Leopard Gecko's as Pets
Selecting your gecko
In the UK nearly all leopard geckos are captive breed geckos, captive bred geckos are healthier and better acclimatized to captive housing. The chance of infection and/or parasites in a well looked after captive bred leopard gecko are extremely low so you can enjoy your pet for a long time. Purchasing a captive bred leopard gecko helps conserve them in the wild as fewer will need to be caught to supply demand.
When deciding what size leopard gecko you are getting you must take the food available into consideration. If you are not able to buy small crickets then you should not consider a hatchling gecko. Remember however you can now order food and supplements for your leopard geckos via the internet and mail order. You can check out our Reptile Directory to find a supplier who delivers to your area or for local stores.
You should check to ensure the leopard gecko you choose has all of its fingers and toes and that its eyes are not sunken. It should be reasonably stocky, be alert if gently poked with your finger, and check that their are no open wounds. You should also look out for signs that the tail has regenerated, it makes no difference to the geckos health but regenerated tails can often be slightly bent and have a less attractive pattern.
Where to get your leopard gecko
There are a number of places you can obtain your leopard gecko from these include pet stores, breeders, reptile expos and directly from the breeders.
Pet stores are a good place for those who are new to leopard geckos to start out, they are often within easy reach and allows you to talk one on one with the staff for advice and guidance before you've bought your pet and you can always call them if needed afterwards. The downside to a pet shop is they may not be able to provide you with the full details of your leopard gecko such as genetics and lineage, this is because they are 4 or 5 steps from the actual breeder so are not close to the source of information.
Around the United Kingdom at various towns and city's run reptile expos, these are gatherings of various reptile dealers, breeders and suppliers. Due to the popularity of leopard geckos they now play a major part in these gatherings and attract a diverse range of colours and types of leopard geckos. These are normally advertised on the internet or via reptile magazines.
Another alternative is to go direct to the breeder. You'll be surprised at the number of both small and large breeders in the UK. The choice of colours and attractiveness is amazing when buying directly from a dealer and you will receive full information on your geckos genetics, lineage, quirks and past health. You can find breeders by searching on google or checking classified ads in magazines. You can also try posting a message in our gecko forums so breeders can contact you.

2,400 ICT professionals are employed in Prince Edward Island in early 2015. Of them, 200 are youth aged 25 or younger, 1,100 are nearing retirement, 600 are women, and 190 are immigrants. In addition, 1,680 work in Charlottetown and another 720 work in the rest of the province in areas such as Summerside. Industries outside the ICT sector are major users of ICT products and services. The demand for top ICT talent continues to grow and has resulted in expanding career options for ICT professionals, placing competitive pressure on the employers seeking technical ICT talent. Among employed ICT professionals, 1,100 work in the ICT sector, while 1,300 work in other sectors (e.g. administration, health).
As the current ICT workforce ages, not many youth are opting for ICT careers, leaving a void that could potentially limit Prince Edward Island's future competitiveness before long. Significantly fewer youth work in ICT professions than in other jobs. In contrast, ICT professions have a greater proportion of workers in the older age groups compared to the total provincial workforce.
ICT Employment
Source: ICTC; Statistics Canada
Under three economic scenarios over a 5-year horizon, a combination of employment growth and replacement requirements produces estimates of cumulative hiring requirements. It is projected that the availability of homegrown ICT talent will not be sufficient to meet these hiring requirements. Under a baseline scenario, the combination of employment growth and replacement demand due to retirements and other exits could result in needing to fill 1,500 ICT positions over the next five years. By 2019, cumulative hiring requirements for ICT talent are expected to be over 900 in Charlottetown and 500 in rest of Prince Edward Island.

Under a contractionary scenario, hiring requirements are projected to decline to 800 compared to the baseline scenario hiring requirements of 1,500. Alternatively, in an expansionary scenario, Prince Edward Island employers will need to hire 1,600 ICT professionals. This outlook underscores the significance of accessing all available talent to address the demand-supply imbalance in ICT professions.

Demand-supply imbalances will affect some ICT occupations more than others. As a result of employment growth – combined with replacement demand due to skills mismatch, retirements, and other exits – Prince Edward Island would need to fill the following ICT positions:
- 210 computer programmers and interactive media developers
- 140 information systems analysts and consultants
- 120 graphic designers and illustrators
- 110 web designers and developers
- 110 computer and network operators and web technicians

PORTLAND — State Street has been closed from Deering Street to Cumberland Avenue as part of the continuing State Street Infrastructure Improvements work.
Installation of wastewater lines and drains, gas lines, and water mains will entirely close the intersection of State Street and Cumberland Avenue. Work will be done from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturdays.
Only local traffic will be allowed. Other motorists should use Mellen Street to travel between Park Avenue and Congress Street.
The State Street Infrastructure Improvements project will also require closing Forest Avenue between Marginal Way and the Interstate 295 interchange from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10 through 7 a.m. Monday, Nov. 13, city spokeswoman Jessica Grondin said Nov. 2

Today we approach the sweeter side of Catalonia explaining you which are some of the most delicious typical Catalan desserts. As you can imagine, each area has its own traditional recipes and the variety is huge, so we have decided to explain which are the most famous in Catalonia.
The best-known typical Catalan desserts
Made with ingredients from the earth, the typical Catalan desserts move somewhere between popular tradition and luxury: most have a humble origin and were made with ingredients that people had in their villages, like curdled milk, eggs or the almonds; Still, they soon began to introduce variants with other luxury products that were not available to everyone. Most recipes that we enjoy today are precisely those simpler, that have been passed from generation to generation and retain the traditional flavor of this land.
Crema catalana
Among the typical Catalan desserts, Catalan cream (Crema catalana) takes the position number one: It is a cream with egg, cinnamon and lemon with burned sugar above. One of the strongest points of the Catalan cream is the combination of the crunchy texture of burnt sugar and the soft cream. Delightful!
Coca de llardons
It is a cake made with pork bacon, traditionally made for Carnival Thursday, the last day before Easter that meat was allowed.
Panellets are one of the most famous Catalan typical desserts, along with the Catalan cream. These are small balls of white marzipan that is made with almond powder, sugar, egg white and lemon essence: this is the basis and, from here, there is a good variety of recipes. The most typical are those coated with pine nuts but there are also others with coconut, almonds or chocolate.
Mel i mató
This dessert is very typical of Catalan cuisine. It is made with goat or sheep fresh cheese (the mató) and the traditional way of eating is covered with honey to sweeten it, but it can also be eaten sprinkled with sugar instead of honey. There are many more typical Catalan desserts: the coca de Montserrat, carquinyolis, bunyols (donuts)... But you these four are undoubtedly the most representative of Catalonia. To delight with Catalan typical desserts, in a big city like Barcelona, is ideal. Stay in the best hostel in Barcelona and... Tell us which is your favorite dessert!

Do you have a Business with Carpet? Are you seeing all the salt or calcium chloride your customers are walking in making stains at your entrance? Here are some tips to limit this from occuring and to maintain your carpet to keep it looking good!
I know this is difficult to control, and often I hear Commercial Customers put off their cleaning because they are afraid to get them cleaned and then have people walk the deposits right back on them. However, leaving these deposits untouched can actually cause premature wear and makie the stains more difficult to clean.
1) The biggest deterent is haveing a comprehensive mat walk off program. Put a rug both outside your door and inside your door...people will have a tendacy to kick off their shoes twice with two area rugs!
2)Don't over apply the salt or calcium chloride. People tend to think using more ice melt will make it more effective. Using too much ice melt will actually make less effective and will result in more salt and sodium chloride being tracked into your business. You will want to apply an even coating after all shoveling and plowing has been completed. Putting too much ice melt down before snow will not melt the snow resulting in people tracking in both snow and ice melt.
3) Don't wait to have your carpets cleaned. Leaving them uncleaned will result in premature wear and possible damage to your carpet. Have a scheduled maintenance plan with your prefessional carpet cleaner. Chem-Dry by the Millers will offer a discounted follow up on your traffic areas if you need it re-done in a shorter time plan
Chem-Dry by the Millers also offers discounted maintenance programs. Do you want a customer coming in, looking at your floor and thinking "this place is filthy, this is the last time we are coming here" Advantages of having your carpets cleaned more frequently by us:
-The Longer your carpets will last
-The better your carpets will look, leaving a better impression on your customer
-The more frequent your program is, the lower the costs of the cleaning
For more information or to schedule a free commercial carpet, Tile & Grout, or Upholstery cleaning estimate feel free to call us at 1-800-378-4030 or visit our website at www.cdbythemillers.com

NOFOMA is a society of Nordic researchers within the logistics field, which holds a conference annually, that brings together scholars from the Nordic countries, as well as other countries beyond this region. Two representatives from the Namibian-German Centre for Logistics (NGCL), Prof Kenneth Odero, Academic Director and Ronak Warasthe, Project Coordinator, attended the event in order to strengthen the Centre's relationship with the Scandinavian research community and to find potential project partners.
The pair was accompanied by Marcus Brandenburg, Professor of Logistics and Supply Chain Management from the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), who works closely with NGCL. Prof Odero presented his paper titled "Developing a Framework for Measuring Logistics and Supply Chain Performance."
The paper proposes a framework for measuring performance of the Logistics and Supply Chain system in Namibia. Prof Odero argues that supply chain networks are constantly and rapidly evolving, theory and practice have lagged behind, particularly in the domain of performance assessment and evaluation of logistics and supply chain systems. "Yet, there are many benefits that stand to be gained from agile, competitive, and sustainable supply chains," Odero says. He adds that the proposed framework provides a clear pathway towards better understanding and hopefully, improved logistics and supply chain management and performance. This would ultimately lead to Namibia's vision of a competitive logistics nation in southern Africa.
Aspects that were addressed by other researchers at the conference include humanitarian logistics; service and healthcare logistics; and retail and e-tail logistics.

Following up the raids in Sadr City; Maliki did approve of the raids
The primary target of the joint Iraqi and U.S. raid inside Sadr city on October 25 was directed as Mahdi Army commander Abu Dura (or Abu Deraa), a death squad leader believed to be responsible for some of the worst sectarian killing in and around Baghdad. The initial raid led to a follow on operation in Sadr City, after "credible intelligence indicating that criminals involved in the kidnapping of a US Soldier were located in a Sadr City mosque" was although it is unclear if this intelligence was obtained during the initial raid. Note the Coalition now believes the Mahdi Army may be complicit in the kidnapping of an American soldier – an incident that will only increase the pressure on Sadr.
At the initial target – a Sadr City residence believed to be hiding Abu Dura – 10 Mahdi Army fighters were killed, 2 were wounded and 10 captured, In the follow on raid at the mosque, three Mahdi Army fighters were killed. No Iraqi troops or Coalition forces casualties were taken during the fights.
The raid was lead by the 1st Iraqi Special Operations Forces, and supported by U.S. embedded trainers and air assets. The 1st Iraqi SOF reports directly to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who initially protested the raid and claimed he wasn't aware of it. Maliki has since backtracked from this statement, and now claims "the raid had his backing but argued that it was conducted in a heavy handed way that could wreck a political deal he had worked on with Muqtada al-Sadr," according to Reuters.
Maliki has to walk the line as a politician, and as an Iraqi politician has his Iraqi constituents to consider at times. He must not always be seen as being in lockstep with the Americans/Coalition, particularly when Iraqis are killed. Richard Fernandez sums up Maliki's dilemma nicely:
Legally Iraq is a sovereign country, which the US must treat it as any other country from the perspective of US national interest. Theoretically Maliki is under no obligation to obey Washington, which is correspondingly under no compulsion to support Maliki. While America would prefer to see a stable government in Iraq that is ultimately a task that cannot be delegated to Americans indefinitely. So expect some hardball to be played as this is the way of relations between nations. That said, Maliki's statements imply he values American support less necessary than the goodwill of his Shi'ite base. Or that he perceives Shi'ite support as so important that he's willing to risk American goodwill. How solid that Shi'ite base will prove is open to question.
He also must be concerned with the very real threat that Sadr's Mahdi Army possesses to his and his family's safety. Sadr is not above the art of assassination. An Iraqi judge issued an arrest warrant for Sadr for his role in the murder of Abdul Majid al-Khoei, the influential, pro-American Shiite Cleric, at the steps of the Imam Ali mosque in Najaf. This warrant is still outstanding. Sadr has evaded this charge, as well as responsibility for the uprising in Najaf and southern Iraq and Baghdad during the spring and summer of 2004.

Adventures In Japanese is a best-selling series of textbooks (with teacher's guides) for learners of Japanese.
The series was started by a Japanese teacher in Hawaii, Hiromi Peterson, who was frustrated with dull textbooks full of irrelevant, dry Japanese words and phrases. The books are now used by high schools all over the US and Canada, and at US military bases in Japan.
Usually I review books aimed at the solo-learner, or at least books that are designed for self-study as a supplement to attending Japanese lessons. Adventures In Japanese is different, because it's very much designed as a textbook for classroom use. It's a hardback book, 11 by 8.5 inches and it's pretty heavy so you won't be popping it in your backpack before strolling to a quiet park for a casual read. Having said that, it's an outstanding textbook for beginners, so I'm going to go into it in a bit more detail than the other books I review.
Although it's sold as a high school textbook it's actually works well as a textbook for self-study. The book is written for complete beginners and the explanations are clear enough to understand without a native speaker of Japanese helping you. There's even a companion website with audio, vocabulary lists, flashcards and worksheets.
Studying from a big, full-color textbook is infinitely more enjoyable than using a cramped, black-and-white paperback book. The publisher, Cheng & Tsui, has gone all-out for quality as far as production and layout are concerned. Most of the 462 pages have color photos and/or color illustrations. This makes the book feel really lively and engaging. But far more importantly, color is used in the text to make vocabulary stand out and to highlight grammatical parts of sentences and individual words.
The book is organized into 12 lessons, each with a review section that's very helpful if you don't have a teacher. The first 4 lessons include the English spellings for Japanese words written in hiragana words(Romanji) so you need to make sure you can read hiragana confidently before continuing onto lesson 5. And after lesson 8 there are no English spellings for Japanese words written in katakana, so again, you'll need to be comfortable with reading katakana before you move onto lesson 9.
The 12 lessons include typical topics for a beginner but do remember this is a book intended for American high school students so certain practical topics (such as sightseeing and ordering in a restaurant) are not included.
The 12 lesson topics are:
- Konnichiwa (Hello!)
- Nonhongo-no-kyoushitsu (Japanese Classroom)
- Kazoku (Family)
- Mainichi (Everyday Life)
- Shumi (Hobbies)
- Tokchou (Characteristics)
- Douyoubi (Saturday)
- Gakkou (School)
- Kamoku (School Subjects)
- O-Genki Desu Ka? (How are you?)
- Kaimono (Shopping)
- Ranchitaimu (Lunch Time)
Each lesson is divided into 5 to 7 short sections containing vocabulary, dialogues, conversation exercises and grammar. The book progresses quite slowly and vocabulary from previous lessons is reused so it's paced perfectly for a beginner.
There's an introductory section that covers the three Japanese scripts, Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. The introduction also provides advice on Japanese pronunciation. At the end of the book there are 8 useful appendices:
- Counters
- Abbreviations of Grammar Terms
- Japanese-English Glossary
- English-Japanese Glossary
- Hiragana
- Katakana
- Kanji
- Map of Japan
Kanji characters are introduced throughout the book so that by the time you've finished you'll be able to read and write 60 of the most useful kanji. The stroke order is given, along with the common reading of the kanji. Another 10 or so kanji are included for reading only; you're not taught how to write the extra ones.
The 1st time each kanji appears it is shown with furigana above it. Furigana is the kana above a kanji that tells you how to read it. Personally I think it's better to have the furigana below every instance of a kanji character. That way the furigana is there if you need it but you can cover it with a ruler or piece of paper once you've memorized the reading of the kanji.
One interesting feature of Adventures In Japanese is that it contains notes and tasks on Japanese culture. Presumably these tasks would be set as homework for American high school students. A typical task would be to research the differences between Japanese traditional holidays and those of the US. If you're a solo-learner living outside Japan you'll find the cultural tasks are good to keep you motivated. There are also cultural projects such as making rice balls, learning a Japanese song and making an origami crane.
Overall, Adventures In Japanese would be a great choice if you're just starting to learn Japanese and want a thorough grounding in reading and writing as well as speaking and listening. It's a fantastic and comprehensive textbook that will keep you motivated while you master the basics.
Adventures In Japanese is $69.99 from the publishers, http://www.cheng-tsui.com or you can save 10% ($7) by ordering it from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Japanese-Edition-Volume-Textbook/dp/1622910567/

"You know someone or something first before loving them.
Loving takes acceptance of what you know too.
Pag sinabi mo na mahal mo... di selective ang pagmamahal... di rin conditional."
Anything about love is bound to generate some sort of reactions from anyone. After reading Cha's blog (obviously I'm trying to procrastinate again here!), I found myself thinking (or should I say reflecting) in her words of wisdom. True, real loving comes from a realization that you know someone well enough to give your heart to them. Though I believe that love at first sight can happen, generally it does not. Or maybe I just never experienced it yet. I've always believed that love grows with knowing someone. And more than just knowing, it grows out of learning that the other may not be perfect yet you still love the person, just the way they are. No matter how high your standards are, the person you choose to love will always be an exception to the rule.
Love is also a matter of timing. In the right time and at the right place it will bloom. I guess our time just havent come up yet.
It's quite hard this art of loving. You're bound to feel hurt at one point or another. Karen told me once that no man is worth your tears because the one who really loves you will make sure you don't cry. I realized now that tears will always be there. And I'm reminded of my liking for roses with thorns-- one can never promise a garden of eternal bliss. There will always be thorns in your garden but if you can look past the thorns, that's when you will know that miracles do happen. Ganun din ang pagibig-- dadating ang araw na paiiyakin ka niya o paiiyakin mo siya o kaya naman mabwibwiset ka ng husto kasi parang walang kamatayang paghihintay.. Pero may araw din na gugulatin ka ng tadhana na yung inaantay mo buong buhay mo, andyan lang pala sa tabi mo. Funny how life can be quite ironic at times.
You can't force someone to love you. All you can do is love them with all your heart and let them go. I realized that love has always been with me, not necessarily in the packaging I want but it's still there. And even if someone does not love you in the way you want them to, it doesn't mean they don't. They just love you in a different way.
Tama si Cha.. mahal nga kita.

Facebook to boost VR in Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: Social media giant Facebook unveiled two new programmes for startups and engineering students in India. Aiming at promoting new-age technologies like virtual reality (VR). The two programmes –India Innovation Hub (in partnership with T-hub) and School of Innovation (with Startup Village Collective).
India has the largest base of developers building with Facebook outside the US. "The partnerships demonstrate our commitment to contribute to India's innovation ecosystem. Making emerging technologies like VR a part of daily life". Facebook Head of Platform Partnerships (India and South Asia) Satyajeet Singh told PTI.
These programmes are designed to help unlock the potential of advanced technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR).
In partnership with T-Hub, the India Innovation Hub will work with 10 VR focused startups. This will help accelerate their businesses in new and innovative ways. They said in a statement here on the eve of Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) held in Hyderabad, India.
2018 already looks bright for VR in India
Each start-up will get access to training, mentors, workshops, research and Facebook's VR Innovation lab as part of the six-month accelerator programme. Applications for the Innovation Hub programme will be open from January 2018. The first programme will begin in early 2018. They are also introducing the School of Innovation programme in partnership with Startup Village Collective. The teams will participate in a 20-week program. Which includes online and in-person learning to progress their idea. And build a low and high-fidelity prototype and finally launch to customers.
"At Facebook, we are committed to investing in the future of India's digital economy. This helps them grow and learn from each other," said Satyajeet Singh.
"The partnership will drive radical change in the start-up ecosystem. We encourage Facebook's efforts to support and mentor start-ups. Helping them explore the possibilities of future technologies such as VR. As the VR ecosystem in India takes shape, we are committed to working towards accelerating its success. We will help startups in this space solve India's challenges," said Jay Krishnan, Chief Executive Officer, T-Hub.

South African Hanli Prinsloo travels the world to capture images of life in the sea. She gives public talks about falling in love with the ocean, a necessary step to protect it. She also heads I Am Water, an organisation that teaches children about ocean conservation.
Besides running projects to teach children about ocean conservation in South Africa, Hanli Prinsloo also works in Bermuda and Ecuador. As part of her desire to educate people about marine life, she makes films about protecting sharks (Image: Screengrab via YouTube)
Compiled by Melissa Javan
The success of each of the 17 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) would be the success of all, Hanli Prinsloo recently said at the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The 17 SDGs include no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, and affordable and clean energy. They were agreed for the world by the United Nations in August to continue from the Millennium Development Goals.
Prinsloo, the chief executive officer of I Am Water Ocean Conservation Trust, said Goal 14 – on "life below water" – resonated with why she devoted her life and work to ocean conservation. "But as a woman and an African, every single one of the 17 SDGs will affect some part of my life," she wrote on the WEF's site.
Prinsloo is an 11 times South African freediving record holder, filmmaker and avid ocean adventurer. In a TED Talk, she said: "I am nothing without the water inside me and the water around me."
TED began in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged. Today TED Talks cover almost all topics, from science to business to global issues. It is owned by a non-profit, non-partisan foundation that believes in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.
Prinsloo reminded her TED audience that one's body consisted of more than 70% water. "This is even though we focus on air moving in and out of us, we are water. We move around in a world of air so we believe we are air.
"Now we have become so used to breathing that we think it's all we've done. But our first nine months of our lives we were in a watery world and we were born into this fantastically exciting world of smells and sights and sounds and air. All this air around us and then we forget about that watery world we come from," she added.
Using just one breathe, Prinsloo said, she could swim to a depth of 56m in the ocean, just using her arms and legs. "On one breathe I've held my breath in water for over six minutes and I am not the best in the world. Using weights to assist us and floatation devices to come back up, free divers have been down to up to 200m.
"The most difficult thing I have learned is to trust myself and to trust what my body can do in water… The world record for men is over 11 minutes and that is not breathing pure oxygen. We know water; your body remembers water there's a memory of water in us that we have just forgotten."
She challenged the audience to "spend some time in the water inside of you, in the water we have at our disposal and yes come on in the water is good".
"We are representatives of the ocean. I even see that with people who can't swim who stand there and say to me: 'I can't swim but I love staring at the ocean.' If you are an ocean gazer or explorer you've got that in you."
Watch Prinsloo pledge to protect the ocean, and explain why she was moved to do so:
In her report to the WEF, Prinsloo spoke about a study by the WWF and the Zoological Society of London, which said 40% of marine populations had halved since 1970. Many of the fish humans ate had posted a staggering 74% drop in population.
"Oceans are the lifeblood," she stressed. "Not only do 2.6 billion people depend on them for their primary source of protein, but more than half of the oxygen in the atmosphere is produced by the salty masses, while they absorb over 30% of CO2."
Chapter 5 of South Africa's National Development Plan talks about protecting and enhancing the country's environmental assets and natural resources. Prinsloo's activism promotes this outcome of the plan. But it is not only a national issue; Goal 14 of the SDGs, she pointed out, had seven main targets, including a reduction of all kinds of marine pollution. It particularly mentioned land activities that resulted in marine pollution. Another target focused on community fishing practices and poverty.
"As an ocean advocate, I have to believe that we can achieve SDG14."
More needed to be done to improve collaboration on this issue, especially between non-governmental organisations and governments, stakeholders and activists. "We know the challenges. The hard work now is to ensure that we work together to achieve the SDG14 targets – for the sake of the ocean and the planet."
I Am Water Ocean Conservation Trust was founded in South Africa in 2010. Its mandate is that humans and nature cannot survive without each other. "We believe ocean degradation is fundamentally due to human disconnect," reads its website, "and the way to change the course for our oceans is engaging and educating individuals on their role for a healthy planet."
The aim for Prinsloo and her team is to make people fall in love with the ocean so that they will want to protect it. The trust's projects include taking children from previously disadvantaged communities such as Masiphumelele township in Cape Town to the beach, teaching them to swim, and educating them about marine life and how to protect the ocean.
Another project is raising awareness of the plight of shark populations around the world.

Join Ben and Lewis as they take a look at the biggest film of the year, Avengers: Infinity War, and a brief glance at the second seasons of Westworld and Legion…
The Minimum Effort Ep.18: Infinity War and RebelsStandard
Join Ben and Lewis for a high-energy, in-your-face, rollercoaster-ride of a podcast, that definitely wasn't recorded at 11pm on a Friday night… A belated review of Star Wars Rebels season 4 and a good ol' trailer talk about Infinity War await within…
The Minimum Effort Ep.17: Black Panther and Oscar BaitStandard
Welcome back to the Minimum Effort Podcast! Join Ben and Lewis as they discuss the very, VERY interesting and definitely not irrelevant Oscars results, and the triumphant movement that is Black Panther, with only minimal Star Wars discussion…
The Minimum Effort Ep.16: 2018, baby!Standard
Join Ben and Lewis for a belated look forward to the glamorous gifts of film and TV that are coming our way in 2018- both the good and the bad…
The Minimum Effort Ep.15: The Last JediStandard
This is it, the moment we've been waiting for for almost two years… The Last Jedi premiered last week and boy was it a big surprise!
Come and join Ben and Lewis as they discuss the film, consider its place in the franchise, and wonder how this will affect the future of Star Wars…
The Force Awakens- The Good and the BadStandard
So with The Last Jedi only a few days away we decided to write another couple of reviews for the latest additions to the Star Wars filmography. As before we are going to do 5 good points and 5 bad points, unless you are Lewis and cop out and only do 4. So, enough with all the preamble you are here for some strong opinions and a witty banter (Lewis, make sure you make it witty while you're editing). Here it is- my review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (TFA for convenience, I don't want to write more than I have to).
We'll start with the good shall we?
The Good
A good start to a new trilogy – Ok, so I know that this film is essentially A New Hope 2.0 (I'll get round to this later) but this film has got to cover 30 years of Star Wars history, appease returning fans, and introduce new film goers to the Star Wars Universe, and you know what, TFA does a bloody good job. The film is funny and rooted in Star Wars law for returning fans (there are some questionable decisions but hold your horse I'll get round to them) while being accessible enough for your Nan to watch and have a good idea what's going on. The film tells you what you need to know, leaves hidden what needs to be hidden, and asked questions that left me wanting more and has led to some truly fantastic theories.
Practical Effects – After the CGI disaster that was the prequel trilogy, a decision was made to bypass CGI wherever possible making use of practical effects, animatronics, puppets and actors in costumes. This was one of the most welcome things about TFA. I know CGI has come a very long way since 2005, but even in films today average CGI looks awful, see Justice League and parts of Thor: Ragnarok. Obviously practical effects can't do everything but the blend of puppets, make up, and costume with green screen and motion capture was truly brilliant here.
The Rey/Kylo duel – Right, so, the climactic duel of TFA definitely doesn't have the emotion of the duels seen in the original trilogy; however, the duel was able to find and almost perfect balance between the stylised, over choreographed performances seen in the prequels, the Obi-Wan/Anakin duel on Mustafa in particular, and the wood chopping heavy swinging style seen in the originals. This balanced fighting style makes the duel a fast-paced spectacle without all the unnecessary twirling around.
Casting and performance – The film introduced three new heroes to the Star Wars world and all of them were great, I really, really enjoy Oscar Isaac and John Boyega in this film, their shared screen time, although brief, is funny, engaging, and believable. Daisy Ridley really grows into the film (more later) and by the end she gives a really terrific performance, you would hardly know she was a relatively inexperienced actor at the time of filming. We also see some returning favourites, Han Solo is back playing (spoilers) the Ben Kenobi role, and Ford does it well. Probably only because he knew it was a one off return and that he would finally get the character killed off, something he has been after since The Empire Strikes Back.
Writing – This is my last 'Good point' and it very much echoes my first; the film, for the most part, is well written, it is quick, slick, funny, and most importantly accessible. The movie re-introduces a lost world enabling people that have never seen Star War before to sit in a screening and understand and hopefully enjoy what is unfolding on screen.
The Bad
Daisy Ridley – I said there would be more later, there have been stories from the set of TFA that JJ Abrams wasn't particularly happy with Daisy Ridley during the early days of filming, and if the film was shot from beginning to end (starting on Jakku, then moving to Maz's, before finishing on Starkiller) I can see why. Ridley's performance is by no means Christensen bad, but it is wooden and it did take me out of the film a bit. After about 20 minutes of screen time I could feel the difference in the performance, and after finishing the film strongly as well as coming off the back of Murder on the Orient Express I expect a big performance in The Last Jedi.
Derivative – Ok, so this is the big one, the "it's just A New Hope 2.0" argument, that the films' success is based on nostalgia and so on. I don't really buy into this but ok yeah I'll take your point and run with it. There are similarities, the big weapon that can destroy planets and the resistance (which I always thought was a stupid name for the army of the government), the use of a desert planet, and the main character wanting to leave it to name a few, and yes TFA does run very much like A New Hope, but I think the characters are different and interesting, the story takes different twists along the way and despite being set a long time ago in a galaxy far away there is only a certain amount of things you can do with a Star Wars film. When re-watching TFA there are definite similarities to A New Hope, but I don't buy into the idea that the film's similarity to one of its predecessors was entirely a bad thing- perhaps just a little disappointing. The similarities didn't ruin my experience, because you know what I was too bloody busy enjoying myself. That being said the X-wing attack on Starkiller isn't great, it is really only a means of showing us that the base was destroyed.
Toying with the lore – This is a bit more of a fan complaint than a proper film criticism, there are a lot of liberties taken with the Star Wars lore. You know how Luke seems to become a capable Jedi after what seems like 2 days in The Empire Strikes back, well in this film it takes Rey about half an hour to develop her abilities enough to beat Kylo Ren. There are many counter arguments to this, Kylo was shot, he wasn't trying to kill her etc. but I think the film would have taken a much more interesting turn if she got her arse handed to her and perhaps Han dies saving her. There are also some bizarre new abilities including Kylo's mind-walk trick and blaster-freezing abilities. These will probably be explained away in The Last Jedi.
Maz – I spoke about the practical effects earlier, now it is time for the CGI stuff, Maz in particular, because Snoke is only seen through a fuzzy hologram thing. Maz does look out of place in this film, I am not really sure why the choice was made to have a computer generated orange alien wandering round an almost entirely practical set but there we go.
The last point(s) –This isn't a cop out, if anything it is a cop in, I am just putting a few smaller points in together. Firstly C3PO, the walking exposition machine strikes again. Can we please stop putting C3PO in every Star Wars film, to be honest I didn't recognise him at first because of the red arm… see what I did there? But really the character is just an annoyance, he doesn't serve a purpose- STOP PUTTING HIM IN THE FILMS.
Secondly, the miracle of R2D2 waking up exactly when needed. R2 could have been functioning with half the map, the droid didn't need to be in low power mode, it was a strange choice to have him in low power mode, I can't really figure out why it was done, it didn't add anything to the story, and, much like this point, dragged the film out unnecessarily. Lastly, bin the Rathtar sequence, it didn't add anything to the film, find another, quicker, way for Han to accept Rey and Finn. By binning the Rathtars some of the irritating hanging questions, like the Luke lightsaber one, can be answered.
Alrighty, that's it, my 5 good and a few more than 5 bad points about TFA. You are probably all still shouting at how I glossed over the derivative point, but hey, if it pisses you off that much you go ahead and have a shout- it's really good for our stats. Boycott The Last Jedi for all I care… but I know you won't because deep down you do like this film.
Anyway, thanks for giving this a read, if you want to get in touch with us follow us on Twitter or on Facebook, and if you want to hear our lovely voices why not take a look at the new and ever so slightly improved podcast? We are bound to review The Last Jedi so keep an eye out for that.
Thanks for reading guys,
You are NOT the Father!Standard
With The Last Jedi set to hit cinemas in just a few days, fans of Star Wars are excited to see what Rian Johnson and co have in store for us with the new movie. One of the chief plot threads set to be explored is the parentage of humble scavenger Rey- who are her elusive parents, and why did they leave her on Jakku? I will now take a look at a few of the many possibilities, and will rank them according to their likelihood (in this fan's humble opinion, at least).
1: Luke Skywalker and X
At face value, this seems like the obvious answer. Luke, like Rey, is strong in the force, and both followed similar paths in A New Hope and The Force Awakens respectively. Furthermore, the Star Wars saga has always followed a Skywalker, and so it would make sense for the main character to be a Skywalker, right? Add in the fact that the Skywalker lightsaber called to Rey, and it seems like a slam dunk. Well, unfortunately it doesn't seem that simple. For starters, it can be argued that Kylo Ren, the grandson of Anakin Skywalker, fulfils the role of lead Skywalker in this trilogy. Secondly, JJ Abrams has stated that Rey's parents did not appear in Episode XII, and while he could be lying, I feel inclined to believe him at this time. Finally, it seems out of character for Luke to have both fathered and abandoned a child, even after the destruction of his new Jedi order (I'll mention more on that later). It is clear that Luke recognises Rey on Ach'to, but for now at least, exactly why remains a mystery.
Likelihood: 7 midichlorians out of 10
2: Han Solo and Leia Organa
Another popular theory suggests that Rey is in fact a Solo, and the sister of Ben. There are strong narrative advantages to this theory- direct relatives fighting one another on opposite sides of the war is a tried and tested storytelling mechanic, with great effect. Futhermore, this would go some lengths to explain the apparent connection that exists between Rey and Kylo- both seem able to tease information out of the other, Kylo sees the ocean and the island (Ach'to?) in Rey's mind, while Rey sees Kylo's fear of not matching up to Vader. Another, often overlooked, bonus to this theory is that it does not require the introduction of any new characters, which allows it to be much cleaner in terms of plot threads and continuity. However, the big cross next to this theory comes from the canon novel Bloodline, set six years before Episode XII. A not-yet-fallen Ben Solo is mentioned several times, and yet there is no mention of another sibling at all, let alone one matching the description of Rey. Of course, it could simply be a lie of omission, but in that case, why not release it after the reveal, preserving the continuity? The way the scene between Han and Maz at her castle is framed makes it likely that Han knew who Rey was, but with the presence of Bloodline it seems unlikely that it is a familial connection.
Likelihood: 4 midichlorians out of 10 (8 out of 10 without Bloodline)
3: Grandaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi
My personal favourite theory, (if for no other reason than because Obi-Wan is one of my favourite characters) and one that took a big boost with the announcement of the Kenobi anthology film, this is one that requires a bit more explaining. The theory suggests that Obi-Wan had a child while in exile, who in turn had Rey. Supporting evidence comes from hearing the voices of both Alec Guiness and Ewan McGregor (who recorded new lines) in the lightsaber-induced vision, the only characters to do so. As it was Old Ben who owned the lightsaber for the longest, and then passed it on to Luke, his appearance in the vision appears to make sense. Furthermore, it allows a well recognised and beloved character to remain relevant to the new trilogy, and explains Rey's accent in the Force Awakens (meanwhile fellow Brit John Boyega had to change his for the role). This theory also satisfies Abrams' "not in Episode XII" comment, while also providing hints for the audience. However, even a staunch Rey Kenobi believer like myself has to admit there are flaws to the theory. Several new characters would have to be introduced, which would potentially make the subsequent films messy, and question marks would arise as to why Kenobi never mentioned a child. This theory does fit, at least from a certain point of view.
Likelihood: 6 midichlorians of 10
4: Students of Luke's Academy
The most plausible of all fan theories, simply due to its flexibility, is that one or both of Rey's parents were students in Luke's new Jedi Order before its destruction. This would explain most of the main cast's familiarity with Rey (at least after some coaxing), while satisfying the Abrams rule and avoiding many of the pitfalls of the theories above. This would explain some of the visions in the lightsaber vision, such as the Knights of Ren and Luke with R2-D2. Her parents would have likely been killed by Kylo and his gang, fulfilling Maz's "prophecy" about them never coming back. The only flaw with the theory comes from Rey's abandonment on Jakku (Why does everybody want to go back to Jakku?!). Once again, Bloodline puts a spanner in the works, however, as Ben's fall to the dark side and the subsequent destruction of the new Jedi Order would have happened a minimum of six years before the Force Awakens, a long time after Rey arrived on Jakku (in the vision she appears to be a maximum of seven years old). It is possible that Rey's birth was against the Jedi code, and that is why she was hidden away- but in that case, why not send her to somewhere a little more hospitable (Luke at least stayed with his family on Tatooine)? Overall, though, this is the most likely scenario regarding Rey's lineage.
Likelihood: 8 midichlorians out of 10
A lot of other theories have been floated around, such as Sabine/Ezra, Qui Gon/Shmi and Cienna/Thane (and recently Iden Versio, but as I havent played the new Battlefront yet I am unqualified to comment), but they largely all suffer from the same problem- a lack of familiarity to a casual audience. When my Nan eventually sits down to watch The Last Jedi, she is not going to have any idea who these people are, and perhaps quite rightly. As much as Star Wars is about its expanded universe, the main series films still have to be accessible to a more general audience. Even spin offs, such as Rogue One and the new Kenobi anthology are on thin ice in this regard. Someone shouldn't be forced to do research to understand a major plot point- that's simply poor storytelling, and LucasFlim and Disney undoubtedly know this. So, unless the character appears in a live-action movie, they're not Rey's parent.
I hope you enjoyed my list- if you have any other theories or would like to fact check me, please leave a comment below!

Brazil: Commercialization of Monsanto's "Roundup-Ready Soybeans Stopped

Greenpeace welcomed the Brazilian judicial decision of requesting fully environmental impact assessmont for the release of GMOs
(Sao Paulo, June 22, 1999) - The 6th Federal Court, in Brasilia, has decided yesterday to require a full environmental impact assessment prior the plant and commercialisation of the "Roundup Ready" transgenic soya by Monsanto, accepting a demand presented by Greenpeace and a consumer right's defence NGO. The decision will practically impede the expected release of the transgenic crops in the environment for the next growing season, which begins in September/October.
According to the judicial decision, Monsanto is prohibited to commercialise the GE seeds until the government has regulated and defined the rules of biosafety and labelling of GMOs. It is also suspended the plant, in commercial scale, of the referred product until "being clarified the technical doubts presented by respected researchers regarding possible faults of the CTN-Bio (National Technical Commission on Biosafety) in reference to the request for a deregulamentation study for the RR soya."
The Ministers of Agriculture, Science and Technology, Environment and Health were specially summoned to do not give any new authorisation for commercialisation of GE crops to Monsanto before being accomplished the judicial determinations. The judge has also suspended the authorisations which have been given until now;
"We believe this decision is a huge victory for those who are concerned with the impacts of trangenicos in the environment and public health", says Karen Suassuana, from Greenpeace Brazil. "This fact opens now a world-wide precedent for the necessity of an environmental impact assessment of the GE crops".
Monsanto will have the right to ask for the court to review its decision, by presenting new arguments. "I think it is almost impossible the judge change his mind. His position is clear in the statement", says Ms. Suassuna "Monsanto certainly will not time to change the decision in order to plant its RR soya for the new growing season".

7 September 2014
Amelia Womack's debut speech as Deputy Leader. The speech was delivered at the Green Party's Autumn Party Conference at Conference Aston.
ON behalf of Shahrar and I, it's a pleasure to address you as deputy leader at such an exciting time in our party's history. I'd like to extend a very warm welcome to all of those members who are joining us at Green Party conference for the very first time – this is our biggest conference ever and it is playing out to be our best yet.
I would also like to thank everyone who voted for us – our party is built on our members. Through engaging with our democracy, developing our policy and being the faces of the party on the doorstep then it's you – our members and volunteers – whose hard work and dedication have made the party what it is today, and made the current green surge possible.
And your engagement is vital. We're living in a time of overwhelming voter apathy where just 34% of people turned-out to vote in the recent European Elections. People are disillusioned with politics and parties that work around the edges of policy to make something "less bad". They are looking for a party that is striving for systemic changes that will make another world possible.
For years, Greens have been calling for massive, fundamental changes to the way that our society and economy operates.
But the extent to which we need radical change in Britain is clearer now than ever: a change for equality, and a change for the common good.
As a result, when people choose policies rather than parties – The Green Party consistently leads the way.
This is because people are passionate about our vision. No-one wants want to see their NHS auctioned off the highest bidder. People are frustrated at cuts to public services when companies such as Amazon don't pay tax, and they are forced to fight fracking even though we all know there are better and safer energy alternatives.
Our commitment to social and economic justice shows that the Green Party is more than an environmental party: we are the only Party tackling the tough issues of the times such as austerity, youth emancipation and spiralling inequality.
And we lead the debate on these issues. Our policies capture the imaginations of the public. Our policies set the agenda rather than chase the opinion of the electorate.
66% of people want our railways renationalised, 64% of people want our minimum wage to be a living wage, 81% people want a reduction in air pollution and 66% of people want more social housing. These are Green Party policies.
It was funny – the other day I logged on to Facebook to see Owen Jones talking about these very issues. I was pretty excited to hear him talking about Green Party policies.....however they were really his aspirations for the Labour Party... but increasingly Labour party members are realising that if you want your party to represent the 99%, if you want your party to campaign for the future of the NHS and if you don't want your leader to hold up copies of the Sun then you need to be involved in a party that actually respects the opinions of its membership.
But it is not only disaffected Labour and even Lib Dem activists and voters that we are appealing to.
The Green Party has the policies, the vision, and the conviction to inspire previous non-voters to turn out and vote. Our elected representatives such as Caroline Lucas are proving that the Green Party isn't afraid of opposing Westminster's status quo – and represents the views of the people.
We are proving that there is more to politics than business as usual. That not all politicians are "in it for themselves" and that politicians don't have to be part of the elite and can work at the grass roots to strive for a better future for all rather than a better today for politicians.
Our approach resonates with those left out by modern politics, and proves that "voter apathy" is a symptom of out of touch politicians fighting on the middle ground, appealing only to the marginal voter, all within the constraints of pleasing the Murdoch press.
The solution to voter apathy is to give people community leadership. Democratic decision making that focuses on the long term future, of our country and our planet.
Young people are central to any vision of the future. Yet these are the very people who are so often overlooked in politics, brushed aside and ignored by politicians, because they know they can get away with it.
Other parties think they can get away with forcing young people to bear the worst of austerity Britain. Massive tuition fees, cuts to education maintenance allowance, proposals to abolish job seekers allowance for young people, the prospect of a lifetime of low paid, low skilled, insecure employment while saddled with tens of thousands of pounds of debt for doing nothing more than seeking a decent education.
It is only the Green Party who offer a real future for young people.
We are fighting for free education, for a right to rent and even a citizens income – which will provide people an opportunity to strive for quality employment.
That's why a poll last week put the Green Party at a record 18% of the youth vote.
And it is why young people are flooding into the Green Party – with a massive 70% - that's seven zero percent – increase in the Young Greens membership since the start of this year.
Our policies make voting "worth it" for young people. With our deal on the table, they do not need to ignore politics any longer.
And these are the aspirational policies that will drive the social and political change of the 21st century.
We can, and we must, inspire a new generation that is politically engaged, and inspired to tackle the massive problems facing our world.
More and more young people see the impending climate and ecological crises and are joining with us in the Green Party. Together, we can work for the common good. It is our future, and our children's future, and we must not let self-interested political and business interests from selling us down the line.
Shahrar and I being elected reminds me of a line from a speech by political commentator Caroline Heldman. I hope you will forgive me for repeating it now: You are the architects of your future. Sometimes, architects need to destroy paradigms in order to build a better world. What better world would you build?

Guess what? Can't? Well how could you not? Have I not hinted enough? You may, or may not, know that I have been in my current job for over 8 years. Let that sink in a bit.....I handed in my notice this month. Want to know why? I am going to start working at the Emirates Airlines Festival of Literature - EAFOL. A mental image now folks. Flick flacks, cartwheels, and a whole loud lung full of "Yee Ha's". You may remember me waxing lyrical HERE and HERE about the festival.
|The Winning team that I am joining.
|I am in there at the back there somewhere
For several years now I have taken leave to attend the EAFOL, first as a visitor and then as a volunteer. The EAFOL has been a little bit of heaven in my year. I am the "luckiest of fish". In my part of the world the term "Lucky Fish" refers to a person who is blessed with good fortune. It evokes a feeling of happiness and excitement. I am not going to delve into the origins of the phrase as frankly I dont know what they are. I am going to use it with the child like joy that I feel when I think about my good fortune.
I have several little bits of heaven in my year. I get the EAFOL, I do my library duty at The Old Library, once a week on a Saturday afternoon, and from time to time I get to be on the radio show, " Talking of Books". You could say I am a bit of a bibliophile. You can only imagine what it feels like to be in a position to be able to say I am going to work for the Emirates Airlines Literature Festival. It is like being given my own personal rainbow to follow me around all year. Having the opportunity to work with a team of people that I have come to know and admire over the years has gone a long way to making the move from the secure and comfortable position I have had at Meydan to something new easy. Well the nature of the work is not new I guess and I do know many of the team already.... so it is more like getting into something comfortable that I know I will love.
|At the Talking of Books lunch.
The EAFOL offices are in the historically atmospheric neighborhood of Al Shindagha. The creek is within catching a sniff of salty breeze distance. In other words the creek is on our doorstep.
I can make the trip to work ,all the way, via the metro. So convenient don't you think? I can read, learn words, listen to podcasts or music for an hour or so on my way to work. Honestly it just could not be better.

They also involve dreams. I am up to my eyebrows what with one thing and another. The "Queens of Drama Festival" is starting to hot up. Keep dates free in the middle of September. This was an idea I had mulling about which I mentioned in passing to a friend and which gathered momentum and is now coming to fruition thanks to the support of the founders of the soon to open dramatic art space 'The Junction". Thank you, Guatam, Arjun and Rashmi. The QOD festival will be the inaugural event at The Junction so no pressure there right?
And then there is "Lady Bracknell". I wanted this role so badly I came out of "acting retirement" so that I could have a go. The "Importance of of Being Ernest" , being staged by Dubai Drama Group and directed by Olivia Middleton , goes on later in October.
How lucky am I to have all these dreams all happening. It is a bit of a mess that they are all taking place back to back, but what can I do? This is how life has panned out and I simply cannot miss out on any of it.
|me as lady B?
Oh, that is not the end of it. I have been warned that from September to the end of the Literature Festival, which runs between the 8th and the 12th of March 2016 ( mark your diaries everyone), it is all hands on deck and hectic at the foundation. No leave can be taken, we all have to roll up our sleeves and work our posteriors off. Well I am all for that. My posterior is getting a bit too large for comfort.
Oh, did I mention that I turn 50 in September? To mark the occasion my Mum is coming for a visit. As is my much loved absent son Cameron, not to be confused with my much loved resident son Philip. I will be busy, busy, busy but you know what? I am seriously, so not complaining!!!
I am giddy with joy, I feel like Snoopy.

Publisher's Description
Just what do the statistics tell us?
A result of the large amount of items on this site, I'm not able to personally examine every one. But I still want to supply my visitors with an evaluation of the product. So how to proceed?
The answer is statistics.
Having said that, seeing as this is a new product it's a little too soon to tell exactly what the reaction of customers has been. We don't yet have any sales statistics. Therefore for the time being we're assessing it as being 'average' and waiting a little more time before giving it our final score.
Where exactly to purchase
Please take note that r.ecommended.com doesn't sell Escasez Virtual direct. Instead, we can only link you through to the escasezvirtual.com website where you can purchase the product.

Once you have chosen a property and you want to make an offer, you must sign "LE COMPROMIS DE VENTE" (French preliminary contract to purchase - see below) which is legally binding for both the Vendor and Purchaser. At this stage you must be in a position to pay a deposit (usually 10 % of the price of the house).
From the date of signing the COMPROMIS DE VENTE you have a 7-day cooling off period during which time you can change your mind but the vendor cannot offer the property to anyone else. The vendor will supply a certificate to say that there is no asbestos on the property.
Documents you will need when you buy a property:
- photocopy of your current, valid passport,
- certified copy of your birth certificate (made within the last three months),
- resident's card (if you have one),
- marriage certificate - if applicable
After anything from 1 week to 3 months the buyer and the seller sign the final contract at the office of a French notary. We can arrange for our French representative to attend this meeting with you. It should be noted that during this period you should not expect much communication from the notary's office as, unlike England, there is little correspondence.
We at French Houses are all bi-lingual and we will, if required, with the help of the relevant Agent Immobilier help with the move to France and/or any documentation requirements you may encounter with which you do not feel comfortable. We also have good contacts with money transfer agencies that can save you money. We will even help you to open an offshore bank account and help you with any off-shore pensions and investments.
French Houses ONLY deal with reputable and registered
French Estate Agents (Agents Immobilier Français).
Most of the agencies with whom we deal will, if needed, help you to find a reputable Notaire.
All the properties on this site are though French Estate Agents and our introduction
to these agents and their properties does not cost you anything.

A former employee of a fuel depot near Seattle is believed to have stolen more than a million gallons of fuel, according to The Seattle Times.
The employee, who has not been formally charged, is under investigation by agents from the Internal Revenue Service.
The Times reported that the IRS recently obtained a warrant and seized items from the man's home as part of an ongoing investigation into the theft of about $3 million worth of fuel from the depot, which is owned by Texas-based Kinder Morgan Energy Partners.
The employee, along with five other people, is suspected of using his knowledge of a special pump code and his connections with people still employed by the company to steal the fuel, sell it to gas stations in Washington and launder the money through bank accounts.
The thefts occurred from 1999 to 2004, according to The Times, and investigators believe that about 1.14 million gallons of fuel worth at least $2.9 million was stolen during that time.
Kinder Morgan reported the thefts to police in 2004 after noticing a correlation between the production of certain error reports and visits to the pump by a certain driver.
The Times reported that the error report in question is generated when a code is entered and the pumps are placed in maintenance mode. In that mode, any amount of fuel can be dispensed without being recorded by the inventory-control system.
Investigators say they believe the former employee gave his old code to a driver friend, who then stole the fuel.

A Circuit Rider is a mobile IT development worker who supports a caseload of small voluntary organisations, and who works collaboratively with other Circuit Riders. It's worth expanding on a few aspects of this:
• Mobile
Circuit Riders aren't based in the organisations they work with: they travel from one to the other,
sometimes carrying with them the hardware and software they need for their work.
• Caseload
Circuit Riders have an ongoing involvement with organisations: they don't just visit an organisation when there's a problem.
• Small Organisations
Circuit Riders generally work with small organisations, which can't always afford to employ an IT specialist or to pay for professional technical support. But Circuit Riding makes sense even if an organisation has the money to do these things: most small organisations don't need full-time IT staff.
• Working Collaboratively
Circuit Riders support each other and share information as part of the Circuit Rider movement.
This makes the best use of resources by ensuring that work isn't duplicated in different organisations. And it allows Circuit Riders to make their voices heard among such stakeholders as funders, government, suppliers and voluntary sector networks.
While most Circuit Riders would share this approach, Circuit Riding is more of an ethos than a job description: different Riders work in different ways, depending on factors like their own skills and the needs of the organisations they work with.
Circuit Riding is a new term, but some people – as selfemployed consultants, staff in small for-profit companies or in voluntary organisations – have been working on voluntary sector IT for many years, some of them in ways similar to Circuit Riding. Circuit Riding doesn't seek to be the only solution to voluntary organisation's IT needs: rather, it's a new way of describing one area of work which
seems to make it easier for funders and policy makers to understand organisations' needs.
I came on this idea via David Wilcox's 'Designing for Civil Society' blog, but he reminded me of it again after I commented on this post. I think it is a great idea. The funding bid I mentioned in my comment has now been heavily amended to take account of the experiences from the LASA project.

YOUNGSTERS at a primary school in Great Lever are becoming masters at problem solving.
And it's not just traditional lessons which are helping youngsters develop these essential skills.
Alongside their maths, English and other classes, year four pupils at SS Simon and Jude CE Primary School are having lessons in how to play the ancient game of chess.
Year four teacher Nicola Whitehouse said: "It is helping them to develop their cognitive skills. The children are becoming critical thinkers, better problem solvers and more independent decision makers."
The game is said to be making a comeback in primary schools with 175 UK schools putting chess on the curriculum — 30 years after it was all but wiped out in state schools.
And every Thursday Andrew Wilson, from charity Chess in Schools, visits SS Simon and Jude as well as other schools in Bolton to take both year four classes.
This week they got to grips with the en passant rule.
Mr Wilson said: "The game helps children's concentration and to think strategically.
"It is about applying knowledge to solve problems. In Bolton we have the example of Nigel Short and the backbone of the Greater Manchester Junior Chess Team was made up of young people in Bolton."
The amateur chess player says that the children are at the perfect age to be introduced to the game.
"There are some talented players," said Mr Wilson, who reckons the next step is to enter some of the young chess players in competitions.
Mrs Whitehouse said the skills the children develop through playing chess can be used in other more traditional lessons.
And children are enjoying it so much that some have asked for chess sets for Christmas.
Ethan Pope, aged nine, said: "I enjoy playing chess, it is a fun way of helping develop your thinking skills.
"When we heard that we would be playing chess in school I was excited and it is very interesting."

I'll be honest. An Education was not my most anticipated film of 2009. I'm usually spot on when it comes to what I'm going to like but my favourite of the year is always a surprise - Atonement, Corpse Bride even The Departed were not my most anticipated of their respective years. Perhaps, that's why I love them so much. Sneaking up on you always helps. The thing is though that's I've wanted to see An Education for some time. Univarn remarked that he was sure I'd love An Education. I suppose I do have my "type" of films...but I didn't think it was that obvious. And I really hadn't thought about An Education fitting into that type.
What was it exactly that had me wanting to see this so badly? It couldn't be the reviews. Other than the odd effusive one, reviews were fairly good but unexceptional. However, they all cited Mulligan as a showstopper. And as much as I adored Pride & Prejudice Carey Mulligan was not my main reason, or even the resplendent Rosamund Pike for that matter. Molina I like, but I haven't seen him much. Same goes for Sarsgaard. I have my own relationship with Ms. Thompson. But we all knew that was a cameo. So what was it about me wanting to be "educated"?
Well I have been. And I feel oddly, calm...for want of a better word even serene. The British can do that to you sometimes. I always wonder if my anxiety about a film bouys the grade. Maybe I will myself to like it, or vice versa. I don't know. Is the round-a-bout way of this post annoying you. Sure I've had An Education but as Jenny says "I feel old, but not very wise." I'll return. Don't be mad, I'll expound soon. But I'll leave you with this shot. Isn't it lovely?

I would evaluate my opinion about Rocket as absolutely positive! The company's management always helps its employees and takes into consideration their points of view and remarks. In addition, one of the greatest advantages is that unlike the other companies, the drivers do not have to spend money for contacting the customers.

Here people are well-mannered and educated, they know exactly how to introduce and explain the main principles of our work and help us in case of any questions or problems. Besides, accepting rides online is quite easy, simple and convenient. I am sure that our team will soon be supplemented with new skilled drivers and other team members.

The management is great and they are always side by side with the drivers, regardless of the issues that need to be resolved. Our staff is friendly and exemplary, the service is at its highest level. Even our clients are different: well-mannered, educated and most importantly honest people.

Lavish is originally from the Capital City of Lansing, Michigan. Music has always been a part of Lavish's life. As a child he was inspired by the sounds of R&B legends Kool and The Gang. As he grew older, that love for music found its way to listening to Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. At the age of eleven, Lavish attended his first studio session with his older sister. She had stolen a key from her TV and Radio production class at her vocational school, just so she could record her younger brother. After rushing and completing a quick one hour session, Lavish couldn't wait to make this an everyday thing. From that day on he was sold on what he wanted to do with his life and future.
In 2004 Lavish relocated from Michigan to the "Palmetto State" of South Carolina. In 2005 Lavish and local artist Johnny Wish released "Change Da Game Vol. 1". He then followed that up by releasing his first solo album "Loyal to tha Streets later on that same year. In 2006 Lavish started his own company called Str8 Hood Entertainment. He then began working on his sophomore effort entitled "Life In Da Bricks", which was eventually released in April of 2007. The hit album "Block Tested Hood Approved soon followed. In 2010 he released the mixtape and album titled "Destined for Greatness which contained the hit single "Famous that featured critically acclaimed R&B diva Jazmine Sullivan.
Lavish has opened up for acts such as Jim Jones, Nipsey Hustle, Dipset, Gorilla Zoe, Yo Gotti, Yung Berg, The Shop Boyz, Kia Shine, Lil' Boosie, Pastor Troy, and Slim Thug at various night clubs throughout the Midwest and southeast region. Now back in the Cap-City, he is now focused on making the jump from a regional artist to a national artist. He has joined forces with the production group "We the Best Music Group's "The Chemist" and the down south beat maker "SAS to bring you his latest album titled "EPIC scheduled for Summer 2013 release. This project is guaranteed to propel "Lavish to the national level.
