Candra Parker understands the importance of scholarships. "With six children in our family, affording college was questionable for me," she says. "My father went to the University of Virginia on my behalf in 1979, and the university provided me with a tuition-assisted scholarship."
Since 2010, Parker has served as area development director for the United Negro College Fund's Richmond office. Established in 1944, the UNCF stands by its original slogan: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Through its efforts, the organization has helped put almost 50,000 minds to good use by providing about $615 million in scholarships.
Marcus Smith, a senior from Plainfield, Ill., studying finance and banking at Virginia Union University, credits the UNCF for his ability to stay in college during the last four years. After receiving a VUU presidential scholarship his first year, Smith took advanced honors courses, and his grade point average dipped to 3.49, causing him to lose the scholarship. During his sophomore, junior and senior years, he has received multiple scholarships through UNCF, including emergency aid and a Robert Dole Scholarship for disabled students. (Smith is legally blind in one eye.) He was on his own for room and board, and books, which he paid for by working part-time jobs at Walmart and Movieland, and by tutoring other students in math and business.(Richmond Magazine)

Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Tacos
Recipe by Annacia
These breakfast tacos are only as spicy as the chorizo and salsa that you choose but they definitely pack flavor.
Top Review by Andi of Longmeadow
A busy Saturday morning in early February promised to be sunny, but very, very busy. I had chosen this recipe from *PRMR* and I was so glad I did. Not only was this easy, with all ingredients on hand....I was able to whip this right up and feed all the hungry friends we had gathered around the breakfast table. I followed this exactly~although I used yellow cheddar cheese instead of white. I had never just put the tortilla *right on* the stove burner. What a glorious idea! That warmed and charred the tortilla perfectly as well as completely melting the cheese into gooey goodness. I also added a bit of green onion to the top of the cheese while it was melting and this kinda of all melted together to the best tasting tortilla I have ever had! This is a wonderful change to the same old egg wrap, one that promises to make our table quite often. Thank you so much Annacia!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 corn tortillas
- 1 cup grated extra-sharp white cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 7 ounces fresh chorizo sausage, casing removed if necessary
- 4 green onions, sliced
- sour cream (optional)
- hot sauce (optional) or salsa (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Brush large nonstick skillet with olive or vegetable oil. Char tortillas over gas flame or directly on electric burner until blackened in spots, turning with tongs. Arrange tortillas in single layer in skillet. Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup grated cheese and set aside.
- Whisk eggs and 2 tablespoons cilantro in medium bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté chorizo sausage in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Add green onions and sauté 2 minutes.
- Add egg mixture and stir until very softly set, about 1 minute.
- Remove egg mixture from heat.
- Cook tortillas in skillet over high heat until beginning to crisp on bottom, but still soft and pliable, about 1 minute. Divide egg mixture among tortillas and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Fold each tortilla in half.
- Serve with sour cream and hot sauce, if desired.

Do you consign old stuff? I haven't done it in a long time, but we are moving and I don't have the time to list each individual item for sale and then ship/meet up with people so I took a ton of stuff to the consignment shop. I think they must have changed their policies - I was shocked at how much they gave me for what they were interested in taking! Now to just drop the rest off at Goodwill!!
No, I never have. It never seemed worth it and the shops I looked into took more than I wanted them to!

So funny! OUAC is where I was today. I haven't been in probably a year or more and I felt like they were giving me a ton more than they used to!
no , but i should
I never have. I've thought about it but figured I wouldn't get what I wanted out of my stuff. Is it worth the hastel?

The prevalence of intramammary infections (IMI) and subclinical mastitis (SCM) in 436 German Holstein heifers was put in relation with clinical findings of the udder and data regarding individual rearing and housing conditions of the animals. The clinical examination took place on the day of the livestock auction (at approximately 41 d in milk, DIM). On that day, 31% of the heifers had IMI in at least one quarter, and 18% of all quarters were infected. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most prevalent bacteria isolated, accounting for 68% of the positive samples. Data were analysed by logistic regression. Criteria such as 'juvenile intersucking', 'teats shorter than 35 mm', 'teats with a diameter <18 mm' and 'udder oedema at the day of the auction' were associated with IMI in heifers during the first 41 DIM. Loose-housing systems during pregnancy (as opposed to tie-stalls), juvenile intersucking, clinical mastitis during the first week after calving, teat diameters <18 mm, and employing organic bedding material in the stables before calving were associated with subclinical mastitis. © Proprietors of Journal of Dairy Research 2012.

Despite well-known positive aspects of conservation tillage combined with mulching on arable fields, one drawback may be the survival of phytopathogenic fungi on plant residues. Therefore, plant pathogen repression is an important ecosystem service to prevent cultivated plants from fungal diseases and mycotoxin contamination. A microcosm-study was conducted under constant laboratory conditions to assess the impact of soil microfauna (Aphelenchoides saprophilus, Nematoda) and soil mesofauna (Folsomia candida, Collembola) on soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi (Fusarium culmorum) and its mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). Our hypotheses were: (1) nematodes and collembolans reduce the biomass of F. culmorum and the content of DON in infected wheat straw; (2) the species interaction of A. saprophilus and F. candida enhances the degradation of Fusarium biomass and DON concentration in wheat straw; (3) the degradation efficiency of nematodes and collembolans is affected by soil texture. Therefore, microcosms were filled with soil of different texture and finely chopped wheat straw (Fusarium-infected vs. non-infected). The microcosms were inoculated with the two species in different combinations (single and mixed species, non-faunal control). After 2 and 4 weeks of incubation, the individual densities in all soil faunal treatments increased with highest individual numbers in the non-infected treatments in case of collembolans and in the infected treatments in case of nematodes. The Fusarium biomass (Fusarium protein equivalents = FPE) of all infected treatments decreased by at least one order of magnitude after 2 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks Fusarium-biomass was reduced by 93% in sandy and silt loam and 89% in clay loam mostly in mixed species treatments. Also DON concentrations were reduced significantly compared to the initial concentration in all treatments after 4 weeks. The highest reduction was found in mixed species treatments, where DON was degraded by 92%, 95% and 39% for sandy loam, silt loam and clay loam, respectively. We concluded that particularly interacting collembolans and nematodes play an important role in plant pathogen repression and mycotoxin degradation. In any case, soil texture matters in the provision of these ecosystem services by collembolans and nematodes. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Mycotoxin Research | Year: 2011
In arable fields managed by conservation tillage combined with crop residue mulching, plant pathogen repression is an important ecosystem service to prevent cultivated plants from fungal diseases and mycotoxin contamination. A laboratory microcosm study was conducted to investigate the contribution of the endogeic, geophagous earthworm species Aporrectodea caliginosa as a secondary decomposer to the reduction of the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium culmorum and its mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat straw residues. After 5 weeks experimental time, the Fusarium biomass and the DON concentration in aboveground straw were reduced considerably to the same extent both in presence and absence of A. caliginosa. Another substantial reduction of Fusarium biomass and DON concentration was found in belowground straw, which A. caliginosa had buried into the soil. Thus, we conclude that the particular contribution of secondary decomposers like A. caliginosa to the degradation of phytopathogenic fungi like Fusarium species and their mycotoxins like DON in the soil systems has to be assessed as minor. © Society for Mycotoxin Research and Springer 2011.

BBCH [Biologische Bundesanstalt (Julius Kühn-Institut), Bundessortenamt, CHemische Industrie] scales are used in applied natural sciences for the description of phenological growth stages of plants and are available for many crops today. Currently, a specific BBCH scale for Asparagus officinalis, a perennial vegetable plant of worldwide interest, does not exist. In this study, an extended BBCH scale was developed, describing precisely the growth stages of A. officinalis. Nine principal growth stages were defined and subdivided into several secondary growth stages resulting in a two-digit decimal code. Detailed descriptions of the particular stages and illustrations were included to clarify the application of the code system. The scale is proposed to specify and harmonise research activities as well as to enhance comparability of crop management practices for growers of asparagus. © 2012 Association of Applied Biologists.

A field experiment was conducted to elucidate ecosystem services provided by earthworms on the repression of phytopathogenic and toxinogenic fungi. The study focussed on decomposing Fusarium culmorum-infected and deoxynivalenol (DON)-contaminated wheat straw remaining on the soil surface as part in conservation tillage. Mesocosms were established in the topsoil of a winter wheat field located in Northern Germany, where conservation tillage has been practised for 20 years. Besides a non-earthworm treatment, two earthworm species were inoculated in the mesocosms either separately or combined: Lumbricus terrestris (anecic, detritivorous) and Aporrectodea caliginosa (endogeic, geophagous). The earthworms were exposed either to artificially Fusarium-infected wheat straw highly contaminated with DON or to non-infected straw serving as a control. The experiment was conducted during an eight week period after harvest from mid August to mid October. For both species, the artificially Fusarium-infected and DON-contaminated wheat straw was a more attractive food source than the non-infected control. In contrast to A. caliginosa, L. terrestris incorporated infected straw faster into the soil compared to control straw. Furthermore, the reduction of Fusarium biomass and DON concentration in wheat straw was significantly higher in the presence of L. terrestris than in treatments with A. caliginosa and without earthworms. Here, no significant differences could be measured between the Fusarium biomass and DON concentration in wheat straw. A. caliginosa seems not to be relevant for the reduction of Fusarium biomass and DON concentration. We concluded that amongst earthworms, anecic detritivorous species are the drivers to compensate possible negative consequences (like crop infection) of conservation tillage. They take an important role in the control of phytopathogenic and toxinogenic fungi surviving on plant residues and in the degradation of their mycotoxins. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The present analysis compares the estimated breeding values (EBVs), relative breeding values (RBVs), and daughter yield deviations (YDs) of cows with exceptional longevity with their contemporary herdmates. In addition, the relative breeding values of their sires were compared among these two daughter groups; the RBVs of the sires were also compared with the proportion of their daughters with exceptional longevity. Data included 5037 sires born between 1963 and 1996 with a total of 61 988 daughter; of these sires, 486 had sired daughters that completed more than nine lactations (exceptional cows) and 4957 sires had sired the contemporary herdmates. Exceptional cows had on average significantly lower EBVs for milk yield, fat and protein yield, and significantly lower YDs for milk and protein yield in the first three lactations, significantly lower RBVs for milk production and type but significantly higher RBVs for somatic cell score and functional longevity. The sires of exceptional cows had significantly higher RBVs for somatic cell count (RZS), functional longevity (RZN), and fitness (RZFit) in comparison to the sires of contemporary herdmates. Correlations among the proportion of exceptional cows per sire and RZN, RZS as well as RZFit were positive, whereas milk production (RZM) showed a negative correlation. An increase in the number of cows with exceptional longevity may be possible through a relative total breeding value with high positive weights for RZN, RZS, and RZFit but negative weights for RZM and type (RZE). © Author(s) 2016.

Information on the environmental impact of maize production is actually inconsistent. Indeed some experiments report good nitrogen (N) efficiencies and small residual N. Other experiments show large leaching losses, while in practice maize production is often coupled with an intensive production and large N surpluses. Here, we present data from a 4-year experiment with silage maize on a sandy soil of high mineralization potential. The experimental set-up included three N input forms, mineral, cattle and pig slurry and four rates of total N, of 0, 80, 160 and 240 kg N ha-1 year-1 and the use of suction cups. Results show that dry matter and N yields for N0-N240 were relatively high and consistent (158-192 kg N ha-1). Further findings show large residual soil mineral nitrogen, of 138-237 kg Nha-1, and high nitrate concentrations in leaching water during winter, of 39-73 mg NO 3-N L-1, corresponding to leaching losses of 86-152 kg N ha-1. Response to N input was small with apparent N recoveries of 14-22% for manures and mineral fertilizers. We conclude that caution is needed when maize production is extended to fields with an apparently high potential for mineralization and that use as grassland would be a better alternative with regard to N leaching losses. © INRA and Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011.

The return of slurry is the most important means of fertilization in grassland dairy farming. Broadcast application of slurry induces air pollution by ammonia. Alternatives to broadcast application like sliding shoe or injection have therefore been introduced. These alternatives might, however, cause higher N losses by nitrate leaching because N prevented from volatilization may not completely be utilized for dry matter production. Information on the interactive effects of amount of N input and slurry application technique on nitrate leaching from productive organic–sandy soils are still scarce. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that slurry application by sliding shoe or injection leads to larger NO3-N losses via leaching than broadcast application. In a 4-year experiment on cut grassland, we applied N at 0, 160, 240, and 320 kg ha−1 year−1 using four application techniques: in the form of a chemical-synthetic N fertilizer or as cattle slurry applied broadcast, by sliding shoe or shallow injection. We assessed nitrate leaching during winter using suction cups. Additionally, we determined herbage dry matter yields, N offtake, and soil mineral N content to compile N balances for the individual treatments based on these data. Our results show that nitrate leaching during winter did not differ significantly among treatments of N application technique. Nitrate leaching increased significantly with increasing amount of N input, but was on average lower than 16.5 kg N ha−1 for application rates of up to 320 kg N ha−1. Soil mineral N content in autumn was a reasonably good predictor for nitrate leaching, with R2 of 0.65. The proportion of nitrate leaching of positive N surpluses increased in the order broadcast, sliding shoe, injection, and chemical-synthetic N application. Our findings demonstrate that the amount of N input but not the technique of application results in a significant effect on nitrate leaching. © 2014, INRA and Springer-Verlag France.

Relatively little is known about potassium leaching losses following harvest of silage maize. While direct negative impacts on the environment are unlikely, losses of K with leaching need to be known for accurate balancing, especially on coarse textured soils, where K can be a critical element. In a four-year field experiment the effects of fertilizer forms (inorganic, cattle slurry and pig slurry) and four levels of N input (0, 80, 160, 240 kg N/ha) with corresponding amounts of K on the nutrient balances and leaching of K from silage maize grown on a sandy soil were investigated using suction cups. After four years, surplus of K from cattle slurry led to higher lactate-soluble K in the topsoil. Potassium leaching differed between years with different amounts of rainfall during winter. Annual leaching losses of K increased with N and K input and amounted to 38 kg K/ha, while fertilizer form had no significant effect. Losses of K increased with increasing N leaching (R2 = 0.69). We conclude that in maize production on coarse textured soils and under conditions of high N leaching (86-152 kg N/ha), K leaching can be large (6-84 kg K/ha) and constitutes a relevant part of K balances (-84 to +127 kg K/ha).

What do you thinks looks best black gloss rims or silver rims on a black s3
Tony add poll to your thread. x
Anthracite like ive got on my black s3.
Depends on what colour your wing mirrors and grill are?
Black grill and silver wing mirrors
Make the mirrors black and the wheels silver.
Black wheels always look small and ****.
I'm liking Matt Black at the minute, doesnt look as cheap but thats my opinion
If just one colour i would go for silver as they will look bigger.
Or depending on what rims they are you could have polished dish with gloss black centres or spokes.
I'd go with silver personally, but black will work, how abouts in between, like anthracite?
Think I'm going to go with silver, cheers for the input peeps

Heh. I guess that's one way to put it... by using a PAMified radius server we can apply PAM stacks to web authentications, which I think is way cool.

From: Littlejeffery | #083Oh yeah, I remember pricey memory cards. I actually picked up the PS2 version of Psychonauts a few days ago, right? I go to make a save file, and it takes 1.7 megs. If I didn't end up with four different cards after ten years of PS2 ownership, I'd have been PISSED. If there's one thing I don't miss about the last two gens, it's memory cards.
I stuck with 8-meg ones, they cost about $30 each which wasn't too bad (given games were $50.) Then they made those 64-meg cards, and I have no idea what those were worth. I never bothered with third-party cards because the one I ever tried - a big 10x card for PS1 - broke on me and I lost all but one memory card's worth of data.

What whole picture? That you don't like yearly releases and therefore want them eliminated despite the millions that do like them? I get the big picture that with each and every post You sound like a belligerent child that only wants to get his way and not let anyone else have theirs.
Proving my point, exactly. You want things your way and only your way, everyone else be damned, and if things don't work out exactly your way, your "mature" response it to put your fingers in your ears and post YouTube clips.
Millions of people love and play franchises like Madden and FIFA and have been playing them since shortly after you were born. But you can't accept that, so you're solution is to stop making them. How immature can you get?

TC just grow up & get over it
These two sentences contradict each other
cavebear56 4 years ago#96
1.) I've found plenty of games this generation that were fun and not overly realistic. The thing is though you need to spread the love across multiple platforms and step out of your comfort zone of what kinds of games you play.
2.) Games used to be more expensive in the past, could they stand to be cheaper? Sure but honestly a little bit of patience for that inevitable sale will remove the argument of expensive games. Really I feel the valid point here is the price for DD games on consoles should be priced more accordingly.
3.) DLC has been done right and it has been done wrong but bad experiences seem to carry farther with people than good one's. I've enjoyed all the New Vegas DLC (purchased on sale of course). Where as I feel skins and weapon packs need to be cheaper or eventually patched in as unlockables.
4.) Don't disagree here. This I feel is DLC done wrong.
5.) It doesn't bother me as I'm not interested in military shooters or popularity contests. I enjoy some FPS games and not others, just like I enjoy some RPGs and not others. Just because Skyrim/FF XIII exists doesn't mean the entire RPG genre is worse for it and thus all Tales of games are now "generic RPGs". Stop creating an "us vs. them" mentality, learn to appreciate multiple genres and how about sticking to what you like?
6.) Same as 5.
This gen, like previous gens, focused on a different genre. That's what happens with gaming cycles. Either you expand your preferences and drop sticking to only one brand or you just have to man up and tough it out.
Either way TC.
If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.

Because they aren't interested in debating the topic with you. They have already made up their minds. They want to preach, and to beat everyone over the head with their opinion until you think like they do.

The rise and rise of the Muslim Brothers
Last April, the Prime Minister ordered a review into the Muslim Brotherhood here in Britain. It's not before time.
Documents uncovered by US law enforcement agents in 2004 showed that the Brotherhood had planned to launch a stealthy "kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilisation from within… so that… God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
One document earmarked 29 Islamic organisations to help the Brotherhood "expand the observant Muslim base" as a first step to this fantastical goal, including funding Hamas.
The US authorities broke up the plot. There is, however, compelling evidence that the American blueprint was partially replicated here. Unlike the Americans, the British authorities seem just to have shrugged their shoulders.
Now Mr Cameron wants to know what "wider influence" the Brotherhood has had "on UK society" and the history of its involvement here.
Tower Hamlets has begun to look more like Riyadh than the secular Bangladeshi capital, Dacca
The Brotherhood as an organisation was founded in Egypt in 1928 with the slogan: "The Quran is our constitution. The Prophet is our leader. Jihad is our way. Death for the sake of Allah is our greatest wish."
Since then, the organisation has morphed into a wider, fragmented movement across much of the globe, including Britain.
As preposterous as the Brotherhood's "grand jihad" might seem, it has been echoed by the movement's ageing, de facto spiritual leader, Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Europe's destiny, he says, is to be conquered by Islam, "not by the sword" but by peaceful proselytising.
The more pertinent question is: what has been the impact of the Brotherhood movement's attempt to "expand the observant Muslim base" here in Britain to mainstream efforts to create a meaningful common life between Muslims and non-Muslims?
The immediate trigger for the Cameron review was the escape to London of Brotherhood leaders from Cairo after the military overthrew Egypt's first democratically elected Brotherhood government. The Egyptian government has said the Brotherhood there have links to gunmen who have shot policemen.
The Brotherhood emphatically denies this, insisting they are committed to democracy.
For many, the Brotherhood remains a conundrum: how can their commitment be reconciled with their version of Islam which makes no distinction between Islam as a spiritual faith and a political ideology?
Some say that, because Tunisia's elected Brotherhood government peacefully ceded power to a secular caretaker government, democratic shoots can grow from the Arab Spring.
Sceptics counter that the Brotherhood plays a long game and that their leading ideologues still believe the world is ultimately destined to be reorganised around Islam, with the Quran as the sole basis for government and law.
The Cameron review will also examine the south Asian cousin of the Brotherhood Movement - the Islamist Jamaat e Islami, which enjoys greater support among British Muslims than its Arab equivalent. Though untainted by the 2004 plot, the Jamaat was created by an Indian theologian Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi, who wrote that Muslims were obliged to establish the sovereignty of God on earth.
It is generally accepted that Maududists founded the UK Islamic Mission (UKIM) in 1962. Today the Oldham-based UKIM still says it is a social and political "ideological movement" which exists to "mould the entire human life according to Allah's revealed Guidance."
However, UKIM's claims that all this is aimed at promoting "harmony in society and the entire world" were undermined in 2007 when a Channel 4 investigation showed the UKIM hosting extremist preachers. One was recorded as urging Muslims to "help us win the fight against the Kuffar [unbelievers]… in every department of life". Another said Muslims in Britain had to "live like a state within a state" and continue to preach "until you become such a force that the people they just submit to you, hands up, until you become strong enough to take over".
Although Jamaat e Islami-inspired organisations control just three per cent of mosques, a government-published report has said that the "JI helped to create and subsequently dominate the leadership" of the organisation that describes itself as the "national representative" of Britain's very diverse Muslims - the Muslim Council of Britain.
In parts of Britain, there are signs of a growing religious conservatism among the rapidly growing Muslim population, who appear increasingly resistant to assimilate into the majority culture, as most other migrants have over time.
Neither the MCB nor UKIM seems concerned that treating more and more citizens on the basis of their faith rather than common citizenship might be a significant obstacle to creating a society which is genuinely cohesive.
It is true that, on some cultural differences like female genital mutilation, sexual grooming, and forced marriage, the MCB has spoken out. But they have tended to follow the debate - not lead it.
Their boycott of Holocaust Memorial Day also burned bridges built up with the Jewish community over decades.
In 2007, the MCB tried to inject a conservative version of Islam into state education with a list of multiple requirements. Some were introduced in Birmingham state schools, recently adjudged by Ofsted to have so narrowed the curriculum and exposure of their Muslim pupils to other cultures and faiths that they were being badly prepared for life in modern Britain.
Under the influence of the Jamaat's Bangladeshi branch, Tower Hamlets, the London borough which is home to 80,000 Britons of Bangladeshi heritage, has changed profoundly over the last three decades.
With ever more women covered with full-faced veils, Tower Hamlets has begun to look more like the Saudi capital, Riyadh, than Dacca, the relatively secular capital of Bangladesh.
The Jamaat dominate the influential East London Mosque, and while it has contributed to useful social welfare programmes, judging by some speakers to whom the mosque still gives platforms, its definition of extremism still conflicts with the one used by the government's Prevent strategy, challenging the ideological narrative of terrorism.
The Brotherhood movement's Arab wing in the UK controls even fewer mosques than the Jamaat. Although both have promoted Islamist ideology, the principal focus of the Arab Brothers has been Hamas.
They have established a powerful and active Hamas support network, which has its origins with the arrival in Manchester of radicalised Palestinian students in 1979.
Hamas supremo Khaled Mishaal says they were the "first pillars of Hamas", building up support "on the outside" for its official launch in 1987.
Student branches were also established in Europe, the Gulf and America. Called the Islamic Association of Palestinian Youth, the then functioning British branch was among the most active, and like the others, part of what a seminal Hamas memorandum has described as the "Hamas Project".
Charities were listed as integral to this "Jihadi [struggle] project" to replace Israel with an Islamic state, by providing food, medical care and education to generate loyalty and support for "the [Hamas] Movement" to keep "the flame of Jihad alight.."
Funds for Hamas's welfare network were sent from charities in Britain and America established and run by members of the International Muslim Brotherhood's "Palestine Section" whose job was to oversee the "Hamas Project."
From a north London flat, they also ran a monthly glossy magazine, Fillisteen al Muslimah [Muslim Palestine] which published heroic photographs of suicide-belted martyrs.
Within days of 9/11, the British authorities were eyeing up the Brothers as "credible" non-violent extremist partners against the violent extremism of Al Qaeda - a role the Brothers relished. Playing gatekeeper to Britain's Muslims has been a key Brotherhood aim.
An early approach came from MI5 when two officers gingerly knocked on the door at Fillisteen al Muslimah to ask if they might possibly come in for a chat.
Struggling to suppress their guffaws, through the door the Hamasniks told them to come back after they had made an appointment.
The Blair government soon realised that relying on the Brothers as interlocutors in the battle against violent extremism was double-edged.
While the Brothers condemned terrorist outrages like 7/7 here at home, as David Goodhart, director of the Demos think tank, says, their own beliefs were often a "non-violent version" of the violent version: "religiously-inspired hostility to foreign policy, ambivalence about Western liberalism, and a paranoid belief in state sanctioned Islamophobia."
The false but inflammatory grievance narrative that Britain has been fighting a global war directed against Islam has also been reinforced by "Islam Channel", the most popular Islamic satellite TV station in Britain today.
Between programmes, Muslims are reminded again and again that the channel gives a "voice to the voiceless… a voice to the oppressed."
By helping to promote an extreme world view that the West has been engaged in a conspiracy against Muslims, the Brotherhood has helped keep young British Muslims angry - and somewhat separate.
Some Hamas fugitives have been given sanctuary here from Israel only to repay Britain by using it as a base to work against British foreign policy on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and especially the Israel-Palestine conflict with regular trips to actively assist Hamas leaders undermine the - admittedly vanishing - prospects of a two-state solution.
So far, it is hard to see what material contribution the Brotherhood movement has made to creating the harmonious and cohesive society they say they want. They do, of course. But on what terms?

A Medium's Journey—Accepting and Embracing My Spiritual Gifts.
In Born Knowing, psychic medium John Holland explains in his open and candid way how he dealt with his conflict by coming to terms, and finally accepting, his rare ability as a spirit messenger who helps people connect with those who have passed on. Born in the tough suburbs of Boston, John coped with a difficult childhood, where he was ridiculed by his family and society, leaving him feeling isolated because of his psychic abilities. He refused to acknowledge his gift until a near-fatal automobile accident amplified his skills to the point that he had to learn how to control what was once pushed away.
Throughout the book, John presents real-life case studies where he discusses his readings with clients, the effect on their lives, and the sense of closure people feel, knowing that their loved ones who have passed on are still with them. The book will also help you discover and develop your own psychic and intuitive abilities, recognize signals from the Other Side, and make spiritual connections for yourself.

I loved this book! I attended a hay house event and John signed my book! At the time, I had not read it yet. If you are a fan of John's this is a perfect book to understand his life and how he realized he had a gift. This book did provide a wealth of information on the beginning of John's intuition and mediumship.

EL SEGUNDO – Pau Gasol went through a light practice Saturday but still has pain in his ankle. He said he is doubtful for Sunday's game.
"It's still pretty sore," he said. "I don't know. It's still doubtful. We'll see how it feels tomorrow. Hopefully it will get better tomorrow."
Gasol did half-court work and ran in a straight line. He is still unable to turn and do other basketball moves without pain.
He will see how it responds Sunday. The Lakers next game thereafter is Wednesday against Portland.
Gasol sprained his ankle March 14.

The transition from Primary School to Secondary is one of the major steps our children take during the course of their education.
The Cotswold School serves a large, rural area of some 40 parishes and the school draws the majority of its pupils from 14 primary schools which range in size from 30 to 300 pupils, although a rapidly increasing number of out of catchment families are exercising the right under `open enrolment' to a place at the school .
We recognise the crucial importance of making the transition from primary to secondary schooling as smooth and easy as possible. For example, new Year 7 students enjoy two full taster days in the July preceding entry in September. Furthermore, for those Year 7 pupils who are joining us on their own – that is, without any other classmates from their primary school – we offer an additional taster day to help ease their transition.
Come September, new Year 7 pupils are provided with buddies to guide them around the school, encouraging them to find their way. Early in the new school year, the entire Year 7 cohort go away on a residential trip to further build confidence and friendships. It is a delight to see how quickly our Year 7 pupils make friends, grown in confidence and meet the challenges of secondary school.
The Cotswold School enjoys excellent links with our primary schools. Various activities take place to help to maintain these important links. Local primary schools are often hosted at The Cotswold School for a variety of events as well as after-school clubs. Others have attended lessons on anatomy in our Biology labs, taken part in gymnastics workshops and competed in maths challenges. Yet more have built robot cars, played sport, created works of art, cooked, designed logos in IT and created T-shirts with their logos in the Textiles department. Meanwhile, our teachers also visit local primary schools to share best-practice in Teaching and Learning.
Each year, we invite some 200 pupils from 7 local primary schools to enjoy a spectacular day of science and design activities. It is a hugely enjoyable day and it is a wonderful way to not only inspire our future students but also for them to have a glimpse of the secondary school they may one day attend.
We are very aware that the transition from primary school to secondary is also hard on parents! The school gate discussions, so much part of the primary school years, no longer feature. Daily contact with teachers and the Principal is no longer possible. To ease this transition for parents, our school website offers extensive information regarding Homework, Who to Call, School Calendar, PE fixture, Staff contacts, the Curriculum and latest announcements can be found on the Home Page. What is more, help is only a telephone call or email away via our Contact Page.

So after I downloaded the Android 4.4 (KitKat) update for my HTC One this week it appears that HTC have pulled the update from general availability. I was curious about exactly why this was since whatever cause them to remove it has now been installed on my phone. I started a chat with HTC UK support, asking them what had caused the withdrawal:
Roman P: Dear HTC One customer,
The current release of Android 4.4 (KitKat) software has been temporarily taken off line. As HTC are committed to quality and providing the best customer experience possible we made this decision. This is temporary so please stay tuned over the next few days for a new release. We appreciate your patience
Roman P: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Gerard Krupa: You could answer the question I asked instead of pasting your script
Gerard Krupa: If there is a flaw in the firmware I've installed on my phone severe enough that it was removed from general availability I think it's only reasonable that I should be informed what serious problem it might now be suffering from
Roman P: We cannot comment anything about KitKat update. Please understand my position. I have to follow comapny (sic) policy as well.
So it seems that HTC have instructed their first line support not to provide any information on what caused the withdrawal leaving those of us who installed it while it was available with some unknown bug or security flaw infecting our devices. This certainly doesn't inspire me to give any more of my cash to the struggling handset manufacturer.

The nVidia Shield isn't officially available in the UK but there's at least one reseller on Amazon who's importing them and selling them over here for around £255. I've tried some different Android gaming solutions (the laggy Ouya with its proprietary app store and nagging e-mails, the good but somehow clunky Moga Pro and plain old touch-screen controls). nVidia's offering, to me at least, is by far the best solution to date. The Tegra 4 processor is excellent, especially in those games that are optimised for it and the device is solid feeling if a little heavy. The 720p screen is only a smidge on the small side but very crisp and bright and (here's where it wins over the Moga) adjustable to a good range of angles.
Battery life is OK though not great. If I spend my lunch hour playing Asphalt 8 and the rest of the day on standby then it will be in need of a charge by the end of the day despite that hefty weight, a good portion of which you'd imagine is due to the battery. Sound is sufficiently clear enough from the speakers though I spend most of my time with headphones connected.
If there's one serious flaw in the device I'd say it's the stability. The Tegra Zone app crashes frequently when trying to jump to a game's Google Play page and Asphalt 8 occasionally has a flaw where the car select screen gets stuck in a rapid loop of navigating to the next vehicle which is only solved by quitting the app entirely (can't say whether that's a device issue or the game but I never suffered from this when paying on the Moga and HTC One). The landscape orientation can also cause some issues such as the keyboard occupying most of the screen or on the Marvin ZX Spectrum Emulator (an app designed for portrait mode phones) having no keyboard at all. It's not really a failing of the device and portrait mode is supported but it's very awkward. If you're not familiar with Android, be warned – not all games support external controllers but the Shield has a control-mapping overlay as a sort of controller shim.
Sadly as I have a slightly outdated 580GTX video card and no Miracast device I wasn't able to test any of the Shield's display mirroring features.
The price of the device is high compared with other mobile consoles such as the PSP and Vita but the availability of (admittedly non AAA) games at relatively cheap prices (consider the £35 price of Angry Birds Trilogy on Vita vs the £2-3 Android price if you don't succumb to micro-transactions) and the quality of the hardware made it a worthwhile purchase for me.

Received the following e-mail from the Swiss e-commerce ombudsman this morning. Doesn't really help me get either the pen or a refund but at least they're taking steps to prevent further victims being scammed:
Dear Sir,We try to get in contact with unmanageable Mr Monnin by phone. If we don't success, we'll give you further advice how to go ahead and we will take ourselves steps that his homepage will be taken from the internet.

So the last deadline has passed with no pen and no more word from Monnin & co. I've now requested that the Swiss consumer ombudsman deal with the matter. I strongly recommend that everyone avoids this company. I can't help but wonder if Monnin's other company (Novatiq, a company that claims to make military robots and hasn't posted any news on their site for 2 years) is also all smoke and mirrors.

Engineer Hackers Rejuvenate DLP
11 comments post a comment
Over the last two decades, largely unbeknownst to TI, Digital Light Processing technology has gradually found its way into unintended applications -- industrial and medical included -- thanks to persistent hacking by engineers.
3D printing
Digital Light Processing is used in EnvisionTEC's Perfactory 3D printers ("Personal Factory"). The DLP-based 3D printer projects volumetric pixels into a photosensitive liquid resin, which is then cured into a solid substance. By leveraging DLP's high-resolution capabilities and light-source agnostic properties to photo-cure resins, EnvisionTEC's 3D printer is said to be ideal for reproducing jewelry, dental/earpiece molds, and toys.

Granify is the creation of Jeff Lawrence, who came up with the idea in 2006 after founding and running an advertising technology company.
He had long been fascinated by the ability to use massive amounts of data to predict the future and then change the future to a desired outcome, whether that was in capital markets, advertising or other industries. By 2006 there was a heavy focus by companies towards driving traffic to a website, while comparatively little attention was being paid to actually converting visitors once they arrived.
Jeff temporarily put the idea on hold due to high computation costs and the lack of efficient distributed data processing systems (such as Hadoop) that were required. In 2011, while at Stanford in Silicon Valley, Jeff learned about Hadoop and other big data innovations and was energized that the time may have arrived for Granify.
He formulated the plan for Granify and began pitching the concept at a venture capital BBQ in Woodside, where he was immediately told that it couldn't be done, which lit up the competitive spirit in Jeff and he incorporated Granify a month later.
After initially planning on remaining in Silicon Valley and building Granify, Jeff decided to return to Canada and see if Granify could be established in Edmonton, where the University of Alberta has a renowned data science program. After a brief stop at the Extreme Startups accelerator in Toronto in 2012 where the first version of the product was released on Shopify, Jeff returned to Edmonton to build the team after securing a $1.2 million investment.
The first office was just off Whyte Ave in Edmonton. At that time the Edmonton team consisted of Jeff, an intern and a developer working out of a storage room in the basement of the building among exercise equipment and kitchen appliances. Shortly thereafter Granify moved upstairs to a spacious 900 sq foot office and began adding team members. Eventually, more room was needed and in May 2013 we settled in our current 4,000 sq foot location in downtown Edmonton.
Our first paying customer, Asher's Chocolates, came in August 2013. The cheque can still be seen taped to the door of the Edmonton office.
By March 2015, we raised an additional $9 million CAD investment from Valar Ventures, headed by SV heavyweights Peter Thiel, James Fitzgerald, and Andrew McCormick of Thiel Capital with the mandate to build the ultimate team to create the future.
Since then we have been hiring like crazy, building up a high performing team to accelerate the company's growth and redefine the e-commerce industry. In 2015 we more than doubled our team, jumping from 19 employees to 42 - and growing.

"Rude nurses"
Posted by Anonymous
Anything else?
My Nan is currently in hospital after having a fall, she broke her hip and needed a hip replacement, me and my sisters go to all the visiting hours to see her, we found that everytime the nurses were very rude and had no time for the patients instead they rather sit at reception desk chatting, whilst patients called them several times. On some occasions me and my sisters would help the other patients on the wards if they needed a drink or couldn't reach something.
We was not told anything about the operation my nan had and how long she would be in hospital for, when we asked the nurse she was very rude and told us to speak to another nurse, four nurses later we still had no information.
My nan lives on her own and i live far away so have been doing long travels to see her, we just like more information so we can arrange to move furniture downstairs and get everything into place before she comes home.
out of all the nurses there was only one nurse that was respectable to us and the pateients and was lovely to talk to, unfortunately i have only see her once
Ward 19
Response from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich 4 years ago
I am very sorry for the poor experience you and your Nan have had in hospital. I have raised this with our most senior nurse on the site who has been looking into your complaint and spoken to the nursing management on ward 19. Hopefully she will also have been able to contact you to speak to you about this directly.
If you have not yet had any contact from anyone at the trust, please ask to speak to the Matron in charge of the ward to discuss this what has happened or contact our PALs department on Tel: 020 8836 4592 or email Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

India-based Lava, which is desperately looking to tap low-end handset market, could launch three new devices in India at the earliest.
Not long ago, Lava launched the Iris 550Q and the QPad e704 android tablet device.
Earlier in the day, the company introduced the Iris Pro 20 into Indian market at a price point of Rs. 13,999. It seems like Lava isn't stopping here, as the firm is all set to introduce the Iris 406g, Iris 450 Colour and the IvoryS tablet device soon.
All three devices will be launched in coming days to come. For the time being, Indian users have to wait a little longer to wait for these very devices. Watch this space for more action!
Recommended: Xolo Q1010i with 5 inch HD Display Launched at Rs 13,499: Top 5 Challengers
Even though Lava hasn't mentioned spec sheet of respective handsets, but we can easily guess features based upon looks and size of devices. Lava Iris 406g, for instance, has a monoblock design and features rounded corners. It has a dual-SIM feature and a 5MP rear-facing camera with an LED Flash.
The other phone, Lava Iris 450 Colour, appears to be quite similar to the Moto G. The dual-SIM handset will be made available in five different colors. Moreover, the Iris 450 Color will pack a 5MP rear-facing camera.
Last but not the least, the Lava IvoryS tablet is expected to be priced around Rs. 8,000. It would have a 7-inch display and a SIM lot (voice-calling enabled).

After ditched by the Cyanogen in the Indian market, OnePlus has hired the whole of the IUNI OS team in December to create its own OS. The company officially unveiled the name of the new ROM recently and it is named as OnePlus OxygenOS. Moreover, the company has revealed,that the new ROM will be unveiled officially on Feb 12th. Ahead of release, some picture of the ROM has been leaked.
On the leaked images, we can see app drawer, OxygenOS weather app and the app interface looks so simple without revealing so much of information. Anyways, the overall OxygenOS looks quite different than the Cyanogenmod ROM that was earlier used by the company's OnePlus One flagship phone.

The company says the OxygenOS ROM will be "open, customizable, and free of bloat and unnecessary features."

And now that I am on the brink of those days I can say that while I am not necessarily dreading it, I am definitely seeing it through bittersweet eyes. I love being a mom, playing with my babies, reading aloud to them, and holding them when they are sick. I love conversations and games with the older ones, and seeing their interesting personalities come out as they matured.
But time moves on.
I need to not only let my older children fly, but help give them wings to do it. For some of my children, that means encouraging them to attend college. In the beginning of our parenting years my husband and I were influenced in some ways, by patriarchal teaching. At the time I thought that I would never have any of my daughters attend college. Thankfully we did not continue that pendulum swing, and have found a kind of middle ground. I now see that college can be used in different ways. The most obvious one is to gain a career, but for those not wanting a full-life career, just taking a few classes can be very valuable.
Bookworm has said that some of the classes she can take will help her become a better homeschooling mom. And with technology today, there are lots of options for our children. CLEP testing and online classes are quite prevalent and can be used very successfully.
College learning is not for everyone, as a couple of my children are showing us. Trade schools are also valuable places to learn and give great hands on skills. I also want my children to know how to cook (Mr. Lego too!) and how to clean house. (They have done chores since they can walk so this is not problem). I have also created a semester curriculum on childhood diseases and illnesses. I want them to be responsible parents and to be able to make wise decisions about their own babies.
And yes, I believe it is important for them to leave the home someday. For our son this might be sooner rather than later. And not because he is the oldest, but because both My Sweetie and I feel that it is important for young men to feel the responsibility of being on their own. We both feel strongly that this gives dignity to our sons and helps them along in life. That doesn't mean we are kicking any of these young people out - on the contrary, we have had many conversations as they have grown, and have encouraged them to spread their wings and fly from the nest.
My older children that are (and will) live with us after 18 still need to have responsibility. At this point in our parenting journey, we have come up with some things our older children must do to live at home. These include having a written budget, letting us know where they are and when they'll be back, and keeping their space clean and doing a couple of household chores a week.
Which leads to another thing that I am learning - Pick Your Battles, or in other words, Give Up Some Control.
My husband and I are learning to decide on those few places that we will not budge on and to stand by them. There are things that you should, and need to, require of those older children living in your home. Honestly? This short list should be able to be counted on one hand.
These people living in your house are adults. With brains all of their own. In lots of ways, in more ways that you think, they need to make their own decisions and plans.
For example, having them register for their college classes all on their own. Or, having them make their own doctor appointments. Or decisions they make about what they do during their free time. For years as parents, we have made these choices and done these things for them. But we need to let go of this responsibility. Let them make choices. Let them lead and decide things. Knowing at times, they might fail at things, miss opportunities, and make poor decisions, which can be very hard to watch indeed.
This is especially for us moms! These are our babies, that we have always had so much control over. We need to remember that they need to fly. And sometimes nudging them to fly can be hard. Some will eagerly stand on the edge of the nest and jump, while others really need a kick in the pants to get started.
Praying for wisdom during this time is so important. Knowing how and when to encourage them make their own decisions is different for each child and home. Thanks be to God that he already knows our plans and gives us wisdom, through our church, godly friends, and the Bible, to give guidance to our older children.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/1/2012 (2052 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A privately owned inter-city bus company is making a pitch to operate in competition with Greyhound in Manitoba.
Calgary-based Pacific Western Transportation announced Monday it will tour four Manitoba towns and cities, including Winnipeg, next week to show off its buses. The visit comes as a provincial subsidy agreement between Manitoba and Greyhound is about to expire.
Pacific Western said its eBus motorcoach division provides "economical, efficient and safe transportation" in Alberta. It says its 48-seat buses are equipped with extra legroom, lap belts, a washroom, wireless Internet and 110-volt power outlets.
A little over two years ago, Greyhound Canada shocked the province and the mostly rural and northern Manitobans who rely on its service by announcing it would cease passenger service in Manitoba. The company said it could no longer afford to run buses on many unprofitable routes, as required by government.
Since then, the provincial government has paid a series of subsidies to Greyhound to maintain service to remote locations while it works on a permanent solution. The latest agreement expires March 31.
Now, another company is interested in providing inter-city service.
"PWT can help the Manitoba government achieve a long-term solution to the inter-city bus problem that was created in 2009," company vice-president Garry Clermont said in a statement. "We can help phase out government subsidies, and work with local providers to develop a made-in-Manitoba hub-and-spoke model that increases bus use and improves service."
The Manitoba government would have to approve any new inter-city bus service provider.
Jodee Mason, a provincial spokeswoman, said no talks have yet been held between Pacific Western and the government, although officials will listen to the company's pitch next week. "There's definitely no negotiating going on with them right now," Mason said.
Doug Dobrowolski, president of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, said he welcomed interest from another inter-city bus carrier. The AMM has expressed concern at Greyhound's potential departure.
"I think competition is good," he said. "I just hope it doesn't give an excuse for Greyhound to leave."
A spokesman for Greyhound Canada could not be reached on Monday.
Kelly Aizicowitz, a spokeswoman for PWT, said the tour will serve as the company's introduction to Manitobans. The company will visit Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas and Winnipeg between Jan. 16 and Jan. 20.
Aizicowitz said Pacific Western Transportation is interested in providing coach service to more than just these towns and cities in Manitoba, but an expanded list won't be released until next week.
-- Who is Pacific Western Transportation?
A privately owned Calgary-based company that provides inter-city bus service in Alberta, a regional medical transportation service in British Columbia and urban transit services in Ontario.
-- What is it offering?
Next week, PWT will demonstrate its inter-city and medical buses in four Manitoba towns and cities -- Winnipeg, Thompson, Flin Flon and The Pas.
-- When is the company doing its Winnipeg show and tell?
On Jan. 20, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Gateway Community Centre (Blue Room), 600 Bonner Ave.
