Key safety tips:
Be careful accessing Gorkana's site through links contained in e-mails. The address that should appear on your web browser should always start with www.gorkana.com. Fraudsters may provide a link to a bogus site to trick you to disclose your personal information.
Watch out for SPAM emails with attachments. SPAM emails can be made to look as though they come from a safe source or a friend's email address, however, once you open the attachment they can download a virus on to your computer. Be wary of suspicious looking attachments as even friends can unwittingly send you a virus by email.
13.1 Gorkana takes great pride in the extent and accuracy of its database of media contacts – journalists, bloggers and media outlets – which we call the Media Database. The information we maintain in our Media Database, and how that information is used, depends on the information that has been provided to us, how we obtained that information, and how the media contact uses our services. This section describes what personal information we obtain about the media contacts on our Media Database and how that information is used. This section should be read in conjunction with the rest of this privacy policy which may also apply media contacts.
- What additional information do we collect about journalists on our Media Database?
13.2 In addition to the information referred to at 2.1 above, we may collect additional information about our media contacts which may include information such as your job title, contact information (including mobile phone number and personal email if you provide it to us), career history, beat, articles that you have written, personal interests and other information that may enhance the service that we provide for you and for our corporate subscribers.
- How do we obtain information about journalists that is stored in the Media Database?
13.3 In addition to the sources of information set out in section 2.1 above, the information we hold in relation to journalists on our Media Database comes from a variety of sources, including, in particular:
a) information provided to us direct by journalists (for example, when signing up for one of our services, such as Media Alerts, or when responding to a request for information from Gorkana);
b) from media outlets (newspapers, magazines etc), who will periodically provide information relating to journalists employed by or connected with them (e.g. current job titles, contact information, areas of interest);
c) from publicly available sources (such as news stories, press releases, online media);
d) from other third party sources (for example, information provided by Gorkana's customers or from other journalists).
- How the Media Database is used
13.4 In addition to the general uses in section 4.1, information about our journalists that is contained in the Media Database may be made available to our corporate subscribers who use our products and services. For example, Gorkana's corporate PR customers that subscribe to our Media Database & Alerts service will have access to information about journalists (including their contact information) that we hold in the Media Database, and will be sent alerts providing information about changes to the database (for example, changes in job titles, journalist moves, and contact information). Our corporate customers may contact journalists direct (using the contact information we keep in the Media Database) to, for example, send press releases or other PR material which our customers may consider will be of interest to the journalist in question. Gorkana does not control and is not responsible for the content of any such communications.
- Maintaining the Media Database
13.5 Gorkana prides itself in maintaining up to date and accurate data on the Media Database. We will update our records as soon as possible after receiving information that requires changes to our database. Such information may come to us from any of the sources referred to above. We may also receive information from other sources, for example, out of office messages. Where appropriate, we will notify the journalist of substantive changes, and may choose not to make any changes until they have been approved by the journalist.
13.6 As a journalist you will always have the opportunity to review and request changes to the information we hold about you.
13.7 If you no longer wish to be on the Media Database we will remove you from it. You may still receive other services (e.g. Media Alerts) even if you are no longer on the Media Database.
13.8 If, at any time, you wish to be removed from the Media Database, or if you would like to review your profile, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
14.1 Any changes that we make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email.
14.2 If you have any questions or concerns about how Gorkana handles your personal information, please contact our Data Protection Officer at email@example.com.

Don Moore
Military Artist

Opening Reception Saturday, October 19, 2013 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Regular Gallery Hours:
Fridays & Saturdays, October 25 – November 16, 2013 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Don Moore always knew that he would be a military artist; just ask his former Willard High School art teacher, Mr. Charles Casto. In 1968 Don left Willard, Ohio for the United States Marine Corps recruit depot at Parris Island, South Carolina. Upon completing boot camp and advanced combat training, he received the military occupation of illustrator/combat artist. Don served 16 ½ years in the Marine Corps before joining the Army in 1984 as an illustrator. Don retired from the military in 1989 with 22 ½ years of service.
Don's military career was not limited to being an artist; he was also a drill instructor, presidential bodyguard, and non-commissioned officer in charge of graphic art centers and public affairs sections. These, as well as other military jobs, postings and travel experiences, helped Don build a variety of skills and life experiences. Wherever Don was stationed, he pursued his passion for art through college and correspondence courses. He also attended many workshops and institutes such as Dynamic Graphics.
Don has received many awards for his artistic skill, service and excellence. His most prized achievements are: induction into the Sgt. Audie Murphy Club, knighted into the Order of St. George, and commissioned an admiral in the Texas navy.
Owner and operator of Don Moore Illustration since 1989, Don has had a variety of notable clients, including authors John Carroll, Robert Utley, Steve Wise and Paul Hutton; United States presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush; and the magazines and corporations Armchair General Magazine, McDonnell Douglas Helicopter, the National Park Service, the Institute of Heraldry, and the History Channel.
You're invited to visit the Art Junction to view Don's amazing illustrations that pay tribute to our veterans and our nation's great heritage!
The Art Junction is a community-based art education program designed to bring gallery space, local art exhibitions, lessons and creative opportunities to the Willard area for adults, teens, seniors, and children to learn to create together a better community! Located at 2634 Prairie Street, New Haven, Ohio 44850 next to the New Haven United Methodist Church.

Nokia's next phones will have wireless charging, claims The Verge, and the Finns are joining the Qi camp in the increasingly polarised battle for over wireless standards.
The Verge claims to have leaked specifications for Nokia's flagship Lumia 920 handset, revealing that it will have Qi-compatible wireless charging and a 4.5-inch display as well as being branded PureView despite having only 8 Megapixels in the camera, though we won't know for certain until tomorrow when Nokia is set to reveal all.
The use of wireless charging might justify Nokia's teaser video, which claims "Things are about to change" with tomorrow's date accompanied by a carefree cyclist. Embracing Qi would have the added advantage of annoying Samsung, not to mention poking one in the eye of the Auld Enemy: Qualcomm.
When Samsung launched the Galaxy SIII it claimed wireless power as a feature, and launched the "Alliance for wireless power" incorporating Qualcomm's WiPower standard into a new Alliance forged to fight against the dominance of the "Wireless Power Consortium" and their Qi standard.
Qi has been around for a while, gaining the name and logo back in 2009. The Qi standard came out of water filtration units, which needed wireless power, and has been widely endorsed but despite RIM and Energizer putting their names to the standard devices are still rare.
Qualcomm bought competing tech WiPower in 2010 and started quietly negotiating with manufacturers to get the technology embedded in their kit. Qualcomm argues that the additional range of WiPower (which can charge devices up to 45mm away) opens the possibility for "grazing" devices which are never intentionally recharged - a charger embedded in a chair could charge a device in a pocket, another in the car door would keep it topped up, so the user would never think about charging again.
It's a nice idea, so nice that the Qi standard was promptly extended to embrace the same functionality. Meanwhile Samsung has failed to bring out the wireless charger for the SIII, which will also need a replacement back panel and battery.
Realistically there probably isn't room for two standards, which are incompatible, so one is going to disappear. When the Alliance was launched we said that if Samsung backed it wholeheartedly, and quickly, then it could become the surviving standard, but four months after the launch there's no schedule for products and even the Galaxy SIII is still reliant on a cable for power.
If Nokia is embracing Qi then that will probably be enough to tip the balance in favour of the Consortium, particularly given Intel's latest promise to embed wireless charging into its tech - Intel is even less likely to adopt a Qualcomm-backed standard than Nokia is. Even if the Lumia isn't a big seller, the publicity and visibility it will provide for Qi should be enough to make everyone forget there was ever an alternative, if indeed there ever was. ®

#One-on-one, two day workshop, working on Needle-sculpting and colouring heads! The best time!
We did one each in a step-by-step fashion. Barb was so happy with what she had learned,the first day, she did homework in the comfort of her campervan!
Barb bought the rag doll she had made for her granddaughter who was born with cleft palate, and is now wearing braces, so she shared a picture of the doll when new, then after many years of play.
Barb wanted to update it as her granddaughter is older now, and with the techniques she had learned during the first day, completely made over the face of the rag doll, which is so beautiful, it's unrecognisable!
This is the doll when new, several years ago.
And now, transformed with the newly acquired techniques for needle-sculpting and colouring!
This is what she learned from. We did one each.
And then these!
I am so delighted with her quick progress and natural talent! She is going home enthusiastic, more enlightened and not afraid to risk doing faces! What a buzz!
I am not always able to travel to other locations, and some people find it hard to learn in a group, so if anyone would like to book some paid one-on-one time with me in my studio, here in Oamaru, please message me to arrange it! I am not able to accommodate anyone here, but Oamaru is a great place with plenty of other accommodation. I certainly enjoy the experience and try to make it worthwhile.


text: To make live easy I did some homework and created a script with a front-end to create a client, a Zone record with DNS records and a website option (for redirection of the domainname, if needed) with the Remote Users option provided in ISPconfig (NICE OPTION!) However, there are some "limitations", as far I can see the Remote Users option only create users as "admin" and not as reseller (please advice?) Also there is no possibility to assign rights to a reseller, only user or admin. For this reason i have modified several parts of ISPconfig to fit my needs, the admin is not affected, only the user part is changed (screenshots included with the download) I do know there is more possible and I will do more home work but for now i'm done. Ronald ps the files are based on version 126.96.36.199, I also have included the original files as a copy.

The BEST Banana Pudding Ever
I make this Paula Deen banana pudding every Thanksgiving and it's a huge hit.
* 2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies
* 6 to 8 bananas, sliced
* 2 cups milk
* 1 (5-ounce) box instant French vanilla pudding
* 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
* 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream
Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.
In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

"Orange is the color of joy and wisdom. It stimulates feelings of sociability. It is tied to our emotional health and to the muscular system of the body. Orange can assist in healing conditions of the spleen, pancreas, stomach, intestines, and adrenals. Individuals experiencing emotional paralysis or depression can be helped by this bright and uplifting color. It can be used to revitalize the physical body and assist with food assimilation. It makes a good tonic after a bout of illness, for it is good in eliminating negativity from the body."
~Ted Andrews, 'How To Heal With Color'
I say "Yes" to orange! :)

CRESTVIEW � Events following the rapture, a mysterious, end-of-times event when believing Christians will levitate to Heaven while non-believers stay grounded, take focus in a Crestview resident's latest book.
CRESTVIEW � Events following the rapture, a mysterious, end-of-times event when believing Christians will levitate to Heaven while non-believers stay grounded, take focus in a Crestview resident's latest book.
"The Morning After: The Messenger" is Paul T. Barnhill's second book, a fictional account of a man's journey following a biblical rapture. It raises numerous questions, including how much time is left for life on this planet and how much longer a Christian has to make his or her choice for salvation or damnation.
"I read the Bible and this is what the Book of Revelation said to me," said Barnhill, who doesn't consider himself to be a biblical scholar or even particularly religious.
"I don't attend church like I should, but it doesn't mean I don't believe," he said.
Nevertheless, he said the book should serve as a cautionary tale to those not fully committed to Christianity.
"I would like to see it passed out to those who attend church for the first time," Barnhill said.
Different genre
Although his latest page-turner might interest Christians, its theme is a departure from prior creations.
"A Demon in Plain Sight" � his first book, released in 2011 � follows a charismatic wealthy man with the split personality of a serial killer.
Barnhill's passion for writing goes back to creating comic books at age 12.
"Most of my teachers said I should be a writer," Barnhill said.
However, that occupation came later in life.
Barnhill turned to construction work, framing houses to make his living, before 2010's Deepwater Horizon oil spill threatened his livelihood.
"I did really well until the oil spill ... I had to close up shop," Barnhill said, adding the time off allowed him to write.
Construction work eventually became available again; it helps pay the bills, but stands second to Barnhill's true passion.
"I wish I could make enough with book writing because that is all I would do," he said.
Barnhill said he wants future generations to read his literary works, but recognizes the publishing industry's stiff competition and hard knocks.
"I want my writing to be my signature, saying I was here at one time," he said. "I figure my grandkids will probably make more profit from my books than I will."
A lot of hard work goes into publishing a book, not the least of which is finding a publisher that will green-light the project.
"Most people don't realize that publishing (companies) in America will not touch a first-time author," he said.
Self-publishing allows ambitious authors to spread their stories, guaranteed. The only risk is the financial investment. Self-published authors must cover all production costs and handle all promotion efforts.
But that shouldn't deter people with stories to write, Barnhill said.
"You just have to put it out there and don't let anyone tell you that it isn't worth it because it is," Barnhill said. "I am a firm believer that anybody can do anything."
To get a copy of "The Morning After," visit amazon.com or authorhouse.com, both the printed and electronic editions are available.

Governor Perry is so desperate he's pulling a Michelle Bachman. Now saying that a poor, poor lady with cancer told him that if someone doesn't get rid of Obamacare that she will surely die. Somehow Obamacare will kill her. Now my question is exactly how will Obamacare kill her? Did it "give" her the cancer she is dying from? Will it stop her from continuing her current health plan IF she has one? Will it stop her from getting Medicare or Medicaid if she is getting that? Of course not!
What is it about the Obama healthcare plan that causes so much angst? Only a small part of the plan is even enacted and the rest doesn't come into play until 2014. So, out of what IS enacted could any of these be killing this poor cancer ridden lady?
Could it be that the plan forces insurance companies to cover recommended preventive services without charging out of pocket costs: Services like mammograms, colonoscopies, immunizations, pre-natal and new baby care are now covered, and insurance companies are prohibited from charging deductibles, co-payments or co-insurance?
Do you think that making insurance companies cover preventative services and the like are killing her, is it stopping her care? Probably not, so let's keep looking.
How about this one:
Give her an opportunity to appeal coverage decisions by her insurance company: Consumers are guaranteed the right to appeal insurance company decisions to an independent third party.
Well I am sure as hell if her insurance company says they don't want to pay for any new treatments her doctor feels will help her cancer, that she would think having the RIGHT to appeal would be very much needed. In fact it COULD be the one thing that saves her life. Well, let's keep looking, since we know for a fact this ain't it.
The last one, could it be this:
It guarantees enrollees their choice of primary care provider: Consumers have their choice of provider within the plan's network of doctors, including OB-GYNs and pediatricians, without a referral, as well as out-of-network emergency care.
I doubt very seriously if having her choice of primary care providers is killing her or hurting her in any way. If she doesn't want to choose a doctor and would be more comfortable letting her insurance company choose, I am more than sure they would have no problem steering her to her cities equivalent of the Simpson's Doctor Nick in Springfield.
These are the only things that are going on right now, and nothing that I have seen in the bill coming up would kill her either. So what the hell is she or is Perry talking about. What are any of these idiots posing as Republican presidential candidates talking about when screaming they wish to end this bill.
Do they wish to ensure poor autistic children and their families have their healthcare cancelled the minute they get the diagnosis, as that is one of the things that this bill stops. Or are they hell bent on ensuring that people who don't have healthcare stay that way? What is it that these people DO want? They never tell the alternative, all they say is they want to stop socialized medicine. Why? Every one of the top nations in the world with the better life expectancies and beating us on the best places to live has socialized medicine. Is it killing them? Maybe we should start thinking about that.
Looking at these candidates and looking at my fellow American's who are choosing from this gang of clowns, makes Finland, Canada, France, Germany, Sweden and Norway look really good right now. I think it is time to invest in Rosetta Stone and call it a day.

Hello Jolliefille and Giba7! Just had to tell you I agree that a collaboration with Pharrell would be the best thing for Jamiroquai! And guess what? Pharrell already wants to do it!! http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/feb/12/elton-john-pharrell-williams-collaboration
I saw a slightly different article a few weeks ago through Twitter, that was tweeted to Rob Harris, I can't find it though It was a better article, because Pharrell said something along the lines of being a big fan of Jamiroquai and that he would love to collaborate with them!! Do it, do it , do it Jamiroquai!!
Glad to see you here Joliefille - welcome! Sorry it is so quiet here
I spend more time on Twitter now (as Giba7 knows) since it is more fast paced! And Paul Turner replied to a tweet of mine during the week which is always a thrill! Find me there if you are on twitter!

Last week we posted Peter Robinson's terrific interview with Andrew Roberts. Given our format, the interview rotated off the site after a few days. We should have another installment of Uncommon Knowledge next week. In the meantime, here is the interview with Roberts, once more once, after a brief introduction.
There are several outstanding one-volume histories of World War II. Martin Gilbert's The Second World War: A Complete History is one of them. Gerhard Weinberg's A World At Arms: A Global History of World War II is another. With no disrespect to others left unmentioned, we can now add to this select company Andrew Roberts's The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War.
In this installment of Uncommon Knowledge Roberts joins Peter Robinson to discuss the book. Among the subjects covered are why the Germans might have won the war, Hitler's shortcomings as military leader, the historical factors responsible for Hitler's rise to power, Churchill's indispensable contribution to Germany's defeat, Stalin's blunders, Russia's contribution to the victory, and a quick look at Europe today. Roberts packs a lot of humane learning into the interview's 38 minutes. Through our arrangement with the Hoover Institution, we are pleased to present the interview in its entirety. Please check it out.

OK, so "Jersey Shore" viewers were treated to two-hours of the usual sex, booze, fighting and tans they've come to expect from the MTV reality show Thursday night.
But, they were also shown something that was blocked earlier this season -- a girl on guy fight.
The victim this time was Mike The Situation Sorrentino. His attacker: Jenni J-Woww Farley.
Here's what went down:
During a trip to the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, J-Woww and the crew were fist pumpin' it up at club Providence. But it seemed all that beat battlin' didn't work so well for her stomach. Adhering to the Guidette Code, she asked the noble Situtation to escort her to the room. Being the gentleman that he is, Mikey politely replied "Hell no" and turned back to his creeping.
Feeling violated, J-Woww swiftly replied not with words, but a smack to the head.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
That move got her bounced from the club, but she wasn't done with the beat down. The assault continued back in the hotel room as she landed a sideways punch right to the side of his face.
MTV summed up the blow on their Twitter Feed: "That punch was intense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
JWoww tweeted that it was "The punch heard round the world!"
The punch sure looked like it hurt and it drew private security into the room to break things up. By the end of the next episode, though, The Situation and J-Woww seemed to have smoothed things over.
Good for them, but that doesn't answer why MTV felt they had to black out Nicole Snooki Polizzi's clock to the face at the hands of some dude, but then repeatedly show J-Woww beating The Situation. They even went as far as tweeting about it after.
The lesson they were trying to get across earlier in the season was that it's never right to hit another, right?
Obviously, there were some differences, including that charges were filed against the guy that decked Snooki, but MTV promoed that punch, before dumping it from the episode.
The Snooki punch was pulled in part because of outcry from groups concerned about the image of a woman getting hit by a man -- something that obviously is wrong.
MTV went further than just blacking out the punch, they even added a disclaimer about the wrongs of domestic violence, yet they felt no need to do the same after The Situation got smacked around.
Yes, most often, domestic disputes involve a man hitting a woman, but it can be a two-way street -- just ask Chuck Finley.
In New Jersey more than 75-percent of all domestic violence occurred against women in 2008, according to state police stats.
Were men the victims only 25-percent of the time or is it that men only reported abuse at that rate?
Whatever the cases may be, MTV felt it was OK to show a woman beating up a man, but not a man punching a woman.
Double standard?
Here's the episode:

SUMMERLIN, NV — 24 Hour Fitness has teamed with tennis great and Olympic Gold Medal winner Andre Agassi. The partnership includes the creation of new 24 Hour Fitness Agassi Super-Sport Clubs — the first of which debuted in Agassi's Las Vegas hometown on Feb. 23. Agassi, who has long been an ambassador and advocate of fitness, will put his own "signature" on the look, feel and facilities of the new clubs, and become a face for the company's advertising campaign, the company said.
"Exercise should be an important part of everyone's life. Having spent a great deal of my life devoted to fitness, I believe partnering with 24 Hour Fitness is a great vehicle to share my passion for health and fitness," said Agassi. "I am very excited to be a part of this great company. And, I look forward to the many ways we will work together to help people achieve their health and fitness goals."
Agassi noted that 24 Hour Fitness' official sponsorship of the upcoming Olympics also played a role in his decision to align with the company. He joins another former Olympian, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, who launched a string of successful 24 Hour Fitness Magic Johnson Sport Clubs in 2001.
"Partnering with Andre Agassi, who is by far one of the best conditioned athletes ever, will allow us at 24 Hour Fitness to continue to reach out and inspire people to lead a healthier lifestyle," said Mark Mastrov, chairman and CEO, 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide. "His knowledge and passion for fitness is unparalleled in the world of sports and will be a huge added benefit to our team and members."
According to the company, all 24 Hour Fitness Agassi Super-Sport Clubs will be full-service fitness facilities with numerous amenities. Members will have access to amenities such as a 25-meter lap pool, whirlpool, steam room and sauna, and indoor court sports such as racquetball, squash and basketball and more.

The Aluminium Alternative
- High Security and Complete Peace of Mind!
At Croft Glass we realise that not everybody wants
their new windows and doors to be in UPVC or Timber.
That's why we offer an Aluminium Alternative.
By their very design and construction they offer excellent security. They are made extremely rigid to resist distortion and bending and don't need additional reinforcement.
The double-glazed sealed units are fixed in place by high - security beads which make
it very difficult to remove glass and reach window handles. In fact, optional security glazing clips make de-glazing virtually impossible.
You have a choice of appearance when it comes to the opening windows (or vents), but whichever style you choose it won't look very attractive to a burglar!
A whole range of COLOURS are also available in Aluminium.

Injuries jumped dramatically among adults ages 65 and older between 1991 and 2002, states a new report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This federal agency works to protect Americans from "unreasonable risks of serious injury or death" related to more than 15,000 types of consumer products — including sports products. The study contains sobering numbers for anyone committed to the well-being of older adults.
In 2002, more than 1.45 million adults ages 65 and older went to hospital emergency rooms with injuries related to consumer products in or around the home. Falls proved the leading cause of injury. Emergency room visits increased 23 percent for people ages 65 to 74 years between 1991 and 2002, according to the CPSC's Special Report: Emergency Room Injuries Adults 65 and Older. However, of particular concern, these visits increased 73 percent among adults ages 75 and older in the decade studied. The report points out that this rate of injury is three times the growth recorded for the 75-plus age group in the same period. And falls were associated with 77 percent of emergency room visits for these individuals.
"These are preventable injuries," says CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton. "Older Americans are living longer and are more active than ever. We want them to enjoy themselves free from debilitating injury."
In fact, sports-related death and injuries are cited for what the CPSC calls "more active older consumers." According to the CPSC press release that announced the report's release, the agency found "reports of 100 drowning deaths in one year among those 65 and older, a disproportionate share."
Expect this statement to cause some concern among your older adult clients. Why? Because some media outlets seized on this fact and started fear-mongering. These outlets did not examine the facts or provide context about physical activity for this age group. For instance, they did not compare the number of unfortunate drowning deaths with the number of people who participate regularly in aquatic exercise. Nor did they compare this figure with the number of older adults who enjoy the many health benefits of a physically active lifestyle, such as a lower heart disease risk, better lung function, lower blood pressure and stronger bones.
In what may be the greatest irony, this sensational media coverage ignored exercise's ability to improve the balance, gait and strength problems that contribute greatly to the fall risk in the 65-plus age group. Instead, the "fear factor" won out, conjuring up images of older adults dying during exercise. Yet typical fall scenarios for older adults involve falling down stairs, moving from standing to sitting positions, tripping over loose carpets and other obstacles on the floor, and falling off ladders and step stools.
Why is it that media outlets continue to promote the view that exercise is dangerous for older adults? For those of us in the active aging field, this myth was "busted" 15 years ago. The groundbreaking Tufts University study, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1990, showed that older adults could do high-intensity strength training safely.
In The Journal on Active Aging (January/February 2002), Dr. David Buchner, branch chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity, and Dr. Steven Blair, now president, chief executive officer and director of research at The Cooper Institute, discussed physical activity for older adults.
"The 1990s were an incredible decade," said Dr. Buchner. "We went from knowing hardly anything about the effects of physical activity on older adults to saying that physical activity is incredibly beneficial for this age group."
The Tufts University research showed that older adults "double and triple their muscle strength and throw away their walkers" when they start weight training.
Let's not lose sight of the real issue here: falls are dangerous. They are the leading cause of injury-related death for both men and women ages 75 and older, according to the National Safety Council (NSC), which is working with members of Congress to develop the Elderly Falls Prevention Act. More than 30,000 Americans ages 65 and older are seriously injured in a fall every week, and 250 die as a result. Of those who survive, 20 to 30 percent of individuals have debilitating injuries as long as they live.
Deaths and injuries related to consumer products among adults ages 65 and older cost the United States more than $100 billion every year, the CPSC estimates. Physical activity is a low-cost way to prevent falls and their related financial and human costs. As fitness professionals, we must keep telling people that fact as often as needed to finally bust the myth that exercise is dangerous.
Colin Milner is chief executive officer of the International Council on Active Aging™. An award-winning writer, Milner has authored more than 100 articles on aging-related issues. He can be reached at [email protected].

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are complex neurobiological disorders that affect an individual's ability to communicate and develop social relationships, and are often accompanied by repetitive behaviors or intense interests. Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed in one in 68 children in the United States and one in 42 boys. The prevalence of autism is reported to be increasing at a rate of 10-17% per year and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called autism a national public health crisis whose cause and cure remain unknown.
Each child with autism is unique with varying levels of strengths, symptoms and severity. An official diagnosis is based on criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). A checklist we created to help explain the diagnosis can be downloaded here.
Early detection and services can have a significant impact on the child's development.
Autism Facts
There are five different types of pervasive development disorders in the autism spectrum varying in symptoms and severity: Autism, Asperger's Disorder, Pervasive Development Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), Rett's Syndrome and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder.
Each child with an autism spectrum disorder is unique, "You meet a child with autism and you've met one child with autism."
Autism affects nearly four times as many boys as girls.
Autism affects people of every ethnic, race and socio-economic group.
It is estimated that up to 40% of people diagnosed with autism are non-verbal – being non-verbal does not mean the person has nothing to say. Many people learn to communicate with assistance of Picture Exchange Communications (PECs); applications on computers or iPads; sign language or Digital Voice Systems.
Autism impacts the whole family.
The following are some links to help understand autism spectrum disorders:

There have been a number of brilliant campaigns to alert young women to the rampant retouching of photos used in fashion advertising. Basically, 100 per cent of the models shown in magazines are digitally altered, often beyond recognition. My personal favourite is a video called "Time Lapse Video Photoshop Transformation Shows Model's Extreme Change." It went viral in October 2013 and is available at http://goo.gl/Vf9AEA.
In this short video clip, a fairly ordinary looking woman is digitally transformed into a glamorous supermodel. Her torso shrinks two sizes, her legs are lengthened, and she receives "a digitally sculpted backside." It provides a great lesson in fashion fakery. As one commentator put it, the models in those ads also wish they had the bodies they are showing off.
Another shocker was the admission by retail chain H&M that some of its perfect-bodied models don't even exist in real life. The company uses computer generated mannequins, both female and male, electronically pasting on the heads of real people and tinting the skin colour appropriately.
Somebody needs to perform a similar awareness service for guys. It turns out that males, especially young ones, are falling prey to various types of body dysmorphic disorder — the feeling that their bodies are just not good enough.
Evidence that college-age males are susceptible to media images comes from a study of 111 male undergraduates at Kent State University. Researchers showed them ads for products, some of them featuring shirtless males. "Results indicated that exposure to both muscular and slender images was associated with an increase in body dissatisfaction," they conclude.
Another study, by Magdala Labre at the University of Florida, found that "while women tend to be most dissatisfied with their middle and lower bodies and their breasts, men have been found to be most unhappy with their middle and upper bodies, particularly abdomens, chests, and upper arms — body parts that frequently are emphasized in the media."
There is some hope that we're not just mindless victims of hot body advertising. A study called "GI Joe or Average Joe?" from the University of Queensland found that "men and women rated average-size models as equally effective in advertisements as muscular models. For men, exposure to average-size models was associated with more positive body image in comparison to viewing no models, but no difference was found in comparison to muscular models."
A large, 12-year-long study from Boston Children's Hospital found that guys who tried to slim down or "beef up" had higher rates of other conditions such as depression, drug use, and binge drinking.
Researcher Alison Field and colleagues tracked 5,527 U.S. males aged 12 to 18 years, asking them periodically about how they perceive their bodies and if they were engaging in certain body modification behaviours. The first shocker was the percentage of late adolescent boys and young men, 7.6 per cent, who admitted taking dangerous substances to increase muscularity. "The frequency of use of products such as anabolic steroids to increase muscle size and enhance body size are at least as common among males as purging is among females," the researchers write. So while we're not seeing guys running to the bathroom to vomit up their latest meal, they are popping pills that can cause serious health problems. The researchers also singled out creatine supplements and growth hormone derivatives as a concern. Some muscle building substances that are widely available online haven't been fully tested in this age group.
As for body image, 17.9 per cent of adolescent boys and young men reported being extremely concerned with their weight or physique at some point during the study. The linkage to other problems such as depression seems to work as follows. Guys who seek to be thinner, which is the form of eating disorder usually seen in females, seemed to be more prone to bouts of depression. Those who were aiming for more muscularity were more likely than the peers to engage in binge drinking and taking illegal drugs.
It's worth noting that how a person looks and develops is a combination of genetics, diet, and exercise habits. The same Internet that allows guys to order dodgy supplements will provide endless advice on "getting six pack abs." The truth is that we all have them, the rectus abdominis muscle, hidden down there somewhere. However in many people they don't show up because they are covered in layers of fat. Genetics has a lot to do with how your body deposits fat. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try to slim down and work your muscles. Still, no matter how hard they try, some people are just never going to make the cover of a fitness magazine.
The important thing is to approach body image sensibly, and realize that many of the images we are exposed to in advertising are actually faked or freaks. You might also inject a sense of humour. One wag, Shane Sargent, writing on a discussion board about getting those elusive six pack abs, commented "I have a keg so you will find I trump your six pack at any party."

The Paraguay international is in negotiations with the Spanish club over making his loan switch permanent when his contract expires with Manchester City this summer
Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz has revealed he is in talks with Malaga over making his loan switch permanent, although Botafogo remain interested in the forward.
The 31-year-old has been on loan with the Andalusians since the start of the season and has scored 10 goals in 40 games in all competitions for Manuel Pellegrini's men.
However, financial difficulties at La Rosaleda could prove to be an issue with regards a permanent deal and Santa Cruz has confirmed he is pleased to hear of Botafogo's interest.
"The interest [from Botafogo] does exist and I'm aware of it, my agents are analysing this possibility that has appeared and there are some talks," he told Paraguayan outlet Radio La Nueva RGS.
"It's a very big club; I'm flattered by their interest. It's always important to be wanted by a club of such size."
Santa Cruz cost Manchester City £17.5 million when he joined them in the summer of 2009 from Blackburn Rovers, but failed to establish himself after boss Mark Hughes was replaced by Roberto Mancini.
The striker has since enjoyed loan spells back at Ewood Park as well as in Spain with Real Betis and while his future remains uncertain he is confident a return to Manchester is not likely.
"I am also having conversations with Malaga, but I am not going to renew my contract with Manchester City," he added. "I'll be a free agent."

The Lower Missouri River watershed (for me, defined as the portion of the river below its confluence with the Big Sioux). This is part of my ongoing atlas project, and in order to get as much detail as possible, I had to split the whole of the Missouri system into two spreads.
It still amazes me that Denver is on a river which eventually flows through New Orleans. The reach of the Mississippi system is massive.

See Justin Timberlake's Look-Alike From the 1870s [PHOTO]
SexyBack is not bound by time or space or periods in history. Justin Timberlake has a look-alike from the 1870s, and the resemblance is uncanny. While the singer's doppelgänger isn't nearly as snazzy of a dresser as JT himself, their facial features and hair/beard textures are really similar. The look-alike also has a bit of a serious vibe to him; check out the furrowed brow and his intense stare.
He looks like he has a lot on his mind, whereas JT always has a loose, goofy and relaxed energy.
Still, we're transfixed by the image and wonder what he has is thinking about.
If we didn't tell you that this is a vintage photo from over 140 years ago, you might be fooled into thinking it's JT posing and making use of some serious Instagram photo editing effects.
It begs the question: Could this be a Timberlake ancestor? There has to be some shared bloodline or DNA connection.
Are you guys totally blown away by this snap? Can you tell that we are?
The pic was tweeted by History Pics, which shares images and photos from another time and place.
Below is a picture of JT so you compare his look to that of his twin from another century.
Maybe History Pics will tweet a doppelgangers of Joey Fatone or Lance Bass next!

November 22, 1963 - A Day That Will Live in Infamy
The 50th anniversary of the murder of President John F. Kennedy at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas will be November 22, 2013.
James Douglass, author of the extraordinary 'must read' book above, wrote on page 142:
We have no evidence as to who in the military-industrial complex may have given the order to assassinate President Kennedy. That the order was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency is obvious. The CIA's fingerprints are all over the crime and the events leading up to it.LewRockwell.com has covered the issue of JFK's murder over the years and recently posted a piece by a well known JFK researcher, John Judge.
A Call to Ocupy the Grassy Knoll in 2013
Few people know that Robert Kennedy believed his brother was murdered by a political conspiracy and told close associates that he would reopen the investigation if he was able to be elected into the White House. Even fewer people know that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was high on his list of possible running mates for the presidency in 1968. All these deaths served to kill public hope for social and political change and left the rising Military Industrial Intelligence Complex warned about by outgoing President Eisenhower in 1963, and a permanent war economy and Cold War and nuclear arsenal were left in place to grow, along with the power of the intelligence agencies and the national security and police state who were clearly suspect of playing a role in these murders.The City of Dallas and the Dallas Police Department were key players in covering up the JFK murder investigation, largely because Lyndon Johnson was an extremely powerful and ruthless.Texas senator with considerable control over everything in TX, including the Texas Democrat political machine, the police and LBJ also had deep ties to Texas billionaires and Wall Street. Some researchers believe that LBJ was the mastermind behind JFK's assassination and researcher Phillip F. Nelson wrote a book documenting his investigation on this issue: LBJ: The Mastermind of JFK's Assassination.
Anticipating ever larger crowds on the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination on November 22, 2013, the Coalition has applied for a legal permit in advance over the last three years, only to be told no permit can be issued more than a year in advance. Despite that rule, the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department informed me this year that a permit has been issued to the Sixth Floor Museum and the City of Dallas for the use of Dealey Plaza for the entire week from November 19-24, for exclusive use of the area and that no other permit can be issued for our event. The Director of the Sixth Floor Museum, Jessica Langford, has stated in the Dallas Morning News that they have no event planned for the Plaza, but they wanted to be "proactive" in preventing "a circus atmosphere" and the presentation of "conspiracy theories" in 2013. They also know quite well how many will be there listening. At one point she was asked what sort of an event they want to hold and she told the DMN reporter that she was not sure, "maybe a Moment of Silence". This direct and content-based refusal of permit for the use of a public and historical site violates the protections of the First Amendment for free speech and expression.
Now the City of Dallas is denying a permit to the JFK organizers, truthers and researchers for the week of November 19-24, 2013.
EconomicPolicyJournal.com has also followed the JFK murder and recently posted a most interesting piece that asserts that George H.W. Bush was on the ground at Dealey Plaza as a CIA operative carrying out the murder of a popular president.
A few points to start out: NBC is not an impartial media outlet. George H.W. Bush is not a respectable, admirable man or a national hero. And "33" is not an insignificant number- It is quite relevant and meaningful, in some circles at least.
NBC is owned by General Electric, a "defense contractor and the 2nd largest company in world according to Forbes", which has received over $16 billion dollars in bailouts from American taxpayers. They build and sell engines for the F-16 fighter aircraft and Apache Block III helicopters. For them, war is literally a profit racket; so it makes sense that they would "honor" warmongers.
NBC news far from impartial- they shill for the military-industrial complex and in 2003, fired Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Peter Arnett after Arnett reported the truth from Iraq....
There are no photos of George H.W. Bush in Dallas on the morning of John F. Kennedy's assassination standing in front of the Texas Book Depository in Dealey Plaza, but the photos can be seen here. The photo of the FBI memo acknowledging that Bush was a CIA opeative at that time can be seen here: "FBI director J. Edgar Hoover wrote this memo 5 days after the assassination, naming George Bush as a CIA officer... "The substance of the forgoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. V.T. Forsyth of this Bureau."
Despite the well orchestrated government cover-up at all levels (Congress, LBJ, FBI, CIA, Dallas PD, Texas public officials), much truth has surfaced on JFK's murder and researchers continue to diligently pursue the truth despite the 1964 Warren Commission ordering that all non-published official material be sealed for 75 years (2039). The public only got the government sanitized version of JFK's murder. However, Oliver Stone's 1991 film JFK stirred up an intense hornets nest and Congress passed the 1992 JFK Records Act that created the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), a committee that supposedly decides what records will be released. Although many records were released, it's generally believe that many critical records were not released and researchers continue to fight for the release of these records, here.
President Kennedy's remains may have been laid to rest but his legacy and the quest for truth, justice and peace have not and continue to haunt us to this day. During JFK's presidency, Vietnam combat deaths were 182 (16 in 1961, 53 in 1962 and 118 through 11/22/63). On 10/11/63, JFK issued National Security Action Memorandum 263 making it official that the US would withdraw from Vietnam. On November 21, 1963, JFK was given a list of the recent Vietnam casualties and he told his Assistant Press Secretary Malcolm Kilduff "After I come back from Texas, that's going to change. Vietnam is not worth another American life". The next day, JFK was dead. Had President Kennedy not been murdered, there would be no Vietnam War Memorial with the names of 58,261 dead Americans from a senseless war he morally opposed and was committed to ending. Nor would there be millions of dead Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians and others.
The Vietnam era is far from being consigned to the dustbin of history and in fact still lives on today in the very same US foreign policy that was responsible for the murder of President Kennedy. If anything, the evil forces that murdered President Kennedy are far more powerful and insidious today than they were in the 1963.
For this reason, President Kennedy's soul and legacy will never rest until truth and justice prevail and neither will America, the American people and the Kennedy family. Indeed, truth and justice are what President Kennedy not only devoted his entire life too but also sacrificed his own life for in his courageous and relentless quest to save America and humanity from the scourges of murderous militarism gone mad.
It's as if this injustice has inflicted an evil curse upon America from which we will never be able to recover our personal, family and national honor until truth and justice prevail. In many ways, the American people and the Kennedy family are forever and umbilically connected to that fateful day in Dallas on November 11, 1963.
Above all, it should be about what President Kennedy would want and anyone even remotely familiar with the works of this extraordinary man would categorically conclude that that President Kennedy would settle for nothing less than the truth because above all, he was truly a champion for truth and justice who abhorred the raw and absolute concentration of the very same secretive powers that murdered him.
But so long as that truth remains buried, the curse will follow all of us. If President Kennedy's life meant anything to him, his family and the American people, it's long overdue for all of us to honor his life and death with the truth because his scared soul can never rest in peace until he knows that his life had meaning and that his death fulfilled his destiny.

James Cameron's "Avatar" continues to race up the box office charts, remaining No. 1 domestically for the fourth straight weekend with $48.5 million and placing second among all-time top-grossing films worldwide.
The science-fiction saga from 20th Century Fox added $143 million overseas to raise its international haul to $906 million. With $429 million domestically, "Avatar" has pulled in $1.34 billion worldwide, behind only Cameron's "Titanic," which took in $1.8 billion.
In just 24 days, "Avatar" shot past the $402.1 million domestic total of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" to become the No. 1 release of 2009. Cameron's tale of humans and aliens in conflict on a distant world now stands at No. 6 on the all-time domestic chart.
The film has just over $100 million to go to pass the No. 2 domestic hit, "The Dark Knight" at $533.3 million.
"I think we'll get there very soon," said Bert Livingston, 20th Century Fox distribution executive. "I believe anything is possible with this picture. Nothing would surprise me. There's a still a long way to go, and it's going to keep on playing and playing."
The No. 2 and No. 3 box office draws remained unchanged from the previous weekend, with the Warner Bros. hit "Sherlock Holmes" in second place at $16.6 million and 20th Century Fox's "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" in third at $16.3 million. "Sherlock Holmes" raised its domestic take to $165.2 million, and "Alvin and the Chipmunks" lifted its total to $178.2 million.
Among new movies, Lionsgate's vampire thriller "Daybreakers" had the best premiere, coming in at No. 4 with $15 million. "Daybreakers" stars Ethan Hawke as a reluctant vampire racing to find a substitute for human blood in a world overrun by the undead in the near future.
Universal's romantic comedy "Leap Year" opened at No. 5 with $9.2 million. The movie stars Amy Adams as a woman who finds love in an unexpected place as she chases across Ireland to propose to her boyfriend.
The Weinstein Co. comedy "Youth in Revolt," debuted at No. 9 with $7 million. The film features Michael Cera as a teen going to extremes to win the heart of his dream girl.
"Avatar" had the best fourth weekend ever for a film, easily surpassing the previous high of $28.7 million for "Titanic," which dominated the box office for nearly four months.
The coming weekend likely will be another big one for "Avatar," with many people off next Monday for Martin Luther King Day.
Hollywood's box office roll has lingered in 2010. Overall domestic revenues came in at $156 million, up 6.6 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Gran Torino" led with $29.5 million, according to box office tracker Hollywood.com.
It was the eight-straight weekend of rising ticket sales.
"The winning streak just continues," said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com. "The momentum of 2009 is just carrying over into 2010."
Hollywood put up record revenue of $10.6 billion domestically in 2009, easily surpassing the previous high of $9.7 billion in 2007.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Avatar," $48.5 million.
2. "Sherlock Holmes," $16.6 million.
3. "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," $16.3 million.
4. "Daybreakers," $15 million.
5. "It's Complicated," $11 million.
6. "Leap Year," $9.2 million.
7. "The Blind Side," $7.8 million.
8. "Up in the Air," $7.1 million.
9. "Youth in Revolt," $7 million.
10. "The Princess and the Frog," $4.7 million.
"Avatar" Remains in Orbit With $48.5M Weekend
James Cameron's "Avatar" continues to race up the box office charts, remaining No. 1 domestically for the fourth straight weekend with $48.5 million and placing second among all-time top-grossing films worldwide.

Wolfenstein: The New Order
Yes. You read that correctly. Bethesda has announced that Wolfenstein: The New Order has a release date and that those who pre-order will also get something unexpected: access to the Doom beta.
Before you ask, we have no information on when the beta for the next Doom title will launch, but you can stay tuned here as information is released. The advertisement for beta access does appear on the boxes for last-gen and new-gen systems, though that isn't a guarantee that Id's new game is coming to older systems.
What we do know is that Wolfenstein: The New Order will be released on May 20. You'll have your pick of five platforms: Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC.
This Wolfenstein takes BJ Blazkowicz from World War II into a 1960 ruled by the Nazis. For more on Wolfenstein: The New Order, check out our early look from E3 2013.

Google Chromebooks, small laptops outfitted with Google's Chrome OS that's stripped down to exist solely using web apps, are now available for purchase. Will you be picking one up?
The first batch of Chromebooks from Acer and Samsung are now for sale at Best Buy and on Amazon, ranging in price from $380 to $500. Of course, for similar prices you could go buy a tablet, such as Apple's super-popular iPad, which will offer up similar functionality without the luxury of a keyboard.
What do you think? For basic surfing and emailing, would you prefer the form factor of a laptop or of a tablet? Google is betting on laptop, but I'm not so sure these things will come anywhere near the popularity of the iPad.

I have not found mention of "full" or "empty" in any literature I have perused. So looking through *pu*, I settled on the following:
"lupa = hole = empty"
E.g. "poki li lupa"
The cup is empty
"pini = completed = full"
E.g. "poki li pini
The cup is full.
Any thoughts? Is there already a standard convention for full/empty?

_MG_9060 Reykjavic 03-11-15 LH
Image information
I was in Reykjavic in the first week in November and I managed to get a couple of images of two auroras that occurred on the 3rd and the 9th when I was there! Taking direct images with the camera is not in my normal comfort zone but some turned out OK, many did not. Unfortunately on the 3rd they were taken from a car park in front of the hotel close to the main thoroughfare but the aurora was quite bright. On the 9th I managed to get to the sea front, although there was a major carriageway running along the front, but some came out reasonably well considering there was a lot of cloud cover and the carriageway lights caused a few obvious artifacts! They do not convey the real magic of viewing the actual aurora, even from a brightly lit city, that was true magic.

The DAQ-128 board is an 8-channel 12-bit Analog Input and 1-channel 10-bit Analog Output peripheral board. DAQ-128 has +/- 4V input range.
The control/data lines and the 5V power supply connections are available on a 20-pin (2×10) expansion connector for interfacing to existing microcontroller systems. This board can be connected either as a piggyback daughterboard on a microcontroller board (one with a matching connector) using standoffs or can be placed away from the microcontroller board using a 20-wire ribbon cable.
The expansion connector is plug-in compatible with MicroTRAK, MINI-MAX and BSCB systems. You can use it in your own system too, of course; see the manual for the expansion connector's pinout.
