During the annual state-of-the-nation address in November last year, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev proposed what was seen as an unorthodox idea. Russia, he said, should seriously consider reducing the number of time zones that crisscross the length and breadth of the country. The concept raised a furious debate in Internet circles. But during the same speech, Medvedev announced another idea, a plan to transform Russia into a 'powerful center for research and development.' Now that thought sparked some positive attention.
Unlike the time zones idea, which fizzled, establishing Russia as a research center is the President's pet project. Technological innovation has always been at the forefront of Medvedev's vision. So the President really means business when he states that Russia will build its own Silicon Valley. And to punctuate his intent, he will visit the original Silicon Valley in San Jose, California later this month.
Skolkovo near Moscow is the proposed location for the new Russian Silicon Valley, an area that will have its own tax structure, and police and customs department. Currently known for hosting one of Russia's premier business management schools, Skolkovo will focus on research and innovation in five sectors: energy, biotechnology, information technology, telecommunications and nuclear technology. And Medvedev can't wait for it to begin functioning. "We will build it in a place where we already have the solid groundwork for doing it quickly. Speed is of particular importance," he told Reuters.
Already, he has submitted a draft legislation for the Skolkovo region to the State Duma. In addition, in an amendment to the housing law, Medvedev has promised to reward innovative projects with free land.
Not all share Medvedev's enthusiasm though. Critics, like Vladimir Ryzhkov, an opposition politician, have said that this kind of single-minded focus on the knowledge economy comes at the cost of deflecting attention from some of Russia's more serious problems, such as rampant corruption, deteriorating living standards, and an economy which plummeted 7.9% last year. But it was Russia's dependence on resources like oil, gas and metals that led to the kind of crash witnessed in 2009. Diversification of the nation's economy is one way to help reduce Russia's reliance on its exports sector.
For years now, Russia has struggled to establish itself at the forefront of innovation. Remember, in Russia, there always hangs the sword of suspicion – the government involvement and influence. The original Silicon Valley thrived because it was allowed the freedom to create; it established an open culture of innovation, and an entrepreneurial culture. Russia has the individuals to create such a culture, with human resources capital comprised of many of the world's best engineers, technicians and IT experts. But Russia's venture capital infrastructure remains weak, and government interference is always a worrisome issue.
But these obstacles, apparently, do not deter Medvedev. Vladislav Surkov, the Russian President's deputy chief of staff, and the overseer for the Skolkovo project, mused to Vedomosti, "The appearance of great ideas, like life itself, is still considered a miracle." Medvedev's idea is to create the environment for such a miracle, if his pet project may so be called. These may be baby steps, but Medvedev's forthcoming visit to Silicon Valley may be one giant leap for Russian innovation.

IMPORTANT! The New Survivalist Prepper Academy Is Now Open!
Preparedness Courses
Have a look at what courses we currently have available. We try to create a new module or course every week so if you have something you would like us to create like a course or add to a current course let us know in the comments below.
Prepping 101
Prepping 101 goes through all of the steps you need to take when you are just beginning your preparedness journey.
Starting from the very beginning we go into the prepper mindset. As we progress through the course we dig into supplies, organization and all the other keys to survival.
Primitive Skills
Learn about water procurement, water filtering, hunting and trapping food and building shelter in this course on primitive skills.
These skills are not only useful in a wilderness setting, but they could be useful in an urban setting as well.
Living Off the Grid
This course is going to be huge! So we decided that it is going to be an ongoing course.
We will go through everything from alternative energy to canning food. We'll have more details soon.
Bugging Out
We are currently working on a course about bugging out. This course will go through everything you need to know about bugging out from picking the right location to having the right supplies. This course is exclusively for members and is almost complete. Not all of the courses are done but we are working on them quickly.
HAM Radio & Communications
Ham radio might be a very useful skill to have in a post collapse situation. We will also go over some other forms of off the grid communications.
Coming soon...
First Aid Course
This course goes through everything from what first aid is, the the supplies you need, to how to use them.
In Progress...
Navigation & Map Reading
Navigation involves more than just being lost in the woods. You could find yourself in an urban setting needing to bug in, meaning you need to get from where you are to your home of bug out location.
Take the mystery out of how an orienteering compass works and even how to find your position on a map by using re-section or triangulation.
Everything Water
Water is sometimes an overlooked part of prepping. Storing water is the easy part but knowing about what you need to do to make water safe and the difference between basic filtering and purification could save your life.
Link Coming Soon.
Food & Food Storage
This course will go over everything you need to know about food and food storage. Food and water are 2 of the most important parts of survival.
Coming Soon...
What course should we do next?

With long lines, security headaches, cramped seating and fees, flying isn't something many people relish these days, but Jenny Burns holds a special place in her heart for air travel.
"I feel like all the significant moments happened on a plane," she says — like finding the love of her life on a Southwest Airlines flight to St. Louis.
In November 2008, she was in the seventh-row window seat when Rob Burns boarded and scanned the plane for a seat.
"She looked up and smiled," he says. "I remember thinking, she's pretty cute."
Rob took the middle seat, and they struck up a conversation.
Jenny Beaudine was studying journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and Rob was headed back to the University of Missouri-Rolla.
"We just talked the whole time," says Jenny, who teaches at Lakeview Centennial High School in Garland.
It turned out they had grown up about 10 minutes away from each other in Plano. She graduated from Plano West in 2005; he finished at Plano East in 2003.
At flight's end, Rob said he'd like to get together at the Christmas break, so they exchanged numbers.
It wasn't until after Rob's graduation and move back to Plano that they were able to make a date at Easter while Jenny was home.
They went to see the Randy Rogers Band at Lone Star Park.
"All I remember is being with him and soaking in the moment," says Jenny, 26. "We had a really passionate kiss at the end of the night. He just knocked my socks off."
After the date, "I woke my parents up and said, 'I'm going to marry this man.'"
Rob was easy to be with, and when he met her family and friends, he fit right in.
"Rob is fantastic with people and relationships," Jenny says.
Rob gave her a ride to the airport when she was returning to school. Before she left, he handed her a composite picture of himself, suggesting she use it as a bookmark. She tucked it into her book.
While reading on the plane, she noticed something scrawled on the back.
"I'm so glad I chose that middle seat," Rob had written.
"He became more perfect every second," Jenny says.
From then until her graduation, they talked on the phone every day.
"It forced us to build a relationship," says Rob, 28.
She moved to an apartment in Austin Ranch, and Rob joined her there in November 2009. There was an adjustment period.
"When she showed up after moving from Missouri, the truck would have held enough for a family of five," says Rob, who works for HKS Architects as business development specialist-sports. He's helped her be more organized, says Jenny, who admits she's messy.
"I'm kind of a clean freak," Rob says. "Always assume that your grandparents are going to drop in and check your underwear drawer."
Jenny has taken the edge off of Rob. "I taught Rob how to let things go," she says. "Not everything is serious."
His proposal plan was, though.
Jenny's father introduced Rob to the jeweler who had made her mother's ring. Rob planned to pop the question on a plane to Cabo San Lucas, where Jenny's parents would join them for a vacation.
They were sipping mimosas on the plane when Rob turned to Jenny. "Make me the happiest man," he said as he gave her the ring. "Marry me."
Jenny cried, the flight attendant made an announcement and everyone clapped.
They were married at the Heights Church's chapel in Richardson on Nov. 17, 2012. Their Mad Men-themed reception included cigarette girls clad as midcentury Pan Am stewardesses, who passed out candy cigarettes and honey-roasted peanuts.
About a month and a half later, the couple learned that they are expecting a daughter in October.
"We wanted to travel. We wanted to wait four years," Jenny says. "But that's OK, we'll travel with Emma."

Ginger and Dark Chocolate Biscuits
February 3, 2009
So I finally got round to it, to them, to making those ginger biscuits as I promised, oh, ages ago. And what a chore it was, at first.
Not just one, or two, but three shop assistants in my local supermarket didn't have a clue what treacle was or where it lived in the store. One sent me to Sweets where there were screaming 4 year-olds. Another said it was in Foreign Foods. Another just shrugged and carried on stacking shelves.
But I had to find it. Without treacle there would be no biscuits, no dark exotic tang, mineral-rich, straight from the Caribbean.
It was by pure happenstance that I stumbled on it underneath Cake Decorations where an immensely tall and thin woman – an academic judging by her glasses and woollen skirt – was moving slowly from one leg to the other and humming to herself. Maybe she was dancing, in a bookish, otherworldly way. I never realised Cake Decorations were that exciting. Maybe I need to get out more.
So I grabbed the red tin with the gold lion crest, Lyle's Black Treacle, whisked through checkout and onto the Tube, which was packed. I made the mistake of listening to Leona Lewis bleeding away, which always makes me want to weep copiously, and then tried to cheer myself up with Prince 'Strollin". Luckily that worked. I was clickin' my fingers, in that annoying way ipod listeners do, by the time I got in. Dumped the shopping, turned on the oven and began to heat the butter.
At which point everything changed. The warm scent of melting butter is like nothing on earth. The treacle and then the golden syrup behaved very badly and had to scooped off the spoon with my finger, which then had to be licked. And the dark 70% cocoa chocolate melted everywhere and somehow ended up all around my mouth. The smell of baking, essence of home, chocolate, ginger and molasses, filled the kitchen.
Now I know that every food writer tells you how they 'ate the whole batch'. How they were going to save a few for their spouse but couldn't resist them. All I can say is No Way. These are far too rich, too snappy at the edges and gooey in the middle, for that.
I had 4. OK, maybe 6. Or 7. Who's counting? More to the point, there are still plenty left for a last minute snack before bed. And – who knows? – maybe even for breakfast.
Ginger and Dark Chocolate Biscuits
75g butter
75g dark brown sugar
150g golden syrup
2tbs black treacle
300g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp ground ginger
50g stem ginger, finely chopped
50g dark chocolate
Set the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Over a low heat gently melt the butter, treacle, sugar and golden syrup. When the final golden knob of butter has dissolved, turn off the heat and sift in all the dry ingredients. Stir well into a moist dough.
Add the chopped stem ginger and with a sharp knife flake in the dark chocolate. It will end up in lumps of all sizes. No matter. Lick your fingers, 'cos they'll need it.
I had to make the biscuits in 2 lots. For each batch, lightly butter a couple of oven trays and lay out little balls of the dough, each about a teaspoonful. Make sure they are well spaced apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Let the biscuits cool slightly in the trays before you lift them gently out with a spatula. They will still be very moist, but crisp up rapidly as they cool.
A tip: don't overdo the bicarbonate. I put in a teaspoonful the first time I made these, and that was overpowering.
And another tip: for really gingery biscuits, grate in a about an inch – or more – of fresh ginger. (Use the fine side of the grater. You'll be left holding a wodge of pulp, which you'll need to chuck.)

For the French girl I am, it would certainly be very challenging to try to find all these ingredients.
Treacle, what a strange word whose french translation is so weird :
"mélasse raffinée", two so opposite words.
"Mélasse" evokes some images like mud whereas "raffinee" calls to mind images like salt and delicacy.

Hmmm, that was interesting. Looks like somethings will always remain mystery.
I myself has been trying to solve the mystery of the legend that forces you to have "earn it before
having it", for a wile now. Could not understand much though.
Let me know in case you get to understand the mystery of the Old Hound and the Legend
By the way, good writing style. I'd love to read more on similar topics

Will try the recipe and let u know the outcome

Sophie : Changeling the Dreaming
Changeling the Dreaming
It isn't often that I get to be the player lately. Although I've been anxious to try games like Fiasco and Mythic, which supposedly allow games that don't have a Storyteller/Game Master handling things, I haven't really had the chance to be the player in a game for a number of years. This was a Sunday which had me home alone and two friends came over to try playing Lacuna. Half an hour later, after aborting the mission due to intense heart palpitations and overwhelming levels of stress, the game closed with a not so happy ending. Of the two players present, one had to head on home, leaving me and my good friend Mahar left wondering what to do next. Lo and behold, Mahar offered to run me a game, and I was definitely excited to take a stab at it again.
The game was to be set in the modern day. I decided to go for a concept I had peculating for some time in my head ever since I saw Skyfall and Notes on a Scandal: I wanted to play a Boggan grump based on Dame Judi Dench.
Sophie Lessway was born. Newly Chrysalised, Sophie was still deeply engaged by her mortal retirement that Kithain politics was boring and frustrating to her. While she understood the importance of the Houses and the need for politics, she felt that she had devoted so much of her life to being of service to others that she wanted to embrace her old age as a chance to just be herself and do what she wanted to do. From being a house helper during her younger years to pay for her medical studies (her parents had left her a large but not overwhelming inheritance), she eventually became a care giver, and from the kindness and devotion she showed one old woman, she ended up inheriting the woman's millions when she died. Now wealthy and retired, Sophie purchased the Home that she moved into once she realized she needed assistance with some activities of daily living, and spent most of her days taking picnics, visiting libraries, or chatting up with strangers at her favorite cafe.
Little did she know her Chysalis from human to one of the changelings would affect her so deeply. She adorned the gifts of the Arts, but greatly resented her innate ability to read the social dynamics of a gathering. Knowing who hated whom and who lied to whom was a terrible ordeal she could not even close her eyes from seeing. The frailty of needing to be of assistance to anyone who asked for help even made matters worse, making her feel once more trapped into the service of others.
Sophie finds herself having a visitor; a spunky young girl who annoys her and insults her, and ends the conversation by identifying herself as a messenger of the reigning nobleman in charge and that she was being requested to come "as you are." Annoyed, Sophie searches through her old dresses and the staff hand her other old gowns and dresses that they have had through the years. Uncertain which one to wear, she decides to head to the cafe to find her Dreamer, a young writer named Elmo, to get his opinion on the matter.
She finds him speaking with the messenger, who once more pushes the right buttons to rile her up. The two verbally spar for a while, and once the young Satyr leaves, Sophie rants to Elmo about it, only to be rebuffed by Elmo's belief in the young lady's words that Sophie was her grand mother and that Sophie would naturally want to disassociate herself with her. Hurt that Elmo would trust the young beautiful girl over her, Sophie walked out and decided to come up with her own dress to wear. She visited a number of shops to buy the cloth and articles she needed, then spent the next few nights doing months worth of work to create a dress which she felt captured her identity. The dress she crafted was like an onion, with various layers which depicted different instances in her life - from her time as a house helper, to the time she was a nurse, and eventually a final outfit which she felt was a good way to end any political or service-related discussion. She then made arrangements at the home and with other friends, handling them post-dated checks if not envelops of cash to "handle affairs while I'm gone. I have no clear idea when I am returning after all."
The night of the party came. Sophie headed to the location listed in the invitation, which showed an old church in the center of their community. She hands the church a huge donation, then slides into the confessional to take the necessary trod. The trod leads her into the near dreaming, and there she finds the annoying young wilder waiting for her again. Their banter is different how, as it seems many are making it clear how important a guest she is among the others present. She eventually finds herself asked to step into a room that is populated mostly by the Sidhe, save for a single troll who laughs along with them. When she tries to slip back out, she leans that the troll is the Baron of the location who had invited her over, and that he wanted to offer her a job. Knowing most of the Sidhe were too preoccupied with their own trivial affairs, the Baron needed someone who had the keen mind to handle any changeling affairs that tip-toed towards mortal issues. Sophie questioned if she is really suited for the job, and the Troll noble-man mused how among all the guests, she alone understood what was expected of their outfits. "Show me the dresses then, that they do not go to waste."
Sophie presented each dress, telling him about her lives through the years as a servant, or as a care giver, and in the end, stripped away the final dress to reveal a pure white business suit underneath. She pulled her collar closed tighter, then agreed to do the job even as the Troll threw some clearly seductive remarks her way. Of course, she realized eventually, the Troll was of House Fiona. And if she were lucky, Sophie would get through all these things with her sanity intact.
Not bad for a one shot.
I had hoped to have some fun with my Arts, or even just throw around some "This is the power of a massive collection force" but clearly, the two were not going to be in the game. But man, that was fun. I tried recording the audio of the game but afterwards, listening to it, I realized I could barely hear Mahar, the storyteller, 2) I had NO intentions of resharing what sounded like me doing a VERY VERY BAD JUDI DENCHI, 3) And lastly, I will need a proper microphone to do this better.
Anyway, keep the dice rolling folks!

Yeah… that's why. The camera was on her about as much as it was on her boyfriend, AJ last night. Dude wins his second straight national title and all Brent Musburger can embarrassingly do is drool all over his girlfriend. Sure, she's smoking hot, but good grief Brent, you're 73… act like you've been there before.
Katherine Webb is the reigning Miss Alabama winner. The guys at Busted Coverage broke the news that she was dating AJ and that she's an Auburn grad. That's a major no-no in the South, right? Too pretty for anybody to get mad at AJ about it, I guess. A few weeks ago, she had about 1K twitter followers. Before the BCS title game last night? She had about 10k. Now? She's got over 129K. That's crazy.
Some great shenanigans went down with her and the rich and famous. Lebron James followed her, only to be berated by all of twitter for doing so… so he then unfollowed her. Whoops. Looks like you're guilty now, even though all you did was do what everybody else was doing. Either way, it led to this meme.
I laughed. More shenanigans with AJ and his girl to come…

Extensive flashfloods. Intense climate conditions. Successive calamities. Diminishing natural resources. Energy and water crisis. Hazardous waste and overflowing dumps. Most people are beginning to be aware of that all these issues faced by developed cities today are caused by man, including the effects of climate change said to be initiated by reckless decisions of the individual and the collective. With the scope of these issues, the typical motto of reduce, reuse, recycle may not be sufficient. The solution should be considerably more consistent and centralised, and the cooperation of industries that consume most of the world's resources, like large industrial businesses, is highly important.
With the ecological preservation vision in mind, most progressive governments today are requesting construction officials to come up with an environmental management plan for their corporation and with every project they construct. In most states, failure to adhere to environmental construction laws may result in fines, revoked licenses and court prosecution. Mainly because the payback of building construction assignments without having an earth-friendly direction can be disastrous. The nearby communities, the construction workers, the future occupants or users of the structure being developed can be put to danger without a well-drafted and integrated construction environmental management plan. Land, water, air and other natural resources are also at risk under irresponsible construction practices.
While the environmental plan takes longer time, effort and extensive information to draft, construction officers can simply buy environmental management plan formats from a trusted expert. There's no explanation for failing to create a comprehensive and 100% compliant form as all they need to do is to download the template and fill the blanks with details readily available from their data files.It is best to search for a CEMP specialist or team of experts who can provide efficient and practical solutions, and every construction company can get their own CEMP for every project straight away.
If you're a construction manager in need of environmental plan methods, the following are some of the major things to remember:
– Time element. Will the design be provided and ready to implement in the quickest time possible?
– Compliance. Are the reports up to date with the latest and relevant state and territory legislation?
– Customisation. Can it be modified to fit the current project you have existing and can be arranged with your company's over-arching construction safety principles?
– Budget. Are the plans obtainable for a price that is manageable and feasible with your allocated project budget?
– Customer assistance. Should you have after-sales questions or clarifications, will you be able to get in touch with a customer service agent for assistance at any time?
With the strict execution of their construction environmental management plans, construction companies can do their significant part in helping today's mission of building healthy, earth-friendly, and developed communities.

GamesNostalgia is not like the other retrogaming & abandonware websites. From those sites you normally download files that cannot run on your computer, unless you install the proper emulator first.
GamesNostalgia instead wants to make your life easier. All the games you download from this site have been tested, configured and packaged with the proper emulator so that they can run on your computer with just one click.
GamesNostalgia is also the only site supporting both Mac and PC. Infact for each game we always create two different packages: one for Windows and one for Mac. This is something that not even commercial stores like Steam or GOG do.
GamesNostalgia is mostly dedicated to old computer games therefore we support different platforms, including MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MSX, Windows 3.x and more. Have a look at the game browser to see all the different platforms.
For all these old computer formats, we found a way to configure and "pack" the games so that you can play them easily. These files already include the required emulator. We also have a few games released after 1995 that are running directly on Windows, without emulator.
As already mentioned, you will find the game in 2 different versions, one for PC (or Windows) and one for Mac. Just choose your system, download the file and play. In case you need some more info, just keep reading...
We use the 7zip format whenever possible. It's important that you use the proper software to uncompress the 7zip archives. We strongly recommend 7zip manager (for Windows) or Keka (for Mac).
Important: if you haven't used Keka or 7zip and you have problems with the game, download it again and this time extract the archive using one of these two applications.
In most cases, the games you will download are old files that cannot run natively on your modern Windows OS. But GamesNostalgia prepared special packages that already include all the emulators required, so that you can easily play the game on your Windows 7, 8 or higher. You just need to unzip the archive (the file downloaded from our site) into a folder (for example C:\OldGames\), then open the folder and search for the launcher, it's a disk-like icon normally with the name of the game (e.g. "PrinceOfPersia" or "Launch_PrinceOfPersia"). Double click this icon and the game will start automatically.
You will also find some more recent games that don't require emulators. In this case the game runs natively on your Windows system, so you won't find our "Launch" icon. You will find the exe or the installer prepared by the original developer.
If you find these games on GamesNostalgia, it means we have tested them and they work, but since they are old, we cannot guarantee they will work on all versions of Windows. Windows 10 especially is known to create problems.
If you have a Mac and the mac version of your game is available on GamesNostalgia, you are very lucky. Our package is compatible with all the recent versions of OS X (Sierra, Maverick etc). You just need to extract the archive you have downloaded (using Keka). Inside you will find a folder that contains a Mac application, a README and possibly other files such as manuals.
Important! This folder is normally read-only, so before launching the game, drag & drop the game icon (just the game icon, not the entire folder) to a different folder (Applications will be fine, but also Desktop, or OldGames). After that, you can double click the icon to start the game. Sometimes the game starts, but Saving doesn't work, it's because the folder is read-only: move the game icon to another folder.
You will be happy to know that our Mac packages are not just for Amiga or MS-DOS games. We also "pack" Windows games using an emulator (Wine). In most cases this improves the situation because the emulator can run old Windows games better than Windows 10 itself.
Do you already have your emulators installed and don't want to use our packages? No problem, just choose the Windows version, unzip the archive and ignore (or delete) the emulator folder, e.g. DOSBOX. Save the game in your "OldGames" folder and open it with your emulator. Same thing if your machine is running Linux.
If you need more info about retrogaming emulators like DOSBox, check our Emulators section.
Not enough? Have a look at the FAQ section! If you need more help don't hesitate to contact us. Have fun and spread the love for retrogaming!

One electron makes all the difference
|(Nanowerk News) A research team from the department of condensed matter physics of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid working in collaboration with the research group lead by professor Christian Schoenenberger at the University of Basel in Switzerland, have discovered that just an electron sets the conductive properties of a carbon nanotube.
|Since their discovery in 1991, carbon nanotubes have continually fascinated physicists and chemists with their amazing electronic and mechanical properties.
|These cylindrical molecules with a radius of a few Angstroms and with lengths of up to several micrometers have endless applications inside different scientific fields from nanoelectronics to material science, and are used by scientists to study a wide range of physical phenomena that only take place at a nanometric scale. The combination of nanotubes and other materials form hybrid structures and these are of particular interest. For example, carbon nanotubes connected to superconductive electrodes (materials that offer no electrical resistance at low temperatures) are currently being used to study exotic physical phenomena like the Josephson Effect. This Nobel Prize winning discovery made by physicist Brian D. Josephson in 1973 consists of the almost magic effect of producing an electrical current in a superconductive junction without the application of a voltage.
|In the last two three years several research groups have demonstrated that in a carbon nanotube held in between superconducting electrodes, the Josephson effect can be controlled at will, making possible a superconductive version of a transistor. This discovery has endless possibilities, most of which have barely started to be investigated.
|A research group from the UAM working in collaboration with a research team lead by Christian Schoenenberger of Basilea University, has recently published an article in the Physical Review Letters, where a new phenomenon that takes place within these nanotube-superconductor structures has been described (" Even-Odd Effect in Andreev Transport through a Carbon Nanotube Quantum Dot").
|Demonstrating that carbon nanotubes truly are an endless supply of new physical phenomena, they have discovered that when a voltage is applied to these hybrid structures, the electric current that flows depends greatly on the number of electrons that are present at the nanotube, and furthermore, whether this number is even or odd has a drastic impact. This new transport phenomenon is caused by subtle interactions between the Spins (magnetic field produced by the electrons as they rotate) of the electrons in the carbon nanotubes - a characteristic which depends on their number and the conducting electrons in the superconductor.

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) Pittsburgh Steelers rookie cornerback Artie Burns insists there's no pressure on him to step in immediately and try to win the starting job.
Burns, the team's first-round pick, is part of a young, revamped Steelers' secondary looking to improve after ranking 30th in the league in passing yards allowed last season. But he has been hampered by a nagging thigh injury in training camp, which will likely cause him to miss Friday's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions at Heinz Field.
''It doesn't matter if I start at all,'' Burns said. ''If it's going to come, it's going to come. I just have to be patient, work hard and when it's there, I have to make sure I take my opportunity, go out there and don't look back.''
The Steelers selected him No. 25 overall in April, the first time the team took a cornerback in the opening round since Chad Scott in 1997. Burns, a former Miami standout, led the ACC with six interceptions last season.
Steelers defensive backs coach Carnell Lake expects Burns to contribute to the defense at some point this season.
''When you draft a first-rounder you have high expectations, and it's no different for Artie,'' Lake said. ''It's up to Artie, ultimately, but we'll do everything we can to get him ready.''
Burns has frequently lined up opposite star wide receiver Antonio Brown during spring practices and again at training camp. He has struggled at times against the two-time All-Pro, but Lake thinks Burns will benefit with Brown as a training partner.
''I think it's great for Artie's development,'' Lake said. ''You can lose confidence quickly and it may hurt your game initially, but for Artie, he seems to enjoy the competition. He's taken some lumps that probably any rookie would against (Brown), but I like the way he approaches it.''
Brown said Burns has the tools to be a great cornerback if he works at it.
''It starts in practice and the film room,'' Brown said. ''He's not scared to compete and that's one thing I love about him. That's the attitude and approach you have to have if you want to help us win.''
Another rookie defensive back, second-round pick Sean Davis, has impressed early in training camp, though he left Wednesday's practice early and had an icepack on his left knee.
Davis, a former Maryland standout with position flexibility, has rotated at safety in addition to first-team slot cornerback after Senquenz Golson, the team's 2015 second-round pick, suffered a midfoot, or Lisfranc, injury that required surgery.
Coach Mike Tomlin is impressed with Davis' conditioning.
''He's one of the few rookies I've seen that really looks like he's come prepared from a conditioning standpoint,'' Tomlin said. ''I think that's the first place that allows him to grow and take extra reps, which accelerates the learning curve.''
Davis also hopes to accelerate the learning curve by spending additional time with Lake.
When Davis isn't taking snaps at safety or slot cornerback, he's behind the play, standing next to Lake, picking up pointers from the five-time Pro Bowler.
''Coach Lake is literally the best coach I ever had,'' Davis said. ''Even when we don't have meetings, I'm in coach Lake's ear.
''He's been there and done that, and he's teaching me, not only how the book does it, but the little things and techniques he knows from experience.''
Lake doesn't mind the additional on-field coaching sessions.
''It's always a good thing when they want to learn and have questions,'' Lake said. ''I'd rather have him there, talking about a particular play. It's good for his development.''
That will only help an evolving secondary looking for big contributions from Burns and Davis.
''They're coming along and progressing well,'' Lake said. ''Eventually, they're going to have to contribute and hopefully it's early.''

Many grandparents play active roles in the upbringing of their grandchildren, see them and often care for them on a regular basis; others have a more relaxed relationship. Either way, it will still be a significant and important relationship for both the child and his or her grandparents.
When your son or daughter decides they want to get divorced, as grandparents you will inevitably want to ensure minimum disruption to your grandchildren, to ensure they remain safe and happy, and to ensure that your relationship with your grandchildren is maintained.
- Your son or daughter will need to make arrangements in respect of what will happen to their finances and their children when they divorce their spouse. Putting the financial issues aside (for more information in respect of finances please refer to the Fact Sheet concerning financial issues), decisions to be made will include:
- Primarily, with whom will the children will live
- When will the children spend time with the parent with whom they do not live
- When will the children spend time with extended family members, including their grandparents
- How will they make decisions as separated parents, in respect of schools, religion and later higher education, travel etc.
- Whilst Parents do not lose parental responsibility if they divorce it is important to be aware that your son or daughter may not have Parental Responsibility for their children; it is not always automatic. If your son or daughter does not have Parental Responsibility for their children, they may gain Parental Responsibility by reaching a Parental Responsibility Agreement with all other holders of Parental Responsibility, or by making an application to the Court for a Parental Responsibility Order (please see our Parental Responsibility Fact Sheet for more detailed information).
- Grandparents cannot gain Parental Responsibility for their grandchildren by virtue of applying for a Parental Responsibility Order.
- Your son or daughter and their spouse (with Parental Responsibility) are responsible, in a legal sense, for making decisions about what is best for their children, and unfortunately grandparents do not have any, what one may term 'rights' to see their grandchildren. That said, in circumstances where arrangements cannot be resolved, there is provision to make an application to the court, and the law recognises the relationship between a grandparent and their grandchild.
- If your son or daughter is unable to reach an agreement with their spouse about the arrangements for your grandchild's care upon divorce, they may apply to the Court for an order in respect of the arrangements for where your grandchild should live and what time they should spend with their other parent. This is known as an application for a Child Arrangements Order.
- Grandparents are not automatically parties to court proceedings concerning their grandchildren, however, grandparents may apply to the Court to be joined as parties to existing proceedings concerning their grandchildren.
- Where there are no existing proceedings, grandparents seeking to apply to the Court for an order in respect of with whom their grandchild should live, or in relation to the time they spend (previously called contact) with their grandchild, require permission of the court unless the child has been living with them for one year immediately preceding the application (or for three years out of the past 5 years). The application for permission can be made along with the application for the order.
- Some grandparents care for their grandchildren for lengthy periods, and in some circumstances they are primary carers. With permission from the court grandparents may apply for a Child Arrangements Order providing for their grandchild to live with them, and spend such time with their parents as is considered to be in the child's interests.
- For grandparents caring for their grandchildren most of the time there is the possibility of applying for a Special Guardianship Order which grants the holder Parental Responsibility to the exclusion of the other holders of Parental Responsibility. It is therefore more draconian than an order a child live with their grandparents but in addition is more stable. Grandparents will usually require the permission of the court before making an application, unless the child has lived with them for one year (or three years out of five years) before making the application and other limited circumstances.
- Since April 2014 any person applying to the family court for an order to regulate the arrangements for a child is required to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) to demonstrate to the court that prior to starting proceedings they have considered Mediation. There are some exceptions to attending a MIAM and this is something your solicitor will be able to discuss with you, as well as assisting you with finding a mediator.

Keeping the Lord's ways, steadfastly. This is something that should increase with time if we're saved. It won't always be a perfectly linear progression, and we'll certainly have seasons of fruitfulness as well as dryness. However, according to scripture, "this is the will of God, your sanctification (1 Thessalonians 4:3)."
If you've been taught that walking down the aisle at church during an alter call, or praying the sinner's prayer, or being baptized was what served as the transaction between you and God in terms of your salvation, you've been misled, unfortunately. We are saved by faith in Christ, and those who are saved will repent and believe, and grow in grace. God bless you if you prayed the sinner's prayer and have been bearing fruit ever since. But, for those who have put their hope in a prayer that they prayed when they were 6 or 7, you've built you hope in something that's not really there. "Bear fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8)."

Illustration Dust interview with Brett Wilkinson
Here is the interview we had a chance to do with Brett Wilkinson and some of his amazing new work. We want to thank Brett for taking the time to answer to our questions and we hope you enjoy his interview.
Please introduce yourself and what you do in no more than four sentences…
My Name's Brett, I'm based in Leicester (UK) and work as an illustrator under the name Onesidezero. My work is bright, fun and minimal and is most often used for products, publications and advertising amongst other things.
When did you know you wanted to be an illustrator/artist? What inspired you? Why Onesidezero?
I never intended to be an illustrator, when I was growing up I wanted to be an artist amongst other things but never really looked at illustration as a career having not been exposed to the world of money which is obviously part of the job, making images to make a living. When I made the choice to pursue illustration I was already studying design and it happened naturally as the two subjects are linked.
I take inspiration for my work from everything around me, people I meet, books, music, photography, nature, travelling and so forth. I don't think there is one source although I often get into the same relaxed mindset when working so I can focus.
The name Onesidezero is really old, it comes from an interest in Mobius Strips which I discovered though my science class at school. These are single sided loops that appear to be impossible, you can make them yourself with paper and if you try to colour just one side you'll end up with both sides coloured in, it's quite strange. I used to scribble them on desks, books, scraps of paper and they stayed constant through my education so I decided to choose Onesidezero to represent my work.
What do you think makes a good illustrator?
Someone who can convey something in their own artistic form, with interesting style and concepts; perhaps not as loosely as a fine-artist or as overly-considered as a designer would which is a nice challenge. What is the best part about what you do?
Coming up with concepts and initial sketches for a project that involves something you previously knew nothing about is pretty good as you learn so much. I also love seeing the final result, when the illustration you've made is finally used on a product or campaign or even when someone purchases a print for their wall. You get a great sense of achievement.
What's a normal day for Brett Wilkinson?
Tricky question as my days aren't generally normal. I do the usual, get up, exercise, have breakfast and travel to my office but after this anything can happen. I might spend weeks making a logo for a client or a couple of days illustrating something for someone, the clients are all different so it's never boring.
When you first started, how did you work out how much to charge for illustration commissions?
I didn't work anything out; people would name a price and agree if I thought it was reasonable otherwise I'd reject the work. It didn't take long before I stopped this way of working as its common for those commissioning you to forget about the other things involved in illustration like research and development, phone calls, materials and other overheads. When you factor all these in the price has to increase for the work to be financially viable, so naming a price is tricky business and unless you are dealing with art directors who know the deal a quote is usually followed by an explanation of charges. It's also vital to consider the value of your work correctly and the financial return your work will place on the client's product or service. I regularly get requests to illustrate for products and upon quoting charges clients are often confused as they expect minimal figures. In reality illustration forms a large part of the consumer's decision for purchase and clients who opt for 'cheaper alternatives' will quickly find they have a very hard time making sales.
What's been your biggest paycheque so far?
About 18cm wide x 9cm high
Do you attend many gallery shows or exhibitions? What was the last one you went to?
Yes but sadly not enough, I'm very keen on visiting exhibitions as you get to experience the work with all your senses rather than viewing a 2D piece in a book or onscreen. The last exhibition I visited was a small photography show although I am planning some big gallery visits this summer.
Apart from illustration, what other things are you into?
I have interests in a whole range of things as I have a fixation on learning new skills. At present I'm into cooking, painting, design and photography and am starting to get into golf, getting back into festivals as it's the summer and I'm also a keen musician having played drums and guitar for most of my adult life so regularly practice both of these whenever time allows.
Who are your favourite artists/designers/illustrators alive or dead?
Herb Lubalin, Keith Tyson, Tim Biskup, Lucinda Rogers, Rankin, Eyvind Earle, Stephen Quiller, Paul Rand, Matisse, Picasso and Mark Boutavant. There are many more but these come to mind today. What's coming up next for Brett Wilkinson? I have a few projects queuing up that include music packaging, a book cover and a print series but new projects often come out of the blue without warning and leave little time to prepare making it quite hard to plan ahead.
How often do you Google your own name?
Everyday but not out of some obsessive need for fame, it's useful for SEO and to know what others are saying about my work. I've found my illustrations posted all over the place with some really nice comments, some people opt to change all the colours of my work and then post them on blogs which is bizarre and others like to write about things I never actually intended my work to represent. I've even found school classes studying my work; it's always interesting to read what people have to say and I'm grateful for the comments.
Agent or no Agent?
At present I'm with YCN but they don't represent artists in the same manner as official agent does, nonetheless they are great to work with. I used to be with an agency that consistently lost work by over-quoting projects but would still consider new representation given a good record. At the moment a lot of people are approaching me directly as a result of seeing my work somewhere so they have usually carefully considered my work for their needs first.
One style or many? Why?
Having one style as an illustrator is beneficial as it gives an art director clarity and confidence in your work as most aren't prepared to take a gamble and prefer to judge commissions on previous projects. If you are a fine artist or designer then you are usually free to explore multiple styles which are often demanded in different projects.
Roast Chicken or Roast beef?
So difficult, each has their occasion. I'd choose Roast Chicken to accompany a nice roast dinner and Roast Beef flavour crisps to accompany a cold beer.
Brett Wilkinson

This is a review of another recording from Ninjaspy which continues their mixture of extreme metal, hardcore, experimental and ska with the ep being self released in 2014 and called "No Kata".
The ep starts out with silent sounds before adding in drones and melodic male and female chanting/vocals and after awhile bass guitars and spoken word parts are added into the recording before going into a heavier direction along with aggressive vocals.
When the ep goes into other songs the music starts combining experimental and ska sounds with extreme metal as well as some hardcore back up gang vocals and you can also hear a good amount of melody in the guitar riffing.
With this ep Ninjaspy continue their experimental mixture of extreme metal, hardcore and ska while cutting back on the death metal elements this time around as well as adding in a few songs that are under a minute.
Song lyrics cover humorous and everyday themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound for being a self released recording where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this ep.
In my opinion this is another decent sounding recording from Ninjaspy and if you are a fan of extreme metal, hardcore, experimental and ska, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nihivas (Slowly Surfaces)" and "Skaingkh (The Skank)". 7/5 out 0f 10.

My top ten favourite songs from David Bowie's short-lived TIn Machine project.
"Tin Machine were an English-American hard rock band formed in 1988, famous for being fronted by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. The band consisted of Bowie on lead vocals and guitar, Reeves Gabrels on guitar, Tony Sales on bass, and Hunt Sales on drums. Guitarist Kevin Armstrong was an unofficial fifth member of the band, playing on both the first studio album and first tour." – Wikipedia
Disclaimer: I have decided to limit myself to only ten tunes, so of course some of my other favourites have been omitted.

Canadian environmental activists win .eco domain
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, decides who owns those letters after the dot in your internet address, and has been having a lawn sale. Commercial names are easy and expensive, but there is also a category that were defined as "community priority." According to David Beers of the Tyee, these have a higher bar.
These groups have to meet a high bar of requirements, set and evaluated by ICANN, in order to be approved as truly representative of the community their digital suffix references. But if an applicant meets this community priority test, they leap to the front of the line.
And the big green domain extension, .eco, has been awarded to Big Room, a company in Vancouver run by Trevor Bowden and Jacob Malthouse. Beers explains why:
Their pitch: You shouldn't be able to just pay to have .eco appended to your Internet identity. You should have to earn it. And the environmental community should be able to set the criteria and have a say in how the .eco community grows. Along the way the pair collected hundreds of endorsements for their 200-page bid. "This is a huge win," says Bowden, "for the socially aware, socially responsible approach to investing."
The hard part, according to Malthouse, "is to make sure dot eco doesn't become meaningless." According to the FAQ page, there will be high standards; they want .eco to be a badge of sustainability. When asked how they will make sure that people with an .eco domain are really sustainable:
By working with the environmental community. The Community Council spent over two years developing a ".ECO System" this unique system, combined with clear rules and a "take-down" process, will keep .ECO working for the environmental community.
It will be interesting to see how successfully they can keep out the greenwashers and the fronts. It will be interesting to see if they give us Treehugger.eco!
Congratulations to Big Room on a big accomplishment, and sign up at doteco.org

Using the names of his two sons, John (who was called "Jack") and Anthony, he came with John J. Anthony. Ask Mr. Anthony was a program dedicated to helping the sufferers from an antiquated and outmoded domestic relations code. WMRJ moved its location in 1930 and again in 1931 before it went off the air in 1932, a victim of a challenge of another station on the same frequency 100 miles away. When WMRJ went off the air, its radiated power peaked to 100 watts full power.
There were lots of jokes about John J. Anthony and, in fact, Mr. Anthony was often a guest star on many of the situation comedies of the day. From a psychotherapists point of view, the programs were very well done. The program went off the air in 1953. Lester Kroll moved to the West Coast, eventually settling in San Francisco. The Goodwill Hour was briefly on the air again in 1957 on the Mutual network. In the 1965 film Divorce American Style, he made an appearance as the divorce court judge. John J. Anthony died in San Francisco, California, on July 17, 1970, at the age of 67. His son, John "Jack" Kroll became a popular columnist for Newsweek magazine in 1965. Jack died in 2000.

So, needless to say, that quite delayed my plans for the month! I'm grateful that I still made pretty good progress with my craft projects, but everything else is behind. At least I was able to finish writing 'Tarreg,' resume progress on 'Renegade,' and especially that I've got a freelance editor lined up to go over Hu-Hua's Cry in October, but preparations for Triune are quite behind where I hoped they would be.

So what didn't get done in August is what's on my plate for September. Finishing up 'Renegade' first, though at least I won't need to have it polished up in order to launch into DWoT (acronym for the first Triune novel). Getting my prep-work done and starting in on DWoT is my top priority in September.
But there's the anticipated arrival of autumn as well, so hopefully I can start getting outside for exercise soon, enjoy a second visit to the State Fair, and spend a day at the MN Renaissance Festival. I have lots of cleaning on my plate as well, since the end of September will bring a visit from my brother and his van-full of my nieces and nephews. I'm very glad they're staying at the Towners instead of my place, but it will be great to see them!

Low-Frequency Ultrasound Therapy in Combination Treatment of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Background. Hypoglycemic therapy used at present in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) does not always lead to desired result and many patients live in a state of constant decompensation of metabolic processes, with the high levels of glycemia and glycosuria. That is why the search for the optimal treatment strategy that could increase the effectiveness of hypoglycemic therapy, and reduce the risk of complications is one of the most actual problems of modern diabetology.
The purpose of this study was to determine the use of low-frequency ultrasound therapy on cutaneous projection of the liver in patients with type 2 DM.
Materials and Methods. 30 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 DM and body mass index (BMI) greater than
25 kg/m2 were treated by the low-frequency ultrasound therapy. The ultrasonic effects were conducted in pulsed mode of 44 kHz and an amplitude of fluctuations — 2 microns using the apparatus MIT-11 as follows. Effects on the area of liver projection in patients was performed by the immovable technique (method), exposure to a session consisted of 8 minutes. The vaseline oil was used as a contact substance. Additionally influence on segmental area of Th7-Th12 by labile technique for 2 minutes on each plot was used to enhance the therapeutic effect. The patients were examined before and after treatment. The dynamics of clinical symptoms, glycemia and glycosuria, level of glycated hemoglobin was taken into account to assess the effectiveness of low-frequency ultrasound. To assess the degree of insulin resistance content of insulin, C-peptide and glucagon in blood plasma were determined by radioimmunoassay. Fasting insulin, C-peptide, glucagon in blood serum were tested in the morning. The statistical processing of tests' results was performed using Student's t test.
Results. The beginning of therapeutic effect was observed after 2 procedures of the ultrasound exposure. The maximum effect is appeared after 8–10 treatment sessions. The positive dynamics of complex treatment is improving the general state of health, a disappearance of asthenization, and a decrease in the symptoms of cardiovascular disorders, achieving faster compensation of carbohydrate metabolism. The course of treatment contributed to the hyperglycemia reduction in patients with newly detected type 2 DM. After ultrasound treatment, the authors noted a positive dynamics of clinical symptoms: an improvement of the general health status, a decrease in fatigue, an improvement of psycho-emotional indices, disappearance of pain in the right upper quadrant, and a decrease in liver size in all the patients under study.
Conclusions. The use of low-frequency ultrasound therapy on cutaneous projection of the liver in patients with type 2 DM promotes the normalization both fasting and postprandial glycemia. The effect of low-frequency ultrasound on cutaneous projection of the liver is significantly decreasing parameters that characterize the pancreatic insulin synthesizing function (immunoreactive insulin, C-peptide) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 DM and a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Low-frequency ultrasound reduces the glucagon secretion and thereby positively affects the hepatic gluconeogenesis. Ultrasound therapy can be used in the complex treatment of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 DM.

Real Madrid are favourites to land a midfielder who had been on Chelsea and Manchester United's radar, while Arsenal are lining up deal...
Real Madrid are favourites to land a midfielder who had been on Chelsea and Manchester United's radar, while Arsenal are lining up deals for two central defenders, according to Tuesday's newspapers.
Man United & Chelsea To Miss Out To Real Madrid For Gomes
Real Madrid have emerged as frontrunners in the race to sign Valencia's £54m-rated midfielder Andre Gomes.
The 22-year-old Portuguese midfielder has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus this summer, while Chelsea saw a bid for him rejected earlier this summer.
According to Marca, the player has been on Real 's radar for the last two years and they almost signed him from Benfica before the player joined Valencia. The Spanish paper reports that Los Blancos president Florentino Perez is preparing an offer for the midfielder – although he's 'not prepared' to meet Los Che's €65million valuation.
The report claims that although Valencia are not keen to sell their prized asset, they may find it hard to resist a bumper offer from Real Madrid.
Claims that Real Madrid will move for Gomes is also likely to leave Manchester United as the sole contenders to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus – particularly after this admission from Zinedine Zidane on Monday.
United had also been on the trail of Gomes too, but it is thought he was their back-up option should a move for Pogba fail to materialise.
Conte In Touch With Morata?
Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata is seeking answers as to where he'll fit in now that Zinedine Zidane and Los Blancos bought him back from Juventus. The answer to that question may lie away from the Santiago Bernabeu and possibly with Antonio Conte at Chelsea, according to Marca.
The report says that new Chelsea boss Conte has been in touch with Morata on an almost-daily basis and has assured him that if he made a move to Stamford Bridge, regular first-team minutes would come along with it.
Whether Real Madrid are willing to sell, and at what price, remains a huge variable and potential obstacle to a deal coming to fruition, with a reported €60 million offer from the Blues already being knocked back.
Another Marca story says there's one player with whom Zidane has apparently been crystal clear: Jese. Although the French boss said he admires the player's quality, he was quick to add that if he was a friend or family member, he'd advise the 23-year-old to leave Real in search of more regular playing time.
Arsenal Chase Central Defensive Duo
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is chasing Manchester City's Jason Denayer and Borussia Dortmund's Matthias Ginter, according to The Sun.
The Gunners chief is looking for a young, versatile defender who can fill into any gap across the back-four and will move for both players with the aim of signing one of them in a potential £10m-£12million swoop.
Arsene Wenger believes he can tempt Denayer from City as Pep Guardiola pursues a £38million move for Juventus and Italy star Leonardo Bonucci.
Denayer had a Euro 2016 to forget for Belgium as he was Cruyff-turned by Wales ace Hal Robson-Kanu for his wondergoal in the quarter-finals.
The 21-year-old is thought to be keen on a switch away from the Etihad in search of first-team football.
Ginter, meanwhile, has long been admired by Wenger who has been scouting him since he was a youngster at Freiburg.
The German World Cup winner can play in central defence or as a full-back and is seen as a long-term replacement for Per Mertesacker at Arsenal.
The 22-year-old is believed to be up for sale at Dortmund and has been linked with a switch to Wolfsburg.

This DNA article about the nuisance of ongoing construction in Williasmburg resulted in a fair amount of online snark, but the issue is a real one, and can be illegal. While some disruption is inevitable (and it is impossible to make pile drivers quiet), excess dust, debris and other detritus can be unhealthy and dangerous.
This is something that North Brooklyn – Greenpoint and Williasmburg – will have to deal with for some time. In 2005, NAG started a community watchdog project to deal with exactly these type of issues – if you have concerns about the impact of construction on the neighborhood and would like to get involved, please contact us.

Anyuan Temple
Constructed in 1764, Anyuan Temple, an imitation of Ili Temple in Xinjiang is situated due east of the Mountain Resort. Previously in 1759, more than 6,000 people of the Dashidawa clan of the Junggar tribe in Xinjiang migrated to the former Rehe Province (Chengde being its capital before its abolition as a province after 1949). Because their Gu'erzha Temple on the northern bank of the Ili River in Xinjiang has been destroyed during a war, Qing emperor Qianlong had a similar temple built in Chengde for their worship, naming it An Yuan Miao.
The temple roofs are covered with black glazed tiles. Serving as a foil to green mountains, blue sky and white clouds, the temple looks more magnificent and solemn with religious atmosphere. It is said that in the concept of Buddhism, black color represents the Buddhist Nirvana Mountain. Buddhist believe that they will achieve charitable and pious deeds after death and will not suffer rebirth and redeath nor they will get suffering of samsara (transmigration). At the same time, in Buddhism black color is emblematic of a strong wind, which can help the sailing boat to accelerate its speed and get to the shore of the land of Ultimate Bliss as soon as possible.
Another saying goes: "black color stands for water". The Ili Temple was destroyed by fire, so the Anyuan Temple was designed to be topped with black color, which is symbolic of water covering the roofs of the temple.

In the garden
Good for all seasons
Your minidish does not have to be fixed to your home at all. It will operate just as well at ground level and can be conveniently and discreetly placed in the garden, provided it still has line-of-sight to the satellite.
The minidish must be securely fixed in place, but many locations are possible - within a crowded flowerbed, on a garden wall, or even beside an outbuilding or garage.
The connections to the house can be kept out of sight or even buried, and use of high quality cabling will maintain the signal quality and repel the elements.

Changing the Way You Purchase Storage
Ensure that IT has the flexibility to build and efficiently run a shared infrastructure.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Big Data requires big storage. The conundrum for today's enterprise, however, is that big storage comes with a big price tag.
The need for large amounts of bulk storage at relatively low cost has naturally led many organizations to take another look at tape - this following nearly a decade of predictions that the medium had finally seen the end of its days.
A quick look at the numbers is all it takes to convince many CIOs of the efficacy of tape. According to ethnopedia.info, initial deployment costs are 75 percent lower than disk, and operational costs have dropped seven-fold over the past five years. The latest Linear Open Tape (LTO)-5 format boasts 1.5 TB capacity, with transfer speeds now exceeding 100 MBps, more than twice that of SATA RAID-5 and RAID-6.
Numbers like that are driving some of the latest tape library platforms into the storage stratosphere. Earlier this month, Spectra Logic launched the T-Finity ExaScale platform that supports upwards of 2.6 exabytes across 400,000 cartridges. The system accommodates LTO-5, LTO-6 and IBM TS1140 drives and provides an XML-based Open Library API to integrate legacy software management applications into the T-Finity environment.
Tape may have a lot going for it, but the fact is that most systems will play one part of a multimedia storage environment. It's helpful, then, to have a storage solution than can navigate across various tape, disk and cloud tiers. Imation recently released a new scalable storage platform designed for multitiered environments. The portfolio consists of the InfiniVault and DataGuard archive and protection appliances, along with the RDX removable hard disk and the company's LTO cartridges. The system is designed to scale from small business environments to medium and large enterprises.
However, that attitude is a reflection of limited thinking. With data strewn across all manner of virtual and cloud infrastructure these days, underlying hardware has become largely irrelevant.
An impartial evaluation of tape's strengths and weaknesses should show that it may not play a dominant role in modern data architectures, but it remains a valuable resource nonetheless.

The current British jazz scene is packed full of excellent groups and musicians – Troyka are one such trio making a stir with their angular, mind-boggling free jazz sounds.
Like most music of its kind, it takes a good few listens to digest, comprehend and remember what it is that you just listened to. By the fourth listen, you are rewarded with a complete picture of some serious songwriting talent. Having all studied music and clearly being virtuosos in their field, there are no boundaries in terms of structure, time signatures, rhythms or instrumental difficulty. The songs represent this, moving in a flash from funky grooves to sparsely notated, ambient sections via a free jazz passage that comes at you from nowhere. The song Cajoch is taken from their self titled 2009 album and epitomises what Troyka are about: try counting the time signature from 0.16 until 0.32; the boppy organ groove at 1.04; the excellent drum work from 1.47 to 2.00; the seamless switch back to the main melody.
The first album is full of fantastic ideas similar to the above. Call is another highlight, with its half-time intro before shifting gears, as is Twelve, Bear and the crushingly heavy slide guitar of Clint.
Moxxy was released in the summer of last year, and sees the trio focusing on the more melodic side of their songwriting. While the first record centred around darker, free jazz pandemonium, the second album offers brighter tones and a much more refined sound. Dropsy, Islands and the groove laden Zebra are particular highlights.
The opening track from Moxxy, Rarebit, is captured here live from Kings Place last year. From a musician's perspective, it is stunning to see the command and ease each man has with their instrument, especially drummer Joshua Blackmore. Starting properly from 0.16, the tight switch into the song's main motif at 0.52 with a casual 'Hey!' is followed by a shift of tempo at 1.28 and 1.39. The music goes into an all out jam from there until reaching a catchy 7/8 riff at 3.06, which riffs heavily at 3.25.
Troyka are an exciting band, and whilst they have snippets of influences, they hold a unique place on the current scene. I, for one, am very eager to see them live. Their intricate textures might only appeal to a certain sort of crowd, but the impressiveness of their musicianship and distinctive songwriting means that there should be something for everyone.

Driving on the car in Thailand not for the faint-hearted. But independent driving стращает is less than many tourists, than driving on local transport. In Bangkok there is a number of the reliable companies which offer car rent in Thailand, the prices in them are more applicable, than the prices of the international companies though they and not always offer cars of the last brands. You can employ the car with the driver, it will manage to you only for 50 % more expensively, than an ordinary car rent in Thailand.
Movement in Thailand left foreign, as in Great Britain and Australia. And though here, as well as everywhere, there are Traffic regulations, the most part of drivers ignores them. Be ready to an aggressive manner of driving: here trust a saying: «Who risks, that wins». «If you have to carry out time a great lot in traffic jams, take the car with the conditioner» – advise many who had a rest in Thailand in the summer.
Unforgettable rest in Thailand from Surgut. Will suffice to dream, it is time to travel! And our portal will help you with it.

Casseroles have been my boyfriend and I's friend these past 2 weeks. They're really easy to make and the outcome is almost always a pan full of deliciousness.
Last weekend we put soup Sunday's on a hold & opted for a more comforting dish, like a casserole. At Thanksgiving I had this delicious broccoli casserole topped with Ritz crackers. It was heaven. I searched for a recipe similar to that but with chicken & rice. I wanted a chicken & rice casserole that reminded me of that amazing broccoli casserole with the salty Ritz crackers on top.
I found a recipe for a broccoli, rice & chicken casserole that I decided looked, one, amazing & two, possibly close to what I had at Thanksgiving. I decided to add cauliflower to the recipe because I love broccoli & cauliflower together & because why not?
It's really quick to get together & cooks in around 45 minutes which makes it a great weeknight meal or any night really!
Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole

- 1 C Cream of Broccoli
- 2 1/2 C Low-Fat Milk
- Salt/Pepper, Sprinkle of Both
