As much as 75 percent of the olive oil in the U.S. is counterfeit and may contain chemical and artificial colors that mask the color and smell of the cheaper oils it contains. Why is this? How can you purchase real fresh olive oil?
According to a recent Sixty Minutes report, the Mafia has corrupted Italy's olive oil business. Several sources say the most common type of fraud is mixing Italian extra-virgin with lower quality olive oils from North Africa and around the Mediterranean. In other cases, a bottle labeled "extra-virgin olive oil" may not be olive oil at all, just a seed oil like sunflower made to look and smell like olive oil with a few drops of chlorophyll and beta-carotene. Other imposter ingredients include hazelnut oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, soybean oil, palm oil and walnut oil.Much olive oil that claims to be "from Italy" is actually brought into Italy and re-exported from there. If you are paying seven or eight dollars for a bottle of Italian extra virgin olive oil, it's probably not Italian extra-virgin.
In two studies, UC Davis researchers analyzed a total of 186 extra virgin olive oil samples against standards established by the International Olive council, as well as methods used in Germany and Australia. They found that an estimated 69% of store-bought extra virgin olive oils in the US are probably fake. These brands failed their testing: Bertolli, Carapelli, Colavita, Star, Pompeian, Filippo Berio, Mazzola, Mezzetta, Newman's Own, Safeway and Whole Foods. The real deals are: California Olive Ranch, Cobram Estate, Lucini, Kirkland Organic, Lucero (Ascolano), McEvoy Ranch Organic. (Note: This research is considered controversial by some since UC Davis is in the forefront of energetic attempts to grow the California oil industry. And, the research was funded by companies behind two of the California oils that were tested and by the California Olive Oil Council. From Nancy Harmon Jenkins, well known author of several books on Mediterranean cuisine.)
To make a more informed olive oil purchase, here's what you can do:
Look closely at the label. Turn the bottle over. Ideal packaging requires use of dark glass bottles. Is the oil actually produced in Italy? If so, where? The olive tree is native to the Mediterranean; this is its natural environment, which influences its taste and nutritional qualities. The fewer sources of olives for your bottle, the less time the olives spend in transit, being handled, packaged and processed. Be encouraged if it's from a city in Sicily or Puglia, both known for producing olive oil. Consider buying online directly from Italian producers like Lucia Iannotta. (You can also go to http://oliveoillovers.com/nyiooc-winners/ to see the 2016 award winners.) Pay attention to both the expiration date and the harvest date. Usually the expiration date is 1 to 1-½ years away. If there is not an expiration date do not buy it.
Look for the harvest date. Olive oil is not meant to age. You want to consume olive oil within 1-2 years (one year is ideal) of its harvest date. And ideally that date is in late October or November of the previous year. If the back of the label doesn't have the harvest date, you may consider putting that bottle back on the store shelf.
Look for seals of approval. Many California olive oils are sent to the California Olive Oil Council's panel of trained tasters. If the oil passes, the producer is given permission to place the COOC seal on the label. Small producers may find this action cost prohibitive; usually these bottles show a harvest date.
Smell and taste it. As soon as you get the olive oil home, smell it and taste it. Ideally you won't encounter the off odors which can be described as wax, bad salami, old peanut butter, baby diaper, manure or sweaty socks.
Take it back. Tell the store manager the oil is rancid and return it.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Paris, – Virtustream and Capgemini today expanded their strategic collaboration to deliver modernisation and transformation services for private and hybrid cloud SAP® solution environments. This initiative delivers end to end deployments, distinct service levels at the application layer and cost efficiency for workloads running on SAP software. Customers across North America and Europe, particularly across Consumer Products, Retail and Manufacturing sectors, are expected to benefit from effective automation, cloud migration and deployment experience to help them innovate rapidly. As part of the collaboration, Capgemini has invested in Virtustream-enabled platforms and will leverage them to provide migration, modernisation and hosting solutions.
Acknowledging that customers are at different states of virtualisation and cloud adoption, Virtustream, Capgemini and their partners offer a full spectrum of services to address different desired customer outcomes. The joint offering announced today delivers modernisation services to transform legacy SAP software environments to the SAP HANA® platform and SAP S/4HANA, and transformation services for SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA. The transformation services cover platform and application changes, staffing strategies, change management activities, process digitisation and redesign for SAP software landscapes including SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA.
Capgemini utilises innovative, leading private or hybrid cloud, automation, management and virtualisation platforms from EMC, VMware and Virtustream that enable clients to improve customer experience, deliver real-time business insights and unlock new business opportunities with distinct service levels.
As part of Virtustream's Service Provider Select program, Capgemini and Virtustream plan to offer "paired data centre"1 capabilities in the UK and France to allow the companies to seamlessly deploy customer workloads across each other's xStream®-powered cloud facilities2 with distinct service levels in a private or hybrid cloud environment.
Capgemini responds to growing demand for global and localised SAP-based Cloud projects
Capgemini is launching this tactical purpose-built solution that will enable it to scale its cloud infrastructure with growing customer demand for SAP-based projects in private and hybrid cloud architectures. It resolves to find a solution that offers service level agreements (SLAs) up through the application stack and accelerated time to market. For this solution, Capgemini chose Virtustream for its SAP-certified cloud management platform and expertise managing and scaling SAP HANA deployments, as well as EMC and VMware technologies for their ability to automate application delivery and operations in private and hybrid clouds.
Paul Nannetti, Capgemini Group Executive Committee member said: "This architecture and platform leverages Virtustream's core infrastructure expertise in SAP and SAP HANA environments. It also draws on EMC and VMware expertise in migrating and initialising SAP workloads to the hybrid cloud as well as in virtualising and automating the private cloud. Our joint expertise and services allow for distinct performance-based SLAs up through the SAP application itself, to enable a faster time to market and better utilise our clients' existing data centre assets. Furthermore, this private and hybrid cloud solution is an important option on how to solve current challenges around regulatory and data privacy challenges many of our customers around the world are facing today."
"As a leading global consulting firm, Capgemini is constantly focused on delivering maximum value to its clients – which increasingly means managing an efficient, scalable global cloud infrastructure," said Rodney Rogers, CEO and Co-Founder at Virtustream. "That they recognised partnering with Virtustream as a core component of their market offering, and our xStream cloud management platform as the right tool to help accelerate this strategy are both testaments to the growing global momentum we are experiencing in the market."
Javier Polit, Chief Information Officer at Coca-Cola Bottling Investments Group and a customer of both Capgemini and Virtustream, added, "The Capgemini-Virtustream combination around SAP-in-the-cloud brings together two leaders in SAP services, and two valued Coca-Cola partners. We are already delivering against the time-to-market and cost advantages."
"Practitioners in the Wikibon community are adopting a multi-cloud strategy. They are looking for solutions that can help reduce risk and simplify management. Collaborations like this help the overall cloud time-to-value, improving the adoption of hybrid cloud." said Stuart Miniman, Senior Analyst, Wikibon.

After "Pomp and Circumstance" ends, most college graduates have about six months to get their financial lives settled before they start repaying student loans. Instead of taking this time to research their options, though, they blithely settle for whatever the loan servicer offers, even though it places a financial burden on them.

It is smarter to be proactive about student loan debt, however, than to wait and assume. Federal student loans in particular have a number of repayment options that make it easier to deal with debt. Learn about these options now, use the repayment estimator, and find the plan that best suits your unique financial situation:

Standard Repayment Plan: This is the repayment plan that will be "assigned" to you if you make no alternate choice. Payments are set at a fixed amount, and you usually pay this amount for up to 10 years — or up to 30 years for Consolidation Loans. If you feel that you can afford this amount, this is usually the best approach as you know how much you will pay for how long. The total amount of principal and interest you will repay is usually less than other options.

Graduated Repayment Plan: If your estimated income is lower at first, but you expect it will increase over time, this might be a better option. Here your payments will be lower initially and then increase, usually every two years. Similar to the standard repayment plan, you will usually pay this amount for up to 10 years or up to 30 years for Consolidation Loans. Because your initial payments are lower, more interest accrues, so the total amount you repay over time will be higher than the standard plan.

Extended Repayment Plan: If your loan amount is higher, or you don't feel your budget will accommodate a higher repayment amount, you might want to look at extending the term of your repayment plan. Your payments can be fixed or graduated, but here the repayment term will be extended to 25 years. In most cases, you must have more than $30,000 in student loan debt to qualify for this plan. Although your monthly payments might be lower, the total amount you repay will again be higher because you will be making payments for a longer period of time.

Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (REPAYE): This does not apply to Consolidation Loans. In this plan, your monthly payments will be limited to 10 percent of your discretionary income. This amount is recalculated each year, based on your current income and family size. Any outstanding loan balance is forgiven if your loan has not been repaid in full after 20 or 25 years. Keep in mind that you might have to pay income taxes on any loan amounts that are forgiven, but this might be a good option for those considering Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). It keeps the payments lower while you work at what might be a lower-paying job in the public interest.

Income-Based Repayment Plan (IBR): This is similar to the REPAYE plan, except that it does include Consolidation Loans. If you are married, your spouse's income or loan debt will be considered only if you file a joint tax return.

Income-Contingent Repayment Plan (ICR): This does not apply to Consolidation Loans. In this plan, your monthly payment is the lesser amount of 20 percent of discretionary income, or the amount you would pay on a repayment plan with a fixed payment over 12 years, adjusted according to your income.

Income-Sensitive Repayment Plan: Your monthly payment is based on annual income, but the formula used to determine the payment amount can vary amount lenders. Repayment term is up to 15 years.

Repayment plans can be changed at any time. It is best to talk to your student loan servicer if you have questions. Lessons learned by college grads can also be great student loan primers for students just about to head off to college. Make smarter decisions about your financial aid package now, and you might not have so many money problems later.

Beyond the Call of Duty: Animal Bravery in Wartime (The National Archives) Paperback
by Peter Hicks
Part of the Beyond the Call of Duty series
Throughout history, the armed forces have had help from brave creatures, from horses on cavalry charges to messenger dogs and carrier pigeons. Beyond the Call of Duty gives accounts of outstanding bravery and courage in wartime.
This title looks at animals in the World Wars and how they risked their lives, without choice, to help humans in frightening and dangerous situations.
Documents, images and records from The National Archives have been used to recreate each real-life act of courage.
The book concludes with a look at 'research and records' giving more information about the evidence that exists for these stories today.Context panels give more information about the events of the World Wars giving explanation for why animals were taken into these frightening and dangerous situations.Where animals have been awarded PDSA Dickin Medal for gallantry for their act of bravery, the story is accompanied by a fact panel that gives details of the event and date.We discuss the idea of bravery and how it applies to animals.
We look at the conscription of animals into the armed forces and recognise the fact that they had no choice.
Among the brave animals in this book are: the war horses taken to the Western Front and on the home front in the Blitz. the dogs that were used as messengers, in both World Wars and those that were taught to parachute and sniff out unexploded mines. carrier pigeons that covered huge distances in time to save lives and play a vital role in the Resistance. the mules who were used in the front line and in Burma the camels that were key to the British war effort in the middle east. the elephants that helped with transport, carrying, and even building roads and bridges in the rainforest. Wojtek, the bear adopted by a Polish regiment in World War II the mascots that accompanied troops all over the worldThe Beyond the Call of Duty series remembers and records acts of great bravery in both World Wars.
Other titles in the series look at the courage of members of the armed force and of civilians.

Is South Africa now world rugby's feeder nation?
The short answer to this question is yes.
A number of the country's players are already plying their trade overseas, while even more will leave at the end of the season.
And if reports are to be believed, the country's schoolboys are now under attack too with as much as 20 current Craven Week players reportedly being linked with French clubs.
So who is to blame for the game busy bleeding out in our country?
The answer to that is all of us.
The more infighting we have with regards to the nation's favourite pastime, the more divided we become.
War logic tells me that divided forces are easier to overcome than one that stands together.
Those jammy bastards in Europe and Britain are smiling from ear to ear every time they read about our unhappiness with this or with that when it comes to rugby.
Admit it or not, the war trumpets have been blown by the French in terms of rugby and their poaching and it's up to the Saru to do something to stop the exodus.
Yes, we don't have the resources to compete with these guys, we know that by now.
But by giving equal opportunity to all we might just give time for the scab to form over what is obviously an open rugby wound.
Until then, we might just see a number of expats in the France national team in years to come - ala Rory Kockott, Scott Spedding and Pieter de Villiers.

[portfolio_slideshow showcaps=true timeout=10000]
I had a very enjoyable Independence Day weekend and I thought I would share it with you. The photos above should give you a good idea of my time, but here's the "rest of the story."
Helen's Baptism
My very good friends, Jim & Kerry, asked me to be the godfather for their youngest daughter Helen. Her baptism was held at Tulsa's Christ the King Church on Saturday afternoon.
I've known Jim and Kerry for almost 8 years now, beginning when both were students at TU. Both were very active leaders at the Newman Center and I counted on them many time. Kerry was my designated Spanish speaker on several trips to Guatemala – which always put my mind at ease. Jim organized many activities and sports teams, traveled on most Newman Center trips and was one of my companions on the great trek across Spain on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
Following Helen's baptism, Jim and Kerry hosted a day-long reception at their house. It was great fun, with lawn games, good food and drink, and rousing games of ping-pong. I was quite literally there for 7 hours! I'm sure they are still recovering!
It's a great honor to be their daughter's godfather. Helen joins Sophie, my other goddaughter, the oldest child of my great friends John and Nadine. I have likewise shared many experiences and have traveled the world with them. I'm looking forward to seeing them in October.
My life would be so much poorer without these friends and their extended families.
Grand Lake
I spent Sunday afternoon at our cabin on Grand Lake. We have a quaint cinder block cabin on 14 shoreline acres. The place has so many family memories and I love spending time there.
There was some sadness being there this year. Several of the lake communities have been suffering because of the weather this year. Last winter, a great deal of damage was caused by massive snowfalls. Many boat docks and boats were sunk due to the weight of snow on their roofs. This spring other communities suffered from tornado damage.
These communities rely on big holiday weekends for much of their revenue. Unfortunately, there is currently an outbreak of blue-green algae kept many people way this weekend. The algae is dangerous stuff. It releases a neuro-toxin that can make people and animals quite ill. The lake authorities warned people not to make contact with the water. Naturally, this kept many people away and the lake communities suffered yet again.
I was determined to spend time at the cabin anyway and to do some upkeep on the place. It was a relaxing time, but I would have preferred to have friends with me.
Tulsa Drillers Baseball
I didn't really have any firm plans for the 4th of July itself, so on a whim I purchased one of the last tickets available for the Tulsa Drillers baseball game. I like to attend baseball games but I hadn't had a chance to go to one at their new downtown stadium. This seemed like a perfect opportunity since I knew they were going to follow the game with fireworks.
A bit warm, it was a very pleasant evening. The Drillers led most of the game but were defeated when the San Antonio Missions took the lead in the 8th inning. Nonetheless, it was a very American way to spend Independence Day.
As promised, the Drillers offered up their own fireworks show following the game. This was an experience! The fireworks were of the low-altitude variety, shot off from the field itself. The video that follows was shot on my iPhone from less than 100 yards away.
It was loud, exciting, patriotic and smelled of gun powder! Nothing like blowing things up on the 4th of July!
I'd say that was a very successful holiday. Now, I need to rest up!

From shark wrangler to stand-up comic, cruise-ship lifeguard to television producer, Bob Friel front-loaded his life with an adventurous mix of jobs before committing himself to writing full-time.
The award-winning author and photographer has traveled to more than 50 countries to capture stories, photos and TV for Outside, Sunset, Smithsonian Air & Space, NBC, CBS, BBC, MTV, Discovery Channel, Disney/Hyperion, and many other top magazines, television networks and publishers.
Friel is also a trained amphibious ultralight pilot, marine naturalist, bodhran player and bartender, but reports that only one of those skills regularly comes in handy. He spent 9 years as editor of Caribbean Travel & Life magazine, but somehow could never maintain a decent tan, so he traded in his flip flops for flannel and moved to a tiny, rural island in the Pacific Northwest—the eighth island this Philly boy has lived on around the world.
It was in the middle of this beautiful, misty nowhere that a high-flying teenage runaway landed a stolen plane and entered outlaw history, becoming the subject of Friel's acclaimed nonfiction book: The Barefoot Bandit: The True Tale of Colton Harris-Moore, New American Outlaw.
Friel's book has been adapted for the screen by Academy Award-winning writer Lance Black (Milk) as an upcoming feature film by Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis (Forest Gump, Castaway, Flight, Back to the Future, etc).

The Sneaker Pimps' sound is neither original nor unique, but their design and structure set them apart from the majority of Trip Hop artists. Their mild mannered style let them slide past their competition and into the annals of underground super stardom.
These pimps of sound have created one of the best debut works of all time. Becoming X is comprised of low-end bass, snappy, off-pattern drums and thumping rhythms. The secret to their compositions is minimalistic layering, using only the bare essentials to produce an emotionally full package.
Every track maintains their stylistic integrity without becoming repetitive or boring. Switching from highly synthetic to earthy and acoustic, they provide enough variety to attract the widest audience possible. Let your senses run free and experience the inspiration of Becoming X.

I'm not a member of the queer community, but I chat with people from all walks of life including theirs. From the outside looking in, it's hard to figure out the distinctions between the different points where people stand on the queer spectrum. At least I've learned that there is such a variety. I try pretty hard to be aware of and avoid the pitfalls of The Male Gaze and my own view through it, but I don't know that I'll ever be able to shed the restrictions of my own position on the spectrum. My position is, I think, pretty heteronormative (am I using that correctly?) as a straight male but I've no particular phobias about any of the other lifestyles. So… I'm boring but open-minded.
I've also read the label "ally" as applied to people who are just straight like me but who try to support, defend, and fight on behalf of the people in the queer community. I don't know if I'm using that label correctly, either, but I do think of myself as an ally to people of any gender orientation. Specifically for their right to live their lives without attack. That's because I think all people who don't infringe other people's rights should be allowed to live their lives with freedom, respect, and happiness.
So, this Monday that just passed was National Coming Out Day and that's a good thing, right? Well, I'm kind of torn on it. Just like some people think that Valentine's Day is a lame excuse to save up romantic gestures for one day a year, I'm a little puzzled as to why it's okay to say that one specific day is okay for coming out as being something besides straight. On the surface, it seems like a "win" for the queer community, but I fear it's just a restriction in disguise. That somehow people (both queer and straight) will feel like there's some sort of amnesty on repercussions when announcing your orientation that day but that it's still a bad idea on all the other days.
There are a couple aspects to consider there. First of all, I want everyone to feel that they can be honest about who they are, every day of the year. Nobody should suffer shame because of how they're built. I don't care if you think it's a choice or not, nobody should feel shame just because they exist. We should all be proud to be alive as exactly who we are, because our own selves are our greatest and truest possessions. Secondly, that suggestion that it's okay to come out on that day or any day is by no means valid across the board. We, who are considered by the mainstream television audience to be the "normal ones", are privileged by our being labeled that way. We can say that we support this or want that or like the other and our alleged normality means we probably won't be beaten to death. Does that seem like an extreme consequence? Well, it is extreme, but it's also too frequent to be dismissed as hyperbole. Someone can come out as gay and immediately get attacked by friends, family, authority figures, community leaders, and everybody else around them. Even on a day that's been given a welcoming name.
So, the most positive part of National Coming Out Day to me is that it's an opportunity when so-called normal people can show the potential attackers that it's not okay to attack someone who reveals themselves to be queer. Because many of us are on their side. Many of us want the fact that there are even different sides at all to stop being true. And although I'd applaud and support anybody who does come out, I understand if there are those who want to but aren't in a safe enough environment to do it.
Of course, coming out isn't the end of troubles for those brave folk either. There's been a media spotlight (a small one, really) on several gay teen suicides over the past few weeks, specifically ones resultant from bullying. I fear sometimes that the term "bullying" doesn't properly convey what actually happens. It might be more accurately evocative to call it bigotry-fueled-torture, but that's probably harder to publicize. Yet that's what happens. People who are seen as different are verbally and physically abused, publicly humiliated, ostracized by their communities, and belittled in ways that make waterboarding seem like a welcome change of pace.
To someone who's never experienced it, calling what happens to gay teens "bullying" might just stir memories of some 8pm sitcom where a big kid pushes around a smaller kid and demands lunch money. If that's what you picture, shake it out of your mind and replace it with a vision of one defenseless teenager surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of other teens kicking and punching them relentlessly until the gay teen suffers a gory and ignoble death. Literally or figuratively, that's what's happening. Imagining less than that denies and disrespects the horrors that are being visited upon kids who have barely had a chance even to make any foolish mistakes yet.
I've been bullied. I've got the scars on my body and a broken piece of pencil stuck in my wrist always to remind me of it, not to mention the psychological repercussions that undoubtedly still shape me today. And I'm mostly considered normal! Bullies are not misguided kids. Bullies are sociopathic and vicious criminals who should be treated like it, regardless of their age. Because you know what happens when you let bullies get away with such crap in their youth? They grow up to pass laws telling other people what they can't do with their lives. They abuse spouses and coworkers. They spew hatred, intolerance, and condemnation everywhere as adults because they never suffered any restrictions upon that behavior as children. I say no.
Don't dismiss bullying as something that kids can work out on their own. Don't think it's not happening to your child or sibling or friend. Don't convince yourself that some kid you know couldn't be a bully just because that's what you want to believe. Deal with the truth. Make our future a better place by weeding out the poisonous influences before they get more powerful. Being a bully should be considered no more acceptable than being a murderer or rapist. The results from all three are often the same.
I think that is the way to slow and stem the tide of teen suicides. It is helpful to tell a suffering youth that the possibility of a better life exists, though I think it's better to concentrate on what's possible for the youths than your own personal dramas. But it is tremendously more productive to fight against the real monsters that are making these youths' lives miserable in the first place. It's better actually to make things better than merely to make a promise of it.
I'm not… I'm not entirely against suicide as an option, frankly. I understand it as an escape. I understand it as an action that someone can take and control, perhaps as the only thing that some otherwise-helpless youths can see as a thing they can choose to do. But every suicide ripples and affects waves upon waves of other people around them. Every suicide diminishes every one of us. Every suicide is a failure of humanity to be better than stupid, violent apes. So, I don't admonish anyone who commits or considers committing suicide. I get it. When you feel like you can't control anything else in your awful life, this is something you can control and it bears the promise of relief from the torture. I get it. But even though I don't begrudge anyone considering that option, I would plead for them to ask for help instead.
We are all of us more connected now than ever before. There is the internet, there are community centers, there are churches and temples and mosques, there are student groups, there are celebrity spokespeople, there are even sympathetic TV shows! Please reach out and keep reaching out until someone reaches back. Because there are those of us who want to and who will. And whatever anyone else tells you, we love you. We love.
I don't know many resources well enough to recommend them, but I like what I found at http://makeitbetterproject.org and offer you that as one place you can go to get help or offer help to others. http://www.thetrevorproject.com is another great resource, endorsed by Ellen and some friends of mine.

New year, new you! Hilary Duff is about to ring in 2016 with a whole new look!
The singer and actress decided to trim down her normally long, blonde locks and rock a freshly chopped bob for the holidays this year, taking to Instagram to show off her new 'do.
"Soooo it's pretty short," she captioned the sepia-toned pic. "Thank you @cynthiavanis chopping."
As you can tell from the photo below, Duff's blonde tresses—which she would often wear in long, loose curls by her shoulders—now hit just above her chin, looking healthy and thick as ever!
Her hairstyle, Cynthia Vanis, tells E! News, "Hilary was itching to shed her locks but we couldn't due to the fact that the we were in the middle of shooting season 2 of Younger. So about 7 minutes after her picture wrap from the show we cut about 6 inches off, just to bite the bullet. (Not scary at all)."
She added, "Then I cut the length chin level. After then we styled and took a little bit of the bulk out of the super blunt look by texturizing the ends. It's an incredibly liberating way to freshen up your look. And knowing Hilary, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that the color might change."
Meanwhile, this is just one of the many hair changes Duff has made over the last few years. From rocking turquoise and blue "mermaid hair" to bright pink and purple locks for her "Sparks" music video, a long bob and even some gray, transforming her tresses is nothing new for the former Disney star.
Her often changing appearance might be due to her new outlook on life after splitting from her husband, Mike Comrie, in 2014. The two called it quits after marrying in 2010, but have remained amicable and continue to co-parent their son, Luca, together.
Since the split, Hilary has made it a point to focus on herself and her career. Not only did she drop a new album and join a new television show, but she also centered on self-love, often discussing body image and confidence.
"I'm the worst dieter ever so I don't have the best body, but I'm proud of my body and I'm, like, accepting of what it is," Duff told E! News exclusively in April. "I'm not ever going to be 110 pounds again, so working with what you got and just trying to feel strong and powerful. I think is a good motto for a mom who's 27."
She added, "It's been a big year for me obviously. Everyone knows a lot of what goes on in my personal life and thank God I have exciting things happening in my professional life as well, like the show and my record. My record's finally done. So I'm really excited for whatever adventure is in my future. I think it's going to be exciting."
And now new hair to boot!

In this relatively short blog, the linearity of the individual pixels will be checked. Up to now, in the previous blogs, a window of 50 x 50 pixels was taken into account to evaluate the "average" non-linearity of these 2500 pixels. Because the data of all individual pixels is available as well, it can be a helpful exercise to check the non-linearity of each individual pixel.
The results shown in this discussion refer to the measurements done with a camera gain=1, linearity check between 10% and 90 % of saturation, and with exposure times used up to 60 ms to saturate the sensor (see also previous blogs).
Figure 1 shows the average integral non-linearity (INL) for all the 2500 pixels, as well as the maximum value and the minimum value of the INL that can be found with one of the 2500 pixels (maximum and minimum value do not have to come from the same pixel !).
Figure 1 : Camera output (left axis) and INL (right axis) for an sensor output range between 10 % and 90 % of saturation and a sensor/camera gain setting equal to 1.
As can be seen from the figure, all the worse case INL values of these 2500 pixels nicely follow the trend of the average value. Another analysis that leads to the same conclusion can be found in figure 2. Here the maximum and the minimum deviation of each pixel is shown.
Figure 2 : Maximum and minimum INL value of the 2500 different pixels.
Conclusion : All pixels within the region of interest behave more or less the same as far as INL is concerned. So it is safe to evaluate the INL by means of the average behaviour of the 2500 pixels belonging to the ROI of interest.
Next time the non-linearity of small signals (between 0 % and 10 % of saturation and between 90 % and 100 % of saturation) will be checked.

RadoGoji (1993)
Suit 12 – Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla (1993)
Though similar in appearance to its' predecessor, the 1993 Godzilla suit was bulkier, particularly in profile, while the head appeared to be wider than the 1989/1991 and 1992 suits. The problem of the arm joints for the 1992 Godzilla suit was corrected for the 1993 costume, but the shoulders on the latter suit appeared to be smaller. Moreover, the legs of the 1993 costume were slimmer and lacked detail, while the tail was placed a bit higher than on the previous costumes. These latter factors unfortunately caused the 1993 Godzilla suit to appear top-heavy from certain angles. As with the 1992 Godzilla suit, the head of the 1993 costume could tilt independently of the body. The 1993 Godzilla suit was also employed for the "Monster Planet of Godzilla" 3-D amusement park ride which opened in Japan in March 1994.
In Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, the 1993 Godzilla suit was used for Godzilla's entrance and exit at Birth Island, and when Space Godzilla levitates Godzilla and hurls him into a building. The 1993 Godzilla was again employed for water scenes in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995). This time, the suit was modified to match the critical mass appearance of the main filming suit (see next entry). Since the costume would only be seen waist-deep in the water, the legs and tail were removed, as was previously done with the 1992 suit for Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla.

Mission to Protect
The Gallagher's Army: Fallen Officer Fund, based in Dallas, was founded by Mike Gallagher and inspired by the giving spirit of his late wife, Denise Gallagher, to meet the immediate needs of U.S. police officer families when an officer has been killed in the line of duty. The fund provides financial assistance to officer families when they need it most – as soon as a tragedy happens – without having to wait for weeks or months for other more formal assistance to become available, and without the hassle of bureaucracy and red tape that often exists.
Why We Serve
As a national radio personality with a loyal audience, Gallagher's Army was initially an outgrowth of Gallagher's desire to help others, and it was quickly supported by his nearly 4 million weekly listeners. In early 2004, Gallagher received a call on his radio show to help military families. Having long been a supporter of charitable causes, Gallagher was moved by the situation and put out a call for help to his listeners. They came through quickly and in a big way and proceeded to fill tractor-trailer loads of food and gift items through a partnership with Feed the Children of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Gallagher knew he had uncovered something special and founded Gallagher's Army: The Mike Gallagher Show Charitable Foundation shortly after.
In 2008, when his wife, Denise, passed away after a year-long battle with endometrial cancer, another motivational and well-timed call from an Indiana listener, prompted Gallagher to reinvigorate the fund in her memory. When this Indiana caller told Gallagher her story about a fallen police officer and not having access to immediate funds for the funeral and more, Gallagher felt compelled to rally the troops and decided to refocus his charitable organization specifically to help fallen police officer families. The original philanthropic effort has now evolved into Gallagher's Army: Fallen Officer Fund, and is targeted at providing immediate financial assistance to family members of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
Become a First Responder
Gallagher's Army: Fallen Officer Fund is committed to helping police officer families in their time of need whether they're in Indiana or Alabama. Providing contributions to help protect the families of those who protect Americans on a daily basis is a contribution we can all feel proud of. Together we can accomplish so much more and give back to those who have dedicated their lives and ultimately paid the highest price to protect and serve our communities across the nation.
The Need:
When signing on "to protect and serve," an officer knows he may one day be putting his life on the line, but too often a tragedy occurs and an officer pays the ultimate price. While statistics show that violent and property crime rates in the United States are at all-time lows, thanks to the dedication of men and women in law enforcement, the family that loses a loved one – often times the main income source – benefits greatly from a helping hand. Our mission is to help the families of those killed in the line of duty and offer them the peace of mind that there will be financial assistance at the ready when they need it.
The facts nationwide are sobering, but your donation can go a long way to help these families in need.
On average, a U.S. law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty every 53 hours.1
According to the Nearly 19,000 law enforcement officers have been killed in the line of duty since 1792.2
According to the U.S. Department of Justice Uniform Crime Report:
Police officer deaths:
- 109 in 2008
- 95 in 2009
States with the highest level of fatalities:
- Texas has led the nation in police fatalities for the last four years
- New York, Florida and California are other leading states with police fatalities
Two leading causes of death:
- Gunfire
- Automobile accident
Average age at time of death:
- Age 37 in 2008
- Age 39 in 2009

Rockets GM Daryl Morey said he moved rapidly to change coaches 11 games into the season in an effort to turn around the team's season before it became a lost cause, as the executive explained via Quora
"Obviously, given this history the decision to change coaches was not taken lightly. Our team was reeling at the time of the change — in just our first 11 games we had lost multiple games to nonplayoff teams, including two at home, and none of the losses were close, most were double-digit losses. In the West, you basically can't do that for any stretch of the season and still reach our goals for the season. The prior year, for example, we had only two losses at home to nonplayoff teams the whole season — we had already done it in only two-plus weeks. I believed that if we waited until what would be considered a normal timetable to make a change that it would likely be too late. Our only focus is on winning and I felt a material change was necessary."
Here's more from out West:
- Kevin Durant is arguably the top available prize available in the free agent market this summer, and while he has yet to make up his mind about next season, Wanda Pratt, Durant's mother, says he's loyal to the Thunder organization, Ben Standig of CSN Mid-Atlantic.com relays. "I don't know what his ultimate decision will be," Pratt said of her son. "Where he's going to end [up] playing has still not been decided by him. He's still playing in the playoffs as everyone knows. I don't know [his plans] so don't say Mama Durant said [he's coming to Washington] because I didn't say that. He's focused on the playoffs right now and he's pretty loyal to the Thunder with regards to that. When the time comes, he'll make a decision best for him."
- Suns GM Ryan McDonough said the team didn't formally interview anyone aside from Earl Watson but instead took two and a half months to examine coaching candidates, tweets Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic. Phoenix officially named Watson head coach earlier today, removing his interim tag.
- The best free agent fit for Dwight Howard is likely to be the Mavericks, who can offer the center the more focal role he craves as well as provide an owner in Mark Cuban who can deflect negative attention, Jonny Auping of RealGM opines. The big man would in turn give the franchise the athletic center it has been seeking, Auping adds. Howard is expected to opt out of his contract this summer and become an unrestricted free agent.

Northern Ireland coeliac-friendly bakery lands a £220k contract to supply Tesco
A small Northern Ireland bakery has won a £220,000 deal to supply gluten-free goods to Tesco.
Moditions, which started out in Christine Shaw's kitchen, will provide cakes and soda bread mix to an initial 15 stores here.
The company joins Rule of Crumb - also in Co Antrim - in meeting the growing demand for gluten-free food products.
Moditions, which is based in Randalstown, was set up two years ago by Christine, who wanted to make gluten-free baked goods for her coeliac husband.
Her coffee cake, jam and coconut cake, sticky tealoaf and Irish soda bread mix will be sold in Tescos from this week, coinciding with National Coeliac Awareness Week.
Christine said: "All of the recipes are simply old, traditional favourites, tweaked and altered slightly to make them coeliac-friendly. We source all ingredients locally where possible and make our own jams on-site."
Sean Largey, commercial manager for Tesco Northern Ireland, added that demand was growing among consumers for 'free-from' ranges from companies such as Moditions.
The news came as Rule of Crumb - a food company set up by business partners Colum McLornan and Claire Hunter, who also run the Marine Hotel in Ballycastle - said its share of the market was growing.
The business is now supplying goods from muffins, breads and pies to breaded chicken goujons, fish fingers and chicken Kievs.
Its chicken products are made by Premier Poultry in Downpatrick and stockists include online grocer Ocado and Booths Supermarkets, which has 29 stores in England, as well as independents and butchers in Northern Ireland.
It has also exported its goods as far way as France, Malta, the Middle East and Asia.
Mr McLornan said: "We are experiencing a huge increase in enquiries from all over the world for our gluten-free products. People are demanding a range of quality products which taste as good as the real thing."
Claire Hunter was named Belfast Telegraph Woman of the Year in Business in 2014.
