Harvey West Was Simple
These days, the Challenged Agencies would want my head on a platter for even suggesting my old pal was other than, well, challenged in some way. Mentally challenged? Developmentally challenged? Something challenged?
No, Harvey was simple. "Marked by or showing unaffected simplicity and lack of guile," says one dictionary. That he was. "Free from vanity or conceit," says another.
That's a challenge? I'd say it's a virtue he was blessed with, one more of us should have. With Harvey West, what you saw was what you got; while others might be two-faced, he had only one, and it generally seemed to be smiling.
Not an ounce of vanity, not a bit of conceit. He was one of the few adults in those days who spent time with me. Perhaps we saw each other as peers.
Was he mentally challenged? Not in the least. Not a whole lot challenged him; he just went from one day to the next in his own way. I have known a great many people in the decades following and, of those, there are lots I've had to be wary of; duplicity taints the very blood in their veins. But not simple Harvey.

Millennials have grown up in a world where blogs and social media are taken just as seriously as news and information sources. In this world, the word of a "mommy blogger" is viewed as equal to that of a doctor and the words of a fringe group are equal to mainstream thinking. When there is no discernment between the two, it follows that Millennials would favor less freedom of speech. When a group is unable to discern a fringe opinion from a legitimate well-informed one, all opinions become dangerous. The answer isn't censorship or less freedom. The answer is education, research and critical thinking. Unfortunately, millennials have also grown up in a world where the public education system has failed to teach them discernment, in favor of teaching them how to bubble in the right answers to pass the test.Click here for reuse options!

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is only a couple of weeks away and since it's so close to release, Sony and Naughty Dog decided to put out one more trailer to get all of us really, really excited. The trailer its pretty short (it's just over 30 seconds long) but it's filled with a lot of action.
Some of it looks like it could be gameplay footage but the most of it looks like it comes from the cinematics (or cut-scenes) from the game. And honestly, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm still super pumped for this game and it's starting to look like the hype train is getting pretty crowded.
You know, it's like Naughty Dog was calling out "All Aboard" for their Uncharted hype train. And I don't know if it's ridiculous or dumb to just jump onto the train but I'm already on it. You might as well call me the conductor. You might as well say, "hey Paul, you're on this hype train and you don't know if it's headed to a wall or paradise, what the heck?"
And I'll just reply with a dumb smile and I'll probably fart by accident. I don't know. I just want to play this game already.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End comes out May 10th, 2016 and after that I'll be playing this game nonstop.

Rear-drive Kia GT sedan will debut in Detroit.
The company Kia has published a video which gives an idea about the design of the GT model. Public premiere of new items that will be the most dynamic car the South Korean brand, will be held on 8 January at the Detroit auto show.
As expected, the new Kia model will be a sedan with a heavily sloping roofline, lowered suspension and big wheels.
Previously, Kia has issued a teaser in which it was shown that GT will be able to gain first "hundreds" of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of the model reaches 244 kilometers per hour. For comparison, the current fastest Kia — Quoris flagship sedan — is accelerated to "hundred" for 5.7 seconds and its maximum speed is 240 kilometers per hour.
It is expected that the Kia GT will complement the new 3.3-liter six-cylinder twin-turbo motor. Such a unit is established the model of the premium sub-brand Hyundai — Genesis, where he develops 365 horsepower and 510 Nm of torque.
In addition, the engine range will include four-cylinder petrol turbo, and the European market will also appear diesel with a capacity of about 200 forces. The sedan will be available with both rear and all-wheel drive.

We recently posted some pictures of the Ascend Mate 2 from less than ideal angles, but now there is an entire photo gallery dedicated to Huawei's upcoming phablet.
The photographer was kind enough to take pictures of the Mate 2 with the original Mate smartphone to give a better idea of the aesthetic changes the Chinese manufacturer put into the newer device. The Mate 2 is slightly thinner and has a more curved backside. The most intriguing updates, however, are under the hood.
A 13MP primary camera, 1.6 GHz quad-core processor, 16GB internal storage, and 2GB RAM. It has been reported, however, that the screen will not be updated on the Mate 2. It will most likely sport the same 6.1 inch, 720p display as the original Mate, which may be a bit disappointing, considering that the screen is the star of the show. Expect the Mate 2 to debut at CES 2014, which takes place from January 7-10. You can check out the leaked photos, courtesy Engadget China, at the source link below.
Totally agree with you. Because of its 720p screen, I will definitely go for Mate 2.
Stop your idiotic 1080p obsession. 720p is enough and more sensible in both battery life and better gaming performance. People who seeks for 1080p in 6 inches of panel, should really go to a psychologist. It's mental, rather than being a geek.
Thats your opinion and your eyes. A cheap 1080 display is still much better than any 720 phablet, for example Note 2 at only 5.5 inch suffers badly from its low PPI, how much more then with 720p at 6.1 inch. I agree with the other guy, its time 1080 ...

Dear Readers
The Feds' decision to keep interest unchanged in July 2017 is a step in the right direction to quell the possibility of a recession. This means that cheap money is here to stay. By no means this is sustainable because a debt-fueled economic expansion will give way as soon as signs of inability to service debts appear. Do be weary of this.
I've made major changes to my portfolio since the last month by adding Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd and selling Maxis Bhd (for a -2% loss), Elsoft Research Bhd (for a 42% gain) and Kronologi Asia Bhd (for a 40% gain) for various reasons including profit-taking and to consolidate my portfolio.
The reasoning behind the purchase of Evergreen is that I'm sold by its turnaround plan which has already been implemented and is currently undergoing commercial operations. As for Elsoft and Kronologi, even though I have offloaded them, I still believe that the fundamentals of both these companies are still very much intact. In fact, Kronologi latest quarterly report showed an increased earnings of 140% than the reported earnings in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
Currently, my portfolio stands as follows:
Airasia Bhd – 17.22% gain
CIMB Group Holdings Bhd – 26.72% gain
Ekovest Bhd- 8.95% loss
Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd – 3.57% gain
Samchem Holding Bhd – 10.70% loss
I'm not too concerned about Ekovest and Samchem. I believe both companies will pose better earnings in the future. In fact, I'm considering purchasing more of Samchem, on a bargain.
In the aggregate, my portfolio advanced 1.5%, from a 23% gain in June 2017 to 24.5% gain, this month.
31 July 2017 is the Evergreen's ex-date for a 2 cent dividend which is to be paid on 18 August 2017. At an average price of RM0.868 per share, that equates to a dividend yield of 2.3%.
Until next month.

Preparing your newborn for photos is like many "big" moments in life. There is not much room for a "do over". Newborns look like this, and can be posed like this for such a short time. By three weeks, many babies are past the stage where traditional newborn posing can happen safely.
A case in point is this little newborn boy here. In these images he is just about exactly 6 weeks old. Often, babies at this age can be a challenge to photograph because they do not sleep in quite the same way as they do the first 2 weeks of life. But preparing, and keeping in close communication with your newborn photographer can help a lot. This boy's mom was all over it, in terms of prepping and it made the session. It really did. Here is what she did.
The key to getting your baby to sleep is a full tummy. Since newborns eat about every 90 minutes or so, it is critical to time your arrival at the studio, or the arrival of your newborn photographer at your home with feeding. Let's assume you have a 10:00 am appointment for a newborn photo shoot. This means that you will need to feed your baby at around 8:00 am, pack up, and get to the studio so that you can feed her again at 10:00. Newborn photographers understand that feedings have to happen, In fact, a lot of time in newborn photography is spent waiting for the baby to finish eating. Just before the session begins, feed your baby. Do not let them fall asleep until they have completely finished however many ounces they usually eat. We want a full tummy Doing this will help encourage your older baby to sleep.
A bath can be very soothing for many babies. And if you baby hates baths, you can do a quick massage. So, if you have a bath or a massage, then feed, then come to the studio and feed again, this will help your baby be calm and feel safe as we pose and manipulate them through the session. Babies like touch. It makes them feel safe, connected and calm.
Onesies are definitely the go to item for newborns. But on the day of your photo shoot, do not use one. Onesies are difficult to get on and off without disturbing the baby. While removing a onesie, most babies wake up. And if they have just been fed, it is not time to eat again. So there you have a baby who is awake for no "natural" reason. It seems to confuse the baby and makes many sessions go south before they have even begun. Instead, as you prepare your baby to come to the newborn studio, place him in a loose diaper (marks on skin are no fun in photos), and place a warm blanket over him in the car seat. Then, when he gets to the studio, all he needs to to be fed, and he should fall asleep.
These are the three things this mom did to help her older baby kill his newborn baby pictures. You can do these same things when preparing your newborn for photos. They are easy to do and work like a charm almost every time.

"I can see clearly now..."
There is good news to report, as long as you don't have stock in "Best Buy" or "Circuit City." There continues to be a price war in the digital TV market. Many of the big retailers will report soft quarterly profits because they have deeply discounted the new sets. It's bad for them, but good for you.
There are several types of new "flat screens" from which to choose. Liquid Plasma, Liquid Crystal and DLP are all types of "flat screens" now on the market. All can provide excellent pictures. I do not recommend any of the older style rear projection models. These are usually the least expensive. They are very large, since the projection system is housed in the box about the width of a refrigerator. Of all your options, this type of display will provide the least satisfactory picture.
Shop with your eyes. While numbers and specifications may look great on paper, what the picture looks like to you is more important. While 720 lines of resolution is not as good as a 1080 line display, if the screen measures only 27" it might look fine and be much less expensive.
Bigger is not always better. While the neighbors might go wild over that new 65" behemoth in your living room, your enjoyment of the programs might well be enhanced with a smaller screen. As discussed above, a TV picture, standard or high definition, is made up of discrete pixels. On the small screen they are closer together and thus will look sharper. If you have a large family or media room, go with the big set. If it is for a smaller living room, den or bedroom, think smaller.
Ask to see a demonstration of programming you watch. If you watch NASCAR, ask to see that programming. The same holds true for movies or concerts. Many stores will have all the sets displaying some high energy fast paced video with the subwoofer rattling your teeth. It is all part of the sales ambiance. Take the time to watch what you normally watch and then make your decision.
In the store make sure you watch a set connected to the source of your programming. If you are a cable subscriber ask to see cable programming. If you view off the air or via satellite, ask to see that programming.
Look at the remote. If you are a "techie," the more buttons the better. If you are not, make sure that you will be able to easily navigate the options. This is especially important if the set will be used by someone not accustomed or comfortable with new technology.
Forget the extra warranty. If it is going to fail it will do so early in its life, well within the standard manufacturer's coverage.
One last tip, don't let the salesperson intimidate you. If you read the above information and the material on http://www.cetconnect.org/digital/guide2.asp ,you most likely already know more than he or she does.

Personal details of Director Bala
Bala is an Indian film director, screenwriter, and producer, working in Tamil cinema. Bala was born on 11 July 1966 in Periyakulam, Theni district, Tamil Nadu, India. He studied Tamil Literature at The American College in Madurai. He admitted, that, as a youngster, he was not interested in studies and had dropped in his college days and was considered by many as he won't come up in life. At certain point he determined to prove himself to the society. After a struggling period he came to Chennai and entered the film industry. He started his film career as an assistant director to National Film Award–winning director and cinematographer Balu Mahendra, where a close friendship between the two grew. Bala is frequently credited with having "revolutionized Tamil cinema", through his realistic, dark and disturbing films that have garnered high critical acclaim. He has received several awards and recognition for his work, including the National Film Award for Best Director for his fourth feature film Naan Kadavul (2009).
Bala is known for his later success. He made his directorial debut with Sethu in 1999, that gave a break to Vikram, the film's lead actor, who was also struggling in the Tamil film industry for almost a decade without a hit and recognition. More than 60 distributors saw the film and hesistated to screen it because of its tragic ending. But after multiple preview shows, the film was released on a low profile without any advertisement. But after the first days the film started running to packed houses just through 'word of mouth'. The film was said to have initiated a 'new wave' as it received raving reviews and became a huge hit. Its stupendous success led to remakes in Kannada (Huchcha), Telugu (Seshu) and Hindi (Tere Naam) languages.Bala's next film was Nandha which gave a career boost to Suriya. His third film Pithamagan broke all the sentiments which were prevailing in Tamil cinema. In 2009 he released Naan Kadavul in Tamil featuring Arya and Pooja Umashankar for which he won his first National Film Award for Best Direction. In 2011, his fifth directorial Avan Ivan, considered his first comedy film, released, starring Vishal Krishna and Arya. While the film opened to mixed reviews by critics, the lead actors gained critical acclaim for their performances, particularly Vishal.Currenly he is doing Paradesi Tamil Film with Adharvaa.

What are the consequences of not using a VPN you wonder? Here's six. And the first one could really do long-lasting damage to your life.
Recently it has been reported that President Trump and his ilk have liberated your internet usage history from the data centers of your friendly neighborhood internet service provider, and allowed the latter to sell your data to anyone who wants to see it without your permission.
While it's no secret that companies like Google have been reading your email and other personal data for the last decade or so and selling what they find to advertisers –and Obama, too, has had his hand in your honey-pot –now this controversial man, love him or hate him, has blown everything to hell (worse than Google ever did).
There are no clear rules or limitations of what data can be sold, so it's safe to assume that data now available for sale includes all media consumed, mobile device in-app usage, internet history, and even data sent back and forth via the internet of things if it isn't encrypted.
The use of this data has greater implications than most media outlets are talking about; it will complete an already clear picture of our psyche and continue the bridge to actual mind control –and I'm not being facetious.
"Psyops" have been around for decades, with technology by Cambridge Analytica leading the charge. What we're looking at is worse than Orwell predicted.
"Data-Driven Behavior Change"
"The behavioral techniques that are being employed by governments and private corporations do not appeal to our reason; they do not seek to persuade us consciously with information and argument. Rather, these techniques change behavior by appealing to our nonrational motivations, our emotional triggers and unconscious biases. If psychologists could possess a systematic understanding of these nonrational motivations they would have the power to influence the smallest aspects of our lives and the largest aspects of our societies." (Source)
"These Facebook profiles – especially people's "likes" – could be correlated across millions of others to produce uncannily accurate results. Michal Kosinski, the centre's lead scientist, found that with knowledge of 150 likes, their model could predict someone's personality better than their spouse. With 300, it understood you better than yourself. "Computers see us in a more robust way than we see ourselves," says Kosinski." (Source)
Worth note is that Cambridge Analytica is the same company that helped Trump win the 2016 US Presidential Election, and you can bet they're going to be first in line for the new data culled by ISPs –advertisers are the least of your worries.
With the recent deregulation of the data collected by ISPs, one can wonder if that was an underlying motivation for Cambridge Analytica assisting Trump to Presidential victory. And the big money behind Trump is also the big money behind Breitbart, and one of the minds behind Cambridge Analytica.
You can learn more about big data and behavioral sciences by reading the following related articles;
- Robert Mercer: the big data billionaire waging war on mainstream media
- Invisible Manipulators of Your Mind
As far as we know VPNs still work as long as the company website you're using doesn't sell your usage data (ie. what you do on their site, what you type as you type it –whether you publish it or not, with AJAX programming –technology that Google's Gmail and Facebook use).
It is unclear at this point if it's just http traffic, or if data will be available for sale retroactively to before the US administration removed privacy rules. All we know is the FCC and FTC rules that were in place no longer exist (along with the consequences of violating your privacy). And it doesn't really matter, most people don't even know (or care) if their apps are encrypted, anyway.
Now this is all theory from here on in –but this ruling has the potential to make the Ashley Madison hack look like tripping over an uneven sidewalk by comparison.
Why the Post-Trump Internet is Beyond Creepy
- Big Advertising will be first in line, but so will data scientists and entities from contracted private subsidiaries of governments around the world, hired private investigators, lenders, insurance companies, lawyers, unions, prospective employers, and anyone else who wants to see if you've been keeping your nose clean. Why would advertisers have all the fun?
Equally chilling is that this could also mean the return of the "social credit score" that was shelved just last year –a strategy China is embracing.
It goes beyond wanting to sell you things, it's about making you more of a commodity than you were ever prepared for. Not to say this didn't already happen, but now it's legal.Your internet history, if not encrypted, could mess with other aspects of your life.
Websites you visit during litigation, investigation, or insurance claim proceedings for a work injury could be used against you. Anyone that's ever filed for disability or tried to start a union knows respective companies are watching your social profiles –and now they'll have your browsing history, too.
- It goes beyond borders; anyone tapping into websites or social media portals in the United States without a VPN or https connection will also be affected. This is because internet engagements into America come out on the other side via an American ISP. Events like the Arab Spring could be quashed before they ever gain traction by an unruly dictator.
- You need to worry about more than just a singular ISP being hacked and your data leaked –you need to be wary of how your data is stored at any of the few thousand companies that purchase it.
- The sky is the limit; what will be available in terms of business-to consumer data marketplaces before the year is out is anyone's guess. What would a subscription plan cost? $20 per month for unlimited civilian searches of what Aunt Faye has been reading on Buzzfeed?
The companies behind Spokeo, Pipil, or Virtual Gumshoe are already used for nefarious purposes like doxing, it isn't a stretch to imagine similar marketplaces will be created to make your web browsing histories publicly accessible for a price. And it won't be "the highest bidder" –that's just hyperbole. It'll be an ex-boyfriend, an employer, or your students.
- Most of the internet businesses (read: social media) that the entire planet uses regularly also have an ISP division –namely Facebook, Google, and AOL (yes, people still use AOL). All based in America, all ISPs, and all possess a social network. With their greater visibility to data, can they sell that too? It would be worth more, that's for sure. End-to-end encryption is worthless if the other end is selling your data.
- With all this data flying around, how will it be used by organizations in other countries? Would countries like Thailand want to look back retroactively to see if you ever insulted or defamed a royal or visited unencrypted sites they deem inappropriate? What about Thais living or traveling abroad, outside of the bubble.
Maybe a citizen of the developing world waited until they were off the soil tied to their passport, but would that matter to their government? Do we care that citizens in the developing world use US-based websites, too? What would their governments do to them if they didn't like what they find?
Two Classes of Netizen
Today it is more important to consider if giving your data to an American company is worth the risk (Google for reasons above), and equally important to find a great VPN service.
This law (or lawlessness, depending who you ask) has created two classes of netizen; those who use a VPN, and those who don't. It's hard to understand the cost-benefit analysis of paying for a monthly VPN service today when you don't fully comprehend what tomorrow holds –whether in your life, or on the political landscape in terms of privacy.
"I've never been negatively affected by not using a VPN" is easy to say when you don't actually know how your data is being used today, let alone tomorrow. How old are you? Are today's struggles the same as tomorrow's? Chances are the over-thirties version of you will thank you for thinking ahead.
You've heard this your whole life, but this is that signal you've been waiting for to stop using the internet like a toy. Now it's like the Eye of Sauron –and that eye belongs to Trump. Who will it belong to tomorrow? You can delete a post in one place now, but can you do it easily when it's syndicated and sold later this week?
VPN Solutions
To remedy this issue of privacy for myself I've been experimenting with different VPN services and settled on Private Internet Access (PIA).
These four had the best value, and were recommended to me by numerous peers in the digital nomad community:
- Private Internet Access
- Speedify (also a network bridge that merges multiple connections for faster speed)
- Hide My Ass
- TunnelBear
Browser-Only VPN Solutions
These solutions are for broke people, because they don't cost a thing. ZenMate has a free option, and Opera is a great browser.
- Opera Browser (free VPN service, ad blocker in Privacy Settings)
- ZenMate (browser plugin, all other browsers)
In Summary
All things considered, it's time to start thinking about using a VPN. This is only the tip of the iceberg, this we all know –we feel it. But can we afford to wait until bad things start to happen to ourselves personally to prove it?

|I'm in a frenzy of preserving right now. Last weekend was corn, this week it's Tomato Sauce, Juice, and Salsa, Hot Pepper Rings, and another batch of Peach Jam. What are you putting up right now?

|Great topic for a thread Melissa. I don't can anything so can't help. I was just going to lurk and read what people were doing.
Aug 17, 2013 9:34 AM CST
|Apparently people are so busy preserving they don't have to post on this thread.

|I'm watching too Melissa and your canned goods look yummy!
It was a terrible summer here for so many things.
Constant rain. I think from May to now, we've had maybe 5 days it did not rain.

|Vicki, same here in GA. Terrible summer for gardening veggies anyway.
Aug 17, 2013 3:37 PM CST
|It was a good year here if you don't have a herd of deer feeding from your garden! I still need to make a few more batches of salsa, and the peaches are just about ready.

|For the first time in more years then I can remember, I don't have a veggie garden. With working this year, I just couldn't get it done, and boy do I miss the frish tomatoes, zuccini and everything else, so not much canning yet. The peach tree is about a week or two away from being ready to harvest, so I'll be making lots of peach butter, and canning and freezing some. The apples are loaded this year too. They will be later, but I should be able to can a bunch of apple sauce, and I'd like to freeze some for pie. Anyone ever done that? I could use some directions.

|Tom, work on prepping the veggie garden space this fall so that next spring you will be sure and able to get those veggies planted. No fun at all being without a veggie garden, especially those yummy home grown tomatoes.
Aug 19, 2013 6:36 PM CST
|Tom, it's just as easy to go ahead and make the apple pies and freeze without baking. Then when you want one just remove from the freezer and bake, adding a bit more time. I don't remember how much but you could look at a package of a frozen apple pie in the grocery store to get an idea. It works great. I have done it often.
I remember when I lived for a few years in a townhouse and didn't have any room for a garden. It was awful when you're used to having a garden.
Aug 19, 2013 7:08 PM CST
|When I freeze apples, I slice into salt water, then drain the water, bag and freeze.
Aug 20, 2013 3:34 AM CST
|My mother used to freeze unbaked pies, and they were good. I want to do other things with the apples too, so I don't want them all in pies. I canned some a few years ago, but they got pretty soft. I have a large area for garden, and I cover half with tarps and solarize them, then all I have to do is swithch the tarp to the other side, and till and plant, but with just under 500 Irises, 23 horses, a bunch of day lilies and working, I had all the garden I could manage this year. (I'm not as young as I used to be, lol) I did plant some winter squash that I hybridized, but that's all. I'm not going to work this year, so maybe next spring I'll get it done.

|My mother used to work at Chef Pierre, later bought out by Sarah Lee and she said they just froze the apples without anything on them. It might work.
I know exactly what you mean about not being as young. Seems unfair that when we finally do have the time we don't have the energy and strength. But for me I also do have the sense to not let it stress me out anymore!

|I will be making some salsa the first of the week.

Aug 24, 2013 12:24 PM CST
|Oh salsa sounds good too.
Aug 29, 2013 10:23 PM CST
|Strawberry jam and elderberry jelly today, from previously frozen berries and juice. Green beans, fresh from the garden yesterday morning, into jars today. Tomorrow's jam will be blueberry and blackberry. I have some raspberries in the freezer too, buried under something. When I find them I'll make them into jam. Chest freezers have a way of hiding things until they become UFO's if I'm not careful.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

|This weekend I did Ketchup, Salsa and Tomato Sauce--I'm finished until the apples are ready
Sep 2, 2013 8:10 PM CST
|Oh my. you were really busy and productive this weekend.
Sep 10, 2013 5:29 AM CST
|Tomatoes and peppers grew well this year so I canned 12 pints of salsa.

- Sold Out
Producer Kanye West's highlight reels were stacking up exponentially when his solo debut for Roc-a-Fella was released, after numerous delays and a handful of suspense-building underground mixes. The week The College Dropout came out, three singles featuring his handiwork were in the Top 20, including his own "Through the Wire." A daring way to introduce himself to the masses as an MC, the enterprising West recorded the song during his recovery from a car wreck that nearly took his life -- while his jaw was wired shut. Heartbreaking and hysterical ("There's been an accident like Geico/They thought I was burnt up like Pepsi did Michael"), and wrapped around the helium chirp of the pitched-up chorus from Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire," the song and accompanying video couldn't have forged his dual status as underdog and champion any better. All of this momentum keeps rolling through The College Dropout, an album that's nearly as phenomenal as the boastful West has led everyone to believe. From a production standpoint, nothing here tops recent conquests like Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name" or Talib Kweli's "Get By," but he's consistently potent and tempers his familiar characteristics -- high-pitched soul samples, gospel elements -- by tweaking them and not using them as a crutch. Even though those with their ears to the street knew West could excel as an MC, he has used this album as an opportunity to prove his less-known skills to a wider audience. One of the most poignant moments is on "All Falls Down," where the self-effacing West examines self-consciousness in the context of his community: "Rollies and Pashas done drive me crazy/I can't even pronounce nothing, yo pass the Versacey/Then I spent 400 bucks on this just to be like 'Nigga you ain't up on this'." If the notion that the album runs much deeper than the singles isn't enough, there's something of a surprising bonus: rather puzzlingly, a slightly adjusted mix of "Slow Jamz" -- a side-splitting ode to legends of baby-making soul that originally appeared on Twista's Kamikaze, just before that MC received his own Roc-a-Fella chain -- also appears. Prior to this album, we were more than aware that West's stature as a producer was undeniable; now we know that he's also a remarkably versatile lyricist and a valuable MC. [A clean version of the album was also made available, with all of the cursing wiped out.] ~Andy Kellman, Rovi

Branden Muhl was raised in Kansas City & South Central Iowa.
Growing up, he took interest in business at an early age. His family owned Mahaska Bottling Company, a traditional PepsiCo & Dr Pepper Snapple Group franchise bottling and distribution company. When Branden was 8, he began working odd jobs in the warehouse. By age 12, he was driving a forklift and loading trucks. By 14, he was delivering product to customers off of route trucks, taking orders, and merchandising for national retail customers. Throughout high school & college, Branden worked for several employers outside of Mahaska including HyVee, a finance internship in Tokyo, and a startup technology company.
Branden attended The University of Michigan where he studied business at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business. In school, he was President of Theta Chi Fraternity and the Interfraternity Council (IFC); and a member of Delta Epsilon Iota Academic Fraternity, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). Branden graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2004.
After college, Branden set his sights beyond the Midwest and landed in New York City where he spent eight years on Wall Street as an equity portfolio manager. He worked at investment banks and hedge funds including Lehman Brothers and Balyasny Asset Management, where he focused on healthcare equities, primarily in biotechnology & pharmaceuticals. He saw much success using a blend of fundamental and technical analysis and gained extensive experience in portfolio management. During the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, Branden generated positive absolute returns.
By virtue of his fascination in the growing healthcare and pharma industry, Branden founded The B Group, his own long-short equity investment company specializing in biotechnology, genetic sequencing, and molecular diagnostic equities. In recent years, The B Group has expanded to pursue private investments.
Upon his father's retirement and transition to Chairman of the Board in 2012, Branden purchased Mahaska Bottling Company becoming a 5th generation family owner operator (7th generation overall).
As CEO of Mahaska, Branden drives overall vision and strategy for the company. He continues to expand upon his father's business development efforts by building an independently owned brand portfolio and engaging in territorial expansion.
Currently, Muhl is involved in management of diverse business interest, serves on multiple Boards of Directors, and is involved in a number of organizations across multiple industries. These businesses & organizations include Anthro.is, B Group Capital, Greystone Hotel Miami, Independent Bottler's Association (IBA), JOMAST, KBOE/KMZN, Odin Brands, and YPO (Dallas Chapter).

Ovarian torsion with concomitant detorsion
Lower abdominal pain
Patient Data
Loading images...
Loading Stack -
0 images remaining
A thick walled cyst is seen in midline, which on ultrasound had diffuse low level internal echoes. The left ovary is seen separately ( not shown in these images). The right ovarian residual stroma is noted stretched around this cyst. The right adnexa on earlier ultrasound demonstrated no adnexal vascularity; however on post contrast images it appears to enhance brilliantly while no significant enhancement is noted in the cyst wall. Minimal free fluid was present in the POD. These features were in favor of torsion with concomittant de torsion.
Case Discussion
An ovarian torsion is the rotation of the ovary and portion of the fallopian tube upon the supplying vascular pedicle. This can be intermittent or continuous which would result in venous, arterial and lymphatic stasis. It is a gynaecologcial emergency and it will require urgent surgical intervention to prevent ovarian necrosis. Spontaneous ovarian de torsion may occur which is relatively common.

By Scott Sterling
Recently, a Texas teacher made some headlines by outlining a laissez-faire approach to homework – she won't be assigning any.
For this school year, any work done at home from Brandy Young's class will consist only of in-class work that the student did not finish. Instead, Mrs. Young advocates for homework time to be spent on activities "proven to correlate to student success", such as eating dinner as a family, playing outside, reading together, and going to bed at a reasonable time.
According to her note, Mrs. Young did a lot of research on the topic over the summer and came to the conclusion that "research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance".
Needless to say, she's a big hit among her students. But is she right about research showing the inefficacy of homework on student performance?
First, almost universally across the country, people can agree that there is too much homework assigned – especially to younger students. The rule of thumb for more than a decade has been 10 minutes of homework per night per grade level, starting in kindergarten. But it doesn't take much searching to find anecdotes of 1st graders having an hour's worth of homework to do. That negative research that Mrs. Young cites usually comes from the lower grades. Mrs. Young teaches 2nd grade.
"Any student who is doing more than 3 1/2 hours of homework a night is actually at risk for higher stress levels and poor mental and physical health," Stanford Professor Denise Pope said in a recent article. In other words, those teachers are doing more harm than good.
Now that we've covered amount, what should homework actually consist of?
First off, it needs to be meaningful. Homework tends to come in three flavors: practice of new skills, extension of learning, or applying in-class learning to outside situations. Students should never be asked to complete homework that requires them to learn new skills. There's no support. Students will often struggle, which will lead to a lack of engagement and negative feelings about the learning process as a whole.
In the younger grades, homework should be about practice and establishing good study habits, preparing them for the more in-depth work they'll be ask to do at home as they progress through school. The goal of homework for a younger student: to show them that the learning process doesn't stop at the front door of the school.
But another goal for homework in the younger grades can be considered training – for parents. Parents are often looking forward to the opportunity to help their young children with homework, but don't know how to do that effectively. They may provide too many answers themselves or get frustrated if it takes the student too long to "get it". Neither are optimal results for homework time.
Instead, consider hosting a parents' night at the beginning of the school year and model what responsible homework assistance looks like. Show parents how to ask guiding questions and explain why this work is important. In other words, skills that teachers use in the classroom every day. Not only will this help the students in their work, but it will also foster more of a parent-school connection.
In any case, at any grade level, a student should be able to answer why they are doing a particular assignment for homework. Even if the answer is just "to practice my multiplication", the student needs to see the value in it. This is necessary for buy-in, not just for homework but for what's going on in the classroom as well. Chances are that if students don't know why they're doing something at home, they don't know why they're doing it in the classroom, either.
We believe that the most important thing a teacher or leader can do is to fuel each student's passion for learning. When this is achieved, a lifetime of accomplishment becomes possible for that learner. Through partnerships with schools and districts throughout the country, we help educators and leadership transform each classroom into a powerful learning environment that prepares students for lasting success in school, the global workplace, and beyond. Our vision for the future is big and bright, and we love helping schools get there. Learn more about Learning Sciences International.

Power tools such as table saws and wood lathes are inherently dangerous although the wood lathe is likely one the safest of the larger power tools in the woodworking shop. Yet there are some considerations in the maintenance of a wood lathe that keep safety standards high.
Maintenance for the wood lathe may be channeled into three categories, long term, regular and steady. For the amateur wood turner this can for all intents and purposes be thought of as yearly, monthly, and by the session. With a little thought and preparation, this need not be a tedious set of procedures but simply a part of the wood turning experience. Too often we ignore the bigger parts of a lathe until they break. This causes frustration an interruption in work flow that may last for weeks waiting for parts.
Yearly maintenance looks at the overall health of the lathe. Wood lathes rotate wood between head stocks and tail stocks while allowing the turner to move tools back and forth to remove wood. This means there are bearings for things that rotate, motors that drive the rotations, belts to move power from one location to another, and metal sliding on metal to allow tools to move.
The simplest of these to check is the sliding of tools rests and tailstocks over the ways of a lathe to manoeuvre tools and hold wood. If there is hesitation in the movement of either it is usually due to rust on the ways or finishes that have hardened on the metal. Remove the tailstock and the tool rest banjo from the lathe and check for either on the bottom of each. Clean rust and finish from the ways, banjo and tailstock with fine sandpaper, steel wool or cleaner and apply wax to the ways for easier movement and rust prevention before replacing the tailstock and banjo.
Check belts for wear and replace them from spare belts that you have on hand. Belts tend to be the inexpensive side of lathe repair and it is good to have a spare one in the shop. Likewise, bearing will likely announce incipient wear with noise or movement and should be ordered before demanding replacement. Each lathe is slightly different for bearing replacement so follow your manufacturers advice.
At least monthly blow any dust out of the motor and inspect the wiring for good repair. Mounting bolts can loosen with vibration from turning wood and should be checked for tightness. This is a good time to look at belts and bearings for wear and to order new ones for the annual checkup.
Before every turning session make sure that the lathe is not crowded with other tools and there is plenty of room to move around it while turning. Be sure all tools are sharp and the sharpening station is ready to go with a cleaned wheel. Just before turning the lathe on check one more time to be certain the moving wood will clear the tool rest and all parts of the lathe are tightened down.
Very quickly this all becomes second nature and adds to the enjoyment of turning wood. The satisfaction of knowing the tools are in order will only add to the satisfaction and pleasure of the wood turning experience.
Darrell Felt mate is a juries wood turner whose web site, Around the Woods, contains detailed information about wood turning for the novice or experienced turner as well as a collection of turnings for your viewing pleasure. You too can learn to turn wood, here is the place to start. Wondering what it looks like? There are many free videos on the site dealing with everything from sharpening to making a bowl.

Another day, another drama review, folks!
I admit, I generally love k-dramas for all of their cuteness and quirkiness. But of out all the Flower Boy Series that TVN has released, I feel that this was the weakest installment. Don't let that deter any of you, though. I judge a drama not by how good it is alone but also how much rewatch value it contains. As a whole series, I'm not sure I'd marathon it again, but there were definitely scenes and portions of episodes I'd go back to rewatch.
This series is easy to summarize. Here's what I loved about it:
1. The ramen! To be honest, I'm not a big fan of ramen. Before you throw your kimchi at me, please understand that I'm not a big pasta fan to begin with. Nonetheless, another k-drama strikes and makes ramen look like the best food on earth.
2. The pillar AKA Kang Hyuk! The quirker the characters, the better. This k-drama responds with the adorable Choi Kang Hyuk, who has a very bright and sunny (and sometimes strange) personality. He also has the bad habit of laying down anywhere he deems "comfortable enough" so that he can sleep. He even nods off while slaving over a hot stove to make ramen. Kang Hyuk, that's just dangerous. But he was freaking adorable anyway. Saranghae, Oppa!
3. The plot. Sometimes less is more, and this drama really shined in that area. It focused on Eun Bi, the Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, the male lead, and the second male lead. This story wasn't complex stuff. We mainly followed Eun Bi on her journey to sorting out her feelings for high schooler Cha Chi Soo. In the end, she realizes that she liked him all along. Well, duh Eun Bi! I could have told you that from the very first episode.
4. Jung Il Woo's character: Cha Chi Soo. Sure, he was kind of loud, obnoxious, and he acted the part of a spoiled chaebol heir perfectly. Sometimes he was a little pushy, but I think he really did a lot of growing up. Chi Soo grew up without a mom (she died at a young age), and with the way his dad forced the family business on him as a child, it kind of makes sense that he's loud yet withdrawn. There was always something sad and lonely that I saw in Chi Soo. And Eun Bi was the spark that brought him back to life.
5. Eun Bi's best friend, Kang Dong, was the best and the worst. Sometimes I got a good chuckle at her advice and speeches to Eun Bi. Here's a gif of her million dollar advice:
6. The kisses and intimate moments between Eun Bi and Chi Soo were sizzling. Every darn romantic encounter they had gave me butterflies in the pit of my stomach. I'm talking specifically the kimchi kiss and the kimchi finger lick. And for the record, I tried not to like Chi Soo because he was so irritating, but there was just something about Eun Bi and Chi Soo's arguments that felt like the quintessential old, married couple.
And some things I didn't like:
1. As much as I enjoyed the ease of the plot, I was a bit miffed by the end. I disliked how the drama with Cha Chi Soo and his dad was handled. It took a few episodes to be resolved, and I'm still not pleased. Chairman Cha doesn't approve of Eun Bi because it reminds him of his dead wife that was still pinning for another man while they were together. Chairman Cha kept comparing his late wife to Eun Bi and it was really frustrating. In the end, Chairman Cha cut Chi Soo off and he was given papers that forced him into the army. I'm still confused by what he actually does in the army. Oh, and what does Chi Soo actually want to do with his life? When he was bonding with his brother, Kang Hyuk, as they made ramen, Kang Hyuk informs Chi Soo that he has perfect taste — just like him.
So, does Chi Soo have any interest in cooking? It would have been nice to see the series end with him having more direction.
2. I also felt that I was confused by Eun Bi and what she really wanted. She was really good at volleyball, but did she truly enjoy it? We know she gave it up to go to school to become a teacher because it would provide some financial security and because it was a practical job. In the end, I wish we had gotten a little more in terms of her aspirations.
3. What about our other Flower Boys? Kang Hyuk gives his final fairwell to Eun Bi and says that he's going to cook ramen. Where is the question? Why does the second male lead always sacrifice so much and never get anything more?
All in all, this drama wasn't half bad. I enjoyed Eun Bi and Chi Soo finally getting their crap together. If I had to rank it with the other Flower Dramas from TVN, I would definitely say Shut Up Flower Boy Band, Flower Boy Next Door, and Flower Boy Ramyun Shop. Although, Ramyun closely tied with Next Door, but it came down to personal preference for me. If you're looking for a lighter comedy in k-dramas, this one isn't half bad. I'd totally watch it just to see Lee Ki Woo in a towel again. But that's just me.

|What is causing this problem? I noticed it after an extremely hot day. All the new growth is normal. It is raining out, so not sure if the little white bugs caused this (didn't notice them before) or if they are taking cover from the rain. It seems that it is only affecting my Parkland Morden Roses. Hybrid Teas, Floribundas and other hardy shrubs are fine.
Jul 30, 2013 6:19 AM CST
|Those leaves do look more eaten. Perhaps someone will have seen these little critters before. I still have no idea.
Jul 30, 2013 6:31 PM CST
|It's the little hopper whiter bug. Some roses in the back yard are now affected and not raining and the bug is there. Wish I caught it sooner
Jul 30, 2013 6:37 PM CST
|Do you mean it is a type of leafhopper?
Jul 30, 2013 7:43 PM CST
|They look like white fly eggs and larvae. No idea where the adults went, but the leaves look like they have some kind of sucking insect damage.
I'd go after them with the soapy water spray asap.

Jul 30, 2013 7:46 PM CST
|They look like White Fly from the images, not Giant White Fly. They are all over the hollyhocks. I never see them on the roses, but that doesn't mean they won't or can't feast on them. The foliage appears to have had the sap sucked from it, like spider mite infestation, which the white fly can do. If you have large leafed perennials or annuals around, check their foliage for them, too. Insecticidal soap or horticultural oil sprays can knock them down as long as it is applied to the reverses of the leaves.
Jul 30, 2013 8:16 PM CST
|Sprayed the entire garden with Insecticide soap. Hope the the plants recover. Note: I usually don't take such drastic measures, but I have committed to a large group for a open garden on Aug 11 and those little bugs have done a lot of damage on many roses.

Filming has just started on the 8th installment in the Saw Franchise! Yup that's right, 8 Saw movies spanning almost 2 decades now. I must admit that the original for me will always be the most thrilling and horrific as the mere idea of being trapped in a room with no way out and not knowing why you're in there is enough to make anyone shudder in fear.
Thus far not much has been said of the movie in terms of synopsis but we do have some info regarding the new project. Saw; Legacy (2017) is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, and written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger.
Saw 3D was intended to be the final film in the Saw franchise, with the film being split into two parts. However, Lionsgate Films only allowed the filmmakers to make one more film after Saw VI under-performed at the box office.
According to Saw 3D writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, because of the change, "the big reveal of Dr. Gordon was a bit underserved ... Perhaps creating more questions than answers. There were several ideas we never quite figured out. But I don't want to say what they were, because you never know what might happen in the future."
In February 2016, it was reported that Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger will write the script. In July 2016, it became known that Michael and Peter Spierig will direct the film. Composer Charlie Clouser described Legacy as a "reinvention" of the Saw franchise, opining "the Spierig brothers can deliver a fresh take on the material that will establish a new story line and new characters that can carry the saga into the future."
So lock your doors and watch out for creepy dolls on tricycles because Saw: Legacy will be hitting theaters around October 2017!

Carnegie Mellon professor
to lecture at MMI in May
Michigan Molecular Institute is again convening the brightest minds in polymer research as its Turner Alfrey Visiting Professor program welcomes Professor Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, who will lecture at MMI in May.
Matyjaszewski, who comes from the chemistry department of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, will lead a course titled "Macromolecular Engineering: Designing New Materials by Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization." Matyjaszewski will present to local scientists and other interested parties May 3-7 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the MMI lecture hall at 1910 W. St. Andrews in Midland.
The Matyjaszewski arrival marks the 30th such visit by a distinguished polymer researcher in the visiting professor program, established in 1973 and renamed in 1981 as a living memorial to the late Dr. Turner Alfrey Jr. Each year, an outstanding scientist is invited to teach a short course, visit the sponsoring organizations and deliver additional research seminars.
"Aside from paying tribute to a man who meant so much to science and education on both a local and national level, the Turner Alfrey Visiting Professorship gives local scientists a chance to network with the leading minds in the field of polymers." said Dr. Robert Nowak, MMI's president and CEO.
Matyjaszewski will also spend part of his time around mid-Michigan visiting some of the TAVP program's co-sponsors, including The Dow Chemical Co., Dow Corning Corp., Central Michigan University, Michigan State University, Saginaw Valley State University and the Mid-Michigan Section of Plastics Engineers.
Registration for the MMI course is required and due no later than Monday, April 26. Interested parties can contact MMI at (989) 832-5555, ext. 555 or email@example.com. There is no course fee for auditors of organizations participating in the TAVP program. The regular course fee is $300.

Holistic Dog Grooming
At Bentley's, grooming takes place in the state-of-the-art "stable salon". Only one dog is present at a time (unless you wish to bring two dogs from the same household for a double session). Grooming products are from the "Wild Wash" and "Fuzz Yard Natural" ranges and are predominantly organic but always natural, so no nasty chemicals. Michele has developed a calm and gentle grooming method, (based on her extensive training in canine behaviour and body language) which helps puppies have a positive experience and nervous dogs relax. The hydrobath is especially good for the seniors or any dog with aches and pains! All-in-all, we offer a bespoke, relaxed groom for your dog in a wonderful, peaceful environment. As an added bonus, you and your dog can enjoy a private session/walk in the sensory enrichment garden before the groom. Puppies on their first groom will be taken for a short "scratch and sniff" walk in the garden (on lead), so that they can enjoy the environment whilst we have a chat (weather permitting). It always help to start sessions in a calm frame of mind! For the most comfortable and relaxed grooming session, it is best if the dog has not eaten for a couple of hours beforehand and has not been heavily exercised (otherwise high adrenaline levels will make it difficult for the dog to relax and be still when needed). A gentle walk, where they have time to relieve themselves and have some quality sniffing, is ideal.

Financial education is not represented in our school systems, at least not on a national basis. However, learning how money really works should not be left to an untrained adult.
Parents can try to educate their children, and many do, but the economics of money, and how we use money, has changed.
Here is an example: When my wife and I were married in 2000, we wrote paper checks for a lot of our bills. We also used credit cards because debit cards were just starting to become popular as a payment option, not just a way to get cash from a local ATM.
Here are some things that have been created in the past 10-15 years: Online Money Market accounts, budgeting apps, having access to our bank account via smartphones, BitCoin and even giving a tithe via a text message!
I know, right?
The problem with our country's financial illiteracy isn't due to a lack of resources – just look at all the financial bloggers who attended the recent Financial Blogger Conference in Charlotte. The problem is we don't seek the education ourselves until the problem has become big enough that we HAVE to learn.
I began blogging in 2007 at the same time I began coaching individuals on their budget and financial goals. I've learned a LOT – and I expect you would too.
And since you are reading this, you fall into one of two categories:
A) You want to learn how money really works
B) You HAVE to learn how money really works
Either way, I've got you covered:
I coach couples via phone or Skype to improve their spending, saving, and giving. You've already come here to learn so take the next step…

Are you ready for the 200th episode of the MoneyPlan SOS podcast? Here we go…
Live from FinCon15, I interview nine financial bloggers. They answer the question, "Have you learned anything about money since blogging about money?"
Below is the blogger's name, Twitter handle, what they learned and how you can find their blog, book, or financial resource.
Rosenberg @ericprofits
"The biggest light bulb moment was when I began thinking about personal finance like dieting.
You can exercise all day long but you won't lose any weight if you eat and eat and eat.
Budgeting is very important but focus on your income"
You can find more of Eric's blogging at PersonalProfitability.com
Emily Guy Birken @EmilyGuyBirken
Emily's father was a Financial Planner. She knew quite a bit about money and writes for a few blogs.
Emily said the biggest lesson she learned about money while blogging about money was, "I already knew about personal finance but didn't see the importance about prioritizing my own retirement savings over other things".
Find out more about Emily's blogging at EmilyGuyBirken.com
You can find her books on Amazon.com:
Katie Austin @Activehours
Katie has been blogging for about 3 months. Her boyfriend challenged her to track every single dollar she spent.
Katie begrudgingly accepted the challenge (for love) and learned how apps can make it easier to deal with her finances.
Katie writes for ActiveHoursBlog.tumblr.com
Todd Tresidder @Financialmentor
"With every post that I write, I learn. I do research and go very deep into each post, refining my knowledge. But I have learned that the big principles are actually quite simple – it's just that the devil is in the details."
Todd's blog can be found at FinancialMentor.com
His book, "How Much Money Do I Need To Retire?" is available on Amazon.com
Todd's offer: New subscribers can download his free book "18 Essential Lessons from a Self-made Millionaire" and take a free course.
Stefanie O'Connell @brokeandbeau
Admittedly, Stefanie is an unlikely candidate to be a financial expert. She has been working in professional musical theater with a degree in drama. She started blogging as she was learning how to budget her irregular income using spreadsheets.
Her biggest money lesson was coming to an understanding that she was in charge of what she earned. That is when she began to live on this month's income next month (kind of like YNAB, hammy). She is now living the Broke and Beautiful Life.
You can find Stefanie's Broke and Beautiful blog at http://thebrokeandbeautifullife.com or her book, The Broke and Beautiful Life on Amazon.com
Athena Lent @AccordingAthena
Athena is a Senior at Arizona State University and started blogging about getting her financial act together. She had no idea how to manage money and began to write about her experiences with money in 2008.
Athena was orphaned at age 15 and had to work herself through school by herself. However, she came to the realization that she too could become successful.
You can read more Athena at http://MoneySmartLatina.com
Miranda Marquit @mmarquit
Miranda has been blogging about money for about 100 internet years (i.e.: Since 2006). She started writing science articles in 2005, then wrote the Confessions of a Professional Blogger book to share her online freelancing journey.
Her biggest money lessons, since starting to blog, were learning about how to earn more money.
You can find more blogging from Miranda at http://plantingmoneyseeds.com
Check out her book: Confessions of a Professional Blogger, available at Amazon
JD Roth @JDRoth
JD started GetRichSlowly.com in 2006. After running it for three years, he sold it and continued to run it for another three years. He started blogging to chronicle his experience getting out of debt and managing money.
The biggest lesson he learned was to "save as much money as you can".
Admittedly, this is a very basic principle of personal finance, but JD realized he could reach bigger goals by saving half of his income, not just the general advice of 10-15% of income.
You can find JD at his new blog http://MoneyBoss.com
Eva Baker TeensGotCents
Eva started blogging at age 16. Her biggest lesson she learned is money was not as scary as it seemed. Eva speaks to other teens about money in hopes that they will learn about money before going to college. It empowers them to be purposeful with the cash they receive from chores, gifts, and work.
Eva maintained a cash envelope system since she was 5, so Eva knows how to budget her money as a young adult.

France floods: Hundreds of campers rescued
Heavy floods have hit parts of southern France, forcing the authorities to rescue around 1,600 people, most of them campers. The worst-hit areas are Gard, Ardèche and Drôme. One 70-year-old German man is missing.
The floods follow unusually hot temperatures. Rachel Buchanan, from Oxford, was camping near the river Ardèche when flooding hit. "The level and speed of the river today was extraordinary," she said. "We woke up in about a foot of water." Here's footage of the flooding.
House of Fraser calls in administrators
Department store chain House of Fraser, which employs 17,500 people, is appointing administrators after a rescue deal collapsed. All 59 stores are set to open as usual on Friday, including 31 earmarked for closure as part of a restructuring agreement. The BBC's Robert Plummer looks at five things that went wrong with the 169-year-old retail business.
End migration targets after Brexit, says CBI
Business leaders have called for migration targets to be scrapped after Brexit. Currently, the government's aim is to get net migration – the difference between the number people entering and leaving the country – below 100,000 a year. But this has never been met.
The CBI says targets should go, replaced with a system that ensures people coming to the UK make a positive contribution to the economy. The Home Office said it had no plans to end targets.

Strike cancels one in six Ryanair flights
Many Ryanair passengers are facing a miserable 24 hours. Pilots in five countries – Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands – have gone on strike, cancelling one in six of the airline's flights. It's the largest in a series of strikes over pay and condition. Ryanair says it's working to end the dispute.
A decade after a brutal murder, is hate crime rising?
By Ben Bryant, BBC Three
The call from the hospital came early in the morning. Debbie Causer screamed and grabbed her mum, Marie. "We literally jumped in a taxi," she says.
Michael Causer, Debbie's 18-year-old brother, lay unconscious in the intensive care unit of a Merseyside hospital. He had severe head injuries, including a fractured jaw and a blood clot in his brain that required emergency brain surgery.
"All the medical equipment made him look like he was in a cage. It just didn't look like Michael," Debbie recalls. "I walked out and burst into tears." Debbie, then 25, had no idea who had done this to her younger brother. Unknown to her, she was about to find out. The men responsible for Michael's injuries were also inside the hospital – and they were waiting for her.
What the papers say
There's much interest in the news that Boris Johnson could face an investigation into alleged breaches of the Conservative code of conduct over his comments on Muslim women wearing burkas. The Guardian says this has awakened fresh infighting within the party, while the i says PM Theresa May is going "in for the kill". The Daily Telegraph suggests the leadership is trying to "kneecap" Mr Johnson, the former foreign secretary. Elsewhere, the Times says some banks are failing to pass on the recent interest rate rise to savers. And the Daily Star, Sun and Metro all lead on the news that ITV's Saturday Night Takeaway will be off-air next year.

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
The story of three pets, a cat and two dogs, who lose their owners when they are all on vacation. Can they find their way home?
Engrossing, sentimental yet cruel Disney live action about 2 dogs and a cat on a quest to be re-united with their owner. On their odyssey through the Canadian wilds they have to forge rivers and navigate local wildlife. The tale is well told - I was hooked as a child 40 years ago - but this film is from an era with different views on the treatment of animals and in a handful of scenes they are clearly distressed
Just trying as hard as I could to hold back tears when the cat reunited with the dogs. 4.5 Stars.
A cure for angst and depression.

What a busy week it's been in class 2! We started our week with Mrs Baker and lots of practical maths exploring measuring. We had fun weighing out pasta, rice and vegetables and estimating how heavy they might be.
On Wednesday we had a visit from a travelling theatre company and enjoyed a excellent production of Pinocchio, there was lots of well known music in the show and we all enjoyed singing along to a certain well know Frozen hit!
Thursday started with our usual swimming lesson, we also went on a mini beast hunt and found lots of snails, spiders and worms.
In the afternoon we had whole school story time, lots of us enjoyed David Walliams new book which was read by class 2's new teacher Mrs Sullivan.
Don't forget tomorrow we are celebrating World Book Day with a crayon themed dressing up, we are looking forward to a rainbow coloured classroom.

Call us: 030 3974 631 or 030 3975 019
Zeepay Ghana Limited is a wholly Ghanaian owned Mobile Financial Services company focused on providing integrated mobile payments services with mobile wallets targeting the unbanked and banked population with the objective of bringing the unbanked into the financial stream and easing payments and collections for the banked population.
Zeepay facilitates the processing of multiple mobile phone payment transactions, and operates as a aggregator that brings transaction of all players together on one single platform. The company's core application runs on an open source technology, and it's designed to integrate all types of payment platforms, banks, merchants, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and other companies with subscriber based transactions.
Zeepay's objective is to include about 50% of the unbanked population through the provision of mobile financial services with retail enablement. While improving revenue mobilization for Government, Municipals, Insurance, Banks, Retail based organizations, and all relevant key stakeholders within the payments and collections ecosystem.
We provide a platform that accepts mobile money wallets, debit & loyalty cards, and cash at the point of sale along with operating as a store house for holding cash through mobile wallets for members.
Our Mobile Financial Services platform runs on an open source, giving us the ability to aggregate all modes of payments within Ghana and abroad. We do not compete with, but rather provide a means to payments and collections for both Retail partners and direct competitors. For competitors, our core mission is to expand their reach through varied partnerships hence the reason we pride ourselves as aggregators.
We are the first to go to market in Ghana with the "tap and pay" and the "click and send" service, offering two factor authentication as the minimum – which in Ghana is PIN and biometric, we use another factor which is near field communication.
That is mobile agnostic and independent of Mobile Network Operators, Banks and Retailers but rather consumer focused and driven for a highly interactive consumer market where the consumer dictates the market pace.
Using an aggregator platform with high inter-operability and robust processors enabling us to handle a maximum of 200,000 transactions in volume per second. This is all accomplished while being able to process mobile wallets across various networks, proprietary cards, branded cards, international money transfers, contact less and cash amongst others via point of sale, web, and smart phones.

Doctors' Answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" - Indocin
[posted 09/25/2000]
Answer: Indomethacin is brand named Indocin and is made by Merck.
[posted 03/14/2000]
Answer: Not really, but sure sounds like you have it. Why not try the newer classes of anti-inflammatories, Vioxx and Celebre-both Cox 2 inhibitors. These are chemically in a different class. You should watch your liver functions, but this is what I would do.
Why Take Indocin for Migraines [posted
Answer: Aspirin and NSAIDS can be a preventative medication in migraines in some patients.
Indocin Side Effects [posted
Answer: Indomethacin is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID). It decreases
both pain and inflammation. General side effects are usually GI, diarrhea, nausea, ulcers,
etc. Occasional patients have trouble breathing or a rash. Vertigo, blurred vision and
paranoia would be extremely rare with this drug.
