NSF International Certifies Premium Bottled Water Brand in India
Himalayan natural mineral water, a TATA product made by Mount Everest Mineral Water Limited, earns NSF certification
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Global public health organization NSF International has certified Himalayan brand natural mineral water to its Beverage Quality Certification Program, which tests and certifies beverages, bottled water and packaged ice to verify compliance with national and global standards (e.g. U.S. FDA, EU, WHO, etc.). Himalayan is Mount Everest Mineral Water Limited's leading brand of natural mineral water. NSF International certification provides regulators and consumers reassurance that NSF certified water has passed testing and plant inspections as well as rigorous safety and quality requirements.
To achieve NSF certification for Himalayan, Mount Everest Mineral Water's facility in Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh, India underwent a rigorous audit to verify that the bottling facility met all certification requirements. This included meeting Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), which are internationally recognized standards for food safety. NSF International also tested samples of Himalayan mineral water to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Code of Federal Regulations for Bottled Water for more than 160 impurities including chemicals and inorganic, radiological and microbiological contaminants.
Himalayan mineral water is now certified and authorized to bear the NSF certification mark, and it is included in NSF's online listings. To maintain NSF certification, Himalayan mineral water must undergo annual product testing and unannounced bottling facility audits that cover every aspect of a bottler's operation, from the source of the water through the disinfection and treatment process, including the container closure process. NSF is accredited by the American National Standards Institute and others to provide certification for bottled water, natural mineral water, beverages, packaged ice and caps and containers.
"NSF certification is a major milestone in our journey to making Himalayan natural mineral water a global reality," said Mr. Pradeep Poddar, Managing Director and CEO of Mount Everest Mineral Water Limited.
"By earning certification from NSF International for its Himalayan mineral water, Mount Everest Mineral Water demonstrates its commitment to product safety and quality to customers and retailers in India and worldwide," said Jyoti Bhasin, Regional Director of Food Safety and Health Sciences, India and Middle East, NSF International.
In addition to providing product certification and recognition, NSF International provides auditing, label verification, ingredient registration, and testing to verify products meet all regulations and best practices. Other services include certification to Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked standards and compliance with the FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements and HACCP. For more information about NSF International's Beverage Quality Certification Program, visit NSF's website, email email@example.com or call +91 965 003 4551.

These basic wall cabinets have a very clean, contemporary look but frameless cabinets are versatile. By using nicer doors, adding some crown molding and light rail trim you can achieve a more traditional look.
You can save a lot of money if you build your own frameless cabinets. While building frameless cabinets isn't very difficult it is important that the cuts are accurate and the pieces as well as the assembly is square. Before you go crazy in your kitchen with a sledgehammer and order a large pile of plywood Try to build one small cabinet to make sure you're happy with your results.
What You'll Need
- Table saw or circular saw and guide for making accurate and square cuts in plywood.
- Combination square
- Kreg Pocket Hole Jig
- Kreg Shelf Pin Drilling Jig
- Rockler Concealed Hinge JIG IT System
- Power drill and 35mm Forstner Bit
Material for Cabinet Carcasses
Material for Cabinet Doors
Step 1: Calculate Cabinet Component Dimensions
(For consistency the "height" is also the direction of the grain.)
Cabinet Side Dimensions
Cabinet Top/Bottom Dimensions
Cabinet Back Dimensions
Adjustable Shelves Dimensions
Cabinet Door Dimensions
Step 2: Assemble Sides, Top and Bottom
Step 3: Cabinet Back
Step 4: Drill Shelf Pin Holes
Step 5: Mark Hinge Bore Locations
Finally attach and adjust your hinges so the door has an even overlay all the way around the cabinet.

This marks my second indulgent week of deliciously sinful carbs. I enjoy bread baking, especially the lengthy proofing process, and find it therapeutic. However, the amount of bread I'm turning out (and consuming) is the downside to my so-called therapy. There's only so much almond filled brioche a person should eat in one sitting.
I can feel the extra calories bunching up in my body, accelerating the growth of my love handles.
I'm enjoying The Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge and can only participate for another week or two. Why? Well, in July we will be heading out for a much needed vacation. We've booked a cruise through the Scandinavian/Baltic region followed by a few days catching up with friends in London. We will be gone for three weeks and I anticipate limited internet access during our travels. I'm planning to schedule a few posts to publish during my absence, so you shouldn't even notice that I'm away.
In the meantime, I'm continuing to bake bread until we leave … or until my jeans become too tight, whichever comes first.
This week's bread is the Casatiello (recipe from The Bread Baker's Apprentice), a rich and savory bread typically filled with salami and cheese. Since the recipe makes two loaves, I opted to make two flavors. For one, I used a Hungarian salami and provolone cheese, for the other I used a mix of chopped olives and provolone.
The bread contains 6 ounces butter and two eggs, with both provide a delicious richness to the bread. The addition of meat, cheese and olives builds upon the richness by bringing a mix of savory flavors.
After mixing the dough, I divided into two equal portions. I kneaded 2 ounces of sauteed salami and 3 ounces grated provolone into the dough. To the second loaf, I kneaded 2 ounces chopped olives (which I had patted dry) along with 3 ounces grated provolone. I placed each one in separate oiled bowls to proof. The proofing only took 60 minutes (instead of 90 minutes).
I formed each loaf into a round ball and placed inside of the 6″ paper panettone pans. The second proofing also moved along faster than anticipated, another 60 minutes. I baked at 350F (170C) for nearly 45 minutes, until the internal temperature of the bread reached 195F.
The bread didn't get as dark as I thought it might and I feared I had taken it out of the oven too soon. But, after allowing it to cool, I sliced into it and was amazed at the tender texture. The crumb is light and soft, yet still slightly chewy. Craters of melted provolone and flecks of meat or olives stud the bread. Every bite contains a savory bit or two.
We started snacking on it immediately and had a hard time stopping. It's that good. I think that I enjoyed it more than the brioche from last week.
The bread can be used for sandwiches or making savory french toast (yes, this appeals to me), but I've found that it's best on its own. It also makes for excellent toast, with just a little butter.
Sadly, the olive loaf disappeared last night and the salami loaf is nearing its end. I don't know if it will make it through the night.
As for my jeans? Well, we won't talk about how snug they are becoming.

McNatt joined the company in 1996 as vice president/planning and development for Kapalua Land Co. Ltd. This is his fourth promotion since joining.
Helio Inc. is a joint venture of Internet service provider EarthLink Inc. and Korea's SK Telecom. It will start selling two phones today that it's positioning primarily as blogging tools for a mobile generation and only secondarily as phones.
"We start out with data, and voice is just another application," said Sky Dayton, founder of EarthLink and chief executive of Helio.
The Helio phone will be tightly connected to MySpace, the social networking site that has become hugely popular among teenagers and twenty-somethings.
Web and news-related queries made from A9.com, Alexa and a search box on the Amazon.com home page now bring back results "powered by Windows Live Search," the new name for Microsoft's MSN Search service. Windows Live Search also is selected by default on A9.com, a site that lets users query multiple search services.
A9.com Chief Executive David Tennenhouse said the Amazon subsidiary's contract with Google has expired, but he said the decision to add Windows Live Search to its offerings was separate from that development.
Prius sales fell again in April, after a 3.3 percent first- quarter decline, Jim Lentz, a group vice president and Toyota brand manager, said in an interview last week from the company's Torrance, Calif., U.S. headquarters. He said the car's sales dropped to about 7,500 last month, from 11,345 in April 2005.
U.S. sales of fuel-efficient hybrid cars and light trucks rose 37 percent to 48,685 last quarter, after more than doubling in the same period of 2005.
Toyota now makes all its hybrids in Japan, and Prius production has slowed as the company builds up inventory of the gasoline-electric version of the Camry sedan, which began arriving at U.S. dealerships last week, Lentz said.

The Asian economy will be boosted by the continuing recovery in Japan, where domestic demand is strengthening, corporate investment remains robust and the labor market is still firm, the IMF said in its 84-page report.
Economies are benefiting from surging demand for the region's products, especially electronics, and this should continue, the IMF said. "While domestic demand had long been tepid -- China and India excepted -- it has been gaining traction since early 2005," the forecast said.

Talking to reporters in Doon, Negi said, "The matter was raised by the central government last year, and not by us. They had sought a report from us on the controversial issue. We have submitted the report which is not in favour of Patanjali. Now, the Centre needs to take a call on the matter. The ball is in their court and if at all, they fail in taking action then the state government will certainly do the needful as per the law."
Rajya Sabha MPs led by JD(U)'s KC Tyagi had earlier demanded a ban on the drug and sought stringent action against its manufacturer in May 2015. Following the row, the Centre had directed the state government to launch an inquiry into the matter.

Enterprises strive to reduce computing costs. Many start by consolidating their IT operations and later introducing virtualization technologies. Cloud computing takes these steps to a new level and allows an organization to further reduce costs through improved utilization, reduced administration and infrastructure costs, and faster deployment cycles. The cloud is a next generation platform that provides dynamic resource pools, virtualization, and high availability.
Cloud computing describes both a platform and a type of application. A cloud computing platform dynamically provisions, configures, reconfigures, and deprovisions servers as needed. Cloud applications are applications that are extended to be accessible through the Internet. These cloud applications use large data centers and powerful servers that host Web applications and Web services.
Benefits for cloud computing :
Allow enterprises to achieve more efficient use of their IT hardware and software investments.
Cost efficient model for delivering information services, reducing IT management complexity, promoting innovation, and increasing responsiveness through real-time workload balancing.
Anatomy of a cloud :
Application Services : The application services layer hosts applications that fit the SaaS model. These are applications that run in a cloud and are provided on demand as services to users.
Platform Services :This is the layer in which we see application infrastructure emerge as a set of services. This includes but is not limited to middleware as a service, messaging as a service, integration as a service, information as a service, connectivity as a service, and so on.
Infrastructure Services : Here, we see a set of physical assets such as servers, network devices, and storage disks offered as provisioned services to consumers
Type of Clouds :
Public Clouds: These are cloud services provided by a third party (vendor). They exist beyond the company firewall, and they are fully hosted and managed by the cloud provider.
Private Clouds: These are cloud services provided within the enterprise. These clouds exist within the company firewall and they are managed by the enterprise.
Hybrid Clouds: These are a combination of public and private clouds. These clouds would typically be created by the enterprise, and management responsibilities would be split between the enterprise and public cloud provider. The hybrid cloud leverages services that are in both the public and private space.
Some of the IT roles :
System Administrator
Computer Operator
Network Administrator
Storage Administrator
Database Administrator
End User
Code Developer
Cloud Architect
Cloud Administrator
Cloud Service Manager
Cloud Data Architect
Cloud Application Architect
Cloud Operator
Cloud User
Cloud Developer
Cloud Integration:
Cloud infrastructure is not very useful without software applications that run on top of them, and cloud applications are not very valuable without access to the critical corporate data that is typically locked away in various on premise systems.
For cloud applications to offer maximum value to their users, they need to provide a simple mechanism to import or load external data, export or replicate their data for reporting or analysis purposes, and to keep their data synchronized with on premise applications.
This requires tools and platforms that can integrate the public cloud with in-house systems or private clouds of the enterprises.
Some of the leading platforms are Atmosphere, Azure Platform App Fabric, Amazon SQS and Google App Engine for Business.

Due to the size of nano-technology and passive nature of the BioAPI, it is extremely difficult to demonstrate or prove anything. This concept of Direct-to-Speech is one of the few things
that can be referenced to demonstrate how an incoming signal can instruct your BioAPI's nano-implants to interrupt your normal speech, essentially cutting off the vocal speech pattern from
your brain/thought pattern, and inserting in real time a new vocal speech pattern; whether the new pattern being transmitted is coherent speech or gibberish as shown in these videos.
In this example the speaker is not speaking gibberish at all. The words are clear and concise; but obviously also mixed up in random order.
Again, the speaker knows what he is saying is wrong, backwards and incorrect, and therefore attempts to correct but can't.
The reporter here shows the exact same reaction to what is happening when she speaks as others do. Clearly surprised she is saying what she is saying, when the words she intends to speak are not
what comes out of her mouth. She knows
she is saying one word, but gibberish clearly comes out. Again, she tries to repeat and correct but can't, realizing something is wrong but has no idea what, she closes the broadcast quickly.
Again, very similar to the other reporters.
Bruce Almighty (2003)
[Update - 2012-04-20] I missed this clip before, I feel like a fool. Someone had to bring this to my attention. Thank you.
Black Limousine (2010)
For a clear example on how they are using direct-to-speech (specifically talking gibberish) or to a greater extent the BioAPI in general to warp the reality
of people see this Black Limousine (2010) clip and description which explains everything.
Apparently on a broadcast of the Judge Judy show she was talking gibberish too. I searched hard but the clip was
completely pulled from YouTube and the entire internet. What you see to the right is a TMZ report of the incident, it's weak but that's the best I can do.
This clip in my opinion is real world a demonstration of how people are actually controlled via suggestion while they are conscious they are doing it. Pushing thoughts makes it possible to insert in real time
a handler's idea into the cerebral cortex of the targeted individual. That then manifests as the targeted individual's own though and is then acted out accordingly. You simply do what
you think you want to do, but the thought is not yours. This is clearly demonstrated in the movie
The Adjustment Bureau (2011), when Matt Damon walks into the board room (about 22 minutes into the movie) and sees
people just standing there like statues, this is the equivalent of that scene but in real life.
Within the movies they repeatedly demonstrate how they are accomplishing things. They don't necessarily show the scientific details, but more accurately provide like a double meaning of
something in action. The movie Hanna (2011) is a good example and the only example that can bring any
clarity to this. Unfortunately the double
meaning (the audience will assume the woman talking to the girl has an earpiece on) will loose most people, but nonetheless this clip shows what can happen in real life for all people -
everyone with phase 1 and phase 2 which is the entire planet.
Suggesting something to someone's subconscious is also demonstrated in Metropia (2009), and Ultrasonic (2012) in the nice dog scene and clearly told to you in Earthkiller (2011).
Ultimately a subject (for example yourself, right now) may have no idea the thought they just had actually was not their thought at all. This concept is the basis for what has become known as gangstalking where the public at large (including friends and family at times) is perceived to be stalking and harassing someone (now known as a targeted individual).
A while back there was this incident in the UK where two Swedish women ran into traffic trying to kill themselves. At first glance the average fool must think they must be crazy.
A smarter person asks why, an even smarter person asks how.
What is being demonstrated here to everyone intentionally is Paralleling (or at least a subject's memory is suspended and then subsequently mind controlled at will). This is the process where a handler has complete remote control over someone's body, whether they are conscious of it (phase 1) or not (phase 2 optional). This clip (getting people to kill themselves) is the equivalent of the movie The Happening (2008), and to a lesser extent Surrogates (2009). Everything they are doing with the BioAPI is shown to you in the movies in multiple ways, and then proven and shown in real life for all to see. So this is a real life demonstration.
In summary, this is obviously not normal. For one women to randomly run out and try to kill herself is one thing, two of them at the same time? There is something else happening here. And if they were on drugs they would not have the dexterity demonstrated. Also notice it was on the prime time news, there was a documentary, etc. - all to hide what happened in plain sight for all too see. That's how it works.

A wonderful 3 night and 3 days adventure to Disneyland. We spent 2 days with park hopper passes, which was great. No real rush to see anything or to "cram it all in one day" type of mentality. It was a lot more relaxing. Toby and Jamie joined us so we enjoyed it even more. Best to check out the photo link above to get the idea of just how fun our time was down in the "Happiest Place on Earth."

Repulsion II
Eliot Weinberger
There's no doubt that someone in the California Justice Dept is hoping to make some headlines by dredging up the Roman Polanski case. But that hardly makes Polanski, as Andrew O'Hagan wrote on this blog, 'a silly old bugger who slept with a teenage model 32 years ago'. As we've all been reminded lately, Polanski was a 44-year-old man who drugged and repeatedly raped a 13-year-old girl who was pleading to go home. Then he called her parents and told them she'd be late.
One expects Hollywood to protect its own, but it is repulsive to see writers such as Paul Auster, Salman Rushdie and Milan Kundera signing on to Bernard-Henri Lévy's petition deploring that this 'ingenious filmmaker' has been 'apprehended like a common terrorist'. (Not even an extraordinary terrorist!) They apparently never got past their adolescent reading of Nietzsche. Or, as one wit somewhere on the internet put it, 'Jeffrey Dahmer would've been OK if he had directed Citizen Kane.'

Tonight on WWE NXT: It's time to get "Wild and Young" once again. While the Season 1 rookies did that last night on Raw, it's time for the new crop of rookies to step in and try to make an impression on the Season 2 debut of NXT. Unfortunately for them, by the time the show's done, they have to pay for the sins of their predecessors. Should be a good one!
And we are "LIVE!" from Tampa, Fla. Michael Cole and Josh Mathews are our commentators and Matt Striker is our host. This show is presented in WWEHD (TV-PG,V).
Striker is in the ring, still selling his side, and he's here to introduce us to the second season of NXT. He brings out the pros, who introduce their rookies. All 16 are in the ring. Michelle McCool and Layla make Kaval carry their belts to the ring. Cody Rhodes is not particularly enthused by Husky Harris, although the commentators say there's a story behind that, so we'll find that out eventually.
Striker says Season 2 will only be 12 weeks long and in three weeks, the Pros will cast their first votes and in six weeks, we'll have our first elimination. Striker says pros and rookies will be in action next and then Harris starts to say something into the mic and then Titus O'Neill shoves him and all the rookies start shoving, including the inevitable shot of Kaval and Eli Cottonwood standing off.
Match #1 - John Morrison (Los Angeles, Calif.) & Eli Cottonwood (River Falls, Wisc.) vs. Zack Ryder (Long Island, NY) & Titus O'Neill (Live Oak, Fla.)
Morrison tags in Cottonwood and Ryder wants nothing to do with him, tagging O'Neill in. O'Neill barks in Cottonwood's face and takes a big boot for his troubles. Cottonwood sets O'Neill down in the corner and tags Morrison in, who slings in and kicks O'Neill. O'Neill rolls out of the ring and hits the steel steps as Ryder gets in his face.
We're back and Ryder is briefly in control before Morrison takes over. Ryder tags O'Neill and it doesn't go well. Ryder breaks up a pin and gets sent out of the ring by Cottonwood with a big boot. Morrison then lines up O'Neill and hits Starship Pain.
Winners via pinfall: John Morrison & Eli Cottonwood
Striker comes into the ring and Morrison says Cottonwood held his own. He goes up to The Miz who says he was not impressed.
Match #2 - MVP (Miami, Fla.) & Percy Watson (Miami, Fla.) vs. Cody Rhodes (Marietta, Ga.) & Husky Harris (Brooksville, Fla.)
This is great, Watson wrestles with his glasses on.
The referee actually calls an illegal tag on Rhodes and Harris because Rhodes was in the middle of the apron when he was tagged, so he makes Rhodes do it all again. It's a shoot! Despite the mishap, Rhodes is still able to cut Watson off before he can tag MVP.
We're back and the dissension between Rhodes and Harris is evident as Rhodes doesn't want to tag him. He eventually does, though, and Harris hits a huge reverse splash that makes the crowd buzz. Somehow, Watson tags MVP and he goes to work on Harris, hitting the Ballin' Elbow. Rhodes goes to the top rope to try to save Harris but MVP hits him with a big boot. He tags in Watson, who hits a floatover DDT for the fall.
Winners via pinfall: MVP & Percy Watson
Striker is in the ring with everybody. He asks Rhodes for his impressions on Harris. He says Harris looks awfully familiar, in fact, he looks like somebody in his family and like all the fans. MVP says "Showtime" Percy Watson is ready for primetime.
All the pros and rookies are in the ring and they show the big angle from last night in its entirety.
Striker asks the rookies what they thought. Kaval says that's how you make an impression. Lucky Cannon says it was cowardly, but if you want to make a statement, that's how you do it. Husky Harris says he's doesn't care because he's here to win the show. Alex Riley sneezes twice and says he's allergic to Striker. Percy Watson says you fight one-on-one. Eli Cottonwood says he thinks Cena deserved every bit of it. Titus O'Neill challenges Season 1 to come out and try that on one of them and if you're going to fight, make it a fight.

A local coffee shop has been getting a lot of attention due to their recently imposed weekend laptop ban. The owner cites two reasons for such severe measures. The first being a lack of seating for patrons during their busiest days, which results in lost revenue for the cafe. The second being the antisocial environment created by a room full of individuals wearing headsets and staring at screens for hours at a time. In addition to the ban, the cafe is also limiting use of their Wi-Fi to a half-hour per customer per purchase. Not surprisingly, these changes are receiving mixed reviews from customers.
Restaurants and cafes have been navigating the positives and negatives of our growing digital connectivity for a number of years. On the one hand, the popularity of sharing food and décor photos on social media has helped many establishments grow their business. However, the realities of our device-obsessed culture has also impacted the experience of customers and staff alike in a many negative ways. The question is, "what, if anything, should we do about it?"
In cafes, the conflict centers around the so called 'laptop loiterers' or 'Wi-Fi hogs' and others who are there to socialize. In North America and across Europe, cafes have employed both 'carrot' and 'stick' measures to address the issue. Some have redesigned their space to create an unwelcoming environment for laptop squatters, with less comfortable seating, communal tables with less privacy, dimmer lighting and louder music. Unfortunately, these changes are also not welcoming for people who are there to visit with others. However, measures that are more targeted, such as blocking wall outlets to prevent the charging of devices, banning laptops and not offering free Wi-Fi, don't turn off the social crowd as much.
Some restaurants have tried banning phones, a few taking it to the extreme. A restaurant in France embarrasses cellphone users by blowing a whistle for their first offence and then kicking them out for the second offence. Others are going with the opposite strategy and are rewarding customers for 'good behavior.' For example, a restaurant in Pennsylvania offers a 10% discount for families of four plus who put their phones away during dinner. Chick-fil-A, the US fast food chain, is offering a free small cone for those who store their silenced phone in a box for the duration of their meal. And in Warsaw, Mastercard developed a promotion for three restaurants that allows customers to win prizes for storing their phones within a 'capsule,' with the value of the prize increasing the longer their phone is stored.
There's a bigger issue at hand here than the struggle between these establishments, device-focused customers and customers looking for a device-free experience. It's the growing 'loneliness epidemic' we're seeing around the world. There has been a lot of media coverage lately on the increasing isolation that seniors are experiencing. But this trend is not limited to the elderly. It's estimated that about 20% of Canadian adults experience loneliness and, in the US, it's doubled over the past three decades from 20% to 40%. It seems that younger generations are feeling it even more so. A 2016 study of Canadian University students found that approximately two-thirds confessed they felt very lonely in the year prior.
Technology plays a key role in contributing to our social isolation. Though the Internet can make us feel more connected, it's temporary — the more time we spend online, the more we feel disconnected and alone. Time spent online can also take time away from growing and fostering offline relationships, which are more satisfying and rewarding than online relationships. In addition, the mere presence of technology (i.e. digital devices) can hurt our relationships. Research shows that just having a phone nearby lowers relationship quality and closeness. Our use of technology on those around us and those we care about can't always be seen but it can be significant.
Given the rise in loneliness and prevalence of digital devices, is there a need to make some of our social spaces device-free? Yes, I think so. Beyond the emotional toll of feeling lonely, there are also significant health risks. Loneliness is as bad for you as obesity and worse than smoking 15 cigarettes per day; it increases the likelihood of an early death by 26%. Conversely, having greater social connections is associated with cutting our risk of early death in half. For me, that's a convincing enough reason for creating device-free social spaces that allow people to socialize, and cafes and restaurants seem like a great place to start. After all, we know that food brings people together. The relationships we build over a bite or a drink can help us live a longer, healthier and fuller life.
I'd love to hear from you. Do you think cafes and restaurants should limit digital devices in any way? Or should everyone be welcomed, whether they want to socialize or not? Are there other social spaces where you think we should ban devices? Let me know your thoughts.

Battlefield 4 Free Download9493755
From Bywpedia
Battlefield 4 has finally been shown off to the world at press events in San Francisco and Stockholm and some details about DICE's new shooter have been confirmed. , Like as on Facebook
While the Swedish developer is holding most of its cards to its chest, we now have some idea of what we can expect from EA's flagship shooter.
Battlefield 4: Frostbite 3
Thanks to an eye-popping 17-minute demo (see below) the first and most immediate detail that has emerged is that Battlefield 4 will be powered by the Frostbite 3 engine.
Frostbite 3 adds a level of realism to DICE's game that pays careful attention to detail; everything from dynamic lighting effects, to micro and macro destruction animations to even particle rendering looks note-perfect. It all combines to make Battlefield 4 look as close to real life as possible.
Battlefield 4's demo also confirmed that the series is set to remain in the theatre of modern warfare. This backs up what was said by DICE GM Karl Troedsson at GDC last year.
"There's a lot of things inspiring us as to how the franchise will move on," he said. "Everything from fans' feedback, to market research and, of course, what we want to build ourselves.
"It's not just one single thing. And, yes, I know Battlefield 4 is probably the most creative name we ever could come up with. I can't comment any more on that games because it's all secret. We still want to stay in this genre, the modern day as it is. We feel this is a place we can be and continue with the series. Battlefield 4 can live in this space and be very successful."
The demo also revealed the opening stages of the game will be set in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Some cryptic voice work towards the end of the demo also hinted that the geo-political backdrop involves forces from the US, China and Russia.
This had already been hinted at in an article on CVG, who posted a piece of Battlefield 4 teaser art that detailed the Shanghai skyline. CVG says this seems to confirm earlier reports that the lion's share of the single player campaign will take place in China.
Battlefield 4's release date has been confirmed or Autumn this year, or 'Fall 2013' as the trailer would have it. Players who pre-order it will receive the Premium DLC expansion pack for free.
Battlefield 4: Beta
According to a piece run by CVG an unnamed EA employee told the Reddit community, that Battlefield 4 would be out 'after the beta'.
It was expected this would take place in the autumn, but since Battlefield 4's release date is around that time, we should expect it a little earlier.
It's already been confirmed that players who pre-ordered the Medal Of Honor: Warfighter Limited Edition will gain access to the Beta. There's no word on how other players can access it, but rumours abound that pre-ordering Warfighter isn't the only way into it.
Battlefield 4: Platforms
No next generation platforms have been confirmed as yet – probably because DICE and EA are under console NDAs that are as radioactive as they are bulletproof. We have to say, though, that we'd be bowled over if Battlefield 4 wasn't being prepared for Sony's and Microsoft next gen machines.
However, in an interview with Eurogamer, DICE executive Peter Bach said that the game will run on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Wii U owners, on the other hand, are out of luck; Battlefield 4 will not be making its way to Nintendo's next gen platform.
"The biggest problem we have right now is we don't want to back down from what we see as our low spec machines. We right now don't have support for the Wii U in the Frostbite engine," he said.
"The reason for that is it takes development time. What should we focus on to create the best possible Battlefield experience? We are now focused on PC and the current-gen platforms, and then there might be other platforms in the future that we can't talk about..."
It's been reported on Eurogamer.net that EA is looking at making the Frostbite 2 engine that powers Battlefield 4 work with the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset.
In an interview with Eurogamer, head of the Frostbite creative team at DICE Frank Vitz said, "I am really eager to see how the Oculus Rift works with Frostbite. There are multiple titles in the works that would be awesome with the Rift."
He added: "It should be awesome. BF3 in S3D works great and our current version of the engine has all of that support still. I have one of the first Rift dev kits coming my way in March. We have an internal community eager to work on it... I know of at least four kits on order."
Implementation should be "pretty straightforward," Vitz said.
With so little rumours about, it's difficult to predict just what DICE has in store for the upcoming Battlefield 4. However, that hasn't stopped die-hard fans from conjuring up some ideas of their own.
Forums across the net are littered with user recommendations, with most pointing at better graphics, physics and gameplay. Here are some of our favourites from N4G users.
tr00p3r: "If this is a next-gen title, I would just like to see more of the same from BF3, but with better graphics, like a lot better than what we see at the moment. The gameplay is fine, so it doesn't need too much work. More tanks, jeeps, jets, equipment, unlocks..gonna be epic if this is next-gen."
Ares84HU: "In next gen I want better graphics and physics obviously. But I would love to see 64 player battles on consoles in the next Battlefield game with true destruction. I feel that BF3 was a step back from BFBC2 in the destruction area which is really bad I think because it was one of the biggest features I really loved in the game."
Battlefield 4: Gameplay
While there's no word yet about Battlefield 4's online modes – either co-op or multiplayer - DICE says that the single-player campaign has been rejigged to address the issues players and critics had with the same mode in Battlefield 3.
For starters, the gameplay will incorporate the more open, improvisational nature of the online modes. [http://www.origin-referral.com/index.php?id=396 Game Director Stefan Strandberg says that the single-player campaign will address this in Battlefield 4. "This is a game where the gameplay is centred around choice rather the predetermined solutions," he said, "Battlefield is about being able to improvise and form your own solutions to any challenge that lies ahead of you."]
Strandberg pointed to a moment in the demo in which the player hijacked a jeep after having his AI allies lay down suppressing fire and flanking it. "We're taking the best moments from multiplayer and incorporating them into single player," he said.

Kuwaiti Amir Reneges on Iranian Intel Deal
Asian Tribune Exclusive
By Dr. Richard L. Benkin - Asian Tribune
Los Angeles, 13 June, (Asiantribune.com): Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran have long boasted of their goals to export jihad to Muslim-majority nations that are not in tune with their brand of radical Islam. But now, a part-time intelligence operative has alleged to the Asian Tribune that Iranian intelligence agents were involved in an attempt to overthrow the government of Kuwait and murder members of the royal family, including Amir Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jabir al-Sabah, the nation's head of state. The allegations also include a claim that the Kuwaiti government first encouraged the operatives to gather more intelligence on the matter—which activities resulted in one agent's death—but then refused to provide agreed-upon payments or other forms of support, eventually suspending contacts.
An Iranian-born US resident told the Asian Tribune that a highly placed Iranian official and longtime acquaintance first contacted him as early as 2003 with information about the Iranian government's plans to "destabilize Sheikhdoms [the so-called littoral Gulf States] with objectives to change their governments." Thus ensued a process by which he was able to confirm the information's validity through independent sources. It was also during that period that he came across information that Kuwait and its Amir were specific targets in that overall Iranian effort. Once he believed the information was credible, the agent told the Asian Tribune, he contacted the Kuwaitis. Very soon after that contact, a member of the Kuwaiti royal family made contact with the agent who said the royal family member responded positively to the initial information. According to documents provided the Asian Tribune, a response by someone that high up in the royal family was not usual but "due to the sensitive nature of your message, I was asked to personally follow it up with you," the document said. The agent added that the Kuwaitis then "ran their own check" of the information and asked for a meeting.
The meeting, according to the Asian Tribune's informant, took place in June 2005 at a Los Angeles hotel. The agent met with a "designated trusted man of Amir," identified as "Bo Hamad Abdulaziz." To further substantiate his credibility, the agent faxed an "intelligence document" to the Kuwaitis prior to the meeting. That document, he said, confirms the Iranian plot against the Kuwaiti Amir and his government. (At that time in 2005, the Amir held positions, Chief of State and Head of Government.) The two met—after some back and forth negotiation as to location—at which time, the agent said, the Kuwaiti representative agreed to pay him and his operatives for additional information and encouraged them to continue their intelligence work. He noted told the Asian Tribune that Bo Hamad was "totally authorized by Amir to decide about the deal and all aspects of it." He also said the Amir was continuously aware of the events that were unfolding. Based on that, they proceeded and subsequently provided the Kuwaitis with two additional documents about Iranian activities against the emirate.
The Asian Tribune was told that in July, one of the operatives "was shot while leaving the Ministry" in Iran with additional intelligence. "His death was confirmed by my main contact." This caused their work on behalf of the Kuwaitis to be suspended. To date, it has not been re-started. Moreover, the intelligence agent further alleges that the Amir never paid him the money that Bo Hamad promised in exchange for their activities. For ten months, he says, "we requested they amicably take care of this obligation to no avail" and eventually threatened to go public. That decision was also motivated by anger over his associate's death. "Look, business is business," he said, "and if we put ourselves in such dangerous position to help Kuwaitis in return for agreed amount of payments, and Amir guaranteed it, then of course we feel we are cheated and…above all we lost one man on duty based on Amir's word to get more intelligence!"
The intelligence agent is convinced that the Kuwaitis have continued to use the intelligence he provided them. Between the times they received the first document and the Los Angeles meeting, Kuwaiti security arrested a number of agents belonging to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security. The government said the agents were spying on locations used by American personnel in Kuwait. It is unclear whether the arrests were linked to the information provided by the agent or if they helped pique Kuwaiti interest in him.
The Asian Tribune is continuing its investigation of the allegations and invites the Kuwaitis to contact us.

Although giving a live animal as a holiday gift is never a good idea, a number of organizations that rescue and care for abused and neglected animals offer the opportunity to "adopt" their shelter residents in name only, without the responsibilities that accompany "real life" adoptions. These sponsorships can be made in the name of a loved one, co-worker, friend or acquaintance, making for thoughtful, generous and fun offerings that embrace the rewards of caring for an animal, without jeopardizing their wellbeing. Why give yet another sweater, holiday-themed tie, or stack of top 40 CDs when you can gift someone with the joy of being an honorary adoptive parent to a homeless cat or dog for as little as $25? Sponsorships for the holidays abound, offering affordable gifts that nourish the spirit for both giver and recipient -- and help save the lives of the animals.
Animals Asia
Oh how we loved curling up with our teddy bears when we were little. So fuzzy and cuddly -- their warmth helped lull so many of us to sleep. Though we cherish the coziness of bears, they are certainly not practical to have in our homes. In Asia, thousands of live moon bears -- beautiful and sentient animals with the intelligence of a three-year-old -- are farmed for their bile, for use in traditional Asian medicine. Held in "crush cages," often without the space to stand or even turn around, they suffer great emotional and physical pain while being milked through (often rusty) catheters or holes cut in their abdomens. International animal welfare nonprofit Animals Asia works with government officials and bear farmers to free these bears and bring them to the organization's two placid moon bear rescue centers (in China and Vietnam) -- peaceful and beautiful sanctuaries where the bears can live out the rest of their lives in joyful comfort, with the best of care.
Bears such as Jasper, adored by humans and other bears alike, spend their days lolling on specially-made swings, playing with their friends and munching on delicious fruity treats. Adorable as they are, moon bears are wild animals and not companion animals for humans. However, for $45 per month, Animals Asia offers the opportunity to give the gift of sponsoring a rescued bears on behalf of someone else. You'll receive a giftable sponsorship certificate, photo of the sponsored bear, and information about the bear and his/her character to give to the adoptive parent. A great present for a teenager with an interest in animals, or a friend who seems to have bought everything they could ever want for themselves!
Farm Sanctuary
Children have a natural connection with farm animals. There is a peacefulness and love of life that they appear to share in common and revel in when together. It seems that as we get older, we disconnect from our pals on the farm. Farm animals have families and friends, just like we do. They play and express emotion and even respond to music, just like we do. Yet each year billions of them are held in atrocious conditions without access to any of their basic necessities (air, wholesome food, room to move) on industrialized factory farms in the United States. Farm Sanctuary is a national nonprofit organization that rescues, educates about and advocates for farm animals. Rescued animals are brought to live in the organization's three expansive shelters, located in upstate New York and California, where they are offered exceptional veterinary care, space to run, clean and sturdy shelter, plenty of healthy food and the respect of those who care for them. For the holidays, Farm Sanctuary offers the opportunity to give the sponsorship of one of their sweet residents as a present. You can give the gift of adopting a chicken named Dandypants for $10 a month or a steer named Blitzen for $50 a month. Other animals up for adoption include sheep, goats, ducks and pigs. The giftable sponsorship package includes a personalized adoption certificate, beautiful color photo and details about scheduling a VIP tour for the recipient to meet their new adopted friend. Now that's a lot more exciting than yet another plush animal toy under the tree!
Local Organizations
If you'd like to support your local animal welfare organizations, many are also offering animal sponsorships as holiday gifts. Through the Hinsdale Humane Society in Hinsdale, Ill., one can sponsor a homeless cat or dog for a minimum donation of $50. Gift givers may choose a dog, cat, kitten or puppy with recipients being sent a personalized Hinsdale Humane Society Gift Sponsorship Certificate including a photograph of the adoptee. On the west coast, Tony LaRussa's Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) in Walnut Creek, Cal. also offers a chance to give the gift of adoption without jeopardizing the welfare of an animal. Gift givers, for a donation of $25 or more, will be able to sponsor a homeless cat or dog, with a personalized eCard being sent to the recipient. Now, why give a generic gift certificate from a department store when for the same amount you can share the joy of helping a beautiful animal in need?
With all of the wonderful sponsorship opportunities offered by rescue organizations this gift giving season, there's no need to try to guess what your assistant will like or what size your aunt wears. Just think of all of the joy you can bring to humans and animals alike!

Howard Levy is a fabulous musician of unlimited talents who is one of the world's leading harmonica players. His list of credits would fill this page so just a few will be mentioned. If you think playing the harmonica is no big deal, you haven't heard what he can do with this small instrument.
To hear a sampling, click on his photo below to be transported to his website and a preview of his new DVD. You'll note that Howard doesn't use a chromatic harmonica. He performs on a simple diatonic instrument to play every note in the chromatic scale with amazing speed and dexterity using a method he has developed. You'll be amazed at the many famous musicians he has performed with. You've also heard him as a soloist on the sound tracks of major motion pictures. In addition to the harmonica, Howard is also a fantastic pianist and plays a number of other instruments as well. After you've been dazzled by what you'll read, see and hear on Howard's website, return here to read his interview. You'll be blown away with the many things this world-class musician has done and continues to do. If you aren't really impressed, you're made of stone!
Welcome to the Musicians Professional Resource (MPR), Howard. Yours is a very fabulous, interesting and varied career, and it has often been said that you are a musician without limitations. Tell us how and when you became interested in music and especially, how you ever decided to take up the harmonica (sometimes referred to as simply a "harp").
Howard Levy (HL) I started out taking piano lessons at home when I was 8. The first week, the teacher showed me the notes, how to read treble clef and play with the right hand. The second week, he showed me bass clef and the left hand. The third week, he gave me a simple piece to play with both hands. After that, I started to improvise. I had it in me, and just getting the basic structure shown to me brought out my natural ability. After a few months, the teacher told my parents that I needed a better teacher. They looked into it and I auditioned for the Manhattan School of Music. We lived in Queens (NY) and it was a long drive, but my parents took me every Saturday for 4 years. I studied music theory, took private piano lessons, and whenever I played a piece well enough, I got to perform it at Music Hour, a very humanely run program, where the woman in charge would offer helpful suggestions on improving your playing, and also open the floor to "constructive criticism" from fellow students. I learned a lot from this, and never had a serious fear of performing. My piano teacher, Jeanne Graham, made me play correctly, instilling discipline in me, showing me the need for clean and accurate technique, and at the same time encouraging my penchant for improvisation and composition. She also encouraged me to transpose pieces I was studying into other keys, a great thing to do. In theory class, we did ear training, dictation, and the like, which sharpened my ear greatly. It was also great to be in the company of fellow kids who loved music and could really play. I didn't feel like an outcast the way I did at grade school, where very few kids shared my love of classical music or improvisation. I put a band together in 6th grade of all my friends who played instruments. It was 2 clarinets, trumpet, bassoon, accordion, drums, and me on piano. I wrote out an arrangement of the one pop tune that the accordion player knew- The Alley Cat Song. We rehearsed for weeks and played the final assembly. The students cheered and shouted "Encore!" But we only knew that one tune, so we played it again. It was the first time that I realized that playing music could actually IMPROVE my social status! After that, I was in a jug band at summer camp when I was 14 or 15. There were 4 of us- guitar and washtub bass were the instruments. We worked out some 4 part harmony tunes- I remember singing Rag Doll by The 4 Seasons, which went over big. At the high school dances- it was the '60's- I borrowed a Farfisa electric organ and we drove to a school somewhere in Brooklyn. We- me, guitar, flute/sax, electric bass, and drums- had been rehearsing in my living room for a while, and we figured we were good enough to play a dance. It went pretty well. My father had to drive me there- I was 17, didn't know how to drive. Many more of those followed. I remember taking long Farfisa solos on "Light my Fire"- it meant that the band had less songs to learn. The same guys I played rock and roll with got into Blues and Jazz. There were 3 of us who went to concerts and clubs together, turned each other on to new records, etc. In our Jazz period, we played some open- mic nights at clubs in the Village, a gig at Harvard, played on the air on Harvard's radio station, etc. My friend Kieve, a classical violinist and self- taught drummer, got into Chicago Blues and started to play harmonica. Within a few weeks he sounded very good- within a few months even better. I had always been frustrated at having to find a piano if I wanted to play music. The harmonica seemed like such a great thing- you could bend notes, wail the blues, AND it fit in your pocket. I bought a Hohner Marine Band harmonica at Manny's Music on W. 48th St for $2.25 and asked Kieve to show me how to bend a note. He told me that it was hard to show me, because it was inside the mouth and intuitive- like learning how to ride a bike. I tried for months with no success. One day, at student orientation week at Northwestern (where I went to college for a year and a half) it suddenly clicked. I bent my first note and got obsessed with playing the harp. I carried it with me everywhere, playing hours each day, playing more and more things until I realized that there were some missing notes on the 10 hole diatonic harp that just weren't there. Being a pianist, I thought that this was impossible- they had to be there somewhere. So by stubborn experimentation, I found the missing 6 notes that allowed me to get a 3 octave chromatic scale. I had no idea that I was the first person to ever do this, but I was. (Before me, if you wanted to do this, you had to play the chromatic harmonica, the one with the button on the end. This is an entirely different instrument with a different sound). This was the start of a musical journey that has taken me more places, physically and musically, than I could have ever imagined. There is a lot of information about this at www.levyland.com.
MPR Tell us about your formal music education and how important it was to you.
HL After moving from New York to Chicago, I attended Northwestern University. While at NU, I auditioned for the piano chair in the Jazz band. I got it because I played jazz piano better than any of the other students, though my actual experience with reading charts was nil. It was on-the-job training, my first Jazz schooling. I learned what the chord names were as I went along. Before that, I had only known the most rudimentary chord names, though I had been playing some of the more advanced ones on my own. Now, I learned what they were called, and learned a lot more of them, too. It was at this point that I began to develop a love of practicing, discovery, and writing jazz compositions, and realized that, although I wasn't a music major at NU (and I would drop out after a year and a half), I wanted to make music my career.
MPR What were your earliest gigs like?
HR I was so into music that I would sit in anywhere if someone asked (and sometimes even if they didn't). I was desperate to play, and when I played well, it was noticed and I started to get gigs on piano and harmonica, in NY in 1971-72, and then back in Chicago. (This is such a long story that l have to leave a lot out.) My first "break" came from playing in a band in Chicago in 1976 that the great folksinger Steve Goodman took out on tour. That led to playing with John Prine. After a year of touring and recording with him, I started my own Jazz Quartet, co-founded The Balkan Rhythm Band, joined Chévere, etc, etc. This was around 1980. Playing with Chevere led to a gig subbing with Tito Puente, which led to my playing with Paquito D'Rivera, with whom I recorded my first 2 jazz harmonica solos in 1985 on the CBS album, "Explosion". This brought me to the attention of the Jazz and harmonica worlds. By that time, I was also playing on a lot of jingle sessions in the Chicago studios. In 1986, I put out "Harmonica Jazz" a cassette album of originals, standards, and Coltrane tunes with a Jazz trio. This spread my reputation on harmonica even more.
MPR How and when did you happen to become associated with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones?
HR After several years of eclectic musical activities in Chicago and a little touring, I met Bela Fleck at The Winnipeg Folk Festival in 1987, where I was playing with a band called Trapezoid. Bela and I met in the hotel lobby at the insistence of a friend, and we ended up jamming in my hotel room till 7 in the morning. In 1988 Bela got asked to do a TV show in Louisville. He put a band together with me, Victor and Roy Wooten. It was such a hit that we decided to try playing a few gigs, and The Flecktones were born. I did that full- time from 1989- 1992. It made me a very well-known musician, and opened many more opportunities for me to tour and record in the US and Europe.
MPR How and when did you start teaching?
HL I started teaching piano and harmonica around 1973 when I put up some ads in bookstores in Evanston where I lived. I was also working in factories, as a mover, a plumber's ass't, etc. Gradually, the word spread that I was a good teacher. I got enough students to quit the day gigs, and I also started to get some music gigs. I continued teaching, and eventually taught harmonica for a week for 7 summers from the mid '80's through early '90's at Augusta in Elkins, WV. This was a wonderful experience, and led to the making of my first harmonica instructional video, "New Directions for Harmonica" for Homespun Tapes in 1992. It has sold thousands of copies. I just made another one called "Harmonica Out of the Box", in which I perform and explain original tunes in 12 keys on one diatonic harmonica in the key of C. This is available through my website. I have also been a guest lecturer at Harvard, Dartmouth, Berklee, and other universities and schools in the US and Europe.
MPR What other musical activities are you currently involved with?
HL At the present time, I am involved in many bands and projects. 1) Chévere, a 9 piece Latin/Jazz/Everything band from Chicago. I started my own label (Balkan Samba Records) and put out the bands first long-overdue cd, "Secret Dream". www.cheveredechicago.com 2) Howard Levy's Acoustic Express- This is a 2 guitar, acoustic bass, and me group. It is based on the Django and Stephan bands of the '30's and 40's, but takes off in many other musical realms. We are trying to get a cd out. 3) The Molinaro/Levy Project- this is a duo with me on harmonica and the amazing pianist Anthony Molinaro. We have one cd out on 19/8 Records, "The Molinaro/Levy Project Live", with another one in the works. 4) Trio Globo- World Music and Jazz, with Glen Velez, percussion, and Eugene Friesen, cello. We have 2 cd's of original music composed by the 3 of us. 5) The Riessler/Levy/Matinier Trio- Contrabass clarinet, me on harmonica and piano, and accordion. These two European musicians are astounding players and composers. We play together in Europe, and plan to record a cd this year. 6) Howard Levy/Fox Fehling- me and my fiancée, a violinist in the Chicago Symphony. We have a cd out called "Cappuccino", a blend of classical, bluegrass, Latin, Jazz- very eclectic- and play occasional concerts. 7) In 2001, I composed my Concerto for Diatonic Harmonica and Orchestra, the first concerto written for diatonic harmonica. I have performed it 15 times in the US and Europe. I recorded it with The Czech National Symphony in Prague and hope to release it in 2008, along with another composition of mine composed in 1995, "Harmonia Mundi" a suite for harmonica and chamber ensemble. There is more, but ….
MPR How beneficial have you found your own website to be?
HL My web site has been incredibly beneficial to me. First, the schedule lets me know where I'm supposed to play when I can't remember. But seriously…a website is a wonderful thing to have. It has allowed me to stay connected to the whole world. People get in touch with me from everywhere through the website. Many concerts, recording sessions, teaching opportunities, etc, have come to me this way. I also put some memoirs and poems up there that I wanted to share with people as part of a general artistic statement. That's the great thing about a website- you can make it into whatever you want. My webmaster, Chris Sampson, is a musician and devoted lover of music. It has been a pleasure working with him. He tries to help as much as possible. We share ideas, ways to improve the site, etc. He also filmed my new dvd. Even though he lives in Houston, he drove up here and we did a 3-camera shoot. My site is very informative, and fulfills its function well. I sell a lot of merchandise. Currently, there are 2 dvds, a video, and 8 cd's available for purchase, plus many sound clips, and one video clip of the new dvd. I ship some of the merchandise, and Chris ships some from Texas.
MPR What advice would you give musicians starting out as professionals?
HL Advice- this is the hardest part. Don't be a professional musician unless you absolutely can't STAND to do anything else. Once you are committed to it, work as hard as you possibly can to keep getting better, because the competition is very stiff, no matter what kind of music you play. The thing I most like to hear from people who hear me play live is "Gee, you sounded even better than the last time I heard you". That is the best thing to hear, because as I like to say, "the alternative is very depressing". Take every single gig seriously, seeing it as an important step toward the improvement of your music and your career. Be purposeful. If there is one style of music that you really love and want to play, go hear the best people play it live, not just on recordings. Try to get one of them to teach you. Try to play with people who are better than you, because you will learn a lot more that way. If they don't like something you did, ask them why. If you screw something up, even sitting in at a jam session, go home and practice that thing as hard as you can until you can play it right. Every "failure" is an opportunity to improve. If you are a composer, try as hard as you can to get your music played. Whether that means starting your own band, applying for a grant, entering a contest- whatever- DO IT. If you don't, you will be frustrated, which will make you bitter. Sometimes, the world will not acknowledge your work. But when it does, it is a great feeling and it gives you the energy to write and perform more of it. To musicians playing tonal instruments, one of the most important things you can do is transpose pieces to all 12 keys, no matter what style you play in. This is not easy to do, but once you get used to doing it, it opens things up in a big way. There are no short cuts to mastering an instrument, no "easy" or "quick" ways. Just a combination of your talent and hard work. To musicians playing ANY instruments- try to get relaxed playing music in many different time meters, and also develop an understanding of music from different cultures, hearing it from the perspective of the people whose culture it is from. It is an amazing chance to see the 'big picture" of music, all the unique variations of the "universal language."
MPR Wow! That's a lot of great advice, Howard. Thank you for a really great interview and that sound advice. I'm sure many of our visitors will learn much from your experiences as you continue to be an inspiration to many!

116 – A type of belief
"Ahah, hahaha we will wait for you beneath the grounds." The military officer emitted a hideous laugh, his figure swaying and falling.
The other two also fell at the same time.
The smell of blood permeated the air.
"The dead duck has been cooked, but its beak is still stiff…….But this was still a pity. Their strength could be counted as high. The elite of the army, really became assassins." Ye Qingyu shook his head in disappointment. He had shown no mercy, because there was not a need to show mercy.
The three people would definitely not spit out the identity of the people standing behind them directing their actions. The opposing party had planned and schemed for so long, that they had even stretched out their hands into the Breakthrough barracks. Their identities were definitely significant. The three people were warriors who did not fear death, chosen very carefully for this mission. Even if they suffered torture and interrogation, they would not utter a word.
But what he could determine, was that the status and power of the person behind the scenes was definitely not simple.
After a slight consideration, he could largely figure out the identity behind this. The number of people in Deer city able to interfere in the business of the country's breakthrough barracks could be counted in two hands.
The person who wanted to kill himself became even clearer.
There was already an indistinct answer in Ye Qingyu's heart.
A clear and loud breathing coming from beside his ears.
Ye Qingyu turned his head to look.
The last military officer lay on the ice bed, his snore like thunder. This person's ability to sleep was really too great; such an event like heaven itself being overthrown had occurred in the ice room, and he as a martial artist did not sense anything. He was still in the midst of his sleep. Perhaps he would not even know how he died if Ye Qingyu had not stopped the assassins.
Ye Qingyu smiled, stowing away his sword and went to shake him awake.
The military officer squinted as he opened his eyes, staring at Ye Qingyu. Seeing Ye Qingyu's face, he was shocked. He quickly jumped up from the ice bed, rubbing his eyes and and the back of his head: "Eh? What is it? Superior Ye…..is it dawn? Are we about to set off………could it be that I have overslept?"
Ye Qingyu shook his head, pointing to the three corpses.
The military officer let out a shocked gasp, his sleepiness instantly gone. With a face of shock, he went over and observed for a while, saying: "Sword injuries…..an extremely fast sword……what happened? There's enemies attacking? But, superior you……just what is going on?"
Ye Qingyu retold what just just happened briefly to him.
"What? The military officer jumped up: "This is impossible?"
Ye Qingyu had a smile that was not a smile. "Why is it impossible? Do you mean, that I am lying?"
The military officer rushed to say his apologies. "Your subordinate does not dare. But its just that this matter is too bizarre. These three people entered along with me to the Breakthrough barracks, it has been four years already. At the start we enlisted into the military together. I understand them extremely well. To dare to ambush superior you, this is a crime punishable by death, this…….could they have gone crazy?"
The dismayed complexion of the military officer was astonished, evidently finding it hard to receive such news. He did not look like he was lying.
Ye Qingyu nodded his head, not saying anything else.
This matter, was really bizarre.
"The truth behind this matter, we will slowly investigate." Ye Qingyu gradually came in front of the window of the ice room, looking out at the heavy snow outside in the boundless white. Saying in a considering tone: "Don't worry, I won't blame you. There will be such a day that the water recedes and the rocks are exposed*. I have a feeling, that our journey will not be too peaceful."
Hearing this, the military officer was moved. Bowing his thanks: "Thank you sir, for your trust."
Before he had finished.
Silver weapons, like a toxic snake coming from its den, shot out. In the instant that the military officer lowered his head, these weapons exploded from his nape without sounds or signs, striking towards Ye Qingyu.
The Ye Qingyu who had his back facing him absolutely did not notice such a minuscule movement.
The hidden weapon did not emit any sounds.
This was a sure kill.
Rapid sounds of metal clashing resounded.
Accompanied by the clustered sparks, three silver needles enough to penetrate was sent flying. They landed against the walls of the ice room.
The Little Shang sword was held in Ye Qingyu's left hand. He had long turned around, grinning mockingly at the military officer.
Seeing that his sneak attack had not been successful, the military officer's reaction was very quick. Like a snake, he moved from his original position, flashing and widening their distance. After reaching ten metres away, he had an expression of surprise at Ye Qingyu: "You…..so you had long make preparations. But, just how did you discover I was also a killer?"
"Haha, a Spirit spring expert, can he enter into such a deep sleep? So deep that he could not even sense such strong yuan qi fluctuations right next to him?" Ye Qingyu held the Little Shang sword with one hand, the autumn water body of the blade glowing and illuminating the ice room. Like moving quicksilver, he pressed forward step by step. "And in such a situation, he would still pretend to be asleep? Are you too stupid or too retarded?"
A streak of embarrassed anger immediately coloured the face of the military officer. "Die!"
The joints of his body moved like a machine.
Countless dim glimmers pierced through space and struck at him.
Everyone of them were hidden weapons.
The hidden weapons swept through the air like a rain shower in a stormy gale, completely covering him.
In such a cramped ice room, to avoid this storm of concealed weapons was really something too hard.
But Ye Qingyu had never thought of evading.
He let out a long peal of laughter, taking a step forward. The Little Shang sword in his hand transformed into a gale of swords, not retreating but advancing forward instead.
There were constant sparks shining in the air.
The torrential rainstorm of concealed weaponry was swept into the storm of swords and was then crushed and destroyed into pieces. Not one single hidden weapon could penetrate within three metres around Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu pressed forward, step by step.
The gaze of the military officer became fiercer and fiercer, struggling like a confined beast.
The unceasing piercing sounds continued. There were constantly all varieties of concealed weapons exploding from his hands, shoulders, waist, chest, knee and feet, all sorts of strange locations, making one unable to guard against it.
But no matter what the weapon, it could not pose as any sort of threat for Ye Qingyu.
Holding the Little Shang sword, Ye Qingyu was like a warrior holding an umbrella in the turbulent rain. No matter how fierce the rain was, the water could not get near his body.
Seeing that Ye Qingyu was already three metres close from him, the military officer realised that he had already lost the most ideal distance to launch his hidden weapons. His body shimmered, wanting to move away and continue to battle…………
Ye qingyu did not give him the chance.
""Storm of swords!"
The [Storm of swords], one of the four moves of the unmatched general was used. The power completely exploded.
Ye Qingyu's body transformed into a flow of light, one man and one sword moving at great speed. In a moments time, he had completely covered the distance between the figure of the military officer and himself.
The wind of blades passed by.
Then it stopped.
Ye Qingyu halted his intertwined footsteps.
The Little Shang sword in his hand, was not dyed with a hint of blood, still as clear as water.
Behind him.
The military officer had a sinister expression, his mouth opened wide. His figure was frozen, not able to throw his hidden weapons anymore. There was a strange whimpering emitting from his throat, and in these gurgles, five or six jets of blood spat out. His body fell over like toy building blocks, transforming into six or seven irregular pieces.
Ye Qingyu turned around.
He turned and saw the hacked up corpse by his foot, shocking even he himself.
After being speechless, Demon king Ye had an apologetic expression: "Aiya, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. My apologies, today is the first time that I used the [Storm of swords] in real combat and I am not completely familiar with it. I did not think its power would be so great, that it would hack you apart into pieces. I will definitely take notice for next time, and leave you with a whole corpse. "
The door of the ice room.
The head of the guards and the other sentinels had finally arrived. hearing of the commotion, they finally rushed over. Shock was in their expressions as they looked at Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu gave them a smile, and attempted to explain himself. "It has nothing to do with me, they wanted to kill me first."
"This……" The leader and the soldiers still had hearts filled with caution and suspicion.
Ye Qingyu could only say: "When I was in deer city, I managed to offend some people, therefore they decided to act against me in secret. These four officers, are the assassins that these people have arranged……How about it, if I say it like this, can you guys understand?"
The head and the sentries still had gazes holding caution as they looked towards Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu stowed away the Little Shang sword back into the dantian world in the Spirit spring to nourish, and helplessly rubbed his jaw. To add to his persuasive power, he took out the brass heroic medal, placing it into his palm and displaying it.
This was Ye Qingyu's attempt at adding to his trustworthiness.
He did not think, that in the instant they saw the military medal, all the suspicious contained in the eyes of the sentries completely vanished. It was replaced by an hard to describe admiration and worship. Their bodies even started quivering. The head of the sentries was especially moved, emotions in his eyes.
""Youyan pass [Return Point camp] sixteen year old veteran, head of the fifty fifth sentry post Yan Fan, pays respect to his superior!"
"We pay respect to our superior!"
"We pay respect to our superior!"
The head and the sentinels bent their bodies, doing the most standard imperial military salute.
Ye Qingyu was taken back.
He did not know whether it was a mistaken sensation, but in this instant he suddenly saw in the normal bodies of the old veterans, a radiance that even experts like Wang Jianru and the others did not possess. A feeling that was hard to describe using language completely enveloped Ye Qingyu in this moment. Ye Qingyu's impression of the old veterans greatly raised.
Ye Qingyu returned the military salute.
It was the his first military salute in his life.
His movements were somewhat stiff, but it was very correct.
Evidently, the medal that Ye Qingyu thought the greatest use was to threaten the nobles had caused the suspicions of the sentinels to completely extinguish. The military medal had a nearly holy power, a power that was akin to religion. The moment they saw this military badge, they chose to trust Ye Qingyu without any reservations.
To exaggerate even more, with this military medal in his hand, even if the real killer was Ye Qingyu, the others would still determinedly stand on Ye Qingyu's side.
Ye Qingyu felt that he had previously underestimated the power of this military medal.
"Sir, let us take care of the corpses….." Yan Fan already began to consider matters from Ye Qingyu's perspective. "
Ye Qingyu nodded his head.
Yan Fan and the others began to clean the ice room.
This head of the soldiers personally inspected the four corpses of the military officers in detail, doing a detailed record for future investigation. On the record, he signed his name personally demonstrating that he was willing to be a witness in the future, and asked for Ye Qingyu's further opinion.
"Can the formation start conveying now?" Ye Qingyu was still concerned about this matter.
The head shook his head, shame on his face.
"Try it again more, I'm not in that a hurry….." Ye Qingyu said: "You don't need to have that much pressure…."
Before he had finished.
A terrifying energy, struck against the formation on the outer of this watch post. Nearly in a split second, it destroyed and annihilated the formation that was enough to receive the full power strike of someone at the twenty Spirit springs stage.
The icy rocks around the sentry post was completely broken apart.
Within the ice room, the earth began trembling and quaking.
"Just what is happening?" Ye Qingyu said blankly.
"Ambush!An enemy is attacking! Quickly send out the signal of attack!" The expression of the head and the sentries, instantly became serious.

Empty Feelings

EHC close out regular season with win, wonder what could have been
Olympic Ice Stadium, Munich, March 12 – EHC München ended their season on a high note, defeating the Hamburg Freezers 4-2 on Sunday.
Munich rebounded from their devastating loss on Friday that eliminated them from the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) playoffs, getting goals from Martin Buchwieser and Ulrich Maurer in the 1st period, and icing it in the final period with scores from Jason Ulmer and Brandon Dietrich.
The win removed some of the disapointment of missing the playoffs, a goal that this team fully expected to reach the whole season.
"I'm happy we won the game and give the fans something to cheer about," said head coach Pat Cortina.
"Unfortunately we missed out (on the playoffs). We have to learn from it, we have to get better from it."
Last year, EHC made the pre-playoffs in their first year in the DEL, the top flight of German hockey. But the team was worn out and were quickly eliminated.
Going into this year, expectations were high and making the postseason was possible. However, coming into this weekend when Munich had to win all their games and get some help, they had lost five of six and dropped out of the playoff picture.
EHC had to recover from injuries all year, but no other injury weighed heavier than the loss of one of the league's best goalie, Jochen Reimer, just weeks left in the season. His season-ending injury was in a long line of injuries to key players that prevented the club from playing consistently.
"We had a playoff team," stated general manager Christian Winkler confidently. "For one reason or another, we had lots of injuries, Reimsy, Bryan Adams, Noah Clarke never found his game due his shoulder injury in the preseason. We have to keep our base and we'll be a playoff team next year."
Adam's shoulder injury back in November was one that Winkler described as a catastrophe, one that resonated on the team.
"We missed Bryan Adams work-ethic, he was such an important player for us," said Cortina. "He's the type of guy that reflects what are team is all about – hardworking, honest team. With his enthusiasm and work, he was a type of player who can turn a situation, not so much by scoring a goal, maybe just going on the ice, skating and hitting and winning battles and just bringing lots of energy. And that's what lacked in critical moments, his leadership his presence."
EHC are limited due to their budget and unlike the bigger hockey clubs, they cannot replace players and keep up the level.
Freezers coach Benoit Laporte sympathized. "With our budget, we can't compete so if we have some injuries, we can't get more players, that's what happened to EHC. Berlin lost some key players and look, they finished first."
Munich will have to work within their budget and build depth for next year to prevent injuries affecting their season.
"Christian (Winkler) has openly said if we don't reach our goal, we are going to make some changes," said Cortina. "And that's expected. As far as who, it's too early. We have to assess what we like as a team, look at who we have, look at what's available."
While EHC will look to the next season, the Freezers will move on and as the 5th seed, they will take on the 4th seed Mannheim Eagles in 11 days.
"There were no players who were suspended or injured for the next game, so that was our goal tonight," confirmed Laporte. Regarding the pre-playoff bye and break coming, "we have injured players, minor injuries so (this break) is coming at a right time."
Both coaches agreed that the DEL is a tough league, the difference between the top seed and the #10 team was only 18 points in the regular season, and the playoffs won't be any different.
"You have to consider the top four teams as the favorite," said Laporte. "Mannheim is the best team on paper in the league, we are gonna have to play our best hockey if we want to beat them."
"Four of the playoff teams this year had bad years last season," analyzed Cortina. "I knew that they would bounce back, and that made it tough for us this year. We will have to aim to be in the top 10 next season. Just not getting (into the playoffs) hurts, but as bad as we want to make it out to be, our season was not that bad. We are in a competitive league."
Despite the disappointment, EHC are already focusing on the future, as Winkler said it the best: "I am able to take the frustration and use it as motivation for next year."
