Grade 1-2 | Easiest to Easy
Embrace unique adventures, friendly locals and gold mining history along the Hauraki Rail Trail, one of the easiest cycle tracks in New Zealand.
Pick up a rental bike in Thames, the main centre of The Coromandel, and enjoy a relaxed start to the day with a cafe breakfast before starting your journey on the trail. As you pass the historic Shortland Street Wharf, the trail takes you across the fertile plains, following the Waihou River and the forest-clad Coromandel ranges, cloaked in lush green forest. Before arriving in Paeroa, the trail winds through Matatoki – don't miss the opportunity to experience artisan cheese makers at work at the Cheese Barn.
Accommodation: Paeroa
This leg of the Hauraki Rail Trail traverses the spectacular Karangahake Gorge, which boasts beautiful scenery and impressive mining relics. Riders of all ages will enjoy the 1km long rail tunnel (make sure you take a torch), and across the river there are plenty of places to lock up your bike and explore the old mining tunnels, including the must-see Windows Walk. Further on, the staircase Owharoa Falls is the perfect place to relax with a picnic. Or you might like to stop at Ohinemuri Winery, or the Bistro at The Falls Retreat for a relaxing lunch break. Reaching Waihi in the afternoon, be sure to visit the Waihi Gold Discovery Centre to hear the tales of yesteryear, and descend deep into the bowels of the Martha Mine for an insight into modern mining techniques.
Accommodation: Waihi
Choose to either begin the day with a ride on the vintage Goldfields Railway (cutting 10km off the trail), or setting out from Waihi town. If you choose to cycle from Waihi town, today's distance is 45km.
Soak up the lush green country scenery on this last leg of the journey, overlooked by 952m-high Mount Te Aroha – the highest point in the Kaimai Ranges. The historic spa town of Te Aroha signals the end of the trail. The town is home to Mokena Geyser, the world's only natural soda water geyser. The Te Aroha Mineral Spa makes for the perfect end to the day – indulge in a massage or soak weary cycling bodies in the heated mineral pools.
Accommodation: Te Aroha

The Internet is hard at work debating the merits of the Nexus 7 tablet, and the biggest arguments are about the lack of expandable storage, or an SD card, as you likely know it. It seems like everyone and their brother has a theory about why the hottest tablet to hit Android so far will be shipping without one. The most popular reason revolves around some conspiracy that Google is to forcing you to use its cloud services. While I'm sure Google would love nothing more than users depending on Google Drive or Google Music -- and there's certainly a big push for it -- that's not the reason devices have been trending away from expandable storage.
Wanna know what it really is? Sure you do.
The lack of an SD card in Nexus devices is nothing new, and we've been over this issue already when the Galaxy Nexus first appeared.
We got tired of seeing OEMs include many GB of internal storage for music, while users were still running out of space for apps and data. This approach lets us merge everything on one volume, which is way better.
-- Dan Morrill, Android engineer at Google
Google still supports removable storage in Android, but it is leading by example and providing phones (and now a tablet) with one big block of storage that users can use for anything they like -- be it media, documents, or apps. There are a couple of side benefits to this approach as well. The first one is a bit geeky -- it allows the device to use ext file systems instead of a mix of ext and FAT. This is faster and safer -- both for the data on the device and the way it's handled, and access to our own personal data. A journalized file system means fewer file errors, and ext preserves file system permissions so random code can't find your pictures or documents folder.
Another benefit is that the host machine (when your device is connected to a computer) can't muck things up and molest the file system, as it doesn't have block-level access to the files. Instead, a proxy FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) file system is used to mount a psuedo-SD card folder so that your computer can read and write to it via MTP. This means you won't get errors from incorrectly unmounting your phone, and the device still has access to all the data even while plugged into a PC.
Does Google want you to use Google Play and its cloud services? Of course it does. But there is no secret evil cabal in Mountain View that held back the SD card slot to force it on you. In fact, you're still free to use other cloud solutions like Amazon, Dropbox, or even a shared drive on your desktop PC. Nobody has to like the fact that Nexus devices ship with no SD card slot, but let's stop looking for conspiracies when we already know the answer.

Dir: Jamie Chambers. UK. 2013. 90mins
A low key and rather lyrical Scottish drama, the elegantly staged Blackbird is about the passing of the old ways, as a rather strange and sensitive young man with a passion for old Scottish folk songs tries to preserve the ancient cultural part of village life, while at same time feeling the lure of escape to the big city.
Beautifully shot and knowingly artistic.
The notion of lack of opportunity for young people in remote villages and towns is a familiar one, but the most intriguing aspect of the film is Ruadhan (Andrew Rothney) and his longing for old folk songs that he learns from the elderly folk of the community.
His presentation as a hyper-sensitive type is given further weight by the fact that he spends much of his time in an old and battered boat that sites high-and-dry in a field and wanders round with a sack full of odd objects and detritus he collects during his ramblings.
A solitary and brooding soul, he has a relationship of sorts with local girl Amy (an impressive Scarlett Mack) who has reluctantly returned to the community, but his character is too strange and complex for this to be the driver of the film. Instead it is his friendship with the elderly and the happiness has finds when he hears them sing old folk songs that what defines him.
Beautifully shot and knowingly artistic, Blackbird may well be too mannered and inaccessible for mainstream release, but its qualities could well appeal to other festivals.The film had its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Having annual service done is critical for performance and the continued operation of your cooling system. When you have us help with cleaning troubleshooting and tightening, our fully NATE certified techs will be able to eliminate many of the potentially major repairs while maximizing efficiency and keeping your system up and running safely and effectively.
A/C Repair Service by NATE Certified Technicians
Forgoing annual inspection, there can be a great amount of dirt and debris that will build up at numerous points throughout your system. Organic matter like mold spores, pollen and insect colonies or decomposing rodents can result in bacteria, which can then get infused into your home when the summer heat prompts the use of your A/C unit. Dirt can also cut back on the efficiency of your system. While mold, mildew and dust will accumulate, the coils are insulated to prevent heat absorption. When the air flow is restricted, condensation could freeze and result in a complete blockage of the coil. Motors that are overworked and too much wear and tear can lead to costly air conditioning repairs.
Experienced HVAC Repair Service

Lexington, MA - November 8, 2012 - Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp., a leader in the development of innovative drug candidates to address significant diseases of the eye, today announced that a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of its novel eye-drop trabodenoson, also known as INO-8875, in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension successfully achieved its primary and secondary endpoints. The data were presented at the Ophthalmology Innovation Summit in Chicago, IL. Trabodenoson was found to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) by approximately 7 mmHg at 28 days (p< 0.001) and was safe and well tolerated with very good ocular tolerability and less eye redness (hyperemia) than currently approved glaucoma treatments.
Trabodenoson is a first-in-class, highly selective A1 subtype adenosine mimetic for glaucoma and ocular hypertension that binds to epithelial cells in the trabecular meshwork, up-regulating gelatinases that clean out and remodel the meshwork, increasing outflow and restoring a healthier IOP.
"These Phase 2 trabodenoson results are highly encouraging, with the efficacy and safety data suggesting the potential for a glaucoma treatment with a profile superior to currently approved drugs," said Rudolf A. Baumgartner, MD, Inotek's Executive Vice President, Chief Medical Officer. "Additionally, based on pharmacodynamics observed in this study, we are also encouraged by the possibility of once-daily dosing, and look forward to exploring this profile in future trials."
In the Phase 2 study, trabodenoson was found to be safe and well tolerated. Trabodenoson demonstrated: very good ocular and systemic tolerability; reduced hyperemia compared with the current first-line treatment for glaucoma, prostaglandin-based drugs; and no iris pigmentation. Patients receiving trabodenoson experienced IOP reductions of approximately 7 mmHg at 28 days (p-value < 0.001) and about one third of subjects had a response of 8 mmHg or greater. Based on the doses studied so far, the magnitude of IOP reduction is comparable to the efficacy range of prostaglandins, and superior to that of currently approved second-line therapies. Notably, efficacy was found to improve with duration of treatment, and a pharmacodynamic effect was present 24 hours after the last dose, signaling the potential for once-a-day dosing which will be evaluated in future studies.
"Trabodenoson is one of the most promising glaucoma drug candidates in development based on its novel mechanism of action, the safety and efficacy observed to date, and the potential for once-daily dosing." commented Dr. Jonathan Myers, Director of Glaucoma Fellowship at the Wills Eye Institute. "It appears that trabodenoson works directly at the site most affected in glaucoma, the trabecular meshwork. In glaucoma, the meshwork loses its ability to let aqueous
humor pass easily out of the eye, and with trabodenoson the meshwork's permeability to fluid is restored. If these data are born out in further clinical evaluation, trabodenoson could shift the paradigm of treatment for patients with glaucoma."
"These data confirm our belief that trabodenoson has the potential to be a novel and important treatment option for patients," said Paul G. Howes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inotek. "Based on these very strong results, Inotek is planning a comprehensive late-stage clinical development program for trabodenoson, including trials that should complete Phase 2 development for trabodenoson as a first-line treatment, and trials to explore its efficacy in combination with a prostaglandin."
The recently completed Phase II trial was a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of trabodenoson delivered as an eye-drop formulation in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The trial enrolled 144 patients with IOP greater than or equal to 24 mmHg.
About Trabodenoson for Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness globally, and it is broadly accepted that lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma is the only clinically reliable means of slowing the progression of vision loss. Current products for glaucoma, such as beta blockers and prostaglandins, lower IOP by reducing the flow of fluid into the eye or increasing its drainage through a secondary pathway in the eye – the uveoscleral pathway. However, as glaucoma advances with age, outflow through the eye's trabecular meshwork becomes increasingly difficult as drainage channels narrow, and it is more difficult to lower pressure and slow vision loss only by increasing uveoscleral outflow. As a result, many patients do not respond adequately to the currently approved products, and up to 40% of patients are treated with a combination of products in the hope of achieving targeted reductions in IOP. There remains an unmet need for innovative glaucoma products acting on the pressure sensitive trabecular meshwork to provide improved IOP-lowering efficacy.
Trabodenoson has significant potential as an IOP-lowering medicine, either as monotherapy or in combination with other glaucoma products, because it restores the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork. As validation of its complementary mechanism to other glaucoma products, trabodenoson has shown substantial additivity of IOP-lowering efficacy when combined with the leading glaucoma medicine (latanoprost) in a preclinical model. As a highly selective adenosine-1 receptor agonist, trabodenoson has a novel mechanism differentiating it from currently approved products and other candidates in development for glaucoma in that it enhances an innate cellular signaling pathway to improve outflow through the trabecular meshwork.

It was just a 90 minute flight from London's Gatwick Airport to Nice Airport where a quiet young man was waiting with a nice car to whisk us to our hotel. Gatwick which we reached in 35 minutes on the Gatwick Express train was a much quieter and less crowded airport than Heathrow. In Nice we were greeted by brilliant blue skies and a comfortable temperature of 19 degrees.
Already we have met some of our fellow cruisers and all are enthusiastically looking forward to being collected at 12:15 pm tomorrow for delivery to our ship that is moored just near our hotel. Our first job when we get on board is to find the laundry and wash our clothes; some of them are suffering from being washed in washbasins and baths for the last five weeks.

It's official! The Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo (Tolypeutes tricinctus) is the mascot of the 2014 FIFA World Cup which will take place in Brazil.
This poorly known species, which is found only in Brazil, is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™. It was believed to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1988 in a handful of locations. The Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo is quite unique as when threatened, it rolls up into an almost impenetrable ball with its ears tucked into the shell and the head and tail interlocked to seal the shell completely. It is one of only two species of armadillo (the other is the Southern Three-banded Armadillo) that can roll into a ball.
"We are sure that the fact that a threatened species is featured in such an important event will not only trigger conservation initiatives to save the Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo from extinction, but also help increase awareness for biodiversity conservation in general," said Dr Mariella Superina, Chair, IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Anteater, Sloth and Armadillo Specialist Group.
Brazilian NGO, Associação Caatinga, led the campaign to make the Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo the mascot of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The IUCN SSC Anteater, Sloth and Armadillo Specialist Group, along with The Nature Conservancy, have now joined Associação Caatinga as partners in the next stage of the campaign to increase awareness of this wonderful species and generate additional funding for conservation.
Scientific projects aimed at the long-term conservation of the Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo resulting from this funding will be coordinated by the Deputy Chair of the IUCN SSC Anteater, Sloth and Armadillo Specialist Group, Dr Flávia Miranda. Projects will include; scientific research; campaigns to raise awareness for conservation issues among the general public, especially, the local population; the creation of protected areas; and other actions that will help reduce the pressures on the Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo, known locally as "tatu-bola".
Found mainly in dry thorn scrub of north-eastern Brazil, but also in bush savannah in central Brazil, this species of armadillo does not dig holes but instead lives in abandoned burrows. Measuring about 27cm, it is nocturnal and feeds on ants and termites as well as any grubs or spiders it encounters. It finds food by shuffling slowly along with its nose to the ground. When it detects prey, it frantically digs a hole and thrusts its nose into it, using its long, sticky tongue to lap up any food it finds.
The Brazilian Three-banded Armadillo is threatened by heavy hunting pressure and habitat loss. One of the main causes of deforestation in the Caatinga - one of the areas this species of armadillo is found - is the extraction of native forest for the production of firewood. Plantations of biofuel crops and cattle ranching are additional problems that significantly affect its habitat.
As football fans eagerly anticipate the next FIFA World Cup, armadillo fans and conservationists look forward to seeing the results of increased awareness and funding for this unique and unusual looking species.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The evangelical Christian broadcaster whose much-ballyhooed Judgement Day prophecy went conspicuously unfulfilled on Saturday has a simple explanation for what went wrong — he miscalculated.
Instead of the world physically coming to an end on May 21 with a great, cataclysmic earthquake, as he had predicted, Harold Camping, 89, said he now believes his forecast is playing out "spiritually," with the actual apocalypse set to occur five months later, on October 21.
Camping, who launched a doomsday countdown in which some followers spent their life's savings in anticipation of being swept into heaven, issued his correction during an appearance on his "Open Forum" radio show from Oakland, California.
The headquarters of Camping's Family Radio network of 66 U.S. stations had been shuttered over the weekend with a sign on the door that read, "This Office is Closed. Sorry we missed you!"
During a sometimes rambling, 90-minute discourse that included a question-and-answer session with reporters, Camping said he felt bad that Saturday had come and gone without the Rapture he had felt so certain would take place.
Reflecting on scripture afterward, Camping said it "dawned" on him that a "merciful and compassionate God" would spare humanity from "hell on Earth for five months" by compressing the physical apocalypse into a shorter time frame.
But he insisted that October 21 has always been the end-point of his own End Times chronology, or at least, his latest chronology.
The tall, gaunt former civil engineer with a deep voice and prominent ears has been wrong before. More than two decades ago, he publicly acknowledged a failed 1994 prophecy of Christ's return to Earth.
To publicize his latest pronouncement, the Family Radio network posted over 2,000 billboards around the country declaring that Judgement Day was at hand, and believers carried the message on placards in shopping malls and street corners.
Asked what advice he would give to followers who gave up much or all of their worldly possessions in the belief that his Judgement Day forecast would come true, Camping drew a comparison to the nation's recent economic slump.
"We just had a great recession. There's lots of people who lost their jobs, lots of people who lost their houses ... and somehow they all survived," he said.
"People cope, he added. "We're not in the business of giving any financial advice. We're in the business of telling people maybe there is someone you can talk to, and that's God."

The incorporation of technology in the classroom has greatly changed how the modern classroom operates. New technologies allow students new experiences that would otherwise be unavailable to them. Web-based social networking sites are no different.
Here is a list of sites and benefits different sites offer the modern classroom:
- easy way to share class ideas outside of class (post important ideas in group discussion section)
- allows for direct communication with the teacher outside of class
- create a class identity even outside of class by promoting interaction between students and teacher outside of class
- guide class discussion by projecting live feed in front of class with questions posted by students in real time and real time discussion
- develope in-class community by providing a place for positive, academic class chatter
- students or teacher post questions to class inside or outside of class for quick response by either students or the teacher
- class blog for each student where they write responses to each class or reading and present their thoughts on the subject in a more free writing location
- allows for guest speakers to present without being present in class
Some educational researches are already citing the possible benefits of these technologies. In a Social Media Workshop this August (2010), Sarah Eaton showed the possible use of Skype as a way to conference and connect with international students as well as for presentations and workshops in foriegn language classrooms. She also said that because of the accesibility of Skype it could work as, "an excellent stepping stone for those who are no entirely 'fluent' with more sophisticated technologies" (Eaton, 1). Kate Messner published a piece in the School Library Journal this past December (2009) showing how Twitter can be effectively used in an English classroom, connecting students with the authors and editors to discuss the process of writing, "And just like that, my classroom has grown. No longer just 15 kids and a teacher. It's all of us, plus a children's author in Virginia, a book editor at her desk in SoHo, and another half dozen children's writers from around the country, all talking about writing and revision" (Messner, 1). While Messner states the difficulties of incorporating new technologies, such as Twitter, because of school bans on social netwroking sites, if used properly by the teacher, they could make the classroom more inviting to students. The link below is a YouTube video interview showing how Facebook can be integrated into class assignments.
Video for Twitter Use in the Classroom
5 Comments
I really liked this page. I had never heard of using Twitter to allow students to ask questions to their teacher/professor before and thought that it was a very interesting idea. I would be interested to see that used at the University of Iowa and wonder if any teachers here use that idea. I also like the idea of using Blogs for English writing assignments to give students the opportunity to use technology in their classroom experiences.
I have had a guest speaker "come" to our classroom to talk to us from California all the way to Iowa. It wasn't that hard to set up, and we got to talk to a famous physicist. Have you had experiences like this in your classrooms? I'd like to be able to use technology like this for my students, but I'm afraid of privacy when using facebook, etc.
Although I think that using facebook to communicate with students about assignments would be convenient, I would be worried about maintaining professionalism. Parents might be concerned that teachers talk to their students on facebook. Also wouldn't you have to friend them on facebook them? Then your students could see your profile which also might not be a good idea. Does anyone else have an idea on how to get around these issues?
While you all presented, I couldn't help but see similarities with technologies, such as Skype and Twitter, with technologies used in distance learning. Skype is a great form of communication between teachers and students, or students and students. You listed that it can be used for guest speakers, but a program similar to Skype (or just simple video recording) could allow a teacher to post a video of him or her lecturing for students to watch at home.
I am curious to see how using Facebook and Twitter and other social networking websites in a k-12 school would work. Many schools and districts have these websites blocked so they would not be useful in the classroom themselves. Depending where you're teaching and who your students are some of them may not have access to a computer or the internet at home so these would not be very helpful to these students.

Ask your supermarket for fruits and vegetables grown without methyl bromide, by Danielle Grabiel
If you thought the hole in the ozone layer was a problem of the past, think again.
The bad news is the global ozone layer is currently in its most fragile state, and recovery may be decades or longer away. An ozone hole roughly the size of North America continues to develop each year over Antarctica. This past winter, the ozone layer over the Arctic thinned to record low levels and alarmed scientific experts, some of whom fear an ozone hole may develop over the northern hemisphere within the next two decades.
The good news is that with your help, we can eliminate one of the major remaining obstacles to the ozone layer's recovery—the pesticide methyl bromide. This highly toxic chemical is used to sterilize soil before planting a variety of crops, including tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, cucumbers and melons. It is the most powerful ozone-destroying substance still in widespread use.
All life on earth depends on the protection provided by the ozone layer. This thin layer of ozone molecules screens out nearly 99 percent of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Many of the serious health risks associated with the radiation, such as skin cancer, cataracts and suppression of the immune system, will be faced by both humans and animals.
Wild animals who are unable to protect themselves from the sun will be especially vulnerable to UV radiation increases. For aquatic animals, particularly those lacking a protective coat, increased UV radiation may severely impact their ability to survive during early stages of development.
Marine mammals are impacted indirectly by ozone depletion. Baleen whales such as the majestic humpback feed on tiny shrimp-like animals called krill, as well as a microscopic plant called phytoplankton. Both krill and phytoplankton lack protection from the most biologically damaging radiation, UV-B. Scientists have observed a direct reduction in phytoplankton production due to ozone depletion-related increases in UV-B radiation. This loss of a food source has serious implications for the entire marine food chain.
Because of methyl bromide's significant contribution to ozone depletion, countries party to the Montreal Protocol treaty agreed to phase out its use by January 2005 in developed countries and by 2015 in developing countries. However, due to heavy lobbying by agriculture special interest groups like the California Strawberry Commission and the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association, millions of pounds of methyl bromide are still being used in the United States each year. These groups have pressured the US government to take advantage of a treaty loophole to allow massive commercial use of methyl bromide past the deadline.
The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) works at both the national and international levels to put an end to the use of methyl bromide. You can aid our efforts by asking your supermarket to sell only ozone layer-safe fruits and vegetables, grown without the use of methyl bromide. Visit the Global Environment section of our website at www.eia-international.org to send a letter to your supermarket today.
Danielle Grabiel is a campaigner for the Environmental Investigation Agency.
Photos: The ozone hole over Antarctica (shown above in dark blue) has generally grown larger and lasted longer each year, diminishing our protection from the sun. Frogs are one of many species sensitive to these increases in UV radiation. Large marine mammals are also affected because radiation harms their food sources. Methyl bromide alternatives to keep crops healthy are available, but the chemical is still in widespread use. Ozone layer/NASA

New men's tennis assistant coach Rich Benson just outside the Cook Tennis Center.
Head men's tennis coach Chris Johnson has announced the addition of Rich Benson to his staff as an assistant coach. Benson comes to Liberty after spending the past two years on staff with Athletes in Action (AIA), working with their tennis ministry.
"Liberty men's tennis is very blessed to have Coach Benson joining our coaching staff," Johnson stated. "He has a strong commitment to the Lord and to seeing our players grow on and off the court. I am very humbled as I watch how God continues to build our program."
Prior to his AIA experience, Benson was a volunteer assistant for the 25th-ranked Louisville men's tennis squad. "Coach Rich Benson brought a great blend of skills to our program", commented Louisville men's tennis head coach Rex Ecarma. "He was an All-American and former ATP Doubles player and brought that experience, as well as his management skills from his previous job, to his position with us at Louisville. Lastly, he brought a sense of compassion and thoughtfulness regarding the players. He cared as much for their soul as he did for their performance level."
During his collegiate playing career, Benson was a three-time All-American tennis player at Kentucky and reached an ATP doubles world ranking of No. 132. Benson is a member of the Kentucky State Tennis Hall of Fame, as well as a member of the University of Kentucky Tennis Hall of Fame.
"It's refreshing to see Liberty University's commitment to make a difference in the world for Christ through the lives of their students and student-athletes," stated Benson. My wife and I are excited about joining the Liberty family in their mission to 'Build Champions for Christ.' I'm eager to get started and join Coach Johnson as he continues to build a great tennis program here at Liberty University."
Rich has been married to his wife Paula for 15 years. They have three young children, Allison (10), Timothy (8) and Daniel (5).

I bought these bars to snack on before my longer runs or when I am on the run & need a quick snack. I was please with the chocolada walnut bar I had a few weeks back, so this was the next flavor choice. It is cranberry/goji berry. What is a goji berry? I have no idea, so I looked it up. A goji berry is also called a wolfberry. If you click on the link it will take you to Wikipedia to get all kinds of info.
Some facts:
Loaded with goodness – organic dates, fig paste, cashews, dried sweetened cranberries, goji berries, orange peel, lemon juice concentrate and orange oil.
Made with love and …
Organic dates, organic fig paste, organic cashews, organic dried sweetened cranberries (organic cranberries, organic evaporated cane juice, organic sunflower oil), organic goji berries, organic dried orange peel, organic lemon juice concentrate, organic orange oil.
Upon taking my first bite of this bar, it reminded me of a Fig Newton! I was surprised & pleased! Love Fig Newtons, but as you all know, they are not gluten-free. There were lots of other yummy flavors in the bar, including orange & cranberry. This bar ROCKED!! I will definitely be purchasing it again. It also held me over until lunch…about 2 hours or so.

Accelerated Network Technologies Research Group
Accelerated Network Technologies Research Group
The research group also deals with design of devices and systems for network infrastructure, security and monitoring. In this area, we cooperate mainly with CESNET and Liberouter project and focus on system for high speed networks based on computer and acceleration cards, but we also design small size embedded systems with low power consumption and price.
Principal researcher of the team is Jan Korenek, who is a researcher at Brno University of Technology since 2003, leader of hardware design group at Liberouter project since 2004 and is one of the founders of successful spin-off INVEA-TECH. The team members have substantial experience in the network field, which was obtained by working on a number of European projects (including 6NET (IST-2001-32603), SCAMPI (IST-2001-32404), GEANT2 (No. 511082)) and on a number of locally funded projects (CESNET (MSM6383917201) and VUT (MSM002163528)). In these projects, FPGA technology was used for an acceleration of IPv6 protocol routing, network traffic monitoring, NetFlow statistic measurement and fast regular expression matching in packet payload. Network devices and probes are hardware accelerated using FPGA technology, therefore the probes can provide precise and detailed information about the network no matter of 1Gbps, 10Gbps and higher speed.
Research interests
- Monitoring and security of computer networks
- Acceleration of time critical operations, which are used in devices for network infrastructure or devices for network monitoring and security (packet header analysis and extraction, classification of packets, longest prefix match, pattern matching and flow CACHE management)
- Design of devices and systems for network infrastructure, security and monitoring

Police have been investigating violence directed at Armagh churches in recent weeks. Suspicious devices were left at churches in Newtownabbey and Ballyclare and a church in Whitehead was targeted by arsonists. No arrests have been made and no motive given.
UTV reports a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) spokesperson said, "The investigations are at an early stage and all lines of inquiry remain open at this time." They have not ruled out a sectarian motive and said they are putting "considerable resources" into determining the culprit and preventing future attacks.
"Dedicated targeted patrols have been implemented throughout the district and crime prevention advice given as appropriate. A number of forensic exhibits have been seized from the respective scenes and are currently under examination," said a PSNI spokesperson.
Last Saturday a hoax security alert at St. Mary's Star of the Sea in Greencastle relocated Mass to another church at the last minute. Two viable pipe bombs were left at Sacred Heart Church in Ballyclare and people were forced to evacuate the church and neighboring homes.
Tensions in the community have increased while the investigation continues. Oliver McMullan, Sinn Fein MLA for East Antrim said, "People are scared of saying anything at the minute. East Antrim seems to be getting the brunt of all of this. All of these chapels that are getting attacked are in east Antrim."
He argues that the attacks are done by Unionists, saying, "There's an orchestrated campaign by unionist paramilitaries to do this."
PUP spokesperson Phil Harrison criticized those who carried out the attacks and those making what he called "irresponsible comments" which increase tension. He said, "The police are saying that they're keeping an open opinion on exactly what's happening and my message to Sinn Fein is quite simple.
"Wait until the facts become available. What's happened is irresponsible comments by Sinn Fein aren't helping community relations. Let's deal with the facts, not the fiction."
Police are currently investigating a suspicious fire at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Whitehead, which started in the boiler room in the morning of December 23. Police are working with the local clergy to find the guilty party, but no arrests have been made.
The protests come after sectarian violence in Belfast last December, which was agitated by the vote to fly the Union Jack less often over Stormont and the earlier census which showed an increase in Irish identity and a decrease in the number of citizens who identify as British only.

A 44-acre Jamesport property that has been the subject of a controversial development proposal is now being offered for sale as part of a bankruptcy proceeding.
And the company that's marketing the property has highlighted the value of excavating sand from the property.
A company called GA Keen Realty Advisors LLC has an advertisement in the New York Times Wednesday offering the 43.6 acres on Main Road in Jamesport as a "bankruptcy sale." (more…)

This is especially unsurprisingly to Stamford scientist Ben Barres, who made waves when pointed out that he does better and is more respected as a male scientist than he was as a woman.

Along with the purge of defensive coaches, special teams coach, and weight room staff last offseason, the team chef was also let go. There was no mention in any press conference, but Robert tipped me off to this, as the former chef applied for a job slinging pizzas at Robert's pizza joint. Quite a fall from grace, but when you're not winning, the axe falls with abandon.
The new chef, Pierre Luc Garcon, is a classically trained French chef who served as an instructor at the famous Le Cordon Bleu school in Paris. Robert and I ran into him at Titletown Brewing while he was in the corner scowling into his beer. We started talking and it turns out he had a B & B in Door County that eventually failed...miserably, as near as I could tell because Pierre can be a real jerk. "Vat deed you zay? No, eet deed not fail, eet was all zees stoopid Amereecans who have not zee taste and class for my cueesine who failed." Be that as it may, Pierre applied for Head Chef of the Packers and was quickly hired by McCarthy... who knows talent when he eats it.
This transition has not been without its bumps and bruises, Pierre has been frustrated with the sheer amount of food needed to feed a professional football team. "Food ees meant to zavored, not eenhaled like oxeegen!" He is used to intricate preparation and delicate presentation, this is not really how D-linemen view food. However, following the win against Dallas, 8 games into the season, the transition seems to have taken hold as indicated by the sign, and Pierre's willingness to adapt his style. Hmmm...isn't that how long the 3-4 took to take shape? 8 games? Coincidence?
Yesterday, I emailed Pierre to find out how he was finding he job later into the season. He responded by saying he is still a huge Thierry Henry fan, and that American football is barbaric, but Cullen Jenkins has shown a great interest in his cooking and they are becoming fast friends. Cheers to Big Sexy and Pierre!

When I typed in "defining healthy masculinity" to do a Google search, the first link that came up was to "Choosing Healthy Masculinity and What That Means" on the Men Can Stop Rape Web site, and I thought, oh, good, maybe we've already defined it. "Healthy masculinity" seems to be a term gaining credence in world of gender-based violence prevention. I use it all the time. We're all about healthy masculinity, I say. And I mean it. Even if I don't know exactly what it means.
Joe Samalin (2009), my colleague who wrote "Choosing Healthy Masculinity…" gives examples – it "is a group of high school boys volunteering at a local domestic violence shelter, it is straight and cis-gendered college men partnering as allies with LGBTQ student organizations, and it is the enlisted men and officers in the Air Force who come to us for training on how to create safer workplaces." But when it comes to defining it, he claims "there is no single definition or ideal of healthy masculinity—there are as many definitions as there are men." I love Joe; it's an honor to work with him, but that is a lot of definitions.
So is healthy masculinity a kind of "I know it when I see it" thing? Or is it, "You do your healthy masculinity, I do mine"? Maybe it's the recovering academic in me, but I'm feeling definition-deficient. Maybe I'm holding onto some grand ivory tower illusion that a definition will help solidify our shared understanding of the term.
I did manage to track down one attempt to define healthy masculinity. Michael Obsatz (2003) takes a stab at it, listing 15 qualities, all of them beginning with P:
1. Purpose
2. Power for and with, not over
3. Passion
4. Paternity
5. Piety
6. Persistence
7. Presence
8. Patience
9. Pardon
10. Partnership
11. Pliability
12. Playfulness
13. Peacemaking
14. Politeness
15. Perspective
He goes onto explain each of the 15 in a sentence or two. While I am a fan of the letter P and while I appreciate his comprehensiveness, I was hoping for a little more compactness. So, I'll attempt something briefer, with the recognition that it's very much a definition in progress. Healthy masculinity:
• involves the ability to recognize unhealthy aspects of masculinity – those features that are harmful to the self and/or others
• replaces risky and violent masculine attitudes and behaviors with empathetic behaviors and attitudes that benefit men and others
• is based on supporting gender equity and other forms of equity
• includes social and emotional skills used to positively challenge in yourself and in others unhealthy masculine attitudes and behaviors
Anyone else out there feel the need to define? If so, indulge your elucidation tendencies and say what you would keep or change about these two definitions of healthy masculinity.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) are pleased to announce that they will offer each year three scholarships to support Canadian undergraduate students registered in a mathematics or computer science program to attend a semester at the Math in Moscow program.
We expect that the enrolment for all our courses will be small, so that the teachers will be able to work individually with all the students in the classroom as well as during consultation hours. Mathematics courses are taught with emphasis on problem solving rather than memorizing theory: this emphasis is characteristic of the Moscow school of mathematics. However, we do not expect that students in the Math in Moscow program have had extensive math problem solving experience ... Our teachers are very attentive to student feedback; quizzes, tests, informal discussions allow them to control the level of the course, making it accessible to all the students taking it.

Renaissance Man's Second Chance
At 37, after 13 years of a living death sentence, Mott's determination paid off when he was able to convince a judge to objectively view his demonstration of him being wrongly sentenced to life in prison.
[National: Inspiration]
Everyone at one point or another comes to a fork in life's road where they must decide to keep pushing on or conform to an accepted fate.
Forrest Mott, author of the new novel "Amidst the View," (www.tamtiffpublishing.com) paved his own road, "refusing to die."
Mott is from everywhere and nowhere. Molded in the 1980s streets of Liberty City, Fla., he graduated in the top of his high school class, earning an academic scholarship to college. Nonetheless, his life choices cost him his life. At 24, Mott was sentenced to die in Florida's prison system for drug trafficking.
Instead of accepting his sentence he did what's natural to him, proactively fighting to save his life by studying the law and redefining himself. "Every experience in my life has been a lesson because I've been able to apply what I've learned to create completely new experiences," Mott says. "The most valuable of these lessons is to never give up on people, for to do so you give up on yourself."
At 37, after 13 years of a living death sentence, Mott's determination paid off when he was able to convince a judge to objectively view his demonstration of him being wrongly sentenced to life in prison. On Oct. 5, 2005 Mott, after his sentence was vacated, he earned his released.
Mott's release also liberated the first novel in a trilogy, "Amidst the View," centered on Woods Musselman. Writing under his pseudonym "Hugh Donoe," Mott created Tam Tiff Publishing to be the catalyst that propels Woods Musselman into the consciousness of the populace.
Woods Musselman is the antithesis of accepted social anticipation. A protagonist like none other, Woods will conjure and arouse the reader's entire emotional spectrum. "Amidst the View" takes fiction where fact wouldn't dare to venture.

Changes to data collection/processing
In the June quarter of 2016 a redeveloped version of the Household Labour Force Survey went into the field. The key purpose of the 2016 Household Labour Force Survey redevelopment was to improve the relevance and quality of the labour market statistics.
The new content includes more information about the nature of people's employment conditions and work arrangements. This data can be used to better understand different patterns of employment.
The redeveloped HLFS also includes more detail from respondents who work in more than one job during a reference week. Multiple job holders are asked about the industry, occupation, employment status, and hours of their second job. Until now, the HLFS collected these details only on the respondents' main job.

Import & extraction details
File as imported: Household Labour Force Survey: Labour Force Status by Sex by Regional Council (Quarterly) March 2019
From the dataset Household Labour Force Survey: Labour Force Status by Sex by Regional Council (Quarterly) March 2019, this data was extracted:

Purpose of collection
The primary purpose of the survey is to estimate the number of people employed, unemployed, and not in the labour force (NILF), and from them, the unemployment rate for the New Zealand labour market. The Household Labour Force Survey (HLFS) is designed to produce statistics at the family level, and use of the survey for a purpose for which it was not designed is inevitably subject to some limitations.

Aimez-Vous Rousseau?
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"All men of obscure birth feel an instinctive kinship with him." They feel it, says Mr. Guéhenno, if they have felt the least urge to break free from the limitations of their station, for this urge will have involved them in adventures and indignities similar to his. But most men feeling this urge are not men of genius: They are either more adroit and enterprising than Rousseau was or, if they lack the skill or energy or boldness that bring success, they are more easily resigned to their lot. The man of genius, especially if he is a man of letters or an artist, is possessed by the need to be himself, and seeks to impose himself on others, to exist for them, on his own terms. He does not impose himself by getting power or wealth, or by conventional success of some other kind; he does not seek an exalted place in the world as they see it but a place of his own which requires him to disturb that world. He is, as M. Guéhenno puts it, a monster, and never more so than when his genius is introspective. For then he torments himself and all who come near to him. Close to, he is insufferable, though at a distance—such is the power of his words—he can fascinate. The intensity of his feelings and the subtlety and urgency of arguments aimed, consciously or unconsciously, at justifying or condemning himself, ensure that he seems always to be speaking from the heart. But who speaks from the heart speaks sincerely; or so we often say.
The story of Rousseau's life, we are told, is "a drama of sincerity." And it is above all this story that M. Guéhenno seeks to tell, for he has little to say about Rousseau's social or political theory, and says that little only to help him make some point about the man. He discusses his novel La Nouvelle Héloise 1761) at considerably greater length than any other of Rousseau's works, though it contains much less of his philosophy of man and society than does the Discourse on the Origins of Inequality (1754) or Emile (1762) or The Social Contract (1762). Or at least it is a less systematic exposition of that philosophy, for the characters in the novel moralize and philosophize incessantly. They dissect minutely their own and one another's actions and motives, and pass easily from talking of themselves to talking of mankind. The novel is a story of love and friendship, and M. Guéhenno treats it as a fantasy in which the writer revels in what life has denied him. In the midst of writing it, excited by his own dreams, he fell in love for the first and only time, and unhappily. For M. Guéhenno's purpose, which is to reveal what sort of man Rousseau was, this long novel is, together with the Confessions,…
