The announcement of a new system in the Union Budget for parity in pensions for defence personnel is welcome news for the troops, but it has left the officer cadre fuming. Based on the recommendation of a committee headed by the Cabinet Secretary on One Rank One Pension (OROP), the government has decided to "substantially improve" the pensions of other ranks and bridge the gap between pre-2006 and post-2006 retirees. This is expected to cost the exchequer Rs 2,100 crore.
The government's announcement does not cover officers, and a large number of them have expressed disappointment at being left out. Following the announcement of the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, they had protested over what they perceived was a raw deal handed out to them.
The recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission had faced sharp criticism for widening the wedge between personnel who retired before and after January 1, 2006 - the cut off date for the implementation of new scales. While earlier the pensions of PBOR were calculated on the basis of the top of the pay scales, the 6th Pay Commission postulated a calculation at the bottom of scales at par with civilians since one single scale was now brought into force for all ranks from Sepoy to Havildar.
While the actual system of calculation remains hazy, sources say that it will substantially bring down the gap between retirees of various vintages. Ministry of Defence sources point out that the pensions of officers have always been linked to the pension calculation system in vogue for civil employees, whereas, Personnel Below Officers Rank (PBOR) have traditionally had a separate system in view of their service profile resulting in retirement starting from the age of 33 onwards. Even till 1996, retired PBOR of different eras were drawing almost the same pension, which was however upset by the 6th central pay commission, an anomaly that now stands addressed.

Reading Tea Leaves: Wen's Comments on Financial Reform
If you're looking for insight into the course of financial reform in China over the next few years, Premier Wen Jiabao's work report isn't the place to start. Many of the comments this year were boilerplate iterations of previous work reports ("We will continue to energetically develop financial markets and encourage financial innovation"). Those that weren't have already had plenty of air time over the past year ("We will expand the use of the renminbi [yuan] in cross-border trade and investment").
There were, however, a few surprises—and surprise omissions.
Among the surprises: Private equity got a shout out when Wen promised a greater role for direct financing.

The 50th Anniversary of the Cosmic Children Festival
The Cantabrian festival will celebrate its eighth edition this weekend with a special tribute to the legends of the national and international surf scene.
The Cosmic Children Festival represents the past, present and future of surfing at all levels where historic figures and charismatic characters will meet up with professional surfers from Spain as well as some international figures and promising young surfers.
On the 15 and 16 of June, the site of Valdeareanas beach, in Liencres (Piélagos) will once again host this mythical meeting of pioneers, renowned surfers and fans of retro surf. Three generations of surfing legends from all over the country are again booked in for the cosmic weekend.
The Cosmic Children Festival is the key event for people passionate for the surfing beach culture and for everyone who wants to be part of a weekend brimming with soul-surfing, live music and beach art with loads of activities and impregnated with good vibes!
The environmental part constitutes one of the main highlights and the underlying message of the festival. The location of the Valdearenas beach, framed by the Dunas de Liencres Natural Park, emphasises the organisation's ecological efforts. Surfrider Foundation Europe will also be present at the event and ensure the protection and promotion of the coast environment.
More details and the complete programme activities of the Cosmic Children Festival 2013, registrations for the beach festival and ticket sale for the concerts held at Escenario Santander will be available on the event's website www.cosmicchildren.com and Facebook page.

Perhaps the most well-known batik design for Dutch literati and other book lovers.
Chris Lebeau designed the cover, but it was in fact executed by the 'Arts and Crafts' firm of John Uiterwijk, in Apeldoorn (an enterprise that was financially backed and run by Agathe Wegerif, an influential woman in the Dutch Art Nouveau scene, and inventor of some quite handsome batik work). Marjan Groot even claims that the actual execution of the binding was in the hands of the flamboyant Wegerif, in an well-written article that can be found
It is known in five versions, including a limited edition of 40 copies on pink velvet. Several variant bindings exists, mostly grouped in four similar types, on which van Vliet in his book on the bindings of Couperus' books extensively.
Although not made in vellum, I have included it in my list here, as one of the few bindings in which the batik motifs were especially designed.

The government is sinking a further £13.7 million into four new stratified medicine collaborations funded by the Medical Research Council, which aim to develop more targeted treatments for a wide range of diseases.
The four new awards bring the total of stratified medicine consortia funded by the MRC to thirteen with investment totalling over £52 million - part of the government's £130 million commitment to stratified medicine set out in the UK Life Sciences Strategy.
According to the MRC, the thirteen collaborations have attracted more than fifty small, medium and large pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners from across the UK, Europe, the US and further afield, including China and Japan, as well as thirty-two academic partners and a number of charities.
"Bringing together UK universities, the NHS and commercial partners, these collaborations will investigate targeted treatments that will benefit patients with cancer, heart disease, asthma and lupus," Life Sciences minister George Freeman said, announcing the new investment.
"As part of our strategy for the life sciences we are bringing together industry with the assets and capabilities of researchers in universities and the NHS to revolutionise the way we look at getting better treatments into the health service and make sure that the UK remains one of the best places in the world for 21st Century medical innovation," he noted.

The Vikings quickly answered, as Nye found the back of the net in the 30th minute to tie the game at one apiece. Berry then took their first lead of the day in the 42nd minute, never trailing again. Fornuto scored off a pass from Allie Bertany to move the score to 2-1 before rounding out first half play. Radosta then added the final goal of the game in the 76th minute, ensuring the Vikings' 3-1 victory.

Circles, we see circles
The theme of the next show at the Valley Arts Council's Gallery@37 in Derby, Ct. is circles, and this is one of my three entries. I had the photo printed on canvas, just for fun.
I took the photo for my work blog when I was featuring the new Ansonia Farmer's Market and then realized that it contained several circles. Perfect!
Come one, come all to check out the artwork at our "Celebration of the Circle."
The show opens next Saturday with a 6 p.m. reception where you can meet the artists and see how they interpreted the circular theme.
The address is 37 Elizabeth St., Derby. See you at the gallery!

|Example of simulated hydraulic head and temperature
fields at the Variscan front in Belgium.
Heat flow shifts between 20 and 60 mW/m² in the upper ∼2 km of the crust and 60 to 150 mW/m² at greater depth have been observed in the Soumagne, Havelange and Grand-Halleux deep wells, all located close to the Variscan thrust front in Belgium. We have gathered geologic, hydrogeologic, thermal and paleoclimatic data and have used them to perform large-scale 2-D coupled hydro-geothermal modelling of the current temperature and heat flow distribution in the area. Calibration of the models was performed with temperature data from the three wells, and requires considerable variations in basal heat flow or heat production. Model results from several scenarios including different processes confirm that cooling by groundwater is the dominant control on the heat flow shift observed in the upper ∼2 km depth in the three boreholes; the groundwater influence, both pervasive and along major conduits, is rivalled by paleoclimatic influence only in the Grand-Halleux well. The major cooling effect by groundwater requires less than 0.5 Myr and is controlled by the present geomorphology.

There's no need for introductions, I'm just diving right in.
1) I have a massage and a pretty important doctor's appointment back to back Tuesday, and I cannot wait. At least for the massage. Jeff always says it's like there's two sticks poking out from my back-I carry so much stress in my shoulders, and I will stress FOR you. I worry too much, about everything, and hold it right up in my shoulder blades. I once had a deep tissue massage in which she could not move from a 6 inch spot on my shoulders/upper back and still didn't even get the knots out of that area. It hurt SO BAD. I've read about this scraping phenomena, anyone tried it? I scream like a baby when I remember to use my foam roller, so I'm not sure I could hang with that.
2) I'm getting back to a consistent running speed, and I couldn't be happier about it. I actually feel good running again, and that's something I've been missing for almost a year now. Last year, most of my run training was stupidly done in the worst heat of the day, which was usually around 90. I thought I was "preparing myself" for my half Ironman. Spoiler alert: heat sucks. Because you run in it once, doesn't mean it won't suck again on race day. Might as well get your training in how you can, and not just during race day conditions.
3) Does anyone else wake up to their alarm in the morning and count down how many times they have to hear that blasted thing before the weekend? When I woke up this morning and realized it's off for two days….bliss. Even better is that aside from a Superbowl Party Sunday afternoon, we have no plans this weekend. I used to be one of those girls that needed to be "out" every weekend, and I am now so excited about just staying home and all the simple pleasures that come with it. Maybe I'll get started on planning our France trip!
4) If you don't follow Mike at Running Around the Bend, you should. Very frank and insightful, and that man can run in sub zero conditions that make me cry like a little girl (if that wouldn't just freeze the tears on my face). His post "Life is not full of unicorns and rainbows" really resonated this week.
5) It sounds like Saturday night, Jeff is cooking me his first authentic Shepherd's Pie. With lamb meat. I'm excited to try it, I've really only had lamb one other time. I was just talking with friends on Facebook last night about the palate change you go through as an adult. There's so many things I crave now that I HATED as a kid. I think some of it goes back to the fact that as a kid, my parents felt obligated to feed me vegetables, but didn't really know how to prepare them. Things just got steamed, or boiled, or put in cream of mushroom soup casseroles. And none of that really tastes good to a kid-do you blame me for not loving grocery store deli cole slaw or steamed brussels sprouts as a 10 year old? Now I really appreciate both of those items when well prepared.

The new generation of NVIDIA's graphics card is certainly putting on some heat to its main competitor AMD. The competitor had to reduce the price tag of several of its graphics card as NVIDIA's series 6xx cards were better and costs less. As the company had introduced its newest lineups of the 6xx series cards, it seems that AMD just had to cut their prices some more. We are talking about the release of two entry-level products which are the GTX 650 and 660.
These two cards were priced fairly reasonable considering that the GTX 650 has an RRP of just $110 while the GTX660 comes at a price tag of only $230. While the GTX 650 sports a good performance at a low price, it cannot be compared with the GTX 660. The GTX 660 by NVIDIA is so good that it can even be compared against the high-end GTX 570. In some benchmarking test, you can also see that the GTX 570 struggled against the GTX 660.
With this being said and done, the GTX 660 and GTX 650 might just be the card that people will change to, especially if they already have a card two generations or older. At such a good price, who can afford to say no.

Spiritual Gifts: Discernment
Discernment is a gift of deep intuition and insight. Discerning people can separate truth from fiction and know at a visceral level when people are being honest. Deeply sensitive and "tuned in," those with the gift of discernment are open to feelings, new ideas, and intuition as valid and credible information. Discernment is not irrational, but trans-rational—beyond empirical—knowledge.
Reflection Questions:
- How does discernment impact your life at home, at work, in relationships with friends?
- What other gifts best complement discernment, and enable you to increase the value and impact of using your gift?
- In what ways can you deepen and increase your discerning gift?
- Where do other people see evidence of this gift in your life?

For the fourth year in a row, Henry County Public Schools has failed to make "adequate yearly progress" under federal guidelines.
Eminence Independent School met each of its goals.
According to the No Child Left Behind results released Tuesday morning, HCPS met 11 of its 13 goals, while EIS met each of its seven goals.
Eminence Superintendent Donald Aldridge said his initial reaction was "wow," and characterized the scores as "really good."
Since Kentucky's students have made significant strides academically over the years, it only makes sense that the schools themselves are also among the nation's leaders – in this case, when it comes to the cost of operating them.
Wednesday, August 6
Karate classes will be held at the Community Center from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Children's Story and Craft hour every Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. at Pleasureville Christian Church. Also, the community library at the church is open to the public from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.
HCMS Site-Based District meeting will be held at 4 p.m. at the HCMS Conference room.
Thursday, August 7
TOPS 298 will meet at Orville Baptist Church. Weigh in 4:30 p.m. and meeting at 5 p.m. New members welcome.
Man, it sure is hard to stop smiling. It's something that happens to me this same time every four years. I'm not sure what to call it. Maybe Olympicitis, acute sportsmania, or Olympic fever. The symptoms are simple: uncontrollable shaking, constant cold chills, sore cheek bones, nervousness and an intense desire to play every sport imaginable.

HillzNHollarz Off-Road Vehicle Park located just south of Lockport in the eastern section of Henry County offers the 4x4 crowd more than 450-acres of off-roading trails. They range in difficulty from easy to extreme.
Property Manager Joe Lawson said that Jeeps, ATVs or anything else that goes off-road are welcome.
The pickup truck with a bed full of watermelons and cantaloupes was backed up to the curb at the Henry County Farmers Market last Saturday. Its bumper sticker read "Born to Farm."

During the program's first out-of-state competition, the Henry County Sharp Shooters finished ninth at the National Rifle Association's annual International Youth Hunter Education Challenge last week in Mansfield, Pa. It was an impressive finish for a young team without much experience going up against the best squads from around the country.
After five seasons as an assistant basketball coach at Jacksonville State University, Joel VanMeter has recently accepted the position as an assistant at Morehead State University for the upcoming season.
VanMeter graduated from Eminence High School in 1993 and Morehead State in 2000. He also coached at Chipola Junior College in Florida, Iowa Central Community College in Iowa and St. Catherine College in Kentucky.
For those inside the Eminence Community Life Center Friday night, they were treated to some old-fashioned wrestling that provided plenty of entertainment, and along the way raised $700 for the Eastern Colts of the Henry County Youth Football League.
Henry County Public Schools will be open Thursday morning.
Though construction continues in earnest at Henry County High School, HCPS Superintendent Tim Abrams said the school is ready for students.
"That couldn't happen without all of the hard work Wehr Constructors put in," he said, adding that the district's custodial and maintenance staff, along with all of the construction project's sub-contractors, helped make it possible for the school to be open Thursday.

In case you've been hiding under an epicurean rock, macarons are the next big (if not already the big) thing in the world of sweets and pastries. Look – even The Age declared it so.
I LOVE macarons. In fact, one of my enduring memories of visiting Geneva was not the lake, the old town or the UN buildings – but visiting Laduree, buying a box containing every single flavour then lazing in a sunny park with RM and devouring them in one sitting. Yes, my capacity for macarons is quite astounding.
So when Em from It Pleases Us asked me to help with blind-tasting macarons for her friend's café, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Finally, a chance to flex some macaron muscle!
Famish'd is a breakfast-lunchtime café catering to the office crowds down the Paris end of Collins Street and its focus is on fresh, healthy food. The owner Georgia greeted us warmly, opened a bottle of wine and then down to business – six macaron makers, over sixty macarons. Crazy, huh?
Until I'd eaten many macarons side by side I'd never realised that there could be such disparity in look, texture and flavour. Some were neat little pops of colour, others looked like kiddie patty-cakes – in fact I deducted points for macarons which were inconsistently shaped. Colours varied from artificial to pallid. Flavours ranged from teeth-achingly sweet to almost undetectable. Textures sadly were mostly too gluey and dense in the middle or with large air pockets inside the biscuit. And as much as I love macarons, honestly some of them were not very nice.
Like true professionals, Em and I took a bite out of each macaron from a particular flavour (ie all pistachio, all lemon, all coffee etc), put the remainder in our takeaway boxes and made our judgements. In the end, our unanimous vote went to La Tropezienne for the best consistency in texture, flavour and pretty presentation. And Gabriel Gate agrees with us!
You'll be finding La Tropezienne's macarons at Famish'd in the next few weeks. And I guess if you go in and you don't like your macaron, you know it's partly me to blame :–)

"And indeed, the burden of Cassandra's "gift" is evident in mythology. She predicted the outcome of many disastrous events. In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."

The inventor of the modern chronograph
Founded in 1884 in the Swiss Jura, Léon Breitling devoted himself to the development of the wrist chronograph. To this day, Breitling is a great master of this complication and one of the last remaining independent and family-owned Swiss watch brands.
Thanks to its high-quality entirely Swiss made products and constant quest for innovation, the brand accompanied the boom of competitive sports, of the automobile, as well as the first feats of the aviation pioneers.
A leader in the field of mechanical chronographs, Breitling is also in the forefront of electronics in watchmaking. The brand has indeed established itself in the vanguard of innovation by creating the Emergency, the world's first wristwatch equipped with an authentic integrated dual frequency personal locator beacon as well as the Exospace B55, the instrument of the future, designed for aviation professionals.
Breitling asserts itself as a compendium of boldness, innovation and performance designed to share every challenge – on land, at sea and in the air. "You simply don't become official supplier to world aviation by chance".
This chronograph unique in its kind and featuring an ultra-technical, original yet elegant design established itself as the most iconic Breitling model and a cult object for all passionate aeronautical enthusiasts.
The Emergency is a high-tech gem equipped with a dual frequency transmitter compliant with the specifications of the Cospas-Sarsat international satellite alert system and serving both to issue alerts and to guide search and rescue missions.
Inspired by a model from the 1950s and 60s, an era when Breitling was already an "official supplier to world aviation", the new Chronoliner continues this tradition in a resolutely modern spirit.
Galactic Unitime SleekT
It crosses continents with a new Manufacture Breitling worldtime caliber affording unprecedented user friendliness. It flies straight to the future with a new ultra-resistant tungsten carbide bezel. A double revolution from Breitling.
Transocean Chronograph 1915
One century ago, Breitling created the first independent chronograph pushpiece at 2 o'clock. To celebrate this milestone invention that was to change the face of the chronograph, the brand is introducing a limited series of its Transocean model, with an exclusive new Manufacture Breitling caliber and an unusual design reinterpreting the famous 1915 pushpiece.
New Superocean
Since launching the Superocean in 1957, Breitling has consistently optimized it on both technical and functional levels – the goal being to accompany professional and military divers, as well as recreational diving enthusiasts in their underwater adventures around the world.
Breitling for Bentley
It took to the road with a 49 mm case and now returns in a special S version with a 44 mm diameter that is bound to appeal to devotees of fine mechanics offering a blend of elegance and performance.

Cambridge cracks down
Last November, the higher education minister, David Willetts, came to Cambridge to deliver a talk, in a series about 'the idea of the university' organised by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities. But as he came to the lectern, a number of audience members (both students and academics) stood up and read, or performed, collectively, a poem articulating opposition to the policies he was advocating. They continued to read and repeat the poem until after a few minutes Willetts was ushered away and the lecture and question and answer session cancelled.
In the aftermath of this, and of the small occupation of the lecture theatre that followed it, one PhD student was singled out for reprisal by the university authorities, and made subject to the university's disciplinary procedures. As earlymodernjohn asks in an eloquent blogpost today: 'What is this singling out and rash punishing of one man other than scapegoating?' And as he goes on to point out it is, actually, more: 'It's bullying.'
The scapegoating was widely felt to be unfair, and a letter signed by sixty dons and students advertising their own actual or implicit part in the protest was drafted and sent. This had no effect on the proceedings, and the hearing went ahead. Like everyone else, I expected that the student, Owen Holland, would be fined. The prosecution asked for a term's suspension, or 'rustication'. But a sense of outrage and disbelief unparalleled in my experience spread through the university today as it became known that the court had imposed a sentence of seven terms rustication which, as earlymodernjohn points out, is almost the whole period of PhD study.
I have to declare an interest at this point, as I'm Owen Holland's second supervisor, and want very much to read the work he is currently doing and which this sentence is cruelly designed to abort. But my anger, like everyone's, is directed not only at the absurd and destructive disproportion of the sentence, but at the way it uses bureaucratic authority to punish effective dissent. As earlymodernjohn says:
In representing Cambridge, the Court of Discipline hasn't just misunderstood protest, or free speech: it's forgotten what a university is supposed to be. For shame.
Milton and Dryden were both rusticated from Cambridge, it's true, for quarrelling with college authorities, and Swinburne from Oxford for speaking in support of an attempt to assassinate Napoleon III, but I don't think anyone has previously been punished in this way for reading a poem.

mountain gorilla
See under gorilla.
the largest of the anthropoid apes, Gorilla gorilla, terrestrial and vegetarian, of western equatorial Africa and the Kivu highlands, comprising the subspecies G. g. gorilla (western lowland gorilla), G. g. graueri (eastern lowland gorilla), and G. g. beringei (mountain gorilla): now rare.
an ugly, brutish person.
Slang. a hoodlum or thug, especially one who threatens or inflicts violence.
Origin of gorilla
1790–1800; < New Latin < Greek Goríllās (accusative plural) name for the females of a hairy tribe encountered in Hanno's account of his voyage along the coast of Africa (5th century b.c.)
Dictionary.com Unabridged Based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2019
the largest anthropoid ape, Gorilla gorilla, inhabiting the forests of central W Africa. It is stocky and massive, with a short muzzle and coarse dark hair
informal a large, strong, and brutal-looking man
Word Origin for gorilla
C19: New Latin, from Greek Gorillai, an African tribe renowned for their hirsute appearance
Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition © William Collins Sons & Co. Ltd. 1979, 1986 © HarperCollins Publishers 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012
1847, applied to the apes (Troglodytes gorills) by U.S. missionary Thomas Savage, from Greek gorillai, plural of name given to wild, hairy people in a Greek translation of Carthaginian navigator Hanno's account of his voyage along the N.W. coast of Africa, c.500 B.C.E. Allegedly an African word.
In its inmost recess was an island similar to that formerly described, which contained in like manner a lake with another island, inhabited by a rude description of people. The females were much more numerous than the males, and had rough skins: our interpreters called them Gorillae. We pursued but could take none of the males; they all escaped to the top of precipices, which they mounted with ease, and threw down stones; we took three of the females, but they made such violent struggles, biting and tearing their captors, that we killed them, and stripped off the skins, which we carried to Carthage: being out of provisions we could go no further. [Hanno, "Periplus"]

Weekending Monday 6th August 2012
The sun brought out the plastic big time.
White boats of all sizes zipped to and from Sharpness in bunches of threes and when two bunches met up and hit the swing bridges it was time to pull over and let the blighters go past.
I had to laugh when one old timer in his ancient narrer-boot refused to acknowledge them, let alone pull over.
While he plodded along in the middle the retired captains took things into their own hands and started passing each other and him all at the same time. I know its naughty but I was willing one of the large cruise boats to come round the corner when I took this snap.
Have you noticed that people dont take snaps any more. That must have ended when things went digital.
Tuesday was nice, we had lunch aboard with friends Dick and Jenny. I say lunch but it was getting dark by the time they left. We had a row of empty bottles (orange juice of course) and more dirty glasses than plates to sort out before bedtime. We had an excellent time.
Back up to Gloster (nowt wrong with that spelling is there?) for the weekend to pick up MiL for her summer cruise. We couldnt compete with the cruise boat Edward Elgar, she had a sax blowing keyboard-ist singer fella entertaining them all evening. He was very good and it was tempting to join EEs passengers applauding each number.
I saved someone £60 this week. I was visiting the night-soil deposit when a motorist drove up to Llanthony Lift Bridge and stopped. He was about to start off over the bridge when I beckoned to him to wind down his window.
Where are you going, says I.
Across the bridge, as my Sat-Nav tells me to, says he.
Oh-arrhh, says I, Oi wouldnt be doing that unless you want to be paying the £60 fine, I continued in my best Gloster accent.
Once the new bridge on St Ann Way came into use they disallowed Llanthony Bridge for the likes of private cars. And apparently the local govt makes thousands of pounds out of those of us still following an old version of Tom-Tom.
On Friday we took to the roads and Im hoping my good turn comes back and saves me a speeding ticket when my exuberance took us a little too smartly through a village north of Shepton Mallet.
It was Barrys funeral in Corfe Mullen so V and me trundled down to the south coast to catch the service. Terribly sad, he will be missed by a lot of people here and abroad. He had many relatives and friends in Bulgaria. One of lifes good guys, you dont see many like Barry.
As for us were having our last cruise on the Gloster and Sharpness Canal and hoping to catch a couple of sunny days where we can sit around the BBQ. If the wet stuff goes round instead of over then MiL might get a push along the tow path so she can appreciate the countryside with those excellent views of the River Severn.

The Yisrael Beitenu coalition party headed by Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman is leading the battle against the new Shabbos Law, determined to continue the fight to permit businesses to open on Shabbos if they chose too. The coalition party did not vote for the bill, and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman traveled to Ashdod on a Shabbos "to give chizuk to stores being Mechalel Shabbos" R"L.
This coming Shabbos, Absorption Minister Sofa Landver is planning to follow the example of her party's leader and she is going to visit the Big Shopping Center in Ashdod to encourage businesses that are operating to continue to do so, without fear of the law.
Members of the Yisrael Beitenu party in the Ashdod local government will be accompanying Landver on Shabbos.
Landver told the media that "The issuing if fines in Ashdod on Shabbos is scandalous. This is religious coercion and an attempt to change the status quo in the city. We must resist, and I invite the public to join us."

News Release 12-045
Researchers 'Print' Polymers That Bend Into 3-D Shapes
Technique could be used to direct growth of blood vessels or tissues in the laboratory
March 8, 2012
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
Christian Santangelo, Ryan Hayward and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently employed photographic techniques and polymer science to develop a new technique for printing two-dimensional sheets of polymers that can fold into three-dimensional shapes when water is added. The technique may lead to wide ranging practical applications from medicine to robotics
The journal Science publishes the research in its March 9 issue.
Researchers used a photomask and ultraviolet (UV) light to "print" a pattern onto a sheet of polymers, a technique called photolithography. In the absence of UV exposure, the polymer will swell and expand uniformly when exposed to water, however when polymer molecules within the sheet were exposed to UV light they became crosslinked--more rigidly linked together at a number of points--which prevented them from expanding when water was added. Patterning the amount of crosslinking across an entire sheet allowed researchers to control how much each area swelled. A second exposure to a carefully selected pattern of UV light allowed them to create specific 3-D shapes.
The work, supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development and Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers awards, is a collaborative effort between polymer engineering and physics, with both theoretical and experimental aspects.
"This paper reports an interesting fusion of experimental technique and theory to develop an innovative method for making self-actuating materials that will assume a desired three-dimensional shape," said Daryl Hess, a program director in the division of materials research at NSF.
For more information on this discovery, read the news release from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The researchers' work is described in the March 9, 2012 issue of the journal Science.

Follow the scenic Thames from Windsor to Datchet and return by train.
Distance 2.5 miles (4km)
Minimum time 1hr 15min
Ascent/gradient Negligible
Level of difficulty Easy
Paths Pavements, drive, tow path, path across meadows and playing fields, no stiles
Landscape Lowland meadows and town outskirts in Thames Valley
Suggested map aqua3 OS Explorer 160 Windsor, Weybridge & Bracknell
Start/finish SU 968772
Dog friendliness On lead in Windsor and Datchet, under control elsewhere
Parking Car park at Riverside Station, Windsor
Public toilets Riverside Station, Windsor
1 From Windsor and Eton's Riverside Station, turn right to the river bank where you will find the Donkey House pub overlooking the Thames. Pass through a set of wrought iron gates and follow Romney Walk, restored in 1993 by Windsor Heritage. The land for this footpath was presented by the Southern Railway Company in 1934. To the right are the car park and buildings of Windsor and Eton Riverside Station, where the Royal Waiting Room dates back to 1849. There are good views from here up to Windsor Castle, as well as glimpses of Eton College and its chapel through the trees beyond Romney Island.
2 Continue ahead on a drive, pass a cottage dated 1898 and a distinctive octagonal building which houses the waterworks for Windsor Castle. On reaching a boatyard, make for the water's edge and walk along the grass tow path beside the river. Eton College Boathouse is soon visible on the opposite bank. Pass under the 19th-century Black Potts railway bridge and skirt the playing fields on the right. As you approach the next bridge, veer right to the Thames Path sign at the far end of the white railings.
3 Turn left and follow the pavement over Victoria Bridge. Over to the right is the Home Park. Bear right on the far side and follow the Thames Path through the trees, with delightful views of the Thames and the Home Park beyond. On reaching the road, turn right along the B470 and then bear left into Datchet High Street.
4 Walk along to the green and make your way to the railway station for your return train.
Windsor Castle was founded as a fortress by William the Conqueror and has been substantially altered and extended over the centuries. The most recent work undertaken followed the much publicised fire in 1992. During his reign George IV spent nearly £1 million on improving the castle. The dominant feature is its Round Tower, built by Henry II and visible for miles around. Parts of the castle are open to the public, though the state apartments are closed when the Queen is in residence.
With its legendary reputation, Eton College still represents one of this country's great institutes of learning - Gladstone described it as the 'Queen of Public Schools'. On its famous playing fields, according to Wellington, the Battle of Waterloo was won.
In May 1990 the college celebrated a remarkable achievement - its 550th anniversary. It was founded in 1440 by Henry VI who was only 19 at the time - even more remarkable. Eton is modelled on Winchester College, and is the second oldest public school in the country. Originally it accommodated 70 poor scholars who were educated free of charge. The boys of Eton College still wear black tailcoats in mourning for George III, their favourite monarch.
Eton College chapel is similar in many ways to the chapel of Kings College, Cambridge, also founded by Henry VI. It was built between 1449 and 1482 and the chapel you see here today was originally to have been the choir for a much larger, more majestic place of worship. The splendid vaulted ceiling and the impressive 15th-century wall paintings are two of the college chapel's most distinguished features. Raised 13ft (4m) above ground, the college chapel is safe from flooding should the Thames burst its banks.
The pleasant riverside village of Datchet has strong literary associations. The main road to Windsor, at the southern end of the High Street, was the Datchet Lane in William Shakespeare's comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602). Falstaff was transported along this road on his way to face the ordeal of a ducking in the Thames. The village is also mentioned in Jerome K Jerome's famous book, Three Men in a Boat (1889).
Just before the turn of the century, and again soon after the Second World War, Datchet suffered serious flooding when the swollen Thames caused a pond in the centre of the village to overflow. Several anxious residents were isolated in their homes.
Plenty of choice in Windsor, including pubs, restaurants and tea rooms. Try the Royal Stag at Datchet. Overlooking the green and once home of Robert Barker, printer to Elizabeth I, the pub offers snacks and more substantial dishes.
Frogmore House, set in the private Home Park, is renowned for its splendid landscaped garden and 18th-century lake. Queen Victoria wrote of it: 'All is peace and quiet and you only hear the hum of bees, the singing of the birds'. She built a mausoleum for herself and her husband, Prince Albert, in the garden. Frogmore is open to the public on a limited number of days during the year.
Victoria Bridge dates back to the mid-19th century and was partly designed by Prince Albert. Over to the right of it is the Home Park, consisting of 4,000 acres (1,620ha). Closed for security reasons, it was created as a private riverside park for Queen Victoria. The present Queen has come under attack on occasions for not providing public access to the park.

On the 8th September 2015 I headed to the University of Manchester to attend the 3 days of conference and fun at ALT-C (The Association of Learning Technologists Conference).
It brings together Learning Technologists, academics and all those interested in the use of technology to support and enhance learning and teaching. This post sums some of my most memorable parts.
I had made a point of meeting up with friends and old work colleagues Hayley and James. We have all moved on to new institutions but keep in touch sharing experiences and ideas, ALT-C provides the perfect opportunity to do this face to face.
The conference always starts with the challenge of which sessions to go. This year I had read through eh programme and had an idea of what might be good but as the 3 days go on the list always changes. The only think that was a definite fixture in the 3 days was the treasure hunt on day 2. I first met Hayley doing a treasure hunt at the University of Leeds using AR and knew that there was no way we would miss out on doing another one. Another feature of the conference this year was the ALT_C game which ran across the 3 days and introduced the attendees to the idea of gamification. There was stickers awarded for arriving at a session first, talking to suppliers and completing a wide range of activities. The delegates were split into 4 coloured teams to compete to take on the EvilBot. The game finished with the winning team taking on Evilbot on the last day of the conference.
As with previous conferences there was a big social media presence, it is always good to see what is going on in parallel sessions and bookmark shared papers for reading later.
The conference started with a keynote from Steve Wheeler about the changes in technology and how we use it. He also brought 2 of his students to talk about their experiences. I think it is always important to hear student feedback direct from them but also to engage them in the conversation. Faceless surveys gather data but they often miss the human element and as many are anonymised it is hard to follow up specific comments or suggestions.
As I moved through sessions on Day 1 I learnt about how different staff have used technologies in their university and the research they have done into the impact of them. Firstly was Chris Gillies talking about the comparisons, barriers and enablers of BYOD and institutionally supplied devices. This work is really useful as we think about how we support staff and students to use devices within Leeds Beckett. The first day ended with the gala dinner. As part of the ALT-C game we had 'craft' activities on the tables to make hats and decorate them. My table took to this task with great enthusiasm.
The keynote delivered by Jonathan Worth on day 2 was enlightening and thought provoking, well worth a watch if you spare the time. Day 2 highlight was charging around and completing the treasure hunt. It was good to learn about a new website by using and engaging it. The site called ActionBound was really easy to use and with the demonstration of setting up looked like something work investigating further to add interest to induction activities and maybe add some fun to staff development sessions. I also went to sessions about the value of lecture capture, it was a great session to be in to talk and discuss the value of lecture capture and why it is useful.
The final day saw the ALT-C game end and the Evilbot defeated (it ended with a piñata style robot). The game was good and brought a thread to the whole event.
This is just a very brief summary of the some of the things I saw and heard. There is a huge amount of information available from the event and I will be going back to them in the future to support and guide my thinking about the use of technologies in learning and teaching. Here is the link for all the resources.

To get loose curls like Vanessa Hudgens, prepare the hair, curl 1-inch sections, loosen the curls and finish with two types of spray. Curling your hair takes roughly 30 minutes and requires a root volumizer, heat therapy serum, shine serum, shine spray, light-hold hair spray, a comb, hair clips and a wide-barrel curling iron.
- Prepare your hair
Spray damp hair with a root volumizer, and blow dry. Spray heat therapy serum all over your hair to protect it from the curling iron. Divide hair into three horizontal sections, clipping the top two.
- Curl sections of hair
Section off a 1-inch segment of hair. Clamp the curling iron around the center of the strand. As you wind it around, release the clamp slightly so that the iron works its way down the strand. This protects the ends from damage. Alternate the direction of the curls.
- Spray the hair
After completing one section of curls, lightly mist the hairspray over the section. Drop the next section of hair, and continue curling. Repeat the above procedure for the final two sections of hair.
- Curl the front
Curl the entire front section of hair away from your face.
- Loosen the curls
Apply the shine serum to your fingertips. Flip your head upside down. Finger comb your hair, and scrunch the ends, distributing the shine serum.
- Finish your hair
Finish your hair with a final mist of hairspray and of spray shine. Do not comb or brush the curls.

East African Agriculture and Climate Change: a Comprehensive Analysis
The second of three books in IFPRI's climate change in Africa series, East African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis examines the food security threats facing 10 of the countries that make up east and central Africa - Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda - and explores how climate change will increase the efforts needed to achieve sustainable food security throughout the region. East Africa's populations is expected to grow at least through mid-century. The region will also see income growth. Both will put increased pressure on the natural resources needed to produce food, and climate change makes the challenges greater. East Africa is already experiencing rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and increasing extreme events. Without attention to adaptation, the poor will suffer.
Through the use of hundreds of scenario maps, models, figures, and detailed analysis, the editors and contributors of East African Agriculture and Climate Change present plausible future scenarios that combine economic and biophysical characteristics to explore the possible consequences for agriculture, food security, and resources management to 2050. They also offer recommendations to national governments and regional economic agencies already dealing with the vulnerabilities of climate change and deviations in environment.

New data from Kantar Media Compete's Online Shopper Intelligence report shows that in the last quarter (July-September 2011) 40 percent of online shoppers in the UK made an online purchase at least once a week. The average three month spend online is dominated by grocery, furniture and electronics purchases.
Sixty-nine percent of online shoppers indicate that they research a particular product in a shop before purchasing, but 67 percent will buy the product online because they believe that they get better prices. Over half also appreciate the flexibility and convenience of 24 hour shopping on e-commerce sites.
John Thekanady, Client Services Director, Kantar Media Compete UK stated: "While the cost of living is increasing year-on-year, it is no surprise that many consumers are choosing to research carefully where the best savings can be made. If that means visiting a shop to research a product, but then purchasing it online to save money, then it shows that UK shoppers are becoming savvier, perhaps out of necessity."
"It is invaluable for marketers to know that the majority of shoppers are likely to research purchases online and/or offline prior to buying, regardless of where the final purchase takes place. This requires that brands have integrated offline and online strategies to maintain relevance with consumers or they could lose out on vital sales," said John Thekanady, Client Services Director, Kantar Media Compete.

so you can breathe easier
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease that can make it hard to take a simple breath.
That's why it's important to work with your doctor to develop the right treatment plan to help you manage your breathing for the long term. COMBIVENT RESPIMAT is a COPD treatment that delivers 2 different medicines in a single inhaler to help you breathe easier.
Here's how COMBIVENT RESPIMAT helps you breathe easier:
- Relaxes the muscles in your airways to help open them
- For many people, begins working in 15 minutes
- Combines 2 medicines proven to work better together than alone in a single inhaler
- Used daily, taking it 4 times a day may help keep your airways open
Not to exceed 6 inhalations in 24 hours. Follow directions from your doctor.
Do not use COMBIVENT RESPIMAT more often than your doctor has directed. Deaths have been reported with similar inhaled medicines in asthma patients who use the medicine too much. Seek immediate medical attention if your treatment with COMBIVENT RESPIMAT becomes less effective for symptomatic relief, your symptoms become worse, and/or you need to use the product more frequently than usual.

PRAGUE, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The proportion of non-residents holding Czech state domestic bonds decreased further to 37.77 percent in January from 41.64 percent in December, Finance Ministry data showed on Wednesday.
Investors jumped into Czech bonds last year on bets the crown would gain after the central bank released it from a currency cap, which it ended last April. It has followed up with three interest rate hikes since August.
Foreigners held a record 51.35 percent of domestic bonds in September and their share has been decreasing since then.
The crown is 5.8 percent stronger against the euro since the cap was removed. (Reporting by Mirka Krufova Editing by Robert Muller)

Still in the mood of semester holidays. There are three months left before I am once again will be entering campus for the second semester. Few days ago, my sister came out with this idea of grilling Ayam Percik. She sponsored everything and the only thing left for me to do was grilling. We bought RM40 of chicken drumsticks and walllahhhh!
|#1 Ayam direbus dengan kunyit dan garam
#2 Kuah dimasak
|Panas gila sementara nak tunggu kayu api menjadi bara
I was in the duty of grilling but first, I had to lighten up the kayu api before the grilling process can take place. The night was very warm and playing with fire was a major mistake. I had to bear with the heat for almost an hour before I could grill those chickens. Luckily we were doing it at the balcony so that I had the chance to play songs as loud as I wanted - boredom and pressure were effectively lessened.
|Dalam proses...
This process wasn't exactly my job anymore since I surrendered after my face was burned for an hour. My sister took the responsibility form here and I was away on Facebook. lol. That means I have nothing to write about it since I know nothing.
Hope you get it...till then, that is how

I hope it's alright I entered your challenge - I didn't see that actually people are asking if they are able to join
Though, I really wish your sister likes that drawing, don't want to disappoint her :D - I've done my best, but it got a little bit changed when I scanned it, and I'm actually pretty nervous when it comes to thinking, if it's really good enough for entering anywhere :p
However, what's more important: I hope your sister had a great birthday - or will have, I'm not sure So, happy birthday, Nikki!
And I have to say, it's a really nice idea to get your sister drawn! :)
Oh, by the way, it's my very first entry on here, so don't be too hard with judging me, haha! Though, constructive critics are always welcome of course, and I'm happy to be able to get better!
(I hope it's okay I dedicated my picture to you? Thought I drew it for your challenge, so it would be fitting, right?)

Spanish engineers will set alight a rail tunnel in Alicante today to test a new emergency management system.
The system, developed as a part of the Firetunnel project, has already been tested in a laboratory and the team believes it will facilitate evacuation of passengers and staff in case of railway fire accidents.
"Our project will improve the efficiency of emergency plans making staff's work easier and helping to reduce the number of victims as evacuations will be more effective," said Teresa Real, researcher at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain, one of the institutions developing the system.
The system consists of four closely interconnected subsystems - a fire-detection, anti-propagation, ventilation and information sub-system. The first sub-system, capable of detecting and locating fire throughout the length of the tunnel sends information to the anti-spread, ventilation and information subsystems, which then respond accordingly.
The anti-propagation subsystem activates the unfolding of a flameproof fabric on either side of the fire to prevent it from spreading, whilst leaving an opening in the top to allow a controlled expulsion of the smoke from the upper layers and avoid it mixing with the clean air from the lower layers.
The ventilation system kicks in in this moment, expelling the smoke from the tunnel. "This system is designed to expel it as fast as possible so as to prevent it from cooling and mixing with clean air," Real said.
Finally, the information subsystem starts flashing warning messages along the tunnel indicating the fastest and safest evacuation route.
The mock-up fire will take place in the Serra Grossa tunnel in Alicante, verifying correct functioning of the whole system. The exercise will be closely monitored by Alicante's firefighters and the city's Department of Safety.

So let's get the bad news over with first. The Dutch lost to the Danes today in their first match in the 2012 Euro Cup. Ouch. I won't go in to a lot of detail about it; I really don't want to have to relive it. I will say I learned an important lesson, though: I am so going to call our insurance agent before the 2014 World Cup and take out a new life insurance policy on the Dutchman. As much as he yelled and cussed out the boys in orange on the TV today, he might just stroke out if they play like that again. Holland's loss might be my financial gain. Hello early retirement!
Just kidding.
However, all was not lost today. We headed over to the First Annual High on the Hog BBQ Contest at Whitehall Plantation on Lady's Island. All the barbecue samples you could eat, beer, ice cream, and ice cold slices of watermelon; with all proceeds benefiting Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity.
Ladies and gentlmen, swallow an extra cholesterol pill, put on your stretchy pants, and get your plastic forks out because it is time for some 'que!
We tried out more than a dozen samples of ribs and butts today from pit masters from all over South Carolina, North Carolina and coastal Georgia. Not actual butts, mind you, just a cut of meat called "Boston Butt." We do eat some weird stuff in the South like fatback and boiled peanuts, and we put enough sugar and ice in our tea to make your cavities freeze but we aren't THAT crazy.
The Dutchman and I thought S'Lowcountry Q was hands down the best barbecue. Their Carolina Gold mustard-based sauce was phenomenal. I know some barbecue experts think it is blasphemous to drinch the meat in sauce but I couldn't help it. This sauce was awesome! I think other people must have agreed with us, too. When we went back for seconds they had run out of barbecue and the Carolina Gold sauce container was almost empty.
We even took Marley, our sweet old beagle with us. I think she thought we took her to Doggie Disneyland or something. People played with her and rubbed her ears, she got to eat barbecue galore, and all of this involved her favorite activity besides napping: riding in the car!
So how was it all? I think Marley's expression during the car ride home speaks for itself:
Stick a fork in me, I'm done. It's time for a nap.

Can't we all just get along? If you're Google and Microsoft, the answer has never been more clear. While pointing the finger at faulty security, the search engine outfit announced yesterday that it will no longer allow employees to use the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Attacks from Overseas
Google claims the catalyst for their decision was China's attack on computers utilizing Windows and Internet Explorer 6. The incident occurred early this year, and, thanks to weak spots, resulted in the theft of Google intellectual property, believed to be source code.
The attack reportedly also involved attempts to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. Meanwhile, Google also discovered that dozens of other activists utilizing Gmail had had their accounts routinely accessed by third parties, likely as a result of phishing scams or malware.
That's It, It's Over
Google employees, which were previously able to request their preferred operating system, will now only have Linux or Mac to choose from. Concurrently, Google's been encouraging employees to use the company's own Chrome operating system as well.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt hinted at the ousting during Google's Atmosphere 2010 Conference earlier this year. "Our Web services and Web platforms will be inherently more secure" he said. "Hold us to this."
Google is Going Google
Though the change came as a surprise to some of Google's internal folk, we can't exactly say we're surprised. Google's been a Google-only kind of company for quite some time now, and has this year released several tools specifically designed to pull Microsoft users over to the G side:
Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook
This desktop utility allows Microsoft Outlook users import their existing mail, personal contacts, and calendar events from a Microsoft Exchange account or PST file into a Google Apps Premier Edition or Education Edition account.
Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes
Google Apps Migration for Lotus Notes is a native Notes database tool that migrates mail, calendar, contacts, and group information from your Notes accounts to Google Apps.
Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange
Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange makes it easy for administrators to migrate email, calendar and contacts from on-premise or hosted Microsoft Exchange.
