Into this year of the anti-hero returns Idris Elba as Detective Chief Inspector John Luther, the London cop with rage issues.
Luther is the man who, in the first scene of the first episode in season one (shown on BBC America in 2010), let a suspected serial pedophile fall seemingly to his death. The suspect lived, barely, and Luther agonized over the incident, but the stage was set. Luther has been to dark places. He'll go to many more.
Now, in the third iteration of the series, shown in four one-hour episodes this week, Luther has a series of challenges to overcome. The first is to simultaneously solve two crimes, one which is relatively straightforward and another that's clearly the start of a series of lurid killings.
The relatively straightforward crime is meant as a trap for Luther. He's being investigated by a former cop known as the Grand Inquisitor, DSU George Stark (played by David O'Hara), and by a former subordinate, DS Erin Gray (Nikki Amuka-Bird), who wants revenge.
Meantime, Luther meets a nice girl, Mary Day (Sienna Guillory), who offers Luther a chance at love and solace.
And ultimately Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) will rejoin the picture. She's the brilliant killer from season one who forms a bond with Luther and once again will be relied on to bail the troubled hero out of a jam.
Luther has learned from his traumas (and he suffers another great loss in this season). He keeps his anger from boiling over and is smart enough to find his adversaries' weaknesses. "He was willing to kill someone, practically, in the first season in order to get to the truth," Elba said during a media call last week. "By season three, I think he's managed to stabilize himself somewhat … so that he doesn't get to that place as quickly and as recklessly, so it's a massive change for him."
As in past seasons, the streets of London, wet and gray with stabs of green neon and red blood, suit this complex character like the gray overcoat and red tie he never seems to change.

Although the hotel room was pretty packed with people, the shots were still to lovely capturing the fun of the day. 🙂
Lastly, may i present you, Mr and Mrs Chong

An excerpt from a 6th grade alumni to his 6th grade teacher: "I just wanted to thank you for pushing me and my classmates as hard as you did. I recently took a math test to determine whether or not I should be placed in an advanced seventh grade class. Just yesterday, the results were received, my work was dubbed exceptional and they wish to place me in a freshman algebra class in high school! Of course I wasn't the only one to do so, but one of the few. Thank you so much for everything, you will never be forgotten."
–Brandon C.
Thank you to the staff at Noah Webster for making my child feel so comfortable. Starting school mid-year is never easy but he has really come out of his shell this year.
–Catherine N.
Our son was in Kindergarten this year and he loved it and loved the teacher & assistant teacher. He learned so much through the school year. I am very pleased to have started him at this school. To end this great school year with such a fun water day he so much enjoyed and talked about the whole day.

Fox Pushes Deadpool 2's Release Date Forward And The New Mutants' Back
20th Century Fox has announced that they're going to push Deadpool 2's release date forward and in turn will push The New Mutants' release date back.
There's a big shake-up on Fox's X-Men movie front. So 2018 was going to be a pretty big year for X-Men spinoff movies with both Deadpool 2 and The New Mutants set to hit cinemas, however, that's all going to change. We originally put both movies in our list of 50 movies we're looking forward to seeing in 2018, but we're going to have to strike one of those films from the list. Specifically, Josh Boone's The New Mutants which was originally scheduled for release on April 13th, 2018 but has now been pushed back to February 22nd, 2019. That's a whole 10 months which is a long time to push a release date back.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the thinking behind this is strictly due to a scheduling conflict between their two X-Men movies. There would have been a time in the international market where both their films would have been in cinemas and they didn't want to risk one movie losing potential profits due to the other. This is basically a play to make Deadpool 2 even more successful than it's going to be. It's also going to be releasing one week before Solo: A Star Wars Story which isn't looking like it'll make the same sort of money that the other Star Wars movies have been making.
This news comes at the same time as we learned that Gore Verbinski has left the Gambit movie which has now been pushed back to June 7th, 2019. It seems a though there's uncertainty in the ranks at Fox which is to be expected after having just been acquired by Disney. Fox's future comic book movie plans are all in a state of flux but hopefully, things will be sorted out soon and running smoothly again.
What do you make of these release date changes? Let us know in the comments below.

Annuals in Containers
Grouping annual flowers together in containers is especially beautiful because they are almost perfectly-suited for container plantings. While perennial flowers grow best in the ground, there are some perennials that do very well in containers.
Annuals are particularly well-suited for use in container plantings. They quickly fill and overflow the planters. You can also plant them in masses of a single species or in a mixture of different kinds and colors.
Planters full of annuals can be used singly or in groups. They can be mixed with houseplants brought outdoors for summer or inserted here and there in between shrubbery. Container plants can be hung from a garden fence, a low-hanging tree limb, or a porch rail. Even a small apartment balcony can be turned into a colorful garden by filling it with annuals.
Would you rather use perennials in your containers? Although not all will thrive, there are many options to choose from -- learn about them on the next page.

Published on Friday, 22 December 2017
"The majority of private vehicles will soon be electric." Such a prophecy would have seemed almost obvious when the first motor cars began to appear, but only now after over a century of petrol is it starting to become possible.
To turn the theory into practice, all the parties involved must pool their efforts. This is why Enel has joined the Platform for Electro-mobility, the European organisation for the promotion and support of national and EU policies in favour of electrical mobility.
The project has over 30 members including industrial giants like Siemens, car manufacturers committed to electrical mobility such as the Renault-Nissan group, but also international organisations like Eurelectric, the association that unites Europe's electricity companies and is currently chaired for 2017-2019 by Enel's CEO Francesco Starace.
In short, the platform is a place where interested parties can work together to develop solutions geared towards increasing the use of electric vehicles, actively offering them to decision-makers and influencers in the European Union and its member countries.
The platform's statute requires each member's commitment to allocate the resources needed to achieve the common aims. This is completely natural for us here at Enel: our commitment to electrical mobility is by no means new. To strengthen it we've launched Enel X, the new identity with which the Enel Group's Global Business Line e-Solutions is going to approach customers to offer new products and services, also in the electrical mobility sector.
We've signed numerous partnership agreements with various car manufacturers over the years, working together with them on electrical mobility projects in Europe and South America and also involving local authorities, because an adequate presence of charging infrastructures is essential for widescale dissemination. To quote Starace, "Our job is to equip our country, Italy, and the countries in which we operate, from Spain to South America, with public and private charging infrastructures that will enable the owners of electric cars to have a normal life and enjoy themselves, something which is absolutely possible when you drive an electric car".
In 2016, the number of Enel charging stations installed rose above 3,200, some public and some private. Another 200 fast-charge stations will be added with the EVA+ project, enabling drivers to "fill-up" in 20 minutes. 180 of them will be on the major motorways in Italy, and 20 in Austria: this will take electric cars beyond city limits. The first 30 infrastructures have already been installed along the main Italian motorway linking Rome and Milan.
And this is just the beginning: our new e-Mobility Revolution plan presented on the 9 of November envisages a network of 7,000 charging stations in Italy by the end of 2020, with this figure climbing to 14,000 in 2022. Meanwhile, the installation of fast-charge stations for electric buses has begun in Spain.
We have launched an innovative project in partnership with Nissan in Denmark, the UK and Germany: it's called Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and focuses on two-way charging. This type of charging not only allows a car to draw electricity from the charging infrastructure, but can also return any excess energy to the grid. In practice, the car becomes a sort of mobile battery: a very interesting solution at a time when we're looking to energy storage systems to meet the changing needs of the market and the difficulties related to inconstant production from renewable energy sources.
In 2016 Enel also became the Official Power Partner of Formula E, the first motor-racing championship reserved for electric cars. The agreement not only makes us sponsors, but suppliers of the technologies we've developed for smart grids, helping to further improve the project's efficiency and sustainability. We are thus also going to prove that motorsports can be sustainable. And above all, we're going to give electrical mobility the showcase it deserves in terms of visibility and appeal.

1. Angel the series.
As a huge lover of all things Buffy, it'd be just a complete fail if I didn't watch this at some point. I only finished Buffy recently, but it'd be great to re-watch them and watch Angel along side in the right order.
2. Pretty Little Liars.
Everyone raves about this show. I've read up and know what it's about and I think it sounds like something I'd love so, a Netflix marathon is in order. :)
3. Veronica Mars.
I watched a few of these in a very fragmented order when it was on tv originally, and I used to love it (and Monk!). After the release of the new film I purchased a box-set with every episode of the series and the film, so I can't wait to get started.
4. Heroes.
A show I've actually never seen. It totally sounds like my thing, so I bought the box set from Amazon on 'Black Friday', and I can't wait to watch. :)
5. Gossip Girl.
Another show I have never seen, although I have wanted to watch it for years! It's next on my list on Netflix.
6. Top of the Lake.
This was recommended, it's a BBC Drama, and I'd never even heard of it! I was very interested and so I bought the box set of this too. :)
7. Breaking Bad.
I started watching this on Sunday. My first impressions were that it's a little bit strange, I don't know how this will go.
8. Desperate Housewives.
I watched the last series of this when it was on TV, but I've never seen the rest. The plan is to watch them all right from the beginning. :)
9. Once Upon a Time.
I saw the first two series of this, but unfortunately in the UK, Channel 5 (where it was aired) dropped the show, and now we can't see it! I need to get hold of series three etc so I can carry on my viewing!
10. Teen Wolf.
This is another show that was dropped by the channel in the UK. It was shown on MTV and we got the first two seasons and then no more! I must find a way of viewing the rest soon!

Obesity is the most common nutritional disease of dogs and cats.
- It is an excess of body fats and is associated with many health problems.
- Obesity occurs in 20-30% of pet dogs and cats.
- It is most common in older female animals.
Is your pet overweight?
You may have thought to yourself that your pet is overweight or been told by a veterinary surgeon or nurse in the surgery. If your pet weighs over 15% more than it did as a young healthy adult, it is overweight. As a guide, if you have difficulty in feeling the ribs, then your pet has a problem. You should be just able to feel the ribs with a small amount of pressure.
Why obesity is dangerous
Overweight pets suffer more physical ailments and do not live as long as animals of average weight. Obesity often reduces a pet's enjoyment of life, its performance and the owner's enjoyment of the pet.
Health risks associated with weight gain
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Heart/respiratory disease
- Heat intolerance
- Joint disease e.g. arthritis, spinal disc problems & ruptured ligaments
- Liver disease
- Risk with surgery and anaesthesia
The reason for obesity
You must admit to yourself that the animal is overweight and realise that although there are some slight aggravating causes, the only way an animal becomes and stays overweight is because it is having TOO MUCH TO EAT ! In other words, the total daily intake of calories is more than it needs.
Many owners will not face this fact and try to persuade themselves and us that the animal is not being overfed. We often hear the same answers to our suggestions that a pet is overweight:
- "Its not what he eats"
- "She only has one meal a day"
- "We don't overfeed him"
- "Its because she hasn't had much exercise lately"
- "Its my husband/wife/mother/children - they give him extras"
- "He/she only got fat after being desexed"
All of these show that the owners are trying to persuade themselves that they are not over feeding the animal concerned. If your pet is fat, it is having too much to eat!
Exercise is the key to a healthy lifestyle: Exercise tips
- Let your pet warm up and increase exercise gradually as fitness improves. Most overweight pets are unfit so its best to begin slowly
- Try to exercise your pet with other pets
- If you can't exercise your pet, ask a family member, a friend or a dog walker to do it for you
- Join an agility club
Just the odd tidbit can add
The solution
Together with the veterinarian set a specific goal for weight reduction and estimate the time required to reach that goal. Allow 8-12 weeks to reach this "target weight". We will want to see your pet at regular intervals during and after the weight-reduction program.
Management of an overweight pet should include:
- Reducing your pets calorie intake by feeding it a low calorie high fibre food specifically formulated for reducing weight. e g. Hill's r/d and Royal Canin Obesity diets.
- Keep your pet out of the room when food is being prepared or eaten.
- Do not feed overweight pets with other pets.
- Do not feed anything other than the amount of food prescribed by the veterinarian. This includes ALL edible material taken by mouth including sweets, treats, milk etc.
- Exercise your pet regularly as directed (see exercise tips above)
- At least once a week weigh your pet and record its weight on the weight control graph available from BHVG.
Fun and games for dogs
- Fetch- throwing a ball or toy is great exercise for your dog and not too strenuous for you (never use a stick as these can splinter and cause injury to your dog).
- Hide and seek- hide a toy or some kibble and let your dog find it.
- Jogging and cycling- good for you and your dog.
- Swimming or hydrotherapy- ideal for dogs with arthritis or back problems.
Recommended exercises for your cat
Cats, particularly those with an indoor lifestyle, may not be getting sufficient exercise. Here are some ideas to boost the activity level of your cat.
- Toys- use commercial or home made cat toys to encourage active play.
- "Catch the Light" - shine a white light on the walls and let your cat play (do not use red light laser as it may damage your cat's eyes).
- "Boxing" - let your cat play in a box or paper bag.
Rewarding your pet
We all like to reward our pets. There are alternative ways to giving a reward without giving food.
- Praise and attention- give lots of cuddles and praise.
- Fun and games- play games with your pet, they love interaction with their owners.
- Walks- you know how much they enjoy these!
- Massage- a relaxing and healthy way to reward your pet.
Dietary management
Successful weight-reduction is rare if your pet is fed its regular diet. Decreasing the amount of regular food enough to produce weight loss may cause nutritional deficiencies and begging. Feed your pet a diet specifically formulated for weight reduction. There are two types of diet to choose from:
1) A Home Made Low Calorie Diet
This is a special high volume,low calorie diet you can cook and store in the freezer.
2) A Commercial Low Calorie Food
Hills r/d diet (dry or tin) and Royal Canin Obesity are very tasty foods that can be fed in quite large amounts to cats and dogs. The dogs we have had on these diets feel satisfied by it and have certainly lost weight very quickly. It contains everything your dog or cat needs in the way of vitamins and minerals etc. Hills r/d and Royal Canin Obesity are prescription diets and are only available from Veterinary Surgeons. They can be brought either by the can or by the bag.
3) Snacks
If possible, avoid giving snacks, but if your pet is used to receiving them, use limited amounts of healthy snacks like carrots or rice cakes.
Table scraps are inappropriate for pets -especially those on a weight loss programme.
Low calorie snacks
- Canine r/d dry (10 kibbles) 4kcal
- Feline r/d dry (10 kibbles) 6kcal
- 1/4 cup of carrot 17kcal
- 1/4 cup of green beans 9kcal
- 1/4 apple 12kcal
- 1/4 rice cake 9kcal
- 1/2 fat free wheat cracker 6kcal

Posted by Sentinel Prime in LS Pakistan on March 4, 2009
03/03/2009 will be remembered as the darkest day in Pakistan cricket's history. As the world watches in disbelief, some cowards sitting somewhere will be celebrating because they have achieved their objectives, at least for the short term. No international team will visit Pakistan in the forseeable future and only a miracle can save Pakistan from this mess. The irony, of course, always is that the terrorists wanted this to happen, and life is so sacred that no foreign team will be willing to risk their lives for the sake of defeating the terrorists' nefarious objectives. Does this make it an unwinnable war against terror, because no one will (perhaps rightfully) ever want to visit Pakistan following this barbaric act?
Terrorism has no religion and no borders. After the events of today as some Indians passionately rejected any possibility of an Indian hand in this atrocity, they asked what India would achieve by doing this? Someone can easily ask, what would Pakistanis or Muslims achieve by doing this? After the endless list of all terror attacks that have happened across the globe following 9/11, could patriotic Pakistanis, or Muslims risk tainting the name of their country and/or religion by engaging in these activities? At the moment most Pakistanis are simply thinking about where they will get their next meal from, and under these circumstances what possible terrorist motives could they have?
Yet Pakistan has been a breeding ground for terror. The current and previous governments disclosed venues that were being used for nurturing extremism. Somehow, people on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan are planning attacks against Pakistanis. The world has to realise that Pakistan is more a victim of terror, rather than a perpetrator of terror. Pakistan has 100,000 troops fighting the Taliban on the border; that is probably the largest army any country has spared to fight extremism. Yet, why is the global media so keen on linking Pakistanis and Muslims with terror? Terrorist attacks occur in Pakistan almost everyday, so much so that now it is considered as a part of daily life. The world asks why Pakistanis are sympathetic to terrorists. That is a completely erroneous perception. Pakistan has faced so much destruction and loss because of terror, that Pakistanis simply have discounted the possibility of Pakistanis themselves being the architects of this annhilation and destabilisation of their country. Further, whatever form terrorism takes, the causes of terrorism, like most crimes, are poverty, destitution and manipulation. The War on Terror has left thousands of people homeless in the region, and Pakistani politicians have often hinted that it is these people who take on terrorism as a lifestyle, to effect vengeance against the people who have allowed this to happen; namely, the Pakistani government and the West. So, nothwithstanding how condemnable, evil and unacceptable terrorism is, the sad truth is that the military operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan have been a cause for terror to foster in the region.
The elimination of terror remains the topmost priority nevertheless, and rightly so, as terrorism by its nature is committed against the innocent. One has to be insane to consider taking another's life, as all life is equal and sacred. Pakistan, as a society, is dividing into religious Muslims and completely liberal Muslims. There seems to be no middle ground for the practice of religion. This can be fatal for the country. It should be the utmost duty of every Pakistani citizen to do all he can to ensure religion is not being preached in extreme terms in any school, madrassah, mosque or institution. There has to be some kind of social and religious revolution. Despite the apparent futility of doing so, Pakistanis must protest against all kinds of extremism, just like how they protest against the actions of Israel, India and the USA. Pakistanis have to focus on the fact that, only the abandonment of all forces that claim to stand for Islam within Pakistan, can ensure Pakistan's survival.
Pakistanis will have to evaluate whether incidents such as the Lal Masjid fiasco should be encouraged in the country? For me, it is that incident which is the litmus test for finding out whose side a person is on- the liberals or the extremists. (Perhaps I am using the word "liberals" in the wrong sense there, as I consider myself to be a moderate Muslim and not exactly a "liberal" Muslim; I refrain from alcohol, pork, womanising, yet I don't pray regularly and I don't keep a beard or regularly attend religious gatherings etc.) I considered the actions of the Lal Masjid clerics as quite disgraceful and extreme, and although I did not support the brutal siege conducted by the Army (as I believe no one should be allowed to take anyone's life, as both soldiers and students were killed), I severely condemned the actions of the radicals. Yet, there seems to be little similarity between what the Lal Masjid clerics wanted to achieve and their methods of operation, and what the Lahore and Mumbai gunmen did- which was just plain shooting and creating chaos.
This morning I saw a news bulletin, which somehow made me feel hopeful ironically. People from across the country- Quetta, Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi were interviewed about their thoughts on this atrocity. They looked very helpless, hopeless and confused. I genuinely felt for them, as their lives are being wrecked by a nameless, faceless and cowardly enemy and they can only sit and watch their country being ravaged by these wild, heartless beasts. What I felt more sorrowful about though, was that people like those interviewees, the common people of Pakistan, are the people the whole world likes to point fingers at and declare as terrorists. Now what made me slightly hopeful, was that I saw an uncanny burning emotion on their faces. I saw people of different facial features, different accents, different body language, but they were all unanimous in declaring this as an unacceptable act. I saw that being at the brink of social destruction has brought the commonalities out in these people who belong to different religions, ethnicities and social backgrounds. For once, Pakistanis seemed united and seemed to consider national issues as more significant than petty internal political and ethnic strifes. What Pakistan needs more than everything else is a torch bearer, someone who can motivate and encourage the general population that their survival, life, pursuit of all things cherishable to Man, are not perished yet and that they are more than capable of turning around their (mis)fortunes. Pakistan needs hope, and all it takes is one man who does not care about political parties, dirty politics, corruption, ethnic supremacy, to start the bandwagon and motivate the people. Sometimes you take a fall, but you only have to look up to see how high you can really get.
That has to the silver lining in Pakistan's dark cloud. Younis Khan is not an intellectual or philosopher, but today he said something that was very simple, and yet very true and meaningful. He said that Pakistan will be able to brave the storm if all Pakistanis unite and fight against these people who are hellbent on destabilising the country. Unity, faith and discipline was the motto of the Quaid, and it is time these words are put into effect. Something's gotta give, because now Pakistan is in a desperate situation. It may be the death of international cricket in Pakistan for the forseeable future, but now Pakistanis have to make things right and become prominent in the world as ambassadors of global peace and harmony.

Pakistan again ended up conceding over 600 runs to Sri Lanka in the 1st innings. Everyone was in unison over this wicket being a supportive one for both pacers and spinners but barring Umar Gul, there was no one else who left a mark. This article aims to cover just what is lacking in the current side which is resulting in such lacklustre team performances. Pakistan scored more than Sri Lanka in the Karachi Test; however that was largely due to the efforts of a flawless triple century by Younis and a huge century by Akmal. Akmal's century however was nothing spectacular as it was achieved against a tired, directionless Sri Lankan attack consisting mainly of part timers such as Dilshan.
Danish Kaneria has been a huge disappointment for Pakistan ever since Akmal started dropping catches off his bowling. Akmal drops approximately 1-2 catches off Kaneria per Test and it seems this has done incalculable damage to Kaneria's confidence. Surely this has to be the reason, because Kaneria started with a bang in international cricket and comparisons were drawn immediately with Shane Warne. Kaneria had virtually everything in his repertoire a successful spinner needs- flight, variation, bounce, turn capacity etc, yet Kaneria has completely failed to apply any of those elements successfully to his bowling of late.His biggest problem has been that he is constantly overpitching and all 6 balls of his overs are pitched at different lines and lengths. This is usually a simple problem to remedy, but Kaneria seems to be clueless. The most important aspect of a spinner in Test cricket is control, and if control is absent, the spinner is treated like a club level bowler which is exactly what is happening with Kaneria at the moment. PCB needs to consider whether Afridi's dynamism and all round capabilities can provide what Pakistan is looking for. Although not a specialist legspinner in the Test mould, Afridi has experience and variety and he certainly can do a better job than Kaneria in the circumstances. Pakistan can also benefit from his spirited fielding, good motivational skills and aggressive batting.
Akmal dropped Samaraweera off Kaneria on the 1st day when the batsman was on 68 and he went on to score 214. This is not the first time this has happened and it certainly won't be the last. Akmal has dropped South Africans, Indians, Australians; in fact, batsmen from all teams in his under-achieving career, yet his place in the team seems to be set in stone on the pretext of some good batting performances.
Enough is enough and PCB and Younis Khan need to consider whether they want a keeper who can hold onto his catches, or they want a batsman who occasionally dominates docile bowling attacks on flat pitches? I am no Don Bradman, but Akmal's batting technique is laughable on bowling pitches. His record against good teams speaks for itself. He is not a good batsman and he is a worse keeper. Period. Players like Sarfraz Ahmed and Ali Asad who can keep better than Akmal have been hitting 100's and 50's at domestic level consistently and how are the selectors rewarding them?

UFC Fight Night 68 is set to go down in New Orleans, LA tonight with a middleweight slugfest on top. Former Pride and Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson tries to stay relevant in the UFC in a bout against fellow veteran Tim Boetsch.
Dan Henderson (30-13 MMA, 7-7 UFC). Technically speaking, this isn't really a "cut" but more a case where if he loses by knockout again or just looks downright abysmal, he could get the Chuck Liddell treatment and more or less be coerced into retirement. He still has three fights (including this one) on his deal and he plans to finish out the contract, so if he wins then you can virtually guarantee he'll fulfill what he set out to do, but if not? They won't cut him so he can go willingly be a ratings draw in Bellator, but a "forced" retirement may be in store.
Full Fight Card and Fight Results:
Tim Boetsch lost to Dan Henderson via KO round 1
Francisco Rivera vs. Alex Caceres
Shawn Jordan def. Derrick Lewis TKO (hook kick and punches) 2 0:48
Omari Akhmedov def. Brian Ebersole TKO (retirement) 1 5:00
Chris Wade def. Christos Giagos Decision (unanimous) (29-28, 29-28, 30-27) 3 5:00
Joe Proctor def. Justin Edwards Technical Submission (guillotine choke) 3 4:58
Jake Collier def. Ricardo Abreu Decision (split) (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) 3 5:00

It's been ages since I don't post anything. Sorry about that. There are two reasons which can help me to justify my absence: first, I've been very busy attending shows which have piled up in a narrow period of time: Michael Monroe, Night Demon, Title Fight, Guerrera, Johnny Winter or The Coup are some of them.
The second reason is that, since I was in my hometown earlier this month, I've recovered one of my favorite series on DVD, The Shield, and I'm completely hooked. So much, it's May 19th and I'm in the middle of season 4. I reckon if I hadn't attended to those shows I'd be finishing season 5 at least, but still I got some social life to attend.
I feel like talking about this series, created by Shawn Ryan, because it's usually regarded as minor, compared to The Sopranos and The Wire, but the plot, the dynamism and the characters are as appealing and attractive as those belonging to the others, and personally speaking, focusing on the police environment and story, I choose The Shield over The Wire without blinking.
Honestly, I'm enjoying this second viewing even more than expected.
First approach to The Shield, back in 2008, blew our minds to such extent, watching it became some sort of addiction. We watched the complete series in barely 5 weeks, and I reckon we missed part of the message, many details and the development of the characters. We were somehow infected by the intense whirl of the series. Really, we were jonesing afterwards.
This time I enjoy my own rhythm. I have no pressure and no hurry, but the truth is that the deeper you're in the mud, the more you need, so the rhythm I'm watching the series is quite fast, and the sessions are very intense. Nevertheless, whenever it's necessary I repeat a scene, to catch everything, or just for pleasure, and I'm noticing lots of details I hadn't paid attention earlier, especially regarding the characters.
For those who aren't aware of the main plot of The Shield WITHOUT SPOILING, the action takes place at a Police precint in the district of Farmington, L.A, known as The Barn, which used to be a church, but now it's filled with cops, detectives and all kind of scumbags you can imagine. Farmington is a ghetto area with a high rate population of (illegal) immigrants, Russian, Armenian, Korean, Muslim and Latin among them. Street gangs such as The Mags, Los Torrucos or The 19rs, and organized mobs threaten the security of the citizens, vulnerable to robberies, rapes, murders, guns and drugs. Crack and heroine is on every corner of every street, prostitution is constant, and the criminal rate is outrageous. Captain Aceveda aims to clean the streets and implement his strategies and methods in order to improve quality of life there, but at the same time he's surrendering to the seductive power of politics. The Strike Team, commanded by detective Vic Mackey is an obstacle for reaching his target, as cop violence, corruption and influences are words constantly related to this squad.
As a reflection of the society, even though cops are supposed to be the good side of the coin, to protect and serve, the series actually deals with this dichotomy of good vs evil, exemplified in the circumstances the characters have to go through, sometimes at their choice, and sometimes forced by them. Some of the characters moved by the standards of moral, at some point have to yield for their own survival or to protect their beloved. Some others prefer playing rough and cross the line so they can find a quicker path to stop the evil. Extreme and quick decisions are constantly taken in this series, and the only lecture the series aims to give is that no action comes without a consequence.
Then you choose your favorite characters. Some of them you have a crush on immediately: Vic and Shane on one hand, detectives Wyms and the Dutch boy, Aceveda, and officer Danni Sofer. With others, although it takes time to build their relevance, eventually you realize how important they are and how greatly they contribute to the richness of the plot. And the picture you get of them can change in a nick of time depending on their actions. I find that fantastic in a series.
7 seasons define the story of The Barn. And they're all worth it. If you haven't watched it yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. But always remember this:

Organising with cleaning tools
Cleaning is an aspect of organising a living space. This activity involves the use of cleaning tools. Yet, no matter the level of technological advancement human society has attained, some items in the home are still not automated. Cleaning tools such as brooms, mops, and brushes fall into this category. To do the work they are expected to do, there will always be the need for good brooms and brushes and proper care of them.
Always hang brooms to keep the bristles in shape. If there is no hole in the handle, simply drill a quarter inch hole, thread a nylon cord through, and tie in a knot. A handy hanging loop can be got.
Clean by dipping in hot sudsy water. Rinse and dry with a rubber band around the bristles so they can keep their form.
Sponge mops should be washed, rinsed and kept upside down to dry after each use.
Wet mops should be washed and rinsed after each use in hot sudsy water. After rinsing, shake out to separate the strings and allow to air dry upside down.
If there is no intention to shake out the mop outside, put it in a plastic or paper bag and hold the bag closed around the handle to remove the dust.

The latest meme to hit the internet is, of all things, coleslaw. The mix of cabbage, carrots, mayo and sour cream is a popular summer salad, but a Tumblr post gone viral has begun to separate the lovers from the haters.
A text post made June 6 by Tumblr user ammit420 has been identified as the first known mention of coleslaw on the blogging site, and is suspected to have started the internet debate.
Since then, the side dish has reached meme status, with members on both sides of the plate defending their position.
Things have gotten so heated that a petition to outlaw coleslaw in the U.S. has been started on change.org.
For the 'slaw supporters out there, check out this fresh take on the simple recipe. And if you're looking to find the controversial dish in Austin, La Barbecue on Sixth has a chipotle slaw to ignite your taste buds.

Wedding décor
We've taken a look at Pantones colour predictions for 2018 in order to best predict the colours that will be trending for 2018 weddings. The selection of eight groups are interestingly titled; Verdure, Resourceful, Playful, Discretion, Far-Fetched, Intricacy, Tech-nique.
Based on vegetable-inspired colours- like celery and foliage combined with berry colours, such as purple and eggshell blue. 'Symbolic of Health' the colours bring to mind nature. Bridal inspiration:
Great for whimsical brides who love nature's bounty and wish for this to be reflected in their theme.
Playing on the need for quirky out of the ordinary, the bright colour palette is light hearted- think yellows, lime and green. Bridal inspiration: For the quirky bride that wants to stand out and be remembered for bold and daring choices.
Subtle colour but elegant. Think cold tones like elderberry, Hawthorne rose and burnished lilac- the exact opposite to playful. Bridal inspiration: Perfect for the romantic bride who likes nostalgic, rosy hues.
Combining both warm and cool colours, this palette draws the eye as it allows the contrasting hues to come together to create a harmonious palette. Bridal inspiration: For the bride with a great understanding of colour theory- the artsy types who have an eye for design.
Warm and earthy tones such as Cornsilk Yellow, blending with rosy tones like Iced Coffee and Ruby Wine- a coming together of cultures. Bridal inspiration: Ideal for the travel-obsessed bride, those who have seen many cultures and would like this to reflect in their sense of style.
As the name suggested this pallette is bold and eclectic- mixing strong hues like plum, blue and blue green with fiery copper hues like Ember glow, Molten lava and bossa Nova. Bridal inspiration:
This palette would ideally suit Winter or Autumn wedding- the darker tones being much warmer in the darker winter months.
The 'new neutral' –metallics with hints of bold fresh colours- holly berry and yellow sulfur. Bridal inspiration: Trendy brides who wish to capture the 'metallics' hype.
A nod to the increasing importance of technology in our daily loves- think futuristic frosted pink, purple and turquoise. Balanced with white, these are hues that shine from within. Bridal inspiration: Perfect for the bride that likes clean cool contrasting hues, and not afraid to make a bold impact with colour.

VAT registration in Spain and related services are in high demand due to the boost in online trading. We have set up a devoted team to handle the Value Added Tax (VAT) reporting and payment to the Spanish Tax Authorities for Amazon sellers using FbA.
Our services include:
VAT registration in Spain
We do the registration by means of a Power of Attorney ("PoA"), which must be legalized and apostilled (the Hague Apostille). If the country of origin of the seller is not a member of The Hague Convention, then the document must be authenticated by the Spanish Consulate in that country. We provide the wording of the PoA which is written in two columns (Spanish / English), so that no additional translations are required. In order to be registered, a proof of existence of the seller must also be provided to the Tax Office.Once we receive the original PoA, the registration takes 2-3 days. We also apply for the EU VAT number, so that the Spanish VAT number is registered in the VIES.
While the domestic VAT number is given automatically by the Tax Authorities, the inclusion in the VIES can be delayed up to 60 days and is subject to a due diligence process by the Tax Office, to avoid fraudulent registrations. More often than not, the seller receives a letter of the Tax Office requesting additional information. In this respect, it is important to be sure of answering this letter on timely basis and to provide the Tax Office with clear explanations. Our experience is that many sellers have failed to get registered in the VIES because they did not even receive the letter (for instance, some of them gave as their Spanish registered address the one of the Amazon Fulfilment Center in Madrid). Others, simply did not understand what is required from them or assume that the tax official is aware of the FbA system. Since we have a lot of experience dealing with this matter and have a very fluent relationship with the tax officials, our clients rarely experience such pains.
VAT reporting in Spain
We prepare and submit the monthly or quarterly VAT returns and the annual summary
Our reporting is based in the Amazon VAT Transactions Report. To know more about this report, see our post about the Amazon VAT Transactions Report
To know more about the dates and process of declaration, please refer to our post VAT compliance in Spain
We also prepare and submit on monthly basis the intrastat and EU intracomunity transactions statement (form 349) reports for the Amazon sellers obliged to do so because they have exceeded the legal thresholds. The EU intracomunity statement is required for for sellers involved in cross border selling who, in the Cross Border Fulfilment Settings of the Amazon FbA configuration page, have allowed their inventory to be stored in Spain.
Handling the payment of the VAT due to the Tax Authorities
Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, the payment of taxes in Spain can only be done though a Spanish bank account, even for sellers belonging to the SEPA. Therefore, Amazon sellers must either open a bank account or use the services of a third party to make the payment.
Please refer to our post how to pay taxes in Spain to learn more about this issue.
Unfortunately, opening a bank account for non residents is becoming a nightmare due to the rules to prevent money laundering. The process to open a bank account is time consuming and stressing and for more Amazon sellers it is simply not worth the time and effort. We make the payment of the VAT easy, since our clients just send the funds due to the Tax Office to our deposit bank account, from where we deliver the money to the Tax Office, together with the Tax return.
Tax representation
Non-EU Amazon sellers are obliged to appoint a fiscal representative who is resident in Spain. The Tax Authorities will then get in touch with them for any issue arising with the payment of their taxes. although EU sellers are not obliged to appoint a fiscal representative, our experience is that in absence of such representation the liaison with the Tax Office becomes difficult. Moreover, if the Amazon seller does not appoint a fiscal representative, they would be required to apply and install an e-certificate, because otherwise they will not be able to communicate with the Tax Office at all.
See our post about how to communicate with the Tax Office in Spain
VAT advice
We provide advice and guidance to our clients about their doubts regarding their VAT issues. For instance, the tax rate applicable to certain items that they sell in Spain, if they have to charge VAT in a certain transaction etc.

With all the action that took place on the Osprey nest yesterday, we felt sure that today would follow in a similar vein, and even thought we might see one of the chicks fledge. However, as I write, all three of the Manton Bay juveniles remain nest-bound.
Today has not been a fantastic day for fledging, as there has been no wind to give the chicks a helping hand. As such, they haven't done much in the way of flapping and helicoptering today, and have spent most of the day eating fish!
33 brought in a fish quite early this morning, then he brought in another two during the course of the day. All of the chicks have had a go at eating fish by themselves, but they have also let Mum feed them too!
Here are some super photos that John Wright took yesterday of 33 bringing in the tench.
Yesterday may have been drizzly, but there was more wind, and therefore more action from the juveniles with regards to helicoptering. Here are a few great photographs by John Wright of S1 hovering high above the nest yesterday! From this perspective, you can clearly see just how high she actually is.
At the start of the season, the Ospreys had an issue with Egyptian Geese trying to steal their nest. They have this problem almost every year. Perhaps this is the reason Maya seems to hate them, or maybe she just likes chasing them for fun. Whatever the reason, she does rather enjoy chasing the geese from time to time, as these photos from John demonstrate!

12-year-old Girl Unearths Ancient Egyptian Amulet in Jerusalem
Neshama Spielman finds a pendant-shaped antique bearing the name of ruler Thutmose III.
A 12-year-old Israeli girl has discovered an ancient Egyptian amulet dating back more than 3,200 years to the days of the Pharaohs.
Neshama Spielman and her family took part in the Temple Mount Sifting Project, an initiative to sort through earth discarded from the area of the biblical temples in Jerusalem.
There she found a pendant-shaped amulet bearing the name of the Egyptian ruler Thutmose III.
More than 170,000 volunteers have participated since the project began in 2004.
The discovery comes days before Jews celebrate the holiday of Passover, marking their freedom from bondage in Egypt. Spielman said Tuesday she was excited to learn of the significance of the amulet she found.
"Celebrating Passover this year is going to be extra meaningful to me," she said.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-Campaign Study Findings
Ways to Give to SPSEF
One way SPSEF accomplishes our mission is by attracting private and philanthropic funds in order to expand educational programs that fall outside the Springdale Public Schools normal operating budget. In 2013 the Foundation partnered with Tyson Foods Inc., Truity Credit Union and Cox Communications to support the Foundation's grant program. Since that time, SPSEF has provided more than $250,000 in funding for innovative grants that impact classrooms all across the district.
SPSEF also works with donors to create scholarships that will help Springdale students attend college. The Foundation currently manages 17 individual funds that award scholarships to Springdale Public Schools graduating seniors. Since 2012, Springdale graduates have been awarded nearly $150,000 in Foundation scholarships. Interested parties may contact the Foundation for details on creating a new scholarship or transferring administration of an existing scholarship fund.
Additionally, the Foundation reaches out to individuals, businesses and organizations in the community keeping them engaged in Springdale Public Schools. Through Partners in Education, sponsored by Harps Food Stores, individuals can get involved with a school by donating their time or by providing financial and in-kind support. Additionally, the Springdale Schools Alumni Foundation allows alumni to maintain ties to Springdale Schools through fellowship, fundraising and scholarship opportunities.

Banquet Photography @gruberphoto from terry d gruber on Vimeo.
Reunions and anniversaries. Corporate events and major meetings. We use photography to distill the major moments in time that define group identity. We capture groups of all sizes using the same range of modern equipment and techniques that we use for portraiture and events.
But increasingly, clients come to us for our unique expertise in traditional 12×20 black & white banquet photography. At the turn of the 20th century, these panoramic group shots were offered by every hotel or meeting place of note, and The New York Times recently credited Gruber Photographers with "resurrecting a lost art." We've trained with one of the true masters of the medium to allow us to offer these beautifully detailed and "instant vintage" photos in the 21st century. Whether B&W or color, our newstalgic banquet photos capture every face in the crowd with stunning, perfect focus that has to be seen to be believed.

text: NIP CHI YUEN (Ma Steven), who works in the anti-smuggling camp, is determined to wipe out the Tau's Fort, which is the stronghold for salt smugglers. He pretends to be a down-and-out scholar. TAU SING SUET (Yeung Yi), daughter of the chief smuggler, sympathizes with YUEN and puts him up in the village. Later, they even become fond of each other. During an anti-smuggling operation SUET is badly hurt and has since been separated from YUEN and her family. Fortunately she is saved by WU TING HIN (Wong Ho Yin), son of salt merchant WU KIN (Kwok Fung). HIN takes her home. One day, SUET is horrified to see the dead bodies of her parent being hung on the wall of the city tower, and that the official standing on the top of the tower telling the public not to sell smuggled salt is none other than the man she misses day and night. She is heartbroken, and her love for YUEN turns into hatred that moment on.

If you've taken the time to have a close look at your financial situation and determined that your credit score, while acceptable, isn't quite where you'd like it to be, you might be wondering about ways you can go about improving it.
[Featured Products: Compare credit score, report, and monitoring plans at Credit.com]
It's usually not that difficult to turn a fair credit score into a good one, but it does take some time and attention. If your credit score is fair, it's usually because while you have some good habits overall, you may have made a few missteps here and there along the way, and it can be helpful to look closely at your old financial documents to determine exactly what they were.

For example, if you have missed just one due date on a credit card bill, even if it's just by a single day, your score might have taken a significant hit that can take months of on-time payments to mitigate. But unfortunately, a series of on-time payments is the only way to repair the damage done by a missed deadline, so you'll have to be conscientious in making up that mistake.
[Free Resource: Check your credit for free before applying for a credit card]
Another reason many consumers have average credit scores instead of good ones is that they put too much on their credit cards. The amount of your total available credit limit that you use at any given time is the second-largest factor in determining your credit score, so if you're carrying more debt than you should from one month to the next, your credit score will suffer. Fortunately, the obvious quick fix with this consideration is to simply start paying more into your outstanding balance every month so that your debt comes down more quickly. This will also have the added bonus of helping you to save money in the long-run. Experts recommend that you carry a maximum of 30 percent of your total balance if you want to max out this aspect of your score.
[Credit Check Tool: Try Credit.com's Free Credit Report Card]
Of course, you should also try avoiding opening new lines of credit if you want your score to improve, because the average age of your various accounts, in addition to whether you've applied for new accounts in the past few months, are also important factors in determining your rating.
A lot of what determines your credit score is common sense, so if your review of your finances turns up any worrying factors, working to fix them will almost certainly help.

Real-Time Particle Tracking using a Formation of UAVs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
In this paper the problem of real-time particle tracking is studied. Using sensor measurements, a formation of UAVs autonomously find the closest point with high particle density where they enter a holding pattern. After converging to the holding pattern, one UAV will remain, while the rest will go looking for other maxima. To avoid collisions between the UAVs during the mission, a controller is ...
Underactuated Waypoint Tracking of a Fixed-Wing UAV
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
In this paper a new method of performing waypoint tracking is shown for underactuated fixed-wing UAVs. The position error can be mapped onto the desired axis using a desired rotation matrix, while the velocity error can be mapped to the desired axis using a desired angular velocity. With all errors defined along one axis, the tracking problem is easily solved using only one thruster. A velocity ...
Underactuated Control of Quadrotors with Collision Avoidance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
In this paper a saturated controller is derived that solves the translational control problem for underactuated quadrotors. The controller is applied to multiple quadrotors during a formation reconfiguration where the quadrotors move from an initial position to a desired position. The null-space-based behavioral control method is a popular method for avoiding collisions between mobile agents, and ...

There's economics, and then there is Economic Man.
Don't be misled by the name: Economic Man is not the superhero we need to deliver us from a slow growing economy. Instead, Economic Man is a creation of classical economists who used the traits they assigned to him to craft theories of economics.
Harvard Magazine describes Economic Man thus:
Economic Man makes logical, rational, self-interested decisions that weigh costs against benefits and maximize value and profit to himself. Economic Man is an intelligent, analytic, selfish creature who has perfect self-regulation in pursuit of his future goals and is unswayed by bodily states and feelings.
But, notes author Craig Lambert, Economic Man has one fatal flaw: he does not exist.
10.6 Billion Objections to Economic Man
Classical and neoclassical economists who relied on the assumption of a perfectly rational, perfectly self-regulated Economic Man to develop their theories of economics therefore ran into some problems when trying to apply those theories to the real world.
Consider, for example, the gambling industry and the enormous pleasure palaces in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite the gambler having access to all of the information he could possibly need to conclude that gambling against the house is a losing proposition, more than 42 million people flocked to 'Sin City' last year and lost more than $10.6 billion to Nevada casinos including nearly $6 billion to the casinos on the famed Las Vegas Strip.
To explain why gamblers make less-than-ideal economic decisions in Vegas, or why people don't start exercising when they know they should, or why young people don't save for retirement instead of taking a European vacation, or any of the other irrational economic decisions that people make, economists developed a new branch of their discipline: behavioral economics.
The behavioral economists weren't content to describe the world or the decisions of people in that world as they should be. Instead, behavioral economists sought to describe the world as it is and account for the decisions of people as they actually were.
Considering the world as it actually is rather than as a simpler, easier to model version of reality, is one of the keys to understanding and mastering complexity. Though it is certainly easier to break down a complex system into smaller sub-systems with regular and predictable features, it won't explain much about the greater system itself.
The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts
This is not a new idea, mind you.
Aristotle argued in Metaphysics that "In the case of all things which have several parts and in which the totality is not, as it were, a mere heap, the whole is something beside the parts".
The same idea was taken up millennia later by novelist JRR Tolkien who spoke of a tapestry wherein "the picture is greater than, and not explained by, the sum of the component threads".
And every time a sportscaster reports that "a champion team is a better bet than a team of champions" they are referring the important synergies that emerge within team systems that, with knowledge of a player's ability alone, cannot be predicted.
So it's not that Economic Man is dead; he just never was.
Describing and mapping real scenarios – no matter how messy they are – allows for the capture of these synergies and this richness of complexity. Then, going a step further, by modeling and simulating systems as they really are we are able to leverage the trapped value in those systems and offer the sorts of interconnected and reliable insights into the future that an interdependent world like ours in the twenty-first century demands.
