British quintet, Milestones, were part of a rich wave of young U.K. punk bands when they debuted in 2014. Their emotional and melodic sound attracted the ear of record company Fearless Records, where they signed in 2016. The band also just recently finished Mayday Parade's 10 Year Anniversary Tour.
We had the chance to ask the band some questions and get a closer look into the question of "Who is Milestones?" Unfortunately, the day that the in person interview was set to happen, I fell ill and was unable to go through with the interview. But Milestones guitarist Drew Procter was kind enough to answer some questions via email.
*Answers/questions were slightly edited for clarity
How did you guys meet and form the band?
All of us were in bands and part of the local scene at the time and we'd played shows with each other before but had never met. Each one of us had left those bands because we wanted something a lot more serious and something that was going to take us around the world touring. I met Matt [Clarke] and Mark [Threlfall] through mutual friends from playing shows. Then, after the three of us auditioned about 30 different people to play guitar for the band, I eventually met Eden [Leviston] at college where we were in the same course.
How did you come up with your band name?
Something we all had in common from the start of Milestones was wanting to be in a band that had a really strong work ethic. We felt like the name really represented us as people because we're always wanting to get to that next step whether it's writing better songs, seeing how much energy we can get out of a crowd or how many countries we can tour before the year is out.
What artists inspired your sound?
If I had to narrow it down, You Me At Six, Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore and Fall Out Boy. Our sound is definitely influenced by a lot albums from 10 years ago.
Every musician has a reason behind their passion. What's yours?
When I was a kid the prospect of traveling around the world and playing music to people just seemed like the coolest thing ever to me. Now, walking on stage each and every night, I still have that same passion of wanting every person in the room to feel something when they're watching us play, knowing that the day after I'll be somewhere completely different getting to do that again.
What was your favorite part of being on the "10-Year Anniversary Tour?"
A Lesson In Romantics was an album that everyone in the band grew up listening to, and it was pretty influential for us writing music for Milestones too. Honestly, getting to see that record played from front to back each night was the highlight of that tour for me.
What was your favorite part of being in the U.S. for the first time?
There's too much I could mention here (laughs). For me, it was the first time ever being in the states so just being able to explore all of the music cities like LA, Seattle and Nashville was pretty surreal because I'd grown up watching so many documentaries about some of my favourite bands/artists starting up in those places. I think one of the best parts of touring the U.S for the band was how supportive people are for new music. Also, being able to get people into your music and what the band is about night after night was extremely rewarding.
What do you want your fans, as well as the people reading this who are just hearing about you guys for the first time, to know about Milestones?
We're releasing new music soon so stay tuned.
We'd like to give a big "thank you" to Milestones and Fearless Records for taking the time to make this interview happen. Milestones' debut EP, Equal Measures, is available now. You can keep up with them on their official website or hit them up on Twitter. You can also check out some pictures we took of them, as well as Knuckle Puck and Mayday Parade, at Starland Ballroom on Mayday Parade's A Lesson In Romantics 10-year anniversary tour here.

UN drinking water target met - but sanitation still falls short
Posted: 3 April 2012
Author: Kanaga Raja, Third World Network Features
The world has met the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water five years ahead of the 2015 deadline - but is unlikely to meet the sanitation target.
According to a report by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, between 1990 and 2010, over two billion people gained access to improved drinking water sources, such as piped supplies and protected wells. By 2015, an estimated 92 per cent of the global population will have access to improved drinking water.
On a negative note, the report says that the world is unlikely to meet the MDG sanitation target. Only 63 per cent of the world now have improved sanitation access, a figure projected to increase only to 67 per cent by 2015, well below the 75 per cent aim in the MDGs.
One of the targets of MDG No. 7 is halving by 2015 the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
"Today, we recognize a great achievement for the people of the world. This is one of the first MDG targets to be met. The successful efforts to provide greater access to drinking water are a testament to all who see the MDGs not as a dream, but as a vital tool for improving the lives of millions of the poorest people," says UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
In a foreword to the joint report, Ban says: "Of course, much work remains to be done. There are still 780 million people without access to an improved drinking water source. And even though 1.8 billion people have gained access to improved sanitation since 1990, the world remains off track for the sanitation target."
According to the joint UNICEF/WHO report, the MDG drinking water target has been reached: Over 2 billion people gained access to improved water sources from 1990 to 2010, and the proportion of the global population still using unimproved sources is estimated at only 11 per cent.
This is less than half of the 24 per cent estimated for 1990, says the report, adding that almost 6.1 billion people or 89 per cent of the world's population, were using an improved water source in 2010.
"The drinking water target has thus become one of the first MDG targets to be met," it stresses, cautioning however that while this tremendous achievement should be applauded, a great deal of work remains.
For instance, while coverage of improved water supply sources is 90 per cent or more in Latin America and the Caribbean, Northern Africa and large parts of Asia, it is only 61 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa. Coverage in the developing world overall stands at 86 per cent, but it is only 63 per cent in countries designated as "least developed".
Similar disparities are found within countries - between the rich and poor and between those living in rural and urban areas.
The report also notes that complete information about drinking water safety is not available for global monitoring. Systematically testing the microbial and chemical quality of water at the national level in all countries is prohibitively expensive and logistically complicated.
Although the MDG drinking water target has been met, the report says that it only calls for halving the proportion of people without safe drinking water. More than one tenth of the global population still relied on unimproved drinking water sources in 2010.
On the number of people who have gained access to an improved drinking water source since 1990, the report finds that the progress of India and China not only dominates their respective regions, but represents nearly half of the global progress towards the drinking water target.
Though they are on track to reach the target, China and India combined are still home to 216 million people without access to improved water supplies. This represents 28 percent of the global population that remains unserved.
The report points to stark disparities between urban and rural coverage. An estimated 96% of the urban population globally used an improved water supply source in 2010, compared to 81 percent of the rural population.
Similarly, 80% of the world's urban population had piped water connections, compared to only 29% of people in rural areas.
In urban areas, the rate of increase in piped water on premises has stagnated over the last 20 years. The rate of increase has been higher in rural areas, but coverage remains low.
According to UNICEF/WHO, though it is unlikely that the world will meet the MDG sanitation target by 2015, encouraging progress is being made. Globally, 63 per cent of the population use improved sanitation facilities, an increase of almost 1.8 billion people since 1990. This means that we are within 10 per cent of being 'on track'. At current rates of progress, we will reach 67 per cent coverage in 2015, better than previous projections but still far from the 75 per cent needed to reach the target."
The report underlines that unless the pace of change in the sanitation sector can be accelerated, the MDG target may not be reached until 2026. In 2010, an estimated 2.5 billion people were still without improved sanitation.
"Many countries are off track in meeting the MDG sanitation target, including much of sub-Saharan Africa and several of the most populous countries in Asia," the report notes.
The report highlights progress in China and India since these two countries represent such a large proportion of their regional populations. While China has contributed to more than 95% of the progress in Eastern Asia, the same is not true for India in Southern Asia.
Together, China and India contributed just under half of the global progress towards the MDG target in sanitation. One third of the 2.5 billion people without improved sanitation live in India.
The report underscores that the disparities in rural and urban sanitation are even more pronounced than those in drinking water supply. Globally, 79 per cent of the urban population use an improved sanitation facility, compared to 47 per cent of the rural population.
In rural areas, 1.8 billion people lack access to improved sanitation, representing 72 per cent of the global total of those unserved. However, a great deal of progress has been made in rural areas since 1990: 724 million rural dwellers have gained access to improved sanitation while the number of people unserved in urban areas has grown by 183 million.

Judge cans soda tax for now with temporary restraining order

A Cook County judge on Friday put a temporary halt on the county's sweetened beverage tax.
The tax – an additional penny-per-ounce on sweetened beverages – was to have gone into effect on Saturday.
The Illinois Retail Merchants Association filed a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction on behalf of Cook County retailers on Tuesday. Judge Daniel Kubasiak granted the restraining order.
The matter is back up in court on July 12.
"We appreciate the court's decision to hit the pause button on this matter," Rob Karr, president and CEO of the association, said in a statement. "We are now asking for the court to rule on a preliminary injunction that will continue the status quo until we have a final decision on the legality of the ordinance."
Beyond the next hearing, the association has 28 days to file a brief to the judge arguing why the county's motion to dismiss should be thrown out. The county then has 14 days to respond to the retailers' brief.
The county will file a notice of appeal before the Appellate Court seeking to vacate the restraining order, according to a statement from Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.
The decision to grant the restraining order means the county's finance department will now have to look at "holdbacks, efficiencies and – because 87 percent of General Fund expenditures are personnel-related – a substantial number of position reductions each month that collection of the tax is delayed," according to Preckwinkle's statement.
County officials have projected that the tax will bring in about $200 million a year.
"Revenue from the tax is critical to both balancing our FY2017 budget and development of our FY2018 budget," Preckwinkle's statement said. "As the litigation proceeds, we will continue to aggressively defend our ordinance."
The tax creates classifications between sweetened beverages that violates the uniformity clause of the Illinois Constitution and is unconstitutionally vague, attorneys representing the retailers say. For example, a store-bought Frappuccino would be taxed, but one created by a barista would not be.
Those who buy sweetened drinks would bear the brunt of the tax, but if retailers don't include it in purchases they could be subject to a fine of $1,000 for the first offense, and $2,000 for the second and each subsequent offense. Beyond potentially paying fines, there are also concerns that businesses will lose revenue from customers opting to drive to Will or other collar counties or Indiana to avoid paying more.
During arguments Thursday, attorneys for the retailers also argued that the tax would cause irreparable harm because there is no refund mechanism in place. If the tax is struck down later, consumers, the attorneys argued, won't be able to get their money back.

Joan Best Seamon
It has been said that singing is praying twice. The parishioners of St. Matthias are certainly praying a lot with a music ministry that is in full swing. Eleven different ensembles meet for rehearsal during the week and are overseen by Joan Best Seamon, the Director of Music.
It takes a very gifted musician to grow a music ministry that large. Joan is an outstanding musician, and she also provides a warm and inviting forum for church members to express and share their gift of music, whether that person is a professional or amateur.
She was born in Louisville, Kentucky. Her father's job moved the family to many locales, but they finally settled in Somerset. Joan's love of music prompted her to become a Music Education major at Douglass College, where she studied piano with Maria Valgoczy. Joan also took a Masters Degree in Music History and Theory at Rutgers.
St. Matthias has always been Joan's parish. The Director of Music job opened in 1978. Joan began a career that would enable her to grow as a musician and provide a platform for others to express themselves through music. At the beginning, the Adult Choir, the Children's Choirs and a folk group were the ensembles in place. Joan found ways to include other forms of musical expression, such as the Umoja Imani Songsters Gospel Choir, the Filipino American Association Choir, a Handbell choir and a Youth Handbell Choir, and the "150" Central Praise Band.
It is sometimes hard to separate music from spirituality. Music has a tremendous power to touch the human spirit. Joan keeps finding ways to keep that spirit alive. The "150" Central Praise Band and the Children's Choir recently performed at the Franklin Middle School to benefit a school in Tanzania, aiding the work of Sister Mary Vertucci, a Maryknoll sister whose family are longtime parishioners of St. Matthias.
Joan lends a creative touch to the music ministry by combining choirs from time to time to give members a chance to sing with others. She has commissioned new music. Chris Rath, the Assistant Choir Director, set to music the Parish Mission Statement. Joan beams at the talent that is all around her. Of course, this talent would have no outlet without the vision of the pastor of St. Matthias Church, Reverend Douglass J. Haefner, and the nurturing Joan provides. Those wishing to be a part of a great musical experience can find a home with Joan's encouragement. This is music ministry at its best.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Buying Tips and Advice' started by MACoconut, Oct 25, 2008.
is it feasible to get the applecare for my ipod touch 2G?
I bought it on ebay for $19 2 weeks ago.
Sweet Deal. I'll have to look for that deal. If someone finds another, please post some info here, maybe the sellers name or auction # or a link. Thanks. When I got my MB warranty on ebay for $160, the seller had several. Got my Mac Mini warranty for $99.
There are definitely some cheap AppleCare plans on eBay, but are they legit?
Worked for me. I entered the code and it confirmed me for Applecare on my iPod touch.
I suppose I'm just puzzled why people would want to sell a sealed AppleCare at a loss?
Wow, yeah what's the deal with that? I didn't even think to look at ebay for applecare...
For one thing, it "is" a sealed product. I asked an apple person on the phone a year ago about buying mine on ebay. They said it was like buying anything sealed (like a piece of hardware). They said, if you go to the apple store, you get one off the shelf and buy it. Sooo, they said maybe the ebay seller bought a "clearance lot" of them from a re-seller like best buy or someone. The second one I got on ebay was said by the seller, to have a damaged box. I just got the code in an email. When I registered it I received a confirmation from apple. My warranties have been confirmed several times and several ways.

Royale (2006) - plot summary
Bond Casino

with a licence to kill, Secret Agent James Bond sets
out on his first mission as 007 and must defeat a
weapons dealer in a high stakes game of poker at Casino
Royale, but things are not what they seem.
receiving license to kill from the MI-6, the secret
agent James Bond follows his leads and avoids the
destruction of the greatest airplane in the world
in Miami plotted by the evil banker Le Chiffre to
crash the bonds in the stock market and break the
air flight company. The banker loses the funds of
international terrorist organizations and organizes
a poker game in Casino Royale, in Montenegro, to raise
the money of the investors. James Bond travels with
the British accountant Vesper Lynd to bet and defeat
La Chiffre and force him to look for protection with
the MI-6, disclosing the names of the terrorists.

and murders. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro,
Bond goes on his first ever mission. Le Chiffre

in a poker game at Montenegro, where he must win
back his money, in order to stay safe among the
terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply
as M sends Bond, along with Vesper Lynd to attend
this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning.
Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and
having Vesper pose as his wife, enters the most
important poker game in his already dangerous
career. But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he
and Vesper Lynd remain safe? Written by simon
promoted to 00 status, James Bond takes over his
first mission, in which he faces a mysterious
private banker to world terrorism and poker player,
Le Chiffre. Along with a beautiful Treasury agent
and the MI6 man in Montenegro, Bond takes part
in a high stakes poker game set up by Le Chiffre
in order to recover a huge sum of his clients'
money he lost in a failed plot that the British
spy took down. 007 will not only discover the
threatening organization behind his enemy, but
the worst of all truths: to not trust on anyone.
Written by wolf beautell
Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his
license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous,
and with two professional assassinations in quick
succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's
first 007 mission takes him to Uganda where he
is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything
goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate,
independently of MI6, in order to track down the
rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to
the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend,
Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved
with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist
organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals
that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in
a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino
Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing
that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his
organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful
eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical
of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest
in her deepens as they brave danger together and
even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro,
Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field
agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the
interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds
with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes
beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

As the criminal trial on the Matinicus shooting unfolds in Rockland, there is a another quiet story playing out in Augusta. It's a new version of an old story. The Department of Marine Resources seeks legislation allowing it shut down entire fisheries where there is conflict between fishermen and "a risk of harm to any person." LD 1604. As with the shutdown itself, this law was pressed through the legislative process without the DMR making any effort to work with fishing communities to address the problem of violence between fishermen.
The martial law declared over Matinicus lobstering last year was implemented by sending out a half dozen armed officers, who announced that we were all out of work for 2 weeks, handed out copies of the rule and departed into the evening rain about 10 minutes later. There was no effort to work with fishermen or community leaders to deal with violence on the wharf. Despite the motivation of about 95% of the fishing families to maintain stability following a stunning incident, the department did not engage with the Board of Assessors or the fishing leadership to come up with any meaningful safety plan.
From the Commissioner's and others' remarks, it appears those officials believe everyone in the Matinicus fleet bore some indirect responsibility for the actions of the combatants. This was why the Commissioner felt justified in imposing such dramatic collective punishment and putting an entire community out of business to "send a message." Imagine closing a small town in Aroostook County to all farming activities in September if a couple of farmers got into it, or closing Piscataquis County to logging because a couple of loggers got violent.
My impression is that there is a mentality that the community of Matinicus Island deserved a crackdown from afar because of the unique enforcement challenges and frustration the Department has experienced. DMR wanted to "get its point across," and "send a message." I ask whether a similar act of violence between fishermen in Stonington or Vinalhaven have resulted in a quarantine of those fishing communities.
This typifies the relationship between state agencies and Matinicus- a lack of services and support, lack of interest, and an unwillingness to collaborate to solve problems. When there's a problem, officials simply throw up their hands and portray islanders as out of control and lawless. The reaility is that the island self governs not by choice, but by necessity, out of the lack of having a partner in Augusta. DMR won't supply resources to deal with ccriminal activity, but wants to, by remote control, punish the entire community and force the community to deal with the actual trouble makers.
The new law provides for a hearing in front of the Commissioner within 30 days. I believe the hearing should be before a judge or a qualified administrative hearing offficer not employed by DMR. I also believe that if the Department wants to wait 30 days to provide a hearing, it can suspend any closure until the hearing has been held and a ruling issued. That will make a hearing provision meaningful. Otherwise, it's a joke. In poor taste. Boat payments won't be suspended. Credit card companies won't wait for the hearing.
In its currrent form, LD 1604 encourages arbitrary action from afar and lets the DMR off the hook for doing the hard work of dealing with a few individuals who commit crimes and think it's OK because they're fishermen. There are fishermen who've lost tens of thousands of dollars to gear and boat sabotage and are still waiting for a meaningful response from the government officials who have the power and responsibility to act. LD 1604 is no substitute.
The fundamental question is whether the island must self govern or whether state agencies can provide meaningful services and support in the role of partner as well as enforcer from above.

Had mine for about four years. Bit slow to bear but now prolific. Small tree with sweet large fruit and needs to be mulched and watered on the leaf outer drip. Likes Epsom salts and little pruning of inside twigs. Watch for stink bugs. | Walter Libl - Morayfield, QLD 21-Jun-2016

The Gadsden Initiative
The Gadsden Initiative is a proposition by Zion Discourse Think Tank for the revolutionary reformation of the American political system as it exists today. In light of increasing nepotism, public refusal to participate in democracy on the state and federal levels, and evidence of foreign manipulation of American politics, the American system is in serious need of reworking.
The overall goal of this program is to bring about a total reform of the American system on the Federal, state, and local level in accordance with a strict interpretation of the Constitution and intent of the Founding Fathers. Additionally, it seeks to integrate the best and brightest solutions that we have found in the centuries of American history.
In no particular order, here are the proposed goals of the Gadsden Initiative:

Samsung's latest range of QLED TVs are out now and they're packed with innovative technology that will change the way you watch TV at home. In fact, there's so much going on in these TVs it's worth cracking the hood and taking a look at these high-tech displays and what they mean for you.
Samsung has been using Quantum Dot technology for a while and there's a lot of advantages to this particular technology. Quantum Dots, as a refresher, are tiny inorganic crystals that are designed to very precisely replicate colour when light shines through it. The colour depends on the size of the crystal which means TV manufacturers can fine tune the colours on offer in a an efficient way.
This makes for not only a wide range of colours that can be displayed, but those colours are extremely bright and, most importantly of all, accurate colour representations. Your favourite TV shows and movies are going to look more true-to-life, with a sharp contrast and a brightness that will make it pop.
It's also good news for people who want bigger TVs as well – and let's face it, who doesn't want a bigger screen when it comes to home entertainment? Samsung's latest QLED range includes models with screens up to 75-inches in size.
Long Lasting
Not only that, but the fact it's inorganic makes Quantum Dot very resistant to damage from screen burn-in where images displayed for a long time can end up as "ghosts" on the screen, haunting your viewing experience. Samsung are so confident about this, the new QLED range come with a 10 Year No Screen Burn Guarantee. For hardcore sport watchers, this will come with a big a sigh of relief. This will also come into play with the new Ambient Mode Samsung has in the 2018 QLED line-up. Ambient Mode lets the TV sense the colour and pattern of the wall they're mounted on via the SmartThings app and match the screen to that when not in use. Rather than just a flat black panel the TV can blend into your room and even show the weather or the time all available at a glance when you need
On the flagship Samsung Q8 and Q9 TVs this is all backed up by a feature called Direct Full Array backlighting technology, brand new for the 2018 QLED range. This offers even more stunning picture quality than traditional Edge-Lighting TVs by making sure that the screen is illuminated accurately across the whole breadth of the display and not just from the edges. It's backed by an improved viewing angle, anti-glare filter and some well-designed algorithms in charge of the lighting. This reduces blooming and halo effects and enables deeper contrast, with inky blacks and brilliant whites. It's also particularly good for watching HDR or High Dynamic Range and Samsung's new range sports the HDR10+ standard.
At its most basic, HDR is about superior colour and contrast when compared to SDR (standard dynamic range). Whites can be brighter, blacks darker and the contrast between the two even greater. Colours will look clearer and more realistic. That additional clarity can make your movies absolutely pop off the screen! Even to the most jaded TV viewer, HDR creates an easily noticeable difference to movies and TV shows.
As we said, QLED technology is particularly good for HDR because quantum dot technology can easily provide the deeper colours that HDR requires. HDR10+ pushes the technology even further, optimising colour and contrast levels for each individual scene. It's requires a lot of processing power, but that's what the Samsung QLED range has, so you can watch your movie exactly the way the director intended.
If you watch a lot of sport or enjoy gaming at home, there's a couple of extra features tucked away in Samsung's QLED TVs that will make you a very happy person. The first is the 200Hz refresh rate which, when combined with Quantum Dot and Direct Full Array, makes for very smooth motion when the action gets fast-paced.
Game Mode
Gamers will also love Samsung's promised 15ms of lag -- basically meaning you can get super-fast response time when it counts. Too much lag and your gaming can feel sluggish and unresponsive, but Samsung's Game Mode helps cuts back on response time letting you play at your best.
So whether you're a movie buff, gamer or just want your favourite TVs shows to look their absolute best Samsung's 2018 QLED range might be exactly what you're looking for.

Our dinner was supposed to be at the Eiffel Tower. However there was a strike and we were given a choice either a full refund or to eat on the boat and continue with the cruise. Understandably that it has nothing to do with Headout and VisionParis did everything they could to accommodate us. But the alternative place for food was below average. Headout as an app is easy to use and convenient. Furthermore the response to queries is fast and accurate.
Wasn't sure if it was a tourist gimmick but it turned out to be an authentic and unique travel experience.
I am glad I went with the dinner choice, the tower and the city looks stunning at night.

We love our pets. They are our "furry children", and just as you would not leave a dirty diaper pail in the open during a showing, pet maintenance becomes very important when your home is for sale.
Bathe "Fido" regularly, and launder his bedding once a week to avoid that doggie smell. It may seem excessive to some pet owners, but by the time you notice that it smells, it's too late. Just do not let it get to that point in the first place. Pick up dog waste daily.
Scoop cat litter pans twice a day. While solid waste may smell strongly when fresh, urine has real staying power. You may need to rinse out the box weekly and replace the litter. It depends on how many cats you have. If it smells of ammonia when you scrape the bottom, clean it out. A bag of generic cat litter is cheap. Do not let it cost you a sale. Some cats do not adapt easily to change, so do not move the pan out into the garage or into the bathroom suddenly when listing the home for sale. Let your cat adapt to the new location slowly to avoid her eliminating outside the box. Kitty may be a good sport if you gradually move it a little every day. Start transitioning as soon as the thought "selling" pops in your mind.
Brush pets often to minimize loose hair on carpets and furniture. Pet hair is particularly visible on dark wood floors. Vacuum regularly.
Gerbils, guinea pigs and rabbits are usually contained in an enclosure and more easily managed when it comes to their waste, though I have yet to see a rabbit hutch that did not smell "ripe".

Local Governance in India
- Bidyut Chakrabarty - Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Delhi.
- Rajendra Kumar Pandey - Faculty, Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut
Local Governance in India draws on the basic theoretical and practical aspects of localizing governance and illuminates how local governance unfolds in India. To help comprehend relevant issues contextually, the book focuses on the historical, socio-economic and political milieus, and draws extensively on examples and cases from India. By understanding local governance in the wider political scenario, it also endeavours to reconceptualize local governance in India as integral to the country's macro politics. The book offers a broad analysis of specific programmes, such as MGNREGA, and structures of governance at the grass-roots level, thereby providing insights into relatively less-discussed aspects and helps grasp the concept of governance in a policy perspective.
Containing varied examples, case studies and literature review, this textbook would be an ideal companion for students of political science, public administration, urban and rural development, sociology, social work and economics.
Key Features:
· Provides a concise and well-balanced coverage of rural and urban governance in India
· Incorporates insights into and explanations of both Western and non-Western perspectives of local governance
· Dwells on contemporary trends in democratization and local governance
· Makes a projective study of future of local governance in India

Ten Things Expats Should Know about Irish Tax
Ten Things Expats Should Know about Irish Tax
It's been a while since we talked about costs here. But I got another email during the week from someone thinking of living in Ireland and one of the things we talked about was tax. I've tried not to think about tax here as I moved back just when the government started piling on income levies and other strange charges. I know, I know; great timing!
These are some of the interesting (ahem, maybe I mean relevant) things I've discovered this year:
- The tax year is a calendar year from Jan.1st to December 31st. Logical; thank you!
- Only 183 days of that are counted as making you resident for tax purposes. They have also have a system where if you are resident for 280 days over two years that you pay tax for the second year.
- If you're resident in Ireland for tax purposes then you need to also pay tax here on any income earned overseas during this time.
- Luckily Ireland has a double-taxation deal with over 40 countries which means you don't have to stump up in both places.
- You should check the details of this before arriving here as each agreement is different. Don't just assume your Irish employer's accountant will understand your personal situation.
- There is another category for people who are 'ordinarily resident' here. This is people who stay for three years or less – i.e. most expat contracts. You still need to pay tax on all income earned here and overseas but not on investment properties or on work which is carried out away from Ireland.
- If you are employed by a company here, they take the tax out of your salary for you. It's called PAYE: Pay As You Earn.
- Self-employed people can choose to pay annually in a lump sum or set up a direct debit payment based on self-assessment.
- EU residents can keep their Personal Tax Credits when you come here if you earn more than 75% of your income in Ireland.
- You can find any other information you need at the Irish Tax website.

Weird Animals: Not a Pokemon! Googly-Eyed Squid Spotted in California
The animal world is filled with bizarre things, and recently, one of them popped up on the ocean floor. Scientists in California have stumbled upon a googly-eyed squid that looks like it's "fake" but is, in fact, very real.
In a video published by Nautilus Live, the team of scientists spotted the adorable creature at 2,950 feet deep off the coast of California.
"It looks so fake. Like some little kid dropped their toy," said one of the researchers in the video, Gizmodo reports.
The perplexing creature turned out to be real and is actually called Rossia pacifica, more commonly known as stubby squid. Nautilus Live notes that Rossia pacifica is commonly found in the Northern Pacific from Japan to Southern California.
Looking like a cross between an octopus and a squid and is closely related to cuttlefish, this cephalopod belongs to the sepiolid family, The Cephalopod Page notes.
The stubby squid sports two long tentacles and eight suckered arms but do not have a quill or cuttlebone just like squids do. They mostly live in the bottom of the ocean and, like the cuttlefish, could bury themselves in the sand.
Stubby squids usually appear at night when they are attracted by bright light from divers, but bury themselves in mud or sand during the day to avoid danger. As a defense mechanism, stubby squids emit a blob of black ink to distract any predator.
These adorable creatures grow as long as six centimeters. They access deeper depths and move around by using their fins or jet propulsion, where they suck in water and then squirt it out to eject their body to different directions.
It has a harsh reproduction process as female stubby squid usually dies after mating. The female squid lays its eggs (around 25 to 50 eggs per mating) on rocks, sponges and clam shells, and then die afterwards. The eggs are enclosed in a durable capsule that's tough enough to last four to nine months for hatching.
To witness the googly-eyed stubby squid that looks like it came out straight of a cartoon, check the video below.

|the snow tube run
As I may have mentioned before, since we moved to Boston, we've been seeking out new activities and experiences. Last weekend, we went snow tubing at a local ski resort, Nashoba Valley, which has an area dedicated solely to tubing (click here to visit their website). What a blast!
Nashoba Valley provides the tubes, and there are 17 runs and a lift that tows riders up the hill. Once you're at the apex, you choose a run, get into the tube and push off. Admittedly, I was a little nervous on the first run, but riding down the hill was exhilarating! After that, Kevin and I "tandem tubed" (held on to each others' tubes while going downhill) and even spun ourselves at the beginning of some runs. Though we were pretty much the only adults who didn't accompany children or teens, we had so much fun that we'll definitely be back!

However, it remains obscure whether functional BDCA3+ DCs exist or not in the liver. We identified BDCA3+CLEC9A+ cells in the liver tissue (Fig. 1D). In a paired frequency analysis of BDCA3+ DCs between in PBMCs and in IHLs, the cells are more abundant in the liver. The phenotypes of liver BDCA3+ DCs were more mature than the PBMC counterparts. In support of our observations, a recent publication showed that CD141+ (BDCA3+) DCs are accumulated and more mature in the liver, the trend of which is more in HCV-infected liver.24 We confirmed that liver BDCA3+ DCs are functional, capable of releasing IFN-λs in Dactolisib response to poly IC or HCVcc. BDCA3+ DCs were able to produce large amounts of IFN-λs but much less
IFN-β or IFN-α upon TLR3 stimulation. In contrast, in response to TLR9 agonist, pDCs released large amounts of IFN-β and IFN-α but much less IFN-λs. Such distinctive patterns of IFN response between BDCA3+ DCs and pDCs are of particular interest.
It has been reported that interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3, IRF-7, or nuclear factor kappa LY2109761 purchase B (NF-κB) are involved in IFN-β and IFN-λ1, while IRF-7 and NF-κB are involved in IFN-α and IFN-λ2/λ3.5 Presumably, the stimuli with TLR3/retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) (poly IC) or TLR9 agonist (CpG-DNA) in DCs are destined to activate these transcription factors, resulting in the induction of both types of IFN at comparable levels. However, the results of the present study did not agree with such overlapping transcription factors for IFN-λs, IFN-β, and IFN-α. Two possible explanations exist for different levels of IFN-λs and IFN-α production by BDCA3+ DCs and pDCs. First, the transcription factors required for full activation of IFN genes may differ according to
the difference of DC subsets. The second possibility is that since type III IFN genes have multiple exons, they are potentially regulated by posttranscriptional mechanisms. Thus, it is possible that such genetic and/or posttranscriptional regulation is distinctively executed between BDCA3+ DCs and pDCs. Comprehensive analysis of gene profiles downstream of TLRs or RIG-I in BDCA3+ DCs should offer some information on this important issue. BDCA3+ DCs were found to be more sensitive Isotretinoin to HCVcc than JEV or HSV in IL-28B/IFN-λ3 production. Such different strengths of IL-28B in BDCA3+ DCs depending on the virus suggest that different receptors are involved in virus recognition. Again, the question arises of why BDCA3+ DCs produce large amounts of IFN-λs compared to the amounts produced by pDCs in response to HCVcc. Considering that IRF-7 and NF-κB are involved in the transcription of the IL-28B gene, it is possible that BDCA3+ DCs successfully activate both transcription factors upon HCVcc for maximizing IL-28B, whereas pDCs fail to do so. In support for this possibility, in pDCs it is reported that NF-κB is not properly activated upon HCVcc or hepatoma cell-derived HCV stimulations.

Over the past four months we've been collectively writing a short-short story everyday. In spite of being eighty different people from over sixteen different countries, our technique has been simple: everyday, on a rotating basis, one of us starts a story with a word, the next wiki-member adds the next word and so on and so forth all the way through the eighty members. This will continue several times until somebody decides to end the story. It's the latest application of a wiki-idea that has brought so many different kinds of people together. At some point we'll start to consider putting these stories together for a book. How will we fit all our names on the cover? It'll be to be a really big book of short-short stories.
Today is our eightieth short-short story.
Don't Do the Pope Dance
It is with the utmost gravity that I bring your attention to the seriousness of the upcoming Holy Cross Dance on Friday, April 18th. It has been my pleasure to be principle of our distinguished school for over twelve years now and so I've seen my share of trends come and go. There is a trend afoot that I trust will never come through the doors of our school. To ensure this, I've taken time out to write this letter to all the students of our beloved school. (Go Holy Cross Nails! Go!)
While there are many legal, moral and theological questions about the video leaked onto the Internet of the Pope showering, I wish to simply state that I myself have not watched it. I only know that it is something that should not be. (Corinthians 3:12-15) There are times to have fun and play jokes but there are other times when you shouldn't insert that tiny camera into the corner of the shower of God's representative on earth. That the video was broadcast several days after our annual Holy Cross field trip to Rome raises a number of questions but I'm not here to point the finger of blame. In due time one of the students of this school will find it in his heart to confess this horrible sin. (There is graffiti all over Rome of the Pope in his shower. How would you feel if the same thing happened to you?) How far the Pope inserted a certain something up his something else is no joking matter. We all need to clean that spot. I hope everyone learns the lesson of privacy from this incident. We all need to take showers uninterrupted by the fear that we're being filmed. If we don't have this basic belief, then how will any of us stay clean? How will the world smell?
This brings me to the odious trend that I mentioned earlier of the "Pope Dance". It appears that there's a dance wherein everyone twists and turns in the exact actions that are shown in the Pope Shower Video. High school dances all across North America and Europe have been plagued by this dance-floor craze. Suffice it to say that anyone caught doing the "Pope Dance" will be expelled from Holy Cross. Let me repeat: we have a zero-tolerance policy on the "Pope Dance." Everyone can enjoy themselves on Friday with any other number of dances, except of course for "the Same-Sex Marriage Dance", "the Abortion Dance", "the Contraceptive Dance," or "the Watusi.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Principle Barretto

If you look 'round my house, there's TRAINs all about, but I'm not a trainspotter, no I'm not a train bore.
Old red and blue tracks, orange, black and new tracks. A great big wooden track on my landing floor!
I know all their names, Murdoch, Molly, James. Peter Sam and Gordon are both number 4.
Songs on a CD, programmes on the TV, books we've plenty, at least twenty I'm sure.
Days out, vacations, various train stations – huddled on the platform standing there in awe.
Taken over my life, both me and the wife. It feels like we're living on the isle of Sodor!
My son's the reason for it, the reason I endure it. He's trains on the brain, it's what he lives for!!
And man, there's nothing better, then building track together. Father–son fun, who can ask for more!!!!!

We all know that swimming is an incredible exercise, but there are many other types of aquatic training that can be used by athletes of all levels!
Aquatic training is one of the least used tools that an athlete can have in their training arsenal, even though it has some incredible benefits!
Often aquatic training is left to the elderly, as it is seen as an aerobic activity that should just be done by those who cannot move so well anymore.
Taking advantage of the many different types of aquatic training can be beneficial for burning calories, increasing athletic performance, and recovering from injuries!
Aquatic training can easily be performed at home. If you are looking for a way to perform aquatic training at home, this is an excellent guide to purchasing above ground pools that would be suitable for you to train in!
Aquatic Plyometrics Calories Burned
One of the most preeminent benefits of aquatic training is that you can burn large amounts of calories, without any stress on your bones or joints. Especially for those athletes who are recovering from injury, aquatic training is an excellent way to work the body without risking the rehabilitation process.
Simply running, walking, or performing any low-intensity aerobic exercise will burn substantial calories in water, although it will not feel as if you are working very hard!
Benefits of Aquatic Plyometrics
Plyometric training is especially useful to be done in the water! To do this, you only need a pool that is a little bit more deep than your waist line. It can be performed in deeper water, but it is not necessary.
Plyometric training is generally tough on your joints, and can only be done once or twice per week due to this.
Consistent plyometric training on land will drain your Central Nervous System, as well as fatigue your body.
Aquatic plyometrics, however, have been proven to be less impactful on your joints; along with being even more effective than land plyometrics!
Studies have proven that both running, and doing plyometrics in water have positive effects on sprint speed and vertical jump!
Tuck jumps, vertical jumps, single leg bounds, and lateral bounds can all be performed in even small amounts of space in a pool, with great effectiveness!
Furthermore, aquatic plyometrics have been proven to promote less muscular fatigue than land plyometrics, and can be trained much more often! This is yet another benefit of aquatic training!
Aquatic plyometrics is an excellent form of training for any athlete looking to increase their vertical jump, or sprinting speed!
Concluding Thoughts
If you are looking to improve your vertical jump, you need to be doing aquatic training.
Aquatic training is incredibly effective because it does not require a large amount of space at all.
You can easily perform aquatic training in your background if you have an above ground pool, allowing you to have an effective workout right at home!
There are many different forms of aquatic training, and aquatic plyometrics is especially effective for those athletes who are looking to perform better in sports that require explosive power and movement speed!
Understanding the benefits of various types of aquatic training can be key for limiting excess "pounding" on the joints, while also training to maximum capacity!
Aquatic training is more than suitable as a viable replacement for many types of land training.

On my last day in Norfolk there wasn't really time to go anywhere very far away. Anyhow, with my brother and sister both working that Saturday, someone had to walk the dog. This is him on the left, the soppy animal. His name is Galaxy (like the chocolate) or else Gal, Gally, Galvin, Gallifrey, Galvanise, Gallivanting...
We got him from a rescue centre so we don't know exactly how old he is or what kind of cross-breed he might be, but as you can see he's a very god looking mongrel. A collie shape, but with retriever fur the colour of a chocolate labrador.
He normally gets taken on the same walk every lunchtime, so the poor boy was very confused when I bundled him into my car and took him to the small patch of heath near the Nun's Bridges as you leave Thetford towards Bury. He's not a young dog any more, but I have never seen him so excited. He was bounding - bounding! -along the path and, because I prefer to keep him on the lead as his hearing is going, I had to run to keep up with him.
Here's something I've never seen before. It's a Cinnabar caterpillar, nibbling on a ragwort plant. When it grows up it will turn itself into a lovely little grey and red Cinnabar Moth.
Although it's near the road, if you stay near the back of the common it's pretty quiet. I remember Travellers parking up here when I was younger. I don't know if they still come any more, but I did come across a couple picnicking by the pond in the rear corner. Normally we only walk for an hour or so anyway, but I think I tired Gal out pretty good.
Evening coming, and it's back to Loughborough again to regroup before tackling the rest of my summer. Over the next few weeks I have a lot to do. I'm going to London to see some Olympic Badminton, then to Greenbelt Festival, and Venice in September. How I'm going to get it all done I don't know, but the big quiet spaces of Norfolk have done me a lot of good. The storms in my head have cleared...
...and left clearer skies.

Programe manager for developer outreach | Microsoft Edge team
He then spent a few years in Yahoo building products and explaining and training people including Yahoo Answers, Search, Local and Maps. He then worked at Mozilla moving HTML5 support forward and advocating Firefox OS as an open alternative to closed mobile systems. Chris wrote two and contributed to eight books on web development and wrote many articles and hundreds of blog posts for Ajaxian, Smashing Magazine, Yahoo, Mozilla, ScriptJunkie and many more. He also wrote the Developer Evangelism Handbook in use in many companies to coach evangelists.
He is currently working with the Microsoft Edge team as a Program Manager for Developer Outreach.
One of the biggest issues of developer evangelism is scaling. You don't want to hire a few people and burn them out. You also don't want to have people blog and present about your products without any quality control. It is a fine line between supporting a community with materials to use in their messaging and to force them to become robots repeating messages that are very refined but insincere. It is especially important to allow your community to localise your materials to different cultural environments - something many companies are missing out on.
In this session Chris Heilmann is going to show how during his time in Mozilla he started and Evangelism Reps program, shared materials with a world-wide community for re-use and localisation and how to keep upper management and marketing from interfering with your efforts. Many companies are very open to letting people talk about their products, but won't allow them to use their own voice. A canned presentation is easy to create, but very hard to present with any enthusiasm. You'll learn about ways to distribute content, train people on applying the content in a contextual manner and how to empower people to be their own voice.

So far in my customary procrastination process I've managed to purchase 2 dresses, a pair of skorts online and have actually physically gone out to buy a tshirt and a pair of jeans from Uniqlo. I need to get a job as a personal shopper so that I can feel the gratification of a good buy without actually spending any money.
I've also managed to spend some time playing 2048 on my ipad. Not because I haven't solved it, but due to my obsessive personality, i have to do it over and over again just to prove that it wasn't a fluke. Set myself a new target of getting 4096 too because obviously I am a masochist. I know, I know. There's definitely a borderline personality disorder somewhere in there, but whatever floats my boat, amirite.
Well, back to work then.
