I've traveled a large part of the world but I have never been to Europe. So when the queen and I started planning for a trip to France and Italy in 2015, I got really excited. I knew that apart from spending a substantial amount of money for the trip, I also had to take an extended amount of time from work. So - it required a lot of planning - so we don't spend a fortune for the vacation - and to ensure that we maximize the trip - with the limited time I can take off from work.
Going to Europe - if you're a Filipino citizen can be tricky. First - you need to get a visa. Like most visa applications, we needed to compile documentation to demonstrate that a) we don't have any intention of illegally staying in Europe b) that we have the money to support our trip c) that we have a place to stay when we get there. Documentations come in the form of bank statements, certification from my employee that I'm actually employed, pre-booked hotels etc. With all of that documentation - you may even end up denied or - like in our case - we were given a very limited window for the trip.
But even through all the visa hassle - we were actually able to plan this trip without a hitch.
For this trip, there were things that I wanted to accomplish: a) See the Louvre and go inside the Louvre b) Go to Florence and the region of Tuscany c) go to Provencal France d) visit Venice. We didn't get to see Venice - and we substituted Rome for it. I'm glad we did because Rome was a really wonderful experience.
It had been a couple of days since we got back to the Philippines and I still have a European hangover. I actually created a slide show video of the photos that I really liked. I'm sharing the video with you. If you see me in the photo - the queen is the photographer. If you don't, I'm the photographer. I used a point and shoot for my pictures - with post processing via the iOS apps called Enlight and Facetune ( they have the same makers ).
This is an 18 minute video. I don't expect you to watch all of it. However - I watch this video over and over again. It gives me really good vibes when I do. Needless to say I think that this is the greatest vacation ever.

Think back to when the electioneering actully started maybe 2 years ago and then think………Obama, Clinton, McCain, Edwards and all and sundry. Between them they have raised millions of dollars in this fight to get to the White House, just imagine all the good that could have been done with that money, money that has been given by rich and famous people who hope for special favours somewhere down the track. TV companies are the main beneficiaries along with the newspapers etc. They should be ashamed of themselves for spending all that dough on themselves and their hangers on. Money they could have been spent on schools, hospitals and the needy. They have the cheek to say they want to eliminate poverty, well that money would have gone along way to solve some of it coming up to christmas for a lot of needy people. Just cements my view, polititians are the scum of this earth.
Month October 2008
U.S. Election…………..Wall Street
Now all the debates are over and confusion still reigns supreme there are still doubfuls and hopefulls that dont know who to vote for. How could they most of the the time leading up to this election has been spent trying to nail the vice presidential nominees to the cross. Foreign policy is a big issue and who knows the most about it. Meanwhile Wall St is at rock bottom (Americas new Skid Row) and argueing who is going to do what with their share of the hand out. But Sarah Palins comment that she can see Russia from Alaska is far more important in the media than the price of food gas and mortgages etc. So who is the shining star thats going to put everything right my thoughts are neither of them. Whoever wins this election is heading into a political minefield and capitol hill is going to be a battleground for polititians that let this all happen. Also is everyone convinced that th true losses on Wall Street have been disclosed or are there more to come, other banks waiting on the sidelnes ready disclose losses and get another hadout? Who knows I personally think there are. The statements of losses and the acceptances of it by the government and the eventual payout to the same people who lost it was too cut and dried for my liking. So with the world waiting to see who is going to be in charge of the US in the next 4 years lets hope the new president or superman which he is going to have to be really knows what he needs to do and knows more than the debates have shown
U.S. Turmoil
Hers and extract from the Business Spectator………………..
Getting what it deserves
TOP News
When a country elects bad politicians it deserves a recession. It's the only way to knock some sense into its constituents. That's the current situation in the US, but unfortunately the whole world will suffer
Let me illustrate this with two sickening examples. One of the deepest causes of division in Congress is that fact that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been big contributors to the Democratic Party, and particularly Barrack Obama who chose their key executives to advise him on mortgages.
A few years ago Republicans in Congress discovered major problems in the structures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and demanded proper regulation. The Democrats, given their close monetary and other ties with the mortgage insurers, rejected the demands.
The Republicans were absolutely right – strong opposition from the Democrats was a big factor in determining the need to bail out the two mortgage insurers. It has left a very nasty taste in everyone's mouth. John McCain has run television commercials on the subject but his voice on this matter has been washed out by the noise surrounding the bail out.
But one of the most bizarre events that has ever happened in a democratically elected parliament anywhere in the world is taking place right now in the US.
While Congress is debating a make-or-break decision for the US, they find the need to add on a series of crazy pork barrel amendments that have nothing to do with the bailout crisis. In other words, votes are being secured on the basis of support for pet causes that have nothing to do with the bailout.
There are a number of these causes, but Lisa Zagaroli of McClatchy Newspapers describes the silliest – a tax break for NASCAR racetracks and other motor-sports facilities.
She says: "The Senate-passed bill includes an array of so-called 'tax extenders'. One extends for two years a tax policy that had been allowed to expire in December that lets motor sports facilities be treated the same as amusement parks and other entertainment complexes for tax purposes.
"That break allowed them to write off their capital investments over a seven-year period. The motor sports industry feared that without a specific legal clarification, motor sports facilities would be required to depreciate their capital over 15 years or longer because of a recent Internal Revenue Service inquiry into the matter. That would make repaved tracks and new concession stands more expensive in the short term," Zagaroli writes.
She reveals that the bill to extend the tax treatment has been proposed by two House of Representative members who opposed the bailout in last week's bill.
It reminds me of the Roman Empire.
3rd October 2008 tonight the big debate Sarah Palin V Joe Biden main topic appeas to be foreign policy. Very Interesting. Lets not forget that this about being Vice President and if youre capable to handle the job of president should the president Kark it.
Lets have a look at the current situation or how it has been for the past eight fours. The Vice President is and has been Dick Cheney, thats just in case you have never heard of him. Did he or has he ever had a foreign policy, does anyone know what it is or was? Australian troops have been fighting side by side with US forces in Afganistan and Iraq, does Cheney know where Australia is? I doubt it very much. Outside of the U.S. Dick Cheney is a nobody but everybody and his/her dog knows Condelessa Rice shes the front person and seems tireless in her movements around the world trying to bring people together. So whats all this foreign policy bullshit, Obama knows no more than Palin or Biden. Congress will create the policy thats to be carried out regardless of any thoughts Obama, McCain, Palin or Biden may have. The Polidiots will create the policy and somebody like Ms Rice will go around the world spruking it and try and do what they hope can be done. On the other matter Vice President becoming President if something awful occurs are you the American people telling me you endorsed Dick Cheney because you thought he could govern your country as president. Get outer here youre f…..king kiding me, so when is someone gonna stand up and tell the truth and have the guts to say we dont want Palin because she is a FEMALE and Obama didnt have the brains to select Hilary Clinton as his running mate. Obama is a showman and right now the polidiots are turning the USA into a circus so he might just feel at home in the White House…… Sorry folks but thats my opinion.

|Scientific classification
Hymenoptera (Hi-men-op-tura) is one of the largest orders of insects, comprising the ants, bees, wasps, and sawflies, among others. There are at least 100,000 described species of hymenopterans, placed into the two suborders of Apocrita (bees, wasps, and ants) and Symphyta (saw flies and wood wasps) (Gzimek et al. 2004). They are found worldwide.
While advancing their own survival, reproduction, and maintenance, hymenopterans also provide important values to the ecosystem and to human beings. Bees, in particular, are noted for their importance as pollinators of flowering plants, which is significant both ecologically and for agriculture. Many hymenopterans are important parasites or predators of agricultural pests, and some even serve as food. Honey and beeswax are important commercial products of hymenopterans. Although some can be pests, and even dangerous to those sensitive to the venomous sting, in general, hymenopterans also add to the diversity in nature and, thus, to human enjoyment.
Hymenopterans are a biologically diverse group of insects, ranging in size from the minute (0.15 millimeters or 0.006 inches) to large (120mm or 4.72 inches) and from slender to robust (Gzimek et al. 2004).
As arthropods, hymenopterans have jointed appendages, an exoskeleton (hard, external covering), segmented body, ventral nervous system, digestive system, open circulatory system, and specialized sensory receptors. The term "jointed appendages" refers to both legs and antennae.
As insects, hymenopterans have three pairs of jointed legs; an abdomen that is divided into 11 segments and lacks any legs or wings; and a body separated into three parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), with one pair of antennae on the head. As true insects, they also are distinguished from all other arthropods in part by having ectognathous, or exposed, mouth parts.
In hymenopterans, the mouthparts may be of a type used for biting, chewing, or sucking . Adult hymenopterans typically have two pairs of wings with reduced venation, with venation most complete in species belonging to the suborder Symphyta and most reduced in small species of the suborder Aprocrita (Grzimek et al. 2004). The hind pair characteristically is smaller than the front pair. Some hymenopterans, such as ants, have a wingless worker caste. The name hymenoptera refers to the membranous wings of the insects, and is derived from the Ancient Greek ὑμήν (humẽn), meaning "membrane," and πτερόν (pteron), meaning "wing." The hindwings are connected to the forewings by a series of hooks called hamuli.
Hymenopterans have compound eyes, which tend to be large and convergent dorsally, and the antennae are long, multisegmented, and covered with sense organs (Grzimek et al. 2004). Females have an ovipositor—an organ used for laying eggs—that in some species has been modified for stinging, sawing, or piercing. In some ants, bees, and wasps the ovipositor does not have an egg-laying function, but a defense function. In sawflies, females use the ovipositor to cut into plants where they lay their eggs. A few species of sawflies have long, thin ovipositors used to drill holes deep into wood.
In species belonging to Aprocrita (wasps, bees, and ants), the first abdominal segment is firmly attached to the metathorax and usually separated by a narrow waist (petiole) (Grzimek et al. 2004). Sawflies (suborder Symphyta) are distinguishable from most other Hymenoptera by the broad connection between the abdomen and the thorax.
Hymenopterans are holometabolus insects, meaning they undergo complete metamorphosis in which the larvae differ markedly from the adults. Insects that undergo holometabolism pass through a larval stage, then enter an inactive state called pupa, and finally emerge as adults (imago).
The fossil record for Hymenoptera dates to the Triassic (245 to 210 million years ago) (Grzimek et al. 2004), with the oldest fossils belonging to the family Xyelidae. Social hymenopterans appeared during the Cretaceous.
Hymenopterans are found worldwide, but are more abundant and diverse in tropical and temperate regions.
Hymenopterans include both free-living and parasitic species. The larva of many insects of Apocrita are parasitoids that are parasites in the immature stages of other animals, but the adults are free living. The adults of these species lay their eggs in, or on, the host animal to develop. Many other species of Apocrita are stinging forms that lay their eggs in nests provided with food. In Symphyta, the larva are almost exclusively phytophagous (eating plant matter).
Hymenopterans may be solitary or may live in various types of communities. In some species, groups of cohabiting females may be sisters, and if there is a division of labor within the group, then they are considered semisocial. The most advanced of the social communities are eusocial colonies. In these, in addition to a division of labor, the group consists of a mother and her daughters. Such eusocial colonies can be primitively social or highly social. If the castes are purely behavioral alternatives, the system is considered "primitively eusocial," and if the castes are morphologically discrete, then the system is "highly eusocial." Paper wasps are hymenopterans that exhibit primative eusociality. Highly eusocial hymenopterans include the ants, many bees (such as honeybees), and some wasps.
Among the hymenopterans, sex is determined by the number of chromosomes the individual receives. Fertilized eggs get two sets of chromosomes, and so develop into diploid females; unfertilized eggs only receive one set, and so develop into haploid males. This phenomenon is called haplodiploidy.
Note, however, that the actual genetic mechanisms of haplodiploid sex determination are more complex than simple chromosome number. In many Hymenoptera, sex is actually determined by a single gene locus with many alleles. In these species, haploids are male and diploids heterozygous at the sex locus are female, but occasionally a diploid will be homozygous at the sex locus and develop as a male instead. This is especially likely to occur in an individual whose parents were siblings or other close relatives. Diploid males are known to be produced by inbreeding in many ant, bee, and wasp species.
The consequence of haplodiploidy is that females on average actually have more genes in common with their sisters than they do with their own daughters. Because of this, cooperation among kindred may be unusually advantageous, and has been hypothesized to account for the high incidence of eusociality in this order.
The suborder Symphyta includes the sawflies, horntails, and parasitic wood wasps. The group appears to be paraphyletic, as it is often believed that the family Orussidae may be the group from which the Apocrita arose. They have an unconstricted junction between the thorax and abdomen, and the larvae of free-living forms are herbivorous, have legs, prolegs (on every segment, unlike Lepidoptera), and ocelli.
The wasps, bees, and ants together make up the suborder Apocrita, characterized by a constriction between the first and second abdominal segments called a wasp-waist (petiole), also involving the fusion of the first abdominal segment to the thorax. Also, the larvae of all Apocrita do not have legs, prolegs, or ocelli.
Commonly, Parasitica is the term used for four superfamilies of Aprocrita—Ichneumonoidea, Chalcidoidea, Cynipoidea, and Proctotrupoidea—while the remaining superfamilies are called Aculeata (Grzimek et al. 2004). The Parasitica tend to be parasites of other insects while the Aculeata are stinging forms, although some Parasitca are phytophagous and some Aculeata are parasites (Grzimek et al. 2004). With the exception of the phytophagous species of Parasitica, these hymenopterans lay their eggs on, or in, animal hosts (insect, spider), while species of Aculeata used nests provided with food (Gzimek et al. 2004).
Hymenopterans are very significant to humans. Grzimek et al. (2004) note that "Hymenoptera probably is the most beneficial order of insects." Almost all extant species of bees subsist on nectar and pollen, and as such are very important pollinators. Indeed, bees are the major type of pollinators in ecosystems that contain flowering plants. As such, bees are extremely important as pollinators in agriculture. It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of this accomplished by bees. In addition, honeybees are important for production of honey, and beeswax is used commercially to produce candles, polishes, sealing wax, and in various other products, such as hand creams and lipsticks (Grzimek et al. 2004). Many hymenopterans also are important because they are parasitic or predatory on other arthropods and are thus useful for biological control of insect pests (Grzimek et al. 2004). Some hymenopterans (such as ants) serve as food, being edible in all stages of growth, with boiling tending to break down the poison and soften the stinger (Grzimek et al. 2004).
On the other hand, a number of hymenopterans can be pests and even dangerous. Bees and wasps can inject venom into people, and those sensitive to the stings can go into anaphylactic shock, perhaps leading to death or disability (Grzimek et al. 2004). Some hymenopterans, such as larva of particular species of sawflies, can damage trees. Ants, likewise, can be pests.

She's in Bangkok staying with one of her friends. They went out last evening and visited the funeral site for the King. She says it's pretty impressive. It started raining, and they ducked into 7-11 to get some rain ponchos. She will rest today, and they they are heading for some resort in the south of Thailand for a few days.
The house seems really quiet. It would always be this quiet on Monday evening because she normally works until about 9:30, but it feels different today. Even the cats feel it, because they are laying low this evening.
I have a free day at work tomorrow until noon, and will use it to get caught up on my upcoming lectures. Next up is breast cancer, then emergency nursing, and then comes the kidney lectures. I'm pretty well caught up with everything else. It's been a good semester so far.

The first budget of the 'consensus government' passed a short while ago at the Second Reading, with a two thirds majority in Parliament.
There were 159 votes in favour and only 52 against. 13 MPs were absent, including Ex- President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
As expected, the United National Party (UNP) Parliamentarians and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Parliamentarians supporting the government voted for the budget. The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) and Opposition MP Lakshman Seneviratne also supported the budget. Meanwhile, Arumugam Thondaman and Douglas Devananda also supported the budget.
The United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) MPs in opposition and the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) decided to oppose the budget.

Onion bhajis make a great snack or starter for an Indian meal. I decided to make these after going out for an Indian meal in Birmingham this week. They're easy to make and much better than shop bought ones.
This will make about 20 bhajis
So what do you need?
- 4-5 medium-sized onions (about 800g of onions)
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 tsp. grated ginger
- 2 tsp. cumin seeds
- 1 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1 tsp. chilli powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- a sprig of curry leaves (optional)
- a small munch of coriander
- a lemon / lime
- 300g gram flour
- 150ml water
- vegetable oil for frying
So what do you do?
Start by peeling and finely slicing the onions. I cut the onions in half and then slice them finely and then separate the pieces and put them in a large mixing bowl. Then crush the cumin seeds in a mortar a little and add them, next crush the garlic with the salt and add it. Then chop up the curry leaves and a handful of coriander and add them along with the other dry spices and mix everything together. Then add the gram flour and the bicarbonate of soda and cover the onions in the flour. Next add a squeeze of lemon juice, about a tablespoon, and add most of the water. Mix everything together. you want a thick batter that covers all the onions so be careful not to add too much water and make it sloppy so add water until you get it right.
Leave to stand while you heat up some oil in a frying pan or wok. The oil should be at least a centimeter deep. When the oil is hot use a tablespoon to spoon dollops of the onion mixture into the frying pan, making sure you leave some space between each bhaji. Fry for a minute or two until golden brown and then turn over. Once cooked on both sides drain off any excess oil and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the bhajis. Serve with a pickle or chutney.

Solution Preview
(1) A contrast of verbal and visual imagery
Studies are presented to suggest that mental representations may take one of three forms: (a) propositions, (b) mental models, or (c) images (Johnson-Laird, 1983 as cited in Sternberg, 2006). Propositions are abstract representations of meaning that are expressed verbally. By comparison, images are much more specific representations, and based on perceptual features of particular objects, and/or styles. In an explanation provided by Sternberg, visual imagery refers to the use of images that represent characteristics such as color and shape. Thus, the differences is in representation. Based on the literature, the debate on mental representations has primarily focused on the functional anatomy of visual imagery associated with mental images (Mellet, Tzourio-Mazoyer, Bricogne, Mazoyer, Kosslyn, & Denis, 2000).
For example, one study addressed the controversy regarding activation of the primary visual area based on visual imagery and cerebral blood flow. Tasks were undertaken that required high-resolution visual mental imagery. Secondly, they investigated whether verbal descriptions affected visual mechanisms during imagery in the same way as visual stimuli. For instance, subjects read memorized 3D scenes that had been either visually presented, or were based on verbal ...

Viking Energy PSV to stay with Statoil for another year
Norwegian oil major Statoil has declared a one-year option for one of Eidesvik's platform supply vessels.
Eidesvik said on Monday that Statoil exercised a one-year option for Viking Energy. The extension is set to begin in April this year.
According to the company, the extension is in direct continuation of the current contract.
Eidesvik added that the vessel would be prepared for shore power, and equipment for better fuel consumption measurement would be installed.
The previous deal for the vessel was also an extension from November 2015. The extension was for two years, starting April 2016. Under the extension, the contract got a further one-year option.
The Viking Energy was built by the Kleven Verft shipyard in Ulsteinvik, Norway. The vessel is 95 meters long and 20.4 wide and can accommodate 20 people.
According to AIS data from Monday, the platform supplier is currently moored in Mongstad, Norway.

For pokies players, the range of games at Spin Palace is excellent, with old favourites and new releases across all categories, including progressive jackpots.
Signing up for a new player account at Spin Palace earns you a three-level deposit match bonus that can be worth up to $1000:
To claim all three tiers of the bonus, three deposits worth $2350 need to be made, which will increase your initial bankroll to $3350 (as well as giving you 500 loyalty points to kick off). If all three deposits are made within 7 days of opening your account, the overall deposit match rate is almost 43%.
There is a 50x wagering requirement attached to the Welcome Bonus, which is higher than the current industry average, although for pokies players it is made easier by the fact that both regular games and progressive jackpots contribute 100%:
An overall match of 43% on three deposits of this size make the Spin Palace Welcome Bonus an attractive one for very regular pokies players prepared to make a decent-sized investment at the outset. However, someone who plays only now and then and doesn't want to make that big a commitment probably won't be able to benefit from the full bonus, although they can still get the 100% match on their initial deposit. Therefore, for the occasional player, or those who also like to play other games besides pokies, there will be better value signup bonuses elsewhere.
The Loyalty Club at Spin Palace is the means through which regular players are rewarded. All new players are automatically enrolled and receive 500 points by way of introduction. Points are awarded at a rate of 1 point for every $10 wagered, which can be exchanged (in lots of 1000) for casino credits, where 1000 points earns you $10 to play with. The six levels of membership in the programme are Blue, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Privé, and the higher the level you attain, the greater your potential rewards.
Spin Palace is a Microgaming casino that features more than 350 games, including over 250 high quality pokies in all categories. Games can be played either via free casino software, or in Flash (Instant Play) where no download is required. Some games can be played for free in demo mode, although this is only possible if you have registered for an account. Each game has its own useful description page that tells you how to play and win the biggest jackpots. The range of games includes:
In addition to pokies, at Spin Palace you can enjoy more than 100 table games, including blackjack, roulette, craps and baccarat, as well as video poker and parlour games like keno. There is also a live casino where you can play baccarat, blackjack and roulette streamed in real time and dealt by real dealers.
The Spin Palace mobile casino can be accessed on all major operating systems, although each has a different selection of games available.
Players using Android devices can download one of three apps – Tomb Raider, Blackjack or Mermaids Millions – from the Android Market, Google Play or by going to www.spinpalace.com in your device's browser. However, the apps are not limited to these games, and once installed other games on the platform can also be accessed, and these include both old favourites and new releases, as well as Mega Moolah and Major Millions progressive jackpots. Roulette, JoB video poker and parlour games are also available on Android.
If you use an iOS device (iPhone or iPad), you can either play via an app that can be downloaded from iTunes for free, or by going to i.spinpalace.com in your browser. There are currently 12 Microgaming mobile pokies to enjoy in the browser version (more are available via the app), which includes a mixture of new releases, Microgaming classics, and progressive jackpot slots like Mega Moolah, Major Millions, Treasure Nile and Cash Splash. Video poker, blackjack and bingo can also be played on iOS devices.
Blackberry users can access the mobile casino directly in their browser by going to www.spinpalace.com to enjoy a collection of mobile pokies (including Tomb Raider, Fruit Fiesta, Avalon, Mermaid's Millions and Thunderstruck) and progressive jackpot games like Major Millions, Mega Moolah and Treasure Nile. You can also play roulette, video poker, baccarat, 3 card poker and scratch cards on a Blackberry.
If you have any other sort of mobile device, there is a customised WAP site where 6 mobile pokies and 3 progressive jackpots can be played in the browser by going to www.spinpalace.com; tap on a game and it will automatically download.
The same username and password can be used on any platform and any device, so accounts are synced seamlessly. You also receive the same Welcome Bonus when you sign up in the mobile casino, while the same range of payment methods are also accepted.
Accounts at Spin Palace can be operated in NZD$ and there are several different payment methods available. These include Skrill and Neteller e-wallets, EntroPay and EcoPayz pre-paid and virtual cards, Visa and MasterCard debit and credit cards, and direct bank transfer. All of these methods can be used for both deposits and withdrawals, although in the case of MasterCard it's advisable to check with your provider as it is not always easy to make withdrawals using this card.
With the exception of direct bank transfers, deposits are credited to your account instantly and there are no fees attached. Most withdrawals are processed within 48 hours of a request being made and in the case of e-wallets and virtual cards, your money is instantly available once processed. It should be borne in mind that with credit cards and bank transfers, there will be additional processing time on top from your financial institution.
With an overall pokies RTP of 95.96%, a great selection on Microgaming games, and a sign up offer that suits the dedicated player, Spin Palace remains one of New Zealand's premier pokies sites. Although the layout and design of the site itself looks a little dated now in comparison with newer casinos (it was launched in 2001), the gaming experience itself remains first rate, and for those who like high quality games combined with variety, Spin Palace remains an excellent choice.

Neymar allegedly subjected to racist comments
Barcelona, Jan 3 (IANS) FC Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta has confirmed that his teammate and Brazilian football star Neymar was subjected to alleged racist comments in a La Liga encounter against Espanyol.
Barcelona were held to a goalless draw by the Catalan side on Saturday at Espanyol's home ground, the Estadi cornellà-el prat.
"In one corner, in the first half, from one supporter (about the racist chants)," ace midfielder Iniesta was quoted as saying by espnfc.com.
Defender Gerard Pique said he had not seen or heard anything abusive but called for punishment to the people if they had done it.
"If that happened, obviously they should be charged and the correct measures taken," Pique said.
"Those who did it are responsible, not the Espanyol fans (in general). They should be identified and singled out one by one," he added.
Former Barcelona president Toni Freixa wrote on his Twitter account about the incident, and said he hoped the racist chants at forward Neymar made it to the referee's report.
"I hope that the racist chants at Neymar are included in the referee's report," the tweet from Freixa said.
However, the referee made no mention of any misconduct from the crowd in his official report.

Power off? First, flashlights; second, food
Minnesota health officials encourage residents to keep food safety advice in mind during power outages, especially if the outage lasts at least a day.
To be on the safe side, make sure your fridge and freezer are equipped with thermometers before the lights go out. That could make the difference between knowing if you can keep or should throw out a freezer full of costly food, or, worse, expose yourself and family to spoiled food.
The health department recommends that during a power outage people keep in mind :
Refrigerator and freezer doors should be kept closed as much as possible to maintain cold temperatures.
A refrigerators will only keep food cold for about four hours when left unopened.
Food stored in the refrigerator that has been at a temperature above 41 degrees F for more than four hours should be thrown away.
A packed freezer stays cold longer than one that's half-full. A full freezer will hold its temperature for approximately 48 hours if the door remains closed. If the freezer is only half-full, it will only keep food frozen about 24 hours.
If food stored in a freezer has thawed but is still below 41 degrees F, it can be refrozen. Although the taste and texture of the food may be compromised, it should remain safe to eat.
"Do not trust your eyes or sense of smell to determine if food has gone bad," says Assistant Commissioner of Health Aggie Leitheiser. "Food may be unsafe to eat, even if it doesn't look or smell bad. The old adage applies: when in doubt, throw it out."
Restaurants and other food businesses can call MDH at 651-201-4500 or their local health department for more information about food safety during power outages.

By Bill Argeropoulos (Toronto)
Trends prevalent in 2016 continued to play out in the first half of 2017 – and will likely shape Canada's office market in the foreseeable future as the sector adjusts to the changing dynamics.
Evolving trends and varying fundamentals are challenging stakeholders to adapt more now than ever before – not just in Canada, but globally. On the Canadian front, the prevailing trends include urban intensification, transit-oriented development, consolidation, workplace design and millennials' live-work-play preferences.
Though demand from traditional sectors has been patchy, technology and the co-working craze are transforming the marketplace, garnering an increasing share of the leasing pie. Co-working space providers have expanded rapidly due to the need to cater to startups, entrepreneurs and the increasing demand for affordable workplaces on flexible lease terms. Notably, U.S.-based WeWork has leased big blocks of space in Vancouver and Toronto after opening its first Canadian location in Montreal in 2016. Meanwhile, e-commerce is another ubiquitous driver, prompting firms such as Amazon (in Toronto) and home-grown Shopify (in Toronto and Ottawa) to grow their real estate footprints.
Traditionally having occupied funky, older premises or brick-and-beam product on the fringes of major urban cores, this sector is now seeking a larger presence in major towers, primarily in the country's downtown markets. These trends will challenge owners and occupiers to adapt to evolving circumstances and varying fundamentals in markets from coast to coast.
Notable Mid-Year 2017 Canadian Office Market Highlights....

Tsubo Shoes Will Amaze You Too!
Of course having not seen Tsubos before I was unsure of what to expect when these arrived at our house. I was impressed with how they looked, with the nice even stitching and the type of leather that was used. The leather was soft but still was thick enough to hold shape and for me to know that the sandals are going to hold up well and really be something that I will have for a long time.
So I will admit first up that my days of wearing heels and shoes that torture your feet are long over. I love being able to find brands and choices that are going to work for me when it comes to comfortable and fashionable footwear. I want shoes that look good as I am sure that every woman does but I also need something that is going to really be practical and something that I can wear regardless of the running around that I am going to be doing.
New Shoes, New Shoes
My husband says that I have a problem and I guess that I might. Few things in life are as exciting as when new shoes are delivered to my door. I love being able to review and try out new brands of shoes that I might not have otherwise chosen because there are few things in life that I love as much as new shoes.
Reasons that You Should Be Wearing High Quality Sandals
Shoes that are not made well can actually end up hurting your feet. There are so many things that can happen when you choose to wear the wrong types of sandals. Flip flops, while comfortable, are not the best choice of shoes for anyone to wear. They can cause a number of problems and having someone step on your feet is just one of these.
Flip flops do have a purpose. They are a great choice to use in showers are public places where things like athletes foot and other fungi could be present and growing. Apart from that they are not really good for much and can be seriously damaging when worn long term.
Only sandals that have arch support, cushion for the heels, and shock absorbing abilities are what you should be looking for. This is very important if you do a lot of walking. In fact if you do not have arch support and your foot overly flattens when you are walking you will find that your feet are going to hurt. A good pair of sandals will keep you from having any of these issues.
Other things that could happen is that the foot could end up damaged by puncture wounds or other cuts.
You should also be aware of running or playing sports in any sandals. However the sandals that fit well work better for this.
Finally think about what all could happen to your feet if you are not wearing the right type of shoe or sandal. More people come to the hospital for snake bites and/or insect wounds while wearing flip flops than anything else.
Tsubo Shoes can offer you everything that you want from a high quality sandal. They have a number of styles that come in all different colors. Plus if sandals are not your thing, they do offer a wide range of additional styles.

Thomas "Tom" Haskell, the Samuel G. McCann Professor Emeritus of History and a former chair of the Department of History, died July 12 at the age of 78 from complications related to Alzheimer's disease.
"The faculty of the History Department and of Rice University has lost one of its most important figures: a thought-provoking scholar, an inspiring teacher and, not least, a leader in faculty governance," wrote History Department Chair Carl Caldwell, the Samuel G. McCann Professor of History, in an "in memoriam" post on the department's website.
Haskell came to Rice in 1970, and during his 39 years as a faculty member, he served as chair of the Department of History (1994-96), speaker of the Faculty Council (1995-96) and director of the Center for the Study of Cultures (1993-96), now known as the Humanities Research Center. He also served as chair of the Graduate Committee, chair of the Faculty Council Committee on Athletics and as a member of the Promotion and Tenure Committee along with other university committees.
"Tom did the hard, everyday work of promoting the pursuit of truth, of defending the mission of the university and defending academic freedom," Caldwell said. "He played a central role in developing the professor-run process for addressing severe sanctions placed on professors, including terminations. These procedures remain in place today.
"Tom was equally dedicated to his teaching. His presence in the classroom was intense and demanding — and what serious students wanted," Caldwell said.
A Ph.D. graduate of Stanford with a B.A. from Princeton, Haskell was a noted authority on the history of American thought and society and historical interpretation. He specialized in U.S. history from the 17th century to the present and also studied Victorian intellectuals.
"Historical scholarship for Tom was serious, even sacred," Caldwell said. "History was the fearless search for truth, no matter how uncomfortable that truth could make people. Truth was essential, as was criticism. His first scholarly publications appeared in The New York Review of Books, where Tom, not himself trained as an economist, took on an influential attempt to apply statistical and mathematical methods to the history of slavery in the United States. Tom's critique was one of the first to show the limits to cliometrics."
Haskell led this charge while still an untenured professor at Rice and continued "his sharp, critical interventions," Caldwell said. "In the 1980s, for example, in a controversial article he attacked the use of statistics to argue for discrimination in a case of employment discrimination against Sears, at the same time criticizing some women historians for putting politics above truth.
"He also took on arguments viewing the anti-slavery movement as a functional defense of capitalism, arguing instead that anti-slavery originated out of a humanitarian ethos inherent in free-market capitalism. The arguments remain important in the field, even where they have been challenged. More important, however, is the ethos underlying the arguments, the notion that the professor of history should seek the truth. This theme came out clearly in a powerful essay from 1990, 'Objectivity Is Not Neutrality': a defense of the search for truth, even if the consequences are tragic, as the justification for the discipline."
His professional honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Mellon foundations as well as the National Humanities Institute at Yale and the Center for Advanced Study at Stanford. He served on the nationwide "Committee A" of the Association of American University Professors, which dealt with that organization's most basic purpose, the defense of academic freedom.
Haskell won the George R. Brown Award for Superior Teaching five times over the course of his career at Rice. He also received the Graduate Student Association Faculty/Teaching/Mentoring Award for outstanding service to graduate student education.
In 2013, Rice's Department of History and Dean of Humanities Nicolas Shumway hosted "Values in History: A Conference Honoring Thomas Haskell." Leading historians from across the United States, including Thomas Bender (New York University), James Kloppenberg (Harvard University) and Wilfred McClay (University of Tennessee) along with some of Haskell's former students spoke at the conference.
Haskell wrote, edited and contributed to a number of important books, including "The Emergence of Professional Social Science: The American Social Science Association and the 19th-Century Crisis of Authority," "The Authority of Experts: Historical and Theoretical Essays" and "The Antislavery Debate." His articles and review essays appeared in The New York Review of Books, the American Historical Review, Reviews in American History and History and Theory.
Haskell is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his son and daughter, Alexander Haskell and Susan Khan, and their spouses; and six grandchildren. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the three charitable foundations that he named in his will: the American Association of University Professors, with its longstanding defense of academic freedom, the American Civil Liberties Union and the American Friends Service Committee.
Caldwell noted that Rice will hold a memorial service for Haskell in the fall.
