Background The level of traditional medicine use, particularly Jamu use, in Indonesia is substantial. Indonesians do not always seek timely treatment for malaria and may seek self-medication via traditional medicine. This paper reports findings from the first focused analyses of traditional medicine use for malaria in Indonesia and the first such analyses worldwide to draw upon a large sample of respondents across high-risk malaria endemic areas. Methods A sub-study of the Indonesia Basic Health Research/Riskesdas Study 2010 focused on 12,226 adults aged 15 years and above residing in high-risk malaria-endemic provinces. Logistic regression was undertaken to determine the significant associations for traditional medicine use for malaria symptoms. Findings Approximately one in five respondents use traditional medicine for malaria symptoms and the vast majority experiencing multiple episodes of malaria use traditional medicine alongside free antimalarial drug treatments. Respondents consuming traditional medicine for general health/common illness purposes every day (odds ratio: 3.75, 95% Confidence Interval: 2.93 4.79), those without a hospital in local vicinity (odds ratio: 1.31, 95% Confidence Interval: 1.10 1.57), and those living in poorer quality housing, were more likely to use traditional medicine for malaria symptoms. Conclusion A substantial percentage of those with malaria symptoms utilize traditional medicine for treating their malaria symptoms. In order to promote safe and effective malaria treatment, all providing malaria care in Indonesia need to enquire with their patients about possible traditional medicine use.

Gaia Skin Naturals
The products of Gaia Skin Naturals caught my eye while as I was going around the expo because theirs come in smaller and more compact bottles perfect for travel as compared to the other brands. I also love that it is a homegrown business based in Hallam, Victoria and that they offer products that are great for sensitive skin (think eczema) and are made for everyday use.
They had an expo-exclusive offer wherein if you buy 3 bottles, you'll only have to pay $25. The recommended retail price per bottle is $11.50 which would give expo-goers a nice saving of $9.50. Again, I had been given this hard decision to choose just 3 bottles from their range and I was bombarded by a lot of products while I was browsing at their booth. It is a good thing that one of their friendly staff had approached me and explained each product better so I got an idea what to get. I asked what are the best products for newborn. She told me that it would be best if I do not get the shampoo for now since Bibibam won't have that much hair to wash for the first few months . She continued that I could just get the Bath and Body Wash for daytime use and Sleeptime Bath for night-time use which has this amazing lavender smell that would be helpful for the baby to sleep better and relax. The bath washes can also double as a shampoo so I'd be hitting two birds with one stone by buying these products.
I also asked if a moisturizer is essential. She said that any form of moisturizing is good after bath. Gaia's Baby Moisturiser is perfect for daytime use but the Massage Oil of course gives more moisturizing depth. Fair enough! Thanks to this lovely booth attendant my decision-making process had became easier. I ended up getting the Sleeptime Bath, Bath and Body Wash and Baby Moisturiser. She also gave me one free pack of Bamboo baby wipes, making my total stash of baby wipes now three, and a sample sachet of each of their products. Sweet!
Moving on, I had also been on the lookout for some easy-to-wear, for-everyday-use baby clothes and of course, I haven't given up on the swaddle/ sleep bag just yet. Whenever I am on the lookout for an item to buy, the first consideration always is the price. I do not go for the premium brand or the most expensive one, what I usually check first is the cheapest one and just move on to the next in line should the quality of the cheapest one is not that great. An ultimate buy is always the one that I've paid not much for but will exceed its worth and more. That is why whenever I am checking out a booth or a shop, I'll check first if the products there are within my budget range because seriously, what is the point for me to look around if I know that I'd just end up not being able to buy them.
Silly Billyz
Continuing on my mission, I found this booth that sells random baby stuffs from different brands and while I was looking around, my eyes just went directly to the Muslin swaddle wraps from Silly Billyz displayed at the front - just for $10 for the 2 packs of 2. Now that is a great deal. I just had to buy them!
Since Aaron had already bought 2 swaddle wraps during a recent baby expo in Manila and I already got 4 more, I've decided that I'll just drop the sleep bag since I do not see anymore the point of buying a product that would serve the same purpose as the wraps. I can surely handle a little bit of origami!
The last thing in my agenda are the zippered baby clothes. I've read comments from moms of newborns that the zippered ones are the best options due to their manageability and ease of use. You just have to put the arms of the baby in the arm holes, close up the garment and zip up. Worries such as flailing arms and too much movement from your baby are not legitimate worries anymore with the zippered clothes!
I had a hard time looking for baby clothes that would fit my budget so to encounter ergoPouch had been really an amazing blessing! ergoPouch is a known innovator when it comes to natural, organic babies and toddlers sleep products. Think of swaddles, sleeping bags and sleep suit bags! They definitely have one of the best, if not the best, of these items in the market. Aside from these, they also offer what they call layers which are basically baby clothes which comes in short-sleeves or long-sleeves. Since Bibibam will be born during summer, I was actually leaning towards on getting a short-sleeved layer for daytime use and long-sleeved layer for nighttime. Seeing that they only sell the layers for $20 each for short-sleeves and $25 each for long-sleeves, I was already ready to grab one but seeing the term TOG made me take a step backwards and assess what that means. Good thing one of the lovely attendants there saw the look of confusion in my eyes so she approached me to discuss everything she knows about the layers.
Apparently, TOG rating is a common term in the baby-sleepwear universe. It stands for 'Thermal Overall Grade' which is basically a measurement that tells you how much a fabric insulates. The higher the TOG rating is, the higher its ability to insulate. The lowest they got is 0.2 TOG, which is perfect during summer and the highest is 1.0 TOG which proves to be better for winter.
I eventually decided to get two 0.2 TOG short-sleeved layers: one for Bibibam's newborn phase (0 to 3 months) and another one when he's already 3 to 6 months old. I also asked the saleslady who'd assisted me if she can give me further discount since I bought two items and she happily said that she can let me have both for just $35 total. I was so ecstatic! Who knew that I could still bargain my way through here! * rubbing twice my left shoulder *
I left the expo feeling accomplished since I was able to check off every essentials that I listed and I was able to get all of them for a fraction of their retail price. Though I ended up going home tired with all the walking and carrying that I had to do, I can truly say that the effort and time I spent there was well worth it! By doing these mommy things like going to baby expos, shopping for the little one's clothes and stuffs and getting excited about the fact that he'll be using all of these 3 months from now, there is no denying that I'll become a mommy soon. Each day, the feeling and thought that 3 months from now someone will be purely dependent on me has already been sinking deeper in my well being. As scary as it may seem, I am ready for the challenge. With you in the picture, I know that I will do whatever it takes to be a better version of myself each day and the best mommy that I could possibly be to you.

Well that didn't take long. Netflix launches in the UK with unlimited streaming for £5.99 and Amazon replies with a streaming-only package at an "introductory" price of £4.99.
Despite each service tying up exclusives that could mean you might have to subscribe to both of them to have everything available, it looks like the two are going to battle it out on price. A price war over streaming media is great news for Brits looking for more content, but who don't want to pony up for Sky or Virgin.
Although LoveFilm's streaming-only £4.99 package wasn't live on its site at the time of writing, you should be able to get both LoveFilm and Netflix streaming for £11 all-in – sounds like a bargain for a pay-TV non-subscriber like me.

I was lucky enough to be invited into Animal Cove's beta (thanks KingsIsle!), and I've been having fun exploring all that it has to offer. For those who are unaware, Animal Cove is KingsIsle's newest mobile game that is soft launched in select territories. Having completed the game's first "area," I thought now would be a great time to recap what's happened so far and give you all an idea of what to expect when it launches worldwide.
What To Expect
- It feels more polished and cinematic than KingsIsle's previous mobile games. Animal Cove includes a beginning 3D cutscene, completely voiced-over characters, and more character interaction as a whole. Like in Pirate101, sometimes the characters will actually talk to you without triggering a full dialogue box.
- It's a storyline-driven match-3. Animal Cove is all about the story and uncovering the many mysteries of the island you washed up on. In order to unlock more of the story, you have to collect keys by completing match-3 levels. Each level has a different objective ranging from collecting a certain # of puzzle pieces, saving a hedgehog, freeing a starfish, breaking boxes, or opening treasure chests.
- It's challenging. According to Katherine_Light (who has completed the game's existing storyline), Animal Cove has about 100 storyline levels. I'm currently on level 22, and it's already been a struggle, lol. While a good strategy will help you immensely, most of these levels also require a lot of luck to go your way. So don't expect a cakewalk match-3 – Animal Cove is HARD and it gets hard EARLY (around level 12 I'd say!).
- New mechanics/elements are introduced gradually. In my experience, most mobile games introduce the game's in and outs within a few levels. However, Animal Cove constantly presents you with new objectives or game elements well into the storyline. In fact, I just recently gained access to the game's "Daily Giveaway" at around level 20 or so.
- There are some really cool unique elements. Characters will "ChatterBox" with you (basically the equivalent of Skype), you'll get to read "product reviews" when you renovate areas, and you'll have the ability to customize the island to your liking.
Gameplay Explained
(Click to enlarge to see the numbers if need be)
- These are your lives. You start with 5 and will lose one each time you fail to complete a level. If you run out, you'll have to wait for them to regenerate in order to continue. You can also redeem more lives/hearts from friends who have gifted you.
- This is your friends list. Here you can view your current friends, send/receive lives, and look for recommended friends.
- These are your coins. You can use coins to edit already customized areas, continue failed levels by buying more "turns," buy boosters, and more.
- This is where your keys are stored. Keys are obtained by completing levels and are used to unlock more of the storyline.
- This is your settings button. "Nuff said.
- This is the "Daily Giveaway." Each day you'll be able to spin to receive a random item to help you in game. This won't unlock until level 20 or so.
- This button shows you your current level and takes you to the puzzle board.
- This is what I call the "Task" button. Here you can view your current objectives, see how many keys you need to unlock them, complete character-specific missions, learn more about the animals you've encountered, and watch cutscenes you've already seen.
The Board
(Click to enlarge to see the numbers if need be)
- This is your goal. To beat the level, you need to successfully achieve what's shown here.
- This is the number of turns you have to beat the level.
- This is the "Hammer." The hammer can strike a box on the board to remove a reinforcement or destroy the box completely.
- This is the "Thundercloud." In order to use it, you must charge it. The thundercloud can be charged by setting off bombs. Once you do that, you can use the thundercloud to remove ALL pieces of the same type.
- A bomb. Matching at least 4 pieces together will create a bomb. The more pieces you match, the bigger the bomb you make. Combining a thundercloud with a bomb will create EVEN MORE bombs!
- An egg. If you match 4 pieces in a square formation, you'll create an egg. Match an egg with its corresponding color and it will hatch a helpful chicken! Each chicken will make a move on the board that will help you achieve your goal.
- A paw piece. These only appear on levels that contain a hedgehog. Whenever a paw piece is included in one of your matches, the hedgehog will move forward one space.
- A box. Boxes can be destroyed by making matches next to them. Boxes that have panels on them are reinforced and need more than one match to break.
- (Not shown) Roped pieces. Roped pieces can't be swiped or moved. You can get rid of roped pieces by making matches next to them.
The Story So Far
If you want to avoid Animal Cove spoilers – NOW IS THE TIME TO LEAVE (it's okay, I'll understand!).
The game starts off by showing you on a boat. It's a calm day with peaceful waters …. or so you think. In the distance you see a volcano. The volcano then unexpectedly releases a strange bright light into the atmosphere … causing the sky to become engulfed in darkness. Not long after, an aftershock creates a force powerful enough to rock the waves and tips you overboard. As you're getting pulled under, the last thing you see is your sinking boat disappearing into the depths of the ocean.
As you regain consciousness, you're greeted by a yellow dog dressed in a tie. He asks if you're alright, but then realizes that you probably don't understand him. After all, humans don't usually speak dog and dogs don't usually speak human. However, it turns out that you can understand what he's saying. Astounded, the dog properly introduces himself as Winston Howl III and says that there's someone you should meet. The camera cuts to a human named Elias Vim. He's a billionaire, entrepreneur, and owns the very island you washed up on. He tells you that he's been searching the world for someone who can speak with animals and well … here you are. Elias also shares that he's discovered animals that are just as smart as we (humans) are and plans to create a paradise for them here on the island. Long ago, the island was apparently an amusement park – and Elias believes the mystery of the animals is somehow intertwined with it. After showing you your new bunk, Elias leaves and you and Winston start to "sniff around" the island. You come across a strange object, but you're not quite sure what it is yet …
While looking around, you meet a young girl named Harper. She says that she'll be the one helping you out with any and all construction needs. Once she puts the finishing touches on your bunk, she leaves so you can further explore the island. After doing a little digging, you realize that strange object from earlier is actually a massive globe. You and Harper are able to pull it out of the ground, but it's still in bad shape. In the meantime, you and Winston decide to investigate some rustling in the nearby bushes. When you approach, a purple cat pops out. He introduces himself as Dez, but states that he doesn't know how or why he's on the island. He does however, offer to be your communications expert. After ordering him some "special equipment" (that looks an awful lot like a video game console), Dez tells you that he will be able to keep in radio-contact whenever you venture further into the island.
Remember that massive globe you dug out earlier? Harper fixed it up and in the process – discovered a worn map of the old amusement park. You can't quite make out the whole thing, but it does give you some valuable information. For instance, the globe you discovered once resided in a completely different part of the park. How did it end up all the way over here? Excited about your recent discovery, you decide to call Elias. Although he's happy to hear about what you've found, Elias has more pressing matters for you to attend to. Apparently he's found a panda somewhere on the island and tasks you with helping it. The shoreline is no place for a panda though. Using your newly discovered amusement park map, you locate an area of the island called "Mysteries of the East." That sounds more fit for a panda. Eager to get things rolling, you and Winston decide to travel to "Mysteries of the East" while Dez stays behind to handle communications.

This issue of Yashar is dedicated in loving memvory to Leah bat Rivkah, mother of Rabbi Jan Dodi.
Through a Mussar Lens: Calmness Leads to Elevation
Our minds are like the proverbial cork tossed on stormy seas. Global networks torment us with instant news about every natural disaster, political upheaval and affront to justice happening in corners of the world our grandparents never even heard of. Our attention is fragmented between 100 channels and a million websites. And then there is social media, where we are driven to "compare and despair": more friends than you, more likes than you, more accomplished children than you …
Practicing Calm Amid Chaos
I grew up in what I considered from an early age to be a house filled with chaos. By the time I turned 10, my father had lost his business, my mother had to join the workforce, and I was enlisted to care for two brothers and a sister. Since each member in my family had a strong personality, home life could be quite intense.
Calmness Aids in Pursuing Passions
Calmness is a relatively recent experience for me, since discovering mindfulness meditation a few years ago. But my gradually increasing ability to quiet my chattering mind is slowly but surely changing my life for the better. It is also helping to equip me to work on social justice.

NEW MUSSAR BOOK: TMI faculty member David Jaffe's new book, Changing the World from the Inside Out, employs tools from Mussar tradition to teach self-development as a way to accomplish sustainable change. "This wise book is essential reading for anyone who recognizes that the world's problems demand spiritual solutions, because it is we who must change before we can expect to change the world," Alan Morinis writes. "Rabbi Jaffe draws on deep and time-tested Jewish wisdom to guide us to become more effective activists by bringing our highest truth to bear on public issues. He shows us how to tap the wellsprings of motivation, channel emotions, and align our behavior with our highest values to make us more effective in serving the public good."
SAVE THE DATE: The 2017 Practice Retreat will be held from May 21 to 24, 2017.
ISRAEL TRIP: Join The Mussar Institute for 10 days in Israel through the lens of Mussar. The tour, led by Alan Morinis and Avi Fertig, will take place from February 19 to March 1, 2017. For more information or to register, click here.
"MY OWN HAPPINESS": TMI faculty member Chaim Safren offers a short Mussar lesson on avoiding the brainwashing that tells us what things can make us happy. Check out this recent talk on his weekly video blog.
The Practice Corner
When you become aware that your mind is perturbed, check whether the concern is for you or for someone else. If for yourself, seek to calm the waves of your mind by repeating aloud the phrase, "Rise above the good or the bad. Rise above the good or the bad. Rise above the good or the bad."
Do this for as long as it takes for your mind to settle into calmness. Then bring into focus the one who really needs your help.

I Didn't Make Him Talk About His Feelings
I have been married for nearly 15 years. I am always thankful for my husband, but I do miss how we used to be with one another. We have had three kids since we were married, and I know that we are both usually tired by the end of the night. I still wanted to get that passion back in our lives though. When my best friend sent me an email with a subject line that only said 'make him desire you', I was not sure what she was up to. It did not take me long to find out though.
She was in a similar position, though she had been married a few more years than I have been. Her marriage, while good, was on the stale side too, and she told me that she had downloaded a book that was loaded with tips and suggestions on how to bring the passion back into their relationship. I was a bit hesitant at first, because I wasn't even sure I had the energy. I started thinking back to the times when we were dating though, and I realized that I missed those times even more than I had thought.
I downloaded the book too, and I read through it one afternoon. When my husband came home that night from work, the kids were at my sister's house. We had a romantic dinner, and I told him what I had been up to that day. I had to laugh when he looked a bit worried at first. I think he thought I was going to make him talk about his feelings or something. I had read though that men show their feelings better than they talk about them, and I was prepared to try things his way. We both learned a lot about each other that night, and our relationship has never been better!

What It Could Look Like
Preservation. Reunification. Expansion.
Family-based care seeks to preserve families. To keep them together despite hardship. To prevent children from entering institutions and to support the whole family so they can thrive together.
Family-based care seeks to reunify families. To bring them back together when, for one reason or another, they were separated. To make sure that they are reunified in a way that encourages healing, love, and strength.
Family-based care seeks to expand families. To create families where once there was just a child or just a person. To change the definition of family so that a child whose parents die doesn't have to stay parentless forever.
Carlos, Deysy, Miguel*.
Carlos, Deysy, and Miguel are three children who have, at some point, passed through one of our programs.
Carlos is a goofy, lovable first grader. He likes cars and Curious George, gives great hugs, and regularly spills atol all over the classroom floor. Some days last year, Carlos came into school tired, unwashed, and with a growling stomach. He lashed out on these days, punching a classmate for calling him a name he doesn't like or crying when his pencil broke.
This year, Carlos's mom meets regularly with Story's social worker, Youscella, and Story has begun to work on preserving Carlos's family. Carlos's mom is a single mother raising two young boys. They were living in a sheet-metal house, always low on money, scraping by with what they could- but just barely. Because Carlos's mom was brave enough to admit that she needed support, Story was able to work with her to ensure that the family could thrive.
Now, Carlos attends the School of Hope on scholarship. He receives a free, nutritious lunch at the end of the school day, and his full belly allows him to focus better on his schoolwork. His family's limited resources aren't stretched so thin. A Story staff member picks him up for school so his mom has more time to do other things. His mom receives regular psychological support from Story's psychologist, Karen, to ensure she knows how to relieve stress in a healthy, constructive way.
Recently, a short-term mission team began constructing a house for them out of sturdier materials. When it's completed, it will be warm and dry. One less thing to worry about for a mom with her hands full. Carlos didn't need a new family, or to re-meet the family he already had. Carlos's family just needed a little help to set them up for success.
Miguel, on the other hand, spent the last several years in an orphanage. His own mom, a single mother like Carlos's but without the resources to provide for even one of them, placed him there so he could go to school, receive three meals a day, and have a roof over his head. She visited him weekly, took him to church, and brought him little snacks or toys when she could.
Miguel lived with two very loving caretakers, but didn't connect with them like some of the other boys who didn't have a parental connection with other adults.
At the end of last year, Miguel's mom decided she was ready to bring him home, and the judge agreed. But unfortunately, living with family after a long time away from each other isn't as easy as simply staying with family. To ensure that their reunification was as successful as possible, Miguel's mom began receiving support from Story.
Miguel attends the School of Hope on scholarship and receives the same hot lunch that Carlos does. His mom also attends psychological support sessions with our psychologist, as well as parenting classes held at the school. Our social worker does regular home visits to make sure they have what they need, and Miguel and his mother are thriving thanks to the extra support that they required after being apart for so long.
Deysy, like Miguel, also used to live at the orphanage. She was a baby when she first came, and spent several years in the "baby room," growing up with the other babies and toddlers as her brothers and sisters and their caretaker as her "mami". Eventually, she moved up to a room with older girls, and was cared for by a couple who loved her very much.
Still, simply by virtue of growing up in an orphanage, she was a victim of trauma. The resulting symptoms, which she shared with many of those in her room, meant that she needed much more one-on-one attention than was possible when she shared her caretakers with nine other girls. She was smart and strong and silly, but she was also struggling with attachment disorders and symptoms of trauma.
Then, last year, Deysy was one of the 119 children adopted in Guatemala. Now she has a mommy and a daddy who can give her their undivided attention. She graduated from kindergarten and received an award for having some of the best grades in the class. In the picture sent to her former caretakers, she's smiling big, holding a certificate, her hair carefully curled by someone's gentle hands.
Earlier this year, she and her parents put together a donation package to be sent back to the orphanage where she spent her first few years. Deysy is treasured and cared for. She has someone to hold her when she cries, talk to her teachers about her behavior in school, cook the foods that she likes, and walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.
She has a family, and all it took was to expand someone's definition of what that should look like.
Preservation. Reunification. Expansion.
This is what it could look like - maybe not for everyone, but for the vast majority of the 5,000+ kids in Guatemala's protection system. Stories of families preserved, families reunified, and families expanded. Stories of strength, perseverance, acceptance, thriving, healing, and love.
This is what it could look like. And what's more, this is what it should look like. After all, we are made for family.

Officials: 15 were hurt in deadly Texas hospital explosion
Authorities now say 15 construction workers were hurt, most from blast and burn injuries, in an explosion at a Central Texas hospital that killed one man.
Officials at a news conference Wednesday did not provide the conditions of the victims but said in the aftermath of Tuesday's explosion at Coryell Memorial Hospital in Gatesville that at least three were in critical condition. Authorities initially said 12 were injured.
Gatesville police Chief Nathan Gohlke on Wednesday identified the construction worker who was killed as 44-year-old Michael Bruggman of Rogers, south of Temple.
Witnesses said an electric generator inside an uncompleted hospital expansion exploded, spreading shrapnel. However, Dave Byrom, the hospital's chief executive, said the blast possibly started with a gas line.
The explosion caused part of the construction project to collapse.

Cedar Bay Head to Eickelberg Bay/
Awoke to a nice morning. We were chilling out and getting ready to depart when we sucked a jellyfish into the 9kW generator's sea water intake strainer. It shut down immediately. It was totally gross and disgusting, a huge blob of gook in the strainer. Bob had a hell of a time getting the strainer out, and then once he did, we couldn't dislodge the jellyfish parts. I had to work on it for a long time with vinegar and baking soda, which finally did the trick, and we were operational once more.
We waited for the right tide, so we could see not only the charted rock but the marked rock, noted as "PA reported 2011" on the charts. We steeled our nerves and departed on Bob's route…and it worked fabulously!
We meandered our way over to Eickelberg Bay, hoping to see critters but we were skunked. I chose this anchorage because it had white cobble beaches that were good for walks at low tide. As we approached Glacier Island, we started to see icebergs again.
Eickelberg looks open and kind of uninviting at first but it does have great beaches. We decided to walk them when the tide was right in the morning and we enjoyed our solitude, relaxing well into the evening with the air conditioning running again!

Cost of placing, then removing, High Street speed limit signs
Kit Ridley made a request for information from East Sussex County Council about the cost of placing, then removing, 20mph speed limit signs in Uckfield High Street. He shares the response here.
- The total cost to supply and put up the posts and signs associated with the 20mph speed limit was £19,500.
- The cost to introduce the roundels was £324.
- Total anticipated cost of removing the 20mph signs will be £400
- The department responsible – Communities, Economies and Transport
- Legal Advice Costs – none we use our own internal legal team and there isn't a way to breakdown how much it cost for them to consider this.

Litter picking contractors should face financial penalties
Owen Hoy writes: I was somewhat amazed to read the comments made by Councillor Roy Galley in relation to litter picking in Wealden District.
He was praising communities for getting involved in the clear-up process which of course is admirable and I truly believe that the volunteer members of Brighter Uckfield do a fantastic job in sometimes difficult circumstances, but why should they and others like them be seen putting their lives at risk on busy and dangerous roads when KIER the contractor responsible for such issues is ignoring the problem again this year.
I personally, driving around the district since I first raised this matter with Uckfield News a few weeks ago, have seen no improvement whatsoever.
As well as praising community input Councillor Roy Galley as part of his so-called portfolio and responsibility, should be bringing pressure to bear on KIER by way of financial penalties for not undertaking their statutory duty in clearing this litter and filth from our roads otherwise they will continue to dismiss the issue.
I just cannot believe that all these weeks after my initial article appeared and despite other stories appearing, Wealden District Council believe that the on-going situation is acceptable.
In concluding yes there are hundreds perhaps even thousands of individuals in Wealden who want to do their bit but how about KIER doing their bit also, after all they are being paid substantial amounts of taxpayers money annually. As for KIER providing some of the litter picking equipment – well that really is an insult.

Quotes about Quality
There's a kind of dynamic quality about theater and that dynamic quality expresses itself in relation to, first of all, the environment in which it's being staged; then the audience, the nature of the audience, the quality of the audience. (Wole Soyinka)

Florence + The Machine Score Song of the Year
TIME magazine has named Florence's "No Light, No Light" as the 2011 Song Of The Year.
TIME says the song "could be the sound of a religious revival. Florence Welch's rich voice has never sounded better than on this track; her fervent, even rapturous, lamentations about her partner's lost love resonate like requests for salvation made by a faltering believer with arms raised to the sky. 'Heaven help me, I need to make it right' she wails, but gets no reply. Replete with harps and a tribal drum beat, 'No Light, No Light' operates as a plea for salvation that will soon have you running to your deity of choice." more on this story

Metro-East News
Top Pentagon leaders called for NGA's move to Scott Air Force Base a decade ago
Highly detailed plans to move the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency from its current home near downtown St. Louis to a $1.6 billion facility at Scott Air Force Base have been on the drawing board for more than a decade.
Minutes from the May 9, 2005, meeting of top Pentagon leaders show they considered just one option for moving NGA from its cramped and aging facility at the old St. Louis Arsenal at 3200 S. 2nd St., in St. Louis — the move to Scott, because that was the only option that made sense in terms of cost savings, security, improved efficiency and enhanced mission performance, according to a copy of the minutes, which were obtained by the News-Democrat.
Michael W. Wynne, who was the chairman of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission's Infrastructure Executive Council, told the News-Democrat he could only recall one site being discussed when the seven-member council met at the Pentagon in 2005 for a closed-door session regarding the fate of the NGA facility in St. Louis.
Everyone at the council meeting agreed that NGA, a highly-classified Pentagon intelligence agency that makes military and intelligence maps based on satellite imagery, could not remain much longer at its St. Louis home, which has been in continuous use since 1827, because of its age and the growing cost of operations and maintenance, according to Wynne, who is now a defense industry consultant.
"So the thought was they needed to find a new structure for consolidation," said Wynne, who in early 2005 held the title of principal deputy under secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. From November 2005 to June 2008, he served as Air Force secretary.
Scott made a natural choice for NGA's new home because of "the inclusive security, the housing, the cost of living — all of those things would play to the benefit of Belleville and Scott Air Force Base."
Moving both NGA facilities to Scott and Fort Belvoir, respectively, would result in estimated annual savings to the federal government of $140.7 million, according to the meeting minutes, which did not contain a separate break-out on cost savings for each facility.
The May 9, 2005, council meeting minutes and Wynne's recollections are significant because they offer the first public glimpse into the history of the behind-the-scenes decision-making behind the politically contentious search for a new home for the St. Louis NGA campus and the 3,100 jobs connected to it.
Robert Cardillo, NGA's chief, is set to announce his choice for NGA's new home in March. Officially, four sites are being considered — two in St. Louis County, one in North St. Louis and Scott. Cardillo's decision will be a culmination of a site selection process that began 15 months ago.
Realistically, though, only two sites are considered still in the running: North St. Louis, which has the backing of Missouri leaders, and a 182-acre tract in St. Clair County next door to Scott, which is being promoted by county and Illinois leaders.
More than a week ago, St. Clair County leaders sought to up the ante by offering 200 acres of county land to NGA, in addition to the 182-acre tract, which is also being offered free of charge.
"Placing NGA close to their customers and the people that supply them information is in the best interest of NGA," said St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern, during the Nov. 16 press conference to announce the offer of 200 more acres. "In addition, placing them on a site that's nearly 400 acres, as to one one-fourth the size" — the North St. Louis site — "provides them with a lot of room to be able to grow, to expand or do whatever they wish on their property. It provides them with a lot more opportunity and a lot more flexibility in the future.
Wynne's blue ribbon infrastructure committee — whose members consisted of the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force, as well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — considered two pieces of business when they met in 2005 to discuss NGA's future.
First, council members were tasked with coming up with a game plan for consolidating the four NGA facilities operating in the Washington, D.C. area. The council agreed to shut down all four and consolidate them, and their combined 8,500 employees, into a 2.77 million square-foot facility called NGA East at Fort Belvoir, Va.
Following through on those plans, NGA East was completed in 2011.
Second, the council agreed to move NGA from its facilities in St. Louis and Arnold, Mo., to Scott Air Force Base. The plan was approved subject to confirmation from Carole A. Haave, at the time the Pentagon's deputy under secretary of defense (Intelligence) counterintelligence and security.
Wynne said he is not sure why plans regarding NGA West have sat in limbo for a decade.
"I can only tell you that the sequester has hit everybody," Wynne said, alluding to the automatic 10-percent budget-cutting mechanism that Congress enacted several years ago to drive down the nation's deficit.
Wynne offered another theory for the delay: "There could've been a political debate that has not yet been settled," he said.
Maggie Crane, a spokeswoman for St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, one of the most ardent promoters of the North St. Louis site, said in an email the BRAC council's recommendation to move NGA West to Scott is "hardly relevant today," because it doesn't influence the current decision being undertaken by NGA.
"A proposal that was raised, considered, and then rejected 10 years ago — by a different set of individuals, under different considerations — is even less relevant now than it was then," Crane wrote.
Crane further noted that, "By design, the councils consider thousands of courses of actions with respect to closing or realigning facilities — the majority of which are not implemented. So, it's hardly relevant today. In fact, if you choose to make the old NGA proposal relevant, it would only make logical sense to also make relevant the old proposal to pull major operations from Scott AFB. Those proposals were made — and rejected — by the same group of councils that rejected the NGA move."
Slay and other proponents of the North St. Louis site — a 100-acre parcel in one of St. Louis' most crime-ridden ZIP codes — have based their arguments on the idea that NGA's presence could revitalize a blighted neighborhood, while moving NGA from St. Louis could prove economically devastating to the city, which depends heavily on the nearly $2.2 million in annual income tax revenue from current NGA workers who live outside the city.
Wynne acknowledged that NGA West could play an important economic development role, no matter where it lands.
"I would say this, clearly, you can't leave the cities to go into decay so you got to figure out how do I sort of do everything I can to allow their survival from a government perspective?" Wynne said. "At the same time you need to ask yourself, 'I need to retain as much as I can of the technical support staff, which is the heart beat of NGA.' So those two arguments are probably being robustly discussed."
State and county officials are convinced the St. Clair County site has big, even overwhelming advantages over the proposed North St. Louis site when it comes to serving the needs of NGA. The 100-acre North St. Louis suffers from some major drawbacks, not least of which is the fact that nearly half of the parcels are still controlled by businessman Paul McKee, while many other parcels would have to acquired through eminent domain to enable the city to gain control of them.
St. Clair County officials are quick to note that while the cost to U.S. taxpayers to acquire the 382-acre county size will be zero, the cost of acquiring the North St. Louis site will add up to at least $130 million — that is, if all the necessary parcels can be acquired by the city by the 2017 deadline.
What's more, the U.S. Transportation Command, based at Scott, is already a major NGA customer, and moving NGA to the St. Clair County site would provide major cost savings and a big boost in security — arguments county leaders are making today, echoing the exact same arguments the BRAC infrastructure panel made in 2005 in pushing for NGA's relocation to Scott.
But worries are arising on the Illinois side of the river that backroom political deal-making will prevail over logic and commonsense, and that in the end the federal government will use the power of tax dollars to revive the struggling St. Louis neighborhood that Missouri officials favor.
To help ease these worries, U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, nearly two weeks ago sent a letter to Cardillo, NGA's director and a friend of Kirk's, urging Cardillo to consider "three unrivaled strengths" about the St. Clair County site as a new home for the top-secret spy agency, which specializes in generating defense and intelligence maps based on classified satellite imagery.
Moving the NGA campus from its current location near downtown St. Louis to Scott would "eliminate the vulnerabilities" associated with the 20-mile data connection that exists between Scott, the home of the Defense Information Systems Agency, or DISA, and the current NGA site, Kirk wrote in the Nov. 10 letter.
To underscore his arguments for St. Clair County, and against the proposed North St. Louis site, Kirk attached to his letter to Cardillo a memo that highlighted Kirk's "concerns that could harm NGA if it located to St. Louis."
These concerns include: The difficulty of securing 100 acres for the North St. Louis site because of eminent domain issues; the lack of local political consensus over the North St. Louis venue; the need to connect NGA to DISA via 20-mile fiber-optic line that crosses the Mississippi River; and St. Clair County's willingness to donate the 182 acres worth $5.5 million to secure that site.
Crane, the Mayor Slay spokeswoman, dismissed the idea that in view of top military planners' 2005 recommendation to move NGA West to Scott, that the current four-way competition is for show and a way of mollifying Missouri lawmakers, and that the outcome has already been pre-ordained.
NGA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — which is overseeing the site selection process — "have clearly stated that any of the four sites selected would allow NGA to carry out its mission and support national security, otherwise they would not have selected them," Crane wrote. "From the NGA's own strategic plan goal: 'Embrace the open geospatial community: engage, contribute to and leverage the vibrancy of the public space.' The City of St. Louis site provides the NGA the best opportunity to do just that."
Don Kerr, a NGA spokesman, denied any decision has been made regarding NGA West's new home.
"NGA has made no decisions at this time regarding choosing a location for the future campus of the agency – pre-determined or otherwise," Kerr said. "We are carefully reviewing all relevant data and public input before making a decision, including the findings of the environmental analysis, as well as economic, technical, security and other factors before deciding on the location that best meets our needs and requirements."

Accented Paradiddles
Accented Paradiddles are some of my favourite exercises to play for improving stick control and technique. The paradiddle is a versatile rudiment that has many applications on the kit. Having the technique to accent the different notes that make up the paradiddle will give you the ability to play a ton of cool grooves, fills and a world of options when it comes to soloing. That makes them well worth practicing!
To start off, practice exercises i-iv on a pad or snare at a slow tempo to a metronome.
Once you can play i-iv comfortably, try moving the accented notes around the toms whilst keeping the unaccented notes on the snare at a low volume.
Next, try switching between the different patterns. For example, play exercise 'i' four times before moving straight to 'ii' without stopping, then to 'iii' etc. This a great way to become more familiar with each pattern. It also involves a bit of mental gymnastics to make sure your sticks are in the right position for each stroke!
1A - 4C involve different combinations of i-iv. In 1A-C beat 1 changes, in 2A-C, beat 2 changes, etc — You get the idea! These are great exercises for the pad and kit. Once mastered you can develop it further by combining the different exercises to form more complex phrases.
Try applying these ideas to a different rudiment or sticking pattern, such as the reverse paradiddle (RRLR LLRL).

In this Linux How to's tutorial we will install and configure the latest version of phpMyAdmin 4.4.9 to handle the database administration of MySQL, MariaDB and Drizzle servers over the web. It's the best web based administration tool mainly for the beginner's and for those who don't feels comfortable with the command line administration. Its written in php so provides the intuitive web interface and supports most of the MySQL features to create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add columns, execute any SQL statement and to manage indexes on columns.
Base Environment
We are going to install phpMyAdmin version 4.4.9 on the basic environment of Linux operating system with Nginx web server using MySQL's Maria DB database and PHP. So, before starting the installation and configurations of phpMyAdmin make sure that you had already setup the LEMP Stack.
LEMP Stack Status
Check the status of Prerequisites that their services are enabled and running as we are going to install phpMyAdmin 4.4.9 under the following LEMP stack environment.
[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
[[email protected] ~]# nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.8.0
MySQL MariaDB
[[email protected] ~]# mysql -V
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.41-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
[[email protected] html]# php-fpm -v
PHP 5.4.16 (fpm-fcgi) (built: Oct 31 2014 13:01:14)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies
Start phpMyAdmin 4.4.9 Installation:
After we had confirmed that our basic environment to setup phpMyAdmin installation is fine, let's proceed with the following steps to setup phpMyAdmin.
STEP 1: Download phpMyAdmin 4.4.9 Package
Many operating systems already includes with its package but unfortunately in CentOs 7.1 its not available by default in its repositories. So we can install it with two different methods, one is to enable the EPEL repository first and then install it using following YUM commands.
[[email protected] ~]#yum install epel-release
[[email protected] ~]#yum install phpmyadmin
The second method is to download the latest release from its official web link.
So, we will follow the second method to download the latest release of phpMyAdmin 4.4.9 in tar.gz package.
[[email protected] tmp]# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/4.4.9/phpMyAdmin-4.4.9-all-languages.tar.gz
STEP 2: Extract phpMyAdmin 4.4.9 Package
We will extract this .tar.gz package into the document root directory of Nginx to create its virtual host after that.
[[email protected] tmp]# tar zxvf phpMyAdmin-4.4.9-all-languages.tar.gz –C /usr/share/nginx/html/
[[email protected] tmp]# ls /usr/share/nginx/html/
Now change its name to a user friendly name with MV command. Let's move html directory first and change its name as.
[[email protected] tmp]# cd /usr/share/nginx/html/
[[email protected] html]# vm phpMyAdmin-4.4.9-all-languages phpMyAdmin
[[email protected] html]#ls
[[email protected] html]#phpMyAdmin
STEP 3: Configure phpMyAdmin Virtual Host
In order to access phpMyAdmin over the web we need to configure its virtual host. Create an new file within the default configuration directory of Nginx.
[[email protected] ~]# cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/
[[email protected] conf.d]# touch vitual.conf
[[email protected] conf.d]# vim virtual.conf
server {
server_name 172.25.10.177;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/;
location / {
index index.html index.htm index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/share/nginx/html/$fastcgi_script_name;
Web Configurations of phpMyAdmin
Before we go to web access of phpMyAdmin, open its document root directory and rename or copy its configuration file to configure it as per requirements.
[[email protected] html]# cd /usr/share/nginx/html/phpMyAdmin/
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]# cp config.sample.inc.php config.inc.php
Now we can access the phpMyAdmin Web Administration console after restart of Nginx and php-fpm services with following commands.
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]# systemctl restart nginx.service
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]# systemctl restart php-fpm.service
after getting services active status we are now ready to open our web browser to access phpMyAdmin Web Console and login with the root credentials of our MySQL Maria-DB Server.
phpMyAdmin Missing Configurations
There are few missing configurations on the home page of phpMyAdmin Administration panel that we need to configure by making changes to the configuration file of phpMyAdmin. Let's follow the two steps to complete these two missing configurations.
STEP 1: Add blowfish_secret passphrase
If you see the following error message at the bottom of your phpMyAdmin home page after your first login, then its means its missing Blowfish passowrd.
To figure out this problem just Open the configurations file of phpMyAdmin and add the encrypted password in front of blowfish_secret.
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]# vim config.inc.php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '5v}wtr0gDKnqOSDd8}nwzuoksuszpZNdLI-}2KE~n'; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */
STEP 2: Enabling Configuration Storage
This configuration is optional and should be disappeared after a refresh of page.
To recover from this error message we will uncomment below lines from the phpmyAdmin configurations file as set the control username and password.
Creating phpMyAdmin database and user
According to above configurations now we will create a controluser and then import the database from the document root of phpMyAdmin using following commands.
To Create User
MariaDB [(none)]> create user 'pma'@'localhost' identified by 'pma123';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
MariaDB [(none)]> exit
To Import database
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]# mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/nginx/html/phpMyAdmin/sql/create_tables.sql
Enter password:
Grant Privileges to Control User
To take advantage of the relational features and other bookmark, we will need to give pma control user with some additional permissions as shown.
Restart Services
We had done with all the setup and configurations of phpMyAdmin now to impliment these changes we have to restart nginx, mariadb and php-fpm services.
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]#systemctl restart mariadb.service
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]#systemctl restart nginx.service
[[email protected] phpMyAdmin]#systemctl restart php-fpm.service
Now logout from the previous session and refresh your web browser or open it in new window with same following URL. The error messages at the bottom of the main screen should now gone away.
Ready to go with phpMyAdmin Bringing MySQL to the web
We had successfully installed and configured phpMyAdmin with all security parameters to an awesome open source tool for the administration of databases. Its so helpful for the newbies and for the professional as it also provide us with its console option to execute queries. So, get ready to setup your own phpMyAdmin environment and feel free to comment us back.

You've added the level file for "Mind the Gap!" in the replay pack, not the replay.(Also, why is "Loving the Chaos" the only level with a talisman?)
For a while the NL styles had bugged copies of the Basement and Bridge sets (Garden was unaffected). Redownloading the NeoLemmix styles should fix this.With that being said, the Lemmings Plus VI musics need to be in a folder "Lemmings_Plus_VI" inside the music folder; not in the base music folder themself. The music download ZIP does not correctly reflect this.I've solved the first three of Nessy's levels.A Shortcut Through Downtown (click to show/hide)The main difficulty was figuring out how to control the crowd at the start. I did look at several other possible routes, but only because at first I didn't realise this one was feasible.Crossover (click to show/hide)I remember having a lot of difficulty trying to solve this level (and might even have given up on it, not sure) in the past, but I actually solved it pretty quickly this time. A nice level.Flaming Hallway (click to show/hide)This one too, I remember having difficulty with, but unlike Crossover, this one gave me a lot of trouble this time too. I did solve it in the end, though - and I'm very impressed with the solution. Simple, yet extremely well hidden.
