a huge fan-base to fill up the current stadium's capacity during football matches. Instead, the money will be better used to buy better players, or better coaches to enhance the player's training sessions to improve the teams's game in the football league.
There's just too many 'white elephants' infrastructure development in this country. Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not against infrastructure development. I do agree that some infrastructure developments such as the public transportation (such as LRT or MRT), a bigger LCCT, and high speed broadband are necessary to keep Malaysia competitive. There's just countless hours wasted in traffic jams and our broadband speed is very much like narrow-band in more developed nations like Korea.
So… do we really need it?

In writing my recent book, Mirror Of My Soul, Sanctum Of My Heart (kindle) or Mirror Of My Soul, Sanctum Of My Heart (Paperback), I discuss many topics including spiritual growth, traumatic brain injury, and healing.
Here's an excerpt:
By now, I felt the full force of the negative thought form. It unhinged me. I broke down. Then I relived the memory. I was in the body of an early American settler—a young woman in simple pioneer dress. I perched on a high bluff—and jumped backwards over the cliff—my arms outstretched like wings—my long, light brown hair flying out around me. Upon impact on the rocky ground, my spirit left my body and I went up into the sky! I later researched the suicide phenomenon of early American women settlers. The numbers are approximately three thousand women took their lives, jumping down wells and over cliffs. Life was that harsh. Sometimes, we have no choice. Although in future life, we have to deal with the repercussions of the thought form tendency.

Functional capacity and rhythm changes after atrial correction of transposition of great arteries
Peteiro J., Aparici M., Fernández Almeida A., Hidalgo R., Debén M., Alzamora P., Ancín R., Barba J., Martínez-Caro D.
Departamento de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona.
Magazine: Revista Española de Cardiología
Date: Sep 30, 1990Cardiology
A group of 12 patients, previously submitted to atrial correction of the transposition of the great vessels, were studied through stress test with direct metabolimetry and Holter to assess aerobic functional capacity and its relationship with conduction disturbances.
The results were compared with those obtained with a control group of 23 non athletic healthy children. All the patients showed amputation of their heart rates on effort, though this parameter and the oxygen consumption were normal at low work load levels. The VO2 at anaerobic threshold, the maximum VO2, and the maximum work load were also decreased in most of the patients. Holter studies demonstrated sick sinus syndrome in nine of them. Aerobic functional capacity was reduced in most of the patients with atrial correction of the transposition of the great vessels. The amputation of the heart rate on effort is a common finding though its relationship with the decrease of the aerobic functional capacity in these patients is limited.
Finally, the stress test is probably more sensible than Holter for the detection of slight degrees of sinus disfunction.

At Cisco Live Berlin, All Eyes Will Be on SSLi
Cisco Live Berlin is less than a month away. Boasting more than 600 sessions, the event will take over Messe Berlin from February 20 to February 24.
With informative conference tracks, education opportunities and hands-on workshops touching on everything from cloud and collaboration to IPv6 and mobility, Cisco Live Berlin is full of important information for tech innovators and enterprise IT pros.
One track that will garner a lot of attention is the security track, which will examine not only today's evolving threat landscape, but also focus heavily on how to protect your organization before, during and after an attack.
That's where A10 Networks comes into play. And you can find us at Cisco Live Berlin at booths 79 and 80 in the World of Solutions (we'll be there from February 21 through February 23).
A Security-Focused Partnership
At Cisco Live Berlin, A10 Networks will showcase how it partners with Cisco to defend against security threats concealed in encrypted traffic. And with 67 percent of all traffic now encrypted, that gives threat actors a massive opportunity.
Organizations need a way to see what's being obfuscated via encryption. They require insight into SSL traffic so they can see what's happening on their networks and identify any threats that may be cloaked behind encryption. Organizations can no longer think that because traffic is encrypted everything is safe.
A10 and Cisco work together in the fight against encrypted threats. A10 is a Solution Provider member of the Cisco Solution Partner Program and with the A10 Networks Thunder SSL Insight (SSLi) and Cisco's FirePOWER and ASA Platforms we deliver solutions that detect and stop malicious attacks hidden in encrypted traffic.
Uncovering Hidden Threats
Here's how it works: the A10 Thunder SSLi decrypts the traffic and passes it to the Cisco FirePOWER firewall for inspection. From there, the traffic is re-encrypted and continues to its destination. This exposes any malicious threats that may be secreted by encryption.
According to a Ponemon Institute study commissioned by A10 Networks, "Hidden Threats in Encrypted Traffic: A Study of North America & EMEA," more than 60 percent of organizations have not implemented proper SSL decryption due to concerns over performance. Typically, SSL decryption and inspection is processor-intensive and results in performance degradation. Off-loading the decryption of SSL traffic to a Thunder SSLi appliance allows a device like the Cisco FirePOWER next-generation firewall to focus on inspection, detection and response without the performance impact typically associated with SSL.
You can learn more about how A10 and Cisco work together to root out and abolish encrypted threats at Cisco Live Berlin. We'll see you there!

21 July 2015
The following summary of the paper's suggested strategic directions outline how economic development and job creation in the international education sector could be optimised by supporting the sector to increase its competitiveness.
Strategic Direction One: A long-term approach to market-development
Victoria's two biggest markets are China and India, from which almost 50 per cent of onshore international students are drawn. Significant numbers of students are also attracted from South East Asian countries, in particular, Malaysia and Vietnam. This provides a strong base to consolidate Victoria's standing in the region, while expanding onshore enrolments and offshore education services throughout Asia and beyond.
Reliance on a few markets can however pose risks to the sustainable growth of Victorian international education, making the state vulnerable to 'shocks' or downturns that may occur within markets. It is therefore important to encourage diversity in the sector, across student population, courses and providers. This helps to build the resilience of the sector and also facilitates a positive student education experience.
Strategic Direction Two: Supporting the higher education sector
Victoria's universities and non-university higher education providers have been very effective at developing international student markets. Higher education accounts for about 45 per cent of Victoria's onshore international student enrolments meaning that the presence of international students is felt across almost all university campuses.
Onshore higher education students come to Victoria to study a diverse range of programs. These include undergraduate courses and postgraduate coursework and research programs that result in the awarding of an Australian qualification. A significant number also come as a part of shorter study abroad and exchange programs, usually credited towards a qualification awarded in their home country.
Currently, international enrolments account for about a third of the total student body across all universities. In recent years there has been growth in the number of postgraduate enrolments in Victoria. This, combined with limited growth in undergraduate enrolments over recent years, means that postgraduate students now account for almost half of international higher education students in Victoria.
Strategic Direction Three: Leading in quality teaching and learning approaches
In the next decade, models of education delivery, teaching and learning will continue to be transformed. This is driven by the need to meet student demands and to continue to create viable delivery models to service a global market. How well Victorian institutions fully embrace and embed offshore and online delivery will be key success factors for the sustainability of the sector. Many Victorian institutions are now thinking more holistically about the integration of onshore, offshore and online teaching and learning approaches to meet student's needs. There are opportunities and challenges for all sectors.
Strategic Direction Four: Supporting a high-quality and globally oriented VET sector
Vocational education and training in Victoria is provided through technical and further education (TAFE) institutes, adult and community education providers and private providers, as well as some universities. Following changes to Australia's migration settings in 2010, onshore VET sector exports in Victoria underwent a necessary correction, finally returning to growth in 2013-14, experiencing increases of 8.2 per cent in enrolments and 17.7 per cent in commencements. Overall, the VET sector accounts for 25 per cent of international students in Victoria, with major markets being India and China.
Victoria is the national leader in delivering offshore Australian training qualifications. There are significant opportunities over the coming decade for TAFEs and high-quality private VET providers to increase provision of offshore training. In Asia alone, the key markets are estimated to be worth billions of dollars as countries realise the value of a skilled workforce to their economies and seek large-scale reform and investment in VET.
These offshore opportunities are numerous. They can range from providing advice to foreign governments about how to replicate our industry-led vocational training approach through to partnering with industry, other education institutions and governments to deliver customised training.
Strategic Direction Five: Growing international engagement in the schools sector
The commitment to make Victoria the Education State recognises the integral role of international education as an export for both schools and higher education, as well as the value of internationalising education in our schools.
This strategic direction considers the opportunity to grow international education in the schools sector, recognising the operating environments of both government and non-government schools. In addition to the economic benefit of international students, underlying this discussion is the tenet that internationalising schools will prepare our young people for life and work in an increasingly globalised world, contribute significantly to our economy, and help Victorian business access a workforce they need to compete globally.
Strategic Direction Six: Growing international education in the regions
The Victorian Government is committed to bringing jobs, growth and investment to the regions. A key consideration for the development of a new International Education Action Plan will be the identification of specific measures that promote opportunities for international students to choose to live and study in regional Victoria.
While a large proportion of onshore international students have a preference to study in metropolitan centres, regional providers can offer niche expertise and significant industry expertise in fields of global significance such as food and agriculture, soil and water, energy and resources, and environment. While a focus on these capabilities may support growth in onshore education, it is offshore opportunities that may deliver the biggest opportunities for regional education providers.
Furthermore, many regional centres offer distinctive, community-focussed lifestyle opportunities that may be attractive to particular segments of the schools and tertiary student market. Attracting these types of students, and potentially retaining them to undertake multiple courses of study, may also bolster regional Victoria's standing as an education exporter. For example, regional senior secondary schools often have strong links with their local university campuses and TAFE institutes. Dedicated pathway programs and transition supports that meet the specific needs of international students could increasingly be a product of these linkages.
Strategic Direction Seven: Enhancing the experience for international students
The experience that international students have of living in a particular location influences that place's attractiveness as an education destination. 'Word of mouth' is an important source of information in the decision making process of potential international students. Sustained focus on experience is therefore crucial to the ongoing strength of Victoria as an education destination.
Activity to improve international students' experience beyond the classroom can be categorised as either:
- addressing issues a student may face during their time in Victoria, particularly relating to a broad range of welfare matters such as accommodation, employment, health services or where students are victims of crime
- enhancing what is on offer to students during their stay, including providing a premium-value experience, particularly in relation to career readiness, and improving social connectedness to each other and the local community.
In the Australian context, Victoria is highly regarded for its focus on enhancing student experience. Through collaboration, local, state and federal governments and education institutions have led the way in driving an integrated approach towards maximising the chance that students have a positive time while studying here.
The government's key contribution is the Study Melbourne Student Centre, a physical access point for all its student-facing initiatives and the location of a team of staff providing information and welfare support to students. It is the only centre of its kind in Australia, and quite likely the world. These types of actions have contributed to Melbourne being assessed by QS Rankings as among the best student cities in the world, second only to Paris.
Strategic Direction Eight: Maximising the secondary benefits of international education
In addition to the direct economic benefits provided by international education, there are a number of important indirect benefits that accrue to Victoria from a thriving international education sector.
There are flow-on benefits to and from the tourism industry through non-leisure visits by students' friends and family. Graduation ceremonies for example are significant events attracting large numbers of visiting friends and relatives as tourists to the state.
Further, the increasing propensity for individuals to visit Victoria both as a tourist and student means benefits can be derived from positioning Melbourne, Victoria, as an attractive global destination. Many short course English language students enter Australia on tourist visas and later complete higher qualifications under a student visa, extending their stay in Victoria. Currently, around 26 per cent of English language students in Victoria are non-student visa holders, with Japan and Korea accounting for almost two thirds (58 per cent) of this group.
Strategic Direction Nine: Driving a collaborative approach to supporting international education
The government recognises that it must work collaboratively in order to support the future success of Victoria's international education sector. It is clear that a partnership approach with education providers must be the foundation of such an approach. There is an opportunity to build on the existing collaborative efforts that Victorian providers have become well-regarded for in the sector. Equally, ensuring that the student voice is heard and that students are an active participant in cooperative efforts to grow and support the sector, is also fundamental. However, to succeed in the development of international education as a long term future sector for the state, cooperation with other levels of government is paramount. The business community, both locally and internationally, are also important partners in the international education sector.

They only have one DS right now so folks like me that have requested home delivery will be delayed probably 1-2 weeks. They have 14 beautiful MS's sitting there waiting for delivery. Sorry I didn't get VIN#'s, I figured the owners of those cars probably know they are sitting there.

October 2016 Monthly Energy Update
Suzy and Meredith clearly intend for this information to offer you a much broader perspective of Who You Are based on the current energetic patterns and the means to coherently integrate that awareness into your human experience – right here, right now!
Suzy's skill set allows her to clearly experience the multi-dimensional mastery of any collective group so that that mastery can be consciously experienced and expressed by each participating individual. She does this by weaving together the best elements of each individual's energy pattern into a collective tapestry or template that can be offered back to the whole group as information, guided meditation and vibrational experiences.
We hope you find this information helpful in uncovering both your mastery and your vulnerabilities. From this perspective, we need both in order to step into the new human template!
At the core of our being we are love. Our innate program – that consistent blueprint that propels us through lifetimes and realities – is love.
However, beginning in utero and continuing throughout our early childhood, experiences imprint us with layers of fear-based programming that separate us from the love that we are.
Programming – which is anything that prevents us from either loving or being loved – gets layered over who we really are.
This programming leaks out into our behaviors and into our consciousness. Because much of this information was received when we were pre-verbal it arises as a feeling state. It is information we couldn't articulate even if we became conscious of it. It's feelings, vibrations and movements of energy.
Thankfully we live on planet earth – the love planet – that supports us in remembering who we are at our core.
Moment by moment we are invited to love beyond what we have been able to love before.
Every mentally, emotionally or physically challenging experience is an invitation to love more completely from the embedded program of who we truly are. We are encouraged to shed our programming and claim ourselves as love. This is the dynamic playing out within human reality all of the time.
This means deciding whether to embrace or to disown a child who adopts a lifestyle against your values. It is choosing to respectfully listen to or to condemn the beliefs of someone else's religion. It is responding to yourself with loving compassion rather than harsh criticism when you've fallen short of a personal goal. It is remaining in openhearted acceptance of or in fearful resistance to a serious medical condition. It is allowing yourself to have what your heart really desires versus limiting what is possible based on the programmed mind.
We have an underlying core program that says 'we are love' and then we've got the programming that says 'here's our opportunity to remind yourselves of that' by bridging those places that have created a separation. When we operate from the program of love we bridge the gap between perceived separation and the truth of unification.
Love is the act of bridging.
In what ways can we create a bridge within ourselves, with someone else, or with a situation to foster unification rather than separation? Much like Gaia supports our return to love so too are we supported by recent significant energetic shifts.
In the last three months there's been a closing of the underworld. This means that our unconscious patterns – that programming that separates us from being, receiving and giving love fully – are no longer able to retreat back into the underworld or our subconscious.
All of that information has surfaced and will remain on the surface now that there's nowhere else for it to go. That which has been unconscious is undeniably playing out in the world for all to see.
We can no longer hide from ourselves or anybody else the programming that causes separation. That which separates us through fear or hate from aspects of ourselves, other races, religions or different lifestyle preferences of any kind, is right on the surface to be seen, acknowledged and hopefully loved.
With the underworld shut down we get many opportunities to clearly see what can reintegrate into the unified field of love. There is no other way we can do this now except consciously. Continually ask, 'How can I bridge that separation?' When the energy of separation arises resist placing blame, abdicating power or justifying your judgment of it.
Ask to see that belief, person, thought or situation as Love sees it.
Be as gentle with yourself as possible as you stretch beyond where you have loved before. It can feel frightening, disorienting and challenging to let go of our patterns and limitations. Support your internal sense of safety in these times.
Remind yourself that you are safe in this moment. Invite the divine feminine to nurture you and the divine masculine to protect you. Actively create a space of safety for yourself.
We all hold the programming of separation and tend to make ourselves wrong or bad when it surfaces. We tell ourselves we're not supposed to feel that way because we have been programmed to accept certain emotions and to separate from others. The negative feelings that we have been programmed to separate from actually offer us the greatest opportunities to bridge a gap back to love, provided we are willing to be with them.
Our unconscious patterns are surfacing because the underworld is closed and it is time to consciously live as the love that we are. Everything that arises in us right now – every nasty thought, every fearful condemnation, every possible way we don't love others and ourselves – is calling for love.
In loving these aspects of separation we are neutralizing and nullifying our programming and returning to our innate program of love.
Every time we bridge that gap between separation and unification through love, we activate the love program for the collective human consciousness. We unify and amplify that field of consciousness that ripples out into this reality as higher vibrational potentials and possibilities for all.
When something like shame, guilt or anger arises within you, meet the feelings in a new way. Specifically, we can deal with that energy without making it a cognitive process by tracking, weaving, rooting or expanding.
Any one of these four pathways may dismantle energy, give you information you need, or simply return you to the program of love. All of them give the mind something to do other than mentally analyzing challenging energies.
Return to the program of love rather than correct the programming.
We do this simply by asking, 'Will tracking, weaving, rooting or expanding this energy return me to the program of love?'
Then notice what happens.
Tracking may feel like following a thread of seemingly disconnected pieces of information to arrive at the energy's origin.
Weaving touches on multiple energetic points to draw them together into a more coherent whole.
Rooting is becoming grounded but perhaps in a reference point other than mother earth. Stay open to where you may feel yourself connect deeply.
Expanding stretches consciousness into those times, spaces and dimensions that align the triggering event with the vibration of love. It also includes the phase of integration of those new frequencies into your neurology, psychology and biology.
With the underworld closed, our unconscious patterns are staying on the surface.
Therefore, we have an opportunity like never before to return to the program of love.
Whether you track, weave, root or expand in the face of separation, stay consciously engaged in the process of unification. The more we love beyond what we've been able to love before, the easier it is for others to do the same.

The challenge of the online trade
The bricks-and-mortar trade will continue to succeed if it re-invents itself over and over again and combines the convenience of the online trade with the benefits of a shop such as ambiance, advice, dressing rooms, and the immediate availability of the products. Despite the online boom, our centers have stable footfall figures and turnovers. In some sectors, however, the demand for areas has decreased and certain products are almost exclusively bought online. But even online traders have acknowledged that brands are established mainly offline and that a direct contact to the consumer is mostly a precondition for a subsequent online purchase.
ECE responded to the challenges of the online trade by integrating many digital services in their centers. Whether it is the linking with social media, 3D guiding systems, or our "Love-to-Shop" app, there is always something new happening at ECE centers. Current examples of new services in shopping centers can be found here:

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma symptoms
1-minute read
The most common symptom of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a painless swelling in a lymph node, usually in the neck, armpit or groin.
The swelling is caused by an excess of affected lymphocytes collecting in your lymph node.
Swollen nodes or glands are a common response to infection, so if you have swollen nodes do not panic; it is highly unlikely they are the result of lymphoma.
Symptoms of advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Other symptoms will usually only begin once the cancer has spread through most or all of your lymphatic system.
This causes the lymphatic system to stop working properly, which weakens your immune response.
Symptoms of advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma include:
- unexplained tiredness or fatigue
- night sweats or fever
- unexplained poor appetite and/or weight loss
- trouble getting over infections
- pain in the chest or abdomen (which may be caused by an enlarged spleen)
- unexplained, persistent cough
- itchy skin all over the body
Other symptoms will depend on where in the body the enlarged lymph glands are.

Toronto International Film Festival is set to sign a historic charter which aims for gender parity and inclusion by 2020.
The pledge was first signed by Cannes Film Festival's director, Thierry Frémaux, back in May before fellow festivals in Locarno, Sarajevo and Venice joined in on the push for diversity.
The decision came after this year's star-studded event in Cannes drew criticism with only three of the 21 films in the running for the 2018 Palme d'Or directed by women.
In its 71-year history, only 82 female directors have showcased their work while 1,645 male directors have been in the running for the famous accolade.
Venice Film Festival also sparked controversy this year, with just one out of the 21 films showcased with a female director at the helm.
Under the new charter, the film festivals will be required to record the gender of the cast and crew of all films submitted and must make the names of selection committee members public.
The star-studded ceremonies are also required to work harder to achieve gender parity across the executive board.
Toronto Film Festival's artistic director Cameron Bailey will put his signature against the commitment at a signing ceremony on 8 September ahead of a Time's Up rally.
The event will run from 7 September until 17 September.

Non-confidential facts and advice to the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DMPC)
1. Introduction and background
1.1. The current hardware of the ICCS/CCTV system has been in operation since 2006. This creates a serious risk of operational failure due to the ageing hardware. The MPS has recently experienced two power failures. There is also the added issue that the hardware does not support future upgrades due to its obsolesce.
1.2. Frequentis, the ICCS supplier will be carrying out a technology refresh of all sites that are central to the ICCS and where any failure to the system could be critical.
2. Issues for consideration
2.1. There is a Home Office (HO) requirement for the MPS to integrate the ICCS to the new Emergency Services Network (ESN) (the HO replacement for the current Airwave). The ESN is dependent upon this ICCS upgrade. The server upgrade is also a pre-requisite of the future upgrade work necessary to allow the MPS to achieve Code of Connection (CoCo) to the Direct Network Service Provider which allows the ICCS connectivity with the ESN. Without CoCo accreditation the MPS will not be able to migrate to the ESN, once the HO terminates Airwave.
2.2. These are discussed in the Part 2.
3. Financial Comments
3.1 The requested spend of £1.47m is not in the approved Capital Plan. The cost of £470k in 2016/17 will be met from underspends in the Information Management budget. For 2017/18 the cost of £1m can be met from the forecast underspend of £16m within Management Information.
3.2 The MPS will be revising the Capital Plan to reflect the above spend and will submit this early in 2017. This will allow for this increase spend while staying within the originally agreed limits for the Capital Plan.
3.3 There are no revenue implications associated with this proposal. The replacement server hardware will continue to be supported through the existing support contract.
4. Legal Comments
4.1. The route to market for this proposal will be via a change request through the existing BAU support contracts for the ICCS.
5. Equality Comments
5.1. There are no direct equality or diversity implications arising from this report
6. Background/supporting papers
6.1. None.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) requested for an amateur radio emergency communications exercise to be held on October 1, 2016 centred on Sibu, Sarawak in East Malaysia.
IARU member society, Malaysian Amateur Radio Transmitters' Society (MARTS) and the Amateur Radio Club Sarawak (ARCS), will jointly run the exercise with participation from Telecommunication companies and the Malaysian Civil Defense.
Since the Indonesian Amateur Radio Society is using the COA frequency of 7.110 Mhz for their current emergency communications. Subject to no QRM being caused, the exercise will use 7.125 MHz (All Modes ± 5 KHz) , using near vertical incidence skywave propagation and with emphasis on the PSK31 digital mode.
The exercise is to test the effectiveness of MARTS and ARCS in setting up both local and East to West Malaysia communications to give the authorities a better understanding of our amateur radio message handling capabilities with accuracy and speed, the IARU message format will be used, as it would in a real life event.
The MCMC Chairman from Kuala Lumpur will witness and take part in this exercise. MARTS requests that the frequency of 7.125 MHz be kept clear for the exercise on Saturday, October 1, 2016.
CoA frequencies are as below :
Emergency CoA frequency 3.600 MHz ( All Modes ± 5 KHz )
Emergency frequency 7.125 MHz ( All Modes ± 5 KHz )
Emergency CoA frequency 14.300 MHz ( All Modes ± 5 KHz )
Emergency CoA frequency 18.160 MHz ( All Modes ± 5 KHz )
Emergency CoA frequency 21.360 MHz ( All Modes ± 5 KHz )"

The flooding in West Java that caused landslides and killed at least 30 people remains a disaster scene with recovery work continuing. Chief of Organisation & International Affairs of ORARI, Gjellani J. Sutama YB1GJS said that early on September 21 after heavy rain fell and the Cimanuk River burst its banks, and soon after emergency communications began.
ORARI (Organisasi Amatir Radio Indonesia) is the IARU member society, and its Garut District set up the emergency station at a base camp for the worst hit area. Gjellani YB1GJS reports that it had an HF net on 7.110 MHz, with a VHF repeater for Operation and Coordination to support the government and search and rescue team.
The height of the drama included a report that two houses were buried by landslides, a mosque was destroyed, affecting thousands of homes with many of under water. About three dozen were injured and villages in the path of floodwaters were evacuated.
Among the work is looking for the 22 people who are still missing in the disaster area. The ORARI Garut District is waiting for further advice from the government but hopes the recovery phase will soon wind down as the flooding eases.

Hurricane Matthew is currently crossing the Caribbean heading towards Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba. http://www.hwn.org/data/nhcat4.html shows the storms predicted path.
The American Hurricane Watch Net is operating 14.325 MHz by day and 7.268 MHz as the storm passes through their area of interest.
Arnie Coro CO2KK reports that Cuba's National Emergency Net will operate on the following frequencies;
daytime primary 7110, secondary 7120, also on lower frequencies we will have provincial nets on 7045, 7080 and possibly other frequencies.
Night time primary 3740 , secondary 3720
Their main emergency station is CO9DCN at the Cuban National Civil Defense Headquarters in Havana, under the supervision of CO2JC Doctor Carlos Alberto SantaMaria, and will be operational all along the event and the expected recovery phase.
Volunteer operators are moving to specific locations in Cuba that are known from past storms to become isolated due to rivers overflowing , roads blocked etc.
The Dominican Republic advise that they are using 7065kHz LSB for their response to this storm.
As always, amateurs are requested to listen carefully before operating on frequencies which may be in use for emergency communications and avoid interference.
