'Allo, 'Allo! was created by David Croft, who also wrote the theme music, and Jeremy Lloyd. Lloyd and Croft wrote the first six series. The remaining series were written by Lloyd and Paul Adam. The show tells the fictitious story of Rene Artois, a café owner in a small town in Nazi occupied France, who reluctantly helps the French resistance in their various schemes, the main of which is to help hide British airmen from the Germans. At the same time, he has to hide artefacts such as famous paintings for the German soldiers who frequent his café, while trying to keep his affairs with his waitresses secret from his wife. The comedy is a combination of wordplay, farce, slapstick, and sexual innuendo. Unlike most sitcoms, the episodes build on previous ones, requiring viewers to watch the series chronologically in order to fully understand the plot. In 2004, 'Allo 'Allo came 13th in Britain's Best Sitcom. A reunion special, comprising new material, archive clips and specially recorded interviews, was broadcast on 28 April 2007 on BBC Two.

Lawmakers Call for 3% Pay Raise for Feds in 2019
Written by FEDagent on .
Even as budget disagreements from 2017 continue to linger into the new year, conversation is already turning to next year's budget, with President Trump's 2019 budget proposal expected sometime next month. In light of that expected milestone, some lawmakers are hoping to get a head-start on negotiations, calling for a 3 percent pay raise for federal employees in 2019.
The Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act, sponsored by Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), calls for a 2 percent base pay raise for federal employees in 2019, in addition to locality pay adjustments.
Both bill sponsors, as well as organizations supportive of the legislation, claimed the legislation was a step toward restoring "lost wage increases" for federal employees.
However, the bill may end up being more than a discussion piece, with Federal News Radio pointing out that, "Congress…has never passed any version of the FAIR Act, and actual federal pay raises have fallen short of the legislation's expectations every year."
Federal pay raises are theoretically based on the previous year's Employment Cost Index (ECI), with raises ostensibly no less than half a percentage point below the ECI from the prior year. But that has rarely been the case. For example, from 2011-2013, federal employees received no base pay raise, despite respective ECIs of 1.5 percent, 1.9 percent, and 2 percent during those years. Similarly, the ECIs for the past two years were 2 percent and 2.3 percent, with federal employees receiving base pay increases of 1 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively.
This point is especially notable in light of the fact that the Trump White House has openly considered a 2019 pay freeze for federal employees, making the already uphill battle even more difficult.

Really funny.
This is a nice flash submission about American football and it's much of a guy who is a American football announcer.
Good luck for the guy who is on NFL.
I'm not really interested in american football (or handegg ^^) but I still know who John Madden is (propably only becauses of the Madden NFL-video games).
Anyway, never heard or saw him on TV, so I don't know how good your parody of him is.
But I liked this flash anyway. It's very funny to see John Madden on the bottom of the screen fidgeting around like he drank a few too many coffees.
Together with the overexcited and very fast voice it works really well and made me laugh quite a bit.
I also liked how the screen filled up with lines, circles and crosses and how Madden just doesn't stop talking about this and that, without coming to the point (if he has a point that is).
{ Review Request Club }
Dodge, Tinactin, Boom!, yellow and Brett
Hey guys, Fro, Thanks for letting me watch your cool Flash.
- Creativity/Originality -
This submission is a sequel/follow-up to an older submission. It's a parody of the voice mannerisms of John Madden. It's a good idea, not a new idea, but one that you've modified well. A new creation, the origins of which came from your apparent amusement at his voice. The result is very new and brand-spanking. Tough actin' Tinactin.
- Soul -
The soul of your flash is a mocking one. But one that is mocking in fun, as in you probably watch football. The animation is simple, yet it's not about the fluency of the animation that appeals. It's your voice and its variances, and how the pictures react to what you say. I watched a few John Madden clips after this, and saw the "bootleg" one on Youtube. "Boom!"
- Entertainment -
I must say - very funny. I live in New Zealand and here American Football isn't watched that much, ESPN is a minor channel. We're more into rugby and cricket, you know, the English sports. Because we're part of the Commonwealth. But I knew the name Madden because of the game franchise that was named after him. So obviously the legend lives on. D-d-d-d-d-d-dodge.
- Professionalism -
You are a long-living member of NG, Fro, and very experienced. The art of professionalism is being able to get away with as little as possible. I think Andy Warhol said that. They did a survey who could tell his art apart from a monkey's and most got it wrong. With you, this is nowhere near a monkey's work, but you've still got away with it, and that's a piece of art. Because it's your flair that counts, not just show or detail. It's a yellow one. 'Coz it was yellow.
- Reviewer's Tilt -
I sort of liked this, actually. Very nice voice, Will/Nick. I can see you guys put a bit of effort into this. But anyway, I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for letting me watch. Brett's getting married.
- Creativity/Originality: 8/10
- Soul: 6/10
- Entertainment: 9/10
- Professionalism: 8/10
- Reviewer's Tilt: 8/10
VERDICT: Awesome
Confusing all right.
I don't really know John Madden, so I don't quite get the joke, but I can still review this. Right? Right.
It's very simple, that much I can say. There's little animation in here, except for the lines and the five-or-so pictures of Madden you've thrown together to make him look overly excited. Which he does. I guess that's what you were going for, as I'm guessing he's one of those overly enthusiastic kind of guys.
Even though I didn't really get it, I did find it somewhat funny, because I can somewhat recognize it from Norwegian commentators during whatever winter sport's on.
I did think you dragged it out a bit, maybe a bit too much of the good stuff. Could easily be shorter.
Review Request Club
Brett Favre
Every time I hear a Brett Favre joke, I'm reminded of the Arena Football League advert, where John Ellway and Jon Bon Jovi's teams tear up a casino. Some woman walks up to Ellway and says "OMG, you're Brett Favre!", so Ellway says "Yes, I am", thinking his luck is in.
After they have to work off the debt, with Ellway handing out flyers, some kid walks up and asks him if he's John Ellway "No kid, I'm Brett Favre!"
But I digress.
This piece is almost as confusing as the game of American Football to the uninitiated (me). Why do you need to take a break every 30 seconds? To listen to Madden dribbling over Brett Favre? To rewind the tape and try to find the subliminal messages?
With the way that everything gets really crowded on screen, I can only imagine that he doesn't know how to clear the telestrater. Does that really happen, or is that just poetic licence? If that's the case, why can't you clear it every now and again. Otherwise the screen starts to look a little messy (understatement of the year) and it does detract from the real issues going on.
I liked the way that you've used about 10 different images of Madden to make the exaggerated moves and BOOM, you've got a fully functional colour analyst.
[Review Request Club]
He doesn't draw exactly like that, but he finds the need to circle half of the players on the team, draw several arrows that usually overlap in a way that makes them confusing, and scribbles at the point of conflict.

The Korean movie "The Bacchus Lady" released last year is about an elderly woman who makes living by being a sex worker for old men. She meets an old man who hopes to end his life that she actually kills him. The movie is ultimately a story about aging problem such as disease, poverty and loneliness. Though it's only a movie, no one would be able to throw a stone on her.
Meanwhile, waste disposal sites in Japan are flooding with money that has no owners. According to NHK's report citing Police White Book, the amount of money that was picked up in the waste disposal sites reached 17.7 billion yen (161 million dollars) last year alone. The money was mostly stored in closets of people who died after living alone. The amount of money that was sent to state coffers because there was no one to inherit them reached 42 billion yen (382 million dollars) in 2015. This represents a serious situation that Japan's super aging society faces.
Back in 2012 in Japan, son in his 60s killed himself and lied besides his father in 90s who have been dead for six months. In the same year, a mother in her 70s died in Tokyo due to lack of care after her daughter in her 30s died of illness. The Japanese government is pushing for a "zero lonely death" project through which electricity and gas usage is checked for old people living alone while civil servants and residents are recommended to visit these homes. However, there have been limitations in stopping deaths since there are many people who tend to alienate themselves and don't want to be interfered by neighbors and governments.
Also in Korea, news are coming out of dead bodies being discovered after several months of death. Korea has the fastest aging rate in the world and single-person households take up 25.3 percent of total households as of 2012. Due to late introduction of basic pension system. the poverty rate of people aged 65 and over is sharply higher than in Japan. While there is no accurate data on lonely deaths, the number of dead people that the government managed reached 1,008 in 2014, meaning that there could be more die alone people. While the role of the government is important, neighbors' warm greetings and care is more important to prevent lonely deaths.

This is just a small part of the nation's hypocrisy when it comes to criminal justice. The Iran-Contra scandal was the peremptory actions that led to the flooding of illegal drugs into the streets and neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles. Now, thousands, if not millions of black men and women have been killed, incarcerated or adversely affected by the actions of our governmental agencies. The hypocritical thing is that one of the individuals that played a part in these scandalous activities has been named to assist in this administrations Venezula's policy. This man was convicted for his crimes under Ronald Reagan's administration (who should have been arrested as well, and was subsequently pardoned by George W Bush (who also should have been arrested). None of the people affected by the drugs was pardoned, and there is no doubt that this man should have been allowed to go on about his life without the disenfranchising felon tag being plastered on him. Herein lies just one of the problems with our nation.

Christopher Stookey, MD, is a practicing emergency physician, and he is passionate about medicine and health care. However, his other great interests are literature and writing, and he has steadily published a number of short stories and essays over the past ten years. His most recent essay, "First in My Class," appears in the book BECOMING A DOCTOR (published by W. W. Norton & Co, March 2010); the essay describes Dr. Stookey's wrenching involvement in a malpractice lawsuit when he was a new resident, fresh out of medical school. TERMINAL CARE, a medical mystery thriller, is his first novel. The book, set in San Francisco, explores the unsavory world of big-business pharmaceuticals as well as the sad and tragic world of the Alzheimer's ward at a medical research hospital. Stookey's other interests include jogging in the greenbelts near his home and surfing (he promises his next novel will feature a surfer as a main character). He lives in Laguna Beach, California with his wife and three dogs.

About Terminal Care
Phil Pescoe, the 37-year-old emergency physician at Deaconess Hospital in San Francisco, becomes alarmed by a dramatic increase in the number of deaths on the East Annex (the Alzheimer's Ward). The deaths coincide with the initiation of a new drug study on the annex where a team of neurologists have been administering "NAF"—an experimental and highly promising treatment for Alzheimer's disease—to half of the patients on the ward.
Mysteriously, the hospital pushes forward with the study even though six patients have died since the start of the trial. Pescoe teams up with Clara Wong—a brilliant internist with a troubled past—to investigate the situation. Their inquiries lead them unwittingly into the cutthroat world of big-business pharmaceuticals, where they are threatened to be swept up and lost before they have the opportunity to discover the truth behind an elaborate cover-up.
With the death count mounting, Pescoe and Wong race against time to save the patients on the ward and to stop the drug manufacturer from unleashing a dangerous new drug on the general populace.
Q: Thank you for this interview, Chris. Can you tell us what your latest book, Terminal Care, is all about?
The book is a medical thriller that centers around a new, experimental drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Doctors at a hospital in San Francisco are giving the drug, called "NAF," to patients on the Alzheimer's ward. The problem is, not long after they start administering the drug, patients on the ward start to die. The drug manufacturer says it's all just a coincidence: the patients on the ward are all old and sick to begin with, and a few deaths now and then are not unexpected. But two of the doctors at the hospital—Phil Pescoe and Clara Wong—are not so sure. They decide to investigate. Ultimately, their inquiries lead them into the cutthroat world of big-business pharmaceuticals where they discover an elaborate scheme to cover-up the truth about NAF and its deadly side effects.
Q: Can you tell us a little about your main and supporting characters?
Phil Pescoe is a 37-year-old emergency room physician. He is the book's narrator. He's a bit of what you might call a "damaged goods" character: recently divorced, in some financial trouble, lonely. But he has a good heart, and he just needs a lucky break. That "lucky break" comes along in the form of Clara Wong, a brilliant and beautiful internist at the hospital. Clara used to be a professor at the local medical school, but she quit that job when her boss asked her not to publish research results showing a certain well-known drug treatment for arthritis was ineffective. Consequently, Clara has a certain axe to grind when it comes to pharmaceutical research. Phil and Clara quickly become good—very good–friends.
Supporting characters include Juanita Obregon, the bleeding-heart, nurses' nurse; Tucker Neussbaum, the kindly, world-renowned neurologist heading the NAF study; Chester Mott, the medical resident who disdains all contact with patients; Dr. Tamara Cooley, the alluring and sensual point woman for Swan Pharmaceuticals (the drug manufacturer); Larry Bishop, the hot-tempered surgeon in charge of the hospital's "quality assurance" committee; and Hyder Ramaad, the quirky pathologist who loves junk food and opera.
Q: Do you tend to base your characters on real people or are they totally from your imagination?
All the characters are purely fictional, and, as they say, any resemblance to real persons, living or deceased, is entirely coincidental. Actually, I take that back. One, and only one, character is based on a real person. Dr. Bob Hansen is modeled after my good friend George Hansen. I put this sympathetic character in the book out of gratitude. George read the manuscript of the book from beginning to end and offered innumerable valuable comments and suggestions. Without George, this book might never have been completed. The character Bob Hansen is my way of saying "thanks" to George.
Q: Are you consciously aware of the plot before you begin a novel, or do you discover it as you write?
A mystery-thriller must, to a large extent, be plot driven. I planned out the plot, first in my head, then later in a detailed, written outline. Nevertheless, as I fleshed out the characters, I found the characters were driving the story as well. This can be dangerous when you're writing a mystery because any deviation from the original story line can lead to inconsistencies and conundrums down the road. For example, one of my characters blossomed into a considerably more evil person than I'd originally intended. Consequently, I ended up involving this character much more in the conspiracies of the book than I'd planned. This made it necessary to go back and make changes in the early chapters in order to maintain the logic and the flow of the plot.
Q: Your book is set in San Francisco. Can you tell us why you chose this city in particular?
I lived in San Francisco for four years (as a medical student) and fell in love with the city. Setting the book in San Francisco made the book more fun for me to write. I got to revisit a number of my favorite spots in the city, both mentally and literally. By literally I mean I actually went to San Francisco several times while writing the book. This way I was sure to get the details right, and it also put me in the proper frame of mind to write about the city. So, just to take one of many examples, there's a scene in the book that takes place at Greens Restaurant located on the bay at a place called Fort Mason. Greens, with great food and fantastic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, happens to be my favorite restaurant in the city. Naturally, I had to dine there a couple times in order to properly capture the flavor (so to speak) of this wonderful spot.
Q: Does the setting play a major part in the development of your story?
Absolutely. I know it sounds trite, but the setting can almost be considered one of the main characters of a book. As a result, the topography and the climate of San Francisco contributed greatly to the plot of Terminal Care. There's a ride on the BART train, a swim in the Bay, a late-night stroll along the Golden Gate Promenade, and a car chase through the famous San Francisco fog—just to name a few examples.
Q: Open the book to page 69. What is happening?
Phil Pescoe, the narrator, is at the starting line of the famous San Francisco foot race called the Bay to Breakers. This is a 12K race through the streets of San Francisco, from the SF Bay (at the Embarcadero downtown), across town, to the open Pacific Ocean at a place called Ocean Beach. Phil is an avid jogger, and he runs the race every year. The fateful event that occurs on page 69 is Phil meets Clara Wong at the race. He's quite surprised to see her there. He knows her only slightly from seeing her at the hospital, and he's always thought she was kind of a cold, book-wormy intellectual. He's stunned to see her at the race looking particularly fit and sexy in her running outfit. They part ways at the starting line, but they will meet again when Phil gets slightly injured during the race. It's the beginning of a long and beautiful relationship.
Q: Can you give us one of your best excerpts?
I think the first page or so of the book is as good an excerpt as any. Plus, I know my publisher doesn't object to my excerpting from the first chapter.
The death wasn't the unusual thing. The unusual thing was we tried to stop it. That first dying heart came on a Thursday night, a little after midnight on May 5th. I remember the date because it was Cinco de Mayo, Mexican Independence Day. There'd been celebrations all day long in San Francisco, including in The Presidio where I was working that night.
I was one of two physicians on duty in the ER at Deaconess Hospital, doing the overnight, the 6P to 6A shift. The early part of the shift had been very busy. When I arrived at six o'clock, the waiting room was bursting with patients: drunken revelers with lacerations and sprained ankles, tourists with sunburns, picnickers vomiting from food poisoning, ten members of a mariachi band with heat stroke and dehydration. We worked furiously, moving from one stretcher to the next, seeing the most critical patients first and moving on.
Then, around ten o'clock, the flow of new patients stopped—abruptly, like water from a faucet turned from on to off. That's the way things are in my business, feast or famine. By 11:00 PM, there were only four patients in the waiting room. By 11:45, I finished sewing up my last laceration: a three-inch gash on the forehead of an intoxicated coed from San Francisco State.
And, then, there was no one. The emergency department had gone from chaos to serenity.
With nothing to do, Hansen, the other physician on duty, went to catch a nap in the staff lounge. I washed up and went over to join Bill (the night nurse) at the nursing station. We sat with our feet up, drinking black coffee from Styrofoam cups, looking across the empty row of stretcher beds. Bill launched nostalgically into a pornographic tale about a buxom nurse he'd known while serving as a medic during the Gulf War. He'd just reached the climax (so to speak) of his story when, suddenly, the calm of the night was interrupted by an announcement over the intercom:
"Code Blue, East Annex, back station! Code Blue, East Annex, back station! "
"Christ," Bill said stopping short in his story. "East Annex? That's the Alzheimer's unit."
"Yeah," I said. Bill and I exchanged puzzled looks.
"Since when do they call Code Blues on the Alzheimer's unit?" Bill asked.
The announcement came again, sounding now more urgent. "Code Blue, East Annex! Code Blue, East Annex, back station!"
Damn, I thought, just when things had finally calmed down. "Code Blue." It was an urgent call for help, hospital jargon for, "Come quick, someone's trying to die." And, at that hour of the night, it was the duty of the ER doctor to come and stop the dying. Or, at least to try.
I jumped up and grabbed the "Code bag," the big, black duffle bag filled with the equipment needed to run the Code: defibrillator unit, intubation tubes, cardiac meds, syringes.
"Let's go," I said.
"But, I was just getting to the good part of my story," Bill said.
"Save it for later."
Q: Thank you so much for this interview, Chris. We wish you much success!
Delighted to do it. Thanks for the well-wishes.

Hi all, I am starting a new mailinglist with the goal to gather those interested in Debian from an academic perspective. I will be researching several aspects of Debian in the future, and I know some have done so (congrats, Biella!), or are still doing so (hi, tbm). The purpose of the list is thus to - discuss aspects of Debian related to concepts and theory from other sciences, such as socio-anthropology, psychology, management science, economics, classic computer science, some philosophy, and whatever else relates. - give those working on papers a means to seek help or pointers to existing research. - discuss theories as they are formed. - you name it... I thus invite interested parties (you don't have to actively research Debian to be interested) to sign up at http://lists.madduck.net/mailman/listinfo/academic-debian The list language is English, and other than standard Debian rules, no other policies exist. I am not sure whether the list archives should stay public, but that's something to be discussed with future members of the list. I will leave them online for now, please contact me if you have reasons to believe that should be changed. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <firstname.lastname@example.com> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?

Jenny Coupe, VP of Customer Acquisition and one of our Top 45 ABM Superheroes, explains why SOASTA decided to implement account-based marketing and why Terminus was the first ABM tool they added to their tech stack. She also explains how implementing Terminus has made their digital efforts more efficient, decreasing the sales cycle for digitally sourced deals from 95 days to 57 days. SOASTA, recently acquired by CDN services firm, Akamai, is a website performance analytics company based in Mountain View, California. They work with e-commerce companies who rely on their websites to maximize revenue by providing data analytics and software to help optimize the customer experience.
Making the Case for Account-Based Marketing with Terminus
When Jenny started at SOASTA about a year ago, the first thing she did was meet with her VP of Sales and VP of Inside Sales to discuss their target account strategy and introduce the idea of account-based marketing. Their previous demand generation efforts were heavily focused on events, which proved to be extremely expensive and unscalable. In order to deliver more pipeline and closed-won revenue with less budget, Jenny and her team decided to scale back on events and invest more in digital marketing, but in a very strategic, targeted way. To improve their digital marketing strategy, Jenny wanted to make sure they were able to address one of their biggest challenges: getting their message in front of the entire buying committee that is typically involved in their sales process. They needed to reach both IT and Marketing decision-makers with messaging that addressed the challenges and pain points each function faces – which wasn't possible with the tools they were currently using. She needed a more targeted display advertising solution.
"The reason we brought on Terminus is because we had a gap in our digital strategy," Jenny shares. "We were doing Google paid search, we were doing retargeting, but we didn't have a way to holistically cover our target accounts at scale."
Hear from Jenny firsthand in her video case study!
The ability to serve relevant messages to the right personas at only target accounts while decreasing opportunity and customer acquisition costs allowed Jenny to sell account-based marketing to the SOASTA leadership team and paved the way for Terminus to become the first step in their ABM journey.
How Terminus Fits into an Existing MarTech Stack
When Jenny first joined SOASTA, their tech stack was built around standard lead-based marketing tools. She selected Terminus as their foundational platform to get started with account-based marketing. "When I started with SOASTA about a year ago," Jenny explains, "we were basically a Salesforce and Marketo shop. I had some search marketing happening in the background, and we were doing retargeting, but I had to ask myself, 'What's the one thing I want to add to my tech stack this year?' I've only added one thing to my tech stack this year, and it's Terminus." For Jenny, the main reason she only wanted to add one tool was simple. She asked herself, "Do we have the person onboard that can do the care and feeding?" Before joining SOASTA, Jenny had previously made the mistake of adding too many tools too quickly and realized that if you don't have a well-defined strategy and goal in place and someone to devote the time and effort to use the tool to execute that strategy, it's a waste of time and money. So, why did Jenny choose Terminus as the single new piece of marketing technology she invested in this year? Jenny knew she wanted to focus more on scalable, targeted digital marketing efforts that are in line with SOASTA's ABM strategy. "By implementing Terminus and creating different campaigns to target different personas [and] vertical markets, that's just something we couldn't do before with our traditional digital strategy," she says. The Terminus platform allows Jenny to organize accounts into campaigns, reach more decision-makers, and target only best-fit accounts with digital advertising. Learn more from Jenny by listening to her recent webinar, "How to Become an ABM Superhero."
Using Terminus Throughout the Buyer's Journey
When SOASTA first implemented Terminus, they started small and expanded their efforts over time. "The beauty with Terminus," Jenny shares, "is you can set up different custom campaigns. I was able to A/B test a lot of different things, find that sweet spot, and then double down there." Jenny did several different A/B tests, including comparing ad size and formats, marketing assets, and CTAs. This helped her quickly figure out which creative and messaging were most effective so she could optimize her campaigns. She started out using Terminus solely for generating awareness in their target accounts but quickly realized there were other opportunities for Terminus to have a positive impact further down the funnel.
The Results
In addition to shortening SOASTA's sales cycles from 95 to 57 days, focusing more effort and resources into their digital strategy has really started to pay off for Jenny and her sales team. "We went from delivering 40% of closed-won, marketing-sourced business from digital to about 70%," Jenny explains. "Of that 70%, half is display advertising. This enables us to deliver more for less."
"We haven't had good reach historically around marketing to marketing function and C-level function. We're noticing that by [leveraging] Terminus for that reach, we're seeing faster acceleration with our opportunity stages."
This initial success with account-based marketing and Terminus gave Jenny the results she needed to socialize the idea throughout the company and validate that ABM really works to close more deals more quickly. She's been able to use those success metrics from Terminus to focus even more on their ABM strategy, with plans to invest more in direct mail and focused field events.

Links to seismographs and helicorders worldwide split into 4 main regions in addition to Global. (Use the link on the right to return to QVS Data if you came from there.)
Global systems
Seismographic sites offering access to virtually worldwide coverage systems.
Europe and the Middle East
All European countries, Scandinavia, the Middle East including Iran
The Americas – excl USA
Northern America, including Canada, Greenland, Central and Southern America and the Caribbean etc but excluding the US.
The United States of America
The United States of America and Hawaii
Africa, Asia and Oceania
African regions, Asia including Japan, Indonesia, Philippines etc, Australia and New Zealand and this also includes Antarctica.
Global coverage
GEOFON Live Seismograms
On this page you can load 24-hour monitor seismogram plots from various near-real-time stations of the GEOFON network. The data from these stations are normally transmitted in real-time over Internet to the GEOFON Data Centre. The GIF plot files from the current day are updated every 10 minutes.
An alternative is to use the GEOFON page I have provided here which has the names of the stations which you may find easier to use.
Live Internet Seismic Server
Helicorders from around the world as thumbnails on a single page. Each thumbnail leads to s full image.
Earthquakes from the Past 24 Hours
Seismograph stations which are transmitting their data live, via the Internet, to the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory. Click a red dot to see the heli plot for that station.
Seismic Network Operations
Something like the interactive map above, Covers the ANSS backbone and the Global Seismic Network (GSN) Stations. Click on a triangle to go to the station. On the page you arrive at there are details of: the heli-plot.
- The site: sometimes with photos
- The instrumentation: Locations, channels tc
- Plots as PDFs
- The Heli-plot
- 2 Technical tabs
- Links to other relevant areas
Bear in mind that you may not be able to get seismo plots from all the channels, and only one will be shown on these pages. See quack query below.
Center For Engineering Strong Motion Data
This does lead to small graphics of specific quakes, but also leads to the data for those quakes if you have the capabilities to deal with that. Effectively what appears to provided is a SAC-ASCII file. The QVS Data program can read these but I have not tested it on this type of file yet. I think the headers may not be the same.
Realtime Network Stations List
Stations for _REALTIME virtual network 1960/01/01 00:00:00 to 2599/12/31 23:59:59 (1873 stations). This is useful if you are searching for an active station near somewhere since all active stations are in this one list and you can use your browser 'find' facility to search.
Realtime Network Stations Map
The mapping of the above. Beware, this can take a while to download all 1873 stations even on broadband.
QUACK Web Footed Interface
This is the front page where you need to select Explore Data. Then you select your network, station and channel and if there is data click on the day you want (Julian [ordinal] days) and then click on – Webicorder of selected time series data – to see the seismogram for the day.
- Not strictly a 'Global' network as there are few outside the US of A – The NetQuakes network

Rice dumped by Railways finds way to kitchens
The poor were seen taking home bagful of dirt-filled rice, declared unfit even for animal consumption even as the authorities put the onus on the railways.
"It was the responsibility of the Railways and Food Corporation of India (FCI) the original owners of the rice, to ensure that the damaged foodstuff is destroyed properly so that it doesn`t find its way to the kitchens of the people or are consumed even by animals," a district civil supply official said adding the local administration had no role in it.
Although, people had even sold the retrieved rice at Rs 10 per kg in slum areas, District Collector Girish S N when contacted last night said he was not aware of any such developments. "I have not received any such information yet. (If found true) We will definitely stop it," Girish said.
A wagon-load of rice belonging to FCI had arrived here in December 2011 from Kesinga in Kalahandi district.
Upon examination, the quality control team of the FCI had certified that all the 1200 hundred bags of rice, weighing over 600 quintals were unfit for human consumption.
Since the FCI had indented the rice in April 2010 and had booked the railway wagon for direct transportation of the stock from Kesinga to Cuttack, it took more than 20 months for the Railways to cover the distance of 350 km. Since the foodstuff was insured, Railways paid the damage to FCI and took the responsibility to destroy the damaged foodstuff.
"The manner in which the Railways disposed of the damaged foodstuff was also outrageous, which invites stringent action against the erring officials," senior CPM leader Subash Singh.

Posted on July 10, 2012, Phil Hornshaw Voice Actor Confirms Mass Effect 3 'Leviathan' DLC
It seems more story content is coming to Mass Effect 3, according to one voice actor who says he has participated in its creation.
We first heard about the rumored DLC pack "The Leviathan of Dis" back when the Extended Cut DLC for Mass Effect 3 dropped. Hidden in the code were some clues about what would be in the DLC pack; to avoid posting a bunch of spoilers, I'll allow you to click through to that story.
Now, it seems that voice actor Anthony Skordi has confirmed to Eurogamer that the DLC exists, and that he is in it. Skorkdi's IMDb page pegs him as "Leviathen" in ME3.
Still no official confirmation from BioWare on the DLC, or when it'll be available.

Every person loves to become fashionable. Most of the people follow fashion tips to keep themselves updated on the latest trends. People irrespective of age and gender love to power themselves with fashion and become the center of attraction. Many people do not actually know the meaning of fashion. Flaunting latest trends will not make a person stylish and fashionable. It is important to first learn how to team up the clothes with the best accessories. A person can look fashionable only if they feel comfortable in what they wear. Here are some fashion tips which will help in giving a new look to create a style statement.
Choose your right attire
Finding out the best comfortable attire is essential. Every person must choose a dress that they feel goes well with their body. A dress that does not go well with the body would damage the appearance of the person. Trying to wear anything just because it is on trend doesn't make a person fashionable.
It is essential to choose the right accessories that pairs up with the apparels and clothes. Wearing wrong accessories is a big fashion faux pas. The entire look of the dress will be complete only with the right accessories on it. Trying to minimize the jewelry while wearing a grand dress will give the person an elegant look. Focusing on accessories while wearing a simple dress would give a gorgeous appearance.
Proportion of the Body
Knowing the body proportion is very important before choosing a dress. Effectively wearing a dress according to the body type will help the person to cover up the flaws in their body. Colours also play an important role here. A person on the heavier side can opt for dark colours to look slim. Dusk skinned people can go for colours that are nude and light. Wearing the same color from head to toe will give a slimmer look.
Choosing the right necklines will increase the style statements. Opting for V necks will make the necks look longer. Boat necks appeal attractive shoulders. Square necklines are commonly used by most of the people. Wearing the necklines according to their body type would enhance the appearance of a person.
Bags create their own style statement. It is preferable to choose a bag that teams up with the outfit. Considering the shape of the bag is also important.Bags are also to be carried according to the body type. People having a small frame body structure can go for a small or a black bag.
Even though Stilettos are not very comfortable they are known to be fashionable because they give the legs a stylish look. Wearing comfortable and trendy flats will also give a stylish look to the appearance. Choosing the shoes appropriate to the attire is very important.

|RIQ Yardrock Records
|July 25, 2016
Marvellous Cain
Yardrock is all about embracing the style of the reggae sound system into a jungle dancehall collective, accomplished through energy, music and entertainment. Pulling in other DJs and performers, they've taken the show on the road to Outlook, Boomtown, Kool London, Ruff Tempo and beyond.
The EP opens with the bouncing flow of Gods & Kings, which sees Cain in classic form from the start. Raging breaks and flashes of electro start things off, before touches of reggae reveal themselves. Never resting for one moment, this one is all about the energy of the rave. Soak it in, it feels good. Movement features Dan I & Kelly, and continues the vibe. Celebrating the joys of music and collective action, it's impossible not to love this one. Heavyweight bass and uplifting vocals contribute to one hell of a party tune. This is the sound of the summer, live and direct to you.
Cain's Johnny Dollar gets a killer GunMan remix next, with switching, cutting breaks and a seriously addictive b-line. Pulsing, pushing, this is a slightly different take on the RIQ sound, but one which works equally well. Essential. As is Sound Di Alarm, which includes vocals from Randy Valentine. Encapsulating everything you love about the music and the label, the track is a call to arms and a reminder of the power of jungle. Immerse yourself in the track, and make sure you Sound Di Alarm.
Call for the Regulators next, as Cain flexes out to the fullest. You'll know the sample, but Marv deals with this one in a totally new way. Don't sleep, this is the baddest. The closing cut is the majestic Hot Beer, with its rolling, punchy beats and mellow, stirring atmosphere. A perfect end to a perfect EP, Riq Yardrock and Marvellous Cain are back in effect.

It was important from Benwell Hill's point of view that they did not lose to South Northumberland and they structured their game in such a way they ensured they gained a draw.
South North, in second position, declared with 235-8 on the board, an innings which featured a fine contribution of 96 by Chris Hewison.
The first three Hill batsmen contributed only 36 runs between them but Michael Gough stood firm and was still there at the end unbeaten on 69 out of a total of 137-5.
South North will take some encouragement from the result, however, in that they gained five points more than the leaders.
Jimmy Adams wasted no time making his presence felt when he made his debut for Blaydon at Gateshead Fell.
The West Indian test star, in the country as a member of the Lashings side which next month plays at the Riverside, snapped up five wickets for only 16 runs in 13 overs leading Blaydon to a huge victory.
He was not the only Blaydon hero, though, and it was Ian Somerville who played the leading role in his team's total of 268-5 declared when he hit 23 boundaries in 159.
Ashley Thorpe was another batsman in top form for Chester-le-Street who easily saw off the challenge from Stockton. He as only a couple of runs short of a century when he ran out of partners before Allan Worthy captured five wickets for 15 runs and Quentin Hughes 4-33 as Stockton were destined to drop to the bottom of the table.
Philadelphia have lost just twice all season and Sunderland completed the double at Bunkerhill. Former Middlesex and Durham opener Michael Roseberry came out on top against his brother Andrew, who captains Phili, but it was a close call.
Michael contributed 72 to the Sunderland total of 206 and just when it appeared that the visitors would win easily, last man Ian Potter struck 33 to take the home side to within 17 runs of their target.
In the end, however, the twin attack of Adam Applegarth (5-57) and Stuart Pattison (4-45) proved decisive.
Tynemouth are second from bottom after their seven wickets defeat by Durham Academy for whom Philip Mustard David Barnes, Stuart Walker and Gary Scott all got into the 40s. Tony Lion's 69 was the best Tynemouth could produce in a total of 211-9.
Newcastle are also involved in the relegation fight after they lost by 51 runs to Norton who moved off the bottom. The Symington brothers, Durham County's Marc (43) and Craig (63), shone for Norton as did Chris Fawcett with 68.
When Newcastle faced scoring 250 they were soon in trouble before Scott Kay (75) and Willie Allan with an unbeaten 57 raised hopes only for them to be dashed by the late introduction into the attack of Peter Armstrong and Jonathan Kean who shared seven wickets.

Contact: Lauren Theodore at 212-650-4154
New York, NY; July 12, 2018 - Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of the Union for Reform Judaism, issued the statement below about the proposed "nation-state" bill before the Israeli parliament:
We vehemently oppose the 'nation-state' bill being debated in the Knesset. If passed, it will create a dangerous precedent for democracy in Israel. It is a 180 degree turn from Israel's Declaration of Independence, which enshrines freedom and democracy for all Israelis. This bill would instead upend democratic norms and create an Israel that is unequal. It is a grave threat to Israeli democracy.
It hurts the delicate balance between the Jewish majority and Arab minority, and it enthrones ultra-Orthodox Judaism at the expense of the majority of a pluralistic world Jewry.
It will make Israel an open target on the world stage for all those who seek to deny the Jewish people our right to a homeland. Our Reform Jewish Movement in Israel and North America is vocal in our opposition to this bill, and we are fighting it aggressively.
We urge Prime Minister Netanyahu to reconsider his support for this damaging legislation.
About the Union for Reform Judaism
The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) builds community at every level—from the way we collaborate with congregations, organizations, and individuals to how we make connections across North America to advance contemporary and inclusive Jewish life. Providing vision and voice to transform the way people connect to Judaism, we help congregations stay relevant and innovative, motivate more young Jews to embrace Jewish living, agitate for a more progressive society, and foster meaningful connections to Israel.
Founded in 1873, URJ has grown into the largest and most powerful force in North American Jewish life, with nearly 900 member congregations and work that inspires, connects, and educates millions of people. Our legacy, reach, leadership, and vision mean that we can unite thousands of years of tradition with a modern, evolving Judaism to strengthen Jewish communities today and for future generations.

Owing to the quite distinct topography of the city, Lausanne's first station was constructed outside its walls in 1856, amidst the vines (which back then spread out from Place Saint-François to Ouchy)!
The present building, at the heart of the city today, was built almost a century ago, inspired by Leipzig station (Germany).

L-R: Mets bullpen members Duaner Sanchez, Joe Smith, Pedro Feliciano, Aaron Heilman, and Scott Schoeneweis embrace after giving up a 5-1 lead in an eventual loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Awww, how cute.
L-R: Mets bullpen members Duaner Sanchez, Joe Smith, Pedro Feliciano, Aaron Heilman, and Scott Schoeneweis embrace after giving up a 5-1 lead in an eventual loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Awww, how cute.
I am seriously going crazy.
Beat The Mets (for the Mets fans)
Meet the Mets, beat the Mets
Step right up, defeat the Mets
It's so easy, bring a knife
Guaranteed you'll want to take your own life
Because the Mets are really choking and all
Our postseason dreams are crashing into the wall
East side, West side
Everybody's coming down
To beat the M-E-T-S Mets of New York Town
We're going down!
Sweet Fucking Christ (for the Red Sox fans)
Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know we started strong
It was the spring
The lead was wicked awhhhsum
And it's lasted so long
Yanks! Coming back!
Reaching out
You're killing me, JD Drew!
Sweet Fucking Christ (ba ba ba)
A-Rod's never played so good
I'd be surprised
To believe that his bat's wood…
Is not corked.
Look at the pen
And we see Eric Gagne
We fill Fenway with angry boos
If he gets hurt
Then we'll just shrug our shoulders
"Even Timlin's bettah than you!"
Warm pizza thrown
Reaching out
Big Papi hugging you!
Sweet Fucking Christ
This team used to look so good
We'd been inclined
To believe they always would
Sweet Fucking Christ
Will we never be that good
We've been inclined
To believe we never would
With the Mets up 3-0, I was all set to say, "It's so great having Glavine on the mound. He gives you so much stability that you're confident things will turn out fine."
With the Mets down 4-3, I was all set to say, "Well at least the bullpen looked decent tonight. Even Mota!"
With BIG FUCKING PIMP Marlon Anderson's HUGE HUGE CLUTCH three-run triple in the bottom of the ninth to put the Mets up 7-4, I was all set to reiterate my drunken dedication of love, and thought "Okay Wags, let's close this fucker out."
Um…Wags? Where are you going?!
Nice error, MVP. Goddammit, Sosa. Yet another blown lead. Yet another all-for-naught comeback. Yet another Phillies win. Yet another measly 1.5 game lead.
Silver linings (what are you serious): David Wright joined the 30-30 club. Joe Smith came back to the club and promptly hit Aaron Rowand, but managed to not allow any runs to score (wow a member of the bullpen not allowing a run? Huh.). Most importantly, the Mets don't have to play the Phillies for the rest of the regular season.
That's it.

This is a great question and one that I am sure plagues people every gift giving season. However, the purpose of true gifting is about being able to receive without any obligation required. It would be beneficial to see what your value is about receiving – just to receive without giving back. Most people have trouble receiving. When a gift is given to you, what is your first response? Does it have to do with whether you gave them a gift in return or that your gift measures up to the one that they gave you?
Guilt is something that we take on that doesn't really allow us to get to the real issue. Do you want to gift a person, whether they give you a gift or not? If you choose not to give a person a gift, consider if they are giving you the gift because they want something in return or are they just filled with joy to give to you? If they expect something in return, these are not the gift givers you want in your life and so if you don't give a gift in return, they most likely will stop giving you gifts. If they truly wanted to give a gift to you, your very act of receiving it with appreciation will be the joy that will be the gift in return.
The choice of gifting is one that should come from a caring and loving heart, not one of guilt or obligation. How creative can you get with your gifting and receiving? Make it a season of joy and celebration, not stress over whether to give or not. Follow your heart.

Look at me, sneakily sliding in a blog post on a Thursday afternoon!
Probably no one will see it, but I really had to post this. I've let too much time go by already!
Anyone who has spent much time around my blog knows that I am full of ideas and hare-brained schemes and always busy with about 47 more things than I actually have time for because there are just always so many interesting things to do!
This would work out fine if I was one of those hyper-organized types, but alas, I am not.
In my case, creativity comes with chaos 🙂
And although I can generally pretty much manage the chaos, occasionally things (and when I say things I mean my horrifying email inbox) get the better of me, and something slips through the cracks.
I was going through said horrifying inbox and discovered these lovely gems in the cracks!
In the past month or so, I was very kindly nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award by Rachel Tey over at Reading Rachel, Dayne Sislen at Dayne Sislen Designs, and Linda Eve Diamond at The Beauty Of The Picture Book! Imagine that! ME! A Very Inspiring Blogger!
I am so touched! And I thank you all so much! It means a great deal to me that you would bestow such an award on me.
One of the nicest things is that these lovely people have been reading (and apparently enjoying) my blog very quietly in the background and I didn't even know it! Now I've had the opportunity to meet 3 bloggers I didn't know before 🙂
Of course as always with these awards there are all kinds of rules. I'm supposed to tell 7 facts, and nominate 15 more bloggers, and you all know how I feel about that: I can never think of 7 interesting things to say, and I never like to single out just 15 of the many, many bloggers I know and love because I feel like everyone deserves the award. So if you want it, please help yourself and know that I find you all Very Inspiring!
As for the 7 facts, hmmm….
How about some current stuff? I don't promise to be interesting 🙂
1. I am currently reading Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George. It is good, but very long, and I never have enough time to read, so it's taking me a while to get through. Next on my list is First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen.
2. My brother gave me a year of Audible for Christmas (awesome present!!!), and the first book I listened to in the car (no trouble finding time for THAT because I am ALWAYS in the car!) was The Baker's Daughter by Sarah McCoy which I loved and highly recommend. I especially loved the narrator because she did all the voices and accents so well. If I'd read the book to myself, I would have gotten the names of all those German baked goods completely wrong! 🙂
3. I recently discovered that I like avocados – not necessarily plain, but in stuff. Who knew?
4. I should never be put in charge of taking care of house plants. They are way too quiet and fail to tell me when they need attention… which spells their imminent demise. (And yes, this is unfortunately current. There's some kind of plant with pink flowers next to the kitchen table which is not looking at all well. But since it happened to catch my eye, I did just water it. Maybe I have brought it back from the brink. There's always hope :))
5. The most recent movie I watched was Non-Stop starring Liam Neeson. On DVD of course because it's probably ancient by now. I literally cannot remember the last time I went to a movie. It may have been July when I saw The 100 Foot Journey, which I really liked.
6. I haven't written a new manuscript I like enough to call finished in way too long.
7. I am ready for Spring. Right now. Today! Maybe because the temperature is dropping steadily and is expected to be between -5 and -10 by tonight 🙂
7.5 Because I just thought of this… 🙂 I've got a couple of ideas in the works which I'm hoping to share with you all soon… maybe by the end of February? But one never knows… 🙂
Many, many thanks to Rachel, Dayne, and Linda for the awards, and to all of you who show up and read faithfully, whether you comment or not. Knowing you're out there reading makes it all worth while and I appreciate each and every one of you!
Have a happy rest of Thursday, and if you live in my neck of the woods, STAY WARM! 🙂

So why can't I stop listening to Gold Digger? Would Kanye West have even been on my radar if he hadn't made the most important political statement of the 21st century? Probably not. But he did, and in doing so earned a permanent soft spot in my heart. And his album is very good. Yes, this is a past-due assertion, but its truancy is not for lack of truth. The album is good.

Hi everybody! Another redbook shoutout. This time to Christian. Christian, loved your killer, one page graphic novel, starts with Raines blowing up, Miss Parker wondering why the heck he won't die… but what I love is the details: the books behind him on the shelf, you've have Dracula right next to the Holy Bible and what's sitting there on the counter but a picture of AB negative blood. How brilliant is that? Great work! And I'm not saying that Raines is a vampire, but let's face it, his family tree didn't grow too far away from Transylvania, I guarantee you that. Thanks again man. Be well everybody! Talk to you next time.
