Review contains some spoilers from book 1 in the series, read at your own risk.
Gemina (Illuminae Files_02) by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
There is a BeiTech operative on the Heimdall, the station where the science vessel Hypatia is heading with the Kerenza survivors.
On the Heimdall is Hanna Donnelly, the commanders daughter and a spoiled rich girl who is top notch in hand to hand combat. There is also Nik Malikov, memeber of a hard core criminal family and nephew of the House of Knives leader aboard the Heimdall. Nik also happens to be Hanna's drug dealer.
When the Heimdall is invaded by a BeiTech team of special operatives intent on keeping the massacre of Kerenza a secret, Hanna and Nik team up to try to stop them.
My thoughts:
Loved it. Absolutely amazing. Phenomenal. Superb. I can't think of any other way to say how awesome this book was.
I absolutely LOVED the characters.
Hanna is a total badass. I thought she would be such a baby but she's got all this hand to hand training that makes her awesome. And she continually makes herself more often as the book goes on with all the shit she manages to pull off! She is just such a great character.
Nik was so amazing too! And so damn adorable! I know I said before that he's part of a crime family, blah blah, but he is such a softy in reality. But so dangerous at the same time. He had these heartbreaking stories that make you think he's this total sweetheart until he's threatened then he goes all cold blooded killer … but the way he is with Hanna is just perfect. I'm totally rambling now.
Then there's Ella, not mentioned in the description, but she is savage. So great.
And the story! Ugh so good! They're trying to protect the Heimdall from a BeiTech audit team that is sent there to kill all the survivors of the Kerenza system and then was to wipe out the Heimdall. And following what happens is just so cool.
And the format again…. I love it so much! I love how it's all dossier like and it makes it so much more fun to read. It's like I'm sitting in a top secret office reading a debriefing of top secret events that went down and it's one of those "if I tell you I'll have to kill you" moments. It's all so cool!
And a cliffhanger!!!!!!! Yesssssssss!!!! There's gonna be another book!!!!!!!!! I am so ready!!!!!!!!
Is it next October yet?!

We are all aware of the controversial nature of religious display on both public and private property. Many newspaper stories have been written recently about Christians and Christian families being denied the right to display a Nativity Scene on private as well as public property.
We are not attorneys nor are we experts in constitutional law. What we offer, for your information and education, are links to three very informative websites. These websites are The Thomas More Law Center, www.thomasmore.org. They were a help to Christmas Night since Thomas Kiley purchased one of our life size outdoor Nativity scenes to honor his family of five generations in Bedford NY and was able to display it on public land.
Also please visit The National Legal Foundation at www.nlf.net. and see www.achw.org/html/nlf.html for Nativity display stories and a letter from the chief counsels of the foundation and center spelling out the details of our right to display a Nativity scene on public and private property.

What are penny stocks?
Low priced small cap stocks are known as penny stocks. A penny stock is pretty much anything under five dollars.
Penny Diving
I was watching a video on YouTube or the news I'm not sure which one it was. In the video a girl was looking at her cell phone. She was not watching where she was going. As she was walking she did not realize that she was walking towards a wishing well. She went into the wishing well and got soaking wet. She was diving for pennies.
If you trade penny stocks keep your eyes open or you might be like the girl in the video.
Trading Penny Stocks
Trading penny stocks can be very dangerous. The problem is that the people who make the money are the ones who know when to get in and get out. Years ago I dabbled in the penny stock market. I found that it was the quickest way to turn $1000 into pennies.
Some have dreams of grandeur when they trade penny stocks.
Pump and Dump
One particular company I traded had a tactic used called Pump and Dump. This is a tactic that is used by many that make money in penny stocks. The way they do this is pump the stock on message boards, social media, and other forms of communication.
The value of a penny stock can move a big amount with a relatively small amount of money. So as they pump the stock people begin to buy. As others are buying the pumper is selling. He makes his money and dumps then the stock crashes. The people who bought the pump are the ones losing their money. Sometimes the company will pump the stock by using news reports to hype up the company. The company I traded ran up quickly and fell quickly.
Does Every Stock Start as a Penny Stock?
This is a question that needs to be answered before you ever think about getting into penny stocks. Some people get the idea that when a company goes public it is automatically a penny stock at first. Well that is not the case. When a business goes public many times it's not in the penny stock world. Look at Facebook when it went public. It started out between 30 and 40 dollars.
Many times companies don't start out in the penny market.
Penny stocks that made it
There are companies that have made it in the world of penny stocks. These are companies that keep the dream alive for the current penny stock traders.
Pier 1 imports is an example that some use. It fell into the pennies because of the economic downturn I guess we can count that. Most pennies never make it out of penny land.
Are penny socks worth it?
The simple answer to that question is no. I would say that penny stocks are the quickest way to turn your hard-earned cash into pennies. Penny stocks are subject to high levels of manipulation. Many invest in the penny stock market to get rich quick. It's not going to happen.
The next apple is not in the penny stock market. Even if there were companies coming out of the penny stock market into the NASDAQ how would you pick the right one? There are many fraudsters in the micro cap world and their goal is to separate you from your money.
Now there are good companies in the penny stock market but finding them might be like finding a needle in a haystack.

New report shares findings of the first-ever COSI study in Kazakhstan
A national report presenting the results of a WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative (COSI) study in Kazakhstan was recently released. This was the first time the country participated in the study. It found that around 20% of 8- and 9-year-old children were overweight and 6% were obese. In addition, it showed clear differences in prevalence according to gender and place of residence. For example, boys living in urban areas tended to be more overweight or obese than boys living in rural settings.
The National Centre for Problems of Healthy Lifestyle Development of the Ministry of Health implemented the COSI study. It involved taking body measurements of third- and fourth-grade students, collecting information on their eating behaviours and physical activity habits, and collecting self-reported information on the body mass indexes and socioeconomic situations of their parents.
Using findings for evidence-based policies
This important report provides a baseline for further assessments, and has already helped to identify specific factors associated with childhood overweight and obesity in Kazakhstan. It will empower advocates of policies to reduce childhood overweight and obesity, and enable policy-makers to design better and more cost-effective strategies and interventions to address the problem.
The environments to which children are exposed play a crucial role in the development of this epidemic. Sugary drinks and sweet and savoury snacks in schools, for example, can adversely affect the health of children. It is important that a multifaceted approach is taken to creating healthy school environments. This involves establishing standards for meals provided in schools, controlling the foods and beverages that are available to children, and including nutrition and health education within the core curriculum.
In addition, whole-of-government action is needed to reduce levels of overweight and obesity through the primary health-care system, the sports sector and community-based interventions targeting the entire family.
The full results of the study can be accessed in Russian. An English summary of key findings is also available.

Will US Face Power Blackouts as Drought Hits Electricity Generation?
By: OilPrice_Com
Market Oracle
Sep 07, 2012
Well, its official – the U.S. government has acknowledged that the U.S. is in the worst drought in over 50 years, since December 1956, when about 58 percent of the contiguous U.S. was in moderate to extreme drought.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Climatic Data Center's "" report, "Based on the Palmer Drought Index, severe to extreme drought affected about 38 percent of the contiguous United States as of the end of July 2012, an increase of about 5 percent from last month… About 57 percent of the contiguous U.S. fell in the moderate to extreme drought categories (based on the Palmer Drought Index) at the end of July… According to the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor, about 63 percent of the contiguous U.S. (about 53 percent of the U.S. including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico) was classified as experiencing moderate to exceptional (D1-D4) drought at the end of July."
Much business writing on the effects of the drought have focused on its agricultural aspects. To give but one, the hottest, driest summer since 1936 scorching the Midwest have diminished projected corn and soybean crop yields s in the U.S. for a third straight year to their lowest levels in nine years. Accordingly, the price of a bushel of corn has jumped 62 percent since 15 June and soybeans gained 32 percent in the same period.
But as consumers fret about the inevitable rise in food prices to come, the drought is unveiling another, darker threat to the American lifestyle, as it is now threatening U.S. electricity supplies.

Take away Barack Obama's teleprompter and odds are he'll put his foot in his mouth.
He did exactly that when chatting with Jay Leno during that ever so historic appearance on the Tonight Show.
Here's the very, very uncool exchange:
MR. LENO: Now, are they going to put a basketball –- I imagine the bowling alley has been just burned and closed down.
MR. OBAMA: No, no. I have been practicing all –- (laughter.)
MR. LENO: Really? Really?
MR. OBAMA: I bowled a 129. (Laughter and applause.)
MR. LENO: No, that's very good. Yes. That's very good, Mr. President.
MR. OBAMA: It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something. (Laughter.)
MR. LENO: No, that's very good.
MR. OBAMA: No, listen, I'm making progress on the bowling, yes.
Wouldn't you think by now Obama would be better at speaking off-the-cuff?
How could he possibly come up with that Special Olympics remark?
Not cool at all.
From FOX News:
President Obama sat down with Jay Leno on Thursday for a late-night TV interview that spanned a range of topics -- from the economic crisis to the presidential dog -- and even, at one point, featured the president joking that his bowling ability was suitable for the Special Olympics.
The bowling comment was a reminder of his poor performance on the lanes last year during one of his campaign stops. Obama bragged to "The Tonight Show" that he recently bowled 129 on the White House alley.
...On Thursday evening, Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said the president's "offhand" remarks were meant to make fun "of his own bowling and in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics."
"He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world," said Burton.
Yes, we know that Obama is not a good bowler. That's the point.
Obama was attempting to use self-deprecating humor, but in the process, he insulted the accomplishments of the participants in the Special Olympics.
Bill Burton's explanation doesn't help matters. He says that Obama's "offhand" remarks meant to make fun "of his own bowling and in no way intended to disparage the Special Olympics."
Then why did he say his low scoring, poor bowling performance was "like Special Olympics, or something"?
Of course that was a disparaging remark.
There's absolutely no other way to interpret it. It was a callous, insensitive thing to say. Sometimes, there's a very cruel edge to Obama's sense of humor.
Burton says that Obama didn't mean to disparage the Special Olympians, but he most certainly did. Obama owes them an apology.
This isn't the first time Obama's humor has backfired when he's been without his teleprompter and the true man, the spontaneous Obama, is revealed.
On November 7, 2008, then president-elect Obama screwed up during his first news conference by making what was later referred to as a "careless joke" at Nancy Reagan's expense. At the time, Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter called that an "offhanded remark." Apparently, that's how Obama jokes gone bad are characterized.
Obama did apologize to Mrs. Reagan. I think he would be wise to do the same to the participants in the Special Olympics. Obama should take responsibility for what he said.
Surely Burton must be aware that what he calls "offhand" remarks are no less hurtful and offensive than ones that scroll down a teleprompter.

This post is coming to you one week after the annual Food and Nutrition Expo, held in Chicago this year. I had such a fun time seeing fellow RDs, some who I hadn't seen since my time in New York City, and tasting some cool new foods on the expo hall floor. I even got to meet one of my brand idols! (hint: she was purely gorgeous in person!) The best part was also the fact that I got to come home every night and sleep in my bed, a refreshing change from working it last year and getting sick in my hotel room!
I'm rounding up my top moments and some nutrition trends you'll want to keep your eyes out for starting with the food!
I started the conference hanging at Health Warrior's booth talking all things pumpkin seeds! Did you know they have bars with pumpkin seeds as the first ingredient? Yes! They come in three amazing flavors, and have 8 grams of protein per bar. I love that they are only sweetened with honey, a huge difference compared to a lot of other bars out there. If you live in Chicago you can find them at Target, Jewel-Osco, and on Amazon! Here's a link to my favorite flavor!
I had the pleasure of taking over Simple Mill's Instagram story to show viewers all the happenings on the expo floor! I had so much fun playing food investigative journalist as I scoped out what new and exciting foods brands were debuting, and just how they were teaching dietitians about their foods….hello cranberry bog! I storied my way to a lunch that Simple Mills was hosting where there was no shortage of delicious eats including mini pumpkin donuts and the best cheese and cracker spread! Their pumpkin bread and muffin mix is on my list of top 10 pumpkin products you must have, and if you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?!
Along the way I ran into my favorite yogurt maker…the man, the myth, the legend…Siggi! I used to see Siggi every couple of months for RD events on behalf of siggi's, so it was great to catch up!
The big standouts for me when it came to foods where savory bars, pumpkin seed bars, bars made from beans (yes!), immersion experiences that took RDs one step closer to see how a food is made or grown, coffee everywhere, and clean label transparency. These were common threads among the booths, and things I think we are going to see a lot more of!
I started at a different end of the expo on Sunday and to my excitement ran into THE Elizabeth from Purely Elizabeth! I've been a huge fan of this brand for years, and immediately recognized her, because she is seriously so pretty! Huge honor to meet the maker of my favorite pumpkin granola! Big shout out to their team for hooking a sister up with some mini bags for me to take home!
On the last full day of the conference I had the pleasure of attending a lovely dinner hosted by Kodiak Cakes at Farmhouse in Chicago. I'd never been to this restaurant in Chicago, but heard it was great, and boy it did not disappoint! The menu was curated especially with Kodiak Cake ingredients an there was a healthy dose of pumpkin that hit it out of the park for me! We started with a deconstructed butternut squash soup (remind me to try to remake that!) and then a second course of mushroom pasta, which led into a dessert of pumpkin cheesecake. The cheesecake had an oat crumble that I still can't stop thinking about! Amazing!
I also came home with some great samples that I'm still digging through (I swear it's Halloween for dietitians!) and some new research that I'm excited to share more about with you.

Indian Coast Guard Station Mayabunder, the first CG Station in the North Andaman Islands was commissioned by the Defence Secretary, Shri Shashi Kant Sharma today. The station is a part of ongoing efforts by the Coast Guard to strengthen Maritime and Coastal Security and the assets based at Mayabunder will help augment patrolling along the Northern Group of Islands for safeguarding Indian maritime interests.
Speaking on the occasion, Defence Secretary, Shri Shashi Kant Sharma lauded the efforts of the Indian Coast Guard in maintaining a high state of vigil in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands resulting in apprehension of a large number of poachers and saving of precious human lives during search and rescue operations. He further said that the implementation of the Coastal Surveillance Network project would be a major milestone in ensuring near gap-free radar surveillance of these Islands.
Addressing the gathering, Commander-in-Chief Andaman and Nicobar Air Marshal P K Roy stressed the need for maintaining continuous vigil of this strategically important archipelago. He further stated that the Coast Guard had initiated several far-reaching measures to augment force levels and manpower to meet existing and future maritime challenges.
Coast Guard Station Mayabunder will function under the administrative and operational control of the Commander Coast Guard Region (A&N) through the Commander Coast Guard District Headquarter-9 located at Diglipur. Commandant (JG) Umed Singh has been appointed as the Commanding Officer of the station.
Inspector General VSR Murthy, Commander Coast Guard Region (A&N) and senior officials from the A&N administration were also present on the occasion.

When you plan your Disney vacation, the mainstays are attractions, fireworks, character dining and maybe some resort time, but did you know there's a whole host of other things to do at Walt Disney World?.
Disney World Resort Activities
The Disney World Resorts offer a variety of unique recreational activities that you might not expect to see. Here are a few of our favorite hidden gems.
Horseback Riding
Have you ever wanted to give horseback riding a try? Well, you can on the scenic wooded trails at The Cabins and Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort! No experience is needed. The Cast Member guides and animal caretakers will teach you everything you need to know. Guests 9 years of age and up can hop in the saddle and ride through serene woodlands that are filled with deer, ducks, armadillos and rabbits and more. The trail rides last 45 minutes and they are a perfectly relaxing way to explore the natural beauty of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.
For little ones who aren't eligible for a horseback riding tour, the Tri-Circle-D Ranch also offers pony rides on petite ponies. Riders aged 2 and up (no more than to 80 lbs and 48 inches tall) can get a taste of being a cowboy or cowgirl at the ranch. Afterward, they may even get to see Cinderella's Ponies who also live there!
Did you know you can go fishing at Walt Disney World? It's catch-and-release only property-wide, but it's still a great family bonding activity. There are 2 types of fishing available at Disney. The first is dockside fishing that's available at Disney's Port Orleans – Riverside Resort and at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

Almost lost amid the flood of new devices announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona overnight was a notable sign of progress toward the tech industry's longtime aspiration of replacing old-fashioned wallets with digital ones.
Isis, a joint venture of AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, says it has reached agreements with Chase, Capital One and Barclaycard to put their credit, debit and prepaid cards into a digital wallet for mobile phones — a secure app that will let people use their devices rather than plastic to pay for items at stores.
The joint venture also provided the first public glimpse of the Isis interface. The app works via Near-Field Communication technology, or NFC, letting users tap their phones to pay at the register.
Isis is planning to test the Mobile Wallet later this year starting in Salt Lake City and Austin.
The joint venture last year announced agreements with Visa MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Phone makers including HTC, LG, Motorola Mobility, RIM, Samsung Mobile and Sony Ericsson have signaled plans to release NFC-enabled phones.
Sprint, the only one of the four major U.S. wireless carriers not involved in the joint venture, is working separately with Google on its alternative Google Wallet initiative.
Isis, based in New York, also has an office in Bellevue.

Two teams -- Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars -- in contrasting form are set for an important clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Monday. The match also happens to be the last one of the first phase of the Pakistan Super League.
Quetta Gladiators have been the standout team in the PSL, with three wins on the trotm while Lahore Qalandars, with two back-to-back losses, are struggling in the competition. When these two teams take the field on Monday, Quetta with their strong team and in-form players, will be huge favourites to win their fourth straight match.
Quetta have all their bases covered, with some quality players in both the batting and bowling department. In Luke Wright, Kevin Pietersen, Ahmed Shehzad and Sarfaraz Ahmed, they have a formidable batting lineup. With Wright in tremendous form, scoring runs consistently, Quetta have been given flying starts by the Englishman. Wright is the highest runscorer in the PSL, with 149 to his name.
The Quetta Gladiators bowlers have also been right up there, with Mohammad Nawaz being the pick of the bowlers, taking eight wickets so far. Even if Nawaz fails to deliver, they have Anwar Ali and Umar Gul to pick those wickets.
However the trio are aware of the tough task with ahead of them, considering Lahore have Chris Gayle, who is yet to hit top gear in the PSL, in the lineup. The Qalandars are highly dependent on the bating exploits of the left-hander, who has scored just six runs so far in the tournament. The West Indian is due for a big score, and if Gayle gets things straight, Lahore could well notch their first points of the PSL.
They do have the plenty of ammunition in the batting front to support Gayle, such as skipper Azhar Ali and Umar Akmal. It is just a matter of finding form at the right time for Lahore.

The Sandringham offers you the best of both worlds. Many rooms offer fantastic views across the Common and the sea beyond. With its central location, it is also the perfect place to explore Southsea from.
Southsea is a place that you'll never tire of; it's exciting, vibrant and entertaining. Southsea offers great museums, exciting places to visit and is home to some of the south coast's most historic sites. The shopping area provides a great mix of specialist, unique and boutique style shopping together with Debenhams and John Lewis department stores. When you add the beach and the great sea views to a great shopping experience you will certainly want to visit again and again.
Southsea provides two distinct shopping areas in close proximity to each other. The town centre shopping is located in and around the Palmerston Road pedestrian area. It is home to well known brands and has lots of places to enjoy a meal or take a break for coffee (and cake). The area is well served by public transport. Less than 5 minutes away from the Town Centre shops you'll find Albert Road which is home to the Kings Theatre. Albert Road provides for a different shopping offer. This area provides a wide and varied range of eateries and bars.
Between the sea and the shops you'll find the great and green open space 'Southsea Common'. Many of the major events that take place in Portsmouth are based on and around the Common and when not hosting an event it's a great place to stroll and take a break.
