Thursday was a long day of tennis with a big upset and one horrendous moment, which i'll get to later in the post. There were three women's matches up first – Svetlana Kuznetsova and CoCo Vandeweghe both looked in great form as they booked their places in the third round with straight set wins.
Svetlana Kuznetsova played a blinding first set, before saving a set point in a tight second set to record a 7th win over Ekaterina Makarova, 6-0 7-5. Despite playing lights out tennis in the first set, I still expected this to go three sets! Makarova was serving at 90% first serves in during the first set but won only seven points on serve as Kuznetsova was lethal on return. She moved Makarova from side-to-side and arrowed down-the-line winners for fun.
Makarova improved significantly in the second set, particularly on serve. The 29-year-old even managed a smile when the crowd erupted after she won her first game of the match. Kuznetsova lost her break and Makarova even chalked up a set point leading 5-4* 40-30* – it didn't go to plan with a drop shot into the net. Kuznetsova held and then romped home, winning 10 of the last 11 points and serving out to 15 with two aces.

English version is below // Спорт и мода – почему бы и нет?)) да еще и объединённые талантливым российским дизайнером. С большой гордостью представляю вам нашу совместную коллекцию с @kalmanovich_studio к #Wimbledon. 😍 Эта коллаборация стала интересным экспериментом для нас с @kalmanovich. Теннис – это и без того тяжелая игра, в которой нет места слабостям и "девчачьим" эмоциям, на корте мы все кажемся очень суровыми. Наше совместное сотрудничество с Юлией и моим спортивным спонсором – брендом #Qiaodan, стало глотком свежего воздуха, возможностью принять участие в настоящем творческом процессе. Как вам результат? #kalmanovich #KalmanovichForSK #kuznetsova Sport and design -why not?) and together with Russian talented designer . Here I'm presenting to you our collaboration with @kalmanovich_studio for @wimbledon. The game is hard and we got to be always taught and no place for girly emotions 😝.. but collaboration with Julia and my cloth sponsor Qiaodan gave us a fresh air and a chance to participate in very interesting process of creating and transmitting some feminine style to the courts , with which I'm very pleased . What do you think guys? #sk
Someone was having fun during Kuznetsova-Makarova!
CoCo Vandeweghe is one to watch this week – against a tricky opponent in Tatjana Maria, who was on a five match winning streak, the American showed better focus compared to her first round match and handled Maria's chip-and-charge game brilliantly to post a 6-4 6-2 victory.
Vandeweghe was seeded to meet Kristina Mladenovic in the third round – instead, it will be Alison Riske who awaits after the American pulled off the upset from a set and a break down, 2-6 6-4 6-4. The pair were unhappy with the court surface on Court 18 at the start and after both slipped, Mladenovic was quite forceful in saying that she wasn't happy to play. After discussions with the WTA supervisor, Mladenovic continued and settled down, playing a fine set with her first serve and backhand slice particularly potent.
Mladenovic earnt the first break of the second set, but seemed to lose focus as Riske, who competed magnificently well, came back to force a decider. Mladenovic threw in a poor game serving at 3-3 and Riske rode with it, holding her nerve in the final game with a high volley and overhead winner to secure a fantastic victory. This is the third time that Riske has reached the third round of Wimbledon, but the first time since 2014. Mladenovic had another fall in the decider and seemed to be bothered by her leg.
Saving two match points, Agnieszka Radwanska survived a two hour and 42 minute marathon with Christina McHale to win, 5-7 7-6(7) 6-3. The American held two match points in the second set tiebreak – a series of careful volleys helped Radwanska save the first, while McHale drove a backhand into the net on the second. It was the backhand that let the American down in the decider as a gritty Radwanska came to back win in three, forcing the error on her own match point with a drop shot off the return.
Radwanska has spoken in press about dealing with a virus during the grass court season and while she's not playing anywhere close to the level she is capable of, this is still a fine effort to have reached the third round.
Next up for Radwanska is Timea Bacsinszky who has played two sensational matches – after a three set win over Monica Puig in the first round, Bacsinszky dropped just one game in a 6-1 6-0, 48-minute (!) win over Kristina Kucova. Timea's stats have been incredible!
Four days in and the two pre-tournament favourites, Petra Kvitova and Karolina Pliskova are both out of the tournament. On Thursday, Rybarikova produced a sensational performance, rallying from a set and a break down to beat Pliskova and post the second top five win of her career, 3-6 7-5 6-2.
Rybarikova showed some wonderful touches in the first set but Pliskova's serve got her through, most notably winning 90% of second serve points. The Czech player sealed the one and only break with a deep forehand return. Rybarikova recovered from an early break down in the second set and then stayed in front on serve. Serving to stay in the set, Pliskova produced a pair of shockers – a drive volley miss and an errant overhead where she didn't move her feet. Another error long and a nervous-looking Pliskova rather gifted the set away.
The final set saw Rybarikova continue to produce stunning grass court tennis and Pliskova not on her game, losing out on a handful of tight games. The Czech player made a lot of uncharacteristic errors and dropped serve in her last three service games. This loss means that Pliskova is still yet to make it past the second round of Wimbledon. Rybarikova was obviously a big threat but I am shocked that she pulled off the upset.
All the credit to Magda – I can't stress enough how gorgeous her game is to watch!
And here is point of the tournament so far.
The third quarter has been blown wide open with Pliskova's loss. We now know that Rybarikova, Lesia Tsurenko, Petra Martic or Zarina Diyas will be a Wimbledon quarter-finalist. Three of those players on the comeback in 2017 so there's going to be some wonderful storylines in the next few days.
The world number one, Angelique Kerber beat Kirsten Flipkens, 7-5 7-5 in a super entertaining match, which dazzled the highly engaged No.1 Court crowd. Some of the shotmaking in this match was stunning. The embrace that Angie and Kirsten shared at the end was everything. Again, not the most convincing match from Kerber, but the one thing that strikes me is that she seems to really be enjoying her tennis this week. In my opinion, that's big.
Over on Court 16, there was an absolutely horrendous moment as Bethanie Mattek-Sands was forced to retire from her second round match against Sorana Cirstea due to a very serious knee injury. I'm not going to share the video that was going around on Twitter because it is very distressing to watch. The knee went with Beth moving forward to the net. Beth was screaming for help and clearly in a tremendous amount of pain. Cirstea immediately tended to the American and there's a moment where she suddenly realises this is a very bad injury.
I felt sick for a long time and I can't stop thinking about it. I am wishing Beth all the best in her recovery. Beth's injury clearly had an impact on the players with many of them tweeting their best wishes on social media.
This was just lovely from Lucie.

I'm deeply hurt after seeing my best friend getting badly injured today…my thoughts are with her to have a speedy recovery! She is the biggest fighter and one of the strongest people I know! I hope to see that great smile on court again soon! #teambucie #getwellsoon @matteksands
Sorana spoke in press about the situation.
Barely an hour after Beth's injury and being courtside in the aftermath, Lucie took to the court to play her second round match against Shelby Rogers. After edging a tense and tight first set tiebreak with two superb points, Rogers came back to win the final two sets and win, 6-7(4) 6-4 6-3. The pair both looked emotional at the end and shared a long embrace. Well done to Shelby for her first ever third round showing at Wimbledon. Hugs to Lucie, today was just a brutal day.
Quietly moving through the draw and looking like a real contender from this top half, Garbiñe Muguruza beat Yanina Wickmayer, 6-2 6-4. Muguruza escaped a *0-40 deficit serving at *4-4 before breaking for the win.
A blockbuster third round match between Caroline Wozniacki and Anett Kontaveit is all set after both won their second round matches in straight sets – Wozniacki beat the darkness to take out a mummified, Tsvetana Pironkova, 6-3 6-4 in a match that featured some sensational rallies. Kontaveit delivered a brutal display of hitting to beat the number 29 seed, Daria Kasatkina, 6-3 6-2.
In other matches…
Polona Hercog is into the third round of a Slam for the first time since the 2010 French Open with a come-from-behind win over Varvara Lepchenko, 6-7(2) 6-2 6-2. This is yet another super comeback story as Hercog spent an extended time on the sidelines between last year's US Open and this year's French Open where she won her first round qualifying match.
Petra Martic backed up her 10-8 third set victory over Daria Gavrilova in the first round with a much more straightforward win – 6-1 6-4 over Denisa Allertova.
Lesia Tsurenko edged a tight three setter with Viktorija Golubic, 6-1 2-6 6-3. Golubic won a magnificent point to get back to deuce with Tsurenko leading *4-3 in the decider, but the Ukrainian player held serve, thanks to a stunning backhand winner at deuce. Tsurenko broke to love for the win.
Zarina Diyas came from 1-5 down in the second set, saving three set points, before sealing a straight sets win over Arina Rodionova, 6-4 7-6(4).
ICYMI: A pair of posts from my day at Wimbledon on Wednesday are up. The joy from the Team Bucie's first round win in doubles feels odd now after such a terrible day. There's lots of photos up so enjoy!
For a full album of photos from Wednesday, check out the Moo's Tennis Blog Facebook page.
The order of play is up for Friday's schedule and I am mega disappointed. Azarenka-Watson is up first on Centre, followed by two men's matches. The WTA matches have been awesome this week and I was hoping the schedulers would give the nod for two women's matches on Centre. Venus Williams vs. Naomi Osaka was the obvious contender for Centre considering Venus has played both her matches this week on No.1 Court. Furthermore, many of the women's matches are likely to be at the same time tomorrow so I am disappointed.
Still, it's an exciting line-up for Friday and I am hoping it will be slightly more chilled than Thursday. A trio of snap previews are up on the blog.
And finally, wishing all the best to Daniela Hantuchova who announced her retirement from the WTA tour today.

The government charged eight people with using data obtained by hacking into two credit card processors in a worldwide scheme that netted some $45 million within hours, a crime prosecutors described as one of the biggest bank heists in history.
The individuals formed the New York-based cell of a global cybercriminal organization that stole MasterCard debit card data from two Middle Eastern banks, the Justice Department said. The information was used to make more than 40,500 withdrawals at automated teller machines in 27 countries, prosecutors said.
The cards were issued by National Bank of Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates and Bank of Muscat in Oman, prosecutors said.
Bank representatives could not be reached for comment outside of regular business hours.
The case demonstrates the major threat that cybercrime still poses to banks around the world. Security experts frequently identify electronic fraud as one of the key challenges facing banks.
"Hackers only need to find one vulnerability to cause millions of dollars of damage," said Mark Rasch, a former federal cybercrimes prosecutor in Bethesda, Md.
Authorities said they arrested seven of the eight defendants, all U.S. citizens and residents of Yonkers, NY. They are Jael Mejia Collado, Joan Luis Minier Lara, Evan Jose Peña, Jose Familia Reyes, Elvis Rafael Rodriguez, Emir Yasser Yeje and Chung Yu-Holguin.
The eighth defendant charged in the indictment, Alberto Yusi Lajud-Peña, also known as "Prime" and "Albertico," was murdered April 27 in the Dominican Republic, according to prosecutors. U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch in Brooklyn, NY, who filed the charges, said at a press conference it was unclear whether the murder was related to the cybercrime case.
Prosecutors said the attacks, known as "unlimited operations," occurred in two separate incidents, in December 2012 and February 2013.
The hackers gained access to companies that process debit card transactions, eliminated the maximum withdrawal limits on the cards and then employed "casher" crews to take money out of ATMs worldwide using the stolen data, prosecutors said.
After the cards were shut down, cashers laundered the proceeds, often by buying luxury goods, and sent a portion of the money back to the organization's leaders, according to prosecutors.
In the New York area, the ring withdrew nearly $400,000 in less than three hours at more than 140 ATMs, the prosecutors said. On another occasion, about $2.4 million was collected in nearly 3,000 ATM withdrawals over 10 hours, they said.
This is the second-biggest bank robbery in New York City history, Lynch said, after the so-called "Lufthansa heist," in which robbers stole millions in cash and jewelry from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Lynch said it was likely that the headquarters of the global scheme is outside the U.S., adding that investigators are also examining whether cells are operating elsewhere in this country.
In a statement, MasterCard said it had cooperated with law enforcement in the investigation and stressed that its systems were not involved or compromised in the attacks.

Also, I did it. 5,001.7 miles. I thought this moment would come with a lot more fanfare from me. Quite frankly, I feel like poo, and I probably shouldn't even be at work. I've got too much going on, though.
With that aside, here were the most popular photos of 2008 according to my Flickr Stats. I modified it to show only the ones I've posted here. Some are popular that I never posted here (and don't really belong here).
I need to go through and come up with my 10 personal favorites, because I have some favorites I took that weren't terribly popular on Flickr.

I may try to see if I can ride my bike more miles than both my wife and I drive combined in '09. That might be interesting.

Speaking of which, I haven't changed the oil in my Focus in over a year. I guess I'd better get crack-a-lackin'. I use synthetic that's good for 10,000 miles of regular use, 5,000 miles of "hard" use. I probably only have 4,000 miles on the oil. I barely touched the Focus this year.

Congrats on the mileage. I know some people prefer not to count miles. I've been keeping track since 2003. I think 2005 was my first 5000 mile year. That was a cool number to reach when it had seemed nearly impossible just a few years earlier.

Congratulations on hitting the mark set by yourself. While flying home from Atlanta, I picked up an issue of Bicycling magazine. It was chock full of folks who have remade themselves through cycling. Thanks for being one of the many people who make cycling such a part of ordinary life. BTW, I'm starting to have an epiphany for myself as well. I think I'm going to pick up a trainer and start hammering again. I need to drop about fifty odd pounds (not the even kind). I'll use you as my idol! ;-)

You know, Lorin, instead of getting a trainer, you could just ride downtown with me a few times per week. :P

Cool idea, posting the most popular photos from '08. I think your personal favorites will be more interesting to see, though, because in my experience, my photos that become popular are usually not my best and have me scratching my head as to why they have so many views.

I found this gorgeously grey country style hallway on Pinterest a while ago, but didn't share it because I struggled to find the original source. I've now tracked it down (I should've guessed really – it's the wonderful Ben Kendrick and Brent Darby for Country Living) so can post it last and we can all drool over it together.
{Brent Darby for Country Living}
I love it all – the contrast of the soft grey and red brick, the rough linen bench cushion, the touches of seagrass and rattan. It will be many moons before I have any hope of having my dream country home (although I'm happy to report I'm one baby step closer) but when I do, I would love to welcome my visitors into a hallway like this. All that's missing is a dog!

At most, recognizing that our history was inspired by many tales we now recognize as false should make us alert, ready to call to constantly into question the very tale we believe true, because the criterion of the wisdom of the community is based on constant awareness of the fallibility of our learning.

Given that there are seven billion people living on this earth, there is a consistent quantity of imbecile or idiot, okay. Previously, these people could express themselves only with their friends or at the bar after two or three glasses of something, and they said every silliness, and people laughed. Now they have the possibility to show up on the internet. And so, on the internet, along with the messages of a lot of interesting and important people - even the Pope is writing on Twitter - we have a great quantity of idiots.

History is rich with adventurous men, long on charisma, with a highly developed instinct for their own interests, who have pursued personal power - bypassing parliaments and constitutions, distributing favours to their minions, and conflating their own desires with the interests of the community.

There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him.

I returned to the courtyard and saw that the sun had grown weaker. Beautiful and clear as it had been, the morning (as the day approached the completion of its first half) was becoming damp and misty. Heavy clouds moved from the north and were invading the top of the mountain, covering it with a light brume. It seemed to be fog, and perhaps fog was also rising from the ground, but at that altitude it was difficult to distinguish the mists that rose from below and those that come down from above. It was becoming hard to discern the bulk of the more distant buildings.

What is love? There is nothing in the world, neither man nor Devil nor any thing, that I hold as suspect as love, for it penetrates the soul more than any other thing. Nothing exists that so fills and binds the heart as love does. Therefore, unless you have those weapons that subdue it, the soul plunges through love into an immense abyss.

In that face, deformed by hatred of philosophy, I saw for the first time the portrait of the Antichrist, who does not come from the tribe of Judas, as his heralds have it, or from a far country. The Antichrist can be born from piety itself, from excessive love of God or of the truth, as the heretic is born from the saint and the possessed from the seer. Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. Jorge did a diabolical thing because he loved his truth so lewdly that he dared anything in order to destroy falsehood.

The Gallery
Hayletts Gallery
Oakwood House
2 High Street
+44 (0)7947 012802
Tuesday to Saturday 10am - 5pm
The gallery is housed in the ground floor of a handsome eighteenth century building at the top end of Maldon High Street, within Maldon's conservation area. Surrounded by an eclectic mix of Victorian, Georgian and modern architecture, visitors will also be able to visit an interesting array of boutique shops, coffee houses and restaurants.
Make a day of it ...
After enjoying Hayletts Gallery and Maldon High Street, take a wander down to the quayside overlooking the river Blackwater and view our famous Thames Barges and watch the world go by over a drink at one of the waterfront pubs.
Maldon is one of Essex's earliest recorded towns. The main part of the town is thought to date back to the 5th Century AD but the surrounding area was inhabited as early as the Bronze Age and subsequently by the Romans, Saxons and Vikings.
Positioned on the river Blackwater the town was ideally placed for maritime trade and became an important trading port for many centuries. Unfortunately it was also vulnerable to attack by the Vikings, who eventually defeated Earl Brithnoth and his men at the Battle of Maldon in 991. A statue commemorating Brithnoth has been erected at the end of the promenade looking down the estuary towards the battle site. The statue was created by local sculpture John Doubleday.
More recently the town has become known as the home of Maldon sea salt, which is made from the salt crystals of the salt marshes following methods used in the Maldon area for over 2000 years.
Hythe Quay takes its name from an Old Saxon word meaning landing place. It has been in use for a thousand years and is a lovely picturesque spot with views over the marshes, two good pubs, and an award winning park and of course the famous barges.
The Plume Library in Maldon is one of the oldest reference libraries in the UK and is of great National importance. It was established by Thomas Plume in the 17th century it is still home over 6000 books including many from the 16-17th Century.
Maldon Moot hall is a one of the earliest brick buildings in Essex, or indeed England, having been built in approximately 1420. It has a magnificent spiral staircase, Dickensian well court, Georgian dado panelled council chamber and remnants of old borough gaol with prisoners exercise yard and views of Maldon from the roof.
Close to the gallery are the remains of St Giles' Hospital. This Grade 1 listed building is said to have been founded by Henry II, to house lepers. The existing ruins date from the 12th Century.
For the opening times of historical sites please contact the Tourist Information Centre, telephone 01621 856503

Charges were filed Wednesday against a Cañon City man accused of committing a burglary Jan. 22 at the Kountry Korner store.
Brent Michael Roberts, 18, was charged with one count each of second-degree burglary, theft and criminal mischief. The counts are class 4 felonies.
Roberts was arrested with a 17-year-old male shortly after a neighbor reported seeing three people going in and out of the store at 15th Street and Central Avenue at 3 a.m. Jan. 22.
Responding officers observed three males running east toward the KRLN studio on Central Avenue. The officers chased the males and located two of the three hiding in the grass.
Officers searched the area and recovered many items that had been taken from the store, including chips, cigarettes, lottery tickets, candies, cash and computers, totaling more than $6,000. They also are accused of causing damage at the store that made it unable to conduct business for three days.
Later, officers and members of the Combined Investigative Response Team, arrested Douglas Aaron Ghiorso, 18, at a Cañon City residence. He is believed to be the individual who fled the Kountry Korner burglary.
Ghiorso and the 17-year-old also are being held in connection with the Jan. 17 burglary of the Fremont County Administration Building, 615 Macon Ave.
Sheriff's Capt. Don Pinover said it appears that suspects entered that building after breaking a window on the roof. They then dropped through the ceiling into the office areas and left the building by breaking a plate glass window in the Motor Vehicle office.
Pinover reported that $200 was taken from the county treasurer's office. He said there is no indication that the suspects disturbed any files or computers, and authorities believe the burglars were only seeking money.
Ghiorso will appear in court for filing of charges Feb. 6.
Roberts is being held on the Fremont County Jail on $10,000 bond, and Ghiorso is being held on $15,000 bond.

Digital Signage and Professional Display Market Set for Solid Growth in 2012
Declining prices in LCD panels fuels growth
Demand for more digital signage in public spaces and installations as well declining prices of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels will help fuel the worldwide signage and professional display market, with growth in 2012 set to rise a healthy 12.6 percent from year-ago levels, according to an IH S iSuppli Signage & Professional Displays Market Tracker report from information and analytics provider IHS.
Shipments of signage and professional displays in 2012 are projected to reach 17.3 million units, up from 15.4 million units last year and 13.5 million units in 2010. Deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2011 alone—the latest time for which full figures are available—amounted to some 4.3 million units, worth an estimated $3.8 billion. The market will continue to see solid expansion in the years to come, with total shipments hitting 25.8 million units by 2016.
The digital signage market includes displays used for both digital out-of-home communication and commercial applications. As a form of digital media, digital signage deploys advertising, branding, entertainment and information to their target audiences, using a network of displays in which content can be remotely controlled, managed and updated.
Growth in digital signage comes mainly from its proliferating use in installations for commercial markets like the retail and hospitality industries, and also in public areas such as sports venues. Likewise aiding industry expansion are the rapidly decreasing prices of LCD displays in 40-, 42- and 46-inch sizes, as well as advances in technology related to super-narrow bezel video walls, interactive touch screens and high-brightness outdoor displays, IHS has determined.
"Marketers are eager to reach on-the-go consumers and shoppers through digital signage," said Sanju Khatri, director for signage and public information displays at IHS. "Digital place-based media continues to gather momentum, using technology to balance central coordination with local intelligence for creating tailored communication with customers."
Signs of strength
Among the markets where digital signage and professional displays are most often employed, the three highest-performing segments last year were retail, hospitality/healthcare and government/corporate, and the same is expected for 2012. Other important segments include education, the outdoor market, and the control room/simulation sector.
Meanwhile, the top three display technologies generating the largest revenue for signage and professional displays this year will be LCD at $8.3 billion, front projection at $3.6 billion and light-emitting diode (LED) at $1.4 billion. A small market also exists for signage utilizing plasma display and rear-projection technologies.
Sign size rises
The 40- to 44-inch and the 45- to 49-inch categories were dominant in 2011, but the focus by 2016 will shift toward even larger sizes, including the 50- to 59-inch group of displays. Smaller sizes, such as the 25- to 29-inch and the 30- to 34-inch, are predicted to lose traction as larger-sized displays become more affordable.
Within the vital in-room hospitality displays market of North America, LG Electronics was the dominant player in the fourth quarter last year, with 47 percent share of shipments. LG sells directly to its customers in the hospitality industry, a strategy that has served the South Korean firm well, especially in securing big corporate contracts with hotel chains.
Other notable performers included Samsung Electronics, also from South Korea and considered by the industry as the technology leader, with 17 percent market share; and Panasonic Corp. from Japan, with 15 percent share.

|Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
|John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)
Political Thought is one of the strengths in the Online Library of Liberty collection. We have gathered a broad range of material stretching back to the ancient world in order to show how ideas about limited and constitutional government have evolved. There is a strong concentration of material from the 18th and 19th centuries when revolutions in America and Europe, designed to create such limited constitutional government, took place. The material on the U.S. Constitution and the Founding Fathers is particularly rich.
The OLL has the complete works of many major political theorists (many of which are older editions and thus are not as "complete" as some modern editions), such as Plato, Tacitus, James Harrington, John Locke, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Alexander Hamilton. It has the selected works of many others, such as Aristotle, Cicero, Thomas Hobbes, John Milton, Immanuel Kant, Edmund Burke, Richard Cobden, John Stuart Mill, and Herbert Spencer.

Surveying the remnants of nature's destructive power in the country's midsection, President Barack Obama on May 7 pledged to residents of tornado-ravaged Arkansas communities that their government will stand with them until they finish rebuilding.
Obama said he wanted to visit this small city about a half-hour north of Little Rock to make sure those grieving the loss of loved ones, their homes and treasured possessions know that they will not be forgotten.
"I'm here to make sure that they know and that everybody who's been affected knows that the federal government's going to be right here until we get these communities rebuilt," Obama said after walking through a subdivision in which just six of its 56 homes had any part still standing after storms tore across the state on April 27, killing 15 people.
"When something like this happens to a wonderful community like this one, it happens to all of us," he said.
Obama first surveyed the wreckage by air, peering down from the windows of his helicopter onto a subdivision of short cul-de-sacs that was destroyed. The still-visible rubble was evidence of the random but surgical devastation a twister is capable of.
After meeting privately with grieving families, emergency workers and local officials, Obama set out on foot through a section of Vilonia, where residents felt a sense of deja vu. Four people died after a tornado hit Vilonia in 2011.
He also stopped alongside a pile of debris and wooden planks to chat with Daniel Smith and his sons, Gabriel Dority, 9, and Garrison Dority, 6.
"This town has seen more than its fair share of tragedy," Obama observed, speaking in front of the wreckage of destroyed homes. The sunny afternoon beneath a nearly cloudless sky was a sharp contrast to the dark storms that struck less than two weeks ago. "But folks here are tough, they look out for one another and that's been especially clear over the past week."
Obama said there is a lot of cleanup and rebuilding that remains to be done to make Vilonia whole again "but I'm here to remind them they're not doing this work alone. Your country's going to be here for you. We're going to support you every step of the way."
"I could not be more impressed by the spirit of community that is here," he said.
Among the elected officials accompanying Pres. Obama on the tour was Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor, who is seeking re-election to a third term against Republican Rep. Tom Cotton in one of the most expensive and closely watched Senate races in the country. Neither faces an opponent in the May 20 primary.
Obama also was joined by Gov. Mike Beebe and U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin.
Pryor's willingness to appear with Obama contrasts with other Democrats in difficult races who have chosen to keep the president at arm's length. Obama lost Arkansas in the 2008 and 2012 elections and remains deeply unpopular in the state, polls show.
Republicans have made major gains in Arkansas over the past two elections by tying Democrats to Obama and his policies, particularly the federal health care law. The GOP controls both chambers of the state Legislature and holds all but one of its congressional seats.
Obama visited a day after his administration released a new report on climate change that attributed severe weather such as hurricanes and droughts to global warming. The report, however, says the effect of climate change on the intensity or frequency of tornadoes is uncertain, and scientists are unsure whether climate change has played a role in recent erratic patterns of tornado activity.
The visit was Obama's second in recent weeks to see up close the force of nature's destructive power. Late last month, Obama visited a site in Oso, Wash., where more than 40 people were killed by a massive mudslide in March.
Associated Press writer Andrew DeMillo in Little Rock, Ark., contributed to this report.

Most men don't aspire to be pretty, or let alone be called "pretty." Though we're now way beyond the era of the so-called "metrosexuals," actually those dudes now have boomer'ed into the 50+ age group (time does fly). But, to be sure, that word is still not welcome in our grooming world. Unless you're the infamous bank robber, Pretty Boy Floyd. But, as Beyoncé's smash single "Pretty Hurts" suggests, staying steps ahead of the anti-aging game can be physically and emotionally taxing on us. Yet, it's the behind-closed-doors struggle to stall signs of aging that we're talking about here. Male models can go through four to eight shows and many more makeup applications and removals on a single shoot. Often donning heaps more drying face powder than their female counterparts. So let's grab a few remedies that mimic their (sometimes) harsh grooming routine. We're here to make it easy. Really easy. With options.
Yes, we want to look good. Yes, science is keeping us younger looking. And, yes, the face of men's anti-aging has extended beyond proven topical creams. And we intend to show you how in the following paragraphs. And yes, this means we may have reached a point in men's grooming where we can coast a bit. Which is why I'm throwing confidence and accessories into the feel good, look good arena of anti-aging. Read on for some real winners breaking new ground, beyond "new and improved."
I actually have AcuVue to blame for this new outlook on life. You see, simultaneously, I see you up close and far away, but you don't see my glasses, readers or bifocals. Or even know that I suffer from the common over-40 ailment of seeing fine print or limitations in dim light, or "presbyopia." Why? Because one of those marvels you hoped would always happen, just did! 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST Brand MULTIFOCAL are contact lenses of the remarkable kind. What's so innovative? Multifocal? Think about it. I'm rather new to the up-close "readers," but how many of us carry both distance glasses and computer or reading glasses for documents? And sometimes sunglasses if they're not built in as transition lenses. We make the effort with the latest fashion trends and hairstyles and have obtained the ability to look much younger thanks to skincare advancements and injectables. So let's apply a now important layer of anti-aging—with the one accessory that can age us irrevocably faster than a pair of old-fashioned shoes, a class ring or a copper bracelet from the '70s. I mean, trade in the eyewear (or give them some days off) that's dragging down your ageless style meter. Forget the past or any memory of contact lenses. With super moist contacts that act as up close readers and distance glasses in one lens, you'll be amazed at the comfort and the seamless transition of far to close. This is one way of seriously bringing your anti-aging regimen full circle. I love mine. You'll love the freedom and your updated youthful appearance, only having to worry about a pair of sunglasses worthy of 2016.
The next time someone says "OI" don't assume they're saying "Oye!" or "Oy Vay." They're probably referring to amazing scent of Davines' "OI" hair, skin and body line using Roucou Oil that's extracted from the rare annatto plant. And honestly? OI not only is the best organic fragrance you've ever sniffed, ever, it's proven to neutralize free radicals that are harmful to your locks and skin. If only once (I've become hooked on the scent) you sample the full range of OI's products, you'll at least know what the world is speaking of when they chant the power of plant-based products. Starting one's day with OI Body Wash is a surefire way to send you into your own private Zen moment with the truly healing memorable, healing scent. Authentic Moisturizing Balm for face, hair and body is made from 98 percent naturally derived ingredients including organic Carthame Oil, making it perfect as an all over, men's top-to-toes moisturizing emollient. Add to that OI Hand Balm, same delicious scent with a bit more matte feeling for hands. For hair, OI All In One Milk is terrific for curly, naturally dry or chemically treated hair as a leave-in hair moisturizer spray milk. And just as perfect for virgin fine hair if sprayed in moderation. OI Oil is the absolute end-all to shiny, bouncy, hydrated hair that smells OMG awesome, tamed and manageable. Out of the OI range, This Is Oil Non Oil (a not-too-slick hair styling moisturizer) is the perfect introduction to Davines' unique approach to beautifying our physical lives—as this has long been my primary hair staple, worn alone or mixed with hair cream as a hair control cocktail.
Forging a futuristic path, FOREO has proven to be one of the most simplistic, yet advanced innovators in grooming history and has teamed up (as gift pack buddies) with one of the oldest, most respected shaving product companies, Proraso, who has also become ultra-current without losing their old-world appeal and earthy skin saving shave ingredients. And packaged it in a (pretty) masculine, counter worthy way.
Foreo launched Luna 2 as a 3-IN-1 palm-sized facial device that cleanses and lifts bearded areas as a scrub and as an anti-ager in a separate step, if you wish to infuse serums or moisture treatments. Truth? This is a man toy that will pay you back in years of "looks longevity", and its charge lasts a long time. I left mine for 3 months after using it for weeks. It started right up like a British racecar. Luna's anti-microbial rubber "tentacles" are a critical upside, whether you value that or not. The Cleanser is also ultra-modern, morphing a marine blue gel into white foam, using hydrothermal minerals from volcanic water to purify and protect and is a great compliment to Luna 2.
Now shaving. With men's beard fashion (yes), shaving has become a trendy art, possibly adding a few minutes to our "man in the mirror" time. But shaving every third day has also become very acceptable.
Proraso is 100 percent Italian, where their brand was born with Pre Shave Cream in 1948. And, although I've tried everything, I hadn't used Proraso until recently. And I loved it for being luxuriously simple, yet rich and effective. Though, luckily, it's not as basic as it may appear, addressing all skin types, Proraso uses a Green, White, Red or Blue range of products, each pairing skin type to compatible oils, extracts and lubricants to provide an effortless, non-abrasive shave—and more importantly, leave your skin feeling as if you may not need a post treatment. THAT'S when I knew. Let's face it, supple skin directly after a shave feels amazing. Oatmeal extracts, Green Tea and Thyme are the sensitive skin infusions from the White line, while I opted for their Green line, with menthol and eucalyptus oils. Use Pre Shave Cream. It has a pre-lubricant purpose and meant to be massaged into skin and you can add more as you go with hot water (use your FOREO!). I think this is the most forgotten step to shaving (I get razor bumps without using a pre-shave and lifting my beard). Shaving Cream (tube), Shaving Soap or Shaving Foam are our comfort zones but are also the second step. Their cream is outstanding and goes through a curating period at manufacture for a frothy application (best with a brush). Each color line has a great post-shave balm, tonic or cream and free of alcohols. Since I write for beauty, I usually go straight for the mega serums. But Proraso's After Shave Balm impressed, using Aloe Vera's highly soothing and refreshing effect, Vitamin E as an anti-oxidant barrier and Licorice to calm and and reduce irritation or redness. Proraso and FOREO are two perfect ways to start 2016 in a noticeable way.
Kiehl's is a terrific brand that was built on simplicity, effectiveness and trust. And the supermodels from the late eighties basically pushed it to the stratosphere. That said, Kiehl's has found itself with just the right amount of luxe, science and trendy buzz word hero ingredients. Men's Oil Eliminator Spray Toner is a really great niche product that I love. I'm doing more layers of skincare artillery, so starting off with the Mattifying and pore constricting spray is something you use once and you'll always have it handy. Another revelation Iris Essence. The first layer of restructure, calming, or high, bright and tight. Essence is essentially a diluted or less potent player, but occasionally not. Meaning, certain pure plant extracts are powerful and absorbable to layers that need help (hyper-pigment dark spots that haven't formed yet—as an inhibitor). I LOVE that Kiehl's thought enough to put out a giant bottle of anti-aging remedy. One ounce creams and treatments make me nervous. So if I really like the results, I always tell people buy two. If you really want to add that extra kick to accelerated sloughing (let the product work—no "sanding"), the Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion is a bit denser, which means it exfoliates better and polishes the dead or flaky skin (sometimes we don't see it). I recommend going in circles the size of a quarter where blackheads and pores may be. A few extra swirls can push sebum and other particles out). More swirls, less pressure. I've learned the hard way. Facial Fuel Transformer Age Correcting Moisture Gel for Men is a real game changer for men (and women flock to it too) because it combats age lines and sluggish skin while it dually infuses moisture and because it's a gel cream, you get the rich, rubbery, slightly matte hydration without the heaviness. If your fare, sensitive or tanned and have a few dark spots from being in the sun while having an abrasion, blemish or boil.
Most men know Mario Badescu for procuring some of the most unique shaving products that they're forever committed to. 'Planet rulers' that would never give up their sky blue Pre-Shave Conditioner gel or their Executive Collection dopp kit. Gym bag non-negotiables are After Shave Moisturizer or Protein After Shave Lotion (not just for post-shaving) because sometimes sweat itself burns your face if you shaved that morning. Mario Badescu has always been in my repertoire with standout items that only they produce and couldn't live without. Like Hyaluronic Emulsion With Vitamin C (a great moisture line plumper with cumulative benefits) is a forceful combo that could stand alone into the decades. Seriously. And Vitamin C Serum as a full strength brightener, strengthener and stimulator. Add on top of that Cellufirm Drops and (yes, layers) Vitamin A & E Hydrating Balm and you're good skin day just became great, as your addressing (forcefully) most the aging heavy's like lackluster skin, sagging, spots and lines. How I was turned on to Mario Badescu is another story, but when two Editor In Chiefs explain that hand cream and paper don't mix unless you're using Mario Badescu, you listen. And why I use Fruit & Vitamin Hand Cream or Hydrating Hand Cream all day—because it disappears into your skin (no slippery hands), while their Cuticle Cream heals jagged, ragged and torn cuticles overnight. Your new best friends for winter dryness!
Lab Series For Men has consistently leaped ahead of the biological aging curve, giving many of their original Baby Boomer customers stronger, more active results-oriented products. That track record speaks volumes, having the ability to discover ways of reversing natural age and damage while speeding up the turnover process. Slower, mature skin can look tired, sallow, flaky and droopy all at once. And why MAX LS was created—to focus on revving up aging skin or men who forgot to moisturize or faced the seasonal elements year after year. Here are some new and potent additions to the MAX LS line: Skin Recharging Water Lotion is the newest way to cleanse and hydrate at a molecular level, without rinsing. Splash, massage in and wipe. Future Rescue Repair Serum is a very powerful cream geleé that you can feel working hard. And "to help reshape the look of skin" Power V Lifting Serum and Power V Lifting Lotion are a sure fire way to energize, tighten and smooth while being lightweight. Or, try Power V Lifting Cream, for dryer skin or nighttime renewal. If your skin is getting "too tight" (no sympathy here), you can toggle the Age Rescue Water Charged Gel Cream (a favorite) over their lift serum. Great all-in-one gym items are Bonus Size Pro LS All-In-One Face Treatment or Age Rescue+ Face Lotion, a lightweight, firming gel-lotion formula with Ginseng minimizes visible lines, wrinkles, skin discolorations and broken capillaries. Lab Series is serious about delivering results to your skin!
A luxe naturalist, are you? If you love manly, artisanal products then you will feel very much like a sophisticated countryman with Bumble & Co. Their small batch, handcrafted skin and body care products are cruelty free, are devoid of artificial ingredients and contain the finest botanicals, extracts, salts and clays. I love their Herbal Face Cleansing Oil, lavender and mint Lip Balm, as well as the great scent of the Goat Milk Soap. If you're a shaving purist, Bumble & Co.'s boar's head Shave Brush and their tin pot of lubricating Shave Soap is a rich cream paste of essential lavender oil, hemp seed oil and shea butter. If that combo doesn't make your skin soft, nothing will.
I've learned to love (and respect) Jack Black products from their somewhat basic start to their now rapid advancement of skin science, providing great results by targeting niche skincare needs of the aging-aware man—at realistic prices. I'm continually impressed. Their DIY Power Peel, Line Smoother 8% Glycolic Acid Treatment and Protein Booster Skin Serum should get your want-to-look-younger attention. For daily, no-brainer upkeep, I really love All-Over Body Spray with citrus, mint and rosemary (yes, you can spray it there). Or my new favorite, Double-Header Shampoo + Conditioner with Coconut Oil & Kelp Extract. It's gentle on the clean and leaves hair soft. If you're a "slick-back-and go" kind of guy, then Jack Black's Military Palm Brush has your name all over it—especially if you're using wax or pomade! They're in it to win it.
Leave your scent behind—in a good way! Le Labo Fragrances has long been one of my, and many people's, secret weapons. One or two drops from their fine oils collection as a standalone fragrance always stopped a passerby. I used them as a base to make my couture fragrances "pop". Them being Santal 33, Vetiver 46 or Fleur D'Oranger 27. And now, Patchouli 24. For men of the 50+ set, Le Labo's haute-refinement of yesteryear's street raw scent (I used patchouli too…) is reason to partake in patchouli all over again. Le Labo is so true to the plant extract, a man could even confidently wear (or blend) the Rose 31. Available in solid perfume (travel compacts), liquid balms (roll on), perfume oil (droppers) and of course, sprays. Le Labo not only helped redefine unisex scents, they made it okay to universally label fine fragrances (masculine or feminine) "perfume". Like using "actor" for all of Hollywood, Le Labo is here to stay on the walk of fame.
If you can't get to a store or are in a serious rush, then Perfumania's website has long been a trusted online retailer for gifts, old favorites no longer sold in retail stores (for the ladies in your life) or your personal picks at an affordable price. Terre D'Hermes For Men has become a staple item for many upscale gents for its orange, pepper, bay rose, patchouli and vetiver notes, while Marc Ecko Unltd. 72 is a new release by the namesake designer that makes for a nice daytime scent, which can go from a walk in the park to a tasteful luncheon in confidence with notes of Crisp Ozone, Italian Bergamot, Frozen Apple, Smoke and Suede. One Million by Paco Rabanne is a nice (rich) surprise with blends of sparkling grapefruit, red orange, mint, rose, blond leather, blond wood, patchouli and amber. The last two fragrances charted much higher, moments after the universal ingredient diffused and the indulgent notes became unique.
Now, what are we gonna do about those wrinkles? The NuFACE Trinity with Facial Trainer is what you need. Watch the "how-to" video, reserve a few five minute time slots on a regular basis and watch your skin lift up and the wrinkles with it. Cheekbones can be pumped, just like biceps!
There's a lot to go by in this millennial men's roundup for bona fide self-improvement or attempting to recapture some years left on the table by Father Time. You're sure to look better, look younger and enjoy the ability to maintain some control in how we are perceived as (the most of gentle) men. Cheers.

This is LilyPad Arduino — the main board consisting of an ATmega328 with the Arduino bootloader and a minimum number of external components to keep it as small (and as simple) as possible. Board will run from 2V to 5V. The latest version of the LilyPad supports automatic reset for even easier programming. The back side of the LilyPad is now completely flat! We now use a surface mount programming connector to keep the header from poking through.
This version of the LilyPad now uses the new ATmega328 at 8MHz. With Arduino software 0016 (or higher) use the Arduino Pro Mini 328/8MHz setting to program the LilyPad 328.
LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed by Leah Buechley. Each LilyPad is designed to have large connecting pads to allow them to be sewn into clothing. Various input, output, power, and sensor boards are available. They're even washable!

When e-readers display only a few words per line, some people with dyslexia can read more easily, quickly and with greater comprehension, researchers have discovered.
Matthew H. Schneps, director of the Laboratory for Visual Learning at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the lead author of the research, has previously conducted a a similar study where he discovered that the use of short lines improves the efficiency of eye movements in dyslexic students. This study differs because Schneps examines the specific role the small hand-held reader has on comprehension. The findings are published in the Sept. 18 issue of the journal PLoS ONE.
In many cases of dyslexia there is an element called visual attention deficit, which is marked by an inability to concentrate on letters within words or words within lines of text. Using short lines on an e-reader can alleviate these issues and promote reading by reducing visual distractions within the text.
The study included 103 students with dyslexia at a high school in Boston, who were tested on their reading comprehension and reading speed. Reading on paper was compared with reading on small hand-held e-readers, that were set up to only include lines of text that were two to three words long.
The use of an e-reader significantly improved speed and comprehension in many of the students. Those students with a pronounced visual attention deficit benefited most from reading text on a handheld device versus on paper, while the students without visual attention deficit did not benefit from an e-reader. The small screen on a handheld device displaying few words, versus a full sheet of paper, is believed to narrow the reader's focus, helping them control visual distractions.
"At least a third of those with dyslexia we tested have these issues with visual attention and are helped by reading on the e-reader," said Schneps. "For those who don't have these issues, the study showed that the traditional ways of displaying text are better."
As e-readers grow in popularity as alternatives to traditional books, these findings suggest that this reading method can be an effective intervention for struggling readers and can perhaps become an educational resource for those with dyslexia.

Francis Gurry has led WIPO as Director General since October 1, 2008. He was reappointed in May 2014 for a second six-year term, which runs through September 2020.
Under his leadership, WIPO is addressing major challenges. These include managing the stress on the international patent and copyright systems produced by rapid technological change, by globalization and increased demand; reducing the knowledge gap between developed and developing countries; and ensuring that the intellectual property (IP) system serves its fundamental purpose of encouraging creativity and innovation in all countries.
To equip WIPO to meet these evolving challenges, Francis Gurry has led a comprehensive program of organizational change, realigning WIPO's programs, resources and structures with re-defined strategic goals.

This is my second look inspired by the band Free Energy. I wanted to test drive my newly acquired dork glasses and my floral dress.
I also posted this on Chictopia. Click HERE. I got a bulk of nice comments. Thank you.
I bought 3 dork glasses--the other two are in brown and another black one. These shoes are killer high but surprisingly comfy! I've been wearing it everyday. Just kidding.
This is the first time I've worn the dress and I wore it at my rooftop for a few snaps before it travels to the washing machine.
And of course, Harley had to join me.

78. JESSIE B. RITTENHOUSE: My Wage
Jessie Belle Rittenhouse (1869-1948) was a literary critic and poet. In 1930, she was awarded the first Robert Frost (a Zen Pencils favourite) Medal for lifetime achievement in poetry. It's nice to feature another female author, I haven't done nearly enough. Let me know if you have any other great quotes by inspiring women.
Thanks to Phil for submitting this wonderful poem. There's not much I can add, the poem speaks for itself – I just hope I did it justice. Would love to hear if you interpreted it differently or if you agree/disagree with the message.
– On a side note, here's another interview I did, this time with Indian youth website The Viewspaper.

Bryan Adams fans in Calgary will be on cloud nine when the Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee closes out the annual Oxford Stomp concert this Stampede season.
Adams will be joined by an all-Canadian all-star lineup of openers including Amanda Marshall, who went to number one on the Canadian charts with her hit song Dark Horse, and '90s pop-rock hit makers Odds.

Bryan Adams to headline Oxford Stomp this summer Back to video
Early-bird tickets for this year's Oxford Stomp will also include passes to the Stampede Roundup concert, giving concert-goers the "opportunity to see eight internationally acclaimed recording artists" at a discounted price.
The show will run on July 12 at Shaw Millennium Park.
A portion of ticket sales will go towards the Military Family Resource Centre, which helps support Canadian Armed Forces members and their families with counselling, crisis intervention, social activities and events.
"Dust off your cowboy boots and act quickly as this is going to be one hot ticket and a sold-out event," said Sarah Geddes, communications director for Oxford Stomp.
Best known for many hits such as the nostalgia-inducing track Summer of '69 and his chart-topping hit from the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack, Adams last played in Calgary this past June. He also played the Stampede Roundup in 2014 and performed at the Saddledome when the Juno awards were held in Calgary in 2016.
Tickets for Oxford Stomp go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

Following in the wake of the multi-platinum girl group Pussycat Dolls came Girlicious, a pop quartet whose music was also rooted in sexually charged slick R&B/pop. The group consists of Nichole Cordova, Tiffanie Anderson, Chrystina Sayers, and Natalie Mejia, and was formed in 2008 by Robin Antin, creator and founder of the Pussycat Dolls. In order to capitalize on the success that her first pop group had achieved across the globe, Antin produced a reality television program to search for the next pop sensation. After thousands auditioned with hopes and dreams of being part of the next "it" group, Antin selected 15 participants who would compete in a program called Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious. The contestants performed rigorous dance routines and delivered group and solo vocal performances as the judges on the show eliminated the competitors, until there were only four left.
In the finale, Antin had planned to eliminate one more contestant to achieve her desired group; however, at the last minute she decided that Girlicious should operate as a foursome rather than a trio -- thus, Cordova, Anderson, Sayers and Mejia all made the cut. Immediately after the public discovered who was going to be in the group, the quartet dropped a digital EP, entitled Like Me/Stupid S**t. The EP was a huge success in digital downloads, and "Like Me" became particularly successful in Canada, hitting number one in video rotations and number four on the Canadian Hot 100. The song also charted on the Billboard Pop 100, mostly because of digital downloads. Their self-titled debut album was slated for release in September 2008, and they agreed to tour with the Backstreet Boys for their Unbreakable Tour that same summer, promoting the album. ~ Matthew Chisling~ Rovi
