The simplest way to run a KDE 4 application with SSH in your current desktop environment is to get an X-aware shell prompt as the kde-devel user like this:
ssh -X kde-devel@localhost
Now you can launch KDE apps as usual, for example:
The two lines can be conveniently combined:
ssh -X kde-devel@localhost kwrite
Before anything serious can be done using this method, a passwordless login needs to be set up. To start, run the following command as the regular desktop user:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Hit enter three times to accept the path of ~/.ssh/id_rsa and an empty passphrase. Now, copy the single line in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub that's printed after running this command:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
After that line is copied, ssh back into the kde-devel user and put the copied line in the file $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys:
ssh -X kde-devel@localhost $HOME/kde/bin/kwrite \ $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
Paste in the line, save the file, and quit KWrite. Now try running KWrite again with the same SSH command; you shouldn't have to enter a password anymore:
ssh -X kde-devel@localhost $HOME/kde/bin/kwrite
If you want to be able to launch apps more easily than running them with an SSH command from the command line, one way is to create .desktop files that ssh into the other account. Template:Note (zh TW)
You can start with an existing .desktop file as a template (like one from your desktop) or you can make one from scratch. The main idea is to prefix the command being run with this string:
ssh -X kde-devel@localhost $HOME/kde/bin/
A simple .desktop file that runs KWrite would have the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=ssh -X kde-devel@localhost /home/kde-devel/kde/bin/kwrite %U
GenericName=Text Editor
Name=KWrite (kde-devel)
Instead of using a full-blown new virtual X for developing software you can use Xephyr to embed your KDE 4 session into your working KDE 3 or other X11 environment.
You can also do this with xnest, but as xnest cannot handle extensions like Render many people prefer Xephyr.
If you want to get a minimal KDE session up and running, just launch Xephyr (available in Kubuntu as xserver-xephyr; Gentoo users compile x11-base/xorg-server with USE="kdrive"):
Xephyr :1 -extension GLX &
You can now launch KDE:
su - $USER
export DISPLAY=:1
/path/to/kde4/bin/startkde-modified &
startkde-modified is a copy of the startkde-script which includes the following lines on the top:
export KDEDIR=`kde4-config --prefix`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin/:$PATH
export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
You can also use Xephyr with KDM via the Xdmcp protocol and simply a new KDE 4 session to KDM.
On Kubuntu, you can enable it by changing
# Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.
# Default is true
in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc to
# Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.
# Default is true
and adjust your /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess to allow your local machine access. Additionally you should make sure to set up a port blocking policy on all external interfaces for the Xdmcp port if you are doing this on a laptop or a PC in an untrusted environment.
If you are done, simply launch Xephyr:
Xephyr -query localhost :1 -host-cursor -screen 1024x768&
where -host-cursor tries to reuse the host's cursor and -screen sets the screen dimensions.
Note: If you get lots of refused connection errors, you might want to use the -ac option of Xephyr. For example:
Xephyr -ac :1&
Another option to try if you get lots of refused connection errors is you may need to grant assess to your kde-devel user to your X server. As root or using sudo execute:
xhost +local:kde-devel
If you do not have Xephyr, you can also use Xnest:
Xnest -ac :1& export DISPLAY=:1
|This section needs improvements: Please help us to
cleanup confusing sections and fix sections which contain a todo
I use this for my start script nested_kde4.sh:
#! /bin/bash NESTED_KDE_DISPLAY_BACKUP=$DISPLAY export DISPLAY=:0 Xephyr :1 -screen 1024x768 & export DISPLAY=:1 $HOME/kde/bin/startkde-modified & export DISPLAY=${NESTED_KDE_DISPLAY_BACKUP}
If you run into
"Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation."
try this:
mkdir /var/tmp/kde-devel-kde4
The above code assumes you work with user kde-devel. Template:Note (zh TW)
To run a full KDE 4 desktop environment session, you can either start it from the command line as you normally would, with something like this:
X :1 & export DISPLAY=:1 startkde
or you can can add it to your login manager. If you are using KDM (or a compatible login manager) this is done by creating a .desktop file in either `kde-config --prefix`/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ or in /usr/share/xsessions/. The easiest thing to do is to copy an existing kde.desktop file and name it kde4.desktop. Open this new .desktop file in a text editor and change the Exec, TryExec and Name entries to look something like this:
Replace $HOME/kde in the example above with the prefix you are installing KDE4 into.
After restarting the login manager (Alt+e in KDM) this new entry should appear in the sessions menu.
You might have to edit your startkde scripts, ie: change
to this
or paste this
export KDEDIR=`kde4-config --prefix`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib
export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin/:$PATH
export KDEHOME=~/.kde4
on top.
This section will explain how to use KDevelop 3.4 to develop KDE 4 applications. If you have any questions, corrections or rants about this section, please post them on the discussion page.
You need at least KDevelop 3.4 for this, which is still a KDE 3 application. Versions lower than 3.4 do not have Qt 4 support among other things. The KDE 4 version of KDevelop is not yet ready for serious development. You can get KDevelop at the KDevelop homepage. Make sure you install KDevelop like all other KDE 3 applications, not with your kde-devel user.
You also need the lastest GDB version, which is currently 6.6.0. Note that the GDB version which is shipped with openSuse 10.3 is broken, it constantly crashes when examining variables (which KDevelop does automatically). Use the GDB version from this repository instead.
You need to have the kdelibs API documentation locally, which is described in the build instructions.
You also need ctags, htdig, htmerge and htsearch. valgrind and callgrind can also be useful.
Be sure you followed the steps in the KDE 4 build instructions and have a working KDE 4 environment. Make sure simple KDE 4 applications like Konsole or KWrite can be started from the command line of the kde-devel user without problems.
The following steps are all done with the kde-devel user. You need to login as that user by typing
su - kde-devel
KDevelop has no native support for CMake projects. Fortunately, CMake has the ability to generate KDevelop project files itself. In order to do this, you need to pass the -GKDevelop3 flag to the cmake command. This tells CMake to generate project files for KDevelop alongside the normal makefiles. The best way to do this is to modify your cmakekde function in your .bashrc. Just change
cmake $srcFolder -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull&& \
make && \
make install;
cmake $srcFolder -GKDevelop3 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull&& \
make && \
make install;
After you have done that, re-login so that the changes to the .bashrc file take effect. Then you need to rerun cmakekde in the (root) build directory of the project you want to work on with KDevelop (if you didn't use -GKDevelop3 on the building step). For example, if you want to work on Konsole, which lives in kdebase, you need to run cmakekde in the $KDE_BUILD/KDE/kdebase directory. This unfortunately completely rebuilds everything, but only once when you change the generator.
Since all environment variables of the kde-devel user are KDE 4 specific, these need to be set back to match your KDE 3 environment before starting KDevelop. A simple way to do this is to add the following function to your .bashrc:
function start3app {
mkdir -p /tmp/$USER-kde
export PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
export KDETMP=/tmp/$USER-kde
export KDEVARTMP=/var/tmp/$USER-kde
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde
export KDEDIR=/usr
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
export DISPLAY=:0
eval "$@"
source $HOME/.bashrc #Reset environment variables again
echo $PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
kde-config --prefix
Now you should be able to start KDevelop by typing start3app kdevelop. Do that now.
Symptome: kdevelop says "cannot talk to klauncher". You cannot open a file.
Solution: add your KDE library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g.:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/kde3/lib
Now that KDevelop has started, you need to adjust a few settings. Go to Settings->Configure KDevelop...->Documentation for this. Remove all entries that are not relevant to KDE 4 coding.
Optionally, you can add the kdelibs API documentation. You must create it beforehand. Then add the documentation by clicking Add.... In this dialog, use the following settings:
Now add the Qt API documentation, which also must be created beforehand, using the following settings:
After you have added kdelibs and Qt API documentation, make sure all checkboxes (TOC,Index and Search) are enabled. Then, go to the Full Text Search tab and make sure the paths to the htdig, htmerge and htsearch executables are correct. You can then close the settings dialog.
Now it is time to open the project you want to work on by clicking Project->Open Project.... The project files are located in the build directory. For example, if you want to work on Konsole, you need to open $KDE_BUILD/KDE/kdebase/apps/konsole/konsole.kdevelop. You now need to adjust a few project-specific settings in Project->Project Options. You need to do this every time you start to work on a different project.
Now you have finished adjusting your project-specific settings. Now you should remove some plugins you do not need, in Settings->Configure Plugins.... I for example disable the following plugins:
Abbreviation Expansion, Code Snippets, Doxygen Support, Embedded Konsole, File Tree, Final Packaging Support, "Open with" Menu Addon, QuickOpen, Regular Expression Tester, Scripting, Security Checker, Shell Filtering and Insertion, Text Structure and Tools Menu Addition.
You should at least disable the bold ones.
Now, open any source file if none is open already. This will enable the Settings->Configure Editor... entry, where you need to set the tab options to match the tab style used by the project you are working on. The important settings are:
In the mainwindow, click the CTags tab on the bottom tabbar, then click the Regenerate button to create a CTags database for easier source code navigation.
Now you have completed all essential configuration, congratulations!
Refer to the KDevelop manual for general help using KDevelop. The following section will only deal with special cases for KDE 4.
KDE apps have many symbols, which means that you need a lot of memory to get a decent loading times for debugging. To quote a GDB developer: "I would be reluctant to debug KDE on something with <1GB RAM." If the stepping function of the debugger is slow for you, try the following tips:
This describes how to use Eclipse to develop KDE 4 applications. It has been tested with Eclipse Ganymed and SUSE Linux 11.1 but should work same or similar with every combination. As an example KDE application we use ktimetracker from the kdepim module, other applications short work analog.
Using this description you will be able to
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdepim
If you want to integrate the cmake build step into your build toolchain, you will need to
cat >/bin/eclipsebuild<<EOF cmake . && make -j4 && make install EOF chmod 777 /bin/eclipsebuild
To revert what eclipse did to your project simply run
rm -rf .externalToolBuilders/ .project .cproject
When using eclipse's svn plugin and building a KDE program, you will get error messages complaining that your svn binary is too old. If you want to try and change this, here's how you get to that error:
這裡說明如何使用 Qt Creator 開發 KDE 4 應用程式。It has been tested with QtCreator 1.2.80 and SUSE Linux 11.1 but should work same or similar with every combination.我們使用來自 kdepim 模塊的ktimetracker作為 KDE 應用程式的範例。
我們使用 ktimetracker 作為範例專案。
File -> Open -> kdepim/CMakeLists.txt.
Projects -> ktimetracker -> build settings -> Add a configuration ktimetracker.
As build directory choose /home/youruser/kdepim/ktimetracker. As arguments for cmake use ...
想要開始一個新的專案你需要告訴 Qt Creator 建構時使用 KDE 程式庫。因此,選擇 File -> New... 並創建您的專案。在這裡我們稱為yourproject。為了能夠使用 KDE 程式庫,在你的家目錄,cd 進入yourproject並修改 yourproject.pro。加上
LIBS += -lkdeui

Dan Marino fathered girl during 2004 extramarital affair
NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- CBS sports analyst and former professional football player Dan Marino fathered a daughter during a 2004 extramarital affair, the New York Post reported.
Marino had a brief romance with the child's mother, Donna Savattere, when she was a 35-year-old production assistant at CBS Sports' Manhattan studio, the newspaper said.
At the time, the ex-Miami Dolphins quarterback was married to Claire, his wife of 20 years and mother of the couple's six children.
The Post said Savattere gave birth to a daughter, Chloe, in June 2005, after which Marino paid her millions of dollars to keep the child's parentage a secret.
"They had an affair, and she had a baby," a source told the Post. "Everything was on the down-low and secretive."
Marino, 51, confirmed the story to the newspaper, but said he did not intend to elaborate on it.
"This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then," he told the Post in a written statement. "We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved."
Marino said he and his spouse have no plans to split up.
"My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together," he said in the statement. "And we continue to be a strong and loving family."
Marino is expected to help cover Super Bowl Sunday for CBS, the newspaper said.
Porn star Ron Jeremy undergoes two operations to treat aneurysm
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Ron Jeremy's manager says the porn star remains unconscious after undergoing two operations at a Los Angeles hospital to treat an aneurysm near his heart.
Jeremy's manager, Mike Esterman, told the New York Daily News the 59-year-old adult-film actor was "resting with complete privacy and no visitors" Wednesday night after procedures "went smoothly."
The New York native, who now lives in Los Angeles, drove himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center near Beverly Hills around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday after experiencing chest pain, Esterman said.
"His instincts were correct to seek help at that moment," Esterman said. "He is in the ICU and has not been conscious since surgery."
Jeremy has starred in 1,700 adult films, directed 250 porn flicks and appeared in 60 mainstream films. He also was a cast member of the reality TV show "The Surreal Life."
'How I Met Your Mother' renewed for a ninth and final season
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan have signed on for a ninth and final season of their U.S. sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother," CBS said.
Series regulars Josh Radnor and Cobie Smulders, as well as series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, will return for the last season in which audiences will finally learn the identity of the titular mother, CBS Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television announced Wednesday.
"Through eight years, 'How I Met Your Mother,' has mastered the art of leading-edge comedy, emotional water-cooler moments and pop culture catch phrases," Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. "We are excited for Carter, Craig, Pam Fryman and this amazing cast to tell the final chapter and reveal television's most mysterious mother to some of TV's most passionate fans."
"We're thrilled to have the entire and incredibly talented 'How I Met Your Mother' cast back for one final season to bring the series to a proper close," said Dana Walden and Gary Newman, chairmen of 20th Century Fox Television, in a joint statement.
"Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are masterful and hilarious storytellers, and we have no doubt that they will guide one of the greatest comedies of the last decade to a gratifying conclusion when they finally reveal the identity of the mother."
Macklemore and Lewis' 'Thrift Shop' tops U.S. record chart
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" featuring Wanz is No. 1 on the U.S. record chart for a second week, Billboard.com reported Thursday.
Coming in at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 is Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven," followed by the Lumineers' "Ho Hey" at No. 3, Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" at No. 4 and Will.i.am and Britney Spears' "Scream & Shout" at No. 5.

The Couple Problem
You've heard that husbands and wives begin to look alike, but the real resemblance may be the bellies both spouses start to develop. Putting on weight is a common problem for couples. According to a recent study in the American Journal of Human Biology, married people are more likely to be overweight than single people — and the older they get, the more weight they gain. But why do the postnuptial years plump you up, and what can you do to defy the odds? Read on for the expert lowdown and slimming strategies.
DIET DILEMMA: You share everything.
Being equal partners in life may be a beautiful thing but not when you eat the same heaping helpings as your hubby. Men have more muscle mass than women (even if they weigh the same amount), and can therefore consume more calories without gaining weight. "The extra muscle helps men burn more energy, even at rest," explains Cynthia Sass, RD, coauthor of Your Diet Is Driving Me Crazy: When Food Conflicts Get in the Way of Your Love Life (Marlowe & Company). While a moderately active, 180-pound male can eat about 3,050 calories a day and not gain weight, his moderately active 145-pound wife can consume only about 2,235.
SLIMMING SOLUTION: Keep your eyes on the size.
Use a few tricks to trim calories from dinner: Make up your plate yourself so he doesn't give you a supersize helping, and do it in the kitchen rather than from serving dishes at the table. This way you won't be tempted to graze once you've finished. To make your plate look just as full as your hubby's for a fraction of the calories, double up on low-cal foods (like steamed veggies) and take half as much in carbs (such as potatoes, rice, and pasta).
Go...and Go...and Go
DIET DILEMMA: He loves you — no matter what size you wear.
It's no coincidence that research shows that the longer people are married, the more pounds they pack on. Each wedding anniversary gives you a little extra assurance that your man isn't going anywhere, so why not let yourself go ... and go ... and go, right?
SLIMMING SOLUTION: Take stock of what you've lost by gaining those extra pounds.
Think about the toll on your relationship. "Weight gain can cause health problems, decreased sex drive, and body-image issues," says Sass. And consider your future. "Don't you want to enjoy your retirement together rather than spend it taking several medications a day?" asks David L. Katz, MD, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale Medical School.
FC FACT: Men and women have different tastes regarding comfort food. Guys reach for hearty foods like meat loaf; women often stick with sweets.
Dining Out
DIET DILEMMA: You're a dine-out couple.
For most busy couples — especially those with children — restaurants and take-out fare are a major sanity saver. But you tend to indulge significantly more when you order from a restaurant than you do when you cook for yourself. A study conducted at Tufts University in Boston found that people who ate restaurant food more than three times a week consumed nearly 32 percent more calories than those who ate out less than once a week.
SLIMMING SOLUTION: Limit restaurant visits and overhaul your orders.
Eat out only once a week and order carefully, suggests Megan A. McCrory, PhD, lead author of the Tufts study. At a Mexican restaurant, start with gazpacho and share chicken fajitas with your husband (go heavy on low-calorie salsa and easy on sour cream and guacamole). Pondering pizza? Order a side salad with light dressing, and limit yourself to one slice of thin-crust with lots of veggies. With Japanese cuisine, have miso soup followed by one or two sushi rolls (one roll has six pieces). Stick to plain fish and veggie rolls that don't contain mayo, cream cheese, or fried ingredients (and watch out for "new wave" rolls with fatty meats like beef, sausage, and duck). Sashimi, which is just fish, is always a safe bet. If you order an entree at a typical American restaurant, ask your waiter to wrap up half your meal before it's served and take it home, suggests Dr. Katz. Then have it for lunch the next day.
Couch Potatoes
DIET DILEMMA: You've become a couple of couch potatoes.
Between kids, career, and keeping the home fires burning, it's no surprise that plenty of couples spend most evenings and weekends collapsing — or cozying up — on the couch together. Blame it on the boob tube: A recent study in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease found that adults who watch more than two hours of TV a day are more likely to be overweight or obese — weighing 9 pounds more and consuming an additional 150 calories a day, on average — than people who watch less than one hour daily.
SLIMMING SOLUTION: Crank up your downtime.
Start a new healthy habit: Before dinner, rev yourself up with some activity and try to involve your spouse and kids as much as possible: Ride bikes, play Frisbee, walk in the park, or go in-line skating. Then eat together as a family without any distractions, making a conscious effort to focus on the flavors of the food and one another's company. Finally, vow to eat only in designated dining areas (the couch shouldn't be one of them!) and limit television time as much as possible. "There is no magic number, but in general, aim for two hours max a day," recommends Dr. Katz.
Tempted by the Food of Another
Your husband isn't the only one keeping you from fitting into your skinny jeans. Here are Dr. Katz's tips for how to keep calories under control when you're around these common food pushers:
The generous coworker. Sidestep the kindhearted colleague who keeps a candy dish on her desk by bringing snacks like baby carrots, low-fat string cheese, and fresh fruit. Explain to her that you're trying to eat healthy, and ask that she not offer you treats.
The snack-happy kids. If you pick at your kids' treats, strive to bring less tempting stuff into the home — without depriving them. "Choose the most nutritious food in every category, including crackers and cookies," says Dr. Katz, who keeps his kids happy with low-calorie Guiltless Gourmet chips and Newman-Os cookies. You'll be less likely to overeat — and even if you do, it won't be as much of a dietary disaster.
The smothering mother. No matter how old you get, Mom may still feel the need to feed you. If it's affecting your weight, have a heart-to-heart with her and explain why eating healthier is important to you. Pose it as a plea for help and she'll be more likely to stop insisting you clean your plate.

text: I was wondering how many of you cachers have been out looking for a cache and have bumped into other geocachers. When I went to visit with my sister this past November, I took a day off to do some caching in Lancaster SC where my sister lives. I had some bad luck with the first 2 that I tried to find that day and was getting pretty bummed about it. I hate those DNF's don't you? Anyway on my 3rd attempt for the day I finally found one. As I was getting into my car another car pulled up into the parking area of this park where the cache was hidden. This guy got out and I noticed that he had a Magellan in his hand and a bunch of printed out sheets which turned out to be the cache pages for all the caches he had printed out for the day. I struck up a conversation with him and told him that I had just found the cache and that I would gladly join in on his hunt. After we found the cache together we decided to go and find the previous other 2 caches that I had not found and a couple of others. Needless to say the other 2 that I didn't find ended up not being there at all because of being muggled. Guess it happens all over. Anyway I made a new friend and we email each other on occasion. So what do you people have for experiences with bumping into other cachers?

Facebook will launch a second mobile ad product which will serve ads to users based on which other apps they've downloaded onto their phones—raising concerns over privacy, according to the Wall Street Journal:
... ads for apps directly in a users' News Feed on their mobile devices, whether the consumer has noted an interest in that company or not,
Facebook engineers have built technology that lets the company track what apps people have on their phones and target ads based on that information, these people said.
The problem, according to the WSJ, is that "the product allows Facebook to know which apps users have downloaded on their phones and then target ads based on that information."
Previously, Facebook largely served ads keyed by users' own preferences, friends, and their Likes. Sponsored stories, for instance, Facebook's first mobile ad product, serves ads triggered by users' brand mentions in their status updates.
Next up: A launch on July 16, with more detail coming in its Q2 2012 earnings call on July 26.
Disclosure: The author owns 30 shares of Facebook stock.

Le Quang Liem cannot remember all the countries he's been to, but he can play chess with his eyes closed. For this, he says, you need to have an excellent memory – an ability to keep the position of all the pieces in your head.
This year the 19-year-old resident of Ho Chi Minh City – with a shy voice and big glasses – became the first person from Southeast Asia to win the Aeroflot Open in Moscow, widely regarded as the world's most difficult open chess competition.
Mr. Liem left Moscow with a $28,280 prize and a ticket to compete in an elite, invitation-only tournament in Dortmund, Germany, later this month, where he will play against a former world chess champion, among others. Another player from Vietnam tied for third place in the tournament, while the best American player landed in 20th place.
"What a shock to Russian chess fans to see dozens of their heroes surpassed by two Vietnamese teenagers!" exclaimed a Los Angeles Times writer in a story titled "Vietnamese Surprise in Moscow," while The New York Times named its article about the chess tournament, "Big Surprises in Europe."
But Liem's success is not an isolated victory for Vietnam. In December, the Vietnamese women's chess team won Asia's championship, while the men's team placed second, and in 2008, 7-year-old Tran Minh Thang became the world chess champion for children under 8.
So what is Vietnam doing right when it comes to chess?
As it turns out, the country's socialist government adopted the chess system of the former Soviet Union, which produced five undefeated world champions between 1948 and 1972.
"Sports clubs are spread throughout the political structure of provinces and cities," says Casto Abundo, deputy president of the Asian Chess Federation. "Each club has its own budget at its disposal and they concentrate on the development of the youth. They are now harvesting the fruit of their labor."
The chairman of Vietnam's Chess Federation, Dang Tat Thang, says he learned to play chess in Russia when he was a student there.
The coach of Vietnam's national chess team, Mikhail Vasyliev, is originally from Odessa, Ukraine, which he describes as the "world capital of chess." The elderly Ukrainian, who does not speak Vietnamese, explained that the Vietnamese government's approach to chess works because efforts are directed at the most promising players from a young age, rather than at those children whose parents have the most money to pay for classes. Many of Vietnam's best players, such as Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, 20, who tied for third place in Moscow, are from poor families, Mr. Vasyliev says.
In Vietnam, children as young as 4 who do well in tournaments receive monthly salaries, free chess instruction, and monetary prizes for winning competitions. The Vietnamese government spends $3 million a year to promote the game, which includes covering players' travel expenses to domestic and international chess events.
"They get around $300 per month plus room and board and three or four times a year they can go abroad," Vasyliev says, "[and that's in a country where] $100 per month is considered a good salary."
Between 500 and 700 young players study chess around the country. The 10 to 12 players on the national team study the game for the whole year with only a two-week break. They live in the sports center and receive salaries and incentives of $11 per day for pocket money when they travel.
Liem, for instance, started making money from chess when he was only 10 years old and won Ho Chi Minh City's children's competition. In April, he took home $4,000 for winning Vietnam's national chess tournament for the second time. He would not reveal how much he made last year from playing his favorite game, but he did say that he now makes more money than all his peers.
My "most important goal is to play and improve," he says. "Because I think if I can live by playing chess I can do what I like most and earn money from that."
Huang Xuan Thanh Khiet, 25, who also competed in Vietnam's national chess tournament, says chess was her first job, and now the board game pays off with an extra $70 every month. Thanks to the game, she also got a chance to see the world – the Vietnamese government flew her to Russia, Spain, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
"The [chess] federation pays for everything," Ms. Khiet says. "In my life, I never traveled on my own."
Mr. Thang says Vietnamese chess players improved after the government increased chess salaries and prizes. The stipends were raised from less than $100 to $300 per month over the past two years, while prizes for winning competitions were introduced five years ago and increased three times since, he says. Now, even children under 12 can take home as much as $500 for winning, he says. And in April, the top four male and female winners of Vietnam's national chess tournament took home a total of $13,500 in prizes, ranging from $250 to $4,000.
"We had good players before, but our economy was not developed," Thang said. "So before, talented children could not be sent to world tournaments."
While the financial side of things clearly makes a difference, some players suggest that chess might be becoming more popular in Vietnam at the expense of another board game. Chinese chess, a game that a visitor to Vietnam will see old men playing on sidewalks, is becoming less popular among youth.
Liem says this is because of the Internet. You can play international chess online with people all over the world, he says, while Chinese chess is known only in Asia. Also, you cannot play Chinese chess with a computer, says Liem, who spends much of his time practicing with electronic partners. "There are a few programs, but they are not strong, not professional," he says.
In fact, several members of Vietnam's national team, including Liem himself, represent a first generation of chess players: Their parents do not know how to play the game.
"We're civil engineers, not chess players," says Liem's mother, Than Thi My Le. (Liem learned chess from his older brother, who learned it from a book.)
So what's in store for Vietnamese chess players?
Liem, who likes traditional Vietnamese music and reading "Harry Potter" (in Vietnamese), plans to start his university studies in September.He says he hopes to become the world chess champion.
And chances are there will be more chess players from Vietnam to follow in his footsteps.
"Nowhere in the world are there children who get these stipends. In other countries, the parents must pay," Thang said in Russian. But in Vietnam, "if the child is talented, all the conditions [for his improvement] are created. That's how we make good players."

BEIJING, CHINA - 9 Aug, 2017 - World Autism Month in April is inaugurated with the signature campaign, Light It Up Blue, a clever marketing strategy used throughout the year to draw attention to autism and raise funds through illuminating buildings around the world in blue light. Affiliated events also take place throughout the year.
Beijing's National Aquatics Center or "Water Cube" has "Lit It Up Blue" seven times. This year's event saw about 100 guests from autism focus groups gather to watch the iconic bubbled exterior of the former Olympic stadium bathed in blue light.
Among China's 1.3 billion people, there are more than 10 million autistic adults and 2 million children, who are often marginalized and struggle for recognition and suitable facilities.
During this year's Light It Up Blue event at the Water Cube, a public welfare fund of 1 million RMB was established to promote special children's integrated education, training and development. The event also included a forum "Special Teenagers Development" with ten important guests to discuss education and employment of teenagers with special needs.
This year, Gao Xixi, the mother of a 19-year-old autistic boy, delivered a keynote speech.
The Chinese American linguist, Gao Xixi first opted for treatment for her son's autism in America. However, she eventually became disillusioned, and decided to start again from scratch.
Although Gao Xixi has not studied early childhood education techniques in great depth, she believes her approach is effective because Billy's current condition and level of independence is relatively good. She has written about her experiences in an "Annual Treatment Plan for Billy", which has become a textbook for parents of autistic children.
As well as taking part in the event, Xixi and her son Billy appear in a short documentary for BON Cloud, a China-based content production and licensing platform that includes a library of stories on social good and corporate social responsibility cases.
In the video, Xixi shares her outlook of embracing her son Billy's condition and her wish for him to be independent. Although, with patience, he can learn some skills it's still difficult for him to accomplish some tasks we take for granted, such as to tie his shoelaces by himself.
Their story is part of a library of video content on the BON Cloud Premium platform which covers corporate social responsibility as well as business, technology, living, travel and lifestyle.

One of my favorite parts in this book was when Meg and the other campers were eating breakfast. I loved this part because the campers had pancakes that morning. That made me feel hungry. And I have pancakes for breakfast sometimes. This part of the book is when two campers were unraveling a code. This part reminded me of when I was unraveling a code.
This book is a part of a series named Meg Mackintosh by Lucinda Landon. I felt anxious when I was reading this book because it made me want to read more. I like the illustrations because they were so detailed, even though they were black and white. I think this book is fun, because it makes people want to read more. This book is like other ones by the same author because Meg is always looking for a Mystery.
I recommend this book for grades 2 and up because you have to decipher a lot of things. I think people who like to decipher things and are into detectives and spying should read this book. I like the details in the writing. I think there are so many details because there are small pictures. This book was so good I did not want to stop reading.

|An eye of round beef roast, lightly sprinkled with Worcestershire, soy sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder and ground pepper, then wrap tightly with foil and left to slow braise in the oven.
Oven Braised Beef Eye of Round RoastThis braised eye of round roast is similar to the rump roast I recently posted, except that this one is made with an eye of round roast and doesn't require an overnight marinade, so it simplifies preparation time a little bit. I don't know about you, but I have the hardest time remembering to do things the night before sometimes. You can also use a rump roast here as well, but if you're looking for a delicious top of the stove rump roast, stop by and check out this recipe for another delicious roast.
Eye of round is very similar texturally to the rump for slicing, and this recipe produces a nice tender slicing roast that is also super flavorful. Don't go too heavy-handed with the seasoned salt, otherwise between that, the Worcestershire, and the soy sauce, you'll end up with an overly salty roast. The pan drippings make a equally flavorful and easy gravy. Just remember to vigorously whisk in the flour a little at a time so you don't end up with lumps!
Here's how to make this delicious roast.
Recipe: Oven Braised Beef Eye of Round Roast©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 3 hour 30 min | Yield: About 6 servings
- 1 (3 to 4 pound) beef eye of round or boneless rump roast
- Worcestershire sauce
- Soy sauce
- Seasoned salt (like Lawry's)
- Garlic powder
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Water
- 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place a couple of overlapping sheets of aluminum foil, enough to wrap around the roast, into a baking pan. Set the roast on top and bring the foil up around the roast, just slightly to form a cup. Sprinkle the top of the roast with Worcestershire and soy sauce. Then sprinkle lightly with the seasoned salt, garlic powder and ground pepper. Wrap the roast tightly with the foil and bake for 3 to 3-1/2 hours (depending on size).
Unwrap cooked roast and pour off drippings into a measuring cup that will accommodate at least 3 cups. Set roast aside to rest, tenting with foil to keep warm.
Add enough water to the pan drippings to make a total of 3 cups of liquid. Pour this into a skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and whisk in the flour, a little at a time, vigorously whisking constantly, until mixture is smooth and thick.
Serve roast sliced with gravy and homemade mashed potatoes and a side of quick fix Southern style green beans or a nice mixed garden salad.

Mississippians taking supplies to Okla.
SMITHVILLE, Miss. (AP) — A group of volunteers from a Mississippi town that was hit hard by a tornado in 2011 will travel this week to help victims of a deadly twister that hit Oklahoma.The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal says volunteers from Smithville Baptist Church will leave Wednesday to take a trailer full of supplies to Moore, Okla.A deadly EF5 tornado hit devastated Smithville in April 2011. Sixteen people were killed and 153 homes, four churches, the Town Hall, the police headquarters and 14 of the 15 businesses in the one-square-mile town were destroyed.An EF5 storm hit Moore on May 20, killing two dozen, and destroying a large swath of the town.Smithville Baptist Church Pastor Wes White says part of the goal is to minister to the people of Moore.When the tornado hit Smithville in 2011, White was in his red brick church with some residents from a nearby mobile home park who had sought shelter. White says they clung to one another "like a mass of humanity" as the church disintegrated, and somehow all survived."I think we will offer a unique perspective for some people there since many of the people in the group have experienced the same exact thing they have," Smith said.

Rail to fail? Bristol senator blamed for impending doom
Plans for a new commuter rail service that could have given Charlottesvillians two new options to reach D.C. each morning may have been dealt a fatal blow– ironically by a proposed test run of the project.
That's the view of former City Councilor Meredith Richards, who has spent six years on the board of the TransDominion Express, or TDX, a state-subsidized effort to start passenger trains rolling through the western side of the state, with the prospect of four daily whistle stops in Charlottesville.
Richards believes that one powerful state senator, William C. Wampler Jr. (R-Bristol)– in his zeal to ensure his hometown's early participation– has accidentally derailed the project.
"As he wants to configure it," says Richards, "it's going to fail."
The problem, she explains, is that Wampler wants to run the pilot program from Tennessee-straddling Bristol through sparsely populated southside Virginia and on to Richmond
Though she recognizes that Wampler spearheaded the project with the purpose of getting his isolated constituents a rail line, Richards predicts that after his test runs draw disappointing passenger traffic, legislators will rebuff requests for the ongoing subsidies the project demands.
Richards claims Wampler, a majority party member of the Senate Finance Committee, overrode the state's director of the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Karen Rae. Richards says that in June Rae proposed a one-train-a-day pilot program serving Charlottesville and other more populous areas between Roanoke and Washington, D.C. (Rae's plan reserved the Roanoke-to-Bristol and Lynchburg-to-Richmond links for a later phase.)
While Rae was out of the office last week, her boss, Governor Mark Warner, is waiting for her report– due January 10– to the General Assembly, according to the governor's spokesperson, Ellen Qualls. Key to that study, Qualls says, is a study by Norfolk Southern on anticipated costs.
"Generally speaking, the governor is supportive of Senator Wampler's interest in providing rail access to southwestern Virginia," says Qualls. "We'll have to see what the study shows."
Until Wampler's move in October, Richards thought the TDX picture was pretty rosy. The governor has repeatedly expressed support for the project, the General Assembly had already set aside $9.3 million, and Norfolk Southern, the railroad which owns most of the tracks, had agreed to supply and operate the locomotives.
In his opening state budget salvo on December 9, the governor proposed spending $23 million annually to improve the state's rail network.
Money's another beef Richards has with Wampler's plan. Improving the D.C. to Roanoke rails for TDX would cost $35.9 million, says Richards, while the stretch all the way to Bristol would add $31.4 million.
Wampler declined to return the Hook's repeated phone calls to his Bristol office. However, the chairman of the TDX steering committee, Abingdon vice-mayor French Moore Jr., wishes Richards would stop complaining.
"What she's doing is hurting the whole project," says Moore. "Wampler's the guy to help us get the money. He's probably the number-two man on the Senate Finance Committee, and probably the second- or third-ranking Republican– you just can't turn your back on that kind of person."
Moore says that Northern Virginia already has Virginia Railway Express, and Charlottesville already has Amtrak. "We don't have anything," says Moore.
"I hate that it's not through Charlottesville," says Moore, "but if we want to see it happen, we have to go along with what Senator Wampler says."
While Moore believes ridership on the pilot program will be strong, veteran state Delegate Mitch Van Yahres (D-Charlottesville), says he's seen first-hand how strong demand is in the more northern corridor. When Van Yahres recently rode the rails between to Washington and New York, he found Amtrak "jammed" with a car full of UVA students and other Charlottesville passengers.
"Senator Wampler seems to have an awful lot of control over the situation," says Van Yahres, "but I would like to see the pilot program take the best shot it can, and the best shot is through here."
Another wrinkle in Wampler's plan is the loss of Farmville. The two-college town was supposed to be a key stop on the Bristol-to-Richmond leg, but on September 30 Norfolk Southern filed an application to abandon the branch line running through Farmville.
Michael Testerman, long-time president of the Virginia Association of Railway Patrons, believes that Roanoke-to-Washington is the "strongest leg," but he doesn't share fears that the Bristol pilot program necessarily dooms the TDX.
"I'm sure [Wampler] wants to ride the train to Richmond, and bless his heart," says Testerman, "but what we need is for the state to find dedicated funds to sponsor the entire TransDominion Express service and initiate it all at once."
Meredith Richards blasts Wampler's vision.

Top Tax Savings Strategies For The Family-Run Business
There's a certain freedom associated with being self-employed, but there's also a lot of responsibility … and expenses. Fortunately, the family that's invested in the success of the business, and is willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work, may be able to secure some significant tax savings.
Marriage Has It's Benefits
If you're married, chances are good that your spouse is already doing helping out in some aspect of your business. So why not extend a formal job offer? While you may be hesitant to bring them aboard (officially), there are several key reasons why it pays to add your spouse to the payroll.
- Retirement benefits – Once hired, federal taxes will begin to be withheld from your spouse's paycheck. That means that they will start receiving Social Security credits toward retirement. This alone is a pretty great (when it comes to retirement – every little bit helps), but the retirement benefits of hiring your spouse don't stop there. If your business already offers employees a retirement plan, those benefits can be extended to your spouse when they opt in to the plan as well. Furthermore, contributions your company makes to the plan are tax deductible – up to 25 percent of compensation or $49,000, whichever is less.
- Health Insurance – Business owners everywhere continue to struggle with the affordability of health care. But those who do offer this benefit to their employees, might be able to secure some additional savings by opting to cover their spouse as an employee rather than as a dependent. Especially if you consider the fact that your company can deduct the premiums it pays for employee health coverage. Then you may want to ask your tax advisor if you are also eligible to receive the health care tax credit.
- Life Insurance – Because they are employees of your business, your spouse is eligible for the same benefits as all your other employees. That includes life insurance. And those costs are deductible as business expenses as well.
All Hands On Deck
Raise your hand if you had to do chores as a kid. We all did. It taught us work ethic and the value of a dollar. These days, families that own their own businesses can go a step further. Instead of paying your son or daughter a few dollars to mow the lawn, how about hiring them as a grounds keeper for your business? These days giving your kids a job in your business isn't just a huge help when it comes to managing the day-to-day responsibilities of the company, it can be advantageous from a tax perspective. Business owners who welcome their kids to the family workforce, may be able to:
- Deduct their children's salary from the business's income as a business expense.
- Avoid paying FICA tax on their children's salary.
- Shift a portion of business income from your tax bracket to your child's to significantly reduce your taxable income.
But, in order to make this strategy work, you must be able to prove that your children are legitimate employees and that their work is necessary. And don't forget to fill out all the proper forms that go along with hiring any new employee (W-4, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, etc.). It's also wise to keep track of their work and the time they put in by maintaining a time sheet. Also, while it may be tempting to pay your kids top-dollar for answering phones or cleaning the office, the IRS is on the lookout for unreasonable compensation practices. Don't pay your son or daughter more than what you would pay a stranger for doing the same job and pay them regularly, as you would with any other employee. Your child's paycheck can then be directly deposited into an account in your child's name.
TIP: Get more out of your child's earnings by opening a Roth IRA or 529 College Savings Plan in your child's name and direct deposit their wages into the account and watch it grow.
Start taking advantage of the various strategies available for family-run businesses. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com to find out how.

Oct. 1, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Rudy Meredith has seen just about everything in his long career as a player and coach. Until Wednesday, though, he had never been a part of a game that was delayed by the weather. With Yale and Bryant scoreless at halftime, a thundershower rolled through Reese Stadium. The players and fans headed into nearby Coxe Cage for what turned out to be a nearly hour-and-a-half wait. During the delay, Meredith sensed his team was losing its focus.
"Some of the girls were sleeping, others were studying," he said.
So Meredith devised a plan to get his team's attention back to the task at hand. He warned them that any give-away when play resumed would result in a full field sprint for the offender at the next practice. Apparently, the players got the message. Yale played a crisp second half, scoring a pair of goals, to walk away with a 2-0 non-league victory.
"It was frustrating because I thought we played a pretty good first half," Meredith said. "We just weren't patient in the attack zone. We'd get the ball in the final third and make a mistake. I thought we did a little better in the second half."
Yale's two goals came less than five minutes apart. Maggie Westfal got the first at 53:54. Kate Macauley set it up by sending a ball into the box from the right wing. Becky Brown deflected it to Westfal, who knocked it home. Brown also played a role in the second goal, sending a cross that Emma Whitfield headed just inside the near post at 58:26.
The second-half onslaught was much needed. The Bulldogs had scored only one goal in their previous three games, including a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Princeton in their Ivy League opener on Saturday.
"It was good to get our offense back in rhythm," Meredith said.
Yale (5-4-1) dominated the second 45 minutes, outshooting Bryant 8-2.
Ayana Sumiyasu, who played the first 67 minutes in goal, and Adelaide Gay both made one save apiece for the Bulldogs, who posted their fifth shutout of the season.
Bryant (1-7-2) also used a pair of goalkeepers as Jessica Clark and Jessica Neales made one save each. Clark, the starter, benefited from some good fortune early in the first half when Miyuki Hino's shot from 15 yards out banged off the right post. That was one of only two shots for Yale in the first 45 minutes.
The Bulldogs return to Ivy League play on Saturday, traveling to Harvard for an 11:30 a.m. kickoff.

Review – Milagro Tequilas
Guest post by Elisabeth, Cocktail Hacktress in training.
If you had asked me before I started dating Reese what my favorite type of drink was, I'm not sure what I would have said. I have tried plenty of drinks, but I am still inexperienced enough to learn something every time Reese mixes something up. I have learned one thing, though:
I love tequila!
I love the agave flavor, the way tequila enhances a drink with agave earthiness and smokiness, and how good tequila doesn't require the assistance of lime. If I could have spent my summer touring agave fields and sampling tequila fresh out of the still, I would have been in heaven. Alas, this wasn't in the plans so when I saw the series of Milagro tequilas Reese had received, I begged him to help me review them.
Milagro Silver (40% ABV)
This affordable version of the Milagro tequila line is the purest example of tequila I have ever tasted. Milagro Silver has a clean agave aroma (Reese smelled black pepper) without any interference. The taste reflects the aroma- clean, crisp agave with little interference of other flavors/aromas. Milagro Silver would be a great addition to a drink where you want to let the agave flavor shine.
Milagro Silver, Select Barrel Reserve (40% ABV)
The Special Barrel Reserve is aged in French Oak barrels which lends a richer, warmer complexity to the tequila. The nose has a subtle vanilla sweetness, with a little oakiness. The product tastes just as crisp as the Silver described above with a tremendously smooth, medium length finish of earthy agave.
Milagro Reprosado, Select Barrel Reserve (40% ABV)
The aging of the Special Barrel Reserve Milagro Reposado in American Oak bourbon barrels gives a heartier oak character. When directly comparing to the Milagro Silver, the sweet caramel and vanilla aroma really shines through. This tequila has a slight golden color and medium-long finish. This tequila is pure and all about the agave without being overly sweet, vegetal or smoky.
Rather than test Milagro's mixability with a traditional margarita, we opted for a tequila chocolate martini.
Mexican Chocolate Martini
1 1/2 oz Milagro Silver Tequila 3/4 oz Trader Vic's Chocolate Liqueur 1/4 oz Original Cinn 2 dashes Fee's Aztec Chocolate Bitters
1) Stir with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
This drink really lets the agave flavors of the Milagro shine through and smells delightfully like earthy agave sprinkled with cinnamon. Cinnamon and chocolate embrace a Mexican chocolate tradition. The cinnamon in Original Cinn is an earthier cinnamon to give it more an authentic taste (rather than a red hot cinnamon in other liqueurs). Do not be tempted to add cream. It swamps the flavors and overwhelms the drink.
P.S. (from Reese) – I love the bottle design on the Select Barrel Reserve bottlings. The hand-blown agave plant inside the bottle is gorgeous. The fact that the tequila inside the bottle is also fantastic is complete icing on the cake. *wink wink*

Offhand I can think of two ways in classical homotopy theory:
Show that $\pi_k(S^n)=0$ for $k\lt n$ by deforming a map $S^k\to S^n$ to be non-surjective, then contracting it away from a point not in its image. Now use the Hurewicz theorem to show $\pi_n(S^n) = H_n(S^n) = \mathbb{Z}$, which is easy to calculate with cellular homology.
Use the Freudenthal suspension theorem to induct up from $\pi_1(S^1)=\mathbb{Z}$, which you can prove using (say) the universal covering space $\mathbb{R}\to S^1$.
What other ways are there to prove $\pi_n(S^n)=\mathbb{Z}$?

The Derby/
If this blog betters your drinking in but one, minute way, I hope it provides you with a plethora of ideas for mixing easy, whiskey-based cocktails. Sometimes I picture you -- yes, you -- lumbering through the door of your recession-era, DIY-chic digs, on the edge of weary after a long day slogging through your paper-pushing profession of choice (or, in keeping with the recession theme, necessity), and of course nine times out of ten you're going to reach for the bourbon. Neat or straight-on-the-rocks will always do, but don't you deserve a bit more of a to-do? Just something uncomplicated that can add a little brightness, a little aroma, a soupcon of civility to your drink and your day? That's what I'm here for.
Le Chien Fumant was recommended to me by guest blogger Dan Saltzstein, who had visited our new hometown of Montreal this summer. It's a short walk from our own DIY-chic digs, so before dining there we'd already cased the joint out on dog walks. It's very British-inn cozy, and since the bar is just a counter separating the open kitchen from the dining area, without room for storage, the liquor bottles are suspended from the ceiling by bungee cords. Dangling booze!!
Our bartender was James Bond cocky/cool and assured us that, should we not fancy any of the specialty cocktails on the printed menu, he could fashion us "any of the standard, classic cocktails..." [saunters away towards a drink ticket, then suddenly remembers something important and leans back towards us to say] "... except Cosmopolitans." But the cocktail menu was quite intriguing, lined with a number of just the kind of bourbon cocktails I'm always looking for: those with a short list of easily accessible, often-on-hand ingredients, but ingredients I never would've thought to put together myself.
The Derby I ordered contained bourbon, sweet vermouth, Cointreau and lime juice. It was pleasant and way too easy for a
drunk pro like me to finish. They used more lime juice than I would; in fact, tasting it prompted me to utter the term "juice-forward" for the first time in my life.
I recreated it at home using much less lime, and added some Luxardo to provide a sour/bitter note at the end. I suppose I could've just used bitters, but you guys deserve something a little bit more, n'est-ce pas?
The Derby
(Adapted from Le Chien Fumant)
1 1/4 ounces Jim Beam Black bourbon
1/2 ounce Cinzano sweet vermouth
1/2 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce Luxardo
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for half a minute and strain into a cocktail glass.
Tasting Notes
I used Jim Beam Black and no-name triple sec (instead of Cointreau) simply because booze in Quebec is expensive and hard to come by. I like Jim Beam Black and it works quite nicely here, but I suppose if I had my druthers I'd opt for a higher-end, also-non-wheated bourbon like a Michter's small-batch.
Didn't bother with a garnish this time around; maybe an orange peel to pick up on the triple sec? Other suggestions?

Despite being a shopaholic, I managed to miss the fact that one of my favourite brands, RMK, had actually launched it's 4th UK counter in Selfridges, Manchester Exchange Square in December.
RMK was founded in 1997 by Rumiko, a Japanese make up artist and the brand is HUGE in Japan. That is no easy task because the Japanese market is so competitive, ever changing, always evolving, always tempting consumers with new beauty inventions.
I popped in during my lunch time to meet Eva Gomoriova, their leading make up artist who talked me through some of their new products.
The counter itself is a temporary one so is quite small but very busy – be aware that the full range is not on display because of the space!
Eva (who is a tall, very striking looking and very passionate about RMK) began by cleansing by skin (RMK have bibs, isn't that cool? Nothing worse than getting your make up done and you find globs of foundation and powder on your top later)…I am super paranoid about people using their random skincare on my at the moment, but because I know the RMK products, I know my skin is ok with it!
Eva used a massage balm on me to do a quick facial massage – first I had heard of it – and it was just LOVELY. The product was lovely too, not too greasy despite the face it is a balm and it sunk into my skin and smelt lovely – not too overpowering as some massage products can be.
Eva also did my nails (I don't know how she did it all so efficiently – multi-tasking!) using a sheer pink base then going over the top with their very cute nail art polish which has a pointy brush for precision.
I like the result a lot – I guess you could use a normal glitter polish with a paint brush but as I am quite lazy with nail polish in general, a read made nail tip product is perfect for me:
Eva did my make up and it was a very fun look using the new products from the Spring collection (double ended pencil and lip crayon) – the stand out for me though was the base products.
I was sat under a super bright light which showed up every single pore and flaw – horrible – but it was only when I stood under a more natural light I could marvel at how great my skin looked – glowy and natural.
Base products used were:
– New Polished Primer in 002
– Liquid Foundation in 104
– New Loose Powder Compact to set
The other stand out product was the Separate Curl mascara. I have a few mascaras that hold curl but this stuff totally ENHANCED it too. Sorry about the naff photo:
RMK also (at the moment) operate a loyalty scheme where you get a stamp for every £30 spent, and when you have collected 10, you get a gift. I used to collect them a few years back and the gifts were always generous.
I think it's a great idea – when a individual spends £100s of their hard earned money on your products, a little thank you goes far.
So there you go, if you are in Manchester check out the RMK counter in Exchange Square. It's a much needed fun brand for the City Centre if you ask me, and the staff I met all seemed so enthusiastic about the brand (in a genuine way).
RMK is currently exclusive to Selfridges and has 2 stores in Manchester, one in London and one in Birmingham. You can buy the range online now too from Asos.com (not the full range) and lookfantastic.com and beautbay.com

Treatment of Infertility
When specific causes of infertility are identified, the obvious first line of treatment is to restore the reproductive system to normal. For instance, when a fibroid or septum is found within the uterine cavity, surgical removal is the treatment of choice. In the case of ovulation problems, ovulation induction will often result in pregnancy. In cases of unexplained infertility, nonspecific treatment is used, since the subtle causes of infertility can often be overcome with this approach.
In cases where the cause of fertility is known but cannot be resolved, the goal of treatment is to circumvent the problem. This approach is often required in the presence of severely abnormal semen analyses. Traditionally, this problem is treated with donor sperm. More recently, severely abnormal semen analyses can often be successfully treated by injecting sperm into each egg during IVF. Another of these situations is tubes blocked by scar tissue, for which the most common treatment is IVF.
In general, the least expensive, simplest and lowest risk treatment options are employed first. If these are not successful, more invasive options can be used. Fertility treatments are covered by insurance to a variable degree, if at all, in most areas of the country. For this reason, financial considerations should be taken into account when making treatment decisions.
Surgical Treatment
Operative Laparoscopy
Gynecologic problems discovered at the time of laparoscopy can often be effectively treated. Endometriosis can be removed or destroyed. Tubal adhesions can be removed, and the fallopian tubes can be re-opened. However, in either case, the reproductive tissues cannot be returned to their pre-disease state, and a large percentage of adhesions recur. These patients continue to be at increased risk of having a tubal pregnancy even after treatment. Although surgical treatment improves fertility rates, many patients will require assisted reproductive techniques, such as IVF, to achieve pregnancy.
Operative Hysteroscopy
Operative hysteroscopy is similar to diagnostic hysteroscopy. However, because a larger scope is required to perform intrauterine surgery, operative hysteroscopy is routinely performed in the operating room under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. This technique is an effective method for removing fibroids, a uterine septum or endometrial polyps.
Ovulation Induction
Ovulation induction refers to the use of medications to induce or stimulate ovulation. Some medications are taken orally (for example, clomiphene citrate) and others are given by injection (for example, FSH). These medications indirectly or directly stimulate the ovaries so that ovulation is more likely to occur.
Clomiphene Citrate
Clomiphene citrate is the most common medication used for ovulation induction. This oral medication acts as an anti-estrogen. When taken for 5 days early in the menstrual cycle, it increases the hormones that stimulate the ovaries: LH and FSH, as mentioned above. This increases the chance of ovulation and often results in the release of more than one egg. For this reason, the primary risk of clomiphene citrate is twins, which occur in up to 7-10% of patients who become pregnant, and the rate of triplets is 1%.
Clomiphene citrate is most often initiated without ultrasound monitoring with good results. If pregnancy has not occurred during unmonitored cycles, cycles are often monitored with transvaginal ultrasound. In patients with PCOS, metformin (an oral diabetes medicine) is sometimes added to clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is an injectable medication used to stimulate ovulation. This medication is much more expensive than clomiphene citrate, and the response of an individual woman is somewhat variable. For this reason, it is important to monitor cycles carefully with ultrasound and serum estradiol levels to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation. Even with careful monitoring, the rate of twins is more than 30% and the risk of triplets or more is at least 5%.
Intrauterine Insemination
Intrauterine insemination (IUI), the most common form of artificial insemination, is a fertility treatment commonly used to increase the number of sperm that reach the egg. The doctor or nurse injects a washed sperm sample through the cervix and into the uterus. The sperm sample can be from either the patient's partner or a donor. IUI is performed as close as possible to the time ovulation occurs.
IUI appears to improve pregnancy rates in infertile patients regardless of cause, presumably by dramatically increasing the number of motile sperm that reach the egg. IUI is commonly used as a specific treatment for men with abnormal semen analyses. Although several tests have been developed to try to determine fertilization ability of sperm, none has been shown to be highly accurate in predicting pregnancy after IUI.
In Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is another treatment for infertility, regardless of cause. It is the treatment of choice for women with blocked tubes, men with severely abnormally semen analyses and women who require donor eggs, or a gestational carrier. The essence of IVF is to stimulate the ovaries to make a number of mature eggs, remove these eggs from the ovaries, fertilize them with sperm in the laboratory and place resulting embryos into the uterus.
The first step for IVF is to give the woman a medication to prevent release of the eggs prior to the planned removal. This is most commonly done with injections of a drug called leuprolide acetate, which prevents ovulation.
Next, the woman is given injectable FSH, with or without LH, to stimulate her ovaries to develop multiple mature eggs. The cycle is closely monitored by measuring serum estradiol levels and ovarian follicle growth with transvaginal ultrasound. When the follicle size indicates that the eggs are mature, ovulation is triggered with an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
Multiple eggs are removed from the ovaries using an ultrasound-guided transvaginal needle with the patient under anesthesia. The eggs are then fertilized by placing the sperm directly on the egg or by injecting a single sperm into each egg using a technique called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). In three to five days, one or more (depending on the age of the woman) of the resulting embryos are transferred through the cervix into the uterus using a catheter and ultrasound guidance. Patients take progesterone to help support the possible pregnancy, and a pregnancy test is performed approximately two weeks after embryo transfer.
Success Rates
Success rates for IVF depend on many factors, including the age of the woman and the cause of infertility. About 35-40% will become pregnant and approximately 80% of those will ultimately deliver a child. Of these women, about 25% will have twins and 1 will have three or more infants.
Medical complications from IVF are very infrequent. The most common is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which occurs in approximately 5% of patients. This complication is more likely to occur in women with extremely high estradiol levels and is characterized by nausea and vomiting, increased intra-abdominal fluid and, occasionally, shortness of breath. It resolves within weeks with supportive therapy.
3rd Party Reproduction
The use of donor sperm, egges or a gestational carrier has become a common technique to achieve pregnancy for some causes of infertility. Sperm donors are usually anonymous and frozen vials of processed samples are obtained from large donor sperm banks. The donors are tested for multiple genetic and infectious diseases prior to donating. The tests for infectious diseases are repeated six months later, prior to releasing the sample from "quarantine." These sperm samples are used for IUI or, if required, for IVF. The success rates using donor sperm depends on any other diagnoses the woman might have and on her age.
Egg donors can be either anonymous or known relatives or friends. Eggs must be retrieved transvaginally after ovarian stimulation and are used for IVF. Since the donor must undergo multiple tests and an invasive procedure, use of anonymous donor eggs for IVF more than doubles the cost to the recipient.
A gestational carrier is a women who carries a pregnancy for another woman. The "intended parents" would go through IVF and create embryos, but they would then be put into the uterus of a gestational carrier. This is an option for patients who have medical problems that prohibit pregnancy or if they have significant problems with their uterus or a history of a hysterectomy.
From a medical perspective, the use of donor eggs and sperm is a reasonable option for achieving pregnancy. Psychologically, using donor sperm or eggs is similar to adoption in some ways, since only one member of the couple will be genetically related to the offspring. Although donor sperm is relatively inexpensive, donor eggs are the most expensive infertility treatment option because their use requires IVF. For these reasons, donor sperm or eggs are not acceptable options for all couples.
When Treatment is Not Successful
With modern fertility enhancing techniques, a large percentage of couples will be successful in achieving pregnancy and becoming parents. However, some couples will be unable to achieve pregnancy despite multiple efforts over years. Sometimes, this is because of insurmountable medical problems. These are most often related to an anatomical abnormality of the uterus or an inability to carry a pregnancy for a range of both diagnosable and unknown causes. In many cases, couples exhaust their financial or emotional reserve before achieving success. Couples who undergo fertility treatment should be aware of the options they have if they are unable to achieve their goal of pregnancy.
Adoption is perhaps the most common alternative option chosen by couples who desire to be parents. This long-established alternative can take a number of years and can be as expensive as fertility treatment. Successful adoptive parents have all the joys and rewards of parenthood with the additional responsibilities of adoption. A multitude of adoption aid and support organizations exist to assist those with this interest.
Choosing to Not Have Children – A final option that some couples choose is not to have children. Helping couples come to terms with their loss and determining which alternative plan is most acceptable to both members of the couple often requires the aid of psychological counseling. When couples undergo fertility therapy for a number of years without success, the stress experienced by couples and alternative options to achieving pregnancy should be addressed by their doctor at regular intervals.

It will be tougher for day care owners to hide a criminal past when applying for a state license and would free up state workers to focus on the most troubled day cares under a bill that passed the Senate Tuesday.
Senate Bill 427 shifts annual inspections to every two years for day cares that have a good record and requires fingerprint background checks for three of four day care licenses issued by the state, rather than requiring home-based operations to simply submit to a name-based check.
"We have a responsibility to ensure all workers who come in contact with children in the state are properly vetted, that requirements are consistent throughout the system," said Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, who authored the bill.
Last fall, Jessica Tata was sentenced to 80 years in prison for a fire at her home-based day care that killed four toddlers in 2011.
Prosecutors said a pot of oil that Tata left on a hot burner started the fire after she left the children alone to go shopping.
Shortly after the fire, the Chronicle found state records showing she served three years of probation for setting a fire at Katy's Taylor High School when she was 14, a juvenile court decision that the state missed in multiple background checks connected to her registered home day care.
Under Nelson's bill, only listed family homes would not see the tougher background check standards. That designation is for providers who are paid to watch only one to three children, compared to a 12-child cap for the next license level.

This technique works best with a charcoal grill, but you can also use a gas grill as long as it has a built-in thermometer or a hole in the top for inserting the candy thermometer.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- For relish
- 1 1/2 pounds red bell peppers (about 3 large)
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 anchovies, drained, chopped
- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- For pork
- 1/2 cup fresh rosemary leaves (from about 2 large bunches)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 large garlic cloves
- Peel from 1 orange (orange part only, removed in strips with vegetable peeler)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 31/2-pound center-cut pork rib roast (6 or 7 rib bones), trimmed of excess fat
- 30 charcoal briquettes
- Make relish:
- Char peppers directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Transfer peppers to processor; using on/off turns, puree peppers coarsely. Transfer peppers to bowl. Mix in remaining ingredients. Season relish to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand 1 hour. (Relish can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Make pork:
- Combine rosemary, oil, garlic, orange peel strips, salt, and pepper in processor; blend until thick and almost smooth. Spread rosemary puree evenly over pork. Let stand while preparing barbecue.
- Stand charcoal chimney on nonflammable surface. Place torn newspaper in bottom of chimney; add charcoal briquettes. Light paper through hole near bottom of chimney. Let charcoal burn until ash is just gray, 30 minutes.
- Open vents at bottom of barbecue. Remove top rack. Carefully turn out hot charcoal from chimney onto bottom rack over 1 vent. To make a drip pan, pour water into disposable 9-inch-diameter foil pan to depth of 1/2 inch. Set pan with water on rack next to charcoal. Return top rack to barbecue.
- Place pork roast, bone side down, on top rack over drip pan. Cover barbecue with lid, positioning top vent directly over pork. Place stem of metal candy thermometer through top vent, keeping gauge on outside; thermometer should not touch meat or rack. Leave thermometer in place during cooking. Grill pork 1 hour, maintaining temperature of 325°F by opening top and bottom vents wider to increase heat and closing vents to decrease heat. Leave any other vents closed.
- Using tongs, turn pork over. Cover barbecue. Cook pork until instant-read meat thermometer inserted into top center of roast registers 140°F to 145°F, about 15 minutes longer; temperature in barbecue may fall below 325°F during last 30 minutes.
- Transfer pork to platter, leaving meat thermometer in place. Tent loosely with foil; let stand 15 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to 150°F to 155°F). Cut pork between bones to separate chops. Serve with red pepper relish.

(CNN) -- Portugal football legend Eusebio, who was top scorer at the 1966 World Cup, died at the age of 71, his former club Benfica said Sunday.
He died from a heart attack, the Lisbon side said on its website.
The striker, affectionately known as the "Black Panther," was admired throughout the Portuguese-speaking world and was thought to be among the sport's greatest players.
"Always eternal #Eusebio, rest in peace," Real Madrid forward and current Portugal icon Cristiano Ronaldo tweeted alongside a picture of both men together.
Portugal's former world player of the year, Luis Figo, tweeted that Eusebio was the "king" while Brazil's Pele, considered by many to be the best footballer of all time, tweeted that Eusebio was like a "brother" to him.
"May God receive him with open arms," said Pele.
Eusebio, whose full name was Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, played for three North American Soccer League teams in the twilight of his career but is best known for his exploits in 15 years at Benfica.
Born in 1942 in Mozambique, which was then a Portuguese territory, he scored 41 goals in 64 appearances for his adopted country.
Named European Footballer of the Year in 1965, Eusebio won widespread acclaim the following year at the World Cup in England. He scored nine goals in the competition, helping his team reach the semifinals.
World Cup scorer
He scored two goals as Portugal eliminated defending champions Brazil in the group stage, then netted four times in an incredible quarterfinal comeback against North Korea as his side rallied from 3-0 down to win 5-3 in one of the tournament's most famous matches.
Eusebio scored again in the semifinals against England, but the hosts won 2-1 before beating Germany in the final.
"His talent brought joy for entire generations, even those who didn't live through the most glorious moments of his career," Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva told Portuguese television.
World football body FIFA said Eusebio was considered "one of the best footballers of all time and best ever from Portugal."
"Football has lost a legend," FIFA president Sepp Blatter tweeted as the tributes continued. "But Eusebio's place among the greats will never be taken away."
Added UEFA president Michel Platini: "On the field, Eusebio was a true legend, both in the colors of Portugal and Benfica," he told UEFA's website.
"But also off it, he was a true ambassador for Portuguese football on the international stage. He was more than a footballer. A good and charming man, Eusebio will be sadly missed."
During his career with Benfica, the Lisbon side won the European Cup in 1962. He scored 733 times in 745 professional matches, according to FIFA.
He won 10 league titles and five Portuguese cups with the Eagles and was Portugal's top league scorer between 1964 and 1973.
"We're saddened to hear Benfica legend Eusebio has passed away," tweeted Manchester United. "He was a fantastic player and a friend of the club."
