Questor says Buy
The company provides animals which have better genes compared with current livestock in terms of yield, health and hardiness.
Animals with better genes produce more meat, live longer and are cheaper in terms of vet bills. Genus produces the sperm (in the case of bulls) or animals (in the case of pigs) that provides these traits. It operates stud farms and sells quality breeding pigs and bull semen to farmers across the globe.
The food security theme has become very prominent over recent months, with Russia halting wheat exports because of drought and fires and BHP Billiton making a bid for fertiliser group PotashCorp of Saskatchewan. There have even been food riots in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, in an echo of the 2008 food crisis.
These themes are not going to go away as the global population rises and gentrifies. Quite simply, more people in the world require additional food and richer people eat more meat. That's the long-term investment case of Genus.
The agriculture market has gone through a very deep recession over the past couple of years, but markets will recover.
The company has a target of growing earnings per share by 12pc to 14pc each year from 2011.
Full-year results, released on Tuesday, were ahead of analysts' expectations, and upgrades in the current year are expected.
In the year to June 30, revenues rose 2pc to £285.3m and pre-tax profits jumped 56pc to £40.8m. However, on an adjusted basis, which strips out amortisation and "valuation movements on biological assets", pre-tax profits rose a more modest 3pc. Positively, operating profits saw double-digit growth in the second half of the year.
The company does not pay an interim dividend, but the final payment was raised by 10pc to 12.1p. It will be paid on January 7 and the shares trade ex-dividend for this payment on December 8. The company also said that Bob Lawson will become its executive chairman when John Hawkins retires later this year. Mr Lawson is also chairman of Barratt Developments and Hays, although he will shortly retire from the latter.
The US dairy market has been sluggish and is not expected to recover until 2012, but strength in emerging economies should take up some of the slack.
Cows cannot produce milk unless they are pregnant and farmers have been running down their stores of semen. Signs of a recovery in the Chinese pig industry are also not yet clear. Genus said pig prices had risen sufficiently to restore customer profitability in all markets except China and that "customer confidence in investing to upgrade porcine genetics has returned".
All of this uncertainty means that the shares are unlikely to outperform in the short term. However, as a strategic investment Questor likes the shares because the themes of rising population and a looming food crisis will not go away.
The shares are trading on a June 2011 earnings multiple of 19.3 times, falling to 16.8 in 2012. The yield is 1.7pc. A purchase was first recommended on September 16 last year at 700p and the shares have been volatile since then as the US dairy market remained sluggish. They are up 7pc, in line with the market.
Shares in Genus are a buy based the long-term bull market in food production.

Adult Bachelor's Degree
If you'd like to start or complete your college career as an adult, our program is designed for you. Adult learners often attend classes while juggling a full-time job and family responsibilities. Evening classes accommodate your busy schedule.
Most students take classes two nights a week year-round to earn their degrees in the shortest time possible. However, this isn't an accelerated degree program. Your degree is comparable to a traditional four-year program. In addition, you may be able to apply previously earned and eligible college credits toward a Wingate University degree.
Human Services
If you want to start or continue a career that's focused on helping others, then our human services major can help you achieve your goal. Being a human services major means gaining the in-class preparation needed to succeed as a professional in psychology, social services, non-profit organizations, the ministry, and the health field.
Perhaps you have graduate school on your radar? Wingate University's human services major provides the educational foundation you need to succeed in advanced degree programs in counseling, psychology, or social work.
Small Classes Deliver Big Results
Our small class sizes mean you get the individual attention you need to thrive. This also means you really get to know your professors and classmates. These relationships don't end at the classroom door.
Our faculty and staff take pride in working with you as an individual; your schedules and concerns are our priority so you can achieve your goal of obtaining a degree. Many of our alumni forge valuable, lifelong connections with classmates. That's why we say Wingate is more than a university: it's a community.
Organizational Communication & Management
When employers evaluate candidates for new positions or promotion, they consistently look for excellent communication skills. Our Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree with a major in organizational communication and management helps you hone these critical skills.

Usage examples of khan.
Shere Khan was always crossing his path in the jungle, for as Akela grew older and feebler the lame tiger had come to be great friends with the younger wolves of the Pack, who followed him for scraps, a thing Akela would never have allowed if he had dared to push his authority to the proper bounds.
When they were all gathered together, Shere Khan began to speak--a thing he would never have dared to do when Akela was in his prime.
Khan turned away from his view of the city to behold, to his surprise and dismay, the Lady Ament striding toward him across the rampart.
Now I observed lines of priests wrapped in great capes, kneeling upon the face of the rock and engaged apparently in prayer, but of Hes the Mother, or of Atene, or of the corpse of the dead Khan I could see nothing.
There, too, standing near to her were the Khania Atene and her uncle the old Shaman, who looked but ill at ease, and lastly, stretched upon his funeral couch, the fiery light beating upon his stark form and face, lay the dead Khan, Rassen.
When did you first know, bahadur, that it was Ali Khan, not I, who had been taken prisoner?
Surajah Dowlat, and, with the same ceremony, to substitute Ali Khan in his room, who was publicly acknowledged by the people as suba, or viceroy, of the provinces of Bengal, Banar, and Orixa.
Akbar Khan rode off alone to a nearby village, while the two daffadars prepared a frugal meal of chapattis and dried fish and fed and watered the weary bullocks.
They left as they had come, the daffadars driving the bullock cart, and Akbar Khan riding ahead of them on his swaybacked country-bred horse, his turbaned head held high.
Gray half expected more darklings to move out of the shadows at them, and the Khan, at his waist, almost vibrated with eagerness, but .
In theory, there should have been nothing the meddling American could do to derail Gomorrah, but Khan was not inclined to take chances where Seven was concerned.
So now, at a hint from Nana Sahib, the Dewan seized upon Ajeet, voicing a righteous indignation at his crime of decoity, and gave him the alternative of being strangled with a bow-string or forcing the Gulab to go to the camp of Amir Khan to betray him.
And he had known his Amir Khan well when he had told the Dewan that the fierce Pindari was gentle enough when it came to a matter of feminine beauty, for Bootea made an impression.
And, Dewani, this restless cuss, Amir Khan, might make a treaty with the English any time.
Und efen if der Great Khan iss dead, they are going first to conquer Italy and Burgundy and France and eferything.

Investigators say Steven Montes secretly recorded underage female band members who he instructed to try on uniforms. Montes taught band for one year at Divisadero Middle School in Visalia, as well. Visalia Unified officials say they're looking into, but hoping not to find any victims from this campus.
Montes is facing serious criminal charges. Investigators say he was on suicide watch following his arrest. A student reported finding a hidden camera in a classroom Friday at Riverdale High School.
Sex crimes detectives say the camera recorded her and at least one other student undressing as they tried on band uniforms at Montes' request.
"We've been in contact with the Visalia Police Department and the Fresno Sheriff's Department, and we're fully cooperating with the investigation," said VUSD Superintendent Dr. Craig Wheaton. "We certainly hope that there are no victims in Visalia."
Wheaton says Montes also taught band at Divisadero Middle School during the 2012-2013 school year. He served at a few elementary schools in the district that year as well. There were no complaints about Montes in Visalia.
At Riverdale High School, where Montes began working last year, students also say there were no red flags. "I was in shock because he seemed okay, he seemed normal," said Jesse Velasco.
Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims says it will take weeks to search through the accused teacher's digital belongings. "Several additional computers and other media devices were recovered from various locations during the investigation," Mims said.
Riverdale Unified's superintendent says as soon as the investigation began Montes resigned from the high school. "It's important to note that creating a trusting and safe environment is a top priority for our district and we will continue to do that," Pete Faragia said. "We will work close with any students and families affected by this situation."
Montes lives in Visalia with his wife and kids. He bailed out of jail Saturday. State or federal charges are expected to be filed soon.
School officials say if there are any victims that come forward, it's best to report the alleged crimes to police.

PUNCH PASSES: As we get ready to embark on another athletic season here at Tampa Catholic I thought this would be a good time to let everyone know about our Punch Passes and how they can save you a little bit of money. We have passes available that enable someone to attend 10 of our home athletic events for the price of 8. Our general admission to games is $5, so normally it would cost $50 to attend 10 events. A Punch Pass can be purchased for the cost of $40 that will give admittance for 10 events with the exception of the Jesuit games and any state series contests, a savings of $10. Passes can be purchased at any of our home games (cash only) or on the TC website by going to the ticket booth (credit card). If purchased on the ticket booth the card will be mailed to you. When you consider the over 100 home contests that we will have this school year you might want to purchase several passes. I know several of you have already taken advantage of this offer. Why not get passes for family and friends and save more money along the way? $10 saved may not be much in this day and age, but you could use the extra $10 at our concession stands and have a little something to eat and drink while at the game.
PRE-SEASON: Both our volleyball team and our football team are involved in pre-season contests this week. Our volleyball team travelled to Calvary Christian in Clearwater yesterday for 2 pre-season matches and our football team is in action tonight at Gaither High School in a Kick-off Classic. Although these contests don't count as regular season contests they give our coaches a good chance to play against someone other than themselves and gives them and our teams a chance to see where they are at before the regular season begins.
REGULAR SEASON: Some of our teams will start regular season play next week:
Tuesday at TC vs. Seffner Christian; JV 5:00/Varsity 6:00
Thursday at TC vs. Sunlake; JV 6:00/Varsity 7:00
Tuesday at Rogers Park vs. Shorecrest; 4:00
Thursday at Cheval vs. Carrolllwood Day; 4:00 (boys only)
ELITE 24: Senior basketball player Kevin Knox is in New York City for the Under Armour Elite 24 game. This game brings together 24 of the best high school basketball players in the country. The game will air on ESPNU Saturday evening at 7:30. This is the first time a Tampa Catholic basketball player has appeared in this game that is played outside at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 2 overlooking the skyline of lower Manhattan. It is a great honor not only for Kevin but for all of us at TC.
Hopefully you can make it out to the football game tonight, volleyball and golf next week, and watch Kevin Sat. There is no charge to attend any of our golf matches. We had a great crowd for Teacher Meet & Greet Wednesday night and hope for the same at our athletic contests. Remember we are all a part of TC Nation and we all are a part of the development of our student athletics on the field of play, in the classroom, and in the community. GO TC!

Macroli Patata~A guest Recipe
It all started when I tried to call my mom in India and wanted to talk to her.I could not(due to some reasons) so the whole day passed thinking of the good old days I had with my parents when I was living with them. Days ,months , years,and even decades have passed that I have moved away from India and now I live here with my husband and 2 children.Each day I come home from work I try to prepare a meal that we all have a liking for.Somehow never have been able to convince my son who says Bhaji should not exist.So I always have something special for him just like the way my mother did when I was younger.
My daughter on the other hand has learnt to eat anything and everything and a HUGE THANKS goes to INDIA,and our India trips.Then, there is my husband who was so picky when we got married but times change and anything that I put on the table nowadays is always appreciated.
Now back to myself,I remember When we went out with Mom and Dad and come home late we asked her to make this wonderful slurpy soupy MACROLI PATATA, thats what we called it back then in India.So soon as I got home, I went straight to the pantry, got out the Elbow Macaroni and started to cook this dish.Its so simple and yet Indian but very Sindhi recipe.

Welcome to Walmart. The nurse will be right with you.
Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, has spent years trying to turn some of its millions of customers into patients, offering a simple menu of medical services that consumers can buy along with everything from a bag of chips to a lawn mower. Now, the store is making an aggressive push to become a one-stop shopping destination for medical care.
The company has opened five primary care locations in South Carolina and Texas, and plans to open a sixth clinic in Palestine, Tex., on Friday and another six by the end of the year. The clinics, it says, can offer a broader range of services, like chronic disease management, than the 100 or so acute care clinics leased by hospital operators at Walmarts across the country. Unlike CVS or Walgreens, which also offer some similar services, or Costco, which offers eye care, Walmart is marketing itself as a primary medical provider.
Like its competitors, Walmart is looking to grab a bigger share of the billions of health care dollars being spent in the United States and benefit from the changes that have resulted from the Affordable Care Act.
With its vast rural footprint, Walmart is positioning its primary care clinics in areas where doctors are scarce, and where medical care, with or without insurance, can be prohibitively expensive. If they succeed, the company said, it is prepared to open even more.
"If they're rolling it out across the rural stores primarily, they're actually filling an important gap in the health care ecosystem," said Skip Snow, a health care analyst at Forrester Research.
But while experts agree that increased access to health care is a good thing, others say patients with chronic conditions need complex care that retail giants cannot provide. Diseases like diabetes, for example, can result in complications that are not easy to manage.
"There's not a role for retail clinics to take care of chronic, ongoing problems like that," said Dr. Robert L. Wergin, the president-elect of the American Academy of Family Physicians. "It can provide a service, maybe an entryway into a system."
While the company says that about 15 to 20 patients use the existing primary clinics every day, a large percentage of those patients do not have a primary doctor outside Walmart, according to Dr. David Severance, the corporate medical director at QuadMed, which is joining with Walmart to help staff and run the clinics.
For patients with complex issues, Dr. Severance said, the goal was for Walmart to be a patient's first stop and part of a continuum of care. "In that circumstance, it's our desire to get those individuals established with a primary care provider, preferably a physician within the community," he said.
Last year, Walgreens announced it would begin offering some primary care services like disease monitoring at its 400 clinics across the country. But it does not market the facilities as primary care clinics, a spokesman, John Cohn, said, adding that the company "strongly" encourages patients to seek continuing care elsewhere.
"Walgreens is still trying to be a little careful in how they talk about primary care," said Tom Charland, the chief executive of Merchant Medicine, a health care research and consulting firm. "Walmart puts primary care out there front and center. In that sense, I think it will be more comprehensive because primary care is their stated intention."
According to its website, Walmart's "expanded scope of coverage enables us to be your primary medical provider."
While the retailer has been pushing into health care for years, its early attempts stumbled. Dozens of acute care clinics have closed, largely because of management problems.
The primary clinic model could offer some new advantages over the more basic clinics, often referred to as "retail clinics." The limited list of minor illnesses that a retail clinic can treat — the flu, for instance — often peaks in the winter months, Mr. Charland said, and slows down significantly at other times of year.
Walmart also says it will be better off working with just one partner, QuadMed, instead of multiple partners that each run a handful of clinics, which was the model used in its acute care clinics. With just one or two stores, it can be difficult to spot problems that may be more obvious with more locations, Mr. Charland said.
Along with medical assistants, nurse practitioners, who generally receive less training than doctors but can prescribe most of the same medications, run the primary clinics.
While each Walmart primary care clinic has a supervisory physician who oversees compliance and prescription orders at one or two locations, those doctors do not actually treat patients. The system is the same as for acute care clinics that treat minor skin infections or a sprained ankle, but it is more unusual for facilities that provide more complicated health services, said Dr. Steven J. Kravet, the president of Johns Hopkins Community Physicians.
"I'm not saying there's not a role for it. We just really have to find the right role," Dr. Kravet said. "What you want is patients to get the right providers."
Disease management is big business. Most of the $1.7 trillion that Americans spend annually goes to handling chronic illnesses, Mr. Snow, the Forrester analyst, said.
For Walmart, that could mean a more regular stream of patients that helps increase foot traffic.
Walmart's same-store sales, or sales at stores that have typically been open for more than 12 months, have been on the decline in recent months, and 10 percent of sales have evaporated at big retailers as more consumers shop online, according to Matt Nemer, a retail analyst with Wells Fargo.
The Walmart primary care clinics charge patients $40 a visit; employees at the company and their dependents who are covered under its own insurance pay $4 a visit. (Walmart says that more than half of its 1.1 million employees currently receive health care through the company.) While it accepts Medicare, it does not currently accept third-party insurance, although it is exploring the option, a spokeswoman, Danit Marquardt, said, adding that it is starting to enroll some of its stores in Medicaid.
But the primary care clinics can help drive traffic to Walmart's pharmacies, which do accept insurance, and could stand to benefit from the growing number of people now signing up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
"To make it profitable, you need to make it have more than just a clinical encounter," said Dr. Glenn Hammack, the founding president and chief executive of NuPhysicia, which closed the six clinics it briefly ran in Walmart stores. "You also need to sell them prescriptions, a bag of chips, maybe a magazine while they're waiting."

Rating: NNNNN
As one of the 7,500 Nike RunTO clones who flocked to Centre Island this past Sunday, July 27, I'm recovering from a severe case of corporate brainwashing. When I saw the very first ad for the 10-kilometre race, I swore I wouldn't run it. The Nike campaign wasn't just advertising, it was like an infestation swarming our city like last year's aphids.
I couldn't stand on a street corner without seeing the Swedish-flag-like blue-and-gold banners taunt me as they rolled by on the side of streetcars, or worse, pulsed menacingly throughout subway stations and train cars. I'm a runner, after all, a veteran of the Sporting Life 10K, the Pride And Remembrance Run, the Night Crawler 5 mile and more. So the more I ignored the Nike signs, the louder they got. I was like a Greek sailor being lured to rocky shores by the song of sirens. Sucker that I am, I finally registered and became clone number 4574.
Emotionally, I was a mess about my decision. A bunch of suits wanted to manipulate runners into buying Nike running shoes. And now I was an enabler. The runner in me was torn.
With my tail between my legs I stopped in to pick up my race kit, a plastic bag with a T-shirt and ferry pass, and stuffed it into my knapsack; I didn't want anyone who really knows me to see me with a Nike bag. At home, I tried on the T-shirt and felt ashamed.
Turns out my gut feeling was bang on. RUNTO was simply a swoosh orgy; Nike's trademark emblem was plastered everywhere. From the moment I got on the ferry to the moment I crossed the finish line, all I was fed was branding. Everyone was in blue T-shirts with the words "A New Obsession" on their backs.
Nike's dream was to have a race where 10,000 runners were wearing the exact same thing. What a great photo op that would have been! But it wasn't a sold-out event, and lots of us stripped our shirts from our bodies. I'm sure there were runners who removed them because it was such a hot day; I'm also certain there were others like me who couldn't give Nike the satisfaction it was looking for. I was not going to cross the finish line wearing its logo.
I guess what it boils down to is that the "Just do it" empire just doesn't get it. Running events are grassroots celebrations of fitness and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. In a normal fun run, spectators hold signs that read "You're looking great" or "You're the best." The RUNTO messages may have had some appeal in a boardroom, but on the race course they were sheer perversion. Sarcasm like "10K to the fetal position" is the last thing any runner wants to see.
And the whole affair was a gross cash grab: waffle breakfast (bring money!), BBQ (bring money!). And stupidest of all, they were selling cigarettes at the beer garden. Hello!!! Real runners don't smoke! In a real run the entry fees are low (Nike's was $45), post-race food is free, it starts on time and the organizers are into sport, not turning you into a running billboard.

The ScrumMaster is responsible for maintaining the Scrum process and the overall health of the team. The ScrumMaster assures that the team is fully functional and productive. The ScrumMaster performs this role by administering the Scrum ceremonies, facilitating the organic self-organization of the team, and removing any obstacles that may be impeding the team's progress. What the ScrumMaster is not:
- The ScrumMaster is not the task master, since the team is responsible for assigning its own tasks.
- The ScrumMaster is not the supervisor of the team, since the supervisor/subordinate relationship may impede the organic self-organization of the team.
A good ScrumMaster proactively anticipates problems, opportunities for improvement, and conducts pre-planning so the team can focus on delivering its sprint commitments. The ScrumMaster also keeps the team honest regarding its commitments and helps the team identify opportunities to improve collaboration. In Scrum, when the Scrum roles are properly fulfilled there is no need for a traditional project manager to supervise the team. Nevertheless, many organizations choose to retain project managers, after they adopt Scrum, to perform functions that extend beyond the scope of the Scrum team functions.

Given the right honoree and some people talented at making humorous speeches, a roast can be an entertaining evening, making for a memorable party. Roasts are often given for retirements or to commemorate some special occasion, or they can simply honor someone for a lifetime of good work or friendship. When sending out your invitations, consider what sort of themes you might incorporate in your roast. The night's theme can provide ideas for your roast party invitations.
Classic Dino
For invitation ideas, try the classic roast style made famous by Dean Martin in the 1970s and early '80s. Use Dino's classic logo on the front of the invitation. Put a picture of the honoree in a circle with the words "Man of the Hour" circling around the photo. Plan the theme around a dinner. If you're planning on a lot of guests, rent a hall or room of a restaurant and set up the roast table at the front with the honoree just off the center, beside the podium and microphone. Speaking guests will sit at the table, taking turns giving their roast. In the invitation, list the dinner menu along with the names of the speakers.
Honor the Honoree
Start your roast party with a little fun on the invitations. Have a caricature of the honoree drawn and use that for the front of the invitations. Caricatures poke a little fun at appearances and the roast is going to poke a little fun at the person, so the two fit together nicely. You might also use a large scale of the caricature as part of the room's decor. Frame it and make it a gift for the honoree to remember the night. In the invitation, be sure to include all required party information. If the roast will be open-mic styled, with any guest having the chance to speak up, be sure to mention that so your guests can prepare in advance.
Roasts and Fire
Roasts conjure images of fire, such as the fiery pits of Hell, and for some, going through a roast can seem like a trip through Dante's Inferno. But it's all in good fun. Use this as your theme, bringing it out on the invitations with images of flames dancing around a podium. For something slightly darker in humor, use an image-editing software package and create a picture of the honoree on a spit, being roasted over flames. At the roast itself, decorate with plenty of candles. If you are using a slide show for presentations, you can always add in a fiery frame to the images with a little computer magic.

Long Beach Comic Expo – Crime Fiction Panel
Long Beach Comic Expo is hosting a crime/ mystery novel panel. The panel will be held on Sunday, March 1st at NOON.
Blood on the Keyboard: A Crime Fiction Panel
Mary McCoy, Tod Goldberg, Marc Guggenheim, Richard Lange
Join crime writers Tyler Dilts (A COLD AND BROKEN HALLELUJAH: LONG BEACH HOMICIDE) ,Tod Goldberg (GANGSTERLAND), Marc Guggenheim (OVERWATCH), Richard Lange (SWEET NOTHING) and Mary McCoy (DEAD TO ME) for a riveting panel about mystery and crime novels.
Mary McCoy:
My novel comes out two days after LBCE, so not only is this my first comic convention as a panelist, it's my first book event period. It's kind of fitting, too, because I read so many crime comics while I was thinking up Dead To Me – Criminal, 100 Bullets, Gotham Central, Tumor, Incognegro. Those books were probably as much an influence on me as The Big Sleep was.
Richard Lange:
"As a lifelong comic fan, I'm excited about appearing on my first convention panel. I'm leaving my wallet at home, though, to avoid over-shopping!"

Hurricane Fur Wizard Reviews
Hurricane Fur Wizard is a unique, oversized, and double-sided lint brush that uses a separate stand to help keep things clean and make the process easier.
About Hurricane Fur Wizard
Paired with its self-cleaning base and extra large, double sided design, the Hurricane Fur Wizard lint brush promises to help you clean twice as much in half the time.
The commercial explains that the brush works using thousands of micro bristles that grab any fuzz they come into contact with. When necessary, you'll dip the brush into its self-cleaning stand that features its own micro bristles, which will completely clean both sides in just one pass.
Then, once you've cleaned your couches, blankets, pants, pillows, and everything else, you'll quickly and easily remove the stand's base clip to empty all the collected lint and fur into the trash.
Based solely on what we learned from its website, the Hurricane Fur Wizard features a compelling concept that seems like it might help solve many of the problems associated with existing devices and tape-based lint rollers—including the need for constant refills.
But after running the math and comparing it to the competition, can you expect Fur Wizard to deliver a solid level of value? Let's start things off by discussing price.
How Much Does Hurricane Fur Wizard Cost?
Hurricane Fur Wizard will cost you $19.99, plus $7.99 S&H. For this price, you'll receive one device, one self-cleaning base, and one mini brush with base, which the company claims is perfect for quick, on-the-go clean ups.
During checkout, you'll be able to double your order for an additional $9.99 fee.
All Fur Wizards come with a 30-day money back guarantee, less S&H, as long as the product is in new or like-new condition. To request one, you can call the Bulbhead (a division of Telebrands) customer service line at 855-235-1850.
How Do Lint Brushes Like Hurricane Fur Wizard Work?
As it turns out, lint isn't an especially complex topic, as the Daily Dot tells us it's "just very small, tangled fibers from fabrics and textiles" that accumulate in our dryers and on our clothes.
And to get rid of it, some of the most common options include rollers with replaceable tape attached, as well as those that, according to WiseGeek, use "a special fabric designed to attract and hold dust and lint. This type can be brushed over fabric similarly to the way one brushes hair, although it usually only works in one direction."
In fact, when used in the opposite direction, it causes this special fabric's tiny 'fingers' to release any accumulated debris, which is certainly something you wouldn't want to do over your clothes. Presumably, this is one of the central problems Hurricane Fur Wizard might address, since its base contains the same type of fabric to help quickly remove piled up lint.
Based on this background information and what we viewed in the product's commercial and on the website, it seems this fabric is what's featured on Hurricane Fur Wizard. However, to verify, we contacted several different customer support representatives during our research, none of whom were able to tell us exactly what its 'micro bristles' were made from.
Other than the dispenser base, are there any other unique features related to the device?
Hurricane Fur Wizard vs. Other Lint Brushes & Dispensers
Did we find any lint brush models designed exactly like Fur Wizard during our research? No. Did we encounter a similar dispenser base, whether related to form or function? Again, no.
However, a quick online search or walk through the fabric care section of almost any local retailer will reveal that there are perhaps thousands of other lint brushes that use a functionally identical fabric on their heads, some of which we found priced as low as $4.
Most of these were sized between 8 and 11 inches high, and between 2 and 2.5 inches wide. When we called, none of the customer service representatives we spoke with could provide Hurricane Fur Wizard's dimensions.
Nonetheless, for just a couple dollars more, we encountered dozens of double-sided models, although the only remover/dispenser combo we came across was the Sunbeam SB30, which was priced the same as Fur Wizard (before S&H charges were accounted for).
Looking for a little more oomph in your lint removal efforts? Some battery powered models, often referred to as fabric shavers or fuzz ball removers, were available for as little as $19, which work by simply flipping a switch and allowing lint to accumulate in the attached dispenser.
Speaking of accumulation, since debris doesn't tend to fall freely from traditional brush material (not at least without brushing in a backward motion), we wondered how customers are supposed to detach the lint trapped inside Fur Wizard's base.
In the product's commercial, it's advertised to be as easy as opening the base clip and allowing the lint to fall out, although customer support personnel weren't able to provide any additional insight.
How to choose the right option for you? We'll end the article in the next section while answering this important question.
Our Final Thoughts About Hurricane Fur Wizard
For the most part, a lint brush is a lint brush.
In other words, while none of the customer support representatives we spoke with could verify and we didn't test the device ourselves, it appears that Hurricane Fur Wizard uses the same material as traditional options (although colored blue, whereas most third-party brush material is red).
Furthermore, without knowing its overall dimensions or head size, we can't be sure if Fur Wizard will allow you to de-lint more fabric in a shorter amount of time, or if it's worth the meaningfully higher price than the widespread—and often local—competition.
So, when the cloth meets the brush, we're not entirely sure it'll deliver better performance.
Granted, if you're looking for an intriguing dispenser base that features the same 'micro bristles' as the brush itself, then it appears Hurricane Fur Wizard is currently the only game in town.
If this is the case, the manufacturer seems to stand behind the device with a 30-day refund policy, although you'll lose your original $8 S&H fee, plus whatever you'll pay to send it back—which could vary widely depending on your location.
Fifteen cats
With so many cats, a lot of them are outside, still almost everything I pick up then I leave in the living room is covered in cat hair. I've been using the Fur Wizard for roughly 2 years, the same one, hasn't fallen apart, works great, gets all the hair, doesn't always get all the lint but it gets all the hair. I think the travel one is a bit of a joke, but then I had 15 cats. I like it so much I've gotten one for both my daughters and I highly recommend them.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Watch out for knock-off look-a-likes
There are several products out there that look like the Fur Wizard but fall apart or become unusable in a very short time. I ordered what I thought was the Fur Wizard but it was a competitor's product. I returned both units and reordered the genuine Fur Wizard.
We are going to buy several more and gift them to our friends that have animals.
The Fur Wizard is one of the best products for removing pet hair and animal fur. I highly recommend this product.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love my fur wizard
I use my Fur Wizard often. It works great when I need a quick fix for my couch. I would definitely recommend this product you never know when company arrives unexpectedly, or you get dressed, get in your car and bam, hair all over your pants. Grab the pocket Fur Wizard and you are ready to go.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fur wizard
The Fur Wizard, as they call it. The handle is not even glued properly. Once I tried to clean it with the holder, pulled the Wizard, and the blue handle came off. It's not even picking the fur according to the advertisement. I would not recommend this hazard.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
13 out 13 people found this review helpful
Poor quality product
After a 7-week shipping delay, the Fur Wizard arrived. It is a great concept with lint collection etc., but a very poor design and quality. I used it about 6 times and the end snapped clear off while using. The product is overpriced and is definitely not worth the money.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
9 out 13 people found this review helpful
A good buy
I have three cats and I've been using the Fur Wizard for the last 2 months. I think it's great! I use it on my clothes before leaving the house; it's fast and easy to brush myself. I don't understand the bad reviews I see, it scoops up loose pet fur really well, what else do you want it to do?
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
24 out 26 people found this review helpful
I can't get the wand out of the holder. As much as I tried, it remains stuck, and I can use only the small brush. It's faulty! I can't use it as intended, and I'm sorry I've wasted my money.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Myanmar's transition from military dictatorship to democratic rule has seen the rise and spread of violent xenophobia aimed at Myanmar's Muslim minorities, particularly the Rohingya. It seems counterintuitive, but the end of military rule has been the dawn of a new pathology of cultural violence – the attitudes and discourses that legitimate the suffering of others. The timing here is no coincidence.
During military rule, dreams of a freer, fairer, safer Myanmar inspired people to sacrifice, endure and do their bit to bring the junta down. With the dissolution of the dictatorship in early 2011 and, eventually, the 8 November 2015 landslide National League for Democracy (NLD) victory, their struggle began to come to fruition. However, a story of grit, creation, navigation, and resiliency winning out over oppression has become more widely known a cautionary tale.
Transitions are meant to be periods when societies deal with predatory pasts and forge new, better fates. As history shows, this is rarely how transitions unfold. Predatory systems die hard, as Machiavelli articulates well:
'There is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new system of things: for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old system as his enemies and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new system.'
But the ethnic cleansing underway in transitioning Myanmar is more than an old regime clinging to power.
The end of military rule in Myanmar provided space for the people of Myanmar to define their fates and, devastatingly, to redefine themselves or 'us'. Xenophobic forces captured the opening to target, attack and exclude, turning the transition into a cleansing project. In the same way that transitions are susceptible to capture from previous regimes and perpetrators, transitions may be undercut by new predatory agendas.
Kanishka Perera in a 2015 New Mandala article, Ma Ba Tha and the Vote, provides a summary of what took place, illuminating the connection between the end of military rule and the spread of communal violence:
'Established two years ago, Ma Ba Tha sprang from the now defunct 969 movement, a loose collection of monks linked to a wave of violence against the country's Muslim minority in 2012 and 2013. The 969 Movement, led by a fi rebrand Monk U Wirathu, left a trail of violence in its wake and commanded a visible increase in support from the country's Buddhist majority thanks to Myanmar's newly found freedom of expression and the lifting of media restrictions.'
Prasse-Freeman (2013) employed Rene Girard's theory of scapegoating to consider why the Muslims of Myanmar, and Rohingya in particular, have been the target. Prasse-Freeman notes that 'it is not difference that inspires communal violence, but sameness, or rather the dissolution of previously reified boundaries':
'Buddhist monks all rallied around the Rakhine. Or more accurately, rallied against the Rohingya, identifying them as illegal immigrants with not ties to the country; that as Muslims they were a threat to Buddhism; that they were harbingers of terror; that they were simply aesthetically unpleasant: "they are not like us; we cannot accept them", is a refrain I often hear from Burmese acquaintances.'
Myanmar's transition is not living up to the rhetoric espoused by those who struggled to bring an end to military rule in Myanmar. With few signs that the transition will correct course to a pursuit freer, fairer, safer Myanmar for all, there is a sense of deceit. In an attempt to make sense of how to understand the struggle to transition beyond military rule in Myanmar vis-à-vis the current ethnic cleansing, Pathways that Changed Myanmar proposes:
'Individuals all over Myanmar continue to struggle against oppression and at the same time actively support the purging of Muslims from Myanmar. This kind of contradiction is possible. When those experiencing oppression become oppressive, this does not necessarily nullify their struggle, but it certainly qualifies and tarnishes their struggle…Apathy builds around the assumption that some people and groups are fighting the good fight and that is the end of the story. There is always the possibility of an ugly side to an otherwise earnest struggle. The struggle for change in military-ruled and transitioning Myanmar is a case in point (p.205).'
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's much-awaited speech on Tuesday 19 September drew mixed reviews. Critics took aim at a 'mix of untruths and victim blaming' to quote James Gomez, the regional. As debate about the speech continued, reports began to surface accusing the Myanmar military using landmines to prevent Rohingya communities fleeing the destruction from returning. The National League for Democracy and the Tatmadaw are promoting a similar line on the issue, one that emphasizes the importance of obedience to the law and stability. Aung San Suu Kyi said during her speech:
'Human rights violations and all other acts that impair stability and harmony and undermine the rule of law will be addressed in accordance with strict laws and justice.'
Matthew Mullen lectures at the Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University, Thailand. He has written widely on the politics of Myanmar, as well as on oppression and resistance, transitional justice, structural and cultural violence, and business and human rights.

I have a few plans for February. I'm trying to keep it light, since my sewing has been so sporadic lately.
For myself, I'm sewing a few things from Burdastyle 2/2013 issue. The jumpsuit and view B of those trousers. One of them will be done from the blue floral satin, I haven't decided which one yet. I may make another T-shirt (from the same issue), since my blue one shrunk a little.
Adeline has requested a new dress. She picked a very pink floral sweatshirt fleece from my stash and then she chose between these 2 patterns (Ottobre 1/2014 and 4/2014).
I really, really tried to persuade her to choose the little hoodie dress, but she opted for the tunic. I haven't told her that it's technically not a dress. I'd like to make the hoodie dress too. If all goes well, the kids may get some new pj's too.

Project Description
To maximise customer engagement and to safeguard the integrity of their data, Sky needs to ensure that its customer database of over 1.5M records is clean, standardised, validated, geo-tagged and updated on a regular basis.
When Sky initially approached Dataconversion about this project they understood the importance to the business of having a clean and accurate database.
Without this in place they knew they would face insurmountable challenges in terms of growing existing relationships with valued customers and identifying new prospects for acquisition.
In order to overcome these challenges:
- We worked on the raw data file, cleansing and standardising the same for all future projects and applied a specific set of business rules to the data.
- We then created an automated process that imports customer records on a regular basis and links to the cleaned version of the file on unique account number. This process also updates relevant personal information as well as highlighting new or amended records for cleaning.
- These records are then cleaned using our address validation software, corrected as necessary, matched to the Geo Directory and a georeference appended to each one. Duplicate records based any a variety of criteria are also easily identifiable for Sky.
Not only has this solution improved the effectiveness of Sky's marketing campaigns, Sky now has a clean, validated and geo-tagged database of all their customers which is ready at any time for future customer engagement campaigns.
Furthermore, the process Dataconversion created enables a timely view of churn and return of customers and allows Sky to target campaigns at specific segments within their database.
Set up a meeting today to discuss how Data Conversion can help you maximise your consumer data and drive growth.

Angels in America: Then and Now
Angels in America was an unlikely candidate to become a hit play in the early 1990s: a 7-hour epic focusing mostly on the lives of five gay men (two of them closeted Republicans) and the Valium-addled Mormon woman married to one of the closeted men; "a Gay Fantasia on National Themes" including democracy, socialism, the immigrant nature of American identity, Jewish mysticism, and what Leo Tolstoy called "the American religion," Mormonism. The critic David Savran described it shortly after its Broadway success:
"Bringing together Jews and Mormons, African- and European-Americans, neoconservatives and leftists, closeted gay men and exemplars of America's new 'queer politics,' Angels attempts nothing less than the creation of a cosmic-scale history of America in the age of Reagan and the age of AIDS.… Exploring the sometimes tortuous connections between personal identity (sexual, racial, religious or gender) and political position, it dramatizes the seeming impossibility of maintaining one's private good in a world scourged by public greed, disease and hatred."
When the play was new, the millennium most people saw approaching was the year 2000, but as Hannah Pitt reminds us in Perestroika, "the capital M Millennium" has nothing to do with the accidentals of calendar system invented by a sixth-century monk trying to date Jesus' circumcision. In America, the millennium has always been approaching, whether its herald is John Winthrop in Plymouth Colony, Joseph Smith preaching a new gospel on the Western frontier in the 1830s, or today, when the internet is full of imminent apocalypses for every ideological stripe.

Have you ever had that moment where words are coming out of your mouth, before you've really thought through what you are saying? Well that is me and I did it again today.
I am well aware of the fact that I often talk too much as it is something I am very conscious of in all areas of my life. There is nothing I find more uncomfortable than when you meet someone and the conversation is limited by one word answers and filled with silence. Awkward moments that for some reason I feel the need to fill with irrelevant conversation to compensate. Pathetic really, as I'm not the one creating the awkward silence and many would find these conversations quite normal and comfortable.
Whist I am very conscious of this, in every conversation I have with someone I always try to spend more time listening to others than talking and I've found that there are a few reasons for this:
- You can learn so much from others by just listening. This maybe in a training session, during a conversation with a colleague at lunch or in a crowded office space
- It gives you the opportunity to ask more insightful questions. More quality questions can lead to better outcomes and they make others feel engaged
- You don't find yourself battling to get a word in as you fight for air time to say what you want to say
- People will respect your relationship more as they feel like you actually care about them and what they have to say
- Most people like to talk more than they listen, which is why I am convinced that if you do take the opportunity to listen to someone that they usually share their thoughts, problems, challenges and you are more likely to be able to assist them.
The next time you are having a conversation with someone, why not just try it. Listen to the other person, digest what they have to say, ask them insightful questions and let them do the talking. Once you become more aware of how much talking you actually do, you will probably see a large shift in how you build your relationships with engaging with others and how much you actually learn.
It is very easy to talk too much and speak before you've thought about what you have to say. Especially when you are anxious or in a stressful situation. Before you blurt out something that you can't take back, take a deep breath and just listen.

Douglas Hughes said Friday he plans to plead guilty to one felony charge related to his gyrocopter flight to the Capitol in April — but he is not ashamed.
The Florida man flew from Pennsylvania to the Capitol on April 15, to deliver letters to Congress pushing for a campaign finance overhaul. He was immediately arrested for breaching restricted airspace and later indicted on two felony and four misdemeanor charges. After several months of negotiations, Hughes is poised to accept a plea deal this month. "I'm proud of what I did and I'm not going to be ashamed of accepting a felony conviction," Hughes said in a phone interview with CQ Roll Call. "Somebody sent me a link to a song on YouTube, the title of which says it all. It says, 'Have You Been to Jail for Freedom?' It says it all."

Articles in NASCAR – Sprint Cup Series
By Jim Pedley | Managing Editor
An extra day of practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Thursday may have resulted in an extra day of discovery for some Sprint Cup drivers, but for Greg Biffle of Roush Fenway Racing, the test produced an extra day of frustration.
The first question directed at him in a post-session […]

It's always been tough to slot Kevin Harvick during discussions about driving talent. By the end of the 2014 Sprint Cup season – 2015 at the latest – that process will become easier.
Right now, albeit just a week into the current season, there is growing evidence that Harvick's place in […]

Kevin Harvick, fast all week in practices, was fast on race day as well as he notched a dominating win in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway.
The win was Harvick's fifth in a Cup race at PIR and first overall since leaving Richard Childress Racing at the […]

When it comes to racing machinery, there are very few inconsequential changes. Virtually all have the ability to produce or reduce speed – and, hence, finishing positions in races – depending on how teams and drivers deal with the changes.
For that reason, today's Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International […]

Turns out, there was no need to make use heart needles during the Sprint Cup Series' debut of "knockout qualifying". The new procedure was interesting but hardly the fuse-blowing fun-o-rama that some had predicted/hoped it would be.
"I don't know," driver Aric Almirola of Richard Petty Motorsports said when asked about it […]
Brad Keselowski won the first Sprint Cup pole utilizing NASCAR's "Knockout Qualifying" Friday night at Phoenix International Raceway.
His Team Penske teammate, Joey Logano, was second fastest in the segmented qualifier.
Keselowski completed a lap at 139.384 mph, breaking the record of 139.222 mph set by Jimmie Johnson before last year's Chase race in November.
"We had a […]

Speedweeks was much more than a series of races and practices driver Tony Stewart. It was also a series of tests. This week, with the Daytona 500 behind him – comfortably behind him – Stewart says that while the racing didn't go as hoped at Daytona International Speedway, the accompanying […]
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Joey Logano.
Until last season, when he made the NASCAR Chase playoff for the first time following four so-so seasons, Logano had been on the outside looking in, someone trying to knock down the door and gain entry into a small fraternity of Sprint Cup racing's elite.
To be truthful, Logano still […]

Two-time Daytona 500 champion Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Victory Tour Across America includes a stop Tuesday afternoon on behalf of Texas Motor Speedway in Austin.

Over the past several years, the Daytona 500 had truly become "NASCAR's Super Bowl". That is, more about the pomp than the circumstance.
As with the NFL's annual biggest game of the year, after which people spend more time talking about commercials and halftime shows than football, NASCAR fans have spent […]

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission spent a year and a half investigating what caused the Great Recession of 2007-2010. They interviewed more than 700 people, and last week released a book-length report purporting to be the final word on what caused the financial meltdown.
And yet many readers and reviewers come away feeling . . . unsatisfied. The final report, issued Jan. 27, cast blame far and wide, finding fault with everyone from Bill Clinton to Alan Greenspan to the CEO of Citigroup.
But never in the report's 545 pages does the commission pull together a coherent story of who caused the recession, or how. It reads instead like a laundry list of unrelated factors, including the Federal Reserve's "pivotal failure to stem the flow of toxic mortgages," and failure by major financial institutions to limit risky investments.
And because the 10-member commission divided into three factions – the panel's Democrats wrote most of the report, with a dissent from three Republicans and a dissent-from-the-dissent by Republican Peter J. Wallison – many people believe the commission's efforts to prevent a similar meltdown in the future ultimately will be wasted.
"It adds color to the fraudulent actions, regulatory missteps and Wall Street mendacity that we've long known about," Joe Nocera, a business reporter for The New York Times, wrote. "What it doesn't do, though, is propose a satisfying theory that explains why so many people did so many wrong, and wrong-headed, things in the years leading up to the financial crisis."
The three Republicans who co-wrote a dissent agreed, saying the report was "too broad. When everything is important, nothing is."
But if you go for laundry lists, here goes, with a quick summary of what the commission found to have caused the crisis:
– Lobbyists for financial institutions, who successfully pushed to deregulate the financial services industry.
– Big financial conglomerates that grew too quickly, and that reaped huge short-term profits on risky investment schemes using too much borrowed money, which threatened to kill their own companies.
– Failure by regulators including the Federal Reserve and the Securities and Exchange Commission to use their power to stop conflicts of interest, and to stop the crisis once it had begun.
– Ratings agencies including Moody's, which failed to see obvious risks in mortgage-backed securities.

Google's chief social networking rival, Facebook, uses Facebook chat for all of its own internal communication but has never managed to get the rest of the business world to adopt it.
However, Google is eyeing Google+ as a mainstream business tool, with insiders claiming that its system of sorting friends into "circles" could be adapted to meeting groups instead.
More than 27m people have signed up for Google+ since it launched in June, but the site has so far been closed to businesses on all counts.
Companies have been barred from setting up Google+ profiles for their brands, in the way that they are able to do on Facebook. Meanwhile, employees at companies that use Google Apps have been unable to use their work accounts for Google+ profiles, even though these are powered by Gmail.
However, Google is to change its position on both counts "within the next few months", and is examining ways to turn Google+ into a network businesses can use for internal communication.
Robert Whiteside, head of Google Enterprises in the UK, Ireland and Benelux, said: "It would be a very natural step. We still need to decide what we are going to do but it is something our engineers are looking at all the time. Sharing information is very important in our personal lives, and it is equally important in our business lives."

NIMBOXX Executes on VERDE – Unveils VERDE Hyper-Converged VDI Appliance
In February, VCloudNews reported NIMBOXX, an IT Infrastructure solution player that offers an appliance based Hyper-Convergence solution has acquired the VERDE enterprise virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) business from Virtual Bridges. NIMBOXX would use this acquisition to differentiate its position in the market by simplifying desktop delivery which as per the company is a leading deployment use case for hyper-converged infrastructure deployments. Well, its exciting times at NIMBOXX as the integration of the acquired technology has resulted in a new product offering which was announced this week.
The NIMBOXX VERDE VDI Appliance (VE-100) is a separate hardware appliance for VDI hosting, acting as the Compute Node in the VDI solution. The VE-100 hosts the VERDE KVM/QEMU system, and each is capable of hosting 100 VDI sessions. Additionally, one or more VE-100 appliances may be combined with the NIMBOXX AU-110 running the MeshOSTM operating system to provide shared storage and host additional server workloads. With this appliance, NIMBOXX hopes to serve customers with out of box simplicity and allowing companies to deploy and scale their virtualization infrastructure at a significantly lower cost of ownership, starting with as few as 100 VDI sessions.
"Historically, VDI has been synonymous with expensive frameworks cobbled together from multiple vendors, with disparate storage and complex deployments across hardware and software providers," said Andy Salo, vice president of product management at NIMBOXX. "The combined HCI+VDI solution from NIMBOXX is by far the easiest to use and most cost effective in the industry, with total pricing per user including all hardware, software, and hypervisors priced less than that of competitive offerings on the market.
Per NIMBOXX's press release, the appliance will start at less than $360/user and the combined HCI and VDI solution is less than half the cost of Nutanix, VMware, Citrix. Although, VCloudNews has not verified this claim, we would like to congratulate the NIMBOXX team on this release!

Exploring the Roman heritage of Nîmes
On a business trip to Montpellier a while back, I had a day off before heading back home and visited Nîmes, a small city half an hour away by train. Nîmes is known for its Roman heritage and there are some very impressive old sites to behold. Nîmes is a fairly small city in the south of France, which in the Roman era used to be situated along the Via Domitia, a road from Italy to Spain. Several sites from that time have been preserved, including the Maison Carrée (~19 BC) and the Arena (~ AD 70).
Also worth a wander are the 18th century Jardins de la Fontaine at the foot of the Tour Magne, which offers an exquisite view over the city when climbed.
The magnificent historical sites coupled with a vibrant small town vibe makes Nîmes definitely worth a detour. Enjoy!
Also of interest: other European city trip destinations.
